As with McCain, the republicans will not run anybody with a chance of winning...

...the presidency in 2012....

Really, did you or anybody else think the McCain/Palin ticket would ever win?
It was all a set up....


When Rove x's Perry, and nobody else has a chance of winning....

Because... Because.... Obama is doing everything they could ever ask for. And Obama has
a Democratic banner on his chest so, well, he must be part of the party 'of the people'...

Right?

Clever. A 'Democratic' president doing the will of the Republicans...

I expect flack....truth does hurt....

Thomas Jefferson Democratic Party - the original Party of the People...

It isn't the 'survival of the fittest' rather, 'survival of those who cooperate'...

New GOP Strategy Involves Reelecting Obama, Making His Life Even More Miserable

WASHINGTON—Calling a GOP victory in the 2012 presidential election antithetical to the party platform, top Republicans revealed a new long-term political strategy Tuesday: reelecting Barack Obama and making his life even more of a living hell than it already is.

"For three years, the Republican Party has coalesced around the single goal of making President Obama's every waking moment sheer and utter torture," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters. "But we can't continue to do that if he's not in office."

"If we are going to make the president a haggard shell of a human being by the time he leaves the White House, we need four more years of never compromising, four more years of miring every piece of legislation in unnecessary procedural muck, four more years of pretending we want to work with the president and then walking away from the table at the last second," McConnell added. "Four more years! Four more years! Obama 2012!"



According to GOP sources, the decision to cede the 2012 election to Obama came after rank-and-file Republicans agreed that grinding the president down to nothing and pushing him to the brink of insanity was far more in line with the Republican Party's core principles than actually controlling the White House, making laws, or governing the country.

5. McCain had a chance to win until he chose Palin as his running mate. /nt

8. Alas the party of Jefferson was not truly a populist party

that was ... Andrew Jackson's party... the ones that adopted the jack ass. In some ways this party is going back, truly... to it's roots... a pro business, establishment party that throws a bone to the people now and again.

9. Well I agree with one part of this

I don't think the Republicans really and truly wanted to win in '08 because they KNEW that Bush had fucked things up so badly that it would take a miracle from heaven to right them again.

They don't have any better answers than anyone else on how to fix it, either.

So what do you do when you can't fix it? Let someone else try to fix it, and then sort of sit around in the background waiting for the poor bastard who got stuck with the mess to get blamed for all of it, including having created it in the first place, even though he didn't.

As far as a Democratic President "doing the will of the Republicans"....no. I don't believe that.

He may not be as "progressive" as many people would like him to be, but that doesn't mean he isn't trying from a Democratic point of view. Seems like a lot of people think anyone who is one iota over to the right of their own position must be a Republican. That's just not true. And fighting over it is just as asinine as Christians badmouthing each other over which denomination is the REAL one.

12. If we don't tell the President how we feel, then they will default to their own policies...

and beliefs. Which might not be the same as ours...

10. Oh please Lord save me from this Obama Hate nonesense...

11. No civil ethical human 'hates' a president or anyone else... Rather

the criticism is to direct my so called Dem President into doing things
that follow the Dem Party policies and beliefs.

Get it?

13. Of course - we could double cross

And throw this election. Stay home. Primary Obama. Whatever. Then the republicans - that is, extremist right wing tea partiers - gain office and destroy the country, giving Dems a clear road for 2016 and beyond. That said, 2012-2016 will be hell on earth, and we'll be even more of a laughingstock than we were with bush in office. But it would certainly be interesting. And we'd surely see a major jump in DU membership.

14. I would have no problem Primary-ing Obama with Sanders or Kucinich or ?

I want, America wants, and the world wants a real Dem president in office..

Because we are so in a world of hurt. And we need, for the first time since the 1930's, a real leader, a real leader for the people.
