You are so right in saying that we do not have a candidate to go up against BO....would someone like Jim DeMint step up to the bat at sometime between now and Nov 6 and hit a home run? I think I am feeling down after watching the FL debate tonight.BDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-60907948727765333302012-01-25T00:15:25.886-05:002012-01-25T00:15:25.886-05:00Doug

Aside for the bigots who will vote for him because he is black, I have not found many who can make a coherent case for reelecting him. The shine is gone. His record on virtually everything has been a dismal failure. Ask seniors (traditionally a solid dem group) about his cutting Medicare. Ask the few democrat small business owners about Obamacare. Ask the Hispanics (at least those who are able to vote; ie legal) what he has done for them in the past 4 years. Ask Christians about his abortion policy, or his new one requiring the churches to provide contraception for free to their employees. The only group that is still radically supporting him are government workers. Except the military of course. I think people are fed up with his OWS pals. I also think people are finding out that Gov. Scott Walkers handling of the Wisconsin fiasco was the right way to go and that the unions have a lot of egg on their faces.<br />Sure, Newt has baggage (the $300,000 people are talking about was for court costs, not a 'fine'). Multiple marriages (did Clinton ask Hilary about Monica before hand?) What was Obama doing back then? Oh yeah, cocaine.<br />Mitt made a bundle, sure. Good for him. I think he needs to explain better how our economic system (at least the one we used to have) works. He could easily line up the unemployed due failed businesses he backed (like Solyndra), lost military jobs, & hundreds of other businesses that are gone or in dire financial situations due directly to his policies. Compare those numbers to those of lost and gained jobs when Romney was at the helm.<br />Santorum is a nice guy, but I think this election is going to be a street fight. I think he will get clobbered asking for the rules.<br />Paul's biggest problem is his foreign policy. He can talk til he is blue in the face, but most people look at him like he is a bigger supporter of the Taliban than Obama. (sorry)<br />Are any of them perfect. Of course not. But you have to play the hand you have. And ANY of them would be FAR superior than Obama.<br />Again, I just do not see B O's claim to be the only one who is electable.<br />Help me out here.<br />ThanksJMnoreply@blogger.com
