My co-worker and I talked about this for a second. She said "there is no way Obama is getting re-elected in 4 years, people arent that dumb"

I replied "Never underestimate how dumb the majority of people are (and I'm NOT talking about democrats - just people in general) & Who else are they gonna vote for?? Palin?? Hell no!! Rush?? Hell no!! There's no way the dems lose the next election unless the conservatives come up with a public figure who is likeable (sp?) AND intelligent."

How Rush can be the voice of the party is beyond me. Nasty old man addicted to hillbilly heroin.


Maybe we'll get lucky and soon it will be COOL to be a libertarian.
That would be far and away the best thing that could happen to America.

Also, it may behoove people to not start calling the next election 60 days after this President started....there is a lot of time left, and things will get better.

And on the other hand, it may not even wind up having anything to do with people being dumb...it may wind up being the fact that most of your public figures/potential candidates scare the crap out of the average American. You're right there.

Obama couldn't do enough damage in four years to give Palin even the slightest shot in hell, because she's a nut, and frankly she has yet to prove that she's even a little bit bright. Normal people anywhere left of the extreme fringe Right are absolutely terrified of her...as they should be.

Huckabee's aw shucks schtick can only provide cover for so long. Jindal's mostly an idiot, and also a far-right zealot on social issues.

Romney's the best you've got, though he may wind up being a really solid choice for you. So there are two things in play...one, that we still don't know how the next three years are going to go and Obama may wind up remaining incredibly popular. Two, even if he does let everyone down, you guys still don't have anything that doesn't irritate or scare the hell out of the normal American (normal American being defined here as "Anything Left of Timm." Or basically everyone).

I think our best man lost the election this past year... too bad he's not 20 years younger.

I'd vote for Pelosi over Palin... just kidding.. I'd stay home and cry.

I think I'm going to run and have Tiger Woods be my VP. I dunno if he's a democrat or republican, but he looks good and everyone loves him.

I just hope my parents live under a rock... cause the things that would come out about me..... oh gosh.

$90 Billion for Hamas.... UNFREAKINREAL. There's some change you can believe in. That may stimulate the rocket factories in Iran, but I really don't think it's in your average, working, taxpaying Americans best interest.

Do you have any idea what this money goes to? Or are you just another hater?

Enlighten me, by all means. Do you know why they were given the Gaza Strip? Are you just another name-caller? Are you of Palestinian decent? Are you going to correct my exaggerated $$ amount? Do you pay enough taxes yet?

I pay plenty of taxes and expect to pay more.

Your dollar amount was not exaggerated and was thankfully 5 times more than Bush had proposed.

I am not of Palestinian decent but think that this is a pittance for people in need compared to what we spend on others. And yes, unfortunately some will no doubt filter to Hamas but it's a start.
