DarkSteven -> A horrifying way Romney might win. (8/16/2012 7:47:16 AM)
This CNN article describes a new strategy to win the White House. The traditional approach has been to consider your base secure, and try for the independents while at the same time registering new sympathetic voters and executing a GOTV effort. The article describes a different method: appeal to the party faithful and motivate them. In other words, the hell with the moderates. Obviously, that failed in 2008. But Obama's faithful seem less energized this time around, and moderates are fewer and fewer...

Sigh. I was there were some magic by which Conservatives could live in what the world would be like if they finally won for a few months, then come back to reality. It would change a lot of votes.

"Horrifying..." [:D] Yeah... 'Cause we are gonna put you in chains when we win...

Well, if Romney wins, it'll reduce my typing on these forums. Every time a lefty starts a thread complaining about Romney, I'm just gonna type: "It's Ofailure's fault" and walk away. Peace and comfort, Michael

They would tell us all what we can do, who we can love, what medical treatments we are allowed to have, what we must believe, and what God we must worship.

And an economy so horrific they can't even imagine...except for those at the top, of course.

Youre describing the New Obama Economy One in four or five people you see today is unemployed or are underemployed. Fuel and food prices are up, gross pay is down and poverty is at a record high quote: ORIGINAL: Musicmystery And an economy so horrific they can't even imagine...except for those at the top, of course.

"The bloated military"? Where is Obamas hard work and leadership doing anything, even toward far left peace nicks dream of slashing the military or raising taxes to punish the successful Oh thats right, he spends all of his time out on the golf course, he is far too busy taking extravagant vacations and playing grab ass with Hollywood elites to bother with the nations business Even his signature Obamacare was a gift to his big insurance lobbyist cronies, wasnt it. Written behind closed doors, hated by a solid majority... the one thing he really accomplished was dog shit from the gate Now all his worshipers have to defend him is to hype fear and hate, divisiveness and loathing This is Obamas "New Tone" There is no hope, there is no change quote: ORIGINAL: Musicmystery Wait 'til Bush on Steroids gets ahold of that baby.

[8\|] Sheesh.. that was only 4-ish years ago.. the US is still trying to dig out of the shite pile created by him (Iraq, the recession/depression, serious govt debt, etc).. [&:]

tj, the conservative mindset has been NOT that "gosh, we went too far on that," but rather "Damn, if we'd only really done this full out, with no compromise or dilution, then it all would have worked!" Yes, that's magical thinking, but that's the position. The Ryan pick underscores this mentality.

Let's understand that we are dealing with a "party" here that is completely in the hands of religious fundamentalists. This means that the ultimate goal of the Republican Party as it exists today is: If you are a woman: you will have no right to end your pregnancy, and the government will make it has hard as possible for you to obtain birth control or preventative medical treatment or screenings. You will NOT make as much money in you job as your male counterparts, cause you know you wimmins leave to have babies and stuff and that makes you a drain on the workforce. If you are homosexual or transgendered: you will have no right to marry, to adopt children, no protections against discrimination, no rights of family or relationship for medical decisions or benefits. Many of them would really like to kill you themselves! If you are a poor black 6-year old girl in Cleveland: you are gonna go hungry again today because there is no safety net for you, and if your mommy cannot find work, she should not have had you in the first place, sorry. Go watch Sesame Street...oh wait, the Republicans took that away too. If you are not Christian: yea, you guys are next in the line. Welcome to prayer in schools..what kind of prayers? Well, not your kind. Christian kind...and you know, maybe Jewish kind cause they keep our military hardware near to the Middle East where our oil interests are. I could go on, but typing out the hate and fear these guys generate is making me sick...

Have people lost faith in the great savior that's done so much good for this country? Why would his supporters seem less energized? Is there a problem? This is going to be fun!

I have recently started looking online checking out property in the Turks & Caicos! [:D] The recession has made that more doable, actually.. [:)]
