Amid Depressing Field of LOUSY Candidates, Repubs Beg FATSO To Run

[Soul Crusher]

Right, not disagreeing with that, I'm just saying 3.5 is a lot compared to 1.3 (the historical swing) and both are within typical poll margins of error.  Not sure why either side is trying to paint this election out like it's a done deal.

Not sure where you're getting "3.5" from either; this isn't a popular vote.

obama is getting destroyed in the swing states and we are likely to have the 2000 Electoral college map this time.

In 2008 - Obama had every possible advantage going, none of which he has now.     

[Hulkotron]

A shift of 3.5% is also pretty big.  I assume you mean 3.5% of the 2008 popular vote goes away from Obama and towards whoever runs for the GOP.  A shift that size would reverse or deadlock the popular vote results in five of the last six elections.

Or people stay home that voted for him last time.

N.J. Gov. Chris Christie can't douse buzz over possible presidential bid
Michael Finnegan | McClatchy-Tribune News Service

LOS ANGELES — With speculation swirling anew about whether he intends to join the field of Republican presidential candidates, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie referred a crowd in California on Tuesday to a string of his previous comments on the matter, strung together in a Web video.

The video, on the Politico website, represented his "answers back to back to back together on the question of running for the presidency," he told hundreds of Republicans gathered at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley - several of whom asked him to run.

Among the responses on the video: "I'm 100 percent certain I'm not going to run," "I don't want to run" and "I don't feel ready in my heart to be president."

Despite the demurrals, the latest surge of Christie-mania - particularly among some party donors anxious for new options - has only raised Christie's national profile and enhanced his draw on the campaign money circuit. He's scooping up checks for the New Jersey Republican Party this week at events in Beverly Hills, Santa Ana, Silicon Valley, Missouri and Louisiana.

So it came as little surprise that Christie added another dash of fuel to the talk by taking a shot at Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a leading Republican contender for president.

Responding to a question from the audience, Christie said he opposed laws that allow the children of illegal immigrants to pay lower in-state tuition at public colleges. Perry, who has taken heat from rivals for approving such a law in Texas, has said critics of the policy have no heart.

"From my perspective, that is not a heartless position," Christie said. "That is a common-sense position."

In a half-hour speech paying tribute to Reagan, Christie also took swipes at President Barack Obama, saying the Democratic incumbent was trying to "divide our nation to achieve re-election."

"This is not a leadership style," Christie said, referring to the president's proposal to raise taxes on high-income earners. "This is a re-election strategy - telling those who are scared and struggling that the only way their lives can get better is to diminish the success of others ... insisting that we must tax and take and demonize those who have already achieved the American dream."

"That may turn out to be a good re-election strategy, Mr. President, but it is a demoralizing message for America," Christie said. The crowd burst into applause.

While saying Obama lacked "the courage to lead," Christie was more mild in his implied criticism of fellow Republicans who control the House of Representatives.

"We watch a Congress at war with itself because they're unwilling to leave campaign-style politics at the Capitol's door," he said. "The result is a debt ceiling limitation debate that made our democracy appear as if we could no longer effectively govern ourselves."

Rumors on Christie's potential presidential run were stoked earlier in the day in a National Review report that Thomas Kean, a former New Jersey governor, said Christie was giving a lot of thought to appeals "from major figures around the country."

"I think the odds are a lot better now than they were a couple weeks ago," Kean said.

During questioning, the subject of a run was raised by three people in the Reagan Library audience. One woman got a standing ovation after telling him, "I really implore you as a citizen of this country to please, sir, reconsider."

"Your country needs you," she said.

Christie joked that only "a crazy egomaniac" would see such appeals as a burden.

"It's extraordinarily flattering," he said. "But by the same token, that heartfelt message you gave me is also not a reason for me to do it. That reason has to reside inside me."

Like all libs, Repping20 and Benny knows the dems haven't a chance to run on actual issues or their records so what's left? Call the repubs names. LOL.

Regarding Obama, I never have seen a group of people so obsessed over him as Republicans have been for the past three years.  I have seen the Chain Mails, the Republican Blog sites, the Republican News sites and its nothing but Obama.

Why don`t they have anything positive to say about themselves?  Why don`t they laud any of their accomplishments (they don`t exist).

It is ridiculous. Perhaps I will just post the daily stream of Chain Mails I see just to demonstrate how absurd and obsessive it really has gotten.

Obama really owns their minds and a lot of it is for no reason as they either falsely attribute things that he simply did not do or they don`t understand what really is going on, or their very own party is directly responsible yet still, Obama somehow did it.

Its bordering on lunacy at this point.

The thing you don't understand is that fact Republicans don't have to say anything they are going to do or what they want to do because Obama has shot all of their plans down. Not wanting to compromise on the issues.

Now, they are just sitting back and watching the Obama train wreck as it happens. They don't need to help him anymore he is the master of his own demise.

Apparently you have a short memory. Try 2001 to 2009 and the Dems' obsession with Bush.

[Soul Crusher]

Obama is not going to be on the ticket at this rate.  Forbes Magazine blows many lids off the F&F scandal and obama will be lucky to avoid jail along with Holder.

Exactly.  I posted about this in another thread.  The GOP got all butt-hurt after 2008, giving us the deadlock we have today where nobody from either party can get anything done.

TA is 100% correct, Obama seriously owns your fragile, ignorant, sensitive-tit mind.  Just look at your post history, every single post (not an exaggeration; every post) is about him.  We do have a politics board but for some reason you come onto a bodybuilding forum of all places and shat out your banal, repetitive, party-line drivel on a daily, nay hourly, basis.  Regardless of what specific issue you are posting about, you engage in no interesting discussion, present no interesting or relevant arguments, and are almost universally considered a terrible poster and waste of Ron's bandwidth by Getbig dems, repubs, centrists, Dorian fans, and Ronnie fans alike.  I'm not even a registered democrat and I hope Obama wins in a landslide just to agitate genetic dead ends like you into a merciful suicide event.

[Soul Crusher]

I guess you guys forget that when Obama and the dems had full control of the govt for 2 years they did anything they wanted included the $1 Trillion Stim Bill, obamaCare, Dodd Frank, EPA regulating carbon, 27 commie czars, and pushed crazy law after crazy law, tried doing cap n trade, etc. 


The economy is drastically worse off as a result and you wonder why people are pissed off?

And how did they get the ability to cause this "deadlock" in the first place after getting "butt-hurt" in 2008, again?

THEY RETURNED THE FAVOR TO THE DEMS IN 2010!!!

See this sort of attitude is exactly the problem.  Your primary concern is with retrospectively assessing blame, not with fixing problems.  You view "The Dems" as the enemy, a large group of incompetent nincompoops who should be ostracized from society, their political philosophy rejected, and if given the choice would "fix things" by burning Obama posters in effigy and fully supplanting every last iota of their existence in American politics with a unitary conservative utopia.  Both parties are equally guilty of this divisive attitude.  The sooner it ends, the better off our political system will be.

Maybe that is hard to do when the POTUS is running out everyday calling everyone names and telling their they are basically traitors no? 

And please with the sanctimony. 


Obama today - TODAY - just approved of a 734 Million dollar loan guaranty to another solar company where Pelosi's relatives are involved.   and you wonder why normal people hate this asshole? 


And using TA as a barometer of the truth?  LMFAO!   His only gripe w bama is that he did not go far enough with the crazy shit that went on during the first two years.

Haha jesus christ dude do you even read what anyone posts or just blindly click quote whenever you see a new post and vomit out whatever vitriolic drivel Rush Limbaugh pulled out of one of his ass-rolls this afternoon?  I'm not even a democrat, I'm as moderate as they come.  I am criticizing YOU PERSONALLY, not talking politics.

It is really amazing how accurate my reflection of you and people like you is.  You really do see the terms "enemy", "opponent" and "Democrat" as synonymous.
