Why wouldn't President Obama be reelected? Bachmann, Romney, Perry, Huckabee, Palin, Palenty, Huntsman, Gingrich, Paul, Santorum, Cain, McCotter (who?), Roemner, Bolton and Daniels are all very good reasons to vote for President Obama.
Most of these wannabees have a thing or two in common, and that one thing is not an idea, a vision or a plan. It is an ambition to be "The Man" or "The Woman" and the willingness to arrouse the emotions, passions and prejudices of the voters to earn the power and popoularity necessary to get the GOP nomination. They are for the most part empty suits (pants or vested).
GOPers have no idea who they want to be their nominee, most pick none of the above in polls. And even some of thsoe named don't seem to want the nomination, they like Trump are simply promoting themselves - or their underlings are - for greater name recognition and some face time in the national media.
You are correct.
Not one of those canddiates stood up during the debt ceiling debate with an idea....other than Bachmann...
Not that I am saying Bachmann is the woman for the job (have not yet put any thought into it)....but the others? Spineless wannabees afraid to be criticized.
This election is for the GOP to win...not for Obama to lose....and the GOP better dam well stop playing politics and start coming up with ideas.
My opinion.....Obama and his lack of leadership (in my eyes) has opened the door for the GOP to win.
Now the GOP needs to capitalize on it...or we will have 4 more years of passing the buck backwards and little to no progress.
I respectfully disagree. Why should anyone stick their noses into a situation where Obama is self destructing on his own? If your adversary is imploding let him, don't get intertwined in his debacle. Besides do you actually believe Obama would actually allow a bill to become law that came from one of his possible competitors? Obama was shooting himself in the foot, no sensible reason to join him.
I do not believe in political games.
I would have liked to have heard how the cndidates would have dealt with the issue...SO I CAN MAKE AN EDUCASTED DECISION at election time.
They were too wrapped up in "not looking bad" or "not helping the President"...
And to me? Thats childish.
