Yes it is. The number of lousy elections in the primaries are a harbinger of things to come.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and this year, we need enough sunlight to cause melanoma.

i am most worried about fall elections being legal and the trickery of the Rep party to cheat the vote. Last nite Rachel Maddow broke the story of Ron Paul legally picking up the delegates of causus states by hand – which he now has for states like IA , MN, etc. I also heard that i believe its detroit wwhere voting right hace been taken away on a huge poor pop in the takeover- supposedly legally- they can take away their rote to vot because of take over. and Gov Walker is using housing settlement money to balance his state books. How can these things be stopped to prevent unfair ballots and unrecorded democratic votes in the Fall? This is serius when they play with the voting

Comment on Campaign Manager: Obama Re-Election Bid ‘Can’t Afford’ Not To Back Super PAC by Brooke

I feel that its only right to even the playing field. If Obama does not have the proper founding to run a seccessful campaign then why line up for the race. Honestly, I feel that the republican party would love nothing more than to sit back and watch the wealthy and morally currupt mega businesses run this election. Some say the man with the money makes the rules, so Im more than sure there’s a personal investment that some of the republican party donators are hoping to cash in on if Romney is ever elected. I also feel it says alot when the people of america dig deep into their already empty pockets to offer a donation to Obama’s campaign. Some people may feel that he is a hypocrite, but I feel he is doing what must be done to have a far shot at winning the election of 2012.

If enough people drop out of the labor force, I guess the unemployment rate has to go up. Too bad the number of people unemployed as a percentage of our population continues to go down under this current administration- I can only hope that a change will hopefully improve something- it has to!

Comment on Pollster: SOTU Provides ‘Powerful Framework For Having an Election’ by doug

Here is my take on the republican party and their candidates. It looks now like a two horse race. Newt and Mitt leading the pack with Ron Paul and Rick Santorum bringing up the rear.

Ron Paul if he looked like Ronald Reagan would be a shoe in but he looks like an old guy and image is and spin is everything especially in American Politics. Rick Santorum is a nice guy, but honestly I would rather vote for his wife. She is amazing, educated, quick wit, strong willed and attractive. When you put her next to Rick it is no comparison who is the better candidate. Unfortunately she is not running and he is.
Now the two front runners Mitt and Newt. On the names alone I would not vote for them. Newt has far to much baggage and his mouth will get him in trouble. Mitt looks like the college student who drives the BMW and belongs to all the right fraternities. Mitt even when he wears jeans looks far to separated from the normal 9 to 5 labor guy.
Mitt looks like a G.Q. model and not a presidential candidate. The other thing that will hurt him is his Mormon faith. He has a bias towards homosexuals and he is against Gay Marriage. He says he can separate his belief system from his politics but I don’t think the American public is buying it. He will have a problem with the evangelical community because Mormonism is seen as a cult by so many in mainstream America.

So what is the outcome? Obama gets a second term not because he deserves it or because he has done such a great job. He will get reelected because their is no horse in the republican party that can run the race. When Obama gets the charisma machine going and his social media campaign in full gear he will out image and out spin his opponents.

One more thing, there will be more money spent on this years campaigns than most small countries have in their national budget. It will also feature more attack ads and it will be the dirtiest election ever. The gloves will come off and it will be no holds barred. This election should be broadcast on the World Wrestling Channel or the soap box channel. You cannot have a better reality t.v. show than what you will have during this upcoming election.
It is disgusting what is spent to influence the masses. It is a system that is so flawed that anyone thinking they would like to enter into politics has to think long and hard about entering into something that is so damaged.
So get ready the games are just starting and the main event is coming our way in a few short months and who knows what craziness is to come our way…but come our way it will. Happy voting!
So what do you think.com
