October Surprise? The Real Obama?

[BonMallari]

I think that most of the people know that Obama is racist and a socialist.(marxist) But, after 8 years of Bush the Repubs lost a lot of credibility and the majority wanted anyone but another GOP President.Agree That and the Repubs are a very small minority with their social ideas.very debateable, statistics would prove otherwise I also think that there is information in his school recordes that would sink his bid for reelection and am surprised that Romney didn't ask for that to be released when he released his 2010 tax return. Dont be too sure that wont be a comeback if BHO brings the income tax returns topic out during the debates,notice how the rhetoric has died down about his income tax returns , they got the traction they wanted out of it, had nothing to do with the returns itself, they just wanted to portray Romney as a shady figure with something to hide..

On the surface, Obama looks like the guy that can get the job done because most voters are passive when it comes to politics. 99% of Americans pay zero attention to Fox News or Rush Limbaugh. (the ratings would prove you wrong on that) Add that the Repubs have done a poor job of reconnecting with America hanging onto a Draconian political platform. only to you, if anything the Repubs have seemed to have drifted to a more moderate stance from what was their core principles, IMO its one of the things that has gotten them into trouble, if they had stayed with Reaganesque type principles instead of going with the moderates like GWB-McCain then they would show a greater contrast to the D's I don't think it will be pretty come November 6th. I really hope I am wrong!

my responses in purple....and if your political predictions are anything like your sports predictions then you probably are wrong

Actually, I used the ratings data that is reported in the trades. Fox News may be #1 for cable news but compared to Jersey Shore or American Idol, those numbers are a drop in the bucket. Even Duck Dynasty drew more viewers on Wednesday nights than O'Reilly and Hannity combined

The GOP Platform ahs not changed that much from the Raegan era till now. Only the types of candidates the Repubs have put up has changed. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that Conservative/Republican are now broken brands in the minds of most. As Conservative has shifed more to the right, along with the party, today the term Conservative has become a liablity except to the hardcore mostly white older generation. I don't think the Republicans can repair the brand. Not until they get into the 21st Century with their platform and ideas.

well duh,I would rather watch Korie Robertson than listen to Hannity and and the self serving O'Reilly

and I would agree there is a LARGE fracture between Repub- Conservative...I dont see Conservative as a liability, I think its where many would like to see their party return but they dont have the nutz to pull it off

theres more http://www.dailycaller.com/ in 2002 Obama gave a speech saying the wealthy embrace non violence because they want to make sure folks don't take their stuff this is class warfare at its best.

Based on your track record from the primaries and football the last two years, I'm certain you will be wrong.

Why didn't you nominate one of them....might have had a chance

Probably the same reason you didn'tvote for Bill Clinton. If so would that make you a racist. Based on your logic it would. I wonder if you can understand that.

We saw the real Obama tonight

report by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) finds that the across-the-board cuts set to go into effect January 2 could result in a loss of over 78,000 education jobs. These cuts will also reduce education program funding dramatically, impacting essential services to over nine million students. Obama didnt help the last 4 yrs what will he do about this NOW.
