Imawhosure Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Great, what could go wrong? Absolutely nothing if you let American/Canadian ingenuity do its thing, but if you continue down this road, you will end up with any kind of energy so high, we will all be spending everything to heat/cool our homes, and drive our cars. That doesn't bode well for the economy as a whole, just for a vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmccap Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Interesting Fact: Warren Harding went into the brokered 1920 convention with only 6% of the delegates, but emerged as the party’s nominee. Harding won the general election in a landslide and took a very non-interventionist approach to the Depression of 1921. GOOD NEWS FOR RON PAULMOST polls we read are of REPUBLICAN voters only. The current Gallup poll of ONLY Republican voters reads: Romney 41% Santorum 25% Paul 15% Gingrich 7% QUITE a difference when the voter spectrum is complete. Here's the latest Gallup poll including INDEPENDENTS and DEMs: Paul 35% Romney 28% Santorum 20% Gingrich 4% undecided 13% RON PAUL IS AHEAD IN A POLL OF THE ENTIRE VOTER SPECTRUM - LEADING AMONG ALL U.S. VOTERS. THIS POINTS TO VICTORY IN NOVEMBER- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying it was, I am asking if it was, because no such thing is going to happen this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying it was, I am asking if it was, because no such thing is going to happen this time around. Things were different back then but here is a little info. Brokered convention The last winning U.S. presidential nominee produced by a brokered convention was Franklin D. Roosevelt, in 1932. I wouldn't say that much yet. They say Romney has to take 75% of the delegates to get it outright. There is also the FACT that DRP has been getting a majority in the caucus states where they are not bound in the first vote, which truthfully means Romney has less than reported by the MSM.

I will be honest with you, I don't know the math for Romney. I do know that Santorum needs somewhere around 80% of the remaining delegates to get the nod, but that is according to the talking heads on the news, and who knows if they are being accurate on any of the counts. I am certain that no matter who the nominee is, this is going to be the most devisive general election in post WWII history. Obama can't run on anything in his record, so he is going to attack any idea the GOP nominee has including if they ever make public what kind of toilet paper they use. I seriously don't see how Obama can win this election as long as the electoral college is still the method used to choose the President. The polls at this time mean little at this point because you have Obama and all the democrats attacking GOP ideas almost without reprisal as the GOP is still working for a nominee. Once that happens and all their dollars are pointed at Obama speaking in unison, he will be a sitting duck. And for our friends on the left, we should remember Bill Clinton. Everyone laughed, do we remember? A nobody governor from Arkansas. And what about Obama? A lecturer/community organizer. People wanted CHANGE both times, and they got it. 1 for the good, and 1 that has been terrible. With over 70% of the the people saying the country is going in the wrong direction, wouldn't you take that to mean they want change again? There is absolutely, positively no doubt that at this point in time, it is the GOPs race to lose, not Obamas to win!

fmccap Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Politics and Elections The numbers continue to favor President Obama here at Election Projection. The latest 2012 presidential election projections give Obama a commanding 126-vote lead in the all-important electoral vote tally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imawhosure Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It is April, not to worry. If you see those numbers in September, then it is a different story. With all the screw ups Obama did in the last 2 weeks, you will see the numbers come much closer together which will probably make everyone feel better, and I expect more of the same to follow.

RangerM Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 It's not "all about beating Obama" for the sake of beating Obama. It's about getting the country on a path to prosperity for all. That is not saying the Romney is the best person to do this. But I know Obama isn't. So long as the government is at a standstill, and most anything Obama presents to the Congress is voted down with bipartisan majorities (some of them voted down by 100% majority), then maybe he's right where he needs to be; ineffective and inconsequential.

Imawhosure Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) lol Daddy, the question isn't if Romney could buy his nomination from the GOP; the real question is if Obama using 1 billion dollars can again buy the Presidency. If he and his minions keep shooting themselves in the foot over Romneys wife, I am thinking it might take 2 billion, lol! Get out your wallet, Obama needs another cash infusion-) War on women? Your guys are so pathetic it is almost funny. I hear your fearless leader is paying his women less in the whitehouse then the men. I am gonna have to watch my political shows Sunday morning to watch the mighty liberals spin on this, but I am sure come Monday morning, this tidbit will begin the start of the candidates numbers coming much closer together. Poor Ann Romney--------->A cancer survivor, and has survived MS. Your guys really know who to pick on, now don't they!

Mark B. Morrow Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Colorado further evidence Ron Paul will challenge Romney in Tampa Still tilting at windmills Don Quixote. The deal is done. It will be Romney. Paul never had a chance. The rules require a candidate to win 5 Primary/Caucus ballots just to be considered on a 1st ballot at the convention. I don't see 5 contests Paul can win from here on out. He won't go independent for the sake of his son's political career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this continues on and things get better for all of us instead of the lesser of the two evils. He has strong grassroots(state and local level) support that hopefully starts to change things.

I really do not know the rules, but if you think the GOP is going to take someone who is close, or in the lead out of the race with Obama, then you aren't thinking about removing our problem, you are just creating another problem for us to deal with. DRP chose to run as a republican. As such.......for both him and his son, he knows what that means. It is very clear to me that his total intention is to remove Obama from office before it is to late. He has made it clear that another 4 years of Obama will virtually sink us. Therefore----------->if he decides to run as an independent, that will almost cinch an Obama victory, which means he lied because allowing Obama another 4 years was not as important as he said. I am not calling him a liar, all I am saying is------>if he runs as an independent, then he is calling himself a liar, and no more than a typical power grabbing politician who will say anything to get his people to stick with him. He knows EXACTLY who it would put in the Whitehouse, and it won't be him. Edited April 19, 2012 by Imawhosure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't mean on here, I mean in real life. I talk to, do business, with multiple people including having things done personally. I purposely bring up politics while being non commital so they will speak freely, and I have never had 1 of them bring up DRP. It is always Obama, Gingrich, Santorum, or Romney. In the last week, it is all Obama and Romney discussion. I like XR commend you on your loyalty, but if you really believe what you keep posting, I fear you are going to be sorely disappointed after the conventions.

The other problem is people need to educate them selves and stop blindly following 1 party no matter what. I believe you said you voted for Obama but now have second thoughts about it. There are many that did and still hold him up as there hero(I believe we have a few here). I felt a need to throw this in....
