Rick Perry will be next President

Oh look it up..

OPEC oil has been cheaper than US, Canadian or Northsea Crude EVERY day since 1945.

That's the most basic knowledge of the oil business.

 

I suppose you mean self-regulation? Because Reps/cons have always been against government regulations. And we know businesses regulate themselves so well!

Really? You need to tell that to the many Republicans that got incensed when Ryan and some other crazy Republicans in Congress have suggested cutting Medicare.

 

If that is true we should get all oil from them. The truth is Opec controls world market through production when the want

 

I did...it's not...at least not lately...

You mean when Obama proposed cutting medicare

 

Romney will never be President. Most people would take issue with his being a Mormon if he was nominated. Pawlenty MAY have a chance.

 

I'm not so sure about that when you factor in the cost of keeping a military presence around OPEC countries, not to mention the wars we've had over there. Then there's the people in those countries that we've alienated by supporting dictators to keep the oil flowing, starting with the Shah of Iran.

 

Like I said, I have no doubt that is your view.

1. It's obvious you're so programmed by FOX, I could name ten of your views on a variety of political issues right now - something you can't do with me because I tihink for myself. So it's not like it would be surprising that you would see things the way you do and make the statements you make.
2. I've actually started a thread entitled "How the GOP could slaughter Obama" which is the difference between us. I can see things objectively. Which means I can also see how Obama could win but obviously, with over a year to go, there are a lot of variables - the biggest is who the GOP goes with. If it's Whackmann, welcome to Obama's second term. If it's Perry, he's got some major challenges. I think Romney would be most likely to beat Obama. I like Ron Paul the best but I don't think he has a chance.

So no, I am not so foolish as to think anyone has a "walk" with a year to go.

 

No you deny the power of the conservatives and the tea party.

What started in 2010 will continue.

Obama Had Hoffa and Biden try to rally unions and scare the GOP it just shows they are petty and have nothing to run on

 

By all means, let's replace Carter 2.0 with Bush 3.0. It's Paul or revolution. The status quo dies 2012.

 

Again, your complete lack of objectivity or ability to think beyond what Glenn has told you is showing.
Again, the difference between us is that I have acknowledged the power of Conservatives you claim I deny. I have already stated several times, in numerous threads that the Conservatives may very well continue to dominate the elections in 2012.
But you don't have the ability to acknolwdge differing viewpoints - in this case, that if they make a mistake (like nominating Whackmann), they may very well blow it. The only views your dichotomous mind can deal with, are those that agree with you 100% in every way.
You would be more interesting to debate with, if you were able to think for yourself. If you weren't so completely owned by the RW media, I might not already know what you were going to say in advance, on virtually any subject.

 

I do not listen to Beck or Hannity.

You have yet to tell me what Obama can run on. All I see is the hate speech against the tea party. That will not win any votes

 

I am voting Ron Paul, I do not c it as a wasted vote! If obama gets a 2nd term America will deserve all it gets! I tend to think it is a two=way race btw Ron Paul and Bachmann with Newt as an excellent VP who knows Congress. Perry's job creation in the private sector is in question. The Tea Partists and Independents have much in common, and Bachmann and Paul represent them both. I trust Paul more than Bachmann because of her stance of the UNFUNDED WARS. The conservatives better get their act together or they may become a people of the past.

 

It doesn't surprise me that Reps/cons try to spin it and try to make it seem like Obama was the one wanting to cut Medicare. Either they are deceptive or they really are ignorant to the truth, because they get their information from Faux News. Either way, it's not a very positive sign.

House Republicans have approved a fiscal 2012 budget crafted by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that would essentially turn Medicare into a voucher program for people who are now 55 or younger. Instead of government-run Medicare, the GOP budget would have seniors buy private insurance plans, with the government subsidizing a portion of the bill.
Congressional Democrats and the White House are attacking the budget, which Ryan predicted would be used as a political weapon against his party.

President Obama has said the Ryan plan would “end Medicare as we know it,” and Democratic campaign committees have used the two-week recess to play up confrontations at GOP town-hall events over Medicare.

You are a little behind in your news source - Pawlenty doesn't have a chance because he dropped out of the race, like back in August!

 

Run-off voting! Yes, I very much agree. I think this would solve a lot of problems in the American political process.

I think we could get five, maybe even seven parties, realistically. But at least three, which would be much better than two.

 

Another one that is behind on the news. The Tea Party has jumped the shark -the only ones that support it are the right-wing extremists and they are in the minority. Most sensible Americans did not like how the GOP handled the debt ceiling issue and put the country at risk.

And it's about time that Obama quit being Mr. Niceguy and start showing the country what type of thugs the Republicans in Congress really are.

But in fact the Tea Party is increasingly swimming against the tide of public opinion: among most Americans, even before the furor over the debt limit, its brand was becoming toxic. To embrace the Tea Party carries great political risk for Republicans, but perhaps not for the reason you might think.

Polls show that disapproval of the Tea Party is climbing. In April 2010, a New York Times/CBS News survey found that 18 percent of Americans had an unfavorable opinion of it, 21 percent had a favorable opinion and 46 percent had not heard enough. Now, 14 months later, Tea Party supporters have slipped to 20 percent, while their opponents have more than doubled, to 40 percent.

I think it's funny that people are disapproving of them in higher and higher numbers, yet we keep seeing the Republicans try to pander to them, which will be happening in the Republican debate tonight. It sounds like the Republicans may wish they hadn't courted this seemingly amazing mistress that could come back to bite them, especially if Rick Perry wins the nomination!

 

Rick Perry will be our next president.

 

The question isn't whether you like Ron Paul better than Bachman but do you like Obama better than Perry? Because if you vote for Ron Paul it is Obama that will win and Perry that will lose because of it.

 

You are very correct, Slyhunter.

Why is this so difficult for the people who support Ron Paul to figure out?

 

The Republicans will lose.. and in 2016, they will run Huntsman... and win.

 

Looked like Romney ate Perry's lunch tonight. Don't get me wrong, I'll vote for whomever the Repubs nominate, but I've been a Romney man from the get go. The intelligence factor certainly favors Romney over Perry, and his business acumen is also superior to that of Perry as well. And wasn't Newt wonderful as he straightened out the hosts again by getting the show back on track? There is nothing obama can say tomorry that can possibly give him a boost in his pitiful ratings, and nothing at all that will please the American people to get employment on the march again. We all know that obummer will be offering another trillion dollar porkulus plan.

 

The only way Huntsman will get the nomination is if he officially joins the Democratic party.

 

LOL...you got that right. That Huntsman seems to be a dem plant on stage. Dems couldn't ask for a more wishy washy liberal-minded--at best RINO then that turkey. He's about as anti Tea Party as it gets, so my suggestion would be for him to join the dem party and run on the obummer ticket by canning biden.
