Raptor eye is definitely around, and he has not learned anything from the roasted crow casserole. I wonder if that this the common quality of the far right posters. They avoid introspection like the plague. They claim to be "road scholars," but refuse to learn from experience. Striking to see someone of such striking arrogance and cluelessness. I guess those two go together more than you'd expect.

It has to be. The most intelligent person I know is my oldest brother, and he's a hardcore Republican.
The thing is, he's not a hardcore social conservative.
Barack Obama will undoubtedly get re-elected. The economy didn't recover overnight when he came into office, but he's already accomplished more in two years than Bush did in two terms. The Republicans haven't offered any solutions to fix the economy, either. Keep in mind Barack Obama will be the incumbent meaning he'll be harder to defeat than 2008. Don't be surprised if he wins by a landslide. I'm 80-percent sure this next election will be a runaway victory for the Democrats.
Also, the conservatives can't find anyone who measures up. Mike Huckabee already stated he probably won't run. That man has too many skeletons in his closet, furthermore. The guy is an right-wing evangelical Christian for one thing. Plus, he pardoned a guy who killed several people in Arkansas, and he has a son who was ousted as a Boy Scout leader for torturing puppies. Those alone are wild cards that will disqualify him from the race. Sarah Palin will be lucky if she even makes it to the primary. I'm sure she'll run to massage her Alaska-sized ego, too. Not even John McCain stood a chance playing his veteran card, so I'm positive the same is true about the other Republicans.
Barack Obama's ratings are now higher than that of either Clinton or Reagan around this time frame during their first terms. What you're also forgetting is there are more black voters than ever before. They'll probably pour into the polls more so than they did in 2008. Myriad Hispanic voters are disenchanted with the Republican Party as well. Not to mention recent college graduates like yours truly are disgusted over the way Republicans haven't done a damn thing about unemployment and even wanted to slash benefits for the 99ers. They're the ones that gave tax cuts to big businesses.

I'm hoping when Scott Walker gets recalled which I'm sure he will, our friends in Wisconsin will spark the catalyst towards something big. His being ousted will leave a bad headline for the Republicans and cost many of them their seats. I'm half-expecting the Democrats will regain control of both houses again after this whole debacle Bush got us into. Unless something terrible happens, I see no way he WILL NOT get re-elected end of story.
it's amazing how you could project it with such precision in early April 2011. wow.
an exception would be the Dems getting the house majority, yet even in spite of the gerrymandering they still gained seats there.

The only reason why they still have control of the House is because of all the gerrymandering. Don't be surprised if even more lose their seats in 2014 once Obamacare goes into effect full swing and women get the same healthcare as men for the same rates.
the numbers, or rather the percentage of homosexuals in itself are not likely to change that much in the past nor in the future. it's just that the views have changed. more and more people are realizing that there are homosexuals within their families, friends, neighbours, loved ones.
it's just not the same anymore when the homosexuals are your own daughters, sons, nieces, nephews, friends, instead of a bunch of büggers somewhere out there.

Well you'll find that usually when people are that arrogant, it's to compensate for something. They are indeed "road scholars" because they have to hit the road and drive away when things get hot and heavy unlike the Rhodes scholars who know their stuff.
You were intelligent enough to understand American politics all along.
I hope you, like me, are enjoying the post election schadenfreude!!!

Barack Obama will get re-elected in 2012.
