I would imagine that before any decisions are made about who to support, we will all have to see who is actually running.

I will say that I am always hopeful we'll get an administration and a Congress who will work together rather than adopt a policy of obstruction and partisanship. The whole hatred thing is getting old. And the idea that people who disagree with you must be stupid, that's getting beyond old. Guess what, every person has their own perspective, no one agrees with you 100%. And every person votes according to their own perspective and personal interests. If you want to convince them that the candidate you favor is best for them, don't insult that other person, offer up persuasive convincing reasons why the candidates is best.

The American electorate does not live inside the same right-wing echo chamber you do. Unlike the frothing nabobs at Free Republic or WND, they can tell the difference between a real scandal and an Issa witch hunt; between a recovering economy and an imploding one; between starting unpopular and unnecessary wars and ending them; between pragmatic collaboration and unreasoned obstructionism. They will make their decisions based on what their experience tells them... not what Mitch McConnel does.

The greatest weakness of the current American right is their inability to learn from their own mistakes.

Keep clicking those heels. There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home.

It works in the movies.
Please answer the questions, not give us your diarrhea of the mouth.

McCain and Romney were Neo Cons..not "far right wing".

We have a welfare food stamp president instead of a job maker. Nothing like taking away someones self esteem and giving them free bees till they lose their self respect and look for more freebees instead of a job.

Remember 2012? Secession threats, whining, crying, etc? Yeah, that's gonna happen again most likely. And Republicans like the OP will be so surprised they lost, as he and others continue to alienate more and more voters.

Keep it crazy, GOP.

Diarrhea of the mouth? Yup, keep it up. You've lost 2 elections in a row with stuff like that and you're probably going to lose another.

Any Democrat is going to dominate the black vote. Obama had nothing to do with it. Kerry had 88%. Gore had 90%.

we lost two elections because of two weak candidates, a nation of low information voters, and a media that is openly in support of the Democratic party, also how do you compete with the idea of "free money"?
