Think liberal sites were not excited and happy to see Obama nominated? If not...well...not much I can tell you.

If you do...well why are we not seeing what efw asked.

Who do you think Romney is going to select for VP?

I say go ahead.

While I do not cling to any fantasy of an RP nomination...I agree with the sentiment of your post. If Rinomney is the best the R's can do...the R's need replaced!

Argue that thought...Bob and Steve...seriously...no...seriously.
First) Thanks for operating in reality land. Secondly, what would be your suggestion? Recreate the Republican party or start anew with a third team? One has infinitely more and infinitely longer, collateral damage. Or something else?

Better be someone more exciting than Palin...and I liked Palin.

But keep placing your dreams on the VP pick...bet it works out...

Dude re-read the post slowly. I did not suggest that a lack of threads supported the fantasy of Romney not being nominated. I simply pointed out that no one cares because he is a Liberal.

Even those who support his nomination like Steve & Bob are stuck arguing against a guy they say never was a threat to begin with, rather than saying anything FOR their guy.

Talk about a re-run of 4 yrs ago...

Well if it wasn't for the SCOTUS I would say best option is to lose and hope things get really bad the next 4 years...

2nd thought...that just might make the repukes pick someone even more liberal...like they did with Rinomeny vs McLame

Guess we had best just hope Rinomney wins and things really go to hell so that the R party is done with and a new Libertarian party with a slight Conservative bent springs forth...

Ok best option...grab your guns

There are two sides to every coin. First, no, there were a LOT of unhappy Hillary supporters. Secondly, what's more important HERE? A pro-Romney thread or an anti Obama thread? You honestly think a lack of pro Romney threads on a generally conservative site, inundated with anti-Obama threads indicates a lack of voter turnout? Half of the sum total of 10 people here that won't vote for Romney because they just can't likely live in states that are locked for Team R anyway. The other 5 are insonsequential out of thousands. This will truly be an election of who hates the other guy more. I still think Obama is going to win, but it won't be because Romney is the nominee. If Romney pulls off the miracle, it also won't be because he is the nominee. This election is 100% Obama's to lose.

lolol,...I guess you think it's going to be either Ron or Rand Paul,..eh?

Are you really obtuse enough to think that either of the Pauls would agree to be the veep of an establishment President that's being financed by Goldman Sachs?

Are you?

Because of your 'first thought' I didn't vote for McCain 4 years. Likewise because of your first thought, no way I won't vote for Romney this go around. If it's going in the toilet in the next 4 or 8 years, I'd just as soon not have an R at the healm as you are then talking about two generations of political damage. No Libertarian party will rise from those ashes. We just joke about Communist/Socialism now. I doubt we'd be joking then.

Of course I don't think Romney is going to select one of the Pauls. Not even a remote possibilty. Are you being serious?

Nevermind...must have been the fantasy discussion on a Paul blog somewhere.

The fantasy is that you think it matters...

Obama picked Biden...

McCain picked Palin...

You think who Rinomney picks is going to bring a landlide for your boy? Talk about fantasy...


Hold on...maybe he picks West...and something terrible happens to Rinomey...you are sneaky Bob...hadn't thought of that

My point is, if the wheels really do come off the cart, (and no, a little math suggests it's not the hysterical rantings of the tin foil crowd, there are mutliple all too plausible scenarios that unfortunately get us there) THEN I'm saying the rise of actual Socialism/Communism (perhaps marketed better) to the predominate party is much much more likely than the slow decline we watch today.
Pessimistic? Perhaps. Measuring our 'progress' over the last 20 or so years isn't give me a lot to be too optimistic about. It's the whole boiling the frog slowly thing. We just have no clue how hot the water is already.

Do you actually believe you asked a serious question? I'll bash idiots freely and without reservation,especially those stuck in the past and who disrupt reality with their chickish,whiney-assed moaning.

Rand must be pulling his hair out trying to figure out a way to rid himself of 50% of his father's supporters.
