Romney is going to be so easy to beat it isn't even funny

[NNN0LHI]

Isn't he?

Whenever I see him on TV he reminds me of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. A hysterical Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde at that.

1. I heard that said about another republofuck........Reagan.

That was really "funny".

[snooper2]

4. you got a link for that?

[comipinko]

7. LOL.

[unblock]

24. the innertubes were a bit young in 1980....

but even republicans hated reagan and called him whackadoodle back in 1976.
a lot of them really resented his primary challenge against ford, and they thought he was WAY too right-wing.

reagan honed his message much better by 1980, but a lot of republicans still hated him and were afraid on him.
but as usual, dissenting republican voices fall silent or magically fall in line for the general campaign, and eventually reagan of course became an icon to the republican party, and those republicans who didn't like him became independents or democrats.

6. Reagan was supported by Republicans. Mittens is supported by about 1 in 4 Republicans.

[comipinko]

9. They'll fall in line, just as they did in 1980

The same arguments from inside the party were heard then.

[tridim]

14. So you think the fundy/teabaggers will support a Mormon?

[comipinko]

15. Seems so.

Thier hatred of the "black man" IS, indeed, that big.
And this is a case on point: I a comipinko, voted for, and will vote again for Obama. He is a long ways away from my ideal candidate.Republofucks are also prone to the "lesser of 2 evils" scenerio.

[tilsammans]

26. And I don't envision any "Romney Democrats"

But that said, he's still scary. And the thought of seeing him nonstop on TV for months makes me wanna

[SaintPete]

21. Romney has none of Reagan's Skills

Reagan was affable, grandfatherly, and could display an "Aw shucks" kind of humility (even if it wasn't sincere).

Romney has none of those qualities. None. No one likes the guy, not even his own team.

[MjolnirTime]

22. because all things are equal, right?

[tridim]

2. He'll be easy to beat, but I think it will be funny watching him try to win.

Or at least entertaining.

[onehandle]

3. I don't think it will be easy, but if the economy keeps improving, it will be easier.

I think electoral-wise, this election will look much like Bush v. Kerry, but dunno if Ohio will be the key for President Obama.

[bigtree]

5. I'm with the thinking

. . . .that it's hard to gauge the reaction of voters. We have a great deal of stuff against him, but the focus of voters might not get to as fine a point as we're trying to make in the President's defense. We have to be vigilant and persistent in our advocacy.

[NNN0LHI]

8. Well you've know me long enough to know I won't stop being vigilant and persistent in our advocacy

Haven't you?

I am ruthless when it comes to politics.

20. I should think most here know that by now.

Many a time Don I have been glad you are on our side. Keep on rockin'!

23. You can't imagine how good hearing that makes me feel

And promise I won't let up either. Just something about Republicans that get me fired up. Actually it is everything about them that I dislike. Not hate. Learned not to hate a long time ago. Hate got me nowhere. Just have an extreme dislike of them. Can't hardly explain it.

Now if one needed a blood transfusion I would be the first in line to give a donation. And if one was hungry I would feed them. But as far as liking to be around them? Nope, I don't like that. But if I am forced to be around them I don't just listen to their BS and stay quiet either. I will tell them just what I think about something. Whether they like it or not. Usually they don't like it.

Weird, huh?

10. We tend to see things

from the lens of the political junky. The mass of voters who come out on election day see it as a beauty contest, and Ken Doll has that appeal that will play on the basic psychology of the average totally uninformed voter.

[bowens43]

11. I disagree completely.

He has a chance of winning this thing. Most people I know who are not political junkies like us see him as a reasonable, intelligent, likable person, not the lunatic he actually is.

He is the only one of the bunch who has a shot at winning in 2012.

Don't underestimate him.

[NNN0LHI]

12. The Obama campaign hasn't laid a glove on him yet

And they are preparing to lay some big huge ass Everlasts on him real soon.

[uponit7771]

27. ...don't see too many people who "like" Romney, just tolerate him

[bluerum]

13. He was elected gonorner in MA. Granted, his opponent was a hack,

but expect him to start pandering to undecided dems anytime now.

[Bake]

16. Has anyone EVER looked more uncomfortable in blue jeans and a flannel shirt?

I think not. Hey Willard, go put on your suit. It looks more normal on you.And everybody knows you're faking it, anyway.

Bake

[tallahasseedem]

17. No.

We have to fight like we're 10 points behind...always!!!

[great white snark]

18. Maybe..but in the mean time take nothing for granted.

I'm not referring to you NNN0LHI, just to Dems in general.

Four more years!

[ieoeja]

19. Agreed. Most of the crazies will drop out after South Carolina. Last one will easily beat Romney.

Then Obama gets to beat the crazy.

[33Greeper]

25. Romney is of the and for the

1%.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. I thought the same about George Bush the Lesser.

Never underestimate your adversary. Mittens is weird, stiff and slippery, and many GOPers don't like him, but he has the money and the machinery. We have to work hard to be sure he doesn't succeed.
