How can Republicans feel confident in beating Obama in 2012?

Do they not know they don't have a viable candidate?



Do they not remember 2008, and how well Obama campaigned and debated?



Right now Obama is hovering between 45 and 50% support, with another 5% or more as on the fence. He needs 48-49% of the vote. Doesn't seem too hard right now, especially since Republicans aren't exactly on fire right now either.How can Republicans feel confident in beating Obama in 2012?The Republicans need to keep in mind that 2012 isn't a sure thing for them. As a matter of fact, they are going to have to work harder. The big issue is that the 2010 and the 2012 elections are not about what party a candidate is pushing, it's about the person. The American people (those who care about our country) will be looking at each person individually and studying their agenda, voting history, platform and values. I think we'll see Democrats voting for Republicans and Republicans voting for Democrats. It's going to be about truth, values, morals and the rights of the people.



I just hope that elections are not bought by union leaders and others like them.|||America as it is known by people over the age of 45 will not make it to 2012 under this present administration. America has changed, and is a country that's "Matter" is whirling around in a osterizer. No one knows what it will look like in one year let alone 2 after the power is turned off.How can Republicans feel confident in beating Obama in 2012?Because all they have to do is say "we're not him" and they'll win. There is so much anti-Obama, anti-liberal sentiment in the country right now and it will only grow until 2012, that anyone could beat this menace.



Even McCain would beat him now.|||They have no chance.



There is no one on the Republican side as articulate as President Obama on the stump, and the Republican policies have failed time and time again. We need clean energy.How can Republicans feel confident in beating Obama in 2012?Yes, people take a forked tongue over brutal honesty. Doing the right thing is not always popular.|||They don't really know and neither do I. I'll just wait till the time comes.|||Obama while he means well has surrounded himself with anti-establishment peopel who want to flip government and economical management on its ear. By 2012 the problems will exacerbate mightly allowing republicans to win the presidency in a landslide... lets take a look



On the economy Obama thinks the stimulus will help but it won't help. In 1933 the government stimulized with jobs like the Hoover dam however those workers got jobs at american factories when their Hoover dam jobs ended cuz their pay at the dam kick started those jobs.. and people bought goods from each others factories providing more and more jobs in a self sustaining feedback loop. Obamas Stimulus fails to recognize that after his stimulus is over and people spend the money they earned..it all provides jobs at chineese factories americans will once agin be unemployed...unless yhe govt provided stimulus again and again..Obama is operating on the false belief that he can stimulize the economy without private sector jobs. So we Will have a double dip

house prices cant fall to levels that people can afford till the govt stops offering the credit..better to let home prices crash to the level american wages suport then thy can rise again...private secotor job wages hav been ravaged by free trade...and do not suport these house prices

The gap between a govt worker and private sector pay and bennies is HUGE...and citties accross the land install redlight cameras and speed cameras as a tax



the govt takes in 1.7-1.9 trillion and spends 3.7--4 trillion



interest on the debt is 600 billion--obama is doubling the debt to 20+T interest on the debt will be 1.2 T leaving only 500 billion for a 3 or 4T budget....as debt goes to 30T now u cant pay 1.8T interest on debt with 1.7T. u have to print money--or TAX--u have to..the other solution is JOBs more people working more tax income..but to be frank u cant make up 3Trillion to run your govt without say a VAT tax which would destroy auto sales (imagine a 22% tax on 30k) and every other big ticket item.



there is a video online from 1994 charlie rose and Sir James goldsmith...where goldsmith predicts everything that has happend because of free trade.. Google sir james goldsmith and charlie rose 1994 ad it will come right up i challeneg u to watch the 1st 8 minutes...it is EPIC...



economicaly Obama has failed 100%



Foriegn policy...well he went to bring the Chicago olympics and he got voted out in the first round... his rosy" im everyones friend" view was hammered at that point and shows that the rest of the world is out for themselves and want to limit and control the power of the US through organizations like the WTO and UN, those orgs are ok but the president must act in our self interest first...he is THE UNITED STATES leader not the worlds.



Canceling the F-22 fighter and B-1 bomber, while seriously costly, is a huge blow to american prestige...there is something about showing up to a job interview in a suit rather than a T shirt. China is feverishly working on 5th generation fighters...while we stop producing ours...I agree its expensive..but can we afford to fall behind? what are the cosequences of that?



Along with this is the canceling of the shuttle program without replacement...and having to grovel to the Russians for a ride to the space station..does anyone esle see what wrong with this? what would JFK say? The United States bumming rides from Russians? Its a little ludicris and an admission of defeat by this administration...while at the same time China is planning on going to the moon.



So within 10-20 yrs the country is facing total collapse...if honestly it hasnt already



Obama has a untopian view but as a president he means well but has failed at every level..he is the worst president ever presiding over running debt to 20T + and NOT making connections between what was in 1933 and what is NOW..all old models of economics DO not apply in this age of glabalism. His advisors clearly do not understand this because they are stuck on redistribution of wealth and think everythign they do is for the good of the majority...without realy studying or understanding the consequences.



il get alot of thumbs downs from liberals...but not I am anti free trade anti tax pro balanced budget. no party realy represents me.



affordable healthcare? yet is it?..could it be that through providing affordable healthcare it becomes unaffordable ? when the cost becomes so high u have to print money or tax more.. there may even be a collapse under the costs as we see europe and saw the auto companies collapse from healthcare costs...So by passing a law for healthcare that seems great.. in the end you lose it beacuse of costs. the math does NOT add up..jobs and manufacturing are gone..the only way to pay for govt in the future is a VAT tax..and thats scary.

U wont find one suporter of obama talking about costs of anything or doing math or lookingn at interest on the debt...thats a good place to start....have they looked at what 20T as Obama projects..what that means? or will this money magicaly pop up..what r the effects of printing money..of borrowing from China? Inflation could wipe out savings of our seniors...as in the carter administration only this time 20-30% inflation a year....its already coming...and im sad to see all these college students so stuck on Obama that they fail to realize the consequences of being 30T(the tipping point) in debt...It will ravage this country..not 50 yrs from now BUt now ---and going forward getting worse... inevitably the biggest suporters of obamas spending will feel betrayed and will face the heaviest consquences from it...and the suffering will be greater than any of them can imagine..



again by 2012 these problems will magnify..Obama wil be thrown out of office in a landslide.
