1 Intrade shares of Romney to be elected president up 7%...today.

2 Be ready for the all conservatives are racist meme.

3 OpenBlogger!

4 I'm  beginning  to  think  the  same  thing.  * sigh* 

5 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable tyrant.

6 April 2010, that was the census, right?

7
Ghân-buri-Ghân.

Sounds a lot like macaca.

Watch yer step there buster.

8 Romney is now inside Obama and Axelrod's OODA loop.

9 I have this feeling that the election is going to be a total blowout. In our favor.

10 “In the 1930s, when my parents got married, these were hard issues,’’ Warren said. “My father’s family so objected to my mother’s Native American heritage that my mother told me they had to elope.

I say Warren gets to stay on at Harvard

11 But a majority of the people (and it is not clear how this polling works) still like him.

12

Obama's permacampaign gives up the biggest advantage of a sitting president: doing the job while the other guy looks like a lowly politician.  Instead he's setting new records for $50,000 steak dinners. 

13 I am impressed with Romney's campaign. and I agree... Romney will win and win big.

14 The PMI data sucked as well, that doesn't bod well for the next 90 days, and we have a Euro storm brewing that is going to hurt many here.

15

open blogger sez;;

3) It really is hard to overstate just how bad the economic news today was for Obama. It's not just the slight tick upward in the artificially low unemployment rate; it's not just the horrendous May jobs numbers (69,000 actual vs. 150,000+ expected). It's the April jobs numbers being revised down from 114,000 to 77,000.

 

bad for Obama? fk that, Bad for americans! 

where the hell is the media checking out homeless,  i stop at mickey d's and have to buy twenty extra burgers to feed the group outside.

 

remember when it would be i'll word for food?

 

people actually mean it!

16 If you haven't seen the headline and accompanying photo at Drudge yet, do so. It's good for a laugh.

But dont you worry that Michelle will no longer be proud of her country..... even just a little bit worried???

18 I love how you very cunningly compare Obama with Lord Sauron. 

19

I love the rosy prognostication, Fritz.....

But hey, don't jinx it.

 

A lot could happen.

Barky could bale out Europe to postpone it's inevitable meltdown until after the election.

This could make the Wall Street whores run up the Market to 13000.

....Which would make Barky look great...right before the election.

 

SCOTUS could shoot down ZeroCare....

Which could cause companies to start hiring again....something else that Barky would take credit for.

 

So, let's not start celebrating just yet.

Too many things could happen between now and Nov 6.

20

Let's not get cocky yet.

It's still going to be a long ugly road.  Obama is a world class liar, and pretty good at the "identity politics" thing.  He's going scortched earth on this, willing to shatter the country to build it in his image.

It's certainly winnable, and more winnable than not, but this doesn't mean we should just kick back and let shit happen to us.

(Countdown to the Conventions, then the debates, THEN I can hopefully get my wife on board so I can start putting up signs, handing over cash and generally being useful.)

21 Dude, I was preaching this a year and a half ago- while y'all were cryin' and whining; and, almost got the banhammer for it. So, welcome to the party, pal.

22 Don't forget the last ace in the hole the Dems will play nearer to November:  massive voter fraud.

This will turn a a few counties, and perhaps the right state.  Enough to maybe make things ambiguous again like in 2000.

23 Am I turning red????   It can't be...can it???!!

24 I am now willing to out on a limb and, barring massive fraud and/or other shenanigans, It's Mitt. Not a 57 state landslide, but I think more than 52-48. I even think a number of purples and even light blues might even go red. Impressed too with Mitt's campaign. Keep it up!

25 Wait until reality finally penetrates that last hard shell of narcissism that surrounds Obama and his ego.  It will not be pretty and lets pray Obama does not decide to try a Desert One somewhere to regain all his lost mojo.

26

So, let's not start celebrating just yet.

 

 

Let's not be hasty - It's never too early to start sucking each other's dicks.

27 As bad as things are economically, and as bad as the Obama campaign has conducted itself thus far, don't count on the latter to last.

They will regroup and, if possible, use our comfort or, Heaven forbid, smugness, against us.

They are evil, not stupid, and will cut our throats the first chance they get.

28

I've been waiting 30 years for a bare-knuckled Republican Presidential candidate; who would have thought it would be Mitt Romney? Not me, but I couldn't be happier.

=================================

No, no, no!!! We need a BROKERED CONVENTION!!!

RON PAUL 2012! THIS RINO CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO PROCEED!

29

I am praying for my Mom's gossip to be true. Got a little more out of her that Justice Kagan is rumored to have told the WH almost immediately that the vote was to strike it down and that's why Obama publically freaked out intitially. By "it," she clarified mandate. Definitely said that it was supposed to be announced this week. Take it for what it's worth.

30 1 - SCOTUS overturns tyrannical 0-care 2 - SCOTUS upholds AZ immigration law 3- Walker wins in Wisconsin 4 - Mitt wins 5 - I explode with delight.

I REALLY would like to attend a meetup the night of the vote or the night of the inauguration.

37 It's getting to the point where the Tinfoil Hat quotient is rising fast.

Despite some expecting Bark Obama's butt-boys to haul out the "Racism!!11!!" meme once again, I see something worse on the horizon: When the magnitude of the Traitor-in-Chief's potential defeat begins to sink in, I'm expecting action, not words.

Holder has been interfering more and more, ordering Florida to stop purging illegals from the voter rolls, attacking any state that dares to demand ID from voters, and so forth and so on. He has a track record of illegal and damn-near illegal activity cloaked by his fraudulent authority.

His boss is no slouch when it comes to gloves-off dirty fighting, either. We can look at precedent and imagine how much farther he will go using the power of his current office.

A few people may object, but the stupefied masses won't, and neither will the eunuchs on the "conservative" side. Does anyone expect meaningful protest or calls to action from Jonah Goldberg? Poppin' Fresh? Fox News?

Just sayin'. It's going to get damn rough in the next few months....

38 Is Obama aware of the "unpleasantness" Kagen left in his mouth?

39 This will turn a a few counties, and perhaps the right state. Enough to maybe make things ambiguous again like in 2000.

That's getting harder and harder for them to do.

1) They're absolutely killing the energy industry, especially Coal (I say "especially coal" because Coal tends to come from purple states, where Oil tends to come from red states).  This is going to make Coal Country tend to break Republican in November.

2) The jobs data is just horrific.  And, no matter how much they'd like to, they can't spin it as GWB's fault any more.  This is 40 months of 8%+ "official" unemployment.  People are falling of the artificially long Unemployment check apparatus.

3) Even government unions are starting to die.  Mostly this is in WI, but there's no evidence that it will end there.  Even Michigan is looking at some "Union Busting" legislation.

40 I am praying for my Mom's gossip to be true. Got a little more out of her that Justice Kagan is rumored to have told the WH almost immediately that the vote was to strike it down and that's why Obama publically freaked out intitially.

Ive seen that speculated before.

Isn't that some breach of SCOTUS ethics or protocol or something??  I dont think many of the peers would take kindly to that behavior.

She and my Dad heard it from a Senator's campaign manager this week.

52

>>“In the 1930s, when my parents got married, these were hard issues,’’
Warren said. “My father’s family so objected to my mother’s Native
American heritage that my mother told me they had to elope.

 

If she weren't LYING about being at all NA, she would be claiming that her dad's parents didn't like the idea of someone being 1/16th NA.

 

They probably didn't like her mom because she was blonde and went around acting like she was NA and demanding special treatment.

 

53 Nidermeyer, just imagine the Obamas on the night before the inauguration.

Michelle and the girls running around packing.  Barry trapped behind the Resolute Desk trying to write out that last pardon for Bill Ayers and Brett K while the ashtray rapidly fills.

And then the next day, having to watch as Romney is sworn in as President.

54 Poor Lizzy Warren.  Her mother taught her lies and how to tell them.

55 Another juror Sheila Lockwood, a telephone operator in a hospital, said she felt that because the money didnÂ’t go to Edwards directly, she could not find him guilty. “I just felt that he didnÂ’t receive any of the money so you canÂ’t really charge him for money that he got.  He didnÂ’t even get the money so I just didnÂ’t think he was guilty.”

This certainly makes the $150,000 to Rev Wright seem safe

61 Am I missing something?

Wasn't this the newest post?

62

 

Romney's gonna win?

Great. I didn't want to have to bother with going to vote, anyway.

So it won't matter if I just stay home and watch a  movie.

63 That's getting harder and harder for them to do.


Yeah, I realize all that but I'm saying they will resort to outright ballot fuckery and chad raping to turn enough votes to their favour.  It doesn't matter how many people are resentful of Obama, the ballots that get counted at the end of the night are what matter.   We don't need any boxes of ballots suddenly appearing that were forgotten.

64 I do hope the whole thing goes down because if the rest remains, it will be too tempting for the RINO's to "compromise" with a "fix" to "Keep the good parts." I will fucking puke if that is the case.

65 “I just felt that he didn’t receive any of the money so you can’t really charge him for money that he got. He didn’t even get the money so I just didn’t think he was guilty.” holy f*ck we have to ban women on juries

66

The big question now is when does the new debt bubble burst: the bubble created by the Fed forcing domestic banks to buy up all our new government debt.  That's why loans aren't going to businesses.  And it's a double bubble.  Now the goverenment defaulting takes down every major bank.  Watching Europe, who's confident democratic governments with large 'Progressive' (F'n socialists, properly labeled in Europe at least) are capable of doing anything meaningful on spending? 

It's another example of Obama running the nation like a guy with a gambling addiction who just moves his debt from credit card to credit card with no intention of paying it back.  Which works for individuals.  A person's death ends the debt and the company eats it.  A nation's death is messy and painful for millions of people as we all eat it, but mainly the poor and those on fixed incomes, interest,  or transfer payments.   

67 Wasn't this the newest post?

Drew bumped his over this.

68 84 style landslide is no longer possible - too many dependent people out there nowadays. a generation grew up entitled and believing in Big Momma Govt we can win but landslide not possible now

69 Reality won't penetrate Obama's head until after the election.  He will be totally surprised and will be just shell-shocked, perhaps completely dysfunctional.

70 I actually am a small business man and I can tell you that you are spot on about people like me sitting on our hands. It isn't because we want to tank the economy (although the left will claim we do). It's because of the uncertainty in the air. Personally I would like to hire two more people right now. Two isn't a lot but there are literally hundreds of thousands of businesses in the same boat as me. That adds up to a lot of jobs. I am so sick of being told that I am the problem by the left, that I don't pay my fair share. Here is what I do know. When the downturn started back in the middle of 08 I had to batten down the hatches. I lost $120,000 just keeping the doors open through 09 and 10. However, I didnt lay anyone off. Ten families depend on me for their livelihood And yet I am the "bad guy". Fuck you obama, fuck you with the barbed cock of satan.

71 A buddy of mine down at the marina has had quadruple-bypass surgery this year. He's a nice guy, and is doing well; he's also a big Cubs fan and a big Obama booster (union man). I'm predicting he's going to have a really bad year; I'm just glad he found out about the heart thing first, before the Cubs get downgraded to an AAA team, and Obozo ends up Assistant Adjunct Visiting Honorary Guest Lecturer at the University of Chicago Culinary and Dog-Grooming Institute.

--------------------

You might be right.  Should get the TSA to give the Obamas a pat down upon exiting the White House.  To make sure some of the portraits are still hanging.  Though in a possible fit of pique, the new Bush portrait might suffer an accident.

73

5 MORE MONTHS!!!

It's not only a great, taunting chant to throw at Barky Ofuckstick, but it's also a warning to conservatives.  There's still a lot of time left for the Stupid Party to step on their cranks.

 

Don't get cocky. 

Push this thing through to the end. 

Celebrate on Nov. 6. 

Do whatever we can to prevent Lame Duck / EO damage after the Lightbringer is defeated. 

Celebrate again on January 21. 

 Then pound Mittens and the Congress relentlessly to get it right this time.

74 Glenn Reynolds is fond of quoting Han Solo: "Don't get cocky, kid!" So, yeah, I take my own prognostications well salted. But we've been watching Obama campaign for, what, 8 years now? He has no surprises left, and he tends to get thin-skinned, dismissive and petty when challenged. People like to point to Obama's Harvard law degree, forgetting that Romney has a Harvard law degree and a Harvard MBA. I frankly think Romney will mop the floor with him in the debates.

Nope, we're not in a position to bail out Europe -- whose systemic problems are beyond Europe's ability to solve, much less us -- and any attempt to do so, given our current deficit and debt ceiling issues will only make things worse for Obama, not better. Likewise, now that Obama has been telling donors that his second term would be used to tackle health care again should SCOTUS overturn Obamacare, most businesses will not suddenly see such a court decision a green light to start hiring -- and those that do will not start doing so in time to have an impact before the election. Keep in mind the recession that cost Bush Sr his second term was over well before the Nov 1992 election -- it was the memory of the pain, among other things, that cost him his second term.

Nobody cares much about the DOW these days, for the most part. It's been churning up and down in the same relatively narrow range for over a decade. It's become a place for computers to fight each other in nanoseconds of time for millions of pennies, rather than an actual economic bellwether.

Yes, the news today is bad for Americans, but (IMHO) it's a direct consequence of the policies of this Administration and the Democrats in Congress, put into power by the majority of those same Americans. "Experience is a dear school, but fools will learn at no other." -- Ben Franklin. When Ed Schultz hyperventilates that we might not see another Democratic president in our lifetimes, my response is, 'From your lips to God's ear." But I don't believe that for a second. ..fritz..

75 Ah the sweet-sweet smell of changing winds and fryin' baconz.

76

 we can win but landslide not possible now

 

But I can still stay home and not bother to vote...right?

77 And yet I am the "bad guy". Fuck you obama, fuck you with the barbed cock of satan.

Our motto: 'If Fido won't heel, he ends up as somebody's meal!'

79 If that bastard loses, I'm going over the wall before I end up southern-fried!

80 The scrubby homeless drunkard panhandler population in my small(ish) norcal cow-town has skyrocketed during the past 6 months.. after steadily rising over the past 2.5-3 years. This summer, things are only going to get worse.

81 midaz,

May God bless you and all of your kind.

82

This election will be the first time, other than when he ran against Bobby Rush (and lost) that Obama has ever had an opponent who was willing and able to punch back.  After he lost by a 2:1 margin in his Congressional race against Rush, Obama had the skids greased for him in Chicago.  The Daley machine got Obama's opponents either knocked off the ballot entirely, or forced their withdrawal by making public their sealed divorce records.  And as we all remember, in 2008, McCain basically handed the election to Obama, because he could not stand the thought of "standing in the way of history" and defeating the first serious black candidate for president.

 

83 While I'm not convinced Romney will win big, you can feel that a wave is starting to build. Incompetent appearing incumbent, smart, aggressive challenger, mistake after mistake by the incumbent's party....bodes well for November. However, I'm going to go with the old Glenn Reynolds standy: don't get cocky. A major barometer will be Tuesday's recall. If Walker performs as well or better than the non-partisan polls suggest he will, it will be indicative of Democrat enthusiasm. It's it's down, no matter the spin, we'll know how they truly feel. I know a lot of liberal Democrats and right now they are very, very pessimistic.

84

so how many automatic Dem votes re; public union workers?

state- federal?

85

I think this prediction is reasonable.  Not only because the economy is bad, but also because Mitt actually fights (a vanishingly rare thing among Republican politicians) and becuse Mitt is more attractive to women than Obie is.  Mostly because Mitt is more attractive to women.  I think that should be the number one criteria in any primary fight - figuring out who will make the women get excited.  Cuz that guy's gonna win.  A good looking male candidate is even better for getting female votes than any woman candidate. 

The folly of womens' suffrage has reduced the fight for the highest executive office in the US to an affair of which Cosmo magazine may be best positioned to predict the outcome.

86 Obama's going down harder and faster than a Kardashian sister as a meeting of the NBA Players Association.

87 OT, but not really OT: That official White House Memorial Day photo (featured at HA as the Obamateurism of the Day) is disgusting. But it tells me that Obama's narcissism is truly out of control. That will prove a major weakness for him in this election. Not that it makes a Mitt win a sure or even easy thing.

You don't suppose that would have been avoidable if GM hadn't produced an over-priced, unreliable electric car that nobody wants, do you?

89 I'm no fan of Mitt at all, but yeah, I do think he will win somewhat comfortably. In addition to almost all the Bush states, I can see him taking Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan - and if it's a real landslide maybe Jersey and Minnesota. The days of Reagan/Nixon/Johnson landslides are over because too many states are entrenched on both sides, but Romney should get into the mid-300s in the electoral college.

90

74.....Nope, we're not in a position to bail out Europe -- whose systemic problems are beyond Europe's ability to solve, much less us -- and any attempt to do so, given our current deficit and debt ceiling issues will only make things worse for Obama, not better.

 

Of course we're "not in a position" to bail out Europe....we're broke.

But that won't stop Barky from doing it anyway.

They're already talking about a QE3.....then, they can buy more Euro-bonds, quietly, and keep it off the radar for a while.

There is a reason why the Dems refuse to sign a Budget.

 

 

 

 Likewise, now that Obama has been telling donors that his second term would be used to tackle health care again should SCOTUS overturn Obamacare, most businesses will not suddenly see such a court decision a green light to start hiring -- and those that do will not start doing so in time to have an impact before the election.

 

Well, you would think so.

But keep in mind, there will be some employers who are Dems, that have been using ZeroCare as an excuse....they might very well start hiring.

And the adoring DNCmedia is poised to trumpet any hirings to prop up their Boy King.

 

 

Keep in mind the recession that cost Bush Sr his second term was over well before the Nov 1992 election -- it was the memory of the pain, among other things, that cost him his second term.

 

Yeah, it was well over before the Nov '92 election....but the media didn't report about it till over a year later.

That same lying leftist media is still at work....lying and covering up stories, to try to get Barky reelected.

 

And....if all else fails....that same lying media will start saying that "Romney is going to win in a landslide". .....Because they know that it will cause a lot of lazy voters to stay home and not bother to go vote for Romney.

91 Wow. I remember it being like this during 08. "McCain will win big!". Even after he suspended the delusion was high. Romney is about as competent and less charming then McCain.

"I've been waiting 30 years for a bareknuckled Republican presidential candidate; who would have thought it would be Mitt Romney?"

 

This.  The whole Solyndra photo-op and Axeldouche getting the smirk wiped off his face - in BOSTON, of all places! - makes me feel better about Mitt.  I'm still not ready to suck his dick yet, but he's magnitudes better than Juan McShitstain.

 

"Romney is about as competent and less charming than McCain."

 

Fuck you.  If it wasn't for that senile old collaborationist dickwipe, we wouldn't have the Dog-Eating Retard desecrating the Oval Office.  McCain couldn't carry Mitt's magic undewear.

94 Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Clitoris at June 01, 2012 02:14 PM (zF6Iw) Please. Romney has nothing except money. And Obama has that in spades. Romney could barely lead against shoestring primary campaigns. No charm, likability or any war hero status McCain had. Obama even leads him in most polls that come out now. Mccain and kerry were leading at this time.

95 Well, let's not start sucking each other's %$^&* quite yet.  Too much time and too many variables.  Attack, attack, attack, the lying POS thru Nov. 6.  Full bore!

96 Posted by: W. Wolf at June 01, 2012 02:20 PM (sbV1u) Obama will attack and romney will tepidly defend as he loses more ground

97 Less charming than McCain? Is that even humanly possible?

98 As others have noted, Obama has never faced a tough campaign before As pointed out by #82, Champ got whacked by Bobby Rush in a congressional primary. For all his other flaws, Mr. Rush is no stranger to bare-knuckle politics.

99 I don't remember anyone here saying we'd win in a landslide with McCain. The only time he pulled ahead was when he brought Palin on and that was short lived. We HOPED he'd win simply because most of us had an idea who Barky was and what he'd bring and old Mac was the better alternative. Romney is a much better candidate than McCain ever dreamed of being.

100 97 Less charming than McCain? Is that even humanly possible? Posted by: tsj017 at June 01, 2012 02:31 PM (4YUWF) Yes. Romney is john kerry. And to the poster above me, yes, many people were saying at this time there would be no way mccain would lose as he was leading by 10ish points. Even after he suspended his campaign people said he'd win. Obama hasnt faced a tough campaign before. We gave him romney and that just keeps tradition. Romney is a loser who has won one campaign on lick and had to shamely not run because of how unpopular he was. He has no geographical home. He isnt winning Mass or Michigan. John kerry 2.0. Only kerry could win a home state

101 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

102 Flapjackaka is funny when he's being all indignant and such. He'd rather have Obama win and finish destroying the country just so he could feel he was right. You're worse than any leftist I know.

103 I think he's going to win, too. Did you see the 1994 vid of him attacking Ted Kennedy? He's got it in him, and it appears he's willing to use it.

Just a note for the GOP: How about an ad about Obama refusing to acknowledge Lech Walesa because he was too "political" -- meaning, he said the US was slipping towards socialism.  Nice way of using the socialism word without actually saying it?

104 Posted by: polynikes channeling bizarro Edwards at June 01, 2012 03:06 PM (DdHu+) Cool story bro. Stay mad. Channel the anger to me too when romney loses another election. He is good at doing it.

105 103 I think he's going to win, too. Did you see the 1994 vid of him attacking Ted Kennedy? He's got it in him, and it appears he's willing to use it. Yeah i saw that. The one where he said he was more anti gun and pro abortion then kennedy.

106 I agree. Romney wins, not by a landslide, but by too much that the left can plausibly claim fraud and string it out with recounts. Over 5%, is my guess. Obama just isn't liked and the "I'm gonna vote for a black dude" mojo is gone.

107 Yeah i saw that. The one where he said he was more anti gun and pro abortion then kennedy.

You're right. Let's just say home then and lose.

108 Well, he damned well better win big. Because the Dems will  be shamelessly stuffing every ballot box they can find, knowing that Holder & Co. will hand them a get-out-of-jail-free card.

 Since you ended on with a LOTR quotation, here's another that we must all keep in mind:  "There is only one Lord of the Rings. And he does not share power."

Here, here Fritz!

I think your analysis of how bad things are for Obama as of this week is spot on. For a good while not I have been posting at Ace of Spades that I think the broad dynamics indicate a big Romney win was likely coming. But the economic facts emerging this week make those broad dynamics even starker than before. 

And while I agree that it would be overly optimistic by quite a bit to even cautiously predict a 1984-like landslide, I think it is reasonable to wonder if a victory in that stratospheric range might develop.
The reason:
It is within the realm of possibility that a national zeitgeist of anti-Obama ridicule could develop. If those kinds of floodgates open, watch out! - Not saying this is likely because it isn't. But perhaps barely within range.

But I reiterate what I've been saying for a while now: a big Romney win is likely.

How much do I want Obama and his henchmen to lose? Nationwide I can think of nothing better than total destruction. Allow me a simple explanation. I am NOT advocating any killing, but

Fight to kill or fight to win?  With apologies to Terry Pratchett writing in “Witches Abroad: “Cats will kill. But they do not fight to kill. They fight to win.

There is a difference. ThereÂ’s no point in killing an opponent, if they are dead, then they are not aware that theyÂ’ve lost. To be a real winner you must have an opponent who not only is beaten, but also knows he has been beaten, even crushed. There is small triumph standing over a corpse, but a beaten, crushed opponent who will remain beaten and crushed every day of their sad and wretched lives, is something to treasure.

 

This is how I feel about November. I donÂ’t want to kill these Democrats, I want to destroy them. I want the American people that I know and love to rise up en masse  and vote these son of a bitches OUT! I want them standing on the outside of politics, looking in and realizing how badly they screwed things up, for the next thirty years or so. If this happens in November. I can die a happy man.
