A Reagan landslide in 2012

Post by fatman »

If this is accurate looks like it might be time to drop some money of the right to win
A new Quinnipiac University poll got a lot of press for showing Obama’s strength among single women, and his weakness among married women who have to run family budgets. But there was another important finding in it that nearly got overlooked. And that is that Obama’s support among non-college-educated, blue collar white males has dropped to an historic low.

White male workers in jobs like construction are traditionally conservative, but 39 percent of them voted for Obama in 2008. His support among them has now plummeted to 29 percent, the lowest on record. Even Walter Mondale got 31 percent of their votes when he lost to Reagan in 1984, and that was the previous record low. Analysts say this could mean we’re seeing a return of the voting bloc that created the Reagan landslides: so-called “Reagan Democrats.” Working class whites who identify as Democrats, but vote for Republicans. Ironically, it was Reagan himself who best summed up the reason why this is happening today. He said that he was once a Democrat, and he didn’t leave the party. It just moved so far left, it left him.

Obama wins in a relatively easy contest.....expensive, but easy. Funny how both sides talk about helping people, but are going to spend over a Billion dollars for an election. Talk, however, is cheap.

Obama is a sleazy lying piece of shit.
I do hope most people see through the lies
and vote the piece of shit back to his beloved
Chicago ghetto.

So far it's anybody's game.

Callmesick is as arrogant as ever.

Sort of a "no brainer"...for everybody?
Obama is really, really good at blowing other peoples money.
Romney is good at making money.

The majority of the folks are tired of watching...
Obama, party on their dime.

So, dream on....libs.
The party is almost over.

somebody in old Mitt's camp ought to tell him to stop getting photographed every weekend tooling about in his
million dollar speedboat and start talking to real folks up there in Laconia. Thus far, his image control is dismal.
Hell, he spent last week avoiding talking about Bain, then running to about 8 news outlets to defend his Bain tenure
and then got an earful from GOP governors about releasing his taxes. Not a good tactical start.

Well...Slick...the difference is just what you noted ;)

Mitt's speeding around in the boat that he paid for....and...
Obama's speeding around in the boat we paid for.

It's really that simple, the "Progressive Ethic".
"You don't have to own anything, if you can borrow it".
"You don't have to pay it back, if you're not gonna be around".

Perhaps, the only reason Obama is seeking a second term?
It's the only job he can/could get......maybe?
