I’m seeing a lot of cocky talk from the Dems, and numbers spinning from the repubs…
I think O is gonna take this still.
Oh well, it was a good run, and exciting while it lasted…
Christie 2016!

ewww, I believe you just opened the proverbial, “can of worms.” This should be interesting.
My take - God doesn’t interfere with our piddly elections. He allows us to reap what we sow, so to speak.[/quote]
I agree with part of that. But. I don’t want to turn this into yet another religious thread. Let me just say that if God did not want the Hurricane to hit until after the election, or at all, it wouldn’t have. Is this God’s way of saying you are going to get what you deserve here’s another four years of Obama?
I pray that’s not the case, but I am reflecting on that possibility.[/quote]
That could be true. My personal belief is that free will plays a lot more into Gods grand plan than many think. I’ll just leave it at that so this thread doesn’t get way off track.
I do think of the two, Obama will capitalize on this event much more than Romney. Not because Romney isn’t doing what he can, but the President is in a unique position that will allow him to use this event to his advantage. It’s sad that suffering will be used for leverage, but that life I suppose. [/quote]
Well said my friend.

To Obama’s credit he hasn’t done this at all.
The lap dog media has done it for him though.[/quote]
And he knew that they would do it so that he didn’t have to.

All I have to say, Zeb…is I don’t know what to say…

You obviously disagree and I’m not surprised, no problem.

If Romney does lose and Christie is the nominee I will work against him. He deserves the same loyalty that he gave to Romney.

Christie doesn’t actually have a shot after 4 more years of Obama. Hit weight will destroy him, because American’s are shallow at heart.
Outside of a Reagan type rebound with 9% GDP growth over the next 4 years, this country will be so hungry for a conservative that Paul Ryan will look like a moderate.
But, based on the fact the Republicans couldn’t beat fucking Obama, I have zero hope for them in 2016 at this point.
The lefty machine has won the narrative, and Obama isn’t that bad of a president to topple the whole thing through awful performance… At this point, no one is that bad, because the party money won’t let him be that bad.
The last thing the party money wants to see is too much left to soon. Too much left, too soon will cause massive backlash. Mufasa likes to shit talk the tea party, but they scare the living day lights out of the lefty party money, this is for certain. Because two things the tea party gets are the long game, and the ground game.
The left is playing the long game here as well as the short game. And they are kicking ass. Antonio Gramsci is winning, and running up the score. They just need to be careful that they don’t score too much and turn the ass whooping into sympathy for the losers.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m gonna punch that ticket on Tuesday even if I die doing it, my country deserves that. But my hope has faded over the last 36 hours.
But, I will say, a big revision to last months jobs number and a bad one for this month hurts Obama way more than this storm could ever help.
Plus it changes the story from “o-bam and Chris cuttle” to “maybe last month’s numbers were bullshit”
ADP already revised last months down to HALF of what they orginally reported. 162k down to 88k.

I think you might be wrong on this for two reasons:
-
Americans are lowering their standards faster than Paris Hilton drops her pants. In four years time about 75% of America will be over weight and Christie’s weight will not be an issue.
-
Who is to say he couldn’t lose a few pounds between now and then?
No, Christie is stabbing Romney in the back because he wants to be the man in four years. I hope other republicans take notice. Should Romney lose it will be in part because of Christie’s dirty work. He thinks that people are stupid and can’t see beyond the little game that he’s playing. If Obama were to win and run for a third term (I know it’s illegal) I’d vote for him over Christie. Christie is a backstabbing, disloyal pig.
That depends on what the mass media feed the sheep isn’t it?
First of all it isn’t over yet. I think Romney was in fact beating Obama, the Chicago sleaze machine and the corrupt liberal media. But the hurricane…I mean sheesh.
I highlighted waht you said above simply because I want Mufasa to see what you said about him. I like to help out like that now and then.

Well, I have to say that before the hurricane I was feeling fairly confident that Romney was going to win this thing, and I’m not positive that he’s going to lose yet. But after seeing how Obama is milking this thing, he’s on drive time radio, prime time news etc. I think the suckers in the middle who don’t know their ass from first base will look at each other all cross eyed and say “heth soo pwesidetial i gonna vote for hum DUUUUUUUHHHH!”
They’ll wake up after several trillion more in debt and say “I tink i did wong again…”
Obama, Axlerod and company must have fallen to their knees and thanked God for that storm. No wait that would be praying and liberals hate that. Well…they were certainly happy it happened when it did. The timing could not have been better.
Hopefully we won’t get what we deserve and Romney will still win. But as you say the past day or so may have a negative impact on that conclusion.

What makes you say this now ?
The New Obama Jobs Plan…
“Storm repairs create jobs and stimulate the economy.”
I can see the presses running with this title by early next week.

What the hell are we doing waiting around for storms for then?! We could have a national smash-a-thon or some such thing.
I’ve missed something with Christie, not that I ever thought much of him. What happened? I know he’s showing Obama around and putting aside the election business, but what’s got people fired up?

I heard this exact line of reasoning this evening in an NPR story.
The gist of the story was that if a silver lining can be found, it’s that a lot of the damage in NYC was in relatively affluent areas, so there is opportunity to rebuild, creating jobs, stimulating economy, etc.

Basically from what I’ve seen is he’s been public and profuse in his praise of Obama for helping NJ in the hurricane. A bit too much according to some-many feel Obama is just doing his job and Christie is lining himself up as a “bipartisan” player for 2016.
This storm has stopped the Romney momentum. Will it be enough for Obama to win? Romney needs to hit the ground running Thursday morning putting the attention back on the failed Obama economic record. And those in other positions need to talk about the Benghazi debacle. In other words the storm is over let’s get back to business.
Oh…and Chris Christie should lift his head from Obama’s ass and come up for air. He can still redeem himself by appearing with Romney and saying the right things. But he won’t do that because he wants Romney to lose.
Damnation! I’m out of it for a little while and everybody 180s their mood and predictions. WHAT. HAPPENED? I mean, I know the storm hit, but damn beans, you sound depressed buddy :). Is there any movement in the poll numbers to back up this vibe? Where’s this coming from ZEB, beans?
Christie has stuck Romney out good and proper. Quite shocking to watch.

I’m wondering the same thing. It may actually give the edge in Pennsylvania and Ohio because it’ll make it harder to vote and cancels some early voting for some parts of those states. Especially for the poor who would more likely vote Obama.
