How pitiful. Is that all you have? Do you know how many people are lurking here and can see how utterly fucking stupid you are? Aren't you embarrassed?
Chuck Norris. I favor a Chuck Norris Presidency.

So you have no favorite amongst the Seven Dwarves.
You aren't alone, Failias.
Americans have yet to find a Republican they'd clearly prefer over President Barack Obama, although half say the president does not deserve re-election.
Among Republicans, the desire to oust Obama is clear, according to a new AP-GfK poll.
But it has not resolved divisions over the choice of a nominee.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is reasonably popular, but he has not pulled away from the field.
Former pizza company executive Herman Cain runs close to Romney as the candidate Republicans would most like to see on the ballot, but many Republicans are reluctant to back a man who has never held office.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry lags in the poll, which was conducted before Tuesday night's combative debate in Las Vegas.

You keep right on reading the HuffPo and all your other lefty propaganda. When you wake up on the day after election day, then you can tell us all the wonderful news.

Unite or Die
There are two separate and distinct factions (in the Republican party). One that demands conservative purity in its candidate for president and one that is far more practical and will gladly accept any candidate who can beat President Obama, no matter how moderate.
...the purists want the most conservative Republican candidate to be nominated. They detest moderates. Compromise to them is tantamount to a crime against humanity. Rush Limbaugh and some members of the Tea Party are the loudest voices on the purity side.
The other side consists of followers of the late William F. Buckley, who famously said that he would support the most viable conservative candidate in any race – meaning the most conservative candidate who can actually win.
...The Buckley faction would rather have a moderate Republican in the Senate, who will vote with his or her party only half the time, rather than a liberal Democrat who will never vote with the Republicans. And that’s what Nevada and Delaware wound up with: two liberal Democrats who back President Obama on just about everything. That’s the price Republicans pay for ideological purity.
The good news for Republicans is that even if the purists don’t get their way, they’ll hold their nose and vote for a moderate, someone like Mitt Romney. They have no place else to go. And they won’t stay home on Election Day, either. They dislike the president too much to sit home and pout.
The bad news for Republicans is that independents – who have no roots in either party – might not be as generous. They may not support President Obama today as the polls tell us, but the election isn’t being held today. If the Republicans pick the wrong candidate – someone who is too doctrinaire, too uncompromising, yes, too conservative, there’s a good chance the independents will vote for Obama just as they did in 2008 – even with a bad economy.
And if Republicans lose they won’t be able to blame anybody but themselves...

LOL! Faux 'news' already predicting defeat because they realize that both sides of the radical right has no candidate that can win!

We tried to compromise on Obamacare and all we got was "fuck you" from this administration. So be it.

If Republicans take the House (which they did) as anticipated on election night, voters can expect to hear the customary talk about coming together with Democrats for the good of the country.
President Barack Obama inevitably will extend a hand across the aisle as well.
But that’s Tuesday. Right now, the tone is a lot different — with Republicans pledging to embrace an agenda for the next two years that sounds a lot like their agenda for the past two: Block Obama at all costs.
And even Obama’s pre-election appeals to cooperation are wrapped in an I’m-still-the-president tone that suggests that Americans will be looking at two opposing camps glaring at each other across the barricades — gridlock all around.
Here’s John Boehner, the likely speaker if Republicans take the House, offering his plans for Obama’s agenda: “We're going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell summed up his plan to National Journal: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president...”
Obama frequently reminds voters he believes all the delay in Washington this year is the Republicans’ fault.
“So I hope that my friends on the other side of the aisle are going to change their minds going forward, because putting the American people back to work, boosting our small businesses, rebuilding the economic security of the middle class, these are big national challenges. And we’ve all got a stake in solving them. And it’s not going to be enough just to play politics. You can’t just focus on the next election. You’ve got to focus on the next generation,” Obama said a recent event in Rhode Island.

Cain once said that President Obama is not “a strong black man,” adding, “A real black man is not timid about making the right decisions.
When he was mocked on “The Daily Show” by Jon Stewart for saying he wouldn’t sign a bill longer than three pages, Cain told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that it was “because I’m black.”
Cain has said he thinks he can get a third of the black vote — not because he is black, but because of his policies.
“I don’t believe racism in this country holds anybody back in a big way,” Cain said on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday.
Cain’s words have been embraced by conservatives who are defensive about racism.
But when he’s strayed from that line of thinking, he’s been attacked by the same people for “playing the race card.”
