stevenash Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 You are probably going to have to keep posting TTT on this thread. It appears that your credibility with most of the board participants has diminished to the point that I am the only one still willing to play your game. If Christie chooses to run in 2016, the system will decide whether or not he is best qualified as opposed to your personal evaluation.

NorthoftheBorder Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I firmly believe that ECO is an Obama administration "plant" on this board! Like the current administration, all ECO provides is rhetoric and no substance!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenash Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Hey, Enlightened, you forgot to add BOOM! ROASTED! to you last post. You are slipping. Would you remind repeating what you said the other day in one of our other conversations where you stated that you believe the economy would be better off with lower taxes, fewer regulations, and no Obamacare?

EnlightenedChosenOne Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Sure I believe in lower taxes, less regulations and a repeat of obamacare BOOM ROASTED NEXTTTTTTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenash Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I would much prefer you to have said a repeal rather than a repeat. We cant handle the first obamacare, let alone a repeat. But I am glad to see you back in form on the BOOM ROASTED thing. Just wondering if you would like to compare recovery notes on this recovery vs the one that occurred shortly after Bush inherited the Clinton recession/dot com bubble bursting?

TxHoops Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I think if he resists the urge to jump in the sack with the radical right (as did the past two nominees), he will be a formidable candidate who could win the election. As I have said before though, the problem is these guys get wrapped up in winning the primary and it's hard to do without that support (can't win the game if you aren't ultimately in it). Time will tell if he gets "teabagged," as it were. Now some on this board will tell you that the Presidency was lost the last two times because the GOP did not put a truly conservative candidate in the race. To those I would say, you're right! Please nominate Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio. Plus, you will assuredly get that Hispanic vote, you know.... Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please nominate Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio. Plus, you will assuredly get that Hispanic vote, you know.... Actually race does matter but not like you are portraying it. In 2008 13% of the vote came from African Americans. Obviously most supported Obama. Going back to Jimmy Carter in 1976 (as far back as I could find stats), they usually voted in the total vote at 8%-10%. That means that Obama go an additional 3% of his votes (5% more than Clinton) from African Americans to support a black president. The questions seems to me will be whether that same enthusiasm will remain to vote for a white person as it was with Obama. Even going to the most recent election in 2008 where Obama got 51% of the popular vote, can the next candidate for the Dems take a 3-5% hit and still win? We can somewhat toss all the Tea Party, conservative enough and other stuff aside if Hillary or whoever can't keep up that 13% show up at the polls.

And there would likely be a spike in women voting (some who might not otherwise vote) due to a strong female candidate. Yada yada yada. The next election will be decided the way they all are. Not by race or gender - by who gets the most indie votes. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxHoops Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Not sure how Hillary will do. But if Bill could run again, the final numbers would look like Reagan vs. Mondale. bullets13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullets13 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Clinton showed a willingness to work with both sides of the aisle. We need bipartisanship from whoever ends up in office if things are ever going to improve. Both sides think they're right on every issue, but to fairly represent the vastly different groups in our country compromise is needed. thetragichippy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitty Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Not sure how Hillary will do. But if Bill could run again, the final numbers would look like Reagan vs. Mondale. It's amazing how time has a way of erasing/changing history. There's not much difference between bil'sl and obama's philosophy. Remember, after 40 years, the Republicans won control of the House after two years of the clinton fiasco. But, to his credit, and to save his Presidency, he worked with the Republicans. Meaning he HAD to move to the right. And guess what -- it saved his Presidency. Imagine that! But, obama just doesn't have it in him to do what bill did. That's the Chicago thugocracy coming out in him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
