Ok, now I may be getting myself all worked up over nothing, because as we all know, the only poll that counts is the one on Election Day. But still this most recent poll is more than a little disconcerting. Having said that, as critics of Barry "Almighty", of which I am most certainly one, have repeated over and over again, 2012 is very much a do-or-die year for the country. But it would now seem that there is a growing segment out there who seems to disagree with that assessment. They are either to stupid to see what this man has been successful in doing or they refuse to believe that the president of this country would actually be actively trying to destroy it. Believe it or not the next election will determine whether America stays on the road to European-style socialism or moves to the right in an effort to reclaim some of its positions as the most vibrant economy in the world and the home of individual liberty.
The recent poll to which I refer seems to indicate that none of our current crop of Republican presidential candidates has managed to solidify the base of the party, with one in five GOP voters going so far as to actually be willing to support Barry in November. That any self-professed Republican would choose to support the man out to destroy our country is, to me, beyond comprehension. And if that is in fact the case, that these morons cannot settle on a GOP candidate that would be better than Barry, then, folks, we are most assuredly, for lack of a better word, quite FUCKED! Because any of those currently vying for the opportunity to oppose Barry, would be far better than Barry. The results are from the public-opinion research and media consulting company, Wenzel Strategies. The poll was conducted Feb. 1-3, 2012, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.44 percentage points.
According to pollster Fritz Wenzel, “The improvement in Obama’s prospects compared to the four remaining Republican challengers stems largely from two factors.” He goes on to say, “First, Obama has largely avoided the political limelight while the GOP candidates savage each other with increasing intensity. Second, a smattering of evidence indicates that the economy is getting a little better, which helps the White House in the eyes of the voters. Secondly, the bloody fight for the Republican presidential nomination – by most estimations the nastiest GOP fight in memory – has really hurt the images of the challengers in the eyes of both Republicans and, especially, independent voters. For Republicans, each candidate carries with them now some taint that cannot be ignored.” Talk about a tainted candidate, Barry is the most tainted of all. He is destroying our country!
In what can only be described as being an act of pure insanity, it would appear that in every case except the match-up against Ron Paul, more than 20 percent of Republican voters said they would be more likely to support Barry than the Republican challenger. And Ron Paul is close, as 19 percent of Republicans said they are more likely to support Barry than Paul. And something that I feared might happen is that those highly sought after independent voters have now, apparently, been quite put off with the Republican nomination fight. While polls last fall showed them leaning Republican by roughly a two-to-one margin, they are now either split evenly or favoring Barry. But I must confess that as far as I'm concerned those who profess to be "independent" are nothing but gutless cowards who are simply afraid to commit to one side or the other. They think, somehow, that they're special. Right, Special-Ed.
And as I was afraid would happen, Mr. Wensel says, “Obama has masterfully positioned himself to lower expectations among the electorate in terms of economic progress, and has sat idly by while Republicans, mostly Romney and Newt Gingrich, destroy each other’s reputations.” He adds, “While the Obama-Clinton nomination battle lasted well into the spring four years ago, it never got as nasty as this year’s fight between Romney and Gingrich, which now appears to be very personal in nature. Obama was able to recover nicely by the time the general election campaign rolled around. If either Romney or Gingrich wins the nomination – and that is a long way from being determined – it is doubtful either will recover to full strength by the fall campaign. This poll indicates that it is more the negativity of the Republican nomination fight and less the small improvement in the economy that has changed the national political landscape."
And apparently Barry is also getting a little help from what's being described as upbeat economic news, even though that supposed upbeat news comes to us by way of what are nothing more than some heavily manipulated numbers. One third of poll respondents, 34 percent, said Barry has exceeded expectations during his first term in office, while another 20 percent said he has performed as expected. Less than half – 47 percent, said he has fallen short of their expectations for him as president. Among independents, 60 percent said Barry has either met or exceeded expectations. Among political moderates, 52 percent said the same thing. All I can say is that these imbeciles must have set their performance bar pretty low to have Barry exceeded, let alone met, their expectations. That in itself is a pretty sad statement about where we are as a country. We've become satisfied with the mediocre.
It just amazes me to think that our overtly socialist president would defeat any of the four Republicans if the election were held today. It is absolutely terrifying to me and it shows just how stupid the American public has become. By reelecting Barry what we will be doing is nothing short of putting a rather large caliber gun against our head and pulling the trigger. And we will apparently be doing so with a smile on our face and a song in our heart. I mean we are hanging by a thread and we're only too happy to hand Barry a pair of scissors with which he will be able to cut it. Does that makes any amount of sense to anybody? Is it me, am I the crazy one? Am I missing something in my choosing to not board the Barry crazy train? I have a daughter in college and what kind of future can I expect for her by the time Barry gets done with his efforts to make us into another Europe?
