To Scott Galupo, I misunderstood what you wrote and am totally wrong on what I said of you. I apologize .

Total correct on barry until proven wrong....

Before you go all ballistic on the author, re-read what he wrote - particularly the lead-in sentences to some of the "claims' that you are railing against.

This country cannot survive another four years of Obummer and neither can the American people.

The next wave of housing downturn is coming SOON and the true unemployment is will above 15%. Don't even talk about the inflation that IS coming.

The Republican candidate needs to do two things:

1) shine a big bright light on everything Obummer has/hasn't done

2) don't listen to the established Republican machine, just tell the people

the true. They will listen and understand.

The problem has been the effort to try and appeal to the folks that are NOT going to vote for a Republican anyway. Sell your message to a unified base and try and attract the Independents with a brain. Taxpayers know we cannot keep spending money we do not have and we are NOT the world's protector.

I think the best ticket possible would be two people that claim they are not running -- Gove Perry & Col. West, now that's a ticket for America's future.

It's time to recruit them both, Gov Perry & Col West your country needs you more than ever. It is your time.

Perry/West 2012

A team with Pride in America, for America!

He isn't aware of the "lamestream media" who are virtually licking their chops to eat up any contender who comes up against his beloved O'brother. (remember what the AP did to Sarah ...sent a small army of 'reporters' to dig up and make up derogatory stories anywhere that they could).

Scott Galupo is unaware that a shining star will eventually rise out of the conservative party and defeat O'brother in 2012 ....watch and see!

1. “Having extended healthcare coverage to almost every American”

I don’t have obamaare health insurance. Do you have obamacare health insurance ? I don’t think so that nearing every American has obamacare health insurance. People are still without health insurance, getting sick, losing all their life’s savings and losing their homes. Going without treatment. Needlessly dying in the gutters. As liberals use to say while campaigning for obamacare.

Why do you lie Scott Galupo ???

Did barry run on platform that once passed, would be a least 4 year wait for most of obamacare to kick in ? I don’t think so !!! That car unions would be exempt from taxes for Cadillac health coverage for some years. Wavers would burn like plains grasses in drought for cronies of barry in unions among other places. The exemptions for 3 States including Harry Reid’s State.

I thought spreading the cost would lower the cost was the idea ?

2. "Depending on how you look at it, Obama has promised to wring wasteful spending from the Medicare system; he will turn a few knobs, but otherwise keep the program as-is."

A bigger lie than the first. Has politics become whooping fish stories for Scott Galupo ??

A. "Cuts in payments to doctors and hospitals under Medicare as provided in current law due to Obamacare and President Obama’s Medicare reimbursement policies is $15 trillion!"

"These Medicare cuts were the foundation for CBO finding that Obamacare would actually reduce the deficit, despite adopting or expanding three entitlement programs."

"Medicare’s Chief Actuary reports that even before these cuts already two-thirds of hospitals were losing money on Medicare patients."

"The unworkable, Draconian effect of these Medicare cuts is why the U.S. Government Accountability Office issued a disclaimer..."

B. "Unlike Ryan’s careful Medicare reforms, these draconian, unworkable, Obamacare cuts to Medicare apply to seniors already retired today. Ryan exempts from any change all seniors retired today and everyone over age 55. On these grounds alone, Ryan’s Medicare is better for today’s seniors than Medicare under Obamacare."

"That will involve an additional $500 billion in Medicare cuts for today’s seniors by 2023, “and an additional one trillion dollars in the decade after that,” in Obama’s own words."

C. "Obama proposed to give even more power to the unelected, unaccountable, Washington bureaucrats on his Commission to cut Medicare further, by undemocratic automatic sequester that bypasses Congress entirely."

"Seniors would do far better each choosing their own health insurers themselves in a competitive marketplace, which is the system that has generated the highest standard of living in the world in America for all goods and services."

as a registered republican, i voted democrate in the last elections and will vote democrate in this upcoming election next year also.. we have no choice and we are not married to the political party we are registered with.. the republicans dont have a chance, especially with the candidates they have,,, Sarah Palin, please she is actually a liability and hurting the republican party,, Sarah Palin actually thinks that she will win the presidency and she will never be President of the USA, than you have Gingrich, or Guliani, or bloomberg and these last two who one is the former mayor of NYC is not a great person as people give him credit for 911 in NYC, yet as a member of the FDNY, and one who survived the attack, Rudy Guliani did nothing, and he only did what a mayor should have done, but Guliani gets to much credit for nothing,, he borders on communism believe it or not, its his way or the highway and this is the USA and we dont run this great country that way.. than we have Bloomberg who thinks that money can buy everything and changes the law after the people voted for term limits, he goes and changes the law so he can run again and he wins by spending millions upon millions of his own money to buy the mayors seat.. RIDICULOUS and is this what you want for the USA ? i will vote democrat again until the republicans come in with a trutworthy and a good candidate.... Barack Obama again in 2012 !

Hip, snazzy sizzle versus the Dole-Drum Drones.

The only thing that'll make Americans eat their dull, drab spinach is five dollar gas, 9 percent unemployment and more business and industry fleeing overseas from insane Environmentalist regulation.

Short of that, it's gonna be the fast talkin', smooth walkin' smug smilin', green soul man.

R.L. Schaefer of CA 6:58PM May 31, 2011

What does that mean ? Does that mean that this is the new norm ? Does it mean that the voters and people are willing to accept it ? Does it mean liberalism is winning ? Have we become so lame and sorry we will accept this " status quo " as ok and vote this bafoon in again ?

Take advantage of status qua ? WAKE UP AMERICA !!! Or this is the " new norm " , and get use to it , you voted for it .

Sad day when the Republicans can't find a credible opponent for Obama, a mediocrity. Can Evangelicalism gain converts faster than Obama can breed Hispanics?
