To suggest racism didn't play a factor would be ignorant, but to suggest it did would also be ignorant. The only person that knows for sure is Joe Wilson. My opinion is that it had nothing to do with race and that he saw a chance to align himself with the base of his party which might be...

For all we know some planets are dominated by dinosaur like species or a civilization once flourished in a different galaxy and is now extinct. There are many possibilities. Perhaps we are the most advanced civilization in the universe? Nobody ever talks about that. Most people think of Aliens...

Oh he most certainly did lead them off a cliff, but they all followed him down it. It took six years though. Right now the republicans don't have anyone to follow good or bad. The demographics are indeed changing. Young people are also turning out more and more at the polls and they're...

You're right. The people who supported him and specifically moderate conservatives and independents and probably some conservative dems are starting to trend away from Obama right now, but those same people were probably never birthers to begin with.

My point has nothing to do with the polls and yes I'm quite aware that the democratic party is not popular at all. Neither are the Republicans though. In fact, Washington is just not popular with American people. I think most know this. My point is 40 seats give or take is a lot. Republican...

This isn't about his decline in support which isn't racial motivated. This about a handful of republicans or I wouldn't even call them that not accepting the fact that Obama is a born citizen of the United States. The birther movement was never in support of Obama. They cannot accept him as...

Likely voters tend to be older which trends more republican and that's why rams trends republican. It doesn't take into the account the turnouts that have been going on since 2006 for the dems. Now they could all stay home because Obama's presidency is still on it's way down and the republicans...

Only Liberal alive who's hero is Jack Bauer :) I really don't label myself anything. I have liberal views and I have conservative views. I don't care what I am. I voted for Obama because one party stunk for eight years and one party in charge for too long is always a bad thing in my opinion. In...

I don't disagree with what you're saying. I just think the fact that he's half-black with a funny name is why this exists. I think the normal republicans know that part of their base is the South and this is where the outrage or at least the birther movement really is. To me that spells out...

You much rather see republicans in control than dems though? You may not identify with either or, but social views aside, you probably consider republicans the lesser of two evils. I'm just guessing based on what I'm reading. I really don't care like deception might :) 538 was pretty accurate...

The problem here is people aren't going to turn to the republicans or not in the way you're hoping. Both parties are a joke right now. They're looking for their revolution and they haven't found it yet. Doesn't mean they won't, but at this time, both parties are struggling and the republicans...

Olbermann and Maddow are no where near as bad as Glenn Beck. I've watched all three before and the extremes just don't compare. The two liberals do their best to make smart ass comments most of the time and Maddow is very sarcastic on her own right. Actually she's so sarcastic it's annoying...

Apples and Oranges. The dems at least had some merit to their outrage. We're talking about ballots not being counted or being counted for someone else. This is something that has not merit what so ever. It's not even partisan politics. Let's be honest, this is about his race.

Some things are just inappropriate and Beck has crossed the line a number of times. He lies and he promotes hate. FOX should pull him altogether. None the networks have anyone quite like Beck on the air.

I'm just talking the mid-term election between getting elected and running again. Hence 2002 and we all know Bush's "War on Terror" and the circumstances that predated the election is the reason why he saw gains. I believe Bush even pushed the congress to vote on war before the actual elections...
