2012 is the YEAR when REASON LOGIC and SANITY returns to the FRONT and CENTER ,,tis the year

when Fantasy takes its Fears and Tears back 50 - 60 years ago..

2012 is the year when the Planet must choose its path to the Future...for the short term and the

longer term...

Come, we witness the downward spiral of the once mighty GOP...Their main Bench Warmer

Dudes are crapping out big time...

This is the year when we see the defeat of Conservatism and its Hubristic cousins ...obstruction and destruction..

Their bully traits exposed and rejected at the polls give the Reasonable ones the edge...

The Dems seem to have better ratios than the GOPers....much more benevolent too...

but I'm afraid that 2012 will be a year when 'events' determine the course of the planet. Sadly, the world is run by opinion and emotion. Reason and logic are only applied after the fact to try to explain what happened.

OF course, my perspective is a little skewed, safely up here in the frozen north, but alas...

Obama will get a 2nd term. Easily. Look at the fools the republicans are challenging with -I mean, really?

And I believe this was the plan all along. Obama had to 'toe the line' so to speak, on his first term...he had to ensure he gets another 4 years...

It's hard for me to verbalize, but I really do believe he will bring your country a little more to the left in his 2nd term..what's the alternative? Can't go to the right - why placate the crazies?

No, he needed to appear as a hard line centrist in his first term - to show the people he wasn't what the 'right' portrayed him as, namely a 'socialist' in sheeps clothing.

When he wins in 2012, he should realize this is a message from the people that hardline wacky conservatism has no place in a progressive country.

Embrace the left, Mr. Obama. You (and your country) will be richly rewarded.

outta the Hole.

The Gopers are hung up on a losing argument and they noes it.

Their mega rich has been exposed as a Force to slowly change the tax laws to favor

their side,,,,

But, they went overboard and elected Bush 2x with the current downward spiral resulting.

It has taken our Pres 3 years to come this far...he will go on to higher ground yet...

Come, we go
