Obama and the selfie

again, just because you want all that to be true, doesn't even remotely make it so
Legitimate Republicans are dragged down immensely by this kind of nonsense. You are not doing your country any favors. We need a strong 2-party system to be healthy, but too many on the right have gone off the rails, leaving just one voteable side left. Get yourself together, man!
no let them go on like this
its pathetic and a sure thing for 8 yrs of Hillary
Jeb and Rubio on Iraq .......... well um yes we should have and .....:142smilie
The party?s core is dying off by the day.
Since the average Republican is significantly older than the average Democrat, far more Republicans than Democrats have died since the 2012 elections. To make matters worse, the GOP is attracting fewer first-time voters. Unless the party is able to make inroads with new voters, or discover a fountain of youth, the GOP?s slow demographic slide will continue election to election. Actuarial tables make that part clear, but just how much of a problem for the GOP is this?
Since it appears that no political data geek keeps track of voters who die between elections, I took it upon myself to do some basic math. And that quick back-of-the-napkin math shows that the trend could have a real effect in certain states, and make a battleground states like Florida and Ohio even harder for the Republican Party to capture.
By combining presidential election exit polls with mortality rates per age group from the U.S. Census Bureau, I calculated that, of the 61 million who voted for Mitt Romney in 2012, about 2.75 million will be dead by the 2016 election. President Barack Obama?s voters, of course, will have died too?about 2.3 million of the 66 million who voted for the president won?t make it to 2016 either. That leaves a big gap in between, a difference of roughly 453,000 in favor of the Democrats.

You are an unmistakable idiot of the highest magnitude, truly the genuine article. It's been close to 8 years now and you still hang on to the same stupid shit. You keep searching now, it's right around the corner you dumb ass.
IMO, it's those who have an unwavering support for either of these two major parties that are the poster boys of the feeble minded. From what I've read around here to date, you, Ray and that Skul guy represent the three stooges of conservatism.
And for the record I am a registered independent .
And Jaxx-off, as usual, manages to make the dumbest post of the the thread....
You win the prize Jaxx-O. Dumbest sonofabitch here. :142smilie
Strange that you only notice my posts. Nothing to lowell about his consistent insults in every thread. After a while I get sick of it and give it right back. However, in that particular post I went the extra mile and i gotta tell ya. .......I feel pretty good about it. Feel free to look up the history of lowell's posts and tally up all the positive things he had brought to any forum. When you get to one let me know.
Hope this helps,
FDC
