What strategy will the GOP use in the 2012 election?
With all indicators saying the economy will start to bounce back within a year, and the gradual withdrawal from Iraq, the Dems. will be in pretty good shape in 2012. Like it or not, the Dems, will take credit for a better economy, and the pullout of Iraq. All the Dems will need to do is shore up the appearance of the deficit, and they will have a trifecta. This being said, what strategy will the GOP use to compete with this?
Assuming no major stumbles by Obama, the GOP will be reduced to personal attacks and appeals to the Christian-right base.
Which failed miserably in 2008.
Honestly, right now, with the shambles the GOP is in, I’m wondering if they’re going to be a viable party in 2012.
All they have is Joe the Plumber/Palin.
I hate to break it to you, but our economy will never come back with the HUGE deficit that has been put upon us………….
Strategy??? I wish any party would just be honest with us. Tell us like it is, what they believe we ALL should do to improve things. I am sick and tired of the false campaignings, the lies, the untruths or what is not said. I just want an honest to goodness person who truly cares about this country, its’ direction, OUR CONSITUTION/FREED
OMS/LIBERTIES & SOVEREIGNTY.
They’ll just whine about how Palin has to campaign wearing a burqa…
The ONLY reason the economy is not crashing is that the dumocrats have only spent about 6% of the " stimulus". And where is the better economy? approaching 9% unemployment.Just let the full weight of trillions of dollars of debt hit.A trillion dollars would be a stack of 1000.00 bills 110 miles high.In contrast to 7 inches for a million dollars.The only thing the dumacrats are stimulating is there backers. The unions and special interests.
The GOP would be smart not to listen to Powell and other rino’s.Watch the Sean Hannity show tonight at 9:00 eastern time on FOX.Rino’s( republican in name only)have whimpped the GOP down to a minority.It is time to stand up for freedom. Turn this marxist state back to a republic before more damage is done.
What economic indices’s are you reading? The housing market is still in shambles, the banking industry is still not lending, the unemployment is still rising every month. The Auto industry is closing more stores, probably, with the bankruptcies that are underway..which will mean even higher job losses.
We aren’t getting e-verify anytime soon, so those "stimulus jobs" may very well wind up not even going to U.S. citizens……
The Fed is printing money to cover debt, and the U.S. Treasury is borrowing to stay alive. (these two actions alone could take us into hyper-inflation) However, the Fed will wind up having to raise interest rates…which in turn will cut the banks lending even more…..
Who’s telling you things are looking up? Are they paying attention to not only what IS happening, but what is NOT happening?
As for the GOP and it’s strategy…..hopefully they’ll actually get back to being a ‘conservative’ party. Small government, State’s rights, Constitutional rights. LIBERTY……..
Blame.Game.
How about, no more torture and kidnapping children? Then again…
Ask the wizard of GOP politics and dirty ticks Karl Rove. First off use fear to scare the voters. Then there is tried and true issue of gay marriage and threat of gays. They will not come with ways to solve the issues just attack the person running.
Well One thing is for certain is the fact that the democrats walked right over the people to allow gay marriage without as much as letting them vote on it themselves.Not very democratic is it?
