I have no idea, nor which party will win, but she can do no worse than this abysmal excuse of a president has been.

She ?
In politics, the ways to aggravate a situation are numerous. You may be a supragenious pianist but if you have to play on a honky tonk ...

Even Mulder's looking forward to the end of the hysterical liberal.

OK--I guess that's wishful thinking!

I wonder if anyone thinks that Bush's term coming to an end will really solve any of our country's serious problems...

Islamic extremism will continue, outsourcing will continue, the cost of living will keep going up, wages continue to stagnate, stupid laws continue to be passed or kept, oil consumption and gas prices will continue to rise, immigration will still be an issue, social security and medicare will still be huge issues, and we will still be stuck with the same bunch of boneheads running our country. In short the nightmare will continue.

I can understand why some of my peers (teenagers) would think Bush's administration is the Evil End All, because this was our first turn 'round the political bus and its all they've been hearing since 2000...But most of the diehard Libs around here have been through many presidents and administrations...

I guess I'm just whacky.

Mulder, Mitt Romney has a very large problem---(read this today in the paper)----He is a Mormon and thus has instantly alienated the Christian base of the Republican party. No, its going to be a re-packaged McCain or Giuliani--thats the only way they win.

His obstacle is the evangelical base—a voting bloc that now makes up 30 percent of the Republican electorate and that wields particular influence in primary states like South Carolina and Virginia. Just as it is hard to overestimate the importance of evangelicalism in the modern Republican Party, it is nearly impossible to overemphasize the problem evangelicals have with Mormonism. Evangelicals don’t have the same vague anti-LDS prejudice that some Americans do. For them it’s a doctrinal thing, based on very specific theological disputes that can’t be overcome by personality or charm or even shared positions on social issues. Romney’s journalistic boosters either don’t understand these doctrinal issues or try to sidestep them. But ignoring them won’t make them go away. To evangelicals, Mormonism isn’t just another religion. It’s a cult. [...]

Evangelical Christians consider Mormonism a threat in a way that Catholicism and even Judaism are not. The LDS Church, they charge, has perverted Christian teachings to create a false religion. As John L. Smith, a Southern Baptist who runs Utah Mission—an organization that tries to convert Mormons—told Christianity Today: “Mormonism is either totally true or totally false. If it’s true, every other religion in America is false.” To be tolerant of Mormonism is to put evangelical Christianity at risk. And to put a Mormon in the White House would be to place a stamp of approval on that faith.

In theory, a person’s religion shouldn’t matter very much — but it’s ironic that Romney’s own party has made religion a central issue in political campaigns, and that’s what would most likely stand in the way of his political future:

All of this leaves Romney in a real pickle. Thus far, he’s tried to follow in the tradition of other Massachusetts politicians and “pull a John Kennedy,” declaring personal faith irrelevant to his qualifications for office. This is a nonstarter. We live in a political era in which, thanks largely to Republicans, candidates are virtually required to talk openly about their religious views. There is no way a Republican, especially in a GOP primary, can avoid the issue—if for no other reason than the press won’t let them.

It’s only because he lives in a generally liberal state, I suspect, that has allowed him to progress as far as he has. Romney is the sort of conservative candidate who can appeal to a broad range of voters — he says things that appeal to traditional conservatives but he doesn’t say thing that make moderates imagine that he is an extremist (even if they disagree with him). The evangelical choke-hold on the Republican Party, though, ensures that no one outside their religious circles stands much of a chance getting the GOP nomination for President.

Typical Mulderism. Since he is the center of the universe and he is not bothered by religion no one else is

Yes, but he's not strongly religious and also, he appeals to the the less liberal Democratic base--he was elected Governor in Masschusetts for God Sakes. He will make up whatever Christian vote he loses with moderate Democrats such as yourself. I can't see you voting for Hillary--or any reasonably minded Democrat for that matter.

I'm at the center of your TSG universe--that much is for sure. I don't think you spend a day here without using my name!
