Lets just review a few of your stories, shall we?

The old Republican strut about military and international competence sounds pretty lame, now with Bin Laden dead, Jihadism on the ropes and the Clinton foreign policy on the ascendant. "Leading from Behind" apparently gets results.

As for the economy, that assessment primarily depends on who you favor a priori anyway.
The Obama economy may not be in as good a shape as we'd like, but its still in a lot better shape than when the Republicans left it, and it is getting better, no matter how much they deny it. And people who are still working and still paying their mortgage (the majority) at least still have their head above water. They are already showing signs of cold feet over changing horses in mid stream, again.

The GOP is only promising Big Changes, and folks are starting to come to the realization they might just deliver, to our collective despair. The ongoing failure of austerity measures to kick start the European economy is going to be a poor talking point to argue for in a slowly recovering stimulus economy.

The GOP has damaged itself irreparably in a ludicrous campaign for the nomination, one that has divided the party so that even those worthwhile policies they do offer up are now relegated to the despised and diminished "moderates", while the radical right has only succeeded in terrifying the Independent political center with a campaign of obstruction, bullying and hatred that puts ideological purity over the national welfare. And they have only succeeded in nominating someone they themselves cannot stomach. How can an anti-intellectual party that has botched its own political process be trusted to deal with the subtleties of the real world? North Carolina and West Virginia Democrats are DINOs. Do you really want to cast your lot with hillbilly bigots and religious fanatics?

And finally, Obamacare. If the Conservative campaign to destroy it succeeds, and control of the nation's health is once again in the hands of the insurance industry and Big Pharma, the inevitable rise in medical costs and the increasing dysfunction in the nation's health care system will only be blamable on the Right. In fact, from a purely political point of view, a Supreme Court dismantling of Obamacare will be a godsend to the Democrats. They won't be forced to try to make it work against constant sabotage, and they'll be able to yell "I told you so" for a generation.

In every other debate dear to conservatives, the increase in production and slowing of consumption of energy, reduction of illegal immigration and increase in deportation of illegals, women's issues, the Latino vote, there have been ongoing success stories from the Obama administration. And yet, these are precisely where the Republicans have chosen to challenge the incumbent administration.

TB, this election is the last gasp, the last hurrah for jingoism, chauvinism and savagery in this country. They might yet win, its now just a battle betwen our PACs and theirs, but heaven help us all if they do. First they came for the liberals, then for the RINOs, then for the moderates...It will only be a matter of time before they come after you too, TB.
