I remember telling many people that it did not matter who ran against McCain that no Republican could win. So Republicans nominated McCain/Palin knowing they were sure losers because they knew that the economy could not recover during the next presidential cycle. This was the only way to shift blame for the economy to the Democrats who just pushed forward the same Wall Street economic theory of corporate governance where the corporation needs supersedes the peoples needs. The real problem is that the "party" controls the agenda and the Republican and Democratic Partys are bought and paid for by corporations.

What do you think?

I totally agree. The Republican part threw the electionon '08, Palin in the proof. They are going to do it again in 2012. That way they can blame everything that is aleady in the works for America, on the Dems and win in 2016.

I don't know about the 2008 election, but I honestly believe that neither party wants to win the 2012 election. Maybe, come January 20, 2013, we will get lucky and nobody will show up at the inauguration to get sworn in.

Of course they threw the election. It's not good practice to elect a very old man who has little personality with yellow teeth who picks a running mate no one has even heard of. Sure they threw the election. That's why they didn't bother vetting BO good enough before the election. The repubs didn't want to take the heat. The only other conclusion is they are morons, but that term is reserved for the Dems who elected the corrupt gangster community organizer.

So if you win it's rigged, and if you lose it's rigged? I think this is more about personal prejudices than actual true politics. I neither agree with nor support either side, but arguing for the sake of arguing? About things none of us can prove? Come off it guys.

Interesting theory: No substance or underlying support. So the Republicans simply threw all that money away, and decided to loose to win another day? I would have spent far less if I knew I were going to loose and saved it for 2012, but they did spend the money didn't they?
He we go again. It's the "Lets blame someone else game". I saw a report today that said that ATF started their shenanigans 10 years ago. Well I want some kind of support for that. Not a single letter of proof either way. My share of the national debt just went up 35,000 more dollars this month. uh that is how much it has gone up during Obamas watch. Instead of trying to find someone else to blame for all the garbage, why can't they just sack it up and leave it at the curb. We need our country back, and blame games do nothing.

You may have just hit the nail on the head.

What better way to "rob a bank" than to have a built in patsy ready to take the fall?

I think the first few months of the next president's term will get very interesting very fast.

... or very smart to let B.O. take the heat.....hummmmmmmmmmmm
he is an easy target......heck I wish he were more conservative so we could look somewhere else.....but he is such an easy target. The repubs are smart and have been doing this for a long time.Of course the dems are quite astute too........think about it. just think about it.

So Bush and Company looted the treasury then burned the house down to cover their tracks. Obama takes office sees the place has been looted and then torched and decides to loot the treasury twice as fast since the house is on fire already. I think I see what this means for the next president.

Ron Paul 2012. Ron gets to put out the fire and close the federal reserve and pay down the debt. All the while the looters will keep looting and it will get blamed on Ron and the Tea Party.

Do you people not understand that all of these things are orchestrated by people that people like us don't even know exist? Let alone, have that much power, they're the string pullers. The people we see are only faces for pr, distractions more or less. To fix the problems we have to find the roots. And kill them, metaphorically of course, to kill a weed, you pull the plant you can see, and the roots out of the ground. And burn it, metaphorically of course.
