The scary thing for President Obama in regards to 2012, is that he has to try and defend his ACCOMPLISHMENTS...not his failures. He got things done that he said he would, the problem is most of America...atleast right now...don't like those things.

It still feels like its 2008, prior election, Obama hasn't accomplished anything.

Was it intentional for that link to not work?

The forum swear filter removed the f word from between "the" and "has".  Fill it in yourself and it'll work.

You figured that out.  He hasn't yet.

The simple truth is that the super-rich and their executive retainers are fascists who believe that Americans exist only to serve the super-rich even to the extent of the expendability of their lives. Perhaps it even extends to the whole of humanity and not 'only' Americans.

In 2010 they bought an Orwellian ad campaign to attack anyone and anyone liberal, with the intent of filling Congress  with the sorts of robots who would have fit well in the Reichstag between 1933 and 1945 or the old Supreme Soviet of the former USSR. These people want a system better at extracting profits than at serving anyone else. The super-rich number roughly six million people, and the rest of America number 306 million people.

This time it was largely successful. Will it work in 2012? See what I have to say about two years from now. We will see whether the electorate of 2012 is so gullible and perhaps in my case whether I might be advised to leave the US. People like me end up in torture chambers and shooting pits if a brutal regime catches up to them. 

The upcoming struggle will be hard, and it will depend upon (to no small extent) demonstrating that the GOP winners of 2010 have failed Americans even if they succeed at attracting campaign funds -- if such is so.  (Of course if they perform miracles, then that's great for America even if I dislike ultra-conservative ideology).

It won't matter if the Republican candidate is unelectable (see NV Senate 2010 for details).

"Heck" passes most swear filters.

The hard fight the Republicans have is actually coming up with real ideas and not just over the top shouting and theatrics. People aren't going be particularly thrilled with that sort of thing when there are more pressing issue at hand.

They need to actually explain their accomplishments, all the Dems have been able to do is talk about them in the context of the fear campaign from the right.

Take them on, the benefits of the healthcare reforms, the banking reforms for YOU are
-
-
-
-
-

then expand on that to say "if the Republicans get their way, this is what you'll lose", actually call the Republicans on the effect of their repeal plans.
