"What Happens to Democrats If Obama Loses?" The 100% socialist, big government-loving Democrats will watch as the big government-loving RINOs also continue to destroy our nation and perpetuate the welfare/warfare/Police State at perhaps a slightly slower rate than the Democrats would have wanted. Unless the voters get rid of both Democrats & RINOs, not much will really improve, the government won't shrink, the budget won't balance, the debt will rise & financial Armageddon will continue to approach.

"The OODA loop (for observe, orient, decide, and act) is a concept originally applied to the combat operations process... It is now also often applied to understand commercial operations and learning processes." -Wikipedia Yep, team Obama is clueless as to what to do to help this nation economically (either that or they are PURPOSELY trying to financially destroy this nation).

1. "The Keynesian government-spending model has proven a complete failure." Yes, but that hasn't stopped big government from trying more of the same since creation of the Fed in 1913. As debt levels rise, more stimulus spending in times of economic downturns benefit less & less until more spending causes more harm than good. We are at that point now of more harm, not help. The best solution now is cutting spending (not increasing spending) to balance the budget asap to halt the rising debt levels. 2. "Where’s the corporate tax reform that would lower rates and broaden the base and end the double-taxation of the overseas profits of American companies?" Yes, that would help enormously also.

Everyone instinctively knows the economy is not good & most realize the trillions of dollars spent by Obama were wasted with little or no real benefit. Obama grows the government, which is inherently inefficient & counter-productive. Central planning doesn't work. Free markets & less government regulations work. But the problem is the 50% of voters who now get more back out of the government than what they put into it. They keep voting for bigger government & more welfare. The system is in a death spiral downwards. It will probably crash & burn before big Statist politicians (from both the D & R Parties) change their policies... then they will blame the voters for making them ruin the system... and they would be right!

I used to think that the government was primarily interested in protecting us. Nope. The government is interested primarily in gaining more power & control over us UNDER THE GUISE OF PROTECTING US!! We have a totally out-of-control, Unconstitutional government gobbling up about 25% of GDP & THEY WANT MORE MONEY, MORE POWER!! We need to go back to a small federal Government that averaged only spending 3% of GDP, like at our outset as a nation. Pursue a foreign policy of NON-INTERFERENCE (not isolationism!), guard our borders & free markets (not crony capitalism).

"Does Anyone Still Like Obama?" <--- Yes, most of the nearly 50% of voters who now get more out of the government than they put into it. They are totally selfish creatures wanting to live off the hard work of others & wanting... no EXPECTING... free lunches, but they care not if everyone else sinks down to their level when the economy implodes from unsustainable debt. One more factor: Romney & the Establishment GOP. They are also for welfare/warfare/Police Statism. So not much of a real alternative for conservatives to vote for, except that he might not be as bad as Obama. Not much enthusiasm there for change either.

Ann is correct. The GOP was more concerned with getting Establishment Romney the nomination & organizing for their convention than in taking the Democrats & unions in Wisconsin. Yes, the Tea Parties are taking it seriously, as they are the true conservatives in the GOP. But the Establishment GOP is also for more big government of only a slightly different flavor than the Democrats. So they are not particularly motivated by what might happen to small government reformer Scott Walker. I've donated multiple times to help Walker, but not a dime to Romney & the Establishment "Statists" in the GOP! Down with the corrupt part of the GOP!

"Jonah Goldberg’s Good Advice for the GOP: Confess Your Spending Sins and Repent" <--- Correct! But I don't think it's in Romney or the GOP Establishment to do that. Ron Paul has been sounding the trumpet to the GOP Establishment to slash spending, balance the budget in 3 years, shrink government & they hate his guts! Both the D & R Political Parties still want to "buy votes" by growing government & making an ever bigger welfare/warfare/Police State. Both the D & R Political Parties are heading us quickly to bankruptcy.

"2012: Good Money (And Jobs) vs. Easy Money (And Stagnation)" <--- As the article correctly points out, the GOP was complicit in this disaster of moving towards "Easy Money" (paper money backed by nothing & printed out of thin air). BUT THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST 1 GOP VOICE WARNING OF THE DIRE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS: Ron Paul. His "liberty movement" & push for "Good Money" (backed by gold/silver) is finally gaining traction after 30 years of campaigning for the same issues that include an audit of the Federal Reserve & a return to "sound money". Even so, the Establishment GOP ignores or dismisses him to their shame and they prefer instead to mach the GOP towards extinction, like the Whig Party.

Very well put Rhcrest! I believe the US Supreme Court needs to make a definitive ruling on this issue of what is a "natural born" citizen... to accept the implied definition of the Founding Fathers or something else. On top of that, the Supreme Court should make it mandatory to provide original documentation that can be verified as to where a candidate for POTUS was born (not just some computer generated image that can easily be forged). Bryon York & any "conservative" who does not demand this is clueless and disgusts me as we continue to allow the trashing of the Constitution!!
