It's an open thread, so you can talk about whatever you want.
But, yes, that’s the general consensus. I’m not aware of anybody who actually likes the guy.

He's more tolerated than liked.
Conservatives like to pretend that most of the country is conservative, but in fact most of the country is comprised of moderates.
Can say the same of any group
But just because he’s more moderate doesn’t mean he’s a better choice, just means he’s more of an asshat if anything the lying prick.

But what's considered is exactly what's wrong
Weve had a string of Neo-cons in office since Reagan, how the hell are Neo-Cons electable?
People are to busy with the electable guy, that they forget that’s not the point of a democracy. Vote for who you want, not the “winning” vote because no vote is ever wasted.

The GOP are the ones
who have made the last three years about doing whatever they can to get Obama out of office, above all else. So it only follows that Republicans are going to vote for the guy they think gives them the best chance of doing that.
Except that's what's ruining this country
Time and time again both sides of the aisle, besides a select few, have shown that they don’t give two shits about the people and work towards their own goals and cowing to the highest bidder. They’re all apart of the greenback party
It’s just sad really, partisan politics is such a horse crap. Divide and conquer is just way to effective a strategy.

He is no longer "my elected official" and I can't stand him still.
At least there is Yarmouth in KY…. he came to Occupy Louisville Saturday… Accepted an award for proposing a bill to fight the Citizens United case.

Disagree.
As an Alabama resident, my vote essentially does not count. I still vote for whoever I want, but my state will always be red. The electoral college is a joke, IMO.

You must have missed this, Tark.
I can’t stand Romney.
by bossmanham on Jan 16, 2012 9:40 PM CST up reply actions 1 recs
I think because people think he's the most electable, and conservatives think he's 'conservative enough'.
Which just drives groupthink that is the American electorate. I think he’s more of the same.
Why would he be the most electable
if most people are conservatives?
Polls don’t mean much when it comes to labels, because the GOP has done a great job of demonizing the term liberal, and propping up the term conservative. But people don’t actually vote for labels. They vote for ideas and policy positions. A lot of people aren’t near as conservative as they think, when it comes down to the issues. Similarly, a lot of people are liberal, but since it’s become a dirty word, they don’t actually call themselves that.
Well 35% do identify as moderates. That is a lot.
I think the term liberal is demonized because it’s modern association is with European socialism and Marxism. I’d say that’s pretty justified if people don’t like that stuff.
But gallup doesn’t say there, and I’m not trying to give the electorate any more credit than they deserve. I think far too many people are too apathetic and politically and philosophically ignorant. there isn’t a lot of deep thought in things like this. That’s why group think rules politics.
I follow politics closely, but I'm to the left of the Democrats, so I have no horse in this race.
But my understanding is that most people support Romney because he has the best chance to beat Obama.
by wustl_chiefs_fan on Jan 16, 2012 9:41 PM CST up reply actions
No its because he's making the 2nd most money in the election
He’s the corporations candidate therefore most electable, you’re not a moderate if you continuously flip flop on every issue over years and in front of different audiences. If anything he’s nothing more than just a liar.
Me and Matt Cassel just - you up, dog!
by ChiefWarPaint on Jan 16, 2012 9:46 PM CST up reply actions
Yes he is a liar
just like the “most transparent” president of all time, Obama.
by Snicklefritz on Jan 16, 2012 9:49 PM CST up reply actions
It's a good point about money.
But still, if people are truly conservative, they’re not going to vote for the money. They’re going to vote for someone who shares their conservative values closest.
But that gets thrown out the window
Because people are to worried about wasting a vote to vote for who they want., conservatives usually vote within the Repub party and that doesn’t ever change, writing in is considered a waste.
Fun Fact: the last 5 presidents just happened to be the ones who made/spent the most money on the way to the election.
Me and Matt Cassel just - you up, dog!
by ChiefWarPaint on Jan 16, 2012 10:17 PM CST up reply actions
That's a circular argument.
You’re saying Romney is more electable because people are voting for him because he’s more electable, because people are voting for him because he’s more electable, because…
Pretty much sums it up
I didn’t say American politics or people were very logical
Me and Matt Cassel just - you up, dog!
by ChiefWarPaint on Jan 17, 2012 12:51 AM CST up reply actions
Yeah, but I still don't really don't understand why.
I never will understand why Huntsman didn’t gain traction. He’s basically a more likeable and more consistent version of Romney.
by wustl_chiefs_fan on Jan 16, 2012 9:48 PM CST up reply actions
Because he's Romney cousin

TE
i’m hoping TE dwayne allen is still available in the second round so we can draft him. we need TE depth and matt cassel needs another safety valve.
I leave for Cabo tomorrow
5 days of drinking, eating, drinking, eating and drinking are ahead. Wife and I and two friends are going to an all-inclusive resort till Sunday.
Hopefully there’s football talk on AP when we get back.

Thoughts on KC Star article...
Anyone else think that maybe Haley is right and all this weird secrecy/actions or am I just still hanging on to the thought of our (former) head coach?
by VeNoM911 on Jan 16, 2012 9:58 PM CST reply actions 1 recs
Yeah
RAC looks comfortable and poised while Haley looked like blind cigarette at a weeney roast. The fact that RAC changed the QB depth chart and THEN told Pioli shows exactly.
by Casey Byron Adkins on Jan 16, 2012 10:09 PM CST up reply actions
And said all that without being asked.
Even when there was some question about Orton’s health, instead of acting like he was so afraid of the Packers that he would keep it a secret, he named Orton the starter early in the week, and look what happened. Haley was all about the mind games, instead of just lining up and beating people.
read emails, check phone logs from office and being completely hardasses in workplace? Yes
Planting bugs? No.

Need to Sign Hue As OC
I heard that Hue is in St. Louis interviewing for the OC, Romeo needs to offer Hue the OC job. We seen how Hue turn the Raiders offense around, just imagine what he could do with Bowe Baldwin, Charles ,McCluster Cassel and Moekia.
Give him the job before all the good OC are gone !!!
