2012 US General Election Discussions: Start to Finish

AtLast · 08-06-2011, 08:50 AM

I know I am thinking deeply about 2012 and how I will most likely be voting differently- both Aj and Kobi bring up variables I need to consider. I left the Democratic Party prior to 2008 (registered without party affiliation after being registered with the Green Party). I think I have been sobered of late and frankly will vote more for realistic goals than any party platform be as it may re- if a GOP candidate best fits for me, they will get my vote and the same for a Democrat, Green Party, etc. candidate).

Are other people feeling like their 2012 choices will be different?

I'm voting for Obama and my current representatives up for re-election in Congress.....that would be Barbara Lee in the House - I love her. I'm not sure if Feinstein is up for re-election. Boxer was re-elected in 2010.

If we voters deliver a majority in the House and 60 Senators to Obama in 2012, then the Democrats will be forced to listen to their constituents. They will not need any Republicans to pass legislation.

I'm voting for Obama also. He's our homey from Chicago who chilled out in the gay bars with us.

If it looks like this is possible by the time of the election- that there could actually be enough Dems in both Houses to stop all of this partisan crap that goes on without getting things done, I might align with the Dems. The idea of going through more years of how it has been going makes me crazy.

Yes, Feinstein is up for re-election. I will vote for her.

I honestly do have a problem with Obama not getting behind the Simpson-Bowles recomendations back in December. I hope he is makes a whole lot more noise about trade agreements getting done when the Congress reconvenes. Critical for job creation.

Of course Perry lost steam- just like Bachmann, even the GOP can see that he is an idiot!
