For Obama to be re-elected, he must become a conservative....

[Barbella]

Looks like in the three years since he became POTUS in the first place, more Americans have turned to the right....hmmm....interesting.

"Political ideology in the U.S. held steady in 2011, with 40% of Americans continuing to describe their views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% as liberal. This marks the third straight year that conservatives have outnumbered moderates, after more than a decade in which moderates mainly tied or outnumbered conservatives."

Barbella, if 40% are conservative.....why wouldn't he appeal to the SIXTY percent who aren't???

 

[worldlymrb]

And a Christian too.;.

 

[Barbella]

Assuming the moderates swing 50/50, he'd "appeal" to roughly 38%?

 

[GordonGecko]

Barbie, in the data YOU just cited....60% of Americans DON'T want to be labelled "conservative".

Why would the President want to "become" part of 40%?!?!?

 

[Barbella]

And 79% DON'T want to be labelled "liberal".

Barbella, if 40% are conservative.....why wouldn't he appeal to the SIXTY percent who aren't???

Because half of them are moderates.

Obama will morph into a smooth talking hope & change charlatan - he will run like he is a man that has never been president - and will fool his supporters once again. His ever trusty and reliable cheap vote Block Voters who enjoy 16% to 45% unemployment will say "Mo Food Stamps, Puleeeze."

 

[GordonGecko]

And 79% DON'T want to be labelled "liberal".

But YOU said he "must become a conservative"...didn't say anything about "moderate".

So again...by the data YOU cited, you want him to join the ....FORTY percent?!?!?

 

[GordonGecko]

Because half of them are moderates.

Lukey, read Barbella's Subject line again....and the ideological label she used.

PJCons sure loved them some Gallup.
