How badly will the Republican party do this fall in Federal Elections?

Asked By: Jasmine J - 10/12/2008
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
The real question?
How badly, will the US economy, and the job market take a beating, when the socialists win?
Look, even now, rich people, and for that matter, anyone with more than $250,000 in annual income, are moving their assets to offshore accounts.
Why? To protect against the possibility of increases in capitol gains taxes, and for that matter, increases in income taxes.
Corporations, are for the most part, multinational, and to keep their earnings, many CEOs, will just get paid in other currency, to keep their income safe from the socialist leanings and intentions of the democrats.
How will this support Universal Health Care?
It won't.
The tab for the massive 1.4 trillion dollar annual cost of this program, will have to be paid by the John smiths, and Mary Kays of the US, in the form of a tax increase of at least $30,000 dollars a year.
Of course, people who have been groomed to feel entitled to things they haven't earned, through decades of disgusting socialist policies, HUD, welfare, food stamps etc., look at it, as though they will get an even bigger windfall of benefits, that they actually think they deserve, just because they exist.
The United States, is turning from the principle of the founding fathers-life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, to a new mantra,
life, economic stifling, and the right to everything!
What stupid democrats, fail to realize, is this, socialism, does not work.
Once you foist more socialist policies upon the hard working people, so that the lazy can enjoy the American dream, without the efforts that make the American dream, what it is, you kill any and all motivation to try.
Why should I be a competent person, when it has been legislated, that I am entitled to everything, just because I exist?
Why would anyone try?
Why would any entrepreneur, hang out their shingle, in a market that makes him, as the creative force, the innovative force, the enemy, just because he has a good idea?

Many of you here, would benefit by reading the book "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand.
It drives home the point, of the lunacy, of socialism, and that without the rich people, without the people who develop the innovative things, that make life better, you have nothing, but a third world morass.

You never know, but I get the feeling Obama's got the election in the bag. :D
Answered By: K. R. T - 10/12/2008
Not as bad as all of us are going to do in the next 4 years (no matter who wins the Presidential election).

In the end, there won't be a winner, just 300 million losers who will pay the consequences of a corrupt government.

People booed McCain at his rally Friday.
John McCain has no strategy for ANYTHING these days so the only thing he can do is criticize Barack Obama and say a bunch of lies about him. And if you pay attention at a debate you notice McCain writing things down in a notepad while Obama is answering a question, then the same question comes to him and you notice that he says the exact same thing!

Sarah Palin is pretty much an idiot, she cannot answer a question at all, all she does is criticizes her opponents and talks about her history. Ask her what is her favorite color and you will get a long irrelevant answer.

No one believes in the Republicans anymore and they are cautious about veterans becoming politicians, and people have finally figured out that Bush is a Republican and The White House was ran by Republicans and because of that we are here in this crappy situation.

Celebrities for Obama, Media making fun of Palin. Obama is leading the polls by 11 Points. The polls look like this McCain 42?bama 53?hey have looked like this for about two months.

Republicans have no chance, they can say what they want to say about Democrats but we have already realized that they are a bunch of liars and they are the lap dogs of big business.

So it's safe to say "Goodbye Republicans! Make sure Satan doesn't pull you into hell on the way out!"

Hopefully bad enough to distinguish the fact that there are a lot of ugly poor people in this country that hate smart, rich and atttractive people such as myself and sarah Palin. I feel special and I feel proud that I'm not one in the masses!
Answered By: world traveler - 10/12/2008
Probably badly.
But just wait till the questions turn to Obama when he doesn't meet his words.

How badly will Obama as president?

But since Obama supporters are brainwashed, they only see it ONE way.
"Obama will CHANGE the world and all will be well. I will enjoy my monthly handouts."
Answered By: Andrew - 10/12/2008
Not as badly as the press make out, thats for sure but it aint lookin good right now! I never thought I would say this but I would rather have Hillary over Obama any day - at least you know what you'd be getting people! As the previous person has said, dont vote on who sounds the best until you have checked out his credentials. No crucial decision should ever be made on feelings check out the facts and then vote for whoever you believe will make changes (whoever that may be).
Answered By: skylarcherry - 10/12/2008
I have a hunch that the Republican's are going to do a three-house sweep.

The responsibility for this financial crisis lands exactly on their shoulders. Word will get out before the election as to just how much.

It will also become more clear to people that the programs and policies of the Democrats will do everything possible to make this crisis last as long as possible, not end it.

NOBAMA - keep the change.
Answered By: peter.jungmann - 10/12/2008
Pretty poorly - it could be a landslide.

But as frightening as an Obama Presidency is, the really scary thing is a Nancy Pelosi House plus 61 Democratic Senators with a Democrat in the White House.

If that does happen - and I predict it will - the only silver lining is things will go so badly, that the voters will put the Republicans back in control of Congress in the 2010 mid-terms.
Answered By: PAULO - 10/12/2008
Most conservative talking heads that are no longer trying to pretend that everything is going perfect are saying that its over now...they will lose the presidency and may lose 10 seats, potentially 12 in the house

people have stopped donating funds now as they see its a waste

it will be a smackdown that will force the republicans to reinvent themself if they ever want to get back in power. they have now a horrible track record to live up to.

the proof is in...
Dems in control = good economy, world respect.
Reps in control = record debts, world disgust.

cry as they may, that is the cold hard facts of 2 long term republican terms and to date 1 long term democrat term...

love those pesky facts that anger the few knuckledraggers that are left.
luckily they arent on today, as they are at church
Answered By: UniversalAnswers - 10/12/2008
Not so badly.
Many people still do not believe in a semi white capability.
They will get to the voting boot and change their mind to vote for McCain.
Obama could have been double digit ahead if he were all white.
They say he is black forgetting he has 50/50 white and black blood and was raised by white grand Ma/Pa.
So much hatred and denigration for a black man that anything he touches is regarded as black.
Blacks fail to love themselves in a true sense of that word.
Just look at their African leaders who loot and run to places like USA/BRITAIN ETC.
What a shame.
Let us hope there will be enough wiser racially tolerable American to vote OBAMA for a change.
Answered By: asuku t - 10/12/2008
The Republicans will get their -ss kicked because the American People have realized that what the neo-cons have done is bring this great country to it's knees.

Enough about how the rich should be protected and how the poor don't do anything. They have screwed both. With a failed war that has cost us billions of dollars. The very thing we are supposedly fighting for has been taken from us by our own government. Freedom!

So today I went in for an interview and I was going in for the 2nd interview by the head chief executive. now this is where it got weird, so she asked me about my previous jobs and said how much she liked that product over that product. then she started talking about her daughter? an her divorce ...then how she didn't finish college because she was making more money doing what she did for this company ... then she talked about how her teenage daughter is a handful... I just played it cool thinking she was using some sort of psychology thing to trick me into saying something stupid. the interview ended and she seemed happy an I was escorted to the door... now I'm freaking confused? is this normal behavior for an executive? like it felt like she was going to burst into tears at one point and tell me her life problems... is this normal? was she trying to see how I react or something?

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

Recently I have overlooked for a project at work and I am unable to accept it why? I am hard working, dedicated, maintain a very professional decorum, very cordial with my colleagues and bosses, give respect to one and all. Still people who take the p***, argue with managers, gossip mongers have been selected for some very responsible positions at work. I seriously can't get my head around it why, why unprofessional people who have no work ethics being selected over me, whereas I have a track record of excellent performance and never shy away from any work my manager ask me to do? I am at my lowest point and not getting hold of my manager to ask the question why not me, why them who can't even bother? I am feeling like a complete loser, giving years to this place, building my performance, trust and this is how I get rewarded. Why my life is so shit, anything I wish for turns to dust?

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!

I am currently a 1st year irregular college student taking I.T. I transferred schools and my majors never got credited. But it's okay because i am slowly getting the logics in programming in Java. This next semester i am taking a System Analysis and Design(SADSIGN) and i am getting nervous because even though i am pretty good at logics, i am not that good at coding. But since it is a case study, we will be on group, we will be four i think. Project manager, Analyst, Documentation, and the programmer. I am asking what jobs i can get after graduating I.T. because what if i graduated I.T. and still not that good at coding, i am hoping that there will be a jobs that will require less programming. Like Database manager or in Multimedia or in charge of Network. So is there jobs that doesn't require hardcore programming skills?
