[Pressing-On]

People want something to stand FOR. I don't believe given a consistent candidate with a well laid out plan, that people wouldn't prefer the dignity of a job. Where we stand and with what both candidates had to offer, Obama offered the cushion for uncertain times.

This is the reality.

Obama's path to to victory went straight through the republican primaries

As the candidates whittled away at each other, tripping over their own gaffes, flip flops, and past indiscretions, there was one with a record of consistency, a small government, constitution loving, family man. The GOP would not nominate him.

When the dust cleared there were two men left standing to compete for the chance to compete with president Obama. One of those men agreed with Obama on almost every issue: The drug wars, the drone attacks, NDAA, the so called patriot act, Keynesian economics, the morality of taxation and the effectiveness of central planning. The other offered such a stark contrast to Obama, that Democrats were forming groups to support him. He had the young vote, the antiwar vote, the military vote, all key demographics that led to Obama’s reelection, but the GOP did not nominate Ron Paul, They nominated Mitt Romney, and Obama won the election on that day.
