Obama losing against generic Republican presidential opponent

...but winning against every "major" potential opponent.

What to make of this? The American public dislikes actual Republicans more than the idea of Republicans?
 
I feel bad for Ron Paul doing barely better than Palin.

I liked Huckabee last time, would like to see him at least run in 2012. Optimistic by the fact that he did better than all "real" factors in this, but Obama did best against him outside of Bush, Palin, and Newt
 
there are a lot of people who have conservative ideals (even some of the far leftys on this forum have openly said they agree with some conservative principals). but, as we all know, the repubican party has been anything but conservative the last dozen years or so. its not surprising that a no-name-ideal-candidate would poll better than obama (barely). whereas, when you actually start putting names in there people, knowing their reputations, would become hesitant.
 
How could a Republican, or even a Democrat, vote for Romney for anything at this point? The guy has flip flopped on almost every issue he addressed in MA.
 
Is Ron Paul the only one on that list that isn't currently employed by FOX News?

Looks like they're trying to become de facto kingmakers.
 
As others have stated, the concept is more appealing than the product.

It is like pictures of fast food or restaurant food. That shit looks great. Then, you realize somebody with gang tattoos and an inability to spell or use soap was just touching your food without gloves.

Just to address this before batshits do, Knoell, this is NOT racist.
 
My very first job was at a Burger King when I was 14.

I worked with an ex-con named Don who claimed to be allergic to soap.

About all I remembered was that the training videos were fucking deadly hilarious.

Someone ask John "I never said I was a Maverick" McCain.

Um, Palin polls ahead of Paul, look at it again.

And Huckabee is a bigoted scumbag.

The problem for the Republicans is that they have no individual candidate who can appeal broadly to voters at this point. If they expect to seriously challenge in 2012, they need to either find someone outside the main (underwhelming) contenders right now or hope Obama's approval ratings tank even more than they have over the past year, in which case even a loser like Huckabee could luck into it.

For a second there I thought you were going to treat us to a limerick. Its not too late.

I'd also like to see what Strell could do with this.
 
I once worked with Chiffon Don,
a criminal with soap aversion,
But between his sighs,
He, I quickly theorized,
Feared dropping it near a fleshy python.
 
What the polls are probably showing are independents aren't that happy with Obama right now which explains the overall results, but when put against specific possible candidates they realize he's the lesser of two evils so he comes out ahead.

I don't see him losing in 2012 unless some things take a major down turn and his approval rankings really tank. But as long as we're out of Iraq, mostly out of Afghanistan, the economy continues it's steady recovery he should be fine. And the republican likely candidates just aren't very attractive to moderates, independents etc.

:rofl: the boys got talent!
 
I've always wondered why if we're supposed to be the United States of America why we have different political parties who bash the hell out of each other. Instead of one united political party that has different people with different views who still bash the hell out of each other.
 
I worked at the King with a "Don"
A horrifically smelly ex-con
An allergy to soap
Is the reason I hope
But why is he so "hands-on"?

A lotta posts in the time it took me to crank that one out too...I just don't have that raw talent.

:applause: Bravo Sir!
 
Have at you, SpazX!

I washed dishes with a man named Don,
Years before to prison he'd gone,
It was no question he bore
a soap allergy score
You know why - think manly tampon.
 
Oh mysterious new cellmate named Don,
Won't you please be my paisan?
No soap I will use
And my lotions - peruse!
Prepare for my lower pylon!
 
Fun times at BK with Don
My soap-fearing companion
He got an erection
During fry preparation
Forever my innocence gone

(This one ends with myke only implicitly being molested)
 
strange was the man they called Don
he grew lonely as his lock-up wore on
he met with a sheik
and down his left cheek
hey! who spilled the grey poupon?
 
I wonder what would happen if they ran the numbers with McCain, Cheney or Bush (yeah, I know that can't happen).

Ron Paul is the only one on that list I'd vote for. If the Republican party seriously runs Palin in 2012, then I'll cry.

It'd never happen, but I'd seriously love to see Herman Cain run in 2012.
 
The Burgerking's mask gives me a chill,
Equal parts horror and thrill,
Did you know it's based on
an ex-con named Don?
He shudders at the word "refill."

You don't really want only one political party, do you? That's what they have in totalitarian countries. The answer is not a single political party, but NO political parties. Political parties are a source of corruption and power lust.

Us versus sometimes need play
Instead of bickering each day
So let's tell dick jokes
In lieu of bluster and smoke
Lord knows it's the American way

The number one issue to Americans right now is Jobs/economy. If Obama doesn't stop going down his checklist of items he thinks are more important and start focusing on the number one issue to Americans, he will very quickly become a one term president.
 
When you are sitting in the drive thru,
Ordering fries and what have you,
For Don you should ask,
He's up to the task,
Handles knives like I handle haiku.

When at BK here's a tip,
This knowledge you should equip,
The milkshakes aren't bland
They're mykevermin brand
He's watching you take a long sip.
 
If your going to challenge Strell
who does humor and whimsy quite well
bring your "A" game
or deal with the shame
of your sure and inevitable fail
 
Strell is a master of mirth
With trite quips of political worth
But indeed he is not staid
About the mothers he's laid
Nor his incredibly massive girth
 
while flipping burgers with Don
I noticed no pants he had on
he gave me a drink
it was drugged methinks
now the sound when I fart is gone
 
Meet Governor Romney the Mormon
Hates on Obama who can't pronounce 'corpsman'
'i heart recounts' he'll pout
while 'lettin dogs out'
he'll become 2012's coleman norman.
