CNN Poll: Republicans want winner over ideology in 2012

By: CNN Political Unit

Washington (CNN) - Given the choice between a candidate who agrees with them on the issues or a candidate who can defeat President Barack Obama in 2012, a new national poll indicates Republicans overwhelming want a winner.

According to CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday, nearly seven out of ten Republicans say they would prefer a GOP presidential nominee who can top Obama in the next election, with 29 percent saying a nominee who agrees with them on every issue that matters the most is more important.

"Republicans are divided on their choice for the GOP nominee in 2012, but they are united in their desire to see Obama ousted from the White House," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

Makes sense to me, if the President is doing a horrible job naturally folks want him out.

1. This is not a revelation. Since Obama has taken office the republicans have been doing anything to
   
see his administration fails

0bama is failing on his own, there is no repuke conspiracy that is causing his brilliant plans to fail.

2. Tea Party Nation will back whomever the GOP nominates.
   
A few of the teaklan kooks were attempting to recruit me into their regressive ranks. I told them I have no interest for many reasons, including the fact that the tea parties are a front for the GOP.

The poor DUmmies are scared shitless that 0bama may be helping to stimulate the economy in Jan of 2013 by collecting unemployment.
Face it DUmmies 0bama has a record and his record aint looking so hot. No matter how much you try to spin it he has failed big time. Voters are not going to buy your bullshit especially when there are no jobs, and gas and food prices are high.

I'm not worried.

The Democrats, liberals, and primitives are going to ignore that poll, and others, anyway.

It shouldn't be any wonder the primitives are always getting rude surprises.

CNN had to create a poll to determine that?  Really?

Unlike the primitives who want a Marxist paradise yesterday, if not sooner, we as conservatives realize that we aren't going to get a candidate that's 100% perfectly in line with us.  However, we do have the intellect to take one that's 70% in line with us and then play the system so that it works out virtually 100% the way we desire. 

One of the largest weaknesses of the left, if not the largest, is their inability to take what has been presented them and to innovate in order to get the results they want.  They yearn for everyone to move collectively in the same direction and in the same mindset, and when it never happens, they stall.  As conservatives, and thus  individualists, we take what we have and shape it to meet our needs, and by everyone doing that, it all works out for the good.  Tell that to them and it's so far beyond their ability to grasp they can't even begin to understand.

There was a Reverend being interviewed on a local radio show and he said 30 million Evangelicals stayed home during the 2008 Presidential election and Obama won by 10 million votes, here's hoping we get a nominee that they can support, right now I'm pulling for a Perry/Bachmann ticket, Bachmann to satisfy the Evangelicals, but I really like Bachmann anyway but she's a plus to get that vote out. It's the freaking Supreme Court people, we need to get behind the nominee whoever it is, well except for Ron Paul but no way will he be the nominee.

It takes one hell of a statement to get coach to use an emoticon.
Multiple emoticons are unheard of. At least it wasn't baby talk, but still...

[BlueStateSaint]

Ditto.

Wow, I have been out of it a long time. I forgot the DU even existed.


  This might be fun after all.

I needed to emphasize Ballygrl's statement in a strong way.

We all need to keep this in mind.

One of the largest weaknesses of the left, if not the largest, is their inability to take what has been presented them and to innovate in order to get the results they want.  They yearn for everyone to move collectively in the same direction and in the same mindset, and when it never happens, they stall.  As conservatives, and thus  individualists, we take what we have and shape it to meet our needs, and by everyone doing that, it all works out for the good.  Tell that to them and it's so far beyond their ability to grasp they can't even begin to understand.

Which goes back to something I've been saying for a long, long time:  We conservatives have core values that unite us, the left does not. 

While conservatives do not agree on everything, we do have common core values that will get us to move in the same direction.  Leftists go along with the idea that if they agree, they're going to get paid back.  If they don't get paid back, they will throw a fit until they get their way. 

They are held together by nothing and when the "leader" gets weak, they thrash and stab each other until they are dead or on top.  Their egos have always been their Achilles heel and they have always been easy to divide and pick off separately.  I cannot for the life of me understand why it is that my dumb, hillbilly, mostly self educated ass can figure this out and the best and brightest in the GOP can't. 

These hooligans are so damn easy to beat, it just takes the will to see it through to the end.

What a bullshit poll!
