It's very doubtful that the majority of those who voted for Obama don't pay taxes. This issue with the truth is a big problem that conservatives have. You can't have your own version of the truth. Large portions of Obama's base are middle class, just take a look at any map and you'll see that he won plenty of middle class and even working class counties across the nation.

Why does he think that if he was Mexican he'd have a better chance at winning? He's losing because he's a political hack and has a poor personality, not because he's not a minority.

All the over top ranting and anger about Obama aside, let's be rational for once. Romney opened his mouth, Clinton didn't force him to do, Obama didn't force him and neither did any other Democrat, it was all on Romney himself, period. But, go ahead and keep demonstrating why the Republican Party is half a step away from being below the Monster Raving Loony Party (a joke).

Romney's face after giving a very politicized press conference about the death of the Ambassador in Libya.- The Politics Thread
The point is, the incident wouldn't have been stopped by voter ID and mainly involved politicians. When fraud happens in elections, it's mainly politicians doing it, not random voters. ID is fine as long as it isn't used to try and hamper certain constituencies from voting.- The Politics Thread
That is election fraud, which is far more common that voter fraud. Voter ID couldn't have stopped that sort of fraud, because it was orchestrated by a campaign. If anything, election fraud is more of a problem. Florida 2000 proves that.- The Politics Thread
Looks like someone may have gotten a hold of Romney's tax returns. http://mashable.com/2012/09/05/hacker-ransom-romney-tax-returns/- The Politics Thread
Not just that, he's also pro-choice and pro-environment, his record as Mayor of Carmel was really very strong on environmental issues.- The Politics Thread
Statistics don't support Republicans claims of voter fraud, they seem to think they only lose elections because minorities voted more than once and it's simply not true. Voter ID isn't about stopping fraud, it's about manipulating elections and it's time to be honest about that. You think this is going to be enforced in Republicans areas? Not at all, because it's not about the law. Where are all these stories about widespread voter fraud? They don't exist. http://votingrights....election-fraud/ A lot of these efforts don't even include discounted IDs for those who can't afford them. That says a lot about the intention right there. It's all politics.- The Politics Thread
Adlai Stevenson is the most notable person to lose the general and run again. Harold Stassen holds the record for running for President every election between 1944 and 1996, although he never got for in the primaries. http://www.ourcampaigns.com/CandidateDetail.html?CandidateID=8199- The Politics Thread
Ron Paul supporters are not happy, they made somewhat of a scene on the convention floor. They had cothes pins on their noses and were chanting.- Favorite TV Themes/Openings

If Akin had been somewhere like Oklahoma, which is safely Republican, they wouldn't have asked him to drop out. They only reason they want him out is because McCaskill can defeat him, as Missouri does have some suburban voters that would drop Akin very easily. He was hands down the weakest candidate they could have put up. McCaskill spent money on ads calling him too conservatives, so that the ultra-conservatives would go and out vote for him in the primary. She wanted to run against him.- The Politics Thread
That was very deliberate. Lee Atwater was behind a lot of the Southern Strategy and he admitted that Republicans came up with different words to say "N*****, N*****, N*****," in order to play to southerners with racist attitudes. What does it matter who has more power? That's trying to apply a double standard.- The Politics Thread
Biden's remarks were about unchaining banks and wall street, unless you consider criticism of banks racist, then there was nothing racist or race baiting about what he said. Republicans would rather change the subject and talk about race, than banks. No Republicans said a word when Allen West (Bachmann on steroids) said that Obama wanted to be put people into slavery and called Social Security slavery.- The Politics Thread

Why was it even necessary to bring race into the equation? It's a racist assertion that Obama elected because he's black and it's a very faulty one too, since most of the votes he got had nothing to do with race. Again, why was race even brought up?- The Politics Thread
Sorry, it is racist, it pushes the notion that many people have about people of color in high positions, the one that asserts that they didn't get there on merit, but only on race. He ran a better campaign in 2008, I was a Hillary supporter, but I have to say he ran a better campaign in the primary as well. And in the general, his opposition was weak and he ran circles around it. That's why he won, he worked for it. And I don't recall Sarah Palin ever giving a good speech.- The Politics Thread
The problem with what Booker said is that there is nothing "nauseating" about the Bain Capital ads, there were no lies or distortions in them and Romney uses his business experiences as a reason why he should be elected, that is fair game. And a lot of people have a problem with it, because no elected Republicans have really stepped out to condemn attacks on the President that are based on personal character, yet Booker offers a defense for Romney on something that can't be defended. Republicans stepped up the partisanship the minute Obama was elected. Why aren't they expected to stop partisanship?- The Politics Thread
Yes, the state polls are where the picture of the race is at. National polls tend be less stable than the state ones and really count less since electoral votes decided the election.- The Politics Thread
Romney's changes have been more dramatic, he's a completely different person than he was ten years ago, which is a lot different than Obama upgrading his position on one issue. Romney's favorables are horrible, double digits under water, that's all I need to say about what the potential outcome of the election will be.- The Politics Thread
Lugar losing means Democrats go from no chance at winning the seat to at least a possibility of winning it. It's a lot easier for Donnelly to win moderates against Mourdock. Lieberman was too into the war and Specter was party switcher, that's completely different than just purging the party of every moderate for a whole line of ideological issues.- The Politics Thread
Rosen never even mentioned anything about mothers, it's was Ann Romney that added that. It isn't a lie that she never worked for a living, as in having to earn a paycheck and for that matter, her husband has never really had to survival, but rather for status. Rosen would have even said what she said if Mitt Romney hadn't labeled Ann one of his economic surrogates. With the primary over, Romney needs something to delay discussing the issues. - The Politics Thread
