  1. This surrounds a congressional race in Florida involving a really corrupt member of Congress, David Rivera. It's a long story, but this blurb sounded so much like a soap opera, that I had to post it. This woman was one of his helpers in a scheme to rig the Democratic primary. http://www.bradenton.com/2012/09/25/4214177/nudity-politics-gunfire-and-a.html
  2. Why don't windows on airplanes roll down? http://thinkprogress.org/election/2012/09/24/899441/romney-plane-windows/
  3. Bin Laden is dead, something George Bush didn't accomplish. Troops from the surge just left Afghanistan, plus the Iraq War was ended awhile back. Allies that were alienated under Bush came back into the fold. That's good foreign policy. No President has a perfectly flawless term when it comes to anything, but there has been plenty of success. But, apparently, the none of that counts because of rabid partisanship. Give credit to where it is do, had there not been a change in policy, Bin Laden would still be alive and troops would still be in Iraq.
  4. It shows which states have the most non-taxpayers and they are mostly Republican states, governed by Republicans for the most part. Republicans are supposed to create jobs, yet they haven't improved the jobs situation in the poorest states that they run. Plenty of those non-taxpayers vote Republican, because poor white Southerners break heavily toward the Republican party.It's not a black and white situation. Again, Obama won middle class counties all over the country, it's highly unlikely that most of his voters aren't paying any taxes. And for the record, there is such a thing as the working poor, many of these people pay zero taxes because they don't make enough to pay taxes, but yet take no federal subsidy. Again, it's not a black and white situation. At the end of the day, Romney is accountable for what he says, no one forced him to make these particular comments and people are entitled not to like them. You can't broad brush people with a total disregard for facts.
  5. Exactly, the Daily Caller is much more activist that Media Matters is, Media Matters specializes in pointing out biases or falsehoods in press. The Daily Caller just obsesses about Democrats 24/7. Hypocrisy is a ridiculous thing.
  6. Indeed
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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).
  10. Romney's face after giving a very politicized press conference about the death of the Ambassador in Libya.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Looks like someone may have gotten a hold of Romney's tax returns. http://mashable.com/2012/09/05/hacker-ransom-romney-tax-returns/
  14. Not just that, he's also pro-choice and pro-environment, his record as Mayor of Carmel was really very strong on environmental issues.
  15. 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.
  16. 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
  17. 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.

  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. ROFL.
  23. 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?
  24. 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.
