You guys may want to rethink buying into the false narrative you’ve been fed. The king of the Democrats… Fucking the little guy and giving the big guys handouts.

You missed my point about dems vs. repubs.
Lets get right to it, I’m talking about the last election, Romney vs. Obama.
Lets just accept that both guys were in the pockets of particular corporations, as they are shitbag politicians who must appease corporate interests or be replaced by a politician who better represents their ideals. Okay? I think we see eye to eye here…
If this is true, then why Romney? The guy had zero appeal due to zero ability to remotely relate to the majority of people in the country. He appealed on the platform of, The American business man who’s a fixer of all things.
How was Obama painted? Remember? Obama was made to look like a Kenyan, a Muslim, a man who got into Harvard based on his race, and because of such he got some gimme’s at Harvard which reflected in his grades. Really, he wasn’t all that smart, and it was time for Romney to replace the Kenyan, Mooooslem, EOP bad grade getting boy from office… That’s how it came across to me…
How the hell am I supposed to vote for a guy like Romney if the way he paints Obama is the same way he might paint me? I didn’t use any EOP programing at the University, but I would have if I needed it, and plenty of the people who used EOP were my peers, heck I wish I would have used it now. I saw Arnold get elected by Repubs here in Cali, I guess it’s okay if you’re born Austrian, maybe it’s because he was white? But if your dad was Kenyan?
And the other thing that pisses me off about Repubs is they don’t go out of their way to correct their peers or their party, or they got away from it since McCain used to do it. For Romney, if a third party came out and attacked Obama’s nationality or religion, he didn’t step in and correct anyone, he just let them have their say and distanced himself from it so he could reap the benefits. That’s a man who either wont stand up for what is right, or doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong.
Something as sensitive as this hit close to home for me, and then him being a religious man. Seeing all the people on these very forums, so adamantly Catholic, some of them even acknowledged that Romney is a heretic, but that didn’t stop them from voting for him on financial grounds…
What that showed me was that a lot of Christian Conservatives are bullshitters. Either money trumps ethics= you shouldn’t even be a Christian. Or, just so damned evil and flawed you have a long way to go. [/quote]
Who in their right mind thought Obama was a Kenyon born Muslim? Did Romeny say this or was it implied somewhere I missed?
Is Nacy Pelosi a heritic? Is Obama? They both claim to be Catholic.
Serious question, what did Obama do to earn your vote in 2012?

That’s the point I’m trying to make. Obama didn’t have to earn anything from most people, as the platform Romney ran on, and his lack of correcting his peers whether it was Limbaugh and the whole non birth certificate and intelligence attack thing, to some redneck in Alabama claiming he’s a Mooslem.
Let me ask you this, how do you think someone like myself, or some other minority with half a brain take such attacks on the very rare minority Harvard Law grad who went politician? While Romney ran on his supposed business know how/ expertise (look at his Alcoa manipulation), he also campaigned in such a way that aimed to subvert Obama’s intellect via attacking his academic accomplishments and questioning whether he deserved to be at Harvard in the fist place.
You see, his campaign strategy and his silence when it came to correcting ignoramuses like Limbaugh went hand in hand. You can call it good politics, as these sorts of politics are great at garnering southern votes, and votes are votes, but actually votes aren’t just votes. By not correcting some of his more radical base, along with the vote manipulation in places like Florida, the Republican party emboldened and mobilized the minority vote.
What Republicans are doing now is getting guys like Rubio in an attempt to appeal to latino voters. Remember, University of Miami Law… Is he smart enough for Republicans? Not my standards brother, but if Obama and his law degree from Harvard wasn’t enough, how is it the Rubio has what it takes? Oh, I get it now… It’s not that Obama wasn’t smart enough, it was just good politics with Obama, but Rubio is smart enough and is a proud Latino of Cuban descent. Doesn’t work that way buddy. People aren’t goldfish, minorities tend to be more like Elephants… If Obama wasn’t smart enough, how the hell is it that Rubio is even qualified?
Psssssh, smells worse than shit.
Like I said, Dems don’t have to appeal to minorities. Republicans do all that campaigning for them.
You will see it again, in Florida.
And, for the record, nobody earned my vote. I vote with the little money I have by being careful to who I give money to/ purchase from. I’m not perfect, but I’m pretty damned good.
it was ok and I can see some things that are comparable , but I do not think it a bible of sorts
