No matter how much the right bash's the President seems to thrive and survive.

I may be accused or racism, but my answer is, black pride, white guilt, and an ignorant population.

Well, maybe you are racist.

It isn't just the blacks that are keeping Obama ahead in the polls. And, the ignorant population is the one that is voting Republican. Many white seniors are going to feel the shaft of Medicare if Romney gets in, but it will be too late for them, I'm sure they'll find some way to blame Obama when they have to start paying more, or lose Medicare altogether.

High school dropouts have always favored the dems when they bother to vote

As does Warren Buffet, and Jim Sinegal

Where'd you get that fact anyways care to back up claims with proof?

uber rich power hungry people believe that they will control the government and thus they want as big a government as possible to enhance their power

If you want to deny my claims feel free to do so. That fact has been posted here for years. I am not going to support intellectual laziness :mrgreen:
 
Regarding voting based on income and state wealth:

Census and opinion poll data since 1952 reveal that higher-income voters continue to support the Republicans in presidential elections. However, higher-income states have in recent years favored the Democrats. The Republicans have the support of the richer voters within any given state but have more overall support in the poorer states. Thus, the identification of rich states with rich voters, or more generally, the “personification” of so-called red and blue states, is misleading.

Guess it is true in my family's case; my father, a Republican, makes twice as much as my mother, a Democrat.

What is it my friends? I have heard it all. Obama's policy's have hurt the economy and he has done a terrible job. He has bowed to leaders of other nations. He has said he was sorry to everybody. In spite of all this He is still ahead in most polls. What is it that makes this fact?

The answer is simple... We have an uninformed electorate thanks to a main stream news media that's in bed with the Messiah and not doing their job.

....because he's black. That is all.
 
WHY ?


Because The Monumental Mendacious Racist Commie/Socialist Fraud Obama , in addition to his lock on the Monolithic Total Black Racist vote. Bought the Latrino Vote withthe DREAM ACT. Recently bribed the Muslim Vote by embracing the Cop Killing, Al Queda and Hamas Supporter Siraj Wahhaj and his IslamoFascist Congregant Swine by making them one of the central parts of DNC festivites. And, prior to that allowed the infiltration of the Muslim Terrorist Front: CAIR, created by two avowed enemies of America: Omar Awad & Nihad Awad, both indicted by the FBI for being Hamas Terrorist Members ( Google for confirmation). CAIR has been recruited by Janet Incompetano's Homeland Security into the top echelon. Recently anounced in the Media as a PR ACCOMPLISHMENT. The representatives of CAIR are now lecturing our various Govt Agencies and the MILITARY. Result: The Commanding General investigating Maj Hassan, the IslamoFascist Psycho, who murdered 13 of our finest and wounded approx the same number in the Fort Hood Massacre ...... disallowed the term "Islamofascist Terorist" to be applied to this IsmamoFascist SWINE even though Maj Hassan howled and yowled "ALAH HU AKBAR" as he was mowing down our finest !

ALSO, our Political Charlatan Obama bought the Big Unions, such as: GM, GE, Teachers AFT Union, His THUGS, the strong arm SIEU Union (used to intimidate political gatherings), The young college students, the women by assuring them free contraceptive, and in general the large segments of our Society with the ENTITLEMENT AGENDA: "Vote for Obama & get Freebies".

IMO, this is one of most racist, bigoted and disgusting post I've read in while.

IMO, people who thing like this are un-American.

It's pathetic that you still blame the media for the failings of the GOP to field a good candidate.

It's seems like with the GOP, it's always someone else's fault.
 
The encumbant always has a tremendous advantage unless something disasterous happens. It's as simple as that.

Spot on if you add the fact that he has an incredibly sympathetic media. Barely seeing anything in the news about gas prices, unemployment, pitiful job growth over the last year, etc, etc.

I see that on my news all the time.

But good news puts it in perspective. Most of us see how the GOP house has been running the economy into the ground as a means to an end.

No matter how you juggle the data, weasel around the FACT REMAINS: fewer Americans are employed NOW than when the Monumental, Mendacious, Racist, Commie/Terrorist Fraud, Obama took office.

ALSO......EVERY POLL, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, on the MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF THE ECONOMY unequivocally states that: WE ARE WORSE NOW THAN WE WERE WHEN OBAMA TOOK OFFICE !!!

What media have you been watching/reading?

ESPN?
 
Then why do liberals dominate higher education? If they where so stupid then why do they dominate the news the way they do? You are doing your side a diservice if you think liberals are stupid. Our way of thinking has been around for 300 years and as much as you conservatives don't want to admit it you need us as much as we need you. What is the rights strenth is our weakness and our strenth is your weakness so it evens out in the end. You know checks and balence. Without it both sides can be facist.

Point taken. But what you fail to recognize, is that liberalism has shifted into something else. Gone are the days of Blue Dog Democrats. Obama isn't Clinton. Clinton worked with Gingrich on welfare reform, and deficit reduction. They got things done. Now, you have two sides pointing fingers at the other.

Modern liberalism is being dominated by the far left. We saw actual proof of that at the Democratic Convention, where just as many people voted "No" for putting "God" back into the platform. That isn't liberalism, that's radicalism. Democrats are Christians too, well, most of them are. So, take a look at who's controlling the media and the party. It's the fringe left, the Obama types. Partial birth abortion isn't "liberal", it's "radical". Redistribution of wealth isn't "liberal", it's "radical". Gay marriage isn't "liberal", it's "radical".

I know you are going to disagree with many of the examples I've given, but look at history of the Democratic Party. JFK didn't support "gay marriage", and yes, it was an issue then too. Clinton didn't support "gay marriage", and yes, it was an issue then too. JFK was A PRO-LIFE CATHOLIC DEMOCRAT! The party has shifted. JFK didn't go around apologizing for American exceptionalism, he stood up to the Russians in the Cuba Missile Crisis, and they backed down. He showed strength, not weakness. Bill Clinton didn't go around disparaging people's wealth the way Obama does. You never heard Clinton utter phrases like "spread the wealth around".

The party has changed. The left is something the vast majority of Americans dont recognize! We don't apologize for success, we don't apologize for free speech, we don't apologize for our strengths, and we don't apologize for our inherited Christian values. Yes, we are a melting pot. One that welcomes different view points, different religions, different politics. But that doesn't mean it changes WHO WE ARE as a nation. Obama is wrong. I can accept you for being a liberal. I can listen to you. I can agree with you on some things. That doesn't change WHO I AM. We can do all those things as a nation, but it doesn't change WHO WE ARE. Difference is, liberals have tried to change our history. It's a revisionist mentality of who we are as a nation. We aren't a nation who punishes wealth through an ever progressive tax system in order to redistribute wealth. We aren't a nation that aborts babies in the womb, we're a nation that feeds babies around the globe! We aren't a nation that trades liberty for security. We aren't a nation that doesn't stand up to terrorism and indecency. We are a nation that confronts evil, protects the natural rights of humans in all corners of the world, and stands firm as a friend to nations seeking freedom, liberty, peace, and prosperity. We aren't attacking foreign consulates and embassies over YouTube videos. We aren't beheading cartoonists who take a jab at Jesus Christ. We aren't hanging foreign soldiers from the Golden Gate Bridge.

We are not them! Your way of thinking diminishes this great country. It's like you are embarrassed, or even afraid to say, "Those Muslims over there need to be put in check". That's not an anti-Muslim statement. What they are doing is WRONG! Why is your side so afraid to say so?

If one of your children misbehaves, do you not correct them? If you don't, you are doing them a disservice. Do you not believe in discipline among your own children? The left seems to be like the parent who is afraid to bust their child's butt for misbehaving. Rational people observe your side and just shake our heads! It makes me wonder what your response would be if a burglar broke into your own house. Would you just try talking him out of robbing you? Or would you actually have the courage to defend your family and property? I bet you would. But when it comes to this country, liberals seem to want to apologize and empathize with our attackers, rather than swat them down and say, "nuh uh, you're not going to behave this way towards the United States, and if you do, you're going to be punished".

I say, take every single embassy, every single military base, troop, soldier, consulate, everything out of every single nation in the world. Along with it, all of the money we send foreign countries as well. Let them rot in their deserts. Let them starve in their slums. Let them fight their own plagues and wars. Let them get a taste of a world without America's mercy and kindness. Let them get a taste of a world where America doesn't protect their freedoms anymore. Let them experience a world where America isn't rushing in with food, medical supplies, clean water, vaccines, and money after a natural disaster. Let them experience a world of terrorism, murder, genocide, and piracy without an intervening force like America. Say goodbye to them. It would scare this world more than any military threat we've ever lobbed. Wash our hands of them, and say good bye.

If liberals truly believe WE are causing Muslims to hate us, then let's get out of there, take our tanks, our troops, and our dollar bills with us. No more war, no more embassies, no more military bases, no more foreign aid, no more financial assistance, no more disaster relief funds, no more money. Take it all, and come home. Let them have their corner of the world. But make it clear, that if any attack is made against this country, we won't be sending troops, but a fleet of bombers and drones. We wont spare any force, and we wont show any mercy. We will live by THEIR standards of war. Let them experience the world they are creating.....

That's quite an eclectic mixture of issues. Let's see if we can pick out a few and hold them up to the light:

We aren't a nation who punishes wealth through an ever progressive tax system in order to redistribute wealth.
We have always had a progressive income tax. When you add payroll taxes into the mix, and tax capital gains at a different rate, it is questionable just how progressive the tax code as a whole really is. Remember Warren Buffet paying a smaller percentage in taxes than his cleaning lady?


We aren't a nation that aborts babies in the womb,

Babies have been aborted since ancient times. It became legal in 1974 in the USA, nearly 40 years ago. Abortion is nothing new.

we're a nation that feeds babies around the globe!

Yes, we are. That hasn't changed, nor should it.
We aren't a nation that trades liberty for security.

Whoa, back up on that one, and remember the Patriot Act, the Department of Homeland Security, Asset Forfeiture, and indefinite detention without trial. I'd argue that we are a nation that trades liberty for security. We should not, of course, but we do have a history of doing exactly that.

If those acts are what you are calling "liberalism", then you're right in condemning it, but it seems to me that the self described "conservatives" are a part of passing such outrageous attacks on liberty in the name of security.

We aren't attacking foreign consulates and embassies over YouTube videos. We aren't beheading cartoonists who take a jab at Jesus Christ. We aren't hanging foreign soldiers from the Golden Gate Bridge.

like the Islamic nutters are doing. Now, does that make the Jihadis "liberals"?

Just how do you define the term "liberal", anyway?
