In the time it took me to write this, you could have learned something you already knew.
All I had to do was type "Romney to the left" and google finished with "of Ted Kennedy"--enjoy . :lamo

In fact I did look it up and never saw this quote. Where is it? You must have copied it from somewhere, right?

No but you don't obviously understand how it works.

Hillary Clinton is of the white left. The entirety of the left doesn't care about Benghazi, like it or not. "Oh dear, a low level leftist diplomat got killed in Libya, Oh Noes!". The Left does not care. It isn't a scandal to them. It isn't going to hurt her at all among her voters.


However, this was not true with Romney's 47% remark. It ruined him with Independents and on the fence centrists who ended up not going to the polls over it. It killed him in key white blue collar states. He was a complete moron for allowing himself to be seen for, sadly, what he probably really is. An out of touch country club GOPer that sickened centrists on the fence. He ruined his centrist flank.

Yeah, Fox News and its pols predicted Mittens would win that election in '12 too. Funny how that ended. :lol:

And what does FOX have to do with what I posted. Have you not heard Obama is in the top 5 of the worst presidents in US History. I don't care about 12 or any other past year I'm commenting on now. You know, know nothing, do noting, liar Obama, the guy you voted for is in the top 5.
 
NIMBY said:
Is Obama using a different measure for Unemployment as those who came before him?
Is Obama responsible for the 2.2 million jobs lost during his first three months and an unemployment stat that topped off at 10.4%?
How about the number of months Obama has been over 6.1%?
Honest folks would say due to the Bush collapse.
How about you ?
Click to expand...
Of course I attribute the problems with the economy when Obama took over to Bush. I attribute the problems TODAY to the guy that was hired to do the job 6 years ago. And like it or not we have RECORD unemployment today. The stats today are pure bull****. People have given up. We have a record number of people that have simply quite the workforce. Luckily for Obama...those people do not count against the total 'unemployed' because they dont meet the definition of 'unemployed'.

You love the guy so heres a little bit of a positive spin for you. At the current rate, we should have about 130 million people no longer in the workforce, no longer seeking employment, no longer counted. By that measure, hell, he could get the unemployment stats down to 3% by the time his 8 years is up. Dare to dream, baby.

The only way in which someone would "vanish" from the unemployment rate is to abandon job seeking altogether.

Exactly. Now...care to guess how we are doing in that category? (for a teaser, read Grants post directly below yours)

Obviously anyone thinking Obama is one of five worst presidents is a complete idiot who knows nothing about US history. But, hey, Joan Rivers thinks he's gay. So you all are in good company. :roll:

How can polls determine what Romney would have done in office....they are nothing but opinions about something that didnt happen...fantasy.

Polls show how people see things in their minds. Have you not heard Obama is now in the top 5 of the worst presidents in US history. My dog could do better than Obama.

On the plus side, he has managed to reach Carter level incompetence. (you know of course their only response is going to be to attack the 'source').

That article also explains how the White House is using phony stats to their advantage. It could be because of the November elections or maybe it's because they just can.

I think he is the worst, history will judge Obama and right now he is in the top 5. Sorry your idol is going down in flames. Look at his approval rating, then turn out the lights.

That's a problem all politicians share. Why you decided to pin that nonsense on just Romney is beyond me.

Sorry...but I didn't pin it on Romney....his flip flops were so well known even his campaign manager talked about him shaking his etch a sketch and recreating himself. That's how he came to be known as Mr. Etch a Sketch.
 
Grant said:
How would you define 'moderate', and on which policies?
Click to expand...

That's a good question. What were his stands on anything? He was all for the individual mandate...until he was against it. He was pro-guy rights...until he was against it.

It's hard to say if he was or wasn't a moderate because it all depended on who was listening and when.

I wanted to vote for him, until I saw that the only thing he really believed in was that rich people were superior.

History will judge Obama as an average president, who was superior to his predecessor, but inferior to Clinton.

He also will be remembered for causing hardcore conservatives to have massive brain farts.

That she is white is problematic for the democrats because a white candidate (and especially an all white ticket) wont inspire minority turnout. It is highly unlikely after 8 years of Obama and 8 years of an ever increasing worsening of problems in the black and Hispanic community that they will be inspired to vote, much less for a white candidate. Democrats need a minority candidate, and pretty much ANY minority candidate will do. I still think Corey Booker will be the veep niominee.

This is a load of garbage.

Ironically, considering the way right wingers have acted since Obama has been elected, don't be surprised if those pesky minorities come out and vote for the next dem candidate at even higher rates than they did Obama.

****, it's gotten so bad for the GOP, that even Cubans are starting to realize they are a joke.

Surely you can cite the examples about how bad the right wingers have acted. And then you can fairly weigh that with the steady decline of the black community under 50 years of blind support for the democrat party and specifically for the last 6 years with a black president. Oh...sure...there will be attempts at the race baiting politics democrats use every year just like they will trot out the 'war on women' rhetoric. And it will even work for some. For others...those that are already heavily invested the Kool Aid stock...it will just give them more rhetoric and talking points.

The funny thing is...I'm not bashing her. I'm simply stating a fact. That you and others got your panties twisted over it...well...I think it just means it testifies truth.

Sorry...you can be all pissed off about the facts if you want, but it wont change the facts.

Nothing you stated is fact, but I realize conservatives are praying those minorities stay home, since it's essentially impossible for them to win solely on the white vote anymore.

Please don't trip over your hyperbole. He was a one term governor of a medium-sized state; hardly the most qualified to run in your lifetime. Yes, he had an Ivy league JD and MBA, but we have had plenty of those. Obama is an lvy League JD.

Really, nothing worse then tripping over bad hyperbole; especially when you land and splatter it all over your face. Its just not very becoming.

If you think Romney is no more qualified than Obama you're a perfect example of why America has been stuck with Obama for the last 6 years.
