Romney's candid moment

[JohnR! 5,495]

1) from your document: "we compiled a list of 2,803 felons who potentially voted in the 2008 General Election." - read: zero evidence

You can't possibly believe Team Romney will run his campaign based on facts! Seriously?!

In light of the coming election, I suppose you would call it an "opportunity". There is a purpose to your denial.

What denial? There is a tiny number of fraudulent votes cast. So tiny that it is hardly detectable and so tiny that it doesn't ever threaten the integrity and outcome of an election.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

I don't think he claimed they were un-American....

Well, he did ascribe very un-American traits to 47% of Amercians, didn't he?

[Obama 2012 1,714]

It's terrible isn't it, when a politican comes out and tells the truth?

People dependent on government are victims a majority of the time. They've been socially engineered to be who they are.

We're not talk about those who are incapable either. That's a different story all together.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

It's not the truth, though.

Are there people out there who are freeloaders, abuse the system, depend on the government entirely too much, etc? Yes. Absolutely.

However, for Romney to say that's what the entire Obama base consists of is totally false, and everyone logically knows that. Some of Obama's base does include the incapable. The elderly, the vets, the disabled, etc. Why lump everyone together simply because of who they're supporting for President?

More people are on food stamps in red states than in blue states.

More people are on food stamps in red states than in blue states.

Cite? California and New York alone probably make that unlikely.

That's what this election is about though, isn't it? Lumping everyone together into so-called "groups" to get ahead. Where you don't even have to try and explain how we're all in this together.

I mean after all, we're fighting for the Latino Vote, the Black Vote, the Female Vote, the Union Vote, etc...

I mean for fvcks sake, this is the United States of America. The last time I checked, we're all AMERICANS. I hate to break it to people, but Latino issues - DO NOT MATTER. Black issues - DO NOT MATTE. Female issues - DO NOT MATTER. White issues - DO NOT MATTER. ---- American issues - ARE what matter.

I am sick to death of politicians, ESPECIALLY on the left who play this divisive role to purposefully get ahead because they otherwise have ZERO substance to their political points of view. It's a divide and conquer mentality for both parties and it's sickening.

Both Romney and Obama can take a stick and shove it up their ####### and twirl it around because they are both worthless garbage. Yet the sheep will eat out of their hands no matter which side they support. People will believe anything and everything that comes out of the mouths.

There is no way in hell that anyone can call themselves mentally sane, and vote for either one of these two people. it's bizzaro world here when it comes to modern American politics.

Actually California and New York make the figures all the more telling, because despite CA/NY, the Red states still outnumber all other in food stamps....

So, have you added those all up, for red and blue states, and what did you come up with?

You come up with more people being on food stamps on red states, as stated earlier by another poster.

So, you are guessing. I thought so.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Where did he say he was guessing?

If you are not willing to do the arithmetic, or show a cite where someone actually did the arithmetic, then you are guessing.
