Romney/Ryan Lose 2012 Election Thread

(agreeing with ASF)

(apparently completely misreading Elessar's post)

Sometimes I feel like these political threads are so full of liberals now, that people just make up phantom conservative posts in their head just so they can argue with them.

Can we hire some scab conservatives to join the Tailgate?

Joe Gibbs used to give out a Kodak award every week for the best scout team impersonation of that week's opposing team's best player. I'll have a go at it.

You want me to do centrist conservative or Far Right?

Do a centrist conservative, please. Those are the difficult guys to find these days.

The word "but" implies a contrast or exception as such the written implication is that the "misconception" regarding who receives the credit or one's education is bring made by those who received the education, not by those (on the Right) who are making the anti-ibtellectual claims.

Nothing against that at all, but it's this pervasive misconception that NO ONE else contributed to attaining success

First one is on domestic policy...Wed., Oct.3
Second is VP debate...Thurs., Oct.11
Third is a town hall meeting format...Tues., Oct. 16
Last is on foreign policy...Mon., Oct.22

Unless Romney wins the first debate decisively, to convince some voters to give him another shot; the race will be effectively over with that first debate. Obama wins and he will open up a bigger lead than he has now that Romney won't have a shot. Race is almost over now, but Romney will get his last shot. He loses that first debate, people will stop paying attention to him.


That debate schedule is a little to compressed. There should've been one debate in September.

"Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will pledge to Hispanics on Monday that if elected he will fix the troubled U.S. immigration system in an appeal to a rising voter bloc that overwhelmingly favors Democratic President Barack Obama."


Wait til they find out he means "fix" as in spay or neuter.

Holy ****.

During a private fundraiser earlier this year, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told a small group of wealthy contributors what he truly thinks of all the voters who support President Barack Obama. He dismissed these Americans as freeloaders who pay no taxes, who don't assume responsibility for their lives, and who think government should take care of them. Fielding a question from a donor about how he could triumph in November, Romney replied:

There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax.

Romney went on: "[M]y job is is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

And less you think that was just some random made up lie...



My God, man...

I think you're desperate for anyhing that might indicate that Rmoney has a shot at winning.

[Elessar78]

from what I understand Obama doesn't have a huge lead. All the stats twa posted are within (my assumed margin of error, usually +/- 3)

Nah,just something to counter 2000's yammering
but I do think many polls are oversampling Dems as well....time will tell.
Not like I'm gonna be pleased with either winning.

That looks like 294 Electoral votes for Obama, and 235 for Romney?

[twa]

That would be assuming it stays the same,and ya know what they say about that

If you add in the oversampling issue things change a bit.

[Hooper]

That fundraiser video is going to break big I bet. You call 47 percent of the electorate lazy freeloaders and... well, it's going to be another tough week for Mitt.

I'd love to be a conservative or to argue for conservative positions, but I just cannot figure out what those are.

I am not sure how to argue for "less taxes" without being able to say what tax rates I consider to be appropriate.

I am not sure how to argue for "less regulation" without being able to say what regulations I consider important and/or necessary.



I could argue that taxes should not punish success and that regulations should not be too onerous... but then everybody will agree with me.


It seems that GOP platform consists of a strange mix of truisms and idiocy.
