If The Election Were Held Today

What concerns me is the 44% who actually think Obama is doing a good job. Mind you, they can't tell you why, or they say that it's all Bush's fault in spite of four years of Obama making things worse. These have to be members of "Welfare Nation", that certain group of Americans and in some cases illegal immigrants even, who are able-bodied but prefer food stamps and hand outs to an honest days work. And we keep doling it out. Now, before anyone pounds me for saying that, I'm NOT talking about deserving recipients of help. I'm talking about slackers and druggies, like the 44 year old crackhead who lives in my town. She gets a "disability" check every month, and food stamps to supplement her burglary income, and; in spite of a lengthy rap sheet, numerous felony convictions, too many drug convictions to even list in the state's online offender database and a few stints in prison, she still gets paid every month. She routinely hosts crack parties and is capable of casing and robbing houses, stealing cars, walking for miles when she can't get a ride to obtain dope, but she supposedly can't work - so the check keeps coming which she uses to buy more crack. I for one am absolutely fed up with people who think the government owes them a living, and I cringe when I see a perfectly healthy man pay for two carts of groceries with a EBT card, or an illegal "immigrant" with a EBT card too. He can't speak English but he can coyote his way here and somehow get free groceries, healthcare, etc. Bull$&%#!!! And those without felony convictions will vote for Obama, regardless. They could care less about the country as long as that free check keeps coming.

I guess I answered my own "question". Thanks for listening.

It wasn't the crackheads who got Obama elected. It was students raised on Barney and Elmo who were taught trophies were evil and that you should share when you're taking a dump. It was college students trained by communist hippies and people who think hiphop is cool. It was anybody who watched the drooling lickspittles on CNN, MSNBC, ABC and CBS to get their news. Anybody who thinks Brangelina is interesting and cares about Miley Cyrus' haircut.

And, most importantly, it was the ladies.

Thankfully, Mitt isn't an old, ugly, worn-out guy and Ryan will appeal to them, as well.

No disrespect to Conservative women intended-I call it like I see it.

Finally-the reason Obama won was because guilt prevented a buttload of whites from voting against a (half-)black candidate.

He had his shot, and he failed. Bye.

There is an undercurrent among some blacks that he's screwed the pooch for them from ever playing that card again.

'lickspittle' - now there's a crackerjack gem of a term when used in moderation. Nice.

See, to me, that's a racist attitude.

Speaking for myself, as a conservative, skin color doesn't have anything to do with it. There are a couple black politicians I would have personally chosen to lead the party other than Romney. Believe me, inside a year, we're gonna have problems with his liberalism, too.

Liberals are all the same color-pink.

In complete agreement with all above. That many have said so in interviews (NOT covered by MSM) is testament that their own version of bak-sheesh is more important than them being labeled racist. Many are losing their own moral authority well-used over decades; that has some pain to it I'd imagine.

Yes, Romney bears watching and I'd have gone Allen West in a f'instant.

Don't worry

Don't worry.

10 12 years from now when more becomes known about the soon to be ex President - I hope - he will be reinvented as something else and his white half will be given more focus. This will allow the left to claim he really wasn't black - enough - so he's not really the first "Black" President "But by the way this guy we now got........."

Too late

When the DM Register endorsed Romney my wife asked what I thought of that? My first reply was that he was obviously progressive enough for them, I never cared for that aspect about him however I will take him over Obama any day. We recently got back from a trip just North of Madison, WI. political signs from Dubuque IA to Madison ran 6 to 1 for Romney also saw these signs along the road two in Dubuuque which has always leaned democrat and one in S. Wisconsin got a real charge over seeing them.

I'm including the ladies who voted for Obama with the other factions of society who did.

Can you deny that the women vote had a large impact on the '08 election?

How is that possible? According to the Census Bureau, about 10 million more women voted in '08 than men.

FWIW, UConn's Roper Center for Public Opinion Research conducted a poll on how groups voted in 2008. The results are available here.

The U.S. Census Bureau's data on the 2008 election are available here.

May be so. But not all 10 million voted for Obama. If all the jackass men out there wouldn't have voted for him he wouldn't be POTUS
