That reminds me of a woman I knew years ago who was a communist and had inherited great wealth. I think she thought that everyone should be rich like her.

Romney’s white. He wears a suit. He’s got an ‘R’ after his name. He makes president-noises. As a result, he has a floor of 50-60 million popular votes.

That’s the problem right, the problem with America, really, right there.

This is Romney’s big weakness—while “Romney the hypothetical candidate” is the perfect Republican moderate who can whip Obama, “Romney the actuality” is a tone-deaf, vaguely repugnant person whose obvious lack of any real principles makes even his fellow Republicans regard him rather… poorly.

I think he may have already committed his campaign sinking gaffe. Not releasing his tax returns. That just couldn’t look worse even to low-info older whites.

If Romney can’t carry a huge majority of that segment then hovering just above DXM’s floor is where he will find himself come November.

Not releasing his tax returns. That just couldn’t look worse even to low-info older whites.

Low-info older whites may be older, and low-info, but above all, they’re white.

I don’t think there’s any limit to the desire to get that awful Negro out of the White House. None. Not economic self-interest, not dynamiting your children’s future, or the future of the planet. None. Reason left the building with Elvis.

Next election is a census, pure and simple. How many of them are there?

Every poll taken of every teabagging group is evidence of that statement.

That’s so well put.

Anecdotally, my father, who is an unreconstructed Chicago style racist, finds the whole R field reprehensible and will vote for Obama. Again. I think he mainly does what The Economist tells him to do.

My mom, who is an unreconstructed Bronx Irish-Catholic racist, will not vote for Obama (cause he’s ... you know, not doing a good job ... ahem), but may for the first time not vote at all, unless she is ultimately seduced by Mitten’s hair-do.

But my mother, who could be accurately described as progressive, will likely vote for the Republican as she has her entire life.

The nice thing about electoral politics is that it all makes perfect sense…

His father George seemed to be a decent man, how the hell did he raise such a lying scumbag like Willard?

To my everlasting bewilderment, I actually doubted the role racism played in the 2008 primary/election. I now realize that racism is alive and well in the USA. I guess the Teabaggers are the 2x4 that whapped me upside the head and got finally my full attention, though I must admit that RR played a pretty big role as well.
