I think that it's perceived that the "47%" would vote for Obama because he would provide them entitlements, but under a Mitt presidency it wouldn't really be much different anyway. There is little difference between the two.

You're probably right. Just saying that map thing is slightly misleading. Not 100% of the people in those states are poor Republicans who care disproportionately about the gays and abortion and thumping everyone over the head with the Bible

I don't really believe that most people who don't pay federal taxes actually realize this. They do pay FICA and state taxes and I'm sure a whole lot of them probably believe they are taxed too much. Then figure in the education and income level of your typical racist, etc. and it's not hard to see that class warfare is not the problem republicans believe it is.

Of course it's not completely representative. Every state has a diverse set of populations and circumstances. But the map does illustrate the hypocrisy and weakness of Romney's general argument, which is that most blue states are full of loser parasites when really they're the states supporting a number of poor, staunchly Republican states that are sucking in the most federal money.

I mean I don't really care if this sinks Romney or not, I'm voting third party, but I like to tear down bad arguments.

That's true, but those states have a whole lot more poor people than the other states that lean left. Rich people only get 1 vote and there really aren't a whole lot of them. Also, due to the electoral college in most states being an all or none deal, even if the poor people were voting D, they aren't winning the state, so those votes don't determine the election at all.

Just goes to show you what dickbags all of these guys are.  None of them care about anything other than winning the election and gaining power.  Obama doesn't care about the middle class and the poor and Romney doesn't care about the middle class and the rich. 

I am not sure how much any of this matters anyway.  People are so stupid they will probably forget about this by the time they decide if they are going to vote or not.  I mean, it was a video that wasn't a part of the plot of a popular TV show or a new reality show anyway.

Post by: theKSU on September 18, 2012, 11:30:36 PM
It's a good point.  The Republicans' are complaining that the poor and elderly aren't paying enough in taxes.  They want to raise taxes on everyone except for the top end earners--AKA the ones who have benefited from 93% of income gains this century.  Romney and the Republicans know already that the elderly are not likely to be undecided, and the poor probably aren't paying attention to the political noise or are also not undecided. 

I'm not outraged at all by what Romney said in the tape. It's refreshing when politicians tell the truth.  Oh yeah if you're a college student you're probably not paying "income taxes" (just payroll taxes), so you're a rough ridin' freeloader who needs your taxes raised too.  Why don't you get a loan from your parents to help pay for them?

No it isn't about this at all, its about Mitt Romney being a complete bumblefuck that says things that further disenfranchises moderates who are meh about Obama.  At the very same time he is doing a much better job of firing up and broadening Obama's base better than BHO can do himself.  Fellow Republicans are rightfully calling Romney a dumbass, you hear any Dems calling out Obama?  Every time Mitt opens his mouth his base turn-out shrinks with the resignation that he is getting shelled.

While I understand why you Hope and wish this happens, its far from a sure thing. Maybe what you say will/has happen(ed) and maybe Romney will cont to shoot himself in the foot.  Alternatively, maybe this honesty
and candor will earn him points and rally a base desperate for him to stop being so nice to the most worthless president in the modern era.  Even worse for the libs, maybe people actually care about real issues.  Recent polling say I am right and you are wrong.

I agree, but these things seem to be happening to Romney and other republicans on a weekly basis, with no signs of stopping before the election rolls around.

The fact that both of you have suggested higher numbers than me, but not threatened to bet means I probably have it right.

The longer this thing stretches out, the wider the gap is going to get.  I'd take the money on 300 now.

Once Romney gets to the debates, he's not only going to lose independents, he's going to create an even more apathetic base.

Willard has the lead in only 2 battlegrounds and his lead in Florida is only 1.5%. If the turnout isn't good for the Rs, he may get rolled worse than McCain did.  I guess as we are nearing election day the republican base are having a hard time mustering up the energy for this guy they hated last winter.

It's all about getting the Independents and getting your base out. Right now it is equal as far as getting the base out between President Obama and Romney, and every poll I see the Independents are going Romney's way. In 08 President Obama had Independents and his base by a good margin.

Obama has a much larger ground game in states like Ohio and Florida than Romney. He also had a significant advantage in early voting in most of the swing states. That doesn't mean Romney can't win, but it will be incredibly difficult to do so.

Ironically, Romney was more hurt than helped by voter ID laws in places like Pennsylvania and Florida. Both states passed harsh laws that were eventually weakened by the courts and ultimately served as motivation for the same people the laws tried to disenfranchise.

Should be a fun night.

I'm sure they would focus in larger states, but everything would be a whole lot different. It wouldn't really matter who wins California. The margin of victory is what would matter. It would be interesting to see how candidates approach that.

Being disenfranchised due to voter id laws is a completely different level of butthurt.

While true, Florida ended early voting on the Sunday before the election because black churches traditionally "got out the vote" after morning services. That made a lot of people who weren't as enthused in 2012 as they were in 2008 to suddenly become that much more motivated.

It's like Dax's butthurt over foreign policy, except it actually might make a difference.

hasn't been studied, not the point.  It's sad that the tea party has made fluoride a partisan issue, fluoride.  Someone is going to tell these idiots that 911 is a government intrusion then we'll have a groundswell to kill it too.

Hillary is not liberal when it comes to foreign policy, in terms of being a war monger she's in lock step with Obama and Romney.   Her domestic agenda while Liberal is vastly more palatable to what we're going to get from Barry.

True statements.  My friend has chosen his course in life.  The things I give credit to the president about are his approach in Iraq and the killing of Bin Laden.  My post was more pointing out that he is portrayed as a person of peace, and his actions as Commander in Chief would seem to discredit that.  I think the president deserves more criticism for what is going on with the drone strikes than he is receiving. 

For the record I think Romney's foreign policy would've been much more destructive globally.

Serious question: why?  What do you think Obama is going to do that makes the country better off? The only thing I can think of is Obamacare stays, we raise taxes on the rich, cause eff'em, but we spend more money so we still go deeper on the red (as would have happened with Romney as well).  I'm having a hard time coming up with how this is better for the country as a whole. I would have had an equally hard time with Romney. Some who pays attention to this more than I do please explain it. I can see how either candidate is better for individual demographics, but not the country as a whole. The only difference is who gets mumped in the short term while everyone is mumped in the long term.

I'm just perplexed by it all.  I'm not entirely sure what values/policies/achievements of the president make him so appealing.

he's not romney.  romney conducted the most insulting campaign possible, refusing to outline his plans, blatantly twisting the truth, etc.  he conducted his campaign with utter contempt for the intelligence of the electorate.  the saying is that you can never underestimate the intelligence of the american people.  romney proved that wrong, if not by a great deal.

Yeah it is. Outside of Obamacare stays, what would have changed with Romney for the country as a whole. Both were planning on spending a shitload, only in different places. There aren't any major social issues such as gay marriage that will be decided at the national level. Beside the tax level for the rich and Obamacare, what moves the needle?  One winning over the other doesn't change the number of bigots out there.

Paul Ryan is the reason Willard is going to lose Florida.  His take on Medicaid is a non-starter for a national election.

Bobby Jindal :lol: he would get murdered in a primary

Marco Rubio & Nicki Haley would be decent but they are going to have to find a way to shake the Tea Party.  Nothing is better for liberal mobilization in a national election than tea party support.

Obama, has never, ever, done anything to move against guns.  The ONLY thing he ever did that involved guns was to rough ridin' EXPAND gun rights in National Parks.

I have a bunch of gun "enthusiasts" in my family. 

Anyone who tells you that gun laws will be restricted (or ammo) is either a mother rough ridin' idiot, or is profiting off of the mother rough ridin' idiots who are willing to pay artificially inflated prices.

Fast and Furious was an attempt to begin gun control . . . what most libs don't seem to get, there was someone deep in Obama's inner circle that knew all about Fast and Furious and what it was designed to do, and the Executive branch has incorrectly invoked executive privilege to keep him from being questioned.

Control of mexican guns?

Why do I keep hearing Republican commentators saying that people like Paul Ryan and Bobby Jindal are the future of the party?

Do they want to lose?

It will be the party of 90% + white people soon if they keep this up.

Am I wrong in believing that the right ingests more talk radio/cable news than the left, and said media is really the root cause of their problem?

I just watch five minutes of Fox News, and I can't understand how anyone could watch that.  The entire narrative and message is just mind numbingly wrong and off-putting.

yes they get brainwashed by guys who make loads of money when nights like tonight happen.  It isn't just conservatives though, people are generally stupid.  There are plenty of liberals who thought that if Romney won he would take away all birth control, deport all Hispanics, and throw all black people in jail.

Cons acting like they care about Mexicans getting shot is very funny to me.  Similar to many cons contempt for Jews.  In one breath they cry about the liberal media but then the very next breath talk about how Obama doesn't care about "our friends in Israel."  Many cons would just rather send the Jews back and let them get scudded.

if you look at his ev distribution histogram, 330something was the highest probability outcome from his model.  i do think some of the other models may have been a little closer to target though - although that's not a data driven feeling, just a gut feel.  wang had a good post a couple days ago giving his thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of different modelers.

Oh Kimmy.  Your arrogance knows no bounds.


Sincere congrats to all the Obama supporters. 

I hope he does the following things, I will give his administration a great deal of credit if he does.

A) end the drug war, or at a minimum, greatly reduce the violent enforcement of federal drug laws
B) bring the troops home from Afghanistan and the middle east (even Iraq, I'm not interested in arguing if its a war, an occupation or something else)
C) end the drone strikes
D) reduce federal government involvement in education
E) no bailouts, for auto industry, banks, or others.

Some things I'd like the president to make a priority I know won't happen, because his ideologies differ so much from my own.  Knock out 3 of the things I've listed Mr. President and I'll gladly say your 2nd term was a success.
