Some people will vote for Romney simply because they dont want a black president.
Some people will vote for Obama simply because they do want a black president.
Around 50% of white people will vote for a black president when given the option.
Around 95% of black people will vote for a black president when given the option.
You can excuse this comment by saying " Romney has people who will vote for him no matter what too ", but you know youre ignoring the truth. The problem with the 1% is that theyre only 1%. There's way more "baby daddies" living in project housing, collecting food stamps and welfare than there are successful well off businessmen in america. Obama wants to stick his bill to the successful businessmen in america when he should be creating a path for everyone to become successful. Obama's policies are contradictory, he claims to be a great job creator and that he can save the economy, but the entire premise of his support his based around safety net programs. His message caters to the weak, the lazy and the unintelligent. When Romney says "i can create you a job", Obama says "if you cant find a job, i'll take care of you with the people who have job's money"
If a teenager asks his/her parents for a new pair of shoes and the mother says "cut the grass and earn money for a new pair of shoes" and the father says "here's my credit card, go get some shoes", that teenager would vote for his/her father even though what his/her father did is not the best thing for him/her. That is what is happening in this election. Obama continues to hand over the creditcard to win votes.
You say, "the people who look at the facts will vote accordingly", the facts show that Obama is the worst economic president in the history of our country, yet people still support him in a time when the economy is biggest issue threatening our livelihood. I agree with Obama on a lot of things. I support gay rights. I support a woman having the choice to carry a child or not. But more importantly than either, people need to be able to take care of themselves and have a future. A future with Obama is 4 more years of the last 4 years. This president is awful.
If you had to take an IQ test prior to voting, Romney would win with 75-80% of the vote.
Hmm. So which sounds more logical....
At the $50,000/plate dinner/fundraiser, Romney actually meant he doesnt care about poor people and he'll screw anyone and everyone over and distort any and every fact and number to get more money and power
OR
Both this AND(not or) Obamas "You didnt build that" statement QUITE POSSIBLY could be taken out of context by someone who didnt read/watch the rest of the speech?
Where did he say this? I remember the one about not caring about poor people because there are enough programs already in place. I believe he also said he wasnt worried about the rich because they have the means to take care of themselves.
please link to both of the statements. You will see they are VASTLY different. I'm paraphrasing because I dont rememebr the exact quote but Romney said the olympic athletes were there on their own. There were there because of their coaches and familys who helped them.
The is much different than you didnt build that, SOMEONE DID IT FOR YOU. It wasnt really the you didnt build that that makes his remarks so telling to me, it was the next line. It was the "someone did it for you".
