How is this race remotely close against a colossal douchebag?

[mahina]

?????????

the President is brilliant, moderate, and works his heart out. Rmoney and Lyan should be in the single digits even in Alabama.

WTF America? Stupid much?

We will now return to your regularly scheduled useful and informative posts.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Maybe because the guy who isn't a colossal douchebag

is a black Democrat?

[russspeakeasy]

2. That would be my take.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

3. If his name was Bob Johnson and he was a white guy...

Romney would be cowering in a corner and John McCain would still be in traction. Never under estimate the power of racism in this country.

[russspeakeasy]

30. I live in Florida now. I will never again underestimate

the racism in this country.

[martin061360]

4. I wonder the same thing and it is a little depressing sometimes

[MrSlayer]

5. They could run Jerry Sandusky and pull 45%.

It doesn't matter who or what they run. In the right wing bubble as long is it isn't a filthy liberal, nothing else matters.

[hifiguy]

8. Maybe not 45%, but

definitely 35-40%.

[mahina]

11. So we have to run Superman and they just need somebody with a pulse.

[MrSlayer]

33. Not Superman but somebody respectable.

That's the difference between us as parties. They'll rally behind anyone, no matter how fucked up, as long as they have the R. We're more selective.

[Shrike47]

6. Plus quite a few people strenuously ignore reality. They vote their fantasies.

'I' m gonna be rich someday so I'll vote like I already am.'

But I think more of them vote from hate than any other emotion.

[MrTriumph]

7. Could it be Pres. Obama is the most conservative Dem. president of our time?

On Nov. 7 can we stop the Obama worship?

[mahina]

9. Yeah,

but just you.

[emulatorloo]

10. Could it be that you are out of touch with reality?

If you think people are voting Romney because Obama is "not liberal enough" you most certainly are.

There is a HUGE FUCKING DIFFERENCE between Obama and Romney. Anybody who pushes this "They are the same" BULLSHIT is delusional or a troll.

You should join up with the Freepers, they display similar fantasies re "Obama Worship."

[MrTriumph]

16. I am saying some real Democrats are not very enthused.

The "lesser of 2 evils" schtick is never very inspiring.

[JI7]

24. They aren't Real Dems if they are supporting Romney because Obama isn't liberal enough

and there is no lesser of 2 evils because Obama is not evil.

and why do you feel the need to be inspired ?

[MrTriumph]

25. Hey, J, the lesser of 2 evils is an expression

but if you prefer to say the greater of 2 lackluster candidates, that's okay by me. Your choice.

Do I have a NEED to be inspired? No.

[JI7]

28. Obama is not lackluster , he is a good president in itself

[emulatorloo]

35. Wishful thinking on your part. DU is not interested in your "Dems Stay Home" message

[Lisa D]

14. Why are you worshipping anyone?

You should join the rest of us at DU in supporting Democrats, including President Barack Obama, as well as the policies that will move America forward.

[MrTriumph]

15. Hey, Lisa- I voted straight D as I always do.

[trumad]

27. Really?

You don't like folks on this board loving the guy,,,, then just go find another forum.

[JI7]

29. notice it complains about "worship" of the PRes when people like im

and then it complains that the pres is not inspiring, is lackluster etc.

[Posteritatis]

12. Osama bin Laden would poll in the forties if he was on the Republican ticket.

If Sandusky was his running mate he could probably eke a tie in the non-CNN sense of the word.

Gotta love that rigidly bipolar political system.

[Zorra]

13. It's a combination of related reasons, related to ignorance, stupidity, or greed ~

[spanone]

17. ...and racism.

[Zorra]

23. Yeh...didn't say that cuz I figure racism is a main subcategory of the stupid and ignorant group. nt

[KharmaTrain]

18. 30 Years Of Talking Points...

All Willard's done is tapped into the "verve" of Faux Noise and hate radio...mediums that amplify memes the rushpublicans have used since Raygun...where the great detachment with reality began. You hear them yelp about high taxes yet their taxes have never been lower...complain about "big government" when spending is far lower than it was when their ilk were in control. They "trickle down"...thinking that throwing money at the riches means that the majority will maybe, possible, get trickled down on if they behave. It's a brainwashing of a massive scale that is reinforced daily...so much so that we have millions who cite the talking points without any clue what they mean and will gladly transmit any new meme without question.

In short...we have 40% of the electorate stuck on stupid...thank goodness for the sane 53%.

[Peepsite]

19. The poor repubs think the rich repubs actually give a shit about their issues. Idiots.

[libdem4life]

21. It's Feudalism Mentality...The Peasants that eat belong to the Lord that wins.

[renate]

20. I wonder that too

Not only is Mitt a colossal douchebag, the President is just so damn appealing. When I see him with pictures of little kids, or hugging people who've been through a disaster, or just up on a stage talking about the right thing to do... I just don't understand how some people can hate him so much. WHY?

[JI7]

22. Racists, Media Whores, Douchebags who want to be wealthy like Romney

the media is a HUGE part of it though because they convince some who are not racists but low info stupid types to vote Romney.

[Thrill]

26. Because the media has refused to call Mittens out on his bullshit

Thats why

[quinnox]

31. Racism with a big "R"

the racists are out in force to take down the "you-know-what", they would call him. These fuckers are all over the yahoo message boards, I was recently giving them an ass-whipping.

[Zoeisright]

32. Racism. Stupidity. Ignorance.

Basically, repukes. After all, half of the country has an IQ below 100. And they're all repukes.

[upi402]

34. I agree with absolutely everything you said OP

Psycho Billy Freakout here in the home of the brave, and the land of the free.

woo hoo

[ananda]

36. This race is NOT close.

Any closeness is media and poll manufactured for the sake of ratings
and rightwing ownership.
