"If Romney loses it will only be because of Demographics"

On the TV this appears to be the "wise and insightful meme of the day."

What it literally means is, "If we lose this election it will only be because of the electorate."

That's some deep, deep stuff.

Wow.

In other words, the angry white man vote is being watered down by intelligent liberal white men, hispanics, blacks and women.

That man needs to go to a "quiet room" and cry. His "Chosen One" did not ride in on the "white horse" and now he is going to "Lose Big". Now he's moved on to a discussion about the racial composition of the electorate. He's sounding like one of the "Brown Shirts". Now blaming Sandy. This is too good for MSNBC--need to get him onto Comedy Central. Haaaaaaaaa. Obama is going to turn the Rethugs into puree.

They forget that demo means people and "graphe" means writing or a measure, and accounting. So, if they lose the election, it will only be because of an accounting of the people.

Why, yes, that does sound quite accurate.

If we lose this election it will only be because of the electorate

And a lot of those people weren't white.

See what happens when you give everyone the right to vote?

it will only be because of Demographics.


I propose a new theme along the lines of Jeff Foxworthy's "then you might be a redneck".


(blah, blah, blah_____Fill in the blank____), then it will only be because of demographics".
