Romney tells millionaires what he really thinks of Obama voters

....and a huge election year. Politics always take the cake. You've been around a lot longer than I. You should know this.

 

even a staged terrorist attack favors obama me thinks, so unless romney has a tape of obama getting gangbanged by the kkk, hes boned

 

crossing racial barriers, eliminating hatred. How would that video not favor Obama?

 

I guesss they can always break out the "where is the birth certificate" if that is the best they got. . . people seemed to be more concerned about that than foreign affairs right now. Republican party needs to get in touch with what is really improtant to Americans.

 

Silly people. They can live in Antarctica where you can save lots of money in refrigeration costs and air conditioning. Homes are cheap and so are property taxes. I think this is a great point to make in determining what portion of Americans are "rich" while making 200k.

Back to your rants about dildos.

 

As far as the impact of this tempest in a tea cup, about what I expected:

The 36% were almost certainly already predisposed to vote for Obama and this just added to that determination. For 63 percent of those polled, it won't have any impact or may even make them more likely to support Romney. The media are having fun with it, but it's not going to make a difference in the election. Voter turnout in various segments of the population will have a much more significant impact.

 

is that a request?

you high waisted, part down the middle types have a kinky side

 

I agree, turnout in the swing states with as close as this election is polling, looks like it will be the difference maker.

In 2008 the Democrats did a very good job of improving turnout in key states, turning nailbiters into 2 to 4% margins of victory.

This time they will have to do even better to counteract the Obama hangover effect: Obama voters from 2008 that will no way switch, but are far less enthusiastic about Obama this time. And it is from both side: the left who feel betrayed that the "revolution" they dreamed of didn't happen (Single payer, Guantamimo, Climate Change, War on Drugs, civil rights, etc.); the moderates who didn't see Obama as the promised transformative bridge builder who would repair things for "all". Instead they see a mostly failed economic policy and no new ideas.

 

Well, e_blazer, I saw it the other way. Those who said no difference were probably already firmly committed, mostly to Obama. The undecided/swing/lightly committed were the ones to whom it would make a difference.

And the "more likely" were probably the ones who watch Rush Limbaugh saying right on, run on hating those parasites, fellow multimillionaire!

 

This is pretty much what he has said all along, every time he has opened his mouth, ever since he decided to run. And more importantly this is what his investments, his takeovers, and his actions at Bain said of him. I don't see any big revelation going on because nobody with eyes, ears, and a brain thought he gave a rat's ass about "common" folk before anyway.

 

I can see how you could interpret it that way, but the fact is that polling numbers this week have shown the race tightening, not Obama increasing his lead. That makes me think that my interpretation is correct. Of course, the numbers could look different by next week so it's a bit of an open question.

 

I'm struck at the difference in the strategies the two parties employ, and it's opposite as to what I used to think.

The Democrats are the ones engaged in class warfare, race baiting and identity politics. And it's now the Republicans talking to people simply as Americans, without emphasis on your race, color, creed or economic standing. One side tells you that you don't have a chance because of predetermined markers and the other side simply wants people to have opportunity to make of themselves what they wish. As a former registered Democrat, I don't recognize the party I used to call home.

 

well, unless you are the 47% that are so poor they drag the country down, then they dont worry about you

 

What if Romney was saying he didn't worry about trying to get their vote because they were already decided? How do you know he doesn't care about them personally?

Romney has already said he doesn't worry about the very poor, because there are programs to provide their basic needs. He doesn't care about the wealthy, because they can provide for themselves. He cares about the middle class and getting them more opportunity. The economic prescriptions provided over the past three and a half years haven't worked. Perhaps it's time to try a formula that has actually been shown to work?

 

Yes, in the video that immediately cuts off for 1-2 minutes right after he says that.

I'm blaming it on anti-Islam YouTube videos.

 

e_blazer, polls are showing the opposite! In several key swing states Obama has either gotten ahead or increased his lead. Polls on key issues/attributes show Obama ahead, sometimes by huge margins, on everything except deficit where Romney is up 3%.

Howsomeever, all will be revealed in about 6 weeks, won't it?

 

Rasmussen, which was the most accurate in the 2008 election, has Obama up 47% to 45% for Romney, which is tighter than it was after the President got his post-convention bounce. As you say though, all will be revealed in about 6 weeks.

 

An interesting study. As a pretend economist (ABD), almost every single indicator is negative, yet the perception is breaking down by party.

There are some Romney voters that Obama can't do anything about either..... like Bud Johnson

 

Yep. Do you think Obama courts his vote?
