Why do you people bother responding to Something Wicked?

 

[Tim-E]

What's hyperbolic about it? It seems like a pretty good summation of a budget written by an Ayn Rand worshiper.

Who grew up dependent on social security, no less.

 

[Aaron Strife]

This worshiping of Obama is well beyond pathetic. Your Great Savior stumbles and bumbles almost as bad as Bush without a teleprompter or pre-written speech in front of him.

When Obama says hyperbolic crap like "Disguised as deficit reduction plan, it is really an attempt to impose a radical vision on our country. It is thinly-veiled Social Darwinism. It is antithetical to our entire history as a land of opportunity and upward mobility for everybody who’s willing to work for it..."

The average American rolls his or her eyes. And then when listening to Romney saying stuff like "I don't think President Obama is a bad guy or anything. I just don't think he knows what he's doing."

People then look at their stagnant paychecks and 401ks, nod, and say "maybe I should start listening to what this Mitt guy has to say."

The average American doesn't give a shit about income equality; they care about their own actual incomes. There's a reason why the "the 99% vs the 1%" is currently a national punch-line and not a serious political talking point.

What the fuck are you talking about?

 

[Tim-E]

He mad.

Since, we can go full into GE mode now.

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2012/04/obama-leads-romney-by-13-in-colorado.html

Barack Obama's opened up a 13 point lead on Mitt Romney in Colorado at 53-40. He's gained 11 points in the state since December when he led just 47-45.

Being above 50 is pretty significant in any of the states that can be targeted as swing states.

 

[Clevinger]

It's insane and scary how those poll numbers can change so much in just four months. God damn, voters are fickle.

 

[gcubed]

now that the primary is over, people need something to do!

 

[ezekial45]

Lol

 

[Black Republican]

those poor southern states in may will have no choice but to vote for mitt

 

[Averon]

Why are people still bitching about Obama's oratory and how he talks? They are obsessed with tearing it down for some reason.

 

[Gruco]

Maybe you can help me, but where is Obama's teleprompter during this?

Haha, the second I saw that line, I knew half of Poligaf had that lined up as the only response needed.

Same reason people harp on Obama's college grades. They want to believe he is stupid and has only got where he is because he is black.

So what you're saying is, the government should spend more? How else, exactly, do you expect people to get more money?

Also, you live in some kind of bubble. What southern state do you live in? And what suburb of what city?

 

[RustyNails]

Same reason why John Kerry was transformed from an American war hero to a traitor. Reverse the strength into weakness by any means.

Who cares, it hasn't stuck. Birth certificate: That stuck. Secret Muslim / angry America-hating Christian: That stuck (especially impressive because those stuck simultaneously.) Socialist: That stuck, despite being completely meaningless.

Of course, he got elected anyway. So much for all their best efforts, much less trying to force a mainstream "teleprompter" meme to no avail for like three years.

I like how you pick the big hyperbolic statement by Obama which was clearly a retort to all the shitty hyperbolic rhetoric being thrown around the Republican primaries, and then compare it to the one sort of sane thing Romney's ever said in this entire process. And even that was pretty hyperbolic when you consider he's basically calling Obama stupid.

 

[Averon]

That 57-38 gap in women in the Washington Post poll is a devastating statistic for Romney to overcome. If he's losing women by over 10 points by November, I can't see how he'll win. And the Obama camp knows it, which is why they are hitting Romney and the GOP hard on women issues.

Mitt throwing oodles of cash at Florida for the GE begins today

 

[zargle]

Would it make sense for Romney to name a vp soon? Or does it benefit him more to wait until closer to the convention? I was just thinking if he were to name sooner he can have double the campaigning ability and maybe have to spend less in places, but there is extra time for the vp candidate to screw stuff up. I dunno, just something I was wondering about.

After the last election cycle they really, really need to wait to find a VP and instead 'float' ideas in the air and let the media vet them before hand just like Obama did. You don't want to do what McCain did and try to grab an untapped market with a no-name candidate with absolutely zero vetting of how that choice could be publicly received. A VP candidate is, as they say, the first official presidential decision you will ever make and is justly scrutinized. He wants someone who fills a niche but at the same time can't become a distraction. No one questioned Obama's reasoning for taking Biden and still no one questions it.

Oh, come on. I know you're a right winger, but I didn't think any rightie here on gaf would be stupid enough to actually believe that moronic talking point.

...which is related to how much inequality there is. There is no first world country on the planet that thrives from having such a huge gap in income equality.

That's what I hate most. The hit-and-run tactic. Yet often these same people accuse PoliGAF of being too insular and biased against conservatives. What the hell do they imagine PoliGAF would think when they do stuff like this?

 

[Oblivion]

One of my favorite parts about the little battle between Obama and the House Republicans was something that came a day after they finished. I forget what news network it was, and I forget who they interviewed (probably Cantor), but the host asked him if the Republicans were gonna pursue more debates like this, and the Republican in question basically said that there was no need because they humiliated Obama enough.

:lol x Avogadro's number

[Narpas Sword0]

It is absolutley astunding that even after the deepwater oil crisis and the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression, 37% of the country still thinks over-regulation is a problem, never mind a bigger problem than an unfair economy that encourages rising inequality instead of shared prosperity.

How about the guy who had Bin Laden killed having only a 7 point lead on terrorism over a guy with 0 foreign policy experience?

 

[Clevinger]

Romney with another knee slapping joke.

 

[gcubed]

How about the guy who had Bin Laden killed having only a 7 point lead on terrorism over a guy with 0 foreign policy experience?

having a democrat with any lead on a republican in that category represents a gigantic boost due to some event

 

[Oblivion]

How about the guy who had Bin Laden killed having only a 7 point lead on terrorism over a guy with 0 foreign policy experience?

1. Bush deserves the vast majority of the credit because obama wouldn't have caught Bin Laden if it wasn't for the intel that was gathered thanks to water boarding.
2. Obama wouldn't have even gotten a chane to get Bin Laden if Bush didn't spend most of his time on Iraq.
3. What's the Obama Amin's contingency plan if/when OBL comes back to life?

Wow, check dis shit out, y'all:

The GOP primary clown show really devastated any nominee's chances with all that crazy mean-spirited rhetoric. Much of it will be forgotten but commercials will bring it all back.

Obama really needs thank clowns like Santorum, Rush Limbaugh, and others for exposing the mean-spirited theocratic underbelly of the GOP for all to see.

 

[Oblivion]

Haha, yeah that's the one that stood out for me.

 

[Door2Dawn]

Romney's vision for the future is as clear as a toilet bowl filled with diarrhea.

 

[speculawyer]

I have no idea why the GOP is fighting the Buffet rule so hard.
Even with it, we'll still have amazingly low tax rate and a pretty regressive system.
But doing it will take the wind out of the sails of the reformers.

But the GOP has long stopped being even tactically rational about taxes.

It is amazing. Perhaps the party has become so 'purified' that it is largely down to the crazy true believers. I mean jeez . . . the whole birth control flap? And the oil company subsidies . . . how can they possible keep defending subsidies to oil companies during a time of massive government deficits and massive profits for oil companies.

The polling on this is just terrible for them . . . but they stick with it. And they can't even come up with rationalizations for these policies.

 

[speculawyer]

Mitt throwing oodles of cash at Florida for the GE begins today

Well, hasn't their great governor solved all their problems?

Florida is a natural state for above-average unemployment . . . it is a travel destination and vacations are probably one of the first things cut back on by the rest of the country.

Yeah, that line won't work well when the state hates the governor far more then Obama.
I've got my parents (registered republicans) calling him Voldemort.

They also hate Mittens... I guess you can say the GOP left them behind.

And now the real game starts. Romney's numbers should start increasing over the next few weeks.

How in the fuck does Romney not lose massively on consistency? He is the least consistent candidate for president in a long goddamn while.

I don't know about Romney's numbers going up, but Obama's will probably go down. Karl Rove is planning a huge SuperPAC ad buy from May to July while Romney's campaign gets more money/organization going.
