+1 What is so divisive about Obama ? That he wants Clinton era tax rates,Mitt Romneys healthcare plan,etc
Actually the guy in pennsylvania said that requiring ID would help Romney, the left wing ran with that trying to say that meant that he was trying to suppress votes, when what he really meant was that it would be helpful not having so many people fradulently voting for the left in the elections.... Secondly, you want to talk about the party of hate? Lets see where the Obama campaign has gone on a week by week basis..... First it was GOP is screwing poor people, next it was GOP is waging a war on women, next it was GOP waging a war on Gays, next it was the GOP waging war on latinos, next it was GOP waging war on students......etc.. etc... the obama campaign has systematically went through every single minority group and tried to make it out as though conservatives hate these people, while they design legislation specifically targeted to each group....There is no legislation designed for everyone, it is specifically targeted in order to create division..... Obama and the democrats are the ones trying to create division because the only way he can win is by making it seem like the everyone in the GOP is racist/sexist..... This shit is straight out of the Saul Alinsky play book, and Obama just so happens to be Alinsky's biggest fan.....
Obama's Hyphenated America When Carolyn Coulson was deciding how to vote in 2008, she found Barack Obamaâs rhetoric âexciting,â especially when he talked about a âdifferent kind of politics.â Then a student at Vanderbilt, she said John McCain was dull in comparison. Coulson, now 25 and a Wall Street consultant, finds no trace of that Obama today. âHis rhetoric is aimed just at specific groups of people, not as someone who would bring the country together,â she said. Identity politics is something you do when you don't have the worst economy since World War II, according to David Woodard, a Clemson University political science professor. âHe cannot say anything about the economy and win,â Woodard explained. From his mini-amnesty pitch to Hispanics, his support of gay marriage and his âidentityâ comments on the death of a black youth, to his turning contraception into a wedge issue, President Obama is shaping his electoral path to victory with identity politics. After the 2008 election, he began losing white voters almost immediately. That began with stimulus spending, escalated with the health-care vote, and was cemented by a series of speeches and seemingly inconsequential decisions, such as getting involved in the goings-on of a Massachusetts police department that led to an awkward âbeer summit.â White voters make up a majority of the electoral pie, and white Democrats in the middle- to low-income working class are the soul of that coalition. In 2008, white voters without college degrees made up nearly 40 percent of all voters. In the 2010 midterm election, when Republicans crushed Democrats up and down the ballot nationally, less than 33 percent of the white working class voted for House Democrats â a record low. The latest Gallup in-depth poll shows only 43 percent of white 18- to 29-year-olds plan to vote for Obama, down 9 points from the 52 percent backing him in 2008; his support is down 9 points among postgraduate women, too. Despite Coulsonâs education, profession and gender, she is as yet unmoved by Obama despite being a clear target of his identity politics. Those numbers are why you must picture Obama's strategy as creating a majority coalition of "hyphens" (African-American, Mexican-American, gay/lesbian-Americans, etc.), said Eldon Eisenach, a Tulsa University political science professor. âRecalling Teddy Roosevelt's rejection of âhyphenated Americansâ and his call for national citizenship, one might add that hyphens can't govern ⦠in the national interest,â Eisenach added. Obamaâs campaign talks about âwinning the futureâ because that is what he is trying to do politically, according to Baylor University political scientist Curt Nichols: âDemonstrate for Democrats a new path to political power, one that disregards traditional Democrats in favor of a coalition focused on women, blacks, Hispanics and gays.â
Sadly I agree, I was getting my hopes up as it got closer last month, that there may be a possibility of Romney getting elected, but the media quickly stomped that out and went after Romney hard in order to protect Obama. I dont even like Romney but he would be better than Obama, but it has became quite clear there is no level the media wont sink to in order to see Obama re-elected..... thus Romney is screwed...... Just look at the coverage of Obamacare and the supreme court last month, the whole month leading into it the ruling, the media was talking about how the supreme court is extreme, and in the tank for the right, and the funniest thing about that reporting is that there was never a doubt in ANYONES eyes how the 4 liberal justices were going to rule, but there is no talk about how they are ideologues who dont care about the constitution, yet when Roberts jumps sides the liberal media spends the next week talking about how he supposedly upheld justice, and it was a fantastic ruling....
The good news for righties about Obama is also bad news for righties long term. I posted the long article on that elsewhere. [Here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=245446&highlight=very+bad+news ]
