I completely agree with the problems you've cited. I don't think we are actually that far off. The main difference is a presumption of innocence or guilt, before seeing the facts. From the preliminary facts that I've seen, I would tend to lean toward the idea that "predatory" actions were...

"I didn't leave the Democrat errrr ummm ... Republican Party, the party left me!" Sound familiar?

Yes, I believe a recent study of the nation agreed, although it was broken down by state, not religion. But Utah was the standout in terms of charitable donations. Re: the perception of disqualifying Romney's contributions on the basis that they were given to his church and not some random...

Absolutely, given the current environment, it would require a good amount of flavoring to sell it the way Mitt wants to. I think you've identified the main problem actually. He wasn't in it to create jobs, and neither are the vast majority of organizations. Only the government creates...

The releasing of the returns isn't the theory. All the reasons concocted for why he doesn't are the theories.

It will likely be right around 10% which is required in the mormon church. The 10% requirement is actually common across most christian churches which is where the word "tithe" comes from. It means 1/10 of annual income.

Romney---28% Gingrich---23% Paul---19% Santorum---15% Huntsman---8% Perry---5%

:D I'm not sure that I can say that I have a preferred outcome for this election yet. I don't think that most issues are quite as critical as other people think they are. And the failures of congress right now are much more egregious to me than those of the president. I simply don't...

Sure, I was focusing only on areas where mormon populations are heavy and there is much less anti-mormon bias there. Even though many of the attacks you cite are basic political propoganda and scare tactics, much like Obama's radical pastor, there is absolutely a large anti-mormon bias. But a...

hmmmm... I see your point, but imo those making that argument are missing the entire point of capitalism and investment. The point that I'm about to make is why his Bain history is so easily defended. It's not just about how many jobs were created in the companies Bain was involved in...

Ok, I'll agree there, even though Obama strategists pretty much agree that without FL, re-election will be a nightmare. Let's focus on the other Hispanic votes... The states with the strongest Hispanic influence are in order: 1-New Mexico (5 electoral votes) 2-California (55) 3-Texas...

The only people who care about these types of conspiracies are those who have already decided against that candidate. Because they already had their mind made up, they don't change the election. The only people demanding Obama's birth certificate were those trying to prove he didn't have it...

He has been trying to get the nomination, which only means campaigning in the early states. The polls you cite are national polls. It is VERY different. Consider an important state like Florida that will likely decide the election. Romney has actively campaigned there and according to you...

IMO, gonna be about as big an issue as Obama's birth certificate. Fun food for conspiracy theorists, but not enough to decide the election.

I realize that is what the current polls say, but keep in mind that Romney has done almost zero national campaigning. He dropped out of the 2008 race pretty quickly. The fact that it is even that close this early in the primaries, should be discouraging to the Dems.

I find this quote interesting, because I read that article and it was anything but "devastating". It was actually filled with instances of the author trying to justify his methods for reporting the stats that would make Bain look worse than reality. This is just from memory, but... --The...

No, I think you misunderstood. Blacks alone were only about 12%. So if he kept all of them, he already has around 12%. Personally I think that is almost exactly offset by the number of people who vote against him simply because he is black. Also, an honest person knows that a lot of his...

Your comment got me curious, so I turned on Rush Limbaugh for a bit. Sure enough, it wasn't long before one of the ads came on. Then two minutes later, disaster struck for Newt. Immediately following the ad, Rush himself goes off on a rant about what garbage those Bain ads are, and how he...

Blacks/Hispanics only made up 19% of the voters in 2008, according to Pew Research Center. You are right that Blacks voted for Obama at like 95%, but for Hispanics it was only like 65%, and new trends show Hispanics increasingly favoring the GOP.

Well, I think it is a bit stronger than you're suggesting, but your last statement is correct. My point was that even with all that rock solid support, he still only got 52% of the vote against a horrible opponent from a party that everyone wanted kicked out of the white house. The odds...
