2012 U.S. Presidential Election

Yeah, I tend to think that it's a lie.

In the meantime, you've been rather quiet today since the videos surfaced.

I'd love to hear your response to what Romney said on them. The story seems to have broken a record for number of responses on the Huffington Post.

Because I tend to not double post?

What is to say about them? They are a rather non event, even less so than what Obama said about those clinging to their guns and religion.

He said that 47% of Americans are freeloaders.

Yes and how many Americans do you actually think consider themselves freeloaders? To be offended they have to think of themselves as such in the first place, and not many people are ready to admit they are a taker and not a giver. That is why this seems to be even less of a non event than Obama's "Gun Clinger" comment, as while that insulted people who actually like guns or religion ( In a swing state no less! ), this really doesn't.

Texas is a swing state???

That's the funniest thing you've said since you implied that the RNC was more successful than the DNC. Texas is a red state, and has been so for a LONG time.

Edit: I take that back, I thought you said "I'm in a swing state".

It's been a long day, and my eyes are a little blurry from writing so long.

Umm Obama was talking about Pennsylvania voters when he was talking about clinging to guns and religion.

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," Obama said in April 2008, before he was elected to the presidency. "It's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

See my edit. It's been a long day.

Speaking of Pennsylvania, seems that the voter ID law there is soon to be on its last legs. The Supreme Court sent it back to the lower court for reconsideration, with instructions that they could only uphold it if proof could be found that NO voters would be disenfranchised by it.

Their deadline to find proof is October 2nd.

Btw, NONE of the justices voted to uphold it, not even the three Republicans.
