You've got to give credit to Ann Coulter for opening that path allowing Caitlyn Jenner to feel safe enough to come out.

somebody do a search and find out how many times bobber says "democrats"

What can I say? You idiots provide a lot of material.

Edit: And what's your point? Are you defending scumbags like UberNeuman who are nearly indistinguishable from the evil Republicans you hate so much, just because he's on your "team"? If so, YOU are the problem with politics in the US, just as much as Ann Coulter or any other person you hate.

He's pointing out that you're just on another of your little rants because someone was mean to Republicans... Heavens and Stars!:'(

By the way! Don't ever crack a smile. Your family is going to think your in the middle of having a stroke.

BTW...
Suppressing the minority vote has actually had the opposite effect.
Pissing off minorities to the point they jump thru the hoops created in republican states to... VOTE.
And the only way to stir up the white vote like Fox predicts is to demonize all minorities, including the gays and their advances thru the courts by hyping that up into a false sense of direct threat for each and every American white man and white woman and their white children.
In other words, play on their fears, create illogical fears, and then suck up to the simple minded white voter.
The problem is, a hell of a lot of white voters love Bill Clinton.
And that same stupidity that might stir up the white voter also stirs up the white voter whom believe a vote for Hillary is a vote for Bill.
So right there the republicans lose a huge chunk of their white voter base.
Ain't no love like the love for Bill Clinton.
After all, Bill talks their language, is as sexually screwed up as they are so they relate, and by voting for Hillary they know Bill will always be close by.

In past elections the polls have been very close, especially the last few months.
It will be interesting to see if Hillary can maintain a huge advantage through out the cycle.
And I see no republican candidate that has the advantage or the popularity that Hillary easily takes for granted.
The press lives on her every word. Something they have never done with any of the republican candidates.
I say just let her have it, save the country all the time, money, and stress, and republicans can start planning for 2024 instead.

I think a winning strategy would be to continue with the coalition of racial bigots, religious fanatics, homophobes, sociopaths, psychopaths, warmongers, xenophobes, imbeciles and congenital idiots as well as all the other forms of the mentally conditioned to nibble crumbs from the hands of the rich.

Still better than what we have with the other team.

So you don't think there's anything wrong with going after a female Republican based on her appearance rather than her ideas?

You're a scumbag. No surprise there though, you're a Democrat, so you're inherently a scumbag.

You need a new shtick. Do you really want to spend this fleeting existence being mad at democrats? I can think of 100 things more important then constantly railing against the opposing team. Especially when you do it with no original thought and say the same thing over and over again. Explore a little bit.

LOL, that's hilarious coming from one of the many parrots in this forum who spends his entire life consumed with thoughts of Republicans and how awful they are.

Pot, meet kettle.

Really? Is that how I spend my entire life? Its ok to pick a side but when your entire response for 10 years is "but democrats" lets get real. Imagine eternal life. Would you do this for eternity? Then why do it now?

See the same horseshit from both sides. You're mistaken for thinking one side has a lock on this behavior especially on this forum.

Boomerang, TH, you, michal1980, etc, etc, etc. as some examples who demonstrate the same behaviors as you just railed against above.

Because thats all you see doesnt mean thats all there is. You want to believe we all think like you do but the reality isnt that. Reality is much more balanced.

lol, such a hypocrite. the first sentence you criticize an individual for attacking someone based on looks and the second sentence you go full retard and lump about half of all Americans as one big set of scumbags.

bravo sir, at least your hypocrisy doesn't include molesting little boys, at least i hope not.

The problem many of the righties have here is that it's not a one way attack game of righties attacking dems. Political talk radio is way over 90% righty based with guys like Limbaugh spending all day everyday attacking dems. Righties are AOK with that but get there panties in a wad when the table is turned.

Go to any of the website like the comment section at FoxNews and it's overwhelmingly righty attacking lefty. If anyone complains about the lack of balance or unfairness in the attacks they're attacked.

So, in summary, the complaint by bobblehead is just a hissy fit because the left isn't obliging and leaving there nonsense uncontested.

He's not a libertarian at least, so its likely he's provided some value to society.

The "max white votes" strategy is one that the Republicans will play at their peril.

the percentage of white voters in Presidential elections has dropped steadily in every election since 1976 saved one.
Democrats have over that time averaged ~40% of the votes among white voters. Obama got 43% of the white votes in 2008 and 39% in 2012. He may win 10% of the whites in Mississippi but well over 50% of the white voters in places with few minorities such as New Hampshire or Vermont.


http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/...white-voters-on-par-with-other-democrats?lite

the issues isn't the percentage of white voters, it is where the votes are coming from. The election is determined in 51 separate elections and only closely contested in the battleground states. Who cares if Republicans get 95% of the white votes in Alabama/Tennessee/Texas instead of 90%. The Republicans will need to concentrate their efforts in the industrial rustbelt and midwest i.e. OH, IA, WI, PA, MI without energizing the minority votes. The problem is that battleground states such as OH, VA, FL, CO, PA, etc all have growing or sizable minority populations. The Republicans will need to continue to get more and more of the white votes in those states as the percentage of white voters decline as a percentage of the electorate. In 2004, Bush was able get 58% of the white votes in part by driving conservative voters to the poll with wedge issue i.e. gay marriage bans in many battle ground states. In 2016, if the percentage of white votes declines to 70% from 72%, Bush's 2004 numbers would not be enough for Republicans to win.
