HEY ASSHOLE...

I'm black and I have yet to get my gift from Obama that wasen't offered to whitey. Hasen't come in the mail yet. Hey the USPS is a government agency why hasen't it shipped? I should quit my job and wait at home for my gift. Ooops can't do that it would destroy your perception of 47% of the population. Hey maybe if I owned a show horse I would have gotten $77K in the mail.

What a dick. I'm sure that attutude will help the Republican Party with the minority vote next time.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is telling top donors that President Barack Obama won re-election because of the “gifts” he had already provided to blacks, Hispanics and young voters and because of the president’s effort to paint Romney as anti-immigrant.

so halting deportations and boosting student aid had nothing to do with hispanics and young people voting for him?

#1 way to win the minority vote - say it's all their fault. lol mittens, you're doing it wrong.

Every single one of the moderate Congressmen need to denounce this. That's how you begin to win the minority vote. Expel the bullshit from the party.

Yeah, like Bush's tax refund checks in the mail wasn't a bribe to voters? With borrowed money? Democrats are rookies when it comes to bribery.

I'm also glad that Romney is continuing to show his true colors though. He's a prick. Hell most of the GOP primary contenders were assholes. I think only Cain and Paul would be people I'd even like to have a conversation with. The rest are outright assholes (Perry), or religious-right social acolytes who love to press their theological views through the legislative process, also known as a Theocracy (see Iran / Ayatollah Sayyid
Ruhollah Khomeini).

Obama, him bad. Good Republicans never had chance. Evil always win. Stoops low to scoop votes. Bad, very bad.

He has to try and explain to the money men that it was out of anyone's control in order to keep funds flowing into the party. The fact that the Romney campaign was apparently far inferior to the Obama campaign based on the turnout has to be buried as quickly as possible.

I liked this rephrasing by Matt Yglesias: "Romney says Obama won with dastardly plan to make life better for voters."

I wish you'd hear from Immigration lawyers of the difference between Bush INS and Obama INS. I don't feel like spelling it out for you.

P.S. Romney is back! Woot!

I saw some statistics where 98% of black women voted for President Obama, 93% of black men/women overall, and 71% Hispanic overall this election. Though the popular vote for President Obama was only 50.6%. Wild.

obama stopped deportations for some people and then supports welfare, thats the gift so they vote for him
Over 60% of welfare beneficiaries are white and the rural poverty rate is about 3% higher than in cities.

OTOH, the ten states with the most educated electorate voted for Obama while 9 out of the 10 with the lowest educational attainment went for Romney. Were all those postgraduates living in fear of deportation or on welfare.

That my friend, is the real America.

And white people are 78% of the population which implies that minorities are represented at roughly double their share of the population. (assuming your 60% number is correct)

This is what most do not understand. These people think that going to school is nothing more than a liberal plot to mush their brains. They also think that anybody who goes to school is somehow inferior and can't make it on their own without some stupid piece of paper.

I see it among the rights quite a bit.

Jindal slams Romney for ‘gifts’ comment about minorities, young voters

(CNN) – Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana fiercely shot back at Mitt Romney’s claim Wednesday that President Barack Obama outmatched the 2012 Republican presidential nominee by offering “gifts” to African-Americans, Hispanics and young voters.

“I absolutely reject that notion,” Jindal, who was a surrogate for Romney’s campaign, said at the Republican Governors Association conference in Las Vegas. “I think that’s absolutely wrong.”

Seriously, will you people just give the country over to us asian immigrants? We work harder, are more educated, and basically already dominate the engineering and higher sciences fields. We take relatively little government assistance and don't try to get up in other people's business.

All the rest of you are just bringing us down...
