Mr. Romney asked on what other issues Mr. Obama would disclose his plans only after re-election.
“He wants us to re-elect him so we can find out what he will do,” Mr. Romney said.
“His intent is on hiding,” he said. “You and I are going to have to do the seeking.”
This has been a presiding theme over this whole campaign season.
"The first term has been a scam! A charade! All Obama has been doing with his pro-military centrism and business-friendly economic approach is lulling us to sleep! Can't you see?!"
Which, I mean, if that REALLY is Obama's plan . . . bra-vo, sir. Well played.
Well I guess they can't really use the "Who IS Barack Obama? What do we REALLY know about him?" line anymore. Or rather, they updated it to this - "he'll do everything you hate! We promise!"
I'm thinking whatsherface from Arizona will be tapped for VP. Or at least a contender.
She's about as far from Massachusetts as you can get, she's certifiably Tea Party-style insane, and she would make Mitt Romney look like a goddamned Franklin-esque statesman.

Also would shift the Latino vote from 7:3 to 4:1 all by herself.
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.

The GOP might think she'd be good for the woman vote.
You know, b/c she has one of those... what's the word... vaginas.
And apparently the Arizona GOP thinks that government + vaginas is a winning combination.
I completely forgot that Democrats for McCain was a thing. How can you be so dedicated to your democratic candidate, in this case Hillary Clinton, that you'd help the campaign of the opposite party candidate despite all logical arguments.

Either look at the generational thread or the Zimmerman thread. Two things: Boomers and racism.

Yes, but with all of the new laws passing that make it exceptionally difficult, if not illegal, for Latinos to vote I don't think that will be as much of an advatange as we're predicting.

There are a couple of theories, there:
1) They weren't for-real, they were an astroturf movement created by the Republicans in hopes of hurting the Democrats in the general.
2) Racism.
They come off as real and pissed off by just how brutal the primary campaign got in those final months.
We'll probably never see another primary go on as long as that one without a clear nominee. Even this one right now it has been Romney's to lose since 2008, let alone the last few months.

How much capital would it be to rename 'conservative' to 'regressive' cause I'm pretty sure the stuff they claim they want to protect doesn't actually exist anymore.
I know it's more of a joke, but I'm gonna ask for real.
Do they really believe, I mean truly, that this county would be better off if women and minorities couldn't vote, we were ran by strict theocratic values, and that poor people should give more money to the rich?
I mean, is it just a show they put on for the hard cores or is this something that actually goes on in their brains?

Man, I wish I hadn't deleted it, but there used to be a version of the "who is Atlas?" poster from Bioshock 1 that had been photoshopped as, "who is Obama?" floating around. Looks like it could get some use again.

I'd expect such men to be intelligent enough to know we can't regress, but pretend they want to in order to stir up the base. Are they true believers or acting for votes?

You're more likely to find true believers among the voters. They don't usually have the education, access to better knowledge or are conditioned to thrive in their ignorance. The leadership usually are smart enough not to buy into the bullshit but there are exceptions especially with Tea Partiers gaining traction in top positions. That said, even the upper classes can be ignorant or malevolent enough to believe in social darwinism since it benefits them politically.

I mean, that's the classic "Team Evil v. Team Stupid" question.
But generally speaking most of them believe, at least a bit, that life was better in the 1950s when they were children and that our current state of affairs is because of moral dereliction and creeping communism.
It's not like they admit to themselves they hate black people, but in their subconscious black = poor = lazy/selfish because only lazy/selfish people are unable to earn more money than they spend.
And you know, there's even a credible point to their theory that feminism did bad things. If women were proper domestic slaves and the average household only had one income again prices would HAVE to be down where a single income could still support a household. But just as minimum wage hikes do (slowly) get chased price hikes as businesses find they can get away with those higher prices, so to did the working women cause prices to rise as two-income families had more money to be fleeced.
Every twist and turn in their ill-logic has a pattern, it's just buried under fallacies and fail.
I think the real swing in the election between a big win and a close run thing for Obama will come at the debates. If he can get one with fair rules and is willing to ask Romney tough questions based on things he has said in the primary then Romney will be destroyed. His positions as stated in the primary cannot win an election, he has no chance. If Romney can avoid all real debates, and just focus on his main campaign policy of 'I'm a white guy with a normal name and good hair' it will be close.

If you're looking for Tea Party nutjob governor from the southwest with a vagina, I think you need to come east one state. If that's the direction Mitt's going to go, my money's on Susana Martinez. She's like Jan Brewer and Marco Rubio smashed together in a single Palin-endorsed package.

Willard Mitt Romney is his birth name.
And I'd argue that none of those are normal names.
BTW I was aware that The Office started in the UK, I think that was just intended as some bad Poe's Law trolling. Sorry guys. Though now I need to find this Japan sketch, so it all worked out for the best.
And man, Paul Ryan as a running mate? That would be two powerful hairlines for Obama to overcome.

Was the thing a reference to the Chilean version which they are all copies of?
Haha, fantastic.
No, there was a SNL skit when Steve Carell hosted about how Gervais stole the idea from Japan. It's pretty hilarious
