You cannot win the Presidency without support from the other party....Reagan is probably the greatest example, and so is Obama. This is why Romney remarks are so damaging to his chances. It is basically his admission that he cannot win independents and/or swing voters. He himself is pessimistic in other words and is not doing anything to change it. Didn't anyone else watch Morning Joe this am?

Outside of minor gaffs his overall take on Palestine is pretty accurate imo.

I disagree but it doesn't really matter. The President of the United States, the position Romney aspires to, must express a recognition that both sides have legitimate grievances. More importantly, the President must hold out hope of a just and equitable solution. Romney just expressed the opposite view and wrote off the Palestinians and their aspirations for peace ans sovereignty.

Utterly reprehensible.

I don't go by personal observation. I go by what left wing media tells me.

His joke about how if he was born in Mexico he would have a leg up pissed me off. The comments about the 47% didn't surprise me at all. They've been running their mouths about how they think that the poor don't pay taxes and suck on the government teat. These are just more of the Randian, sociopathic, bloviating, pitiless opinions being voiced when they don't think anyone is listening.

I'm going to enjoy the debates immensely.

If you are an the 7th district in Virginia give Col. Wayne Powell a look see and your vote and send that snickering, POS, possum faced, punk Eric Cantor his walking papers.

Your daughter's teenage mom friend from school. Not friend, but "my teenage daughter"... Again, no he is not... Your mind set tells you "it takes a village” well that is wrong. It takes a family! Not one cent comes from the government. And for those that need help, yes they should get help! and only untill they can make it on their own. But sadly, far too many turn it into a life style and learn to just get by with government help.
Who the hell do you think he is talking about? Who? The black man? 47% of the people in this country is the gang banggin' black man?

You people are amazing, truly amazing.

I'll stop now before I tell you how strongly I feel.
