“Angry” money gives funding edge to GOP and Romney

“Angry” money gives funding edge to GOP and Romney. The “angry” money was with Obama in 2008, but not now, apparently. Of course, in 2008 it was “righteous anger of the people” and in 2012 it’s “racists angry that a black guy is president.” Soros good, Koch bad. Blah, blah, blah, puke.

  • And when you spend 3 1/2 years lying about everything, accepting no responsibility for your mistakes, and taking extravagant multimillion dollar vacations while people are losing their jobs and homes, chances are somebody's going to get pissed off. The Lame Stream Media can no longer hide the truth about this narcissistic loser.

  • "Soros good, Koch bad."

    Oh, I don't know - I think things go better with Koch.

    Sorry. Couldn't resist.

  • Some fear Romney will be mererly the lesser of two evils other, that he is just as bad as Obama but I state no, look at the bright side of things.
    At least people in the US will know that voting or protesting isn´t enough, that if they want change or even just revenge, they´ll have to take it back. That angry action is what is needed, especially when the money part comes in rather short supply.

    Conservatives also will know better than allow the dirty tactics that brought down candidatures, have all the proofs to know that the only way to appease and get along with liberals is to become exactly like them, let the GOP become Dem Party 2. No negociations, that works only with those who actually want peace, there is only ongoing struggle vs unconditional surrender.

  • What happens if, God forbid, he gets elected again and is coming to the end of his 2nd term? Are we all racist then because term limits kicks in?

    • Yes, of course. Everyone knows that the term limitations on the President were instituted well in advance of Obama, knowing that someday a black man would be President, and we would need a way to throw him out of office because of the color of his skin.

      Don't we?

  • When is enough, enough?
    40+ years of the Great Society.
    Minority set asides.
    Affirmative action.
    Busing.
    Section 8 housing.
    Shakedowns of corporations by Jackson, Sharpton etal.
    And finally the presidency of the USA.
    No one in my family EVER owned anyone. I was brought up a liberal "we're all the same" house and went to liberal Catholic schools. I've hired dozens of minorities and most of them are either stupid or refuse to work. I've given them the benefit of the doubt at the expense of white employees far too often. I've donated to Cain & other black politicians because of their ideas.
    After three years of this buffoon I've had enough. Call me racist if you want to - I don't care anymore.

    • Mistella, are you sure you're not me in disguise?
      Raised a liberal demoncrat, went to Catholic school, hired minorities that ripped me off and did no work.
      Do you see a theme here?

      • Why are either of you still liberal? As the saying goes 'If your not a liberal when your young, you have no heart. If your still a liberal when your old, you have no brain'.

        • Not sure if you are talking to me or not, but I am not a political liberal at all. I am a firm life-long fiscal conservative.

          Socially I am tolerant. So long as what other people are doing doesn't affect others, or hurt any vulnerable people, it's not my business. For example, I have no issue with people being gay, but as soon as they try to convey special rights to themselves, I protest. I want the government to stay out of MY life, and so I am willing to stay out of everyone else's life so long as no innocents are being hurt. It doesn't mean I approve of whatever they are doing - just that it's not my concern.

      • Yup - me too. Owned my own business and had a black female employee threaten to sue me for discrimination. The ONLY thing that saved me was my other black employees who told her lawyer to go to hell - they refused to sign affidavits against me, and told my lawyer that they would support me. Naturally, the leech dropped the suit.

        Honestly, it was a fluke - the girl was young and didn't have enough experience in suing - had she formed more of a bond with the others, they might have sided with her, no matter how good a boss I was. My guess is that she eventually managed to sue SOMEONE and win.

        So yeah - put me in the IDGAF camp about being called a racist. It's not the race, it's the ghetto, entitled, money-grubbing mentality that makes me sick. And I could care less what color they are - if they act that way, they are scum.

        • You ought to try it in Florida! Very few black people in my area (Tampa suburbs), but some of the laziest, most worthless piles of crap you'll ever meet. You'll find their picture next to trash in the Encyclopedia.

  • I have several friends that are sick of the racist accusations. Nobody wants a president that you can't criticize - bitching about the prez is as American as apple pie. I'm just saying that being labeled a racist because you're ideology isn't in sync with the president's DOES anger a lot of voters and it may be a factor in the election.

    • Why is it the democrats are the only ones who insert racism into the dialog and then accuse Republicans of being racist? I have never heard a Republican make a racist comment, directly or with innuendo.

  • With all the fund raisers that "the president" attends you'd think his war chest would be overflowing and that he'd be way ahead of Romney. I'm with Ooddballz, I don't care where or why as long as it gets rid of this MT suit currently in the WH.

  • Desperate money to save the republic. I've always hated socialism, if you want to call that racist.

    • I kind of like the jilted dance partner theory. It might not be accurate, but it pleases me to think it is.
