We don't know that, but if he wins, I doubt we'll see much of a difference.Frank Reynolds wrote:

\WHEN Mitt Romney was governor of liberal Massachusetts, he supported abortion, gun control, tackling climate change and a requirement that everyone should buy health insurance, backed up with generous subsidies for those who could not afford it. Now, as he prepares to fly to Tampa to accept the Republican Party’s nomination for president on August 30th, he opposes all those things. A year ago he favoured keeping income taxes at their current levels; now he wants to slash them for everybody, with the rate falling from 35% to 28% for the richest Americans.
All politicians flip-flop from time to time; but Mr Romney could win an Olympic medal in it (see article). And that is a pity, because this newspaper finds much to like in the history of this uncharismatic but dogged man, from his obvious business acumen to the way he worked across the political aisle as governor to get health reform passed and the state budget deficit down. We share many of his views about the excessive growth of regulation and of the state in general in America, and the effect that this has on investment, productivity and growth.

You truly believe that the Republicans in Congress are blocking his legislation from passing because he is black? You honestly believe that? They're politicians, they would spit on their own mother if she was of the wrong political party.Varegg wrote:
You guys are such twats ... I didn't say he got elected by a landslide because he is black or that he is being blocked solely because he is black, but then again you can't really dismiss the fact that he is black has somewhat to do with it ...
So racism is a problem but not in politics? ... what an amazingly ignorant observation ...
The only people who accuse the opposition of racism are the zealots that can't understand how anyone could possibly have a different viewpoint from their own. Racism is the easy rationalization for these types of people. Why else wouldn't everyone want 'free healthcare', 'free education' etc.
Besides, for every white person that voted against the guy because he was black, just as many people voted him into office precisely because he was black. White guilt, black people wanting one of their own in office etc. It's a retarded argument.
Pretty much. If he wins from here I will be utterly amazed.UnkleRukus wrote:

We all know that Romney has torpedoed his campaign.
Obama still leads by only three points. Not great for an incumbent, especially after his supposed "bump." I'm fairly positive that he'll still win, though, but don't really have any strong feelings about it whichever way it goes.UnkleRukus wrote:

Much like one of the most beloved Presidents of recent memory: Bill Clinton.Jay wrote:

This election could go either way.
oh yes Mr. FEOS, congress is using it's constitutional given power - in the house to not bring bills to vote, and in the senate to filibuster. the congress is not acting partisan at all, our countries credit downgrade and the sequestration are natural events that just happened, we don't have a farm bill for the first time, and the esteemed Senator from Kentucky didn't proclaim that it's the republicants goal to see Mr. Obama serve only one term.FEOS wrote:
God forbid we exercise the system of checks and balances. What a fucking horror show.
I never said it was a partisan issue. Only one of us is laying blame at the feet of either/both party(ies).13urnzz wrote:

you seem to think this is a partisan issue when i'm seeing it as a governance issue - the republicants are boo-hooing because they aren't in the white house and the demicants are crying because they don't have access to the purse strings of congress. there's plenty of blame to go around but what America does not have is time. while both sides are crying, nothing gets done and business of governance goes undone. i hope the fiscal cliff wakes up voters of every party, and i hope one day America has the backbone to enact term limits and campaign reform.
