Republicans to Jump Ship If Romney Blows The Debate

[unit321]

The bolded is a mindset that never made sense to me.

Lets say Romney gets up there and starts talking about bringing back indentured servitude for blacks, lets say he wants to invade our allies and tax the middle-class at 55%. How are you (or anyone) going to back that type of candidate just because "he's a Republican"?

Now, granted, this is an extreme example but I guess I just don't get the "my party can do no wrong" mentality.

I can spin that too. Obama can get up there and say "We are going to be a communist country. Share the wealth. Obamacare for all. We got your back. Plus, we're taking your Bentleys and mansions. We are all going to be the same income level." That's an extreme example too.
I know Romney is not going to go to the extremes and you know Obama is not going to go to the extremes.

It's like this, I don't support everything that a Republican candidate believes in. BUT, I support more issues that a Republican candidate believes in than a Democratic candidate. I support probably 98% of Romney's views and about 10% of Obama's views. I'm not saying I disagree with everything that Obama supports but it's a lot less.

I hear you but you said you're voting Republican no matter what. I'm just wondering if that's because you are down with Romney or the party. Like if the next candidate has wildly different views than Romney (probably won't happen, but hypothetically), are you still going to vote Republican?

I'm down with the party. I could vote for the Libertarian or Constitutional party candidate but that to me is wasting a vote.

I know there are the mirror flipside of me on the Democratic side. They believe in "most" of the issues that the Democratic party supports so they will vote for the Democratic candidate. Voting for a third party like the Green Party (eco-friendly hippies) is like wasting a vote even though the third party candidate might support 90% of the person's beliefs while the Democratic candidate supports 85%.

It's not a black thing either. If the Godfather Pizza dude made it this far, I would have voted for him even with his affair ridden past. Why? Because of his party affiliation.

Romney botched it. Obeezy has a lot of gaps but Romney can't even get his footing

And he has been drinking the partisan Kool Aid, rather than focusing on the obvious and glaring issues that have come up during Obama's presidency. Maybe he was waiting till the home stretch, but he has done a lot of damage to himself in the interim

Real talk, I was hoping that "CEO president" shyt would come to fruition and dude would be a straight talking solutions focused no nonsense candidate... he has failed on every one of my hopes for him.

what makes you think a CEO could be president? how many big time CEO's have done very well as even governors? not many. business savvy in a country where trying to find the loop hole is the name of the game. doesnt really turn into a great prez. even in a back economical down turn. what a CEO thats been balling would do is what romney is talking about. trickle down economics. why? because thats how they got rich to begin with.

I'm sorry, but that's the dumbest shyt I've seen in this thread. Typical of a weak-minded, easily influencable, uneducated voter.

A lot of people voted for Obama just because he was black. That's it. Bottom line. They didn't care what issues he believed and what he didn't believe in. They just wanted the first black President in office. Didn't matter if he was Democrat or not.

You tell those voters they are weak-minded, easily influenced, and uneducated?

A good CEO is a problem solver. A culture changer. Regardless of how I feel about dude, Romney's resume as a CEO is pretty solid. And he's not dumb. But he's easily distracted, to the point that it looks like his campaign is done, and he won't have the balls to make the big calls at the wheel. It looks more like his resume is just the result of good luck and being surrounded by the right people.

But we need someone who can cut through the bullshyt and do what has to be done, even if its unpopular. Neither candidate is built for that, their ambition & narcissism prohibits them from making choices that will upset their "bases"

Where in dude's post did he say folks who voted Democratic weren't any of these things?

u overate the power of the president, in reality hes just a puppet

romney doesnt care about the economy, if hes president he'll raise taxes on the poor and give tax breaks to the rich and finish off the middle class

Black people generally vote democratic anyway, so thats a moot point.

Hispanics, women and independents are what put him over the top in 2008. But even if he loses the independents, the Hispanic vote more than makes up for it.

I'm voting for Romney. Have a great day.

No, it supports my point. Blacks vote democratic because they believe in the same issues as the Democratic party. I support the Republican party because I believe in the same issues.

stealthbomber doesn't want to see it like that. Anything anti-Obama is all wrong and that's how he sees everything.

I don't even think it's that to be honest with you, it's just over the past 30 years the Republican Party platform has been so aggressively anti-black. So the Democratic Party seems almost natural even though they have done next to nothing for us.

yeah all the time. i was talking to my hood ass uncle a few weeks ago about the lies and pitfalls of the obama administration but he didnt care. he's still gonna vote for him just cuz he's black. its not like he's a dumb guy, but he just doesn't care for politics too much. i consider him an average uniformed voter.

now if you would have said you vote conservative, thats reasonable. conservatives have an ideology and core values they believe in. but voting republican just because you like them is ignorant, especially the republican party in 2012.

they're trying to discredit everything obama does to make them seem not so crazy. they have no platform, excpet God, "america, fukk yeah", and "whatever obama said, we dont like that". its a fundamentally backward political party and the fact that people cape for them

in 20 years we'll look back and say this was the worst election a political party has run in modern history. but do ya thing play boy

Name some anti-black policies.

Do you really think the Democratic Party has done nothing for black people in the last 30 years. 100% positive?
