Did the "47 percent" remark kill R's chances?

[SS Junk]

Many of my FB friends who are liberal/democrat credit the remark to Obama's win. Any truth to this?

That, and agreeing with Obama on just about everything in the third debate.

Blame the blacks, Mexicans and youngsters. It's actually pretty easy.

Lots of people I work with said they voted for Obama this time because of that remark. They said it made them feel like he didn't connect with them. I asked how they felt about Obama saying they are going to hold onto their religion and their guns? They said that's ok cause I'm a "Christian" and I take that as a compliment. Stupid I tell ya. Oh and these were not white voters

[SS Junk]

The ones I am referring to fully believe R stated the entire 47% of Obama voters even though it was stated "OF THESE 47%..." I guess truth is a motherfucker...
It's the "Yeah, but can you kick MY ASS!" mentality.

It doesn't matter.

X3 and I bet 75% of them won't even vote next election cause there probably won't be a brotha running.

I fully agree. People are getting dumber by the minute and capitalizing on the idea of not having to take responsibility for their own actions.

Are you kidding?

The democrats are gonna milk the race angle until there's nothing left in the jug.

Hell, 50% chance even the failed Republican party doesn't put up a white male for election in 2016.

If you haven't noticed, white\straight\conservative males have become politically\socially irrelevant.

There are more folks in the cart than pulling it at this point.

If I had the resources, I would have pulled a Denny and been out of here by now.

But since that is not gonna happen, well I guess it is what it is...

The America that many of us grew up in has been gone for some time now, last night's election only proves the point.

Lots of things didn't help his election, being a Morman, his association with Bain capitol, his constantly changing views and opinions, his richness, that's just a few.

[jw33]

romneycare might have played a small factor too.

As disgusting as it is, it boiled down to this: the DNC got people in key areas of swing states to vote based on SOCIAL issues. That's all there is to it. They found enough people willing to ignore the economic cinder block chained to our leg and drown in a lake of despair while merrily chanting, "yay! Free birth control and Obamaphones!"

Fucking pathetic, this country.
