Subscribe to RSSPresident Barack Obama has his largest lead in the NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo oversample of Hispanic voters: 50 points.
Obama leads Republican challenger Mitt Romney among Latino registered voters, 70 percent to 20 percent, and with an equal margin among likely Latino voters, 71 percent to 21 percent. That is an increase of 15 points from August, and outpaces Obama’s 2008 split (67 percent to 31 percent) over John McCain.

President Barack Obama visits the Hoover Dam during in Boulder City, Nevada October 2, 2012. Obama is in Nevada to prepare for the presidential debate on Wednesday.
Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducted the poll with Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, calls the 70 percent figure a “significant” and “cautionary note” to Romney and the Republican Party, and suggests that losing the Latino vote by that margin would be difficult to overcome.

It appears that Romney's comments that “47 percent” of Americans are dependent on government took a toll on his standing with Hispanics. Romney’s favorability score has cratered with the group, with his negatives hitting an all-time high. Fifty-three percent now say they have a negative impression of Romney and just 23 percent say they have a positive one. That 30-point difference is 17 points worse than in August.
Slideshow: On the campaign trail
What’s more, 61 percent of Latinos say what they've heard about Romney in past couple of weeks has given them a less favorable impression of him. That's 20 points worse than when same question was asked in July.
An equal number (61 percent) say they would be uncomfortable with Romney as president. And almost four-in-10 (38 percent) say they would be “not at all” comfortable with Romney sitting in the White House.
By contrast, Obama enjoys a 74 percent to 17 percent favorability rating, an all-time high. He holds a similarly strong approval rating of 73 percent – also a record high. That’s up 11 points from August.
The Daily Rundown's Chuck Todd previews the first presidential debate and shares the results of the latest NBC News/ WSJ poll.
‘47 percent’
Specifically on the “47 percent” comments, a majority of Latinos (55 percent) said they resulted in a more negative impression of the GOP nominee.
During the surreptitiously recorded video of Romney at a fundraiser, he said 47 percent of the country, who didn’t pay income tax, were “victims” who would never vote for him. But he also said talked about his father being born in Mexico to American parents and joked about what a political advantage it would be if he were actually of Mexican descent.
“Had he been born of Mexican parents,” Romney said of his father, “I'd have a better shot of winning this, but he was unfortunately born of Americans living in Mexico. They'd lived there for a number of years. And – I mean I say that jokingly, but it'd be helpful to be Latino.”
Romney also acknowledged that he and the GOP are having difficulty winning over Latinos – a problem that could hobble the party.
“We're having a much harder time with Hispanic voters,” he said. “And if the Hispanic voting bloc becomes as committed to the Democrats as the African-American voting bloc has in the past, why we're – we're in trouble as a party and, I think, as a nation.”
The “47 percent” comments also were mentioned when Latino respondents were asked what hesitations they had about each candidate.
“His 47 percent of Americans speech,” said a self-declared 35-44 year-old Hispanic male from Texas.
“I disagree with his comment about 47% of Americans,” said another 18-24 Hispanic male from Arizona.
“That 47 percent are dependent on the government, even though we work,” said a 35-44 Hispanic male from California.
“I feel like he’s disconnected from the rest of us,” said a 25-34 year-old Hispanic woman from Texas. “He’s led a privileged life. Not everybody has had that.”
Recommended: First debate crucial for Romney
Others said they feared Romney would favor the wealthy and give tax cuts at the expense of other things, like education. “They wouldn’t be able to keep enough teachers hired,” said an 18-24-year-old male from California.
By contrast, when asked about Obama’s "you didn't build that" remarks -- which the Romney campaign has used against the president to paint him as anti-business – 56 percent said the comments gave them a more favorable impression of the incumbent president.
Preferring Obama on the issues
Latino voters also favor Obama by big margins on every issue – from immigration, health care, and Medicare to foreign policy, China, taxes, the economy, and the budget deficit.
On immigration, for example, Latinos say Obama would be better than Romney by a 66 to 14 margin, up from the 55 to 16 advantage Obama had in July.
Optimism on the rise
Another overarching factor fueling the president’s rise is, like in polling of other groups, that Latino optimism has increased. A majority now say the country is headed in the right direction (55 percent), up 12 points from a month ago.
A majority (50 percent), for the first time in the oversample, also say the economy will get better in the next year.
Enthusiasm ticks up, but still off from 2008 levels
With Hispanics favoring Obama by such wide margins, the key for his re-election team will be getting them to show up at the polls. Latino intensity was down through the summer months, but there was a significant uptick in this poll.
Last month, just 61 percent of Hispanics said they were either an “8,” “9,” or “10” (out of 10) when it came to how interested they were in this election. But now 77 percent are self-identifying as those numbers.
There was a 10-point jump (to 59 percent) among those saying they are 9s or 10s, the highest-interest group.
Still, those numbers lag behind other groups and behind where Hispanics were at this time in 2008. In September 2008, 88 percent said they were at least an 8. And 76 percent said they were at least a 9.

Well, that clinches it!
Which 50 shades of Willard has been decided...
Latino Willard will show up on stage tonight!
Hopefully, his make up crew will spray tan his hands the same creepy color orange as his face this time!
Willard looked like the Great Pumpkin at the Univision event!
Obama leads Romney by 50 points with Latinos!
As well he should. All those old white men are looking sillier and sillier by the second.
Wow!! African Americans 95% to 0, Latino 71% to 21%, and Native Americans 73% to 16%.
President Obama 2012!!
so racial division is working? Obama divide et impera!
I predict blue Mitt. Smurfs are about the only group he hasn't thoroughly demeaned. Of course the way Ann grabs and leads him around, I'll bet the his face isn't the only blue part of his body.
Yes. Romney and the Republican party are doing a fine job of it.
Hows the head Feisty? Did you sleep off that Mad Dog 20/20 bender you were on yesterday?
Hey Jack tell me that fairy tale again how Obama is a great uniter? No Obama is shrewed and he knows success is divide et impera.
The democrats/Obama fully support women, minorities, the gay community, seniors, the poor and the middle class. The republicans seem to be against all of those groups with their unrelenting actions going against each of them.
This election is not just about re-electing president Obama for a better future for the average American. We need to re-elect him and oust as many republicans from the local level as possible.
Tonight's first debate should be a shinning example of who is YOUR corner. President Obama will once again show that his actions are aimed at helping the average American live a better live. Willard will once again prove that he'll do everything in his power to give tax breaks for corporations and the ubber rich whits males. Everyone else in Willards eyes are not worthy of his attention or support.
I keep learning new words from you, CA.
You're too easy.
Read Nomoresameo's last paragraph in #1.9 above and you will find the answers to your questions.
Elliot--You're sick and shouldn't be allowed to post here.
so racial division is working?
Yes, Caesar, the republicans have turned their back on every race, color, creed except white males with a hefty bank account.
Unlike many people here, I do not proof read or spell check. If I make errors in grammar/spelling I apologise.
But I have hope that my core message has been recieved by those who take the time to read my comments/opinions.
For anyone interested in the relative unemployment rate performance between the 1st Reagan administration and the 1st Obama administration:
go to: http://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet
1st: Enter 1981 in the From field and 1984 in the To field .......notice the unemployment rate starts at about 7.5%, peaks at nearly 11%, and ONLY falls below 8% in 1984....also, notice the rate did not start to climb until AFTER Reagan took office. It was actually falling when he took office.
2nd: Enter 2009 in the From field and 2012 in the To field......notice the rate at the beginning of Obama's first term was nearly 8% and climbing rapidly. Also, the rate peaked only 9 months into President Obama's first year and declined steadily thereafter. The rate is now just above 8% and on a steep decline.
No serious student of economics would assert that the economy Reagan inherited was even nearly as bad as that which Obama was handed. Yet, as these graphs show, President Obama's performance has actually been better than that of Reagan.
Of course, we all know the outcome of the 1984 election.
People Died Obama Lied
Fact: 419,000 women have lost their jobs in the last four years, due to liberal policies.
Vote Romney-Ryan 2102 like your job depends on it (if you still have one) ...because it does!
Creo en America, por favor ayude a su país ya sus hijos
Hey, whoever you are, do you not lament the people el cerdo Bush asesinato. Por ejemplo ...El asesinato cometido durante the Iraqi war. Lo Creo!!!
Cuatro mas por cuarenta y cuatro
So the orange spray tan didn't work? Poor Mexican Mitt!!
Why do liberals look at the country as segregated by race, sex, religion and whatever other interest group they can divide the country by? It really is pathetic that they don't recognize themselves for the bigots and racists they are.
Gee, where are all the birthers?
You know, those who said that if Obama was born in Kenya (even though his mother was American) he couldn't be President?
Well, we KNOW Romney was born in Mexico.
Why aren't you worried about him?
Oh, I see - it's the same as the tax returns, right?
My head is fine, thank you for your concern!
Is there a point you're trying to make or still just obsessing over me?
Good to know, I cause you to lose sleep!
Laying awake at night, planning on how you will "get me" the next day, is an unhealthy way to go through life, junior!
You might try envisioning Andrew Briebart dancing in your head to cure your insomnia! ;o)
Ah, elliot - sour grapes much?
You know good and well if there were ANY minority in America that would vote for Romney, you'd be talking about them every single day.
But it doesn't help much to talk about the old white guy coalition, does it?
Hey Jackie notice how they are all seperate but equal huh? I believe its liberals that lump people into grievance groups and then attempt to sell their championing these said groups. In the end, very little if anything changes for these groups. The war on poverty hasn't improved but you guys still 'fight the good fight'. Jack you're a joke. Hey remember the middle class has been buried the last 4 years. Obama for the middle class, too bad he sees it as a mass grave.
Hey Elliot, they dont like you because they believe the market for compassion is theirs. Just see Feisty's quotes and watch jackie get squirmy. HOW FUNNY
Here's a fact for you, Elliot:
Obama is trying to unite the country.
Romney is trying to divide the country.
I find it so funny that the Reps are upset when the people they have Sh t on all these years, wont vote for them. I want to know why anyone that isn't rich would ever vote for a Rep.
People Died. You are trying so hard to make people think the jobs lost had anything to do with President Obama. Everyone knows this was caused by Little Bush. Talk about people died Bush lied. Not that is the truth. It was Little Bush that lied us into the Iraq war that was to be paid for by Iraq's oil. We seen how that worked out didn't we. One think I have learned is the Reps are always yelling at the Dem's when everyone knows it was the Rep's that did exactly what they say the Dem's were doing. Its called Spin, shift the blame from yourselves to Dem's. People of all races know that too.
Caesar - wait, are you for gay marriage now?
Since you don't want gays to have to be "separate but equal"?
Please call your Congressman - we'll vote today!
show me where I ever talked about for it or against it?
I find it astounding that republicans call President Obama devisive when he leads in almost every demographic category over Mitt Romney except for Old White Men. It sure sounds to me like President Obama and his policies appeal to a broad swath of Americans.
Romney is the divisive candidate who spilts America into "us vs. them", the "53% makers" who look down on the lazy "47% takers".
Romney writes off almost half of Americans as not being worthy of his concern because he will NEVER get them to be responsible citizens. Romney says almost half of Americans consider themselves "victims", are dependent on the government, and feel entitled to "free everything" - and Republicans say President Obama is divisive?
"That dog won't hunt".
Elliot, Caesar and many others are here posting nonsense as they seek to distract people from facts. Elliot wrote:Why do liberals look at the country as segregated by race, sex, religion and whatever other interest group they can divide the country by?
The simple fact is, there are many groups of people that make up this country we call the USA and most of us love and support all of those living here. The glaring exception are republicans as a whole. The president has done more for women, gays, minorities, seniors and the middle class than any president in recent history. At the same time, republican legislators and their supporters have chastised him for doing so and done everything in their power to prevent such actions.
Yesterday he was touting beasiality. Apparently he has a thing for Unicorn horns. I'm all for same sex marriage, but I'll admit, marriage to animals bends the line too far for me.
Real american first. Mittens Dad was born In Mexico. I am pretty sure Mitten was born in Michigan, I am ashamed to say as I was born in Michigan and Live here all my life expect the Last time the Reps put us in the same mess and the bottom fell out. I had to move to Dallas for 4 years but came back to Mich as soon as I could. The South is still fighting the civil war. If you don't believe, move to the south for a while. It is funny that people come from the south all the time to take jobs in the Auto industry, but when we moved south when there were no jobs in Mich, they said last one out of Michigan turn out the light. Well i am happy to say that GM is bringing most of there jobs back to Michigan. When they close down that big plant in TX and all those come back to Michigan where they belong, well you know the rest. Wasn't it funny that all those Southern Senators wanted to let GM go out of business. Michigan will take those jobs back. Hell we built butter cars and trucks up here anyways. We can build them cheaper too. We have plenty of water here too. And it is cheaper to heat a factory then to Cool one. Everything thing about it is better in Mich.
I find it interesting that Republicans on this site cry foul over this poll even though a Republican pollster helped with it. In other words, anything that shows where Romney really stands with voters will be met with doubts by the radical right.
Wow! You're really gonna be upset 11/7/2012!
Obama/Biden 2012
Yep, Obama's deported more Latinos in 4 years than Bush did in 8, but just because he lies to them, they'll believe it! Not to mention Fast & Furious!
It doesn't matter anyway. At the rate Obama has the US going on
DEBT
UNEMPLOYMENT
FOOD STAMPS
WELFARE
ECONOMY
JOB CREATION
we'll be Mexico North in no time!
CHUCK TODD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whats the number your calling the LAtinos as LIKELY VOTERS..
Lets bend your mind. Romney voters are 80% in their "VERY LIKELY VOTERS".. so the 20% who favor Romney in the Latio community are likely to OUTNUMBER the Obama Latino voters, in actual votes cast.
Romney gets his 20% to vote, and Obama gets 20% of his 70% to vote.. WASH.
Now reporting like that might, dissolve the spoiled rich kid who went to private school in South Beach image.. CHUCK.. anything to say there CHUCK?
joshua
yes except for the key part I said progressives are for it RedDev. Oh well inconvenient for you. as for Nomore, Jackie and RAF, you guys continually prove you only see americans for the alleged groups they fall into. I am not the one that says the LATINO population or the GAY population or the BLACK. Nah for you progressives, its they have the market on caring and tolerance (pretty big lie there) and Conseratives are uncaring sub human.
Like I said or biden admitted, Obama is creating a mass grave for the middle class. WTG Libs!
Boss Hogg 2012
I have been noticing lately that about once a week I will forget that 0bama is black. I'll be absorbed in news articles and data trying to figure out what's going on in the country, then all of the sudden some liberal writer, anchor or blogger chimes in about 0bama's skin color. It's that moment that I realize I have forgotten to look at the man for his skin color but rather by what he says and does.
So tell me again how I'm the racist.
more liberal circular reasoning. They know because they know. HAHAHA
because these pompous progressive believe they have the power of truth by merely opening their mouths. Its more liberal hubris. Ellito, its baseless but it some how 'empowers' them to lie in support of their argument or lack there of.
Wow, Feisty, the haters are out in force today-I didn't realize there was a middle school holiday. As the election gets closer the strident voices of elliot, caesar and the other followers gets louder-or at least the type face gets larger. I can't wait for Nov when they will scuttle back into their holes.
What bothers me here, and I would suppose also rankles that latino community is that they are treated as a monolithic block. No matter how you parse it, "latino" or "hispanic", they are made up of numerous ethnic groups with unique histories. A Cuban will not see things the same as a Puerto Rican, or a Mexican, or a Guatamalean. Matter of fact, most of them don't like each other. Ask a Cuban what they think of Mexicans. The answer will be similiar to what a Mexican thinks of Guatamaleans. Neither is good, and odds are they will spit before they start their tirade.
At least they are united on one thing, their distrust for Mittenman.
thats it B white, deflect, avert, bend, diverge whatever it takes for you to feel better about yourself. Looking for Feisty for approval is laughable. Do you look to Charlie Manson for advice too?
OK elliot, what about the other six days of the week? PS you really ought to take a break from reading all those liberal blogs and watching all those liberal tv shows... try watching Fox and go back to yelling at those kids to get off your lawn, you'll feel better.
OK, Moron: Can you show me where the "right to vote" is in the Constitution??
Answer: There is no "right to vote" in the Constitution:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Right To Vote
The Constitution contains many phrases, clauses, and amendments detailing ways people cannot be denied the right to vote. You cannot deny the right to vote because of race or gender. Citizens of Washington DC can vote for President; 18-year-olds can vote; you can vote even if you fail to pay a poll tax. The Constitution also requires that anyone who can vote for the "most numerous branch" of their state legislature can vote for House members and Senate members.
Note that in all of this, though, the Constitution never explicitly ensures the right to vote, as it does the right to speech, for example. It does require that Representatives be chosen and Senators be elected by "the People," and who comprises "the People" has been expanded by the aforementioned amendments several times. Aside from these requirements, though, the qualifications for voters are left to the states. And as long as the qualifications do not conflict with anything in the Constitution, that right can be withheld. For example, in Texas, persons declared mentally incompetent and felons currently in prison or on probation are denied the right to vote. It is interesting to note that though the 26th Amendment requires that 18-year-olds must be able to vote, states can allow persons younger than 18 to vote, if they chose to.
http://www.usconstitution.net/constnot.html#vote
Open the borders, allowed more illegal to come, stop any legislation that protect their States from illegal immigration, provide food stamps in Mexico to Mexicans, betrayed your fellow citizens, , give amnesty to a 30 year old illegal immigrant who came to the US forced by their parent at 25 years old, , KABOOM , ALA KAZAN Obama got 50 % adventage with LATINOS
Me either B.White!
When we flick the lights on, on 11.6.12 and re-elect President Obama, they will scurry like the cockroaches they are!
The "smart" ones already know they're screwed! ;o)
26th amendment section one does indeed guarantee the right to vote. Perhaps not in the bill of rights or 1st 10 amendments.
Far be it for me to add any logic to these articles, but if 50%+ of latinos and 50%+ of blacks, etc. etc. are saying that they are going to vote for Obama over Romney, the swing state polls are reportedly saying that Obama is going to win, etc. then why is it that the more general polls (likely voters, etc.) continue to show the candidates essentially even (within the margin of error)? Just wondering.
Esta bueno, muy bueno!
Ooopsies, I think the GOP made a big boo-boo. Kinda forgot about the largest and fastest growing segment of the minority community din'cha boys and girls? Well, your chickens are coming home to roost compadre.
I remember those glory days of just a few years back when the GOP decided that "Illegal Immigrants" was the wedge issue from heaven. What could be better? They don't vote, they have no voice and they have no political support. We'll label them free-loaders and raise a hew and cry that will cross party boundaries. It's a win-win situation. Never mind that we are demonizing a large minority group with made up figures and issues, what could go wrong? What can they do about it?
Well Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do.
Obama/Biden 2012
I must have confused you B. I'll let you get back to watching Matlock.
Why would you? It's not a hot button issue for Latinos so much as it is for fat, balding old White gun owners.
"Obama leads Romney by 50 points with Latinos"
Of course he does, he also has the endorsements of Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chavez, and Felipe Calderon... everyone who dislikes America loves Obama.
OF COURSE OBAMA LEADS WITH LATINOS. He gives them things and gives them amnesty, and lets the illegals vote and encourages them to go on the dole, and get all those free food stamps, especially appreciated in Mexico, what's not to like? Then, those who vote for him probably don't care about the hundreds slaughtered in Mexico as a result of his Fast and Furious program, Univision's expose probably won't overcome personal greed. Gotta love Obama, he sure knows how to buy his voters. More people getting goodies from Uncle Sugar are guaranteed to keep those goodies coming.
Wonder what they will do when he turns on them? And he will.....
Off topic but the jobs numbers for September are better than expected. And, last night it was announced that the DOJ purchased an empty prison in Illinois to house prisoners. The prison already exists and sits empty. Activating it will add 1000 jobs. Also, Ford has a new car that is being purchsed by law enforcement across the country and will be made in Illinois - another 1000 jobs.
Not a bad start. Obviously more jobs are needed but each month looks better!
mygirl - idiot. Reagan gave the first amnesty to illegals when he was in office and it was a much more sweeping amnesty program. Bush did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the illegals - probably because he had many working on his ranch. But NOW you're upset!
Obama/Biden 2012
People Died
Care to illuminate us on those Obama policies that you claim cost so many women their jobs.
I bet you can't.
Recessions almost always are accompanied by a recovery that initially has increased unemployment.
Obama's stimulus stopped the recession in its tracks. But the -8.5% growth rate of the 4th quarter surprised everyone including businesses. So after Christmas 2008, as businesses counted their losses and licked their wounds, their accountants told them you have to lay off people. If you've been in any stores lately, many of the employees there are women.
Obama's stimulus package included $200 billion aid to states. States used this to keep their employees working. When this stimulus was not extended, 600,000 government employees lost their jobs. Many of these employees were school teachers where a majority are women.
If anything, Republicans blocking a 2nd round of stimulus in the aftermath of the worst Recession since the Great Depression are primarily responsible, policy-wise, for most of the job losses among women.
Obama.... fighting for the middle class and women.
26th amendment section one does indeed guarantee the right to vote.
________________________________________
Sorry, CA, you are wrong. The plain text of the amendment clearly ONLY guarantees people 18 or older will not be DENIED the right to vote "on account of age". That does not guarantee a "right to vote" like the right to free speech which is clearly spelled out in the text of the Constitution.
26th amendment section one: "The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age."
mygirl. and what the business and corporate world give Latinos? Jobs knowing that they are here illegally, but saving then higher wages and giving themselves a bigger profit. ( Greed!) A local foundry has 5 men working with the same name and social security numbers. Do you think they care? Do you think they report it? Stop giving them work if you don't want them here? I pray for an Obama win!

=====================================================
elliot,
Did a Liberal post a five year old video calling it racist? What a liberal do you know brown their skin to appear before a Latino audience?
Boat tie wearing F***ker Carlson is an idiot. I thought the bigot Sean Hannnichio was an idiot. F***ker Carlson just surpassed him.
Even that stupid a**video from the Sludge Report shows how delusion you people are. Tell me, pray tell, how does the GOP White Noise Machine (FOX NEWS ) think this video could dramatically impact the election because it would showcase our President as an angry man beset by racial grievances?
You people can't have it both ways first you complain about how high Black unemployment is. Then when our President addresses issues in the Black community it's racist. Get a grip you stupid people. Yes, I'm an angry Black woman wondering how much lower can you people go? You need to be focusing on issues to move this country forward rather than mire yourselves in such slime.
Face it elliot.
"MYTH" is a flip-flopper lightweight, cardboard, opportunist who’ll say and do anything to get elected. Ditto, LYIN Ryan!!!!

redvirginia,
If you look at all the facts it has been Obama, more than any president before that has sent more illegals back to where they came from. The numbers are staggering. It is the greedy businessmen and rich who pay them to work here at wages below what Americans would make. I said it before! We have a foundry here that has 5 men working with the same name and social security number. Do you think they will stop them. No! Greed and profits lead them. I know the man who owns the foundry and guess what? He is a republican and lives like the 1% do!
Sure are a lot of moroons posting here. To answer a point made by at least one - Every single thing Obama does is geared to one end. Re-election. Every lie, every moment of pandering to every possible special interest/minority, every illegal "Executive Order" is designed to get himself re-elected. Then he can do whatever he wants without having to worry about it again. Imagine the things he'll scramble to foist upon us during the three months he will have after losing the election. He has no shame. And neither do most of the libs posting on these sites.
I am not inclinded to go to the local pet shop and bring home a skunk because they were out of puppies. Unfortunately for America, it appears liberals don't know the difference!
If we had just one other Democratic candidate for president, Obama would lose by a landslide based an objective review of his record alone!
PCwaht?
A few years back I was a conservative who voted for Nixon, Goldwater and Reagan. But after the take over or partial takeover of this country by warmongers and greedy corporate types trying to buy elections for profit I have not voted and will not vote for a conservative again in my life. At my age that may not be long, but never would I vote for the greed that Romney has promised the top 1% and the cuts he has indicated for the middle and lower class. I also hate the wars that GW took us into and that we are now getting out of! However,, people like Romney have their eyes on taking us into Syria and Iran. Not. I pray daily for their defeat!
Guess you are talking about Biden.
I may also add that you just made a racist remark.
And please, I wish the Latino's would understand that Obama cares nothing for the Latino's. Zero. Nada. He just wants their votes.
I'm Hispanic and my family completely understands that Obama is all talk.
Look how quickly he threw his very good friend, Rev. Wright, under the bus. Now we are learning that Wright was paid good money to keep quiet about the true Obama. People just don't want to know the truth.
LMAO! You are a riot Elliot! Give it a rest.
Quick! MSNBC! Divide us further by race!!!
The bottom line is this, the repug/teabag Right wing fanatical zealots, are a bunch of poor, poor losers!!! Hatred is all I read coming from the right. It's actually pretty sad.........
JiA, I stand corrected however the language does infer you have a right, if they can't deny it. You are right there is nothing in the constitution that is implicit with the verbage with the RIGHT to vote. like the Right to free speech or Right to bear arms.
elliot,
I so ♥ed it last night when Juan Williams gave Sean Hannity – the guy who pals around with a slavery apologist, and other bigots a zinger.
Juan Williams said--“You guys are playing a race card now against Obama. You tried the ‘redistribution’ video, it fell flat.”
Fox News Analyst Jesse Lee Peterson Thanks Whites on Slavery

I hope the next zinger will be our President zapping MYTH tonight if he comes right out and asks MYTH how does having tax shelters in off shore accounts contribute to the America economy? Maybe Jim Lehner will. Then our President can zap MYTH by asking MYTH did he miss the deadline for the IRS amnesty program for tax evaders

Jo Ann,
Awww, poor old white men. They only got to rule for 50,000 years.
Your source, please.
It always is the same thing, Obama is supposed to be the protector and advocate for the poor, middle class and minorities while at the same time his economic policies have destroyed these groups. Unless you count welfare or government assistance, explain to me why the unemployment, poverty and income statistics of these groups have fallen behind dramatically over the last 4 years and then tell me why they should vote for him?
Let's See - Obama has the Majority of the "American" Vote and Gov. Romney has the Majority of the "White, Anti Gay, Anti Abortion" vote - lets see who'll win!!!!
Thats like coming to the incredible grasp of the obvious conclusion that Obama leads by 50 points with all Trial Lawyers or by 50 points with government union employees or by 50 points with the young well to do single women who want free contraceptives paid for by others. Of course he is leading in the demographic groups that he has provided considerable government benefits at the expense of others. Is that really that surprising? Sometimes maybe we should look deeper and decide not whats better for a certain demographic group or us individually and whats best for the country as a whole. Its hard to see that the elimination of self reliance, personal responsibility and accountability for one's choices in life in the name of trying to create government mandated equality of outcomes is best for all of us. But if so we deserve Obama
Apparently goes straight to the matter of how many blacks and Hispanics are part of the 47%.
Why?
@ Jack in Portsmouth,
Before you read the article remember that Wright has remained silent after privately speaking with Obama. He was paid because "action speaks louder than words".

Ahh, the NY Post. Owned by Rupert Murdoch. Now, there's an unbiased newspaper we can believe in.
Awww, poor old white men. They only got to rule for 50,000 years.
You know little if any about humans history.
White old man for Obama... Unfortunately I live in the northeast so my vote won't mean much. Near the NH boarder though... but that would be wrong. Also pay taxes on my meager pension so that makes me part of the 53% though my heart is with the entitlement group. It's so lonely here but at least I don't have to jump through hoops to vote.
Elliot-302 go fight your own war with iran and leave Prez O alone for having the courage to distance himself from that "thing" from israel whom you people call "Bibi". Oh and Elliot, stop the race card thing, Prez O is WayySmarter than you.
Here is an Important link for all of you undecided people; Enjoy!!

I would think that since Obama's birth father was a foreigner, that he would have some similar experiences in his youth and adult life to those experienced by nonwhite immigrants.
Common experiences frequently yield empathy for the trials and tribulations that other similar groups of people experience.
I find it odd that you express such negative insight into Obama "as he doesn't care about the Latino, just their votes". I have not seen anything in this man that corroborates what you claim.
Policy wise, immigration reform has been effectively blocked by the same forces that caused John McCain and Lindsey Graham to change their tune on immigration reform.
As to Rev. Wright, Obama spent most of the six years prior to 2008 in Washington, D.C., and probably only heard his sermons when he was in Chicago on a Sunday. I have gone to church for many years and "seldom is heard a disparaging word" about anything the preacher says.
Rev. Wright put himself under the bus when he used a parishioner's fame to put himself and his agenda in the spotlight.
wje - don't be so self-loathing - have some pride
caesar augustas- #1.43 states that the 26th amendment guarantees the right to vote.
Good try but no cigar, you should learn how to read and understand what you read, it states exactly the following:
Section 1. The right of the CITIZENS of the United States, who are 18 years of age or older, to vote, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of age.
Section 2. The congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
No if you take the language which indicates that any 'CITIZEN' (not foreigners) who are 18 years of age or older has the absolute right to vote then how is it that a pole worker can determine whether the person who shows up to vote is actually 18 years old and not 17 without any proof, or that the person who show up to vote 'IS' a 'CITIZEN' and not a foreigner.
Good try caesar but I might assume you can not read and understand the English language all that well or you are willing to read into something that is not there just to prove your incorrect positions on the issue.
Feisty,
Yep, it's all over. We'll talk again in 34 days. You be here now, unlike the morning after the Wisconsin recall election.
shaak... you state that president obama has empathy for illegal immigrants that may be but he does not have the Constitutional right change the laws because of empathy.
You further state that president obama only went to the sermons by Rev. Wright on Sundays so he did not know about the hateful sermons. Good luck on that one, you are incorrect; last night on Hannity they showed a video of a speech by then senator obama where he acknowledged that he and the Rev. Wright were more than just a little friendly. The things he said showed the real intentions of the man.
I know, I know you and people like you will respond with the stupid Faux news etc. but you just don't like hearing and seeing the truth. As a registered democrat since 1972 I have long ago learned how to think for myself.
hey, speaking of reading did you follow farther down where I said I stood corrected? trust me pal, I am not trying prove Albany Joe wrong considering I usually agree with him.
To err is human to forgive is divine.
"If we had just one other Democratic candidate for president, Obama would lose by a landslide based an objective review of his record alone!"
Well ClearVoice -- that's like saying if I won PowerBall last year, I'd probably have 5 homes today. But I didn't win so I only home one home. We could turn your statement around. Had the Republicans nominated somebody other than Romney, that candidate could be winning by a landslide. But none of that happened so we have Romney and Obama. And it looks like Obama is going to win.
I'll be watching the debates with high hopes that our President does well. Mittens and the GOP scare me to death. Did anyone read today that Mittens wants to cap ALL tax deductions at $17,000? That really hurts families and anyone with a job but no inherited wealth, like Mittens.
Top tax rate for working people today is 35%; remember on Mittens's inherited wealth he pays 15% tax on his $20 MILLION in income. At least our President pays 35% tax on his money.
HS321
You know little if anything about grammar. It's "human history" or the "history of humans".
That aside, homo sapiens have roamed the Earth from somewhere between 250K and 400K years ago. Maybe it's an exaggeration to say that "old white men" have ruled for 50K years, but it's not an exaggeration to say that "old men" have ruled for far more than 50K years.
True News of the day.. ..... ... More brave Americans die under the inept obama( Ambassador Stevens& crew, another dead soldier from Afghanistan)
Gov. Brewer said..
"What happens next has become all-too-familiar in Arizona: Flags will be lowered in honor of the slain agent. Elected officials will vow to find those responsible. Arizonans, and Americans will grieve – and they should.
"But this ought not only be a day of tears," Brewer added. "There should be anger, too. Righteous anger – at the kind of evil that causes sorrow this deep, and at the federal failure and political stalemate that has left our border unsecured and our Border Patrol in harm's way.
"Four fallen agents in less than two years is the result."
Brewer then attacked the Obama White House for an observation it made in 2011 about security at the border.
"It has been 558 days since the Obama administration declared the security of the U.S.-Mexico border 'better now than it has ever been.' I'll remember that statement today."
i dont think that is correct. LOL Homo erectus maybe.
Hey, it wasn't our party that divided the nation in two groups: the mooching 47% and the taxpaying 53%. Your party lost all privileges of lecturing us on divisiveness and you know it.
And if you would please write in normal-sized font, no boldface, it would be greatly appreciated. It makes your comments look as if you were yelling, or as if you were trying to compensate for your lack of critical thinking with visual aggressiveness.
OBAMA could pass for Latino. Romney couldn't.
How did Hispanics get their own race category. Spain is in Europe.
Will Mexico elect the next President of the United States?
Caesar Augustus-
Pretty funny. Every time a specific group of people get identified as even LEANING towards Obama, Romney, Ryan, and their minion on-line posters seal the deal by further insulting that group. Just read the posts above... "Of course they vote for Obama... they're all stupid" or "on the dole" or "lazy".
This is fun to watch... they've lost blacks, Latinos, women, non-Christians, gays, our youth, the 99%, the 47%, Ryan's 30%... the only group they haven't lost are the scared old white men, yet they insult THEIR intelligence daily.
Using Ryan's math, they've lost 120% of the U.S. population!
Were there homosexuals amongst the homo erectus?
Anyways, what is the conservative bitch? It was polls that brought this info to light. The perspective of these many groups just don't like Willard Romney, that is all. 80% of voters and 81% of likely voters in these groups said they don't like Willard Romney.
For those who think illegal immigrants are likely to show up to vote on 11/01/2012, they won't because as much as they want to stay in this country, they don't want to in prison for committing voter fraud.
To those who think President Obama's PO was illegal on amnesty, why hasn't congress done a thing to reverse it and call for not only impeachment but conviction in the senate?
It is quite humorous watching the far right flapping around like a flag held on by one grommet.
The first three words of your sentence are correct. The last three are not. Homo sapiens preceded homo erectus. The latter appeared in Africa about 200K years ago.
Do some research before you begin "thinking" you know the answer.
uh, humans are homo sapiens, Homo erectus isnt. Homo Sapien is the only surviving ape, we are Homo sapiens or wise man. Homo Sapien succeeded Homo erectus and subsequently Homo Neanderthalensis
Not at all Marc, if you cared to understand that its Liberals that throw them in the 'seperate but equal' pile. Its your side that has them in individual 'protected' grievance classes. Give me a break. I see American and you see Latino.
Kirk: You show your intelligence equals Romney's. You insult the 52,000,000 Hispanics in the U.S. by indicating they live at the expense of those who work harder when Hispanics are smart enough to know they work harder than most privileged smart asses like yourself. If Hispanics do use some benefits like food stamps at a higher rate than whites it's because so many are poorly paid by greedy corporate clowns like Robme. You praise people like Romney for their business sense that pays near slave wages then gripe they need food stamps to live. Republicans are running out of groups to piss off at least. It's kind of like when states have tried to force Wal Mart to provide insurance for it's employees because they get tired of paying for people working 60 hours a week being eligible for medicaid. Republicans fight such restrictions tooth and nail.
Caesar, Where do you make this stuff up? Very creative, but "throw them in the separate, but equal pile?" By the way it is separate not seperate!
I'm so glad that Lib-turds can't determine reality from fantasy . . . Communist Obama has his a$$ royally spanked in the debate last evening!!! I'm Hispanic and no one I know will vote for Obama!!! Looks likes "Feistly NOT Redhead" is believing those Wisconsin pollsters again . . . Gotta love 'em!!! LOL!!!
JT,
should have stayed awake during your your Civics class and Government History classes. I have taught them for 34 years and if you think that"Communist Obama" is an a-- then you have no idea what or how it works or the meaning of "Communist." So sad of your ignorance. Grade for the day "F!"
This ignorance often happens from too much FOX exposure!
Don't bother Caesar...like I said, he doesn't know much about human history.
If he did, he would know that "whites" are Africans that moved north and lost their pigment so sunlight could penetrate the skin and produce vitamin D. Ultimately we are all Africans, but some people just have to hate.
(Jack, I did want to thank you for being the Newsvine Grammar Police.)
This is laughable. The lies that are spread by the Dems are certainly working. Unfortunately, the very community that is backing the Dems are holding them back. I cannot hire anyone right now with the uncertanty but once that vail is lifted, I am ready.
Anyone notice that the unemployment is over 8%, that is the politically adjusted percentage, so what is this president doing for the Latinos?? Anyone??
You need a prosperious country in order to thrive and 8% does not cut it. Oh, anyone see the deficit, anyone??? That hits ALL of us!
So long as the media keeps LYING to the people, we will have racial division and a stale country and economy.
I want White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, native American and everyone else to thrive, do you, or are you just looking for handouts? I work very hard and one thing I know is that the Latino community puts other people to shame with work ethics but they are being lied to and there trusting attitude is being exploited by the Dems.
Reps do want the Latino community to thrive as well and NO one can say TRUTHFULLY otherwise.
We are all in this TOGETHER. One Nation Under God INDIVISIBLE with liberty and justice for ALL! Remember that.
I am a "white-hispanic"-as obama labeled us, that will not vote for him again!! I do not see many in my neighborhood who will.....too many lost homes, lost jobs, high food prices, super high gas prices, Agents being killed in our backyard, Drugs flowing across the border and killing our kids--No respect around the world for the great USA!!! 4 more years of this,,NO WAY!!!!
borderjoe,
Do live in Nevada pr California?
That's GREAT News!
Absolutely, it further highlights who is hoping to keep Obama in office. Latino's in poll after poll have made it clear that the enforcing of U.S. border laws is their number one problem with America and number one concern for the election.
Obama also has the endorsements of Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chavez, and Felipe Calderon... basically everyone who dislikes America.
Ya think? Gosh and the way Mitt talks you'd think Mexico was his home state...
Holy Crap! 70% to 20%? Makes you kinda wonder who the 20% are and what they were thinking.
Hey charlie... perhaps you and the rest of the dummies should learn how to differentiate between American citizens of hispanic descent and illegal aliens.
RACISM at it's best here Barry.............
Hispanics/Latinos/Mexicans/etc. don't have a color to call their own.
On WW2 US Discharge Forms there were only 3 choices of race. White, Negro, and Other.
If this election were being held during WW2, the title of this story would read:
Negro leads White by 50 points with Others!
The problems for the Republicans are that they are a deeply flawed party.Other the years they have sold themselves,on the one hand to corporate interests,and on the other hand made their base from all the right-wing and ultra-religious zealots in the country. While the Democrats have tried to unite their party without racial division.The Republicans have united their party around hate and have done everything they could to divide us among racial lines.They refuse to accept that this nation is a rainbow of peoples united by our common belief in America.But instead they want to go back to the bad old days of racial division.You can easily see the differences in the comments on these pages. The hate filled racial quotes from the Romney supporters show exactly the problems the Republicans face in appealing to all Americans outside their narrow base.
Romney wins the debate while obama's failure kills more Americans!!!
Gov. Brewer said.."What happens next has become all-too-familiar in Arizona: Flags will be lowered in honor of the slain agent. Elected officials will vow to find those responsible. Arizonans, and Americans will grieve – and they should.

…..…your comment sounds like the dribble of someone trying to conceal the truth. Bad form from you, Indeed!! Your attempt to employee the Chicago- MOBpolitical posturing of lie, cheat and twist the truth, will not keep the facts from placing the blood at the feet of those responsible, Obama & Holder!!
If you want to know what Latinos think of obama..go to youtube and Univision and watch the stories on Fast& furious!!
I am one latino you most definitely will see voting for Obama and his minions. I live right on the Arizona/Mexico border in SE Arizona. About six blocks to be precise. Obama does not give a rat's behind about Latinos except for the votes he buys from them. I have yet to see the President or the Vice President set foot in 4 years in office in my neck of the woods in Southern Cochise County. Ground zero for illegal immigration. Probably afraid they would get their shoes dirty if they set foot down here. Janet "do nothing" Napolitano does not count as she was formerly the governor of Arizona and has since sold her soul to Obama and Holder! She was worthless as Governor and is even worse as Head of DHS.
My faith in humanity is restored.
Hey, Ames -
A friend sent me this interesting link today to a great map of the changing demographics in this country, courtesy of the 2010 census results. If you hover your cursor just right, you can find your own county - or any other one that you're interested in - and see how things have changed just since 2010:
http://projects.nytimes.com/census/2010/map?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=thab1
In my own suburban Philadelphia county, for example, while the white population has declined by 9%, all other groups have increased - Blacks by 37%, Hispanics by 98%, Asians by 45%, Native Americans by 27%, and Multi-racials by 57%. Perhaps even more telling, the upstate counties where my relatives live and where I went to college - the Pennsylvanians that then-candidate Obama so aptly alluded to in 2008 as being "bitter and clinging to their guns and religion" - while still overwhelmingly white, have seen similar increases in all other ethnic groups.
As I replied to my friend, this tends to prove my point from four years ago when I said (on the front page of the newspaper, as it turned out - yikes!) that then-candidate Obama had hit the nail squarely on the head in analyzing my fellow Pennsylvanians that perceptively. And it's precisely WHY the party that represents the "stale, male and pale" types has such a death grip on those bibles and guns - they see a rapidly evolving world that they somehow see as a threat to their own lives, they feel powerless to stop it, and they thus cling even tighter to the things they feel they CAN still control. It's not a character flaw, and Senator Obama never said that it was; it just is what it is. It's also why I'm firmly convinced that however this election turns out, the Republican Party of our fathers and grandfathers is disappearing fast, because they either a) just don't see the demographics changing; b) they choose to ignore them; or c) they're somehow deluded enough to think they can still reverse them.
Look, there are a million things changing in this world that I'm not crazy about either. The technology parade, for example, has long since passed me by - but if anyone were to accuse me of "clinging" to my printed books and magazines and stubbornly refusing to waste money on cable tv or smart phones or preferring those paper maps you can never re-fold right to a GPS in my car - well, they'd be absolutely right. I was a Luddite before I'd even heard of Luddites, and I like it that way.
But I can't help but feel that the changes we're seeing in racial demographics are anything but positive. I live for the day when the census doesn't even see the need to ask this question anymore. In the meantime, though, it's pretty cool to see how we're getting there.
Maybe some day we'll all just be "humanity".
JoAnne,
That was truly a wonderful post. Enjoyed every sentence in it.
yeah joann...in the meantime, the low-life scumbag obama is using racial and ethnic differences to divide our nation.....
Great post, JoAnne.
My wife has several relatives in Shrewsbury, PA so I know the area well.
We shouldn't feel threatened by changing demographics or let politicians scare us into voting for them.
Thats ok, Amy like Michelle was proud to be an American for their first time in 08
mcpaddywhack: "yeah joann...in the meantime, the low-life scumbag obama is using racial and ethnic differences to divide our nation....."
And what are YOU doing to bring us together? Just listen to yourself, will you?
Or try this - Obama's a lowlife scumbag. Romney's a lowlife scumbag. Mcpaddywhack is a lowlife scumbag. JoAnne in PA is a lowlife scumbag. Everybody else in America who isn't me is a lowlife scumbag.
There. Feel better now?
Divide and conquer is a time-tested and successful tactic that works every time. Now, interesting how you discuss racial equality on an article that emphasises racial division.
JoAnn,
I live in a small town in rural central PA. You are right when you say people here are mostly white (est 99%) and love their guns (est 75%).
People here are surprised if you don't hunt. Fathers take their kids out hunting as soon as they are 12 years old. It is a family tradition. One that they are very proud of. The NRA has used their love of hunting to frighten these basically nonpolitical folks into thinking the Democrats will take their guns away.
It is something that did occur for hand guns in the aftermath of the Reagan assassination attempt. James Brady, a shooting survivor of that incident, with his wife campaigned to regulate hand guns. Now, over 25 years later, we still have hunters voting Republican on this issue.
Religion here tends to be very personal. We are not an evangelical crowd for the most part.
Demographics. Diversity. Diversity often ends in division, at least according to history. Which has a strange way of repeating itself.

Humanity indeed!
Hey JoAnne:
Thanks for your post. I finally realize why the GOP is insistent on making abortion illegal again - STALE, PALE, MALE (and white, you should have added). Clearly the GOP is afraid the white race (specifically the males) is becoming extinct. In their world, it's still the 1940's and white men make all the decisions, as women (and people of color) are viewed as completely incapable of having important thoughts.
I used to believe the problem was that the GOP had been taken hostage by the religious right, but now I'm thinking that is another facet rather than the whole story.
The world will be much safer when Latin Americans have nuclear weapons.
And just how IS he using racial and ethnic differences to divide our nation? I see just the opposite. You people never seizes to amaze me.
It isn't twisting what Robme stands for that makes minorities vote against him it's knowing what he stands for. No matter how much lipstick you put on that pig he's still a pig.
Well, the illegals rush to Obama, they rush to sanctuary cities and other places where they can get the social services goodies. It isn't difficult to figure out. If I set up a bird feeder, lots of birds flock to it.
Correct. Its all about the handouts at the real taxpayers expense.
News flash! Obama cancels all future debates because of his busy scedule.
NOT --- Because he is getting his but kicked in the debate. Mmmmm
Even on healh care issue which is pretty much ALL Obama has focused on the past 4 years.
I really wish Romney would refer to the PPACA as Pelosi/ReidCare. They are the ones that are responsible for it. All Obama did was marketing and tell the Republicans, NO, you can't participate.
The only 'color' that Mesitzos from Mexico permit Mexicans to be is 'brown' not black because in the words of El Presidente del Mexico Vincente Fox "There are no Blacks in Mexico" because Black is not a proper color for a Mestizo as White is not a proper 'color' for a Mestizo. So Mestizo is "La Raza" and is offended by Black and White and wants a fourth racial category of illegal alien from Mexico.
Fork Meet Mitt
That was just the non english speaking ones you interviewed, right? LOL. You guys actually think anyone believes this?
And why not? Because Rush didn't say so?
Good to know the GOPTP never ends it racial profiling and stereotyping. Make sure your pointy white hat has just the right amount of starch - you wouldn't want it pointing the wrong way.
Hahahaha, yeah, better head over to Fox News, rhonda. Look for the article "Mexican Mitt supporters enthusiastic and out in force!".
Your joke of a candidate still has several ethnic groups to anger and alienate.
"We can't have illegals here. I'm running for office, for Pete's sake!"
What a total moron.
MSNBC, thats 70... Obama leads Corporate Raider Willard Romney by 70% with Latinos. And in Florida he leads by 11 points. Really, NBC stop showing your bias and show the NEUTRAL polls. the WSJ is CONSERVATIVE.
There are other sites on the web with true poll numbers. Ignore NBC's numbers.
And thats my opinion.
Kind of like that line, ignore the man behind the curtain?
Rhonda: This was a poll conducted by a GOP pollster. And you wonder why democrats question the intelligence of the average republican.
Really, it takes ONE man to sway your life sooo much that you say you NOW have faith in humanity. You to church once and a while and you will see that it is not the president of the United States that restores humanity. It is through YOU that humanity is restored. Wow, how captive you are to release your ability to help humanity to ONE man over you.
You are the reason there is a problem because you do not help humanity otherwise you would not be celebrating the ONE man but rather your own accomplishments. Oh BTW, mission trips is what I do.
50% ?
gee, all the mexican americans i know are not voting for obama again.
they might as well have said 100%....
either way its still not correct.
keck - you mean that one mexican american you occasionally run into at the store? That one? He wouldn't tell YOU the truth!
Obama/Biden 2012
Im shocked, Sanity insinuatining someone is a racist and has a baseless claim for it. Seeking Approval sounds like Zac de La Roca. Paint yourself into that corner
My wife is Mexican.....there's no way in hell she'd vote for lying ass Obama.
Neither is our whole town of Mexican neighbors.......true Obama will get the "inner city" Latino vote because they're poor as crap thanks to the Democrats (Biden: "The middle class has been buried for the last 4 years") but those Latinos can never be counted on to actually cast ballots.
i am mexican american you idiot.
keck - sure you are! And Lake Steve is - of course - married to a Mexican. Neither of you has ever met a Mexican!
Obama/Biden 2012
Obama gets the votes from those who get his handouts used to buy votes. If they bother to vote or can get to vote despite being here illegally. Obama trashed small business, any business and most latinos that I know here in Texas are business people, many are self-employed and they're scared witless of Obama and his anti-business, big government stance. Then, there is the racist arrogance of the democrats that treat minority groups like special needs children. "Here sweetie, vote for the nice man and he will get the government to take care of you because, well, because, you're stupid and need the government to take care of you."
@keck
All the Mexican Americans I know are voting for Obama.
mygirl - your entire post is nothing but fiction - all we expect from the low information voters on the right. You truly prove why the Republican party is imploding.
Obama/Biden 2012
SS,
Neither of you has ever met a Mexican!
How would you know? That's so insulting you're basically calling them liars.
My daughter is half Hispanic, are you going to tell me that she is not, or tell me that I dont have a daughter.
Silly
All three of them?
Mexicans are not the only LATINO'S!! you dumb @@S! You forget our territory of Puerto Rico!, Columbians, Cubans, etc. New York Ricans are all for President Obama. All of you lying posters talking about your being Mexican. STOP IT!!
Keck-- I would imagine that most Mexican Americans, and indeed, most Latinos find it insulting that they are being characterized by the Democratic leadership as being wholesale in favor of granting rewards and special treatment to immigration lawberakers! I am a life-long Democrat, and I find it appalling that the leadership in the party has pandered in this way, and I am sure you do as well. On this basis, I will not be voting for O this time around.
it wonderful how they poll only illegals and food stamp receipients. The hispanics I know here in NV are out of work and want nothing to do with hussein usama/pinoccio ticket. The unemployment rate for hispanics and blacks is among the highest over 20%. I don't believe they will vote for another four years with this illegal loser administration
angelica..keck.....I have been posting that I am one "white-hispanic" that will not vote for bOZOhussen again...obama and the Pravda press labeled us that after George shot Tryvon..remember?!!
Welcome to the fight for knowledge and light,..there are many shills here that only sling-POO in an effort to hide the light. and make themselves feel Big!! Ignore them!
my neighborhood is about 80% mixed race and of that 50% of the guys look like George!! Heck,he looks like george lopez, himself!.. Over 90% will not vote for obama...TOO many lost homes, lost jobs, killed Border Agents, in fact the first time we feel afraid of the Federales on the US side!!
check out Univision....
apoyo latino, no hay manera!!!!
Maybe if you borrow Romneys spray on tan. Your posts bashing Hispanics indicate otherwise. One of your posts you call someone homie was that you pretending to be black?
Larry-- where did Keck ever post anything that represents "bashing Hispanics"???--- please identify the quote attributable to Keck and the post # to which you are referring!!! It is nonexistent here! So, are you lying?
Angelica...please order your free pair of Obama reading glasses for Dem/Libs so you can read between the lines like Larry.
Cool, my chance to chime in.
Hey I know every Hispanic person in America and they say that the are going to vote for Romney! What a peeing match that is, like any of you know enough Hispanics to form a legitimate opinion on who they are going to vote for.
Just an excellent example of the Liberal LIES. Here, tell me another LIE, another LIE. Oh, this time I believe it.
Do you own research people because you being intelligent in your decision for the president is ACTUALLY important.
Does it really make sense to have a bigger Government that tells you what you can and cannot do, really. We are a FREE nation which WE, not the government, decide what to do with our lives. Republicans = small Government "FACT" and Democrats = big Government "FACT".
Our country sits right next to Mexico and some Spanish came to the southwestern United States from Mexico City after Spaniard Cortez conquered Mexico City in the early 1500s with the help of native Indians who they undoubtedly did marry and intermingled the two populations into a mestizo population, Spanish/Indian. Many Spaniards settled in the southwest US.
There is a lot of us and apparently we have been successfully multiplying.
Viva la Raza
BTW most of us are liberal beyond your wildest imaginings, yet Catholic. Go figure.
NBC..when are you going to grow a pair and show the Obama video...HHHMMMMMMM...you didn't have a problem jumping all over the Romney video...............Please.. 50 points......Latino's are far more intelligent than that..
The "Obama video" received wide media coverage...in 2007. You really want to talk about the Bush administration's failures to deal with the aftermath of Katrina?
Maureen, what Obama video would that be?
Maureen that speech was widely covered at the time. If you weren't paying attention then, you can find it archived somewhere I'm sure. Nothing was hidden.
Are you talking about the one that NewsforDumbFux got punked with last night?
What a brilliant strategy from the right wing nitwits - bring up Hurricane Katrina again! lmao
Relax Maury, it will all be over for you in a few short weeks!
The country will move forward, Willard will be nothing more than a bad
dreamjoke, and you can continue to stew in your hatred!Amy .. we have to be quiet around Maureen, she is busy auditioning for a spot on "Who's Smarter Than a Latino".
Obama's speech was edited at the time and was missing 9 minutes of footage. The un-tampered footage is what's going around now. And don't mind Feisty, she masturbates to a red white and blue donkey with Obama's face.
I'll take taco eaters for 200, Alex.
RedDev - ooooooh - she and Concern should get together. Between the two of them they still don't have a complete brain!
Obama/Biden 2012
Loki - your post shows the intelligence level of the Republican party. It also shows you have no integrity; no class; no upbringing; no nothing. But you're definitely a disgusting pervert!
Obama/Biden 2012
PT Barnum must of been looking you directly in the eyes when he coined; "There's a sucker born every minute"! lol
Now be a good sport, run along and remove the fish hook from your swollen fat lip!
holy @!$%#, like this is a surprising headline. Think we have seen this one, how many times now?? I wonder why they would support him,HMMMMMM? Such a hard question. God, the media really needs to report something we don't know.
Loki, you must remember, when you put facts in front of liberal/progressives, they back off the subject in hand and result to name calling and slandering. Although the donkey thing pushed you over the edge, you had them before that.
that is so true. I can't figure out, where they come up with half of this @!$%#.
Talk to the Hand - your post would be humorous if you didn't actually believe it. The lies posted by the radical right on this site are beyond sad. The racist comments - (see mcpaddywack) - speak volumes about the intelligence or lack of intelligence of Republicans. Yet you have the audacity to point to liberals as the probem? You truly are laughable. Sad but laughable.
Did you bother to read Loki's disgusting post? And, you actually believe that is in some way an intelligent post? You're truly a sad excuse for a human being.
Obama/Biden 2012
Liberals are racist. Listen to Obama's full speech in 2007 and explain to me how that fraud isn't a divider and racist.
listen to Feisty and Seeking.
Liberals are a pressure/supression group, they only exist to supress any and everything that doesn't fit their ideology. They pretend to either be ignorant or else deny facts or attempt to marginalize the facts because they don't fit their agenda. Liberals are also racists, they claim they seek equality, however, what they do is to marginalize people, treat them as second class citizens who need to be taken care of. They create a dependency class and then act like they've done something positive by it.
For liberals, Latinos and other non-white groups are inferior and dumb, they need the government to take care of them, they need special treatment, because, well because they aren't capable of doing things on their own. They aren't capable of creating a business, they aren't capable of aspirations and achievements on their own, we, the all noble democrats and liberals will insure that these inferior people are taken care of, so long as they're willing to subsist on government largesse.
LMAO the NEW video from 2007. You know, the video that was all over the media back in 2007 and has been available online for the past 5 years. You guys/girls really do live under a rock don't you. You just now found it. Bwaaaaaahaaaaaaa This just gets more and more entertaining.
SeekingSanity
Maureen - Pay no attention Insanity, she is still evolving from an amoeba just one cell and no brains.
At least we have what it takes to debate the Libs on FR. I say in FR, becasue I know many libs that are not as abnotious at the ones here.
Talk about videos, I'm sure by now everyone has seen the Obama gives me free stuff one. I have not heard anyone say anything or NBC comment on it. Maybe I missed it? I know it was just one person, but does she really think is true?
As far as this Post goes Obama leads Romney in Latinos by 50%. Did anyone read my post on what states are filled with Latinos, California, New Jersey, New York, and Texas. We already know that Texas is Romney's and the rest as usual are for the Dems. Really is a wash.
"Liberals are a pressure/supression group, they only exist to supress any and everything that doesn't fit their ideology. "
Loki...if it makes you feel any better, Fiesty has been banned several times for her nasty, mean-spirited comments. You're in good company...or not.
The video was show int 2007??? Um, please tell me that you are intelligent enough to be skeptical. The video was EDITED and parts were OMITTED! That is why it is coming up again because the new media LIED to you by editing the video.
Come on and open your eyes and think for yourselves.
SEEKINGSANITY - You might want to either change you name or abide by it because facts are facts. The video WAS edited.
Show me how I am wrong without the tangents. Stick to the video please.
SHELLIE - The edited version has been out for 5 years. Who cares about the facts anyway.
As you put it Baaahhaaaa <-- How stupid is this.
Stop acting like a kid and start participating.
I'm surprised that it's only a 50 point lead. When you invite another country to come to America and live the good life with free housing, medical care, food stamps, child tax credits to get refunds even though you didn't even pay taxes, etc, what do you expect?
Our children and grandchildren will pay for it...compliments of Barack Hussein Obama.
So are you saying that all Hispanics are illegal aliens who don't pay taxes, yet are somehow registered to vote?
I can't decide if your comment is racist, stupid or both!
totalmente sesgada .. Son demasiados hispanos de votación
TNSEVOL - my vote is for "both."
Obama/Biden 2012
"Obama leads Romney by 50 points with Latinos"
Of course he does, he also has the endorsements of Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chavez, and Felipe Calderon... everyone who dislikes America loves Obama.
Damn it SS! you beat me to it! I agree! Both.
TNEVESOL
If the shoe fits, wear it. You and all your buddies that are looking for a free ride in America, compliments of Barack Obama who will be history come november.
Believe it or not, some of us Latinos were even allowed into graduate school!!
Can you believe that? Shocking huh?
Racial division has grown at an alarming rate, and this president is ok with that.
Poor fair trade policies are killing our jobs in America, and this president is ok with that.
The middle class is being absorbed into poverty, and this president is ok with that.
And judging from these posts that is what Americans want. So jump on board everybody! Down with America! Obama 2012!
Quite the opposite. It looks like all races and ethnicities are gathering together, behind President Obama.
this fraud of a president uses racial division to promote his marxist agenda.....obama is poison...
Loki: Ignore button your gone, I wont miss you.
$ more 4 44
As expected, the stupid mexicans can't read and have no idea what the
truth may be. It was a republican who gave them amnesty. It's the republicans
that want them here. It sure ain't the poor blacks hiring them. Obama uses them
like toilet paper and they still vote for him. Promises broken, still vote for him.
It's actually the dumb tea bag WT type that get behind republicans like Willard, who out source their jobs.
I keep coming back to your post and find myself not knowing what to say. Except it's sad to hear a "Jarhead" make such statements.
Jack,
This punk sounds more like a jello-head if you ask me! ☺
True, Feisty.
Somewhere you said that when the election is over and the lights come on, the RWNJs are going to scuttle away like cockroaches. But you know what's going to happen when Obama wins, don't you? They're going to say he "stole" the election, or some such nonsense. They just refuse to believe that the current incarnation of the Republican Party is history.
I agree, Jack!
I also won't mind watching their raw hatred eat them alive the next four years!
Can't think of a more deserving bunch of bitter, ignorant people!
"They just refuse to believe that the current incarnation of the Republican Party is history"
HaHa. Are you really that clueless?
Democrats just suffered the largest party-flip since WWII in the 2010 midterms, and are gladly being replaced by the Tea Party.
Not only that you have all of these "polls" showing that the Democrat "leadership" is no less pathetic than it was in the 1920's when it was pandering to whites by promoting hatred of blacks via the KKK.... the only difference is that while you applaud the whites who were repulsed by their hatred, you cheer their hatred when it is reversed. One thing is clear, no future generation will applaud anyone who helped attempt to keep such a disgusting political party alive.
In case you haven't noticed pjam, it's 2012. Ask a republicn what a 2 year difference makes. I notice though you tepubs can't ever live in the present. It's always the past. Keep clining to it. It's working well for you. LMAO
Thanks, Jarhead for proving our point. What a doof...
My mother always said that Mexico will conquer America by population growth. She seems right. Take a look at California. You should be nicer to Latinos than you have traditionally been.
We are considered a polite people judged by our language constructs.
I find it satisfying that we are a factor in the election.
Is this really a surprise given all the insulting and hate-filled rhetoric by the other side and their trolls? If you want to be the party of inclusion, you might just want to try talking nice about others once in a while and accept that America is not all about white males and their God-given right to be bosses of all society
what a moron.....let's let blacks be the boss!!!!...just look at detroit!!!!...great stuff!!
mcpaddywack - let me see - I'm certain you didn't consider that racist, right? You're an ignorant buffoon. You're clearly threatened that a black man is ten times the man you are; 100 times more intelligent; 1000 times classier; and walks circles around you as far as integrity goes.
Fact it - the loser her is you!
Obama/Biden 2012
no it is not racist.........go look at detroit if you can get your head out of obama's bunghole....
mcpaddywack - there is nothing about your post that isn't racist and ignorant. But, it says more about you than it does blacks. You're trully a very little man - and disgusting to boot. I'm sure you're sooooo proud of that post. Pervert!
You are so upset that you will NEVER be half the man President Obama is.
Obama/Biden 2012
Obama is a good "Salesman" .... so good at it, he could sell $hit in a paper bag, and the libs are buying it !
The problem is he simply CAN NOT or WILL NOT deliver what he has promised... and he promises everything in hopes of being re-elected. He thinks he is "eye-candy" to women .... the Narcissist-in-Chief who is only concerned with his immediate re-election while TRASHING the future for our children !
grotto - "If you want to be the party of inclusion, you might just want to try talking nice about others once in a while"
Ahh, the simple mind of a liberal.
What America, and every country for that matter, needs is a party that does what is best for the future of their country, not some con-man pandering to simpletons to make them feel "included" or "special". If you think your personal "feelings" are more meaningful than the quality of life for entire future generations then you are more self-centered and self-righteous than even most liberals. Remember to thank the "party of inclusion" for "including" you and your children in the demise of America... at least you can feel like you played a part.
P.S.
"try talking nice about others once in a while"
You mean like "they're all clinging to their bibles and guns" or "he'll have ya'll back in chains"?
Well if the shoe fits pjam, wear it. Judging bythe posts here you are all clinging to your guns and bibles, while hiding under your beds. how's that working out for you? LOL
Of coarse not. He thinks he has facts to back them up so they can't be rascist...
By the way mcpaddywacko I don't live to far from Detroit...
I live in Ohio and the numbers on the ground near me are not the same as what is being reported. I would also like to ask if it is true that the DOJ did another end run around Congress? I read that they bought that prison in Illinois. True or false?
maggie - they DID buy a prison in Illinois but it was NOT done with an end run around Congress. It's well within their right to do. It is part of their job to find the best properties for housing criminals and there was one sitting empty - built but never put into use. It made good economic sense since it is already standing.
Obama/Biden 2012
Is this not the same prison that they wanted for the prisoners at Gitmo and was blocked by Congress?
maggie - no. In fact, they have vowed it will NOT have Gitmo prisoners.
Obama/Biden 2012
maggie -
If you really live in Ohio then you know that it is a diverse state, with many areas solidly Republican and many areas solidly Democrat.
They poll the whole state, not just your little corner of it. There are a lot of places where the auto bailout resonates, and where they are still upset by Kasich and the Republicans trying to "bust" the public unions.
I predict Obama will win Ohio with at least 52% of the vote - better message, better messenger, better "ground game".
Maggie -- it you actually lice in Ohio -- and I doubt you do -- you would probably know the Columbus Dispatch -- a solidly Republican newspaper, has President Obama leading by 9 points. Yo would also know that over the years the Dispatch poll has been very accurate.
I wonder why Comcast-NBC is going with the WSJ polls? The WSJ is a Conservative Newspaper and of course they will round down to their man, Corporate Raider Willard "Tax Cheat" Romney. Also in Florida... Obama leads by 11 Points in Neutral polls. I wish NBC would stop supporting Corporate Raider Willard Romney.
And thats my opinion.
maggie....obama&holder would not lie....No , NO!!! Go around Congress, never!!
...yeah, good idea Latinos.....turn the 47% into 57% as quickly as possible so that 99% will not be able to participate in the American economy and the whole country can suffer and go bankrupt.......great way to destroy America.....thanks Latinos.....at least you'll be able to move back to "your country" after the collapse....
I am sure that most if not all of the Hispanic "likely voters" polled feel that America IS their country.
The racists and idiots are sure out in force today!
tnsevol....hey, fool......is that why they always vote as a block and are only concerned with themselves????.....jerk..
TNSEVOL - "I am sure that most if not all of the Hispanic "likely voters" polled feel that America IS their country."
If that were the case they wouldn't site lessening control of U.S. borders as their number one election concern. No citizen of any country who values that country works to weaken it or simply hand away it's prosperity to invaders fleeing destruction of their own making.
nycguy
...yeah, good idea Latinos.....turn the 47% into 57% as quickly as possible so that 99% will not be able to participate"
those numbers add up to you? LMAO
Shellie...you're too stupid to realize that the 47% number being refered to is the amount of people living off the government teat....probably just like you....idiot..
Obama in a landslide, 332 to 206 electoral votes. Obama 2012.
It's too soon to be overly optimistic, but I don't see how Romney can win with less than 35% of the Latino vote. Even with low voter enthusiasm among Latinos, 21% among likely voters is going to hurt in states like Florida, Colorado and Nevada.
Looks like the GOP has managed to alienate Latinos almost as much as African Americans. Way to go Republicans, on your merry way to political extinction. You'd better starting thinking about the next group of Americans you would like to alienate, now that it is mission accomplished for blacks, Latinos, gays and single moms.
How many of them are in the country legally?? How many of those you mention are sitting on their azz collecting welfare and food stamps and not looking for honest work?? The republican's didn't alienate these ethnic groups, Obama made it easier for them to get a whole lot for nothing while honest tax payers are routinely hounded to pay their taxes to support these programs!!!
Racism aside, only Latinos who are American citizens were polled, as they are the only ones eligible to vote. Hence, "registers voters" and "likely voters". Very few people on government assistance are abusing the system. Most try to get off of it, as Mitt's father did when he was on welfare.
Gaithersburger--I think the Repubicans have made a really good start with veterans by voting down the Veterans Employment Act last month. A Republican in the Senate also put a hold on a bill to increase survivor's benefits by the cost of living. And of course Mitt didn't even mention Afghanistan at his convention and later dismissed the oversight. Thanks to 10 years of the wars they started, there are a whole lot of younger veterans out there to alienate.
In case we did not know, and not to take anything away form Latinos (myself being one), Below are statisticals research. I also gave you a link if your interested.
http://pewresearch.org/pubs/2362/hispanic-population-metropolitan-areas-us-american-community-survey-california-texas?src=prc-latest&proj=forum
@"Clotho..Racism aside, only Latinos who are American citizens were polled, as they are the only ones eligible to vote. Hence, "registers voters" and "likely voters". "
How the heck are they so sure these are eligible to vote? Demo pollsters definitely do not require proof that those polled are actually eligible nor do desire to verify. They only care about getting a vote...legal or not.
Looks like the GOP has managed to alienate Latinos almost as much as African Americans. Way to go Republicans, on your merry way to political extinction.
It you break if down by demographics, it's even worse. In 2008, the only group McCain carried was old white men and old white women. Every other group, black, Hispanics, Asians, young people, ever young evangelical Christians went for President Obama. Well today -- Republicans even trail among old, white women.
This is a shocker!!! In PA, a judge shot down a law in the works that would require voters to have some type of official ID with them to cast their ballot. Now, everyone and their brother can walk up to the ballot, say they forgot their ID, and vote. All of those fat @$$es collecting welfare and food stamps will waddle out of their abode and do one thing in a four year term, vote for Obama to keep getting something for doing nothing while keeping the unemployment rate low because they don't need to look for work any longer.
obama is poison...
FedUPAndDisgusting, show us the voter fraud in Pa. All of the cases that you know about. Typical Rethuglican name calling is all you are good at,as are all Rethuglicans. Only vote Rethuglican if you're suicidal. You sound like just another right winger who can't take his head out of his a$$,long enough to take his foot out of his mouth.
Nice try, Fed up. The state of Pennsylvania admitted at the hearing that it could come up with ZERO evidence of voter fraud in support of the law. And voters can still be asked to show some kind of ID--they just aren't limited to the very restrictive categories that the new law had. For example, a college student ID with a photo could have been turned down if it didn't have an expiration date on it (which most don't). Now those must be accepted.
FedUpAndDisgusted -
The Pennsylvania law was not "shot down".The judge simply decided that based on the evidence presented, there was no time in which to properly implement the law for the November 6th election. I fully expect it to be in place by next year. And if you want to blame anyone for it not being in place THIS year, you can blame the Republican governor and legislature here who rushed to get it in place without thinking it all the way through or having an intelligent plan for implementing it. Simply put, they screwed up.
As for your claim that "All of those fat @$$es collecting welfare and food stamps will waddle out of their abode and do one thing in a four year term, vote for Obama", I've about had it with this egregious lie, misconception, and stereotype. In my job, I've known plenty of people over the years who would rather sit on their fat @$$es collecting welfare and food stamps than to work hard and pay taxes like most of the rest of us do. But here's the thing: they don't vote Democratic. And no, they don't vote Republican.
THEY DON"T VOTE. Period.
They don't care who's in control of the "system", they're equal opportunity cheaters. They think that EVERYONE owes them a living. They probably couldn't even tell you who their two senators or their congressional representative is, let alone a single Supreme Court justice, and I'm guessing they'd have a hard time naming both the vice-presidential candidates, let alone telling you anything about either of their policies. They don't even register to vote, because doing so would require a sense of civic duty and responsibility that they totally lack. (And besides, they might get called for jury duty. Horrors!) These people don't care about politics or ethics or their country or anything except the next scam they're working on.
Or let's just look at it another way - do you honestly think that the roughly half of Americans who are eligible to vote but choose not to are all hard-working college graduates with deep political convictions who are just too busy on every single election day to do so?
No, me neither. Do us a favor and take your lame generalizations somewhere else. Believe what you want to believe yourself, but stop wasting your breath trying to convince anyone else of your "reality".
Leads, endorsements and a steady uptick in jobs, the economy and confidence by American's means nothing if people don't vote! By now there should be no question who should be president! Obama's presidential leadership is prevalent in the saving of the economy, the auto industry, foreign affairs, international relations even without any assistance from the TEA-Republican controlled House.

If you do not vote this cycle you convey to another, more power and influence with their vote. If you do not vote this cycle you convey to another the privilege to make your decision's for you.
There is a negative surrounding people of Hispanic/Latino origins which comes from their portrayal in movies and TV, which have exacerbated and stigmatized the Hispanic/Latino's with false colors.(pun intended) Every American has the same goal no matter their ancestry. Take a look at Julian and Joaquin Castro of San Antonio, Texas. They have attained the American dream even against the odds and barriers placed in front of them.
Well said Rudy G.
obama doesn't really like latinos.....he will use them though if he can...
Rudy - "Every American has the same goal no matter their ancestry"
Hilarious. Do you see Russian, African, Japanese, German, Irish groups "protesting" or trading votes for Obamacare in exchange for a "dream" act to let hoards of people from their homelands waltz into America? No, only one group of "Americans" does that.... and it is purely from racial self-interest not in the interest of America. All one has to do is look at how foreign invaders are treated in the same countries that Latinos want invaders to invade America from.
Democrats best enjoy this level of Hispanic support while they can because it will not last for decades.
Why? It's simple: Hispanics are Republicans they just don't know it yet.
True News of the day.. ..... ... More brave Americans die under the inept obama( Ambassador Stevens& crew, another dead soldier from Afghanistan)
Gov. Brewer said..
"What happens next has become all-too-familiar in Arizona: Flags will be lowered in honor of the slain agent. Elected officials will vow to find those responsible. Arizonans, and Americans will grieve – and they should.
"But this ought not only be a day of tears," Brewer added. "There should be anger, too. Righteous anger – at the kind of evil that causes sorrow this deep, and at the federal failure and political stalemate that has left our border unsecured and our Border Patrol in harm's way.
"Four fallen agents in less than two years is the result."
Brewer then attacked the Obama White House for an observation it made in 2011 about security at the border.
"It has been 558 days since the Obama administration declared the security of the U.S.-Mexico border 'better now than it has ever been.' I'll remember that statement today."
obama is totally full of shiat.......what does that make his supporters?......fools at best...
That has to be the best example of a republican argument that I've ever heard. Totally asinine.
I thought you were going to stop whacking-your-paddy. Show some self control.
JoMomma - no, it is a good comment because it riled another liberal dunderhead. In this case JoMomma.
Family values matter to Hispanics and liberals have very little to offer in that category. Hispanics are mostly devout Catholics and many in the liberal crowd denigrate faith falsely in the name of science.
Hispanics are overwhelmingly against gay marriage. They understand the value of hard work and climbing the ladder while liberals believe in watching others do it while they whine about their station in life.
Must I go on or do you get it yet? The only reason they have Hispanics now is because they pander to them on immigration promises they cannot keep. The lies will catch up to you liberals soon enough. It is why you are in the minority then, now, and always.
Democrats best enjoy this level of Hispanic support while they can because it will not last for decades.
Well -- it's been going the wrong way for the last 2 election cycles. In 2000 and 2004, bush carries almost 50% of the Hispanic vote. That dropped off in 2008 with McCain. Today -- the Hispanic vote is solidly for the Democrats. People like Jeb Bush know the Republican party has to attract Hispanics. But as long as the tea party people run the primaries, that's not going to happen.
rebel,Democrats don't have to worry, the Rethuglican Party isn't going to be around much longer. People have come to see them for what they are, just THUGS.
Wow...Republican commentary on here is getting weaker by the second. It's pretty much at middle school level at this point. I am willing to bet that by Nov 7th they will just be sitting in front of their laptops with their hands over their ears saying nanananana. LOL
Desperation is a stinky cologne.
Cheesehead you are a sucker. How does it feel to admire the biggest liar to hit the Oval Office since Nixon?
rebel you shouldn't talk about your hero Bush that way. Show some respect. Oh you're Rethuglican forget about the respect part.
The Republican party, does not have any issue with which I agree this time in voting. If the Repubicans could if they even had a chance of being elected, would probably take my right to a vote away. After listening to them, I guess being a woman is beneath most men in Congress. I will not vote Republican this time. the R/R is not fit to lead this country. The Republican Party has taken our nation to its knees, and don't know how anyone could vote for them. The people with no jobs, can and should blame the Republicans, if they want to blame anyone. Frustration at not being able to find a job. It is a shame that our nation has come to deploy this party so much.
....lol....you will be too busy working a second and maybe a third job to survive while the country sinks in to bankruptcy caused by stupid people like you who can't do simple arithmetic.........enjoy it.....
We can not only do basic arithmetic but also advanced calculus... So why is it that the republicans keep on with deficit spending and growing government... The Debt... Yeah the republicans built this..
Truly a very good lie by Ninjaboy ..... Most of the national debt increase has been incurred during the last two years of Bush's 2nd term, when Democrats controlled both the House and Senate, AND during Obama's inept, bumbling 3.8+ years.
Under Obama, there have no NO BUDGETS passed and Obama's proposals have never gotten the first, single vote ... not even from his pwn party !
Furthermore, the passage of Obamacare will result in something like 153 new federal bureaus, agencies, boards and commissions .... just to ADMINISTER the damn thing ! The Dummycrats own this POS legislation ... totally their scewup !
Ninja.....yeah, genius.....you couldn't balance your mom's shopping list.....Obama has almost doubled the deficit we had under Bush.....go back to school.....
Interesting. So when Bush was President, the increasing debt was the fault of Congress and the Senate, but somehow after Bush, it's now the President's fault. Ah, gotta love the Fuxnews logic!
nycguy..Yeah...It was almost doubled because President Obama put the spending in the budget that the previous administration (BUSH) left off of the books to try and hide it from the American people!!
Epic fail ! Congress voted for the wars, including John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, and Congress is responsible for passing a budget. It is the President's job to submit a realistic budget proposal.
Obama's budget proposals have been SO BAD ... they have yet to receive the first vote, even from his own PARTY !!!!!!!!!!! Democrats have always controlled the Senate under Obama and they controlled it the first 2 years under Obama. I guess Obama couldn't get it done with his own people.
Sounds like the nation is waking up and rejecting the party of dumb bigots, and not planning to elect the folks who drove the economy off a cliff and who waged needless wars.
By the way Mitt, your fellow Republicans are also waking up and realizing that you party is doomed. Here's what Senator Lindsey Graham said:
definitely in trouble as a nation....we are already in deep shiat thanks to this low-life scumbag obama....
i guess latinos are just as stupid as blacks....obama promises immigration reform, the lies and does nothing about it, and the latinos are voting for him?....pathetic....and as for the blacks, why are they voting for obama? could it be his skin color?...obama has shiat all over the black community and he takes them for granted.......see detroit chicago etc....the only time obama had anything to do with detroit was when he bribed the UAW at GM.......obama is poison...
Good ol' republicans... not a racist among them. Their party is dying and will die. Do they even notice that the good old white rich male is the smallest group of people in our country? I say it can't be soon enough to get them out of power.
so pointing out that obama has done nothing for blacks is racist?...pointing out the ruins of detroit is racist?.....i don't think so........it is called reality
Sounds like Paddy is one of the angry white guys Lindsey Graham was talking about.
JoMomma - calling a group stupid is not racism. You are stupid though I bet you have not been the victim of racism. Uniformed voters are the norm in this country and it is stupidity that shapes their voting patterns.
Alas, liberals are still in the minority in this country. Independents will not be there for Obama this time around to put him over the top. Nor will the women's vote. They are completely unenthusiastic about this election as are many of the faithful that were there for Obama in 2008. The polls point to a major deficiency in this area for Obama.
You lose.
skrekk- yep and with every post he shows how little intelligence he has. But, he's a GREAT Republican. The GOP must be soooo proud to be represented by such a little man.
Obama/Biden 2012
Greetings Fellow Americans, We need the Republican Party to start demanding candidates who have ideas that ordinary people can see are not only different from Democrats but truly would enable bipartisan support. We need two parties with ideas that are competitive which would give we the people choices that at the end of the day would benefit us all regardless of which path is chosen. A battle over positive forward thinking ideas would be refreshing and is sorely needed. Remember we are all Americans we are not Blue State, Red State, Purple State, we are people who live in the greatest nation on earth The United States of America. God Bless You All and try if you can to keep the conversation civil, savvy, and on point!!
Thank You Old Grumpy Man!!
Grumpy---I think the Republican party needs to start supporting the kind of candidates you describe rather than those on the extreme right. I think there are moderate Republicans who are losing primary challenges who would do what you are suggesting but they get voted down by the extremes.
While people like you support Obama who is very left-leaning ?
It would be poetic justice if Latinos were the deciding factor in re-electing President Obama.
What a sight it would be to behold Jan Brewer eating a crow taco.
yeah especially after obama lied to them about pursuing immigration reform........
mcpaddywack........
It is PRESIDENT Obama. It is NOT king Obama. He has not (yet) been able to overcome all the republican obstacles raised against immigration reform.
Latinos know, however, that President Obama cares about them and is their best hope for obtaining such reform. It may very well be possible in the next congress. That is particularly true if republicans suffer the losses that seem to be looming.
But, why do YOU suppose Latinos overwhelmingly support President Obama? Please try to answer without further insulting Latinos.
...because they all think alike and they are stupid?...does obama show his care about them by lying about immigration reform?.....they must be stupid....i never thought that until i saw this poll from MSLSD....maybe MSLSD thinks latinos are stupid....
Ian---from what I have observed during this election cycle, the Latino community is very well organized and well informed. They understand why immigration reform hasn't happened and they know it is the divided Congress. They also heard Romney speak out against the DREAM act and argue for "self-deportation". They know who will support them and who won't and will vote for the President.
Mc, or maybe they don't support your side because you lump them all together as illegals and call them stupid. Truthfully, the Latino population in America is moderate/conservative, you guys have just alienated the hell out of them. Using them as scape goats.
Most people can't support b@tsh!t extremism, especially if it is aimed against you.
Latino's are not stupid but the medias poll would like us to believe. Anybody no mather where they came from can see the damage OBAMA has done and will continue to do. As the say even Little Richard can see it.
Little Richard is not blind. Did you mean Ray Charles? Stevie Wonder?
Judging by the poll, you are correct: Latinos are not stupid.
the poll indicates widespread stupidity among latinos.....sad
"Little Richard" !!!!
Now, that's a good one.
Why not Terri Gibbs ? Are you prejudiced?
"Little Richard can see it"? Therein lies the crux of the Republican party issues. That's funny.
When anyone reads your disgusting comments they immeadiately think of the Rethuglican party,because it is how most of them think. If they are not rich,old and white you don't belong. You should be the poster boy for the Rethuglican potty.
Liberals are not CAPABLE of understnding how Republicans think or how Conservatives think ..... so when you spout your nonsense, you merely make a fool of yourself.
Having our country live WITHIN ITS INCOME and not running up the "Charge Card" is a good start, but you are probably one who makes "minimum payments" but can't understand why the balance remains so high !
Doesn't take much jim to figure out how you "think". Especially when you guys are making comments like "Even Little Richard can see it". LMAO
Hey jim-1455434........
Please direct us to links where you excoriated GWB for "running up the charge card".
Remember, you folks inherited a SURPLUS. Furthermore, at least President Obama can point to a very valid reason for the extraordinary but necessary spending (YOUR virtual depression which he inherited).
Why should anyone believe you would do any better given another chance at-bat? It is more likely you would simply finish the job of destroying our economy.
For anyone interested in the relative unemployment rate performance between the 1st Reagan administration and the 1st Obama administration:
go to: http://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet
1st: Enter 1981 in the From field and 1984 in the To field .......notice the unemployment rate starts at about 7.5%, peaks at nearly 11%, and ONLY falls below 8% in 1984....also, notice the rate did not start to climb until AFTER Reagan took office. It was actually falling when he took office.
2nd: Enter 2009 in the From field and 2012 in the To field......notice the rate at the beginning of Obama's first term was nearly 8% and climbing rapidly. Also, the rate peaked only 9 months into President Obama's first year and declined steadily thereafter. The rate is now just above 8% and on a steep decline.
No serious student of economics would assert that the economy Reagan inherited was even nearly as bad as that which Obama was handed. Yet, as these graphs show, President Obama's performance has actually been better than that of Reagan.
Of course, we all know the outcome of the 1984 election.
Most the people on this post are dumber than the average Latino.
