Romney Is Winning Young Voters ... For Obama

I see the liberal Democrats are out there continuing to place blame and pointing (mostly the middle) fingers on whomever or whatever has been detrimental to their little "I want my free-bee" agenda...
Our "welfare president" along with the freeloading Democrats have had total control of the Executive and Legislative branches of our federal government for two years (2009-2010) and what did they accomplish in that time???
How about the unprecedented loss of over 2,000,000 (that's two million) jobs in two years; bribed (Ohio Kickback & Louisiana Purchase) and passed an illegal, unconstitutional, and a very, very, very, very expensive national healthcare bill (Obama's "legacy") that most of the country now wants repealed in it's entirety, and which is sure to die in SCOTUS in June, btw; have no plans to keep a national budget (so they can continue to carelessly spend all of our hard-earned tax dollars on such things as lavish worldly vacations, eh, Michelle...!); began a now unprecedented over $5,000,000,000,000.00 (that's 5 trillion dollars in numerical form, folks) in new national debt, and they did THAT in less than 3 years!
...then after all that and much more, the filthy little beggars call you names like "bigot, racist, and misogynist"!
We need to find a way to extinguish the Democrat Party permanently (....just like the KKK they started)!
When, that is, WHEN our new Republican President is elected in November, it will be then that we can begin to restore our beloved country the way it was meant to be!

What ? Was LEFT OUT your stupidity ??? WE WON BIG Nov. 2, 2010.Voters DIDN'T like Democrat controlled Congress & WH:
"In every case over the last 60 years, major tax cuts have more than paid for themselves. In fact, every major tax cut since JFK has been followed by substantial increases in revenue, not to mention solid economic growth. Moreover, total federal revenue rose at a faster rate after each of those tax cuts than it did before them. Anyone can confirm these basic facts for themselves by checking federal budget data and economic indicators before and after major tax cuts (see, for example, Federal Budget Data, Data 360 Unemployment U.S., and Total Economy Database). Let’s take a closer look at the results of the last four major tax cuts (and then for good measure we’ll examine the Mellon tax cuts of the 1920s)."
"Bush Tax Cuts: President George W. Bush’s 2003 tax cuts generated a massive increase in federal tax revenue and were followed by 52 consecutive months of economic growth. From 2004 to 2007, federal tax revenue increased by $780 billion, the largest four-year increase in American history. Total federal revenue from 2003 to 2007":
"2003 -- $1.78 trillion
2004 -- $1.88 trillion
2005 -- $2.15 trillion
2006 -- $2.40 trillion
2007 -- $2.56 trillion"
"Total federal revenue for 2008 dropped slightly, down to $2.52 trillion, because a recession started that year, but revenue was still substantially higher than it was in 2003 or 2004. During the same period, income tax revenue rose dramatically, going from $925 billion in 2003 to $1.53 trillion in 2007. As with other types of federal revenue, income tax revenue dropped slightly in 2008, down to $1.45 trillion, due to the fact that a recession began that year."
"It’s important to keep in mind that the recession had nothing to do with the tax cuts. The recession was brought on by destructive federal intervention in the subprime mortgage market, irresponsible funding and securitization of subprime loans by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, unsound Federal Reserve monetary policy, a lack of oversight by the Securities and Exchange Commission, greed and fraud committed by certain large banks and investment firms, and consumers who bought homes they really couldn’t afford."

You forgot the facts that republicans are bigots, racists, and misogynists. You also forgot to mention that it was the Republicans who created the Great Recession. The economy has actually been slow since 2003. All through the Bush years the economy was slow and in 2006 the economy began losing 800,000 jobs under republican rule. The republicans also controlled both houses of Congress from 1994-2006. Republicans utterly trashed this country with their $2 trillion in Chinese borrowed war spending which effectively made China our owners and bankers and with their Bush tax cut for the rich which created the budget deficit. Obama inherited all these crises and a nation on the brink of collapse after the republicans. Anyone with an IQ above their shoe size would not vote republican.

At 71, most people your age are ultimately blessed with wisdom and they rarely, if ever, tell lies.
1) You obviously do not read
2) You are obviously listening to your confused daughter/granddaughter
3) At your age, your comment of becoming an "out and out Democrat" proves you lack the wisdom mentioned earlier
....or you are a total liar!
The latter (per the definition of today's Democrat) is most likely the truth!
I wouldn't want YOUR karma, boy!

Vicent lawrence, u didn't logically think your comment through before posting. Sometime ago, a certain student gained from the Reagan student loan welfare program, that student was barack Obama and he's the current POTUS. Imagine if he hadn't got this govt welfare help, his dreams will have faded with mixed disappointments. However, the loans are not freebies, they are always paid back. Ask POTUS. In the future, the students gainers of this program will forever be grateful to the American state for assisting them achieve their dreams just the way Obama is grateful to Reagans economics that bailed him out. Note; he's paid back all his students loans back

Another modern liberal pundit working for a corporate conglomerate media organ thinks he is being edgy and relevant when he's just being another biased ignoramus hypocrite in my opinion.

It isn't just young people.
I'm 71. I've spent most of my life with a slight republican tilt. These brave new Republican fundamentalists have pretty much turned me into a out & out democrat.

Obama will chase after the Welfare Gravy Train vote, and the young inexperienced Idealist that thinks everything should be free, without rules.
When or if they grow up, they can say to themselves, "What was I thinking"

In response to the first post above: I think Guantanomo and the Patriot Act are the last things on Americans' minds right now.

Obama is taking a big hit over his policies on the drug war. Many of his former supporters hoped that he would do something about this travesty. Instead he has only ramped it up.
