You are not alone! There are millions of Americans who love and understand the benefit of the ACA, OBAMACARE! I love it too....

DITTO!

aren't ya gunna try bringing out the "death panels" right-wing pr bs bugga-bo again?

Now, you will distort

If ObummerCare is not repealed or stopped in some way, the bureaucrats will - repeat, WILL - have the equivalent of death panels. In Europe, they actually call the process of these death panels "quality life points." How old are you? You may not qualify.....

Ha! I just knew you'd have to dig up that tired ridiculous right-wing bugaboo! Oh it's too much! Oh what would I do if i didn't have you to entertain me!? Oh how old I am is definitely NONE of YOUR business. I've seen more then enough of what the world your party will create, I have no intention of giving you details of my life. YOUR party is the party of FASCISM that sends their murderous military killers in the dead of the night to make people "disappear" to unmarked mass-graves like your sainted saint-ronnies buddies in South America did in the 80's.

Don't forget: THEY know what is best for US, even if we are the overwhelming majority.

Now, you will distort

Sorry. The President's Affordable Care Act is duly passed by Congress and is now the law of the land. Approved by the Conservative Supreme Court of The United States. Please go to the link above and locate facts. (Those are the "true" things.)

You certainly represent the overwhelming majority of problems in this country. But despite that, the President has graciously decided to let bygones be bygones and, YES! - you too have been allowed to participate in the President's new health care plan. Congratulations and enjoy your life!
(Don't forget to send the thank-you note. It's just good manners.)

Don't need it, don't want it. I was among the responsible people who started a good health care plan from a relatively young age. But Obummer will redistribute the wealth and force responsible people to pay for the bums.

Don't waste good fresh tomatoes! Now once they go rotten, that's another matter....

Wait a minute what are you talking about? They invited him!

If he didn't show up the NAACP would have called him a racist, and because he did show up, it gave these nincompoops a reason to complain and appear relevant.

I listened to this on NPR and some of these NAACP people just sounded like bunch of morons. If I were the head of the Romney campaign, I would have issued a press release telling the NAACP that they are irrelevant and I politely decline the invite to appear.

I don't think he made a fool of himself by going to the NAACP. I think a presidential candidate _should_ at least attempt to reach out to those who may not like him. After all, the president is the president for everyone, not just some. Where he went wrong was instead of just reaching out, he reached out and slapped an entire group of people. He was not speaking to AA's so much as he was saying to his base, "You see, I told them no more free stuff".

THAT was why he went there.

I believe it was a win for Romney, and big. It has continued to make news.

It is a big win for him on two points:

1. He showed he is looking at people as Americans, not like the Left does in terms of race. In other words, what is good for America is good for everyone; race and any special groups are irrelevant as they should be.

2. He showed he has the guts to stand there and tell the truth. I think that mainstream who looked at him as a boring and lifeless candidate are now taking a second look. Bravo for Romney!

"this most racist country we live in"

When you write something like that, it means that you are comparing America to other countries. The fact is that we are LESS "racist" than almost all modern countries (and 3rd world ones, too). But more importantly, racism does not define our country at all. We do not live in a "racist" country.

"I believe the NAACP are totally irrelevant. If that is "racist" then I stand guilty as accused."

Your saying that does not make you a racist.

{maasanova, you said alot to say absolutely nothing. All you did was enforce your racism.}

No, maasanova did not. The charges are baseless and false.

Well that's one way to look at it. I'm still not voting for him though.

Hilarious! They invited him to see what he had to say, yet knowing full well what he was gonna say. He couldn't say so we went. They booed. Expected.
It's not really about what happened there. It's about the ongoing GOP political posture. He was dead meat way before he got there. It's happening all over.

A fair statement. The concisely true statement is that we live in a country with a large contingent of Right-Wing citizens characterized by their intolerance of any and all who are not like them.

You are delusional!

Mitt should have turned down the invitation if he wasn't sincere about being there. His primary goal was to use the event to make a point to his base, not to build bridges. No one really took him seriously, because after addressing the convention, he went on Fox News making racist, retarded statements.

No one would have thought of him any differently by not showing up. It is customary for the NAACP to invite all presidential candidates to their convention, almost all Republican candidates turn down the invitation. He should have stayed away if he was up to no good.
To refer to Mitt Romney and the entire group of moronic/racist delusional Teabagger presidential candidates, is an understatement. President Obama is light years ahead of Mitt and the clowns that challenged him in the primary.
You people have a tendency to insult the victims of your obvious racism. America would still be in the dark ages if it wasn't for the courageous members of the NAACP fighting for the rights that were being denied by racist, cowardly White people like Mitt Romney.

["The President is the President for everyone? I wish someone would tell Obama that."]
What? Sounds like complaining just to complain. If there's one thing he's tried to be it's the POTUS for everyone.

Thanks! Kindof hard to be a racist when you are half black like Obama, but unlike Obama, I DO have ties to black communities lol

Well documented in these forums.

That is correct, John.

He was placed in that position by GOP policy. That's their problem.

Not kidding. Am paying attention. Nor am I blaming it all on you.
The divisive issues ALL come from the Right, specifically the Far Right. GOP has been obstructionist on everything put on the table, and has to be in order to keep them in check. They're losing the middle but they don't care. They continue to be obstructionist. They're destroy themselves and drag you down with them.

You in my opinion , are also irrelevant and annoying.

And a female pigs vagina ain't pork either.

A wise candidate addresses the issues of his/her audience. When Mitt Romney speaks to the 1%, he articulates the message that captures their attention. No more, or lower taxes. This is all they care about, and he knows it, except for less or no governmental regulation. Instead he was condescending and rude to his host, and didn't address the issues that they cared about.
Mitt is the only person in this situation, who supports racist people and policies.

It was crystal clear by his condescending attitude and rude speech. He wouldn't have insulted a Republican audience in a similar manner, by promising to take away their ever loving GUNS, or uphold the voters rights Act!

Mitt isn't intelligent enough to produce a new speech for every audience that he addresses, so he usually relies on the same lies, talking points.
Talk is cheap. Action speaks louder than words. Show me where he has openly stated that he was opposed to the recent increase in voter suppression laws implemented by Republican governors. When has he criticized racists like Rush Limbaugh, or Teabagger politicians who uses racist terminology in reference to President Obama?
What I am saying is that, he got deservingly booed for being condescending and being dishonest as always.
No, we ain't all in the same boat.Your voter rights have never been in jeopardy.
What's absurd, and ridiculous, is for him to go there with that dumb speech expecting not to get booed. Unlike his supporters, the NAACP members are not impressed by how much dirty money he has outsourced to foreign bank accounts.

Thank you. Romney has frightened the Left with this one.

Romney was probably very sincere about being there. He told people what they need to hear.

"Kindof hard to be a racist when you are half black like Obama, but unlike Obama, I DO have ties to black communities "

Thanks for sharing that. I find the charges against me that I am racist to be absurd, but I do not wish to disclose the reason on this forum because the Left-wingers will twist and distort, and they will use it to attack viciously. Be careful. Heck, I mentioned I had children, and they used that against me, insulting my family. Be careful of what you disclose.

The Left is the most malevolent of the intolerant: They do not tolerate beliefs and thoughts that do not align with their dogma. The essence of political correctness and speech codes is INTOLERANCE. The attacks on states' powers is based on INTOLERANCE.

If Romney were less honest, I suppose he could have talked around the issues to appease. He could have pandered to the audience in a typical political fashion.

But Americans are sick of that.

The putative "1%" have what % of the vote, by the way?

Romney is very intelligent.

"Show me where he has openly stated that he was opposed to the recent increase in voter suppression laws "

There are no voter suppression laws, so how could Romney be against what does not exist?

"The putative "1%" have what % of the vote, by the way?"

And other than being able to buy elections via mass advertising this would imply what by the way?

OK, avoid the question.

My apologies, I assumed that the question was rhetorical, in which case I thought it prudent to answer your question with another question. I don't know why I thought your question was rhetorical though since you never use any of those...

Produce some evidence where cowardly Mitt Romney comes out against racists like Rush Limbaugh, and other Teabagger politicians, who rant, and rave about President Obama.
It's extremely obvious, Mitt Romney is a racist! If you aren't a part of the solution, you are the problem.

Romney cannot come out against such people because they are not racists. Stop the race-baiting.

Ha! :)

As Nanac so correctly stated

It's extremely obvious, Mitt Romney is a racist! If you aren't a part of the solution, you are the problem.

the right-wingers will twist and distort, they will LIE outright and constantly, and they will use it to attack viciously.

all the right-winger are, all they have is their endless depths of hate and fear. very small frightened hateful creatures they are.

Limbaugh is not racist? That is an incredible discovery considering he has said...

"Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"

"Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."

"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."

"They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?"

[To an African American female caller]: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back."

"We need segregated buses… This is Obama’s America."

"Obama’s entire economic program is reparations."

"I mean, let's face it, we didn't have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back; I'm just saying that it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."

and...

"You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray. We miss you James. Godspeed." James Earl Ray was the confessed killer of Martin Luther King.

Those sound like pretty racist things to say for a person who is not a racist...

Thanks for the jokes. Made my evening.

I got another one for you, not a Rush quote but an actual joke.

What do you call a black pilot?

I would simply call him a pilot.

Left-wingers would use both words, emphasizing the first, of course. You just did.
