Like trailer trash poor right? Like the people you love to run down when it comes to it....right? You liberals have no love for the poor. You just use them to your political gain when need be...to pull on heart strings, to trick "the people' into thinking you will give them some food...like the poor black woman in Al that got caught stealing 3 cracked eggs because she and her kids had not eaten in 2 days. The cop bought her some eggs then the rest of the department brought her a truckload. So, some of us see past the bs you throw out and realize the DNC/Progressive left really does not give a rip and you will hand the people dust in the end. Just what did Stalin do for the peasants? He filled mass graves with them.

That's why they can't leave the limelight in the political world.



if you know anything about politics, when a party of a sitting president is divided, the president usually loses re-election. It happened in 1992 and in 1980 when Ted Kennedy challenged President Carter and divided the party. That's where the term Reagan's democrats came from.

Its really hard to beat an incumbent President unless he has a true challenge within the party like in 1980 and 1992.



Bill Clinton was a weak candidate in 1992...if you study the primaries you would know what I'm talking about.
I think Bill had a stiffy when he was Gov and probably before, for anything with a skirt. I still admire him for doing a semi decent job as president. I do have a problem voting for Hillary simply because she stuck with this guy for so long just for political gain. She is not my idea of a ball busing successful woman......She is weak in that department. But I prefer her over Warren....but Romney over those two.
I want someone to fix this economy and the DNC has done a dismal job of it.

So basically you are saying because Bill and Hillary make millions in book deals, speeches and land deals (which a few went to prison for fraud) and other investments that's more honorable and harder work than what Romney did on his own in the private sector?



The argument of the left always seem to amaze me.....lol
Now, now. You are confusing the lib posters with the truth...you know the chaos that causes.

The real hypocrite in your little scenario is Mittens himself who demonstrated in support of both the Vietnam War and the draft that manned it yet conveniently avoided both. I don't give a rat's ass how much $$$ he does/doesn't have, I care about his utter failure to support his alleged beliefs.
And you think Hillary does? Alright then.....

I would also sleep a little better with Hillary in the white house over Warren....she scares me. Rick biatch that she is.......being 1/32 American Indian and all.
What families were lied and cheated regarding Whitewater?

There is a difference when you have to actually create your own wealth as opposed to being born into it. The former can absolutely relate to the average American because that's where they came from. The latter...not so much.

Baloney. Mitt Romney got NOTHING from his parents but a good education. He earned every penney on his own. He refused to accept the wealth from his family. The Clintons got every penny grifting off of government service and kickbacks from favors while in office.

I notice you seem to be having difficulty understanding the difference between earning wealth through work and effort and being born into wealth and inheriting it with no effort involved. There are plenty of online dictionaries that you could use to educate yourself on the difference between the words "earn" and "inherit." I'm pretty sure you're capable of doing that, though having read many of your posts here, I won't assume.
Romney gave away his inherited wealth. And are you saying that he didn't work hard?

More than that, Bill Clinton grew up lower middle-class. His family struggled with money. Hillary grew up in a solidly middle class home. Neither grew up with stock portfolios and servants. That means they can relate to the financial stresses faced by average Americans. Even when Bill Clinton was elected Governor of Arkansas, they struggled financially. After all, the job only paid $30,000/year. And it was a 24/7 job.

When Romney needed money as a college student, he simply sold some of his stock shares. That's not a typical experience for college students. When he moved to Massachusetts, his father bought him a home that some of his college professors couldn't afford. That's not a typical experience for grad students.

The idea that Romney couldn't relate was supported by statements that Romney himself made.
The Clinton's have lived of the government teat for many years. I don't consider that "earning" anything.

It wasn't for lack of trying. Amazing that in spite of using their political influence, and surrounding themselves with crooks, they still couldn't succeed in the private sector.
