Why? You'd still slavishly and mindlessly vote for whatever Democrat you are told to vote for, along with 95% of all the other "blackandproud" Americans.

Actually my right to a VOTE makes me one of the Proud Black Americans. Deal with it.

The statistics don't lie, do they?

All are welcome in the GOP. You lefties want to be pandered to, which is why you're Democrats.

Interesting, so WHY is it again Willard on the Campaign trail begging for money if thats not Pandering I would Love to know your definition of pandering. Apparently the Republicans will only pander to Suburbian White Middle Class meanwhile ignoring the Urban Minority Middle Class.

No, I think they mean instead of the traditional idea of being "invited" and "welcomed" (aka, "pandered" to), Republicans feel that you should earn your way in... and that of course is by contributing money (...duh)!!

If it makes you feel any better, he's in High School. I'm not kidding--he's about the same age as my kids. I wonder if his mother knows he's on the computer saying racist, awful things to other people. This is the kind of thing that would get one of my boys grounded for a week (as well as losing unsupervised access to the computer for a lot longer than that), but I can't imagine them saying something that awful to begin with. I'm going to apologize for him because he doesn't have the maturity or upbringing to know why he should do it himself. You shouldn't have to put up with this garbage, and I'm sorry that happened.

Furthermore, I believe the full-on assault of Ryan's policies will work this time around.

Let's assume Romney does lose. Guess what? The GOP still wins. They have brought to the forefront the future of their party, which is a hard-nosed fiscal conservative that is a lot more socially liberal than Democrats care to admit.

I don't agree with Ryan's policies too much. But he has something that pretty much every politician in Washington has lacked for quite some time. This something is called "ideas".

I agree with EJ Dionne when he says running on theory will lose you an election. With that said, if you can get affable, charasimatic people to explain your theory, both sides are much more apt to listen.
How is Ryan Socially liberal? He supports prayer in schools, personhood, and is against pretty much any piece of Gay rights legislation he sees. Does being in your 40s and doing P90X get you social liberal points?
