Something along those lines.

Romney said Obama won because he gave out so much free candy, heh.

Recently posted on a lefty forum, which I just love reading.

Jesus christ you farking rednecks are so retarded all you vote for is guns and god? Get with the times you rights don't matter anymore fuck off!

Haha, we're flooding your states with minorities and immigrants they will hate you and never vote with you since we give them free stuff.

Have fun being a minority loser, your days are fucking over. Hope you like paying taxes because you didn't build that you were just born lucky, plenty of people work hard too so now they need your money and special priveleges. By the way, we just won even against a landslide of you people since our plan to dilute your vote worked flawlessly.

Not sure if serious.

Not that there aren't people out there like that, but that looks like a grade A troll on most of the forums I frequent.

Or an immediate ban, either way.

The "you didn't build that" line makes me believe in the troll theory.

Paul Ryan: We refuse to learn from our past mistakes. Rick "I should be in a sanitarium" Santorum also chimes in like a jackass...

Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) on Monday dismissed the notion that the party would ever embrace same-sex marriage, and insisted that "it would be suicidal if it did."

Only things that are living have to worry about suicide. Your party is fucking dead.

The Republicans are fucking TERRIFIED of losing their base. They're so ignorant. Their base will NEVER vote Democrat, so change policy all you want to pick up votes from people who will vote Dem.

"Would never vote republican" also applies to... oh.... about 47% of democrats, too.

I really think it's going to take at least solid 10 elections of them just getting their asses beat in the White House and Congress before they learn. All the old, insane party members should be dead by then. Hopefully, they aren't replaced with new insane ones, although Paul's not inspiring confidence.

Know why Romney was a terrible candidate? Because the media says he was. On paper he was a better person and leader than Obama in every way, except for not being democrat.

So no, there is no hope for anyone not democrat, for the foreseeable future. The media won't let there be hope, and they are not being held accountable.

He did a decent job of burying himself.

Yeah, I remember how his correct "47%" statement was completely ignored by the media, and his "binders full of women" comment was taken out of context and completely ignored by the media, and how the media is always investigating every bullshit statistic the Obama white house puts out.

I didn't need the media to tell me Romney was an atrocious candidate not fit to be President of the Home Owner's Association, much less POTUS. Unfortunately the two even partially qualified candidates in the primaries/general (Ron Paul & Gary Johnson) were pretty much completely ignored by every media outlet except Sourcefed/PDS.

Not seeing anything contradictory, here.

Are you shitting me? Just off the top of my head, I can recall Mitt thinking the Patriot Act is still a good idea.

In 2011, he signed a pledge promising to seek passage of an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

Yep, totally the most important thing going on in the country at the time.

Are you missing my point?

Me, neither. Obama's an awful President - worse then Romney would have been - but so what?

1 < 2 doesn't imply that 2 >= 100.

But it doesn't matter. No under the age of 50 pays any attention to old media. And everyone over 50 votes whatever gives them the best Social Security and Medicare. Media has become irrelevant.

Original point was that the media will play up a republican's weaknesses and ignore a democrat's weaknesses, and even report them as strengths, and that republicans have no chance to win anything important in the foreseeable future.

That and "free candy."
