Well, we've lost the B.B. King vote.

Accuse your opponent of having your weaknesses.

As opposed to the Republicans' beneficent strategy of maliciously and spitefully attacking the demographics that didn't side with them in 2008 - blacks, Hispanics, women, young people - right?

Ah. More racist drivel from a man named Kraut.

blacks, Hispanics, women, young people, aka the majority of the population.

Charles Krauthammer is claiming to know what women and minorities are thinking?

Now I've heard everything.

When Rush Limbaugh was asked for his hopes for Obama's presidency in 400 words, his response was "Okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails."

And naturally the banjo-thumping white GOP demographic has a problem with this.

Awww... They're so cute when they are trying to pin their candidate's weaknesses on their opponent. Yes. Obama is a HUGE, pandering flip-flopper. LOL!

I honestly can't believe that Krauthammer is actually trying to make this argument here. This one massive piece of bad fiction, and it just shows everyone how desperate conservatives truly are. Seriously, Charles? I'm feeling pretty badly for you right about now. If you had any ethics or honesty, you might be worth pissing on if your head was on fire.

Who is his audience for this piece? Obama's base? Like any of us are going to read this and suddenly believe Romney will fight to protect women, minorities, gays, the young? Cold day in hell, creep.

Directly from the article:

What to do? Try fear. Create division, stir resentment, by whatever means necessary - bogus court challenges, dead-end Senate bills and a forest of straw men.

I'm confused. I thought this was word for word from the right wing play book for how to run THEIR campaigns.

You mean us disenchanted conservatives? Yea, the romance is gone, but it's not like we're going back to our old abusive boyfriend who's currently on a coke-fueled rampage of violence, misogyny, and racist rants.

Ah, it must be a day ending in y again. Time for Republican projection.

You know he didn't mean it. Things have been tough and all mixed up and mistakes were made (on both sides). Stick with him and you know he can become the person you fell in love with again. I mean, just look at those eyes.

You'd think their projector would be broken by now, with all this heavy use.

sweetmelissa31: blacks, Hispanics, women, young people, aka the majority of the population.

Man, the poor author of the article just dove right into that one didn't he.

You know I am concerned that Obama's Mormonism might be a liability for him in the upcoming election.

Election season = pandering. Welcome back, Rip Van Winkle.

Jackson Herring: You know I am concerned that Obama's Mormonism might be a liability for him in the upcoming election.

Not much crazier than trying to nail him on the individual mandate.

And another tidbit:

The ethnic bases covered, we proceed to the "war on women." It sprang to public notice when a 30-year-old student at an elite law school (starting private-sector salary upon graduation: $160,000) was denied the inalienable right to have the rest of the citizenry (as co-insured and/or taxpayers - median household income: $52,000) pay for her contraception.

Why does the right keep using this as an example for ANYTHING. His statement is a fabrication, just as Limbaugh's was. In fact, it's not just a fabrication, it's an out and out lie. I realize there is the hope that if they just keep repeating a lie enough times, it becomes the truth. But really, it's in their best interest to just stop with that, already.

Yeah, the GOP is going to stop telling lies as fact. Also, I'm a leprechaun who farts gold doubloons.

Call me old-fashioned, but I feel like the right used to be a lot less blatant about their projection.

Bush making Kerry look like a coward was less blatant?

They did it in a way that seemed less obvious, then. Maybe I'm just getting used to it.

Obama is appealing to the people who elected him? HISTORY'S GREATEST MONSTER

Does this idiot really think that blacks, Latinos, women, and young adults are going to vote for Romney, a member of the party of "Let's make the rich richer by screwing blacks, Latinos, women, and young adults?"

Lorelle: Does this idiot really think that blacks, Latinos, women, and young adults are going to vote for Romney, a member of the party of "Let's make the rich richer by screwing blacks, Latinos, women, and young adults?"

That's precisely where their charge falls apart completely. Does Obama pander to them? Probably. But he's also offering them something significant and relevant to their lives. All Romney is offering is, "Haha Obama is playing you so vote for me."

Good luck with that.

Romney will never get a vote from me, not even for dog catcher. I have seen first hand how he deals with public monies, and I didn't like it Maine or Massachusetts.

He cannot "win" my vote. I will do everything to keep him from office. This isn't a choice. I don't think we can afford a Romney Presidency. Not on foreign policy. Not on international trade. Not on domestic issues, and certainly not in this economy.

We cannot afford to have him as President. Nothing more, and certainly nothing less.

The swift boat stuff was brilliant. I hated Bush and even I believed there was something to it and that Kerry must have in fact been somewhat of an opportunist when it came to these medals.

Oh, an article by Krauthammer.

/makes jerkoff motion

I used to vote Republican. They now have nothing to offer me but anti-abortion bills and the ability to vote against Democrats in a meaningful way.

That may be good enough for 45% of America, but it's not good enough for me anymore.

What? Pandering to the electorate? Oh, that devious Obama! Our system was free of pandering before the Kenyan came along!

That poor chicken.

vernonFL: That poor chicken.

It's so used to it by now that it just casually smokes a cigarette and watches Wheel of Fortune during the act.

Hey, stop by my place for dinner...we're having chili.

Subby is new to politics?

So, a strategy based on appealing to groups other than the narrowest demographic of white, evangelical protestant, rich, old, (nominally) straight men?

Good luck with that.

Will the cleaning ladies and secretaries at Gtown who could benefit from birth control also gonna be making 160,000K/year?

Who the hell is Moochelle and her big fat ass to tell us what we should eat? It's a matter of personal responsibility. If people are too dumb to not eat it's not the government's role to dictate what we should or shouldn't eat.

Keep government out of my stomach.

"not eat well" that is
