Not necessarily in that order.

Your 4 reasons triggers a Liberty University Google advertisement in your response.

the voter will get a tax cut, yes that would apply to the wealthy who would never vote for a Democrat.

those who feel their marraige is threatened by gay/les

those who feel others are living off of them

those who are frightened that someone else get free health care

oh to heck with it. Your willful ignorance covers all that, I bet.

Both willful and not. I know a lot of otherwise rational people that only watch Fox News, which gives them a VERY skewed perception of reality to say the least, and I think that plays a large part in why they still haven't kicked this moron Romney to the curb, politically speaking.

steal a 10 % margin election ? I think the answer is.......... YES AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT'S A 20 % MARGIN.

percent.

I would be more than happy to have the government give the millionaire and billionaire bastards that think like Mitt a portion of the country and build the biggest fucking moat ever around their asses. The rest of us can then live without them. Guess what? We will do just fucking fine and build a better country without them.

That's all some people care about.

from wiki:

Bigot: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices

Exceptionalism: is the perception that a country, society, institution, movement, or time period is "exceptional" (i.e., unusual or extraordinary) in some way and thus does not need to conform to normal rules or general principles.

Both notions combine to lay the blame for all of societies ills at the feet of others, while reaping maximum benefit for the self.

of my being. It's racism. Period!

There is a reason why the Republican Party has been so successful at running "dog whistle" campaigns, using "Welfare Queen" and Willie Horton ads. That shit works. And it works because the electorate still has deeply rooted issues with race. As our country continues to diversify, things will only get worse until the bigots die off once and for all.

I always think racism, too. But they were just as vehemently against Kerry in '04. And I didn't understand it then, either.

Racism might be a component, but there is something else at work.

candidate.

The difference is this: Before Obama even won the primaries, they started with the hate, and it was mostly racially tinged rhetoric. Hillary and Bill Clinton should accept some responsibility for that.

Still, the hate for John Kerry is absolutely different from the hatred and disrespect shown towards this president.

They hated John Kerry because he is a Democrat who is moderately progressive.

They hate Barack Obama because is a Democrat who is moderately progressive and who is black!

And I have said this many times...

There are the people who look around and think to themselves, "The world would be a better place if everybody would take care of themselves."

And then there are people who look around and think, "The world would be a better place if we would all take care of each other."

Depending on which idea resonates with you, that's how you vote.

"The world would be a better place if everyone else took care of me."
