The ruins of the Reichstag satisfied (c) Obama's victory is satisfied

[yes_justice]

So, mitt Romney is The Reichstag fire and President Obama is Hilter and Dems are Nazis?

Did I miss your quip?

[rjf_snyker]

No. I did not mean arson, I mean taking the Reichstag

I stand corrected, thanks.

"Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is telling top donors that President Barack Obama won re-election because of the "gifts" he had already provided to blacks, Hispanics and young voters and because of the president's effort to paint Romney as anti-immigrant."

Yeah. It's a bitch when the POTUS treats all Americans like Americans instead of only a select subset that liked to call themselves "The Real America".

I've heard every excuse possible from the GOP except for "the dog ate my homework".

[sophia_sadek]

He could not use that one because the dog was strapped to the roof of the car.

Captain Quint disavows any knowledge of this.

Romney also said the administration's promise to offer what he called "amnesty" to the children of illegal immigrants - what he termed "the so-called DREAM Act kids" - helped send Hispanics to the polls for Obama."

There's an absolutely outlandish claim.

[underlankers]

Because 1) all Hispanics are sympathetic to illegal immigrants. No Hispanics are members of the GOP or back any kind of restrictions on illegal immigrants, and 2) all Hispanics think alike, right? A Cuban is a Guatemalan is an Argentine, so why bother noting that maybe they might vote differently based on that regard? Naw, them Lah-teen-ohs should be bashed on cheap demographic-based populist appeal.

[notmrgarrison]

Can I get an icon that skirts rule #1 too? And use it in an ironic fashion?

Anyhoo, there's nothing in his quote that implies anything that you said.

[underlankers]

Nice try with derailing but I'm not taking the bait.

the administration's promise to offer what he called "amnesty" to the children of illegal immigrants - what he termed "the so-called DREAM Act kids" - helped send Hispanics to the polls for Obama."

But of course he wasn't saying that Hispanics voted because they all got free stuff relating to having more of their relatives coming over because Obama promised them that. Why? Because you said he didn't say that.

"Well my political career is over, might as well be the hateful bigot I was trying to suppress during the election."

[geezer_also]

I would have thought you were too intelligent to try and make a correlation with that, but obviously I was wrong.

(By the way, most of the conservative pundits I have heard, think his assessment is wrong, and since the voter turnout was actually lower this time in "targeted" groups he probably is wrong. I admit that my initial reaction (given how "we" voted in Ca.) ran very much along those lines....I am currently reassessing)
