Fox News Poll : Reasons for backing Romney - "He’s not Obama" (43%), Republican (14%), "His issue po - Polidicks

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;36006255]These kind of people vote. There's your problem. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjP-y7YaNUE&sns=em[/media][/QUOTE] "I don't like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash, because we're not" You're working pretty hard to prove otherwise.

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;36005831]I like how Romneys whole drive is the economy for his campaign (as he states), but all his Obama smearing is reflected in this poll as what he's actually worried about. Can politics grow a fucking spine and worry about the goddamn problems we're actually facing that affect this country and the whole world? I didn't vote in a bunch of 60 year old elementary school kids to run this country.[/QUOTE] There were politicians like that. Most of them lost their jobs. Republicans are bought out and often forced to assume extreme positions that make Ronald Reagan look like a socialist and the democrats always feel and talk like they're walking on eggshells, and as a result, many of them are walking on eggshells.

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;36006255]These kind of people vote. There's your problem. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjP-y7YaNUE&sns=em[/media][/QUOTE] I really do think that when white people are more outraged by "reverse racism" than racism, this is the type of conversation they have amongst their peers. Actually, if you get my northern, bumfuck-nowhere Minnesotan relative away from my relatives who live near the Twin Cities and get them drunk, racist shit flies out of their mouths. They generally don't say it in person to someone who looks liberal or non-white because they know what might happen. And furthermore, I wish people would stop calling bumfucknowhere the "True American Heartland;" most Americans' ancestors came here saying "I want to move to New York and make something of myself," or "I want to move to Chicago and make something of myself," not "I want to move to Brimingham," or "I want to move to Topeka-holy-shit-where-did-civilization-go-ville." If you want to act like you're more American than the rest of us, at least have a history that suggests it.

If you want to act like you're more American than the rest of us, at least have a history that suggests it.[/QUOTE] This. These country bumpkins, many of whom descendants of people who went to war in the name of NOT being US citizens, have no grounds to claim they're the "true" Americans. People came to this country for the cities, the modernness, not to be stuck in the past. Almost nobody agrees with them and they only serve to slow progress and make the rest of us look bad.

Romney's idea of fixing the economy and government spending is to start pointless, expensive wars with Iran, give massive tax cuts to `the job-creators` and decimate government programs such as Medicaid. Well, he's got my fucking vote!

If you want to act like you're more American than the rest of us, at least have a history that suggests it.[/QUOTE] I would like to point out that your city life is nearly completely dependent on "bumbfuck nowhere". They call it the True American Heartland because the agriculture and animal domestication hold up this country. They are an invaluable part of the "civilized" society in the cities. No part is more important than the other, because without one, the other is worthless from the perspective of civilization and culture.

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;36006255]These kind of people vote. There's your problem. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjP-y7YaNUE&sns=em[/media][/QUOTE] The government can only be as good as the electorate who voted for them. Basically, we're doomed.

Almost half of Romney voters vote for him simply because he isn't the current president? Ow.

In fact, you implied it when you said "Topeka-holy-shit-where-did-civilization-go-ville". The theme of your second paragraph was how backwards rural areas were, while cities are beacons of civilization. That's the type of logic that states that nations like Songhai, or the Swahili City States weren't civilizations, or that the people north of Greece weren't civilized. These places don't just provide valuable services, they are an intrinsic part of American culture that has no less value than the factories or artists in the cities.

[QUOTE=King Tiger;36012949] Small Southern and Midwestern villages that have no agriculture or industry are useless however.[/QUOTE] Where are they? Generally people go where there is work, meaning that there needs to be agriculture, industry, animal domestication, mining, or a prison. One or more of these criteria generally need to be met otherwise there is no source of income for the people in the town, since no money comes in from outside areas. A town cannot simply support itself through stores because that just keeps money in circulation throughout the town without actually increasing money supply.

I'm sorry to say this but, this makes me bomb America to end the utter retardation thats higher than an actual retard. Sure, you might call it opinions, but those are the most backward imaginary stupid opinions I've ever heard.

Anyone whom isn't at least a high earner and votes republicans is being a hypocrite anyhow,at least economically.

Ok, could we fuck off with presenting straw man insults and acting like anyone who would vote for Romney is an ignorant and/or racist tool? There are plenty of reasons not to like Obama, and usually FP is pretty good about this but right now most people in this thread are acting like his fucking fan club.
