Ah, but studies show that conservative beliefs and prejudice go hand in hand with low intelligence and religious affinity.

And there was a METRIC FUCKTON of racist shit against Obama during both elections, and there still is today even after he was elected. Not to mention Romneys quote about 47% of people being low class losers who look for nothing but a handout going hand in hand with conservative views that only blacks and mexicans require welfare.
That reminds me weren't there people hanging effigies of Obama in nooses up?

That comment was that 47% of people don't pay income tax, not that they are black and mexican low class losers.

And we both know that one implies the other when you're at a fundraiser of some of the most openly racist rich people on the planet. And 47% of people not paying income tax is complete and utter bullshit and he knew it. It's like someone saying black when you knew they meant nigger but caught themselves just before letting it slip out.

If I am correct that rumoured 47% included children and pensioners anyway.

Damn children and pensioners being a drain on our society, they should be annexed to New Jersey and Florida respectively.

So in essence that 47% figure is bullshit.

Also, why? Are you republican?

Uh. . . Dude. . . Liberals have for decades been having to deal with being call "nazi communists hippies f*gs out to destroy amurica". There's worse things to be called cause of your political ideology than "racist". Try being a actual socialist and trying to keep people from jumping the shark.

Actually talking about politics again looking at congress' approval rating via-
http://www.gallup.com/poll/159401/congress-approval-remains-during-fiscal-cliff-debate.aspx
Looking at the difference between republican and democrat approval ratings in the long run democrats had a far higher approval rating in 2010, going into 2011 and lasting until the beginning of the fiscal cliff talks both parties had similar approval ratings. However with the fiscal cliff democrats profited the most widening the approval rating difference between the two parties.

With the upcoming talks about the deficit ceiling you have to raise the deficit ceiling end of story. If the deficit ceiling talks drag on like how they did with the budget talks not only will democrats benefit again, but it will drop the republican party's approval rating again. Basically if this was a game of poker not only are democrats for the most part ahead the republican party's current hand looks like crap. If they raise and try to bluff then and the democrats don't fold the republicans will lose what few chips they have left. If they fold then the lose the least amount of chips. Their own hope to win big is to raise the bet and hope the democrats fold.

However my two cents is that no matter what if you get handed a crap hand just fold. Bluffing is for when you might have something and it turns out you didn't. To get further into the metaphor of poker, if you get handed 5, 6, 7, 9 & 10 then you can continue and if you discard your 10 & 9 hoping for a 4 or 8 and you are handed a 2 & jack then you bluff. However if you get handed a 1, 2, 5, 9 & jack then just fold cause you aren't going to win.

Basically what I am getting at is the republican party needs to learn how to gamble. Right now they are going big when they should be biding their time hoping for the deck to get hot. The deck was hot(fiscal cliff) and now not only did they lose, but the deck is getting cold and their current hand is crap. If they keep going big then by the time 2014 rolls around not only will they be down to their last few chips the deck will be hot, hot, hot and they will have to go big to keep control of the house, except they won't have the chips to go big. The reason why I think gay marriage will be legal, abortion will still be legal & pot will soon be legal is the republican party is gambling when they should be biding their time for the next election to go big, instead they are going big when they are behind and are getting crap hands.

It's less of a "everyone in the usa is going to approve of gay marriage" and more of a "those opposed to gay marriage don't know how to gamble".

Are we calling you nazi communist hippy **** when not using a :V? The answer is no. If we are going to be civil please be civil back. Also calling us racists isn't going to get us anywhere in the conversation nor will calling you commies.

How about this then.
The reason why democrats are going to win in the long run and as a result more and more liberal laws will be passed while conservative laws will be repealed is that the republicans are trying to go big and win every last hand that is dealt to them.
