What annoyed me most about Romney was his .......
He was totally ruthless against the Republican field in the primary runup. Knocked his opponents.
He blitzed Obama in the first debate.
Then the advisors got to him. "You know, Mitt, you really shouldn't go after a Black President. That would not be nice."
So he coasted. And lost. Nicely.

Dumbfuck, there's one brewing in the American military right now. The whole "hunt illegal/irregular immigrants down and deport them" is another. 60% of the American prison population is black, versus 10% of the general population and your Commander in Chief just gave a rousing speach to cops as to how they need to up their already sky-high levels of force. That's a third, by any stadard.

And you are talking straight out your asshole if you think "no one's looking for illegal immigrants unless they broke the law". That statement in and of itself is a measure of what a clueless, bigoted pig you are.


The fact you believe that shit shows what a clueless bigoted buffoon you are. Just like with your "eyewitness" the facts on the ground disprove you easily. Yet you persist in your delusional claims.

IF the decision is made regarding transgenders serving in the military, then we'll see what comes of it. No "witch hunt" whatsoever. I'd offer that it is essentially no different than other times the services have focused on groups of people and made rules to process them out even when it made no sense to do so. But they weren't "witch hunts" than and aren't now.
The whole "hunt illegal/irregular immigrants down and deport them" is a bunch of nonsense, given that we aren't securing the borders. Have any proof besides your "eyewitness" telling you? If there was such an effort, the press would be all over it. How hard would it be to start a roundup of non-lawbreaking illegals? Piece of cake. Hit the "day hires" spots. Mandate there be proof of citizenship for any employment. Lots of other low hanging fruit that is going completely untouched. So where is your proof? Another eyewitness quote? Films of Federal Law Enforcement raiding sanctuary cities? Street and neighborhood sweeps? What exactly? Stuff like this?
[quote]By the afternoon, nearly three dozen people had been arrested in front of Trump Tower in two different rounds of sit-ins; they were being processed at the 7th Precinct stationhouse and were expected to be issued desk tickets, according to NYPD Chief of Patrol Terence Monahan.
Some of the arrested are DACA recipients; the NYPD says the protesters arrested outside Trump Tower won't have to be fingerprinted if they provide their information willingly -- no fingerprints means no arrest information transmitted to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Yeah, buddy! That shows the efforts that folks are going through to round up the illegals, right?


The blacks in prison is a long standing canard of the left. Hint: They weren't just incarcerated in the last few months. Part of the problem is the collapse of the Black family (Thanks LBJ!), the economic problems in minority areas - made worse for young black male adults over the entire two terms of BHO, and a number of other problems. How many of that 60% did not commit a crime?

Trump's speech? Link? I suspect you are getting you knickers in a bunch by reading more into what was said than what you heard - much like you KNOW things that I've never said, done, or posted. I suspect you are referring to DJT on Long Island addressing a group of law enforcement officials and speak about the administration’s efforts to eradicate the gang Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13.

I also reject your "sky high levels of force" crap. If you look at all that law enforcement does across the country, there is no such thing. There ARE instances where it is completely appropriate, for which I'll make no apology. There are others where it was inappropriate and it seems that whether through the action of the municipalities or the result of personal devices capturing information on social media, the bad actors are identified and dealt with. But then, you probably include officer Wilson's self defense from the "gentle giant" saying "hands up don't shoot" is an example of what you claim. Utter nonsense.

So as usual, Brazilian Sewer Shit. Lots of it, stinks to high heaven and comes in an endless supply.

He kicked BHO's ass all over the place in the debate where foreign policy was discussed. Seeing how well that worked, they decided to not do it any more. Of course, there were other issues like the DEM's dirty trick book - not the least of which was Reid lying on the Senate floor and when challenged after the election claimed "It worked, didn't it?" and the press totally in the BHO bag.

But I agree, he ran a poor campaign against a flawed opponent who had bad results while in office and a suck-ass economic recovery, a disastrous foreign policy and he should have been able to easily win. Bad instincts, bad advisers, no ability to see for himself what was true and what course to take. Another notch in the barrel for Karl Rove who is zero for how many since GWB?

Our virtually open southern border would not have existed


You do understand that the current employment situation coupled with ongoing demographics means that right here, right now, we desperately need immigrants in large quantities? We are at structural full employment and besides a large and growing deficit in STEM needs, we are horribly short of all skilled/semi-skilled/basic labor construction trades before we even start to rebuild 100,00+ homes in Houston and Lord knows what happens to South Florida.

I remember a few years ago attending a lecture from a team of diverse economists (both right and left) yet all agreed that by 2025 the US would be begging for virtually any immigrant looking for honest work.

Let me guess, giving African American's the same rights as the white folk mean't they got ideas above their station. And that led to the breakdown of the "black family unit" which should have sat at the back of the bus and kept away from white drinking fountains...

You really are a racist piece of shit!!!
