Things that make me want to run a few fuckers through a wood-chipper:

Last edited Wed Oct 3, 2012, 06:26 PM - Edit history (1)

Hundreds of thousands of African-Americans will vote for Romney.
Hundreds of thousands of Latinos will vote for Romney.
Millions of women will vote for Romney.
Millions of poor and middle class Americans will vote for Romney.

I still firmly believe that the skeevy, robotic, smegma smear is going down, BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THOSE PEOPLE?

Unless you're paying serious attention to what's going on then it's falling off a log easy to get an extremely distorted view of all things political. Americans are subjected to a great deal of propaganda designed to make them vote against their own interests, it's hardly surprising that the propaganda works in a lot of cases.

puts television shows like Honey BooBoo on the chart.

There's a segment of America that doesn't want to know what the fuck is going on. They want to sit down

let their decisions be made by others, and relax. All that pondering and thoughtfulness only gives them a

headache and takes time out from the Voice and PawnStars of the Delta Valley where even you can buy some

cheapass replica bullshit made in China crap just like they make there.

I think you get my drift.

> Millions of African-Americans will vote for Romney.

Seeing as how Flip-Flopper is polling at 0%, I think the number of black votes for him will number between 50,000 and 200,000 nationwide. Not millions by a long shot.

> Millions of Latinos will vote for Romney.

Latinos MIGHT make a million. I doubt highly if it will reach two million, so "millions" is technically wrong.

> Millions of women will vote for Romney.

Sadly, yes.

> Millions of poor and middle class Americans will vote for Romney.

You'll know the poor ones by noting repig bumper stickers on their 20+ year old jalopies. Chickens voting for Colonel Sanders.

Let's say around 100 million people are voting in this election. African-Americans will comprise maybe about 13% of that? So that's 13 million right there. The last I heard, Romney was polling ZERO with African-Americans. But let's give him 5% to be generous. That's still only about 650k. I'd be surprised if more than a million African-Americans vote Romney this election.

The next time some "I'm not racist!" douchebag claims President Obama was born in Kenya, or is a Muslim, Communist or member of Al Qaeda, I'll have to restrain myself from flaying him alive and wearing his skin as a cloak!

Hey, if the OP can use violent imagery, I'll join the fun!
