Let us be realistic, ladies and gentlemen. Suppose Romney wore a Swaztika to a rally TOMORROW [View all]

and said "we'll get rid of the poor, disabled, unemployed and minority problem".

How many independent voters do you REALLY think he would lose if he said that today?

What do you think the mainstream media would do?

I'm not really sure anymore that he would be ruined for such a move.


I have been getting out the vote for a month now and I was mainly doing it for California. In retrospect I was poorly uninformed about the rest of the country. We Dems have it good in California. The rest of the nation? Let's just say I've been getting educated on the fact that many other parts of America is not doing as well. I mean, we're winning, yeah, but nothing remotely close to the margins that you would expect from a rational populace.

For the first time in many years I'm actually scared. The 47% remark should have meant the collapse of all independent support for Romney. The media did get that meme out. The political atmosphere was full of flammable gas and the spark was struck. There was just no Earth shattering kaboom.

Now I'm not going to despair and freeze up. I just don't know what the fuck to do. People around ME are horrified at Romney. People I talk to at a distance in Middle America... not so much. I don't know what could reach these people. They're not die hard Republicans, those people I have already written off. It's the people who remain confused even after being informed of the absolute madness of the GOP that's taking the starch out of my legs. There's got to be some way we can reach them.

We're not going to get the media to clean up its act until the people themselves regain a moral compass and a solid concept of right, wrong and downright atrocious.

What do we do? Any ideas? I'm stumped.
