rMoney the racist piece of shit uses the "angry (black) man" meme:

and yeah, people who use that meme if only in an appeal to racists are themselves racists. I want rMoney destroyed in November. I want him to be a forever laughing stock and punch line. I want his shit stained career to end in ignominy and deep everlasting shame. I want him to be tormented and without a moment's peace and I want him to live to at least 90. Btw, asswipe Mitty, this is anger.


Mitt Romney used a tough new campaign speech to personally blast the Obama campaign on Tuesday, saying comments earlier in the day from Vice President Biden are "what an angry and desperate Presidency looks like."

"Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago," Romney said while campaigning in Ohio.

Romney was responding to Biden's suggestion that the GOP ticket's economic policies would “put y’all back in chains."

The vice president made the remark while campaigning in Virginia, during a discussion of Wall Street regulation.

that has abandoned it's roots and now is has become totally decadent and alienated from it's founding principles. To wit:

"Resolved: That, with our Republican fathers, we hold it to be a self-evident truth, that all men are endowed with the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that the primary object and ulterior design of our Federal Government were to secure these rights to all persons under its exclusive jurisdiction; that, as our Republican fathers, when they had abolished Slavery in all our National Territory, ordained that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, it becomes our duty to maintain this provision of the Constitution against all attempts to violate it for the purpose of establishing Slavery in the Territories of the United States by positive legislation, prohibiting its existence or extension therein. That we deny the authority of Congress, of a Territorial Legislation, of any individual, or association of individuals, to give legal existence to Slavery in any Territory of the United States, while the present Constitution shall be maintained."


"Resolved: That the Constitution confers upon Congress sovereign powers over the Territories of the United States for their government; and that in the exercise of this power, it is both the right and the imperative duty of Congress to prohibit in the Territories those twin relics of barbarism — Polygamy, and Slavery."


"Resolved, That the highwayman's plea, that might makes right," embodied in the Ostend Circular, was in every respect unworthy of American diplomacy, and would bring shame and dishonor upon any Government or people that gave it their sanction."

These quotes are from the Republican platform of 1856 in Philadelphia, PA. This is the basically the founding document of the fledgling Republican party. http://www.ushistory.org/gop/convention_1856republicanplatform.htm

Compare this, with the modern day Republic Party (yeah, Republic )positions; you will find them diametrically opposed. They have totally abandoned the principles on which they were founded. The next time you talk with a Republican, quote him these platform planks and ask him where they came from. He'll probably say : "Oh that's from the Liberal Democrat party" and then spring it on and watch his head explode. Compare and contrast what the party once stood for ("free labor, free soil, free men&quot and what they stand for now; corporate hegemony, minimalist government and domination of the people by the elite. The ultimate irony is that the head of the ticket belongs to a religion that at one time (if not presently) advocated polygamy and who's grandfather was a practicing polygamist. How ironic!

But some 60+ years ago, Senator Aiken (R-VT) wrote a scathing letter to the RNC detailing how the Republican party was no longer the party of Lincoln and had become extreme. Here we are with a radical repub party controlling the House and with a Repub presidential ticket that's going to get no less than 45% of the vote come November.
