Romney's 47% Comments....

We all remember in 2012 when Romney claimed that 47% of Americans didn't pay income taxes....which was true. His comments have since become somewhat of a battle cry for conservatives, and I am getting sick and tired of hearing it. I did a bit of looking and found a really great article debunking his comments, at least in the context they were presented. I'm sure this is nothing new to anyone, but it's a good refresher.

Good Gawd People, I Don't Think the Sky is Falling

RELAX.......wooosaaaa...........woooosaaaaa (Bad Boys lol)

Thus continued email BS is nothing new, and is certainly no game changer. Anyone who is that swayed by a headline would have had their head screwed off years ago. lol

This well placed bit of partisan antics is better dealt with now than after the election when it turns into a collusion accusation followed by impeachment hearings. Hillary has been shoveling this shit for 30 years. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Liberal Redneck

I don't know if there is already a thread pertaining to this guy, but he is awesome! If you look him up he has several short videos on everything from transgender bathrooms to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Enjoy....

Obama to do Real Time w/Bill Maher

FINALLY!! One of the greatest liberal minds of our time will have his show graced with one of the greatest presidents of our time!

I love Bill's no nonsense approach to politics, which I'm sure has kept the president from doing his show, but I'm glad he finally took the opportunity to do it. I hope that Bill doesn't hold back.

Young Trump Supporter

I feel sorry for this girl. I think her heart is probably in the right place, but she lacks a bit of comprehension. She says she longs for the day when being a republican doesn't mean that you have to be a racist or a bigot, yet she's going to reward that type of behavior with her vote. I wonder what she thinks the GOP has to offer her? I wonder if she realizes that a large number of her constituents don't even think she is capable of making an educated decision in the voting booth? Not because she's 20... I wonder if she realizes you don't have to be a conservative to be fiscally responsible? I wonder if she realizes you don't have to be a conservative to have a high set of moral standards for yourself? I wonder if the girl in the video who said she thought Trump had some good ideas to drive the economy knows how much of a failure his businesses have been?

This first-time voter has a secret
