It's comments like this that the republican party has to steer clear of.

Re: Romney says Obama won by showering black, Latino & young voters with big gifts.
It's a new age, and unless the GOP gets with the times, they are one and done. Adapt or get adapted, there is no in between and there is no way to succeed without doing so.

Notice how quick Governor Jindal jumped up to disown Mittens' bullshit. They realize it's stuff like this that got their asses handed to them in the recent election. Willard's vag still has sand stuck in it after Barack ran the board on the swing states and now he might have to start paying some real taxes. He'll be less sour with time, all part of the healing process.

[QUOTE=DonDadda59]
[B]But Jindal, when asked about Romney’s remarks, said in order for the GOP to be “competitive,” it has to “go after 100 percent of the votes, not 53 percent. We need to go after every single vote.”[/B]
Jindal’s criticism seemed to take latent swipes at Romney’s “47%” comments that were secretly recorded earlier this year. At a May fund-raiser, Romney argued that nearly half of Americans were “victims” who were “dependent” on the government. Those voters, he argued, sided with Obama.
...
[B]Romney's remarks come after top Republicans in recent days have pushed for a bigger tent party, saying the GOP learned this election that it has work to do in terms of demographic changes.
"We've got to be a lot more inclusive and open and energetic and wanting people to join our team by expressing why these conservative values are good for people of all races, creeds, colors, and national origin," Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, previously a top surrogate for Romney, said last week on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront."[/B]

That's the issue. Conservatives cannot accept change and are unwilling to include people that may be different than they are. They don't accept the fact that different people have different opinions; you don't have to agree with anyone but at least respect the differences in opinion.
Until that happens, it will be a blame game for them like Romney here. Guy lost the election and must come up with a reason or some groups of people to blame. Does he not understand that blacks/latinos are both minorities, and they combined do not even come close to outnumbering whites? If every white went with Romney and every black/latino went with Obama, Romney would have won the election by a huge blowout margin. It clearly wasn't the case.
As for students - what the hell is Romney mumbling about? forgiveness of college loan interest? What? Students still have to pay their loans and still have interest rates from previous college bills. Isn't it frozen at 3.4%? 3.4% is not the same as no interest rates on college bills. As a college student, I feel insulted with the blatant lie here by Romney.
[B]You lost, Romney. Get over it.[/B]

He was probably ordered to disown those comments too. I guarantee you over the course of the next several years you're going to see the republican party doing some serious overhauling of their party and their image. The shit isnt flying anymore, and public perception of them is in the all time crapper. Romney certainly isnt helping with BS like this here.

Does he not care about the future welfare of the GOP?
This isn't helping, Romney. I assure you that your republican friends will agree with me.
Stop creating a rift between the rightwing and minorities and now even young voters. This quote is COMPLETELY INSANE. Why keep pushing people out of your party?

Obama should still reach out to Romney. Not because Romney is deserving of it, but because the GOP will say that the Dems didn't try to work with them in the next election. If Romney refuses to work with Obama after months of saying how good he is at working with Dems, it will further may the GOP look bad.

Re: Romney says Obama won by showering black, Latino & young voters with big gifts.
Remember when Obama promised he would fix the economy? :roll: I can't believe these people fell for his bullshit again. He is a divider, yet people bought his bipartisanship myth again because of a pretty speech. We just have to admit that a large portion of the population really wants free stuff. Like O'reilly said, a lot of people feel like the system is stacked against them. It isn't, it's just an excuse for the weak and lazy to not try harder to succeed.
We now live in a country where people think that punishing success is a good thing. They think this is Robin Hood in real life. When they look at a rich person they think that person has too much! Take some away and give it to the rest of us! Instead of aspiring to be like them and working their asses off to make that happen.

They feel like the system is stacked against them, because the system [I]is [/I]stacked against them. But just not in the way they think. It's not capitalism and free markets that are hurting them, it's government. Government obstruction of capitalism, not letting markets function that is hurting the poor the most. It feels good in the short-term when government gives you something for free, but over time this wealth redistribution will rot your economy from the inside out. Massive debts financed by an inflationary central bank will rot your economy from the inside out.
What the poor need is more CAPITALISM. You don't hear that too often on CNN. But unfortunately it won't be easy. A return to capitalism would cause massive pain in our economy at first, as we allow all the government-induced mal-investments to be purged from the system. It could take a year, 2 years, I'd guess even more. But that pain is coming ANYWAY, people. The only question is, what's waiting on the other side? A free economy and prosperity? Or an even more fascistic economy, with even more government controls, and the end of America's golden age? That's the choice we are facing. That's the precipice we are approaching.
And by the way, if the Republicans had any balls, THIS is what they'd be saying to the American people. Truth and honesty about the economy instead of trying to be a lighter version of the Democrats.

Best way to help the poor would be to deregulate professional liscensing and other barriers to entry for possible small business entreprenuers. It is probably the most harmful regulation for the poor and lower middle class but its hardly ever talked about or reported on because its an issue of state law for the most part.

Right or wrong, what the Republicans need is this kind of approach. Start talking to all of these people Romney ignores and alienates, make the case as to why your ideas are better for them. Don't just use Reagan's old welfare queen hinted racism to secure the white male vote and count your majority to win elections. The demographics of the country have shifted and will continue to do so. The old tricks won't work.

Re: Romney says Obama won by showering black, Latino & young voters with big gifts.
Romney stuck his foot in his mouth? What a shocker!
I'm not surprised when you consider he said these things during a conference call with people who had given him millions of dollars to defeat Obama. These are donors the next Republican candidate is going to need to pony up again. I don't think they would be placated if he simply said "hey, I fukced up".

its just unbelievable to me how often Republicans are going to spin 'welfare', 'socialism', and now 'gifts'. even after they lost and the election is over they still try to spin it like its something new and so awful, when its the same exact thing as promising rich people they won't have to pay higher taxes, or big business to be deregulated. those are 'gifts' too.
its just constantly so dumb with the way they distort and spin the same shit over and over again :facepalm

Re: Romney says Obama won by showering black, Latino & young voters with big gifts.
One things that clear is that Obama's terrible immigration law was a political move to get more votes....and it worked, sadly. Obama never should have been a serious presidential candidate in the first place 4 years ago, the guy did not have the credentials. Now, 4 years later, it's complete domestic and foreign failure, yet the majority want 4 more years like the last? Amazingly, the TERRIBLE economy wasn't as big of an issue as it should have been for voters. 4 years later, it's still all blame Bush, absolutely no accountability. And of course, with the Benghazi situation, Obama dodges the criticism he rightfully deserved because for some reason, the media still likes him. The guy is in WAY over his head, and a product of hype, but at least he's a good magician. Distracts people with his mouth so they're not looking at what he's doing with his hands.
