    Not saying it doesn't exist on both sides, but clearly is used to further a more hidden agenda. But why else would my right wing brothers justify the lies that Romney is pushing? All these freaking threads we have discussed, and none of them has bothered to read the freaking website their candidate presents or question any of it.

    That's my point.
    No one argues here from the lack of evidence better than you, Tal. Your point is pointless.

    Haha. You are completely over the top. Perhaps, the democratic party is also secretly ran by aliens. I have never heard of this code word business. You sound very paranoid. I recommend wearing a foil hat.

    His point isn't pointless, as I understand it he'd rather discuss facts from the Romney/Ryan plan instead of having constant issues based on stirring up emotions dominate the discussion.

    Over the top? Bwa ha ha, I can back every one of those up.

    "golf"
    "welfare"
    holding down the fort
    "state's rights"
    entitlement society
    "food stamps"
    "founding fathers"
    old-fashioned American values
    "Chicago"

    Odd, but since I just see people, and not their color I should wear a tin foil hat? You should learn quickly Magpie that I don't say much that I can't back up. Give the tinfoil hats to those idiots up there hearing dog whistles.

    And you'd rather defend the straw man which is all his post was. No surprise, you're an expert at building straw men.

    I honestly have no idea what that means. I thought my post was quite straightforward.

    His post was a straw man, you defended it. What's not to understand?

    Dog whistle, that's the one only dogs can hear, so if someone heard a dog whistle it is time to think about your circumstance

    Do you have to be a newt to hear a dog whistle

    You're right. I got lost a couple of pages ago. I don't know what's going on but apparently speechlesstx gets called a racist a lot.

    Its those snarky tea party remarks about what the government should be doing for him and his church and not for people that gets him sounding like one. I mean how do you support corporate welfare for the rich, but deny it for the poor?

    Wow. I vote for you! Seriously, the tea party doesn't represent the majority.

    Speeclesstx, I don't believe I have ever met you... What exactly is it that you have a problem or question about? Are YOU a republican? If not, then are YOU racist? If not, then who cares! Republican or democrat... we are ALL racist to some degree!

    It's easy tal, the poor don't own corporations. Remember it is the Republican position that corporations are people

    Do you have something to back this statement up? I don't believe it for a minute that everyone is racist. I do believe the democratic party has some of the most racist people that exist. They have proven it ever since they lost their fight against continuing slavery.

    When you look at what the democrat party has done and how they regard so many people as beneath them they fit the definition. It speaks for itself.

    Not a single person wants a return to slavery days. But if the above is your staunch worldview then no one can change that I guess. Good luck.

    To a certain degree I said. WE have all done it at one point or another.
