THIS Democrat is far more Pro-President Obama and his policies; than, anti-romney and his policies.

I strongly favor his economic policies, I support his foreign policies as well.

There are quibbling points that I am less supportive of; but on the whole, I am happy and supportive.

I know that in my family that's what it is. They'll spout all these other "reasons" that they learn verbatim on Fox News, but if you listen to what they say on other issues, they're racists. And this is in the "liberal" north.

I have a friend whose family is the same way. They live 100 miles away from my family, don't know them, and have no contact with them, but they send my friend the exact same talking points I hear from my family -- exact. So, you know there's a single source.

But my friend the other say told me that the biggest reason his family was backing Romney was because Obama is black.

I hear all this racist talk from the R politicians from day 1 after Obama's election. Obstructionism, birtherism, monkeyface and too many other ugly things spouted forth in public and on MSM (Faux News). They think its so imortant that they are risking the downfall of our economy. Wacky Rs!

Let me pose this question. If the unemployment figures hold where they are, (hopefully they come down by November)who does that help...Dems or Rethugs? Who will the swing voters blame?

(BTW. People think I'm nuts because I say there is no such thing as "swing voters" ) Yer either fer us or again us.
