I know, and am related to, a lot of people who vote repiglican and of all the stuff they say and post online never do they sing the praises of Romney. They dont even mention that he's running. I've seen a lot of "Anybody but Obama" shit to which I reply, "you mean you support Romney the Billionaire?". They just brush it aside and counter with some bs character attack on Obama.
The repukes dont like Romney, they'll just vote against Obama. You wanna talk about an enthusiasm gap, how about the candidate getting 75%+ of the votes he'll receive from people who dont even like him. His negatives are in the 50%'s while Obama's positives are above 50%.
Anybody but Obama...good one. They cant even stand to say his name

(36,281 posts)One of the nicest benefits of being a liberal professor at a VERY liberal campus in one of the MOST liberal towns in America-- Arcata, California-- is that I'm not sure I even know any republicans, personally. I mean, my family members back east, but I don't talk to them once a decade, let alone every day.

(31,849 posts)that I have heard were from Democrats; but that was before the gop primary.
I recall (and am now embarrassed to admit) posting to my my local rag's on-line comment board that I believed that (with the exception of Huntsman) I could live with a romney presidency because based on his governorship (pro-choice/gun control rhetoric and romneycare), I believed he would to the least amount of damage to the economy.
I STAND CORRECTED ... and thoroughly rebuked.

(5,158 posts)is what I get from my Obama-hating friends and family. They can't stand Romney, but they'll vote for a magic underwear wearing cult member before they would a so-called "Kenyan-born Muslim socialist". It's quite sad, really. They really need to stop watching Faux News, and stop listening to Rush. Listen to people like Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, and Lawrence O'Donnell -- and they might learn a thing or two.
