Holy crap - the media just seems to be ignoring the fact that the republic platform is endorsing Arizona papers laws for the entire country!!!
Republicans: Do you agree with this? And the stance on abortion? And all the things that republicans are doing to keep minority voters away from the polls this year?? If you don't agree with these things, then what do you agree with and why are you voting republican?? |

The unemployment rate is 8.3 percent, gas is $4.00 a gallon and the national debit is approaching 16 trillion dollars. Abortion is black-letter, settled law and you idiots keep worrying about it and other nonsense like Chic Filet while your friends, relatives and neighbors are losing their jobs, businesses and homes to a totally fucked up economy. Four more years of this bullshit and women won't be able to afford abortions. Grow the fuck up and move the fuck on. |

all that use of the word "fuck" has me convinced. Convinced that even though "the unemployment rate is 8.3 percent, gas is $4.00 a gallon and the national debit is approaching 16 trillion dollars", the wingnuts can't control themselves. They HAVE to keep pounding on everything else besides what matters. If you lose, it is because you could not help yourselves. It's the economy stupid, but your platform launches offensives on everything at once. |

I would LOVE to move the fuck on. For reals. The problem is that Republicans keep bringing it up. If they would just let it go and say "Roe is settled law, we will stop trying to restrict the rights of people to make medical decisions concerning their own bodies," then I wouldn't have to worry about this 1930s bullshit, but they won't, so I do. I consider the economy and the national debt to be pressing issues. I also consider my bodily integrity to be a pressing issue. If you want people to move the fuck on, then Republicans need to let it the fuck alone. |

Yes, 00:35 and 9:33 have hit the nail on the head.
0:06, Please help us move the fuck on by lobbying your republican representatives to stop chipping away at abortion rights (even in underhanded ways: "hey! Let's rewrite the regulations of how wide HALLWAYS have to be in abortion clincs cuz then they will all have to close!). I would LOVE to have both parties of government completely and totally focused on the economy. If the government was talking about wanding YOU, you might also find it insulting and demeaning that when you express your concerns about said wanding, being told to "grow up" and that your very real concerns are silly. The only thing more infuriating than your republican attempts to deprive us of our liberty is your repeated attempts to belittle our very real anger and fear by terming your efforts as a "distraction". By all means, deprive us of the distraction. |

| And just a quick P.S. -- If you think the price of gas is going to fall back to $1.50/gal after Romney's election, you really have no business talking about the economy at all. |

Completely agree. |

| Personally, I think a stronger dollar would go a long way to helping with the economy. It would certainly make gas cheaper. Anything about that in the platform? |

| I don't understand why EITHER party isnt addressing the need for GUN CONTROL!! How many mass murders need to happen before we realize that putting multiple weapons and automatic rifles in the hands of nut jobs really needs to be limited!! (I'm not talking about self defense here, I'm talking about common sense controls to protect society!) |

These laws are on the books. We need to enforce them and dish out harsher penalties for those who violate them. I agree with the PP- I wish the party would just hand over the social issues- let Roe stand, let gay marriage move forward, etc. Let's stick with the economy and national security- we win on these issues. |

I don't know that you win on those issues, but I think the debate over those issues would be better for the country. |

Remind me - what is Romney's plan for the economy? Some specifics, please. And not anything from fantasy land, such as "I'm going to lower taxes on the rich, keep defense spending the same (or increase it), and STILL cut the deficit." I'll be happy to discuss it with you, or anyone, as soon as your candidate provided the basis for such a discussion. |

People like you really confuse me. The Repubs are supposed to be all about personal freedom. And instead they are doing all this shit to have Big Brother in your life - Who you marry, do you have your papers, can the govt wand you before a legal medical procedure.... then you get mad when people actually get mad about all the shit you are doing to our freedoms. You should be mad at the Republicans for spending one tenth of one second talking about ANYTHING other than the economy in the last four years. It is unthinkable that with such high unemployment, BO actually stands a very good chance of being reelcted. Why is that so? Because you people won't shut the hell up about "nonsense". Don't blame the press, don't blame the pissed off liberals with their "woe is me the government wants me to bury my fetal remains". Blame republicans and their sick desire to control how everyone else lives their personal lives. |

| Pay No Attention to the Platform behind the Curtain! Really, we don't mean this, and you are silly to care about it even though we are so intent on putting it down in writing. Just focus on the unemployment. Nothin' to see here. |
