Stacey Dash (she's like a movie star or something) endorsed Mitt Romney in a tweet, and she got all this hate. Do you think that hate was from Republicans?  hmm

Who is that?
Whoever she is, I seriously doubt the hate was for her race.

Why do you doubt that? Pfft. I don't. They were calling her names that I cannot put here, and they involve race.  hmm

If you want to get on the subject of calling names, remember Rush Limbaugh and his reaction to the woman who was for contraception? He called her a --- and a ---. It got worse from there.
He used about 20 different words I can't repeat here for that.

no one actually said that
everyone can be racist
however republicans tend to be more in favour of non change and democrats more progressive in general
for example obama supports gay marriage
romney doesn't

Yes, I can read. I kind of gathered she was a movie star, I just didn't know anything else.

Re: United States 2012 Presidential Election

Wait....tranny....
'Progressive' is a term that could mean many things. The way I see 'progressive' is, currently, moving forward with our country by getting it out of debt. It seems that 'progressive' for you means getting laws passed for movements of the new world.

I'm not saying that no new ideas are good and that we should be the same as we were back when President Washington was in service. It's just that, IMHO, being progressive doesn't mean gay marriage should be accepted. That's not going to save our country from being in debt, for example.

The economy is low and we need to stop that. We also need a figurehead to take charge and make decisions that will better serve the country that we call home.

It might not get us out of debt, but that's not all progression is about. Because tbh not allowing gay marriage is sexist, to both sexes. It means that what * you happened to be determines who you can or cannot marry.

The term "progressive" generally means socially progressive, like on the subject of Marriage Equality.

Just look up figurehead, it doesn't mean what you think.
Noun. A nominal leader or head without any actual power.
Also, more things concern Americans than just the economy.

Re: United States 2012 Presidential Election

As I said, that was just an example.
And yeah, perhaps figurehead isn't the greatest word to describe the president. It's close, but not entirely true.

Daily Kos: The Chronicles of Mitt wrote:

Hello, human diary. It is I again, Mitt Romney, your better.
These commoners continue to confound me. Of all the things my campaign has focused on over the last few months, now it is firing a large television bird that is gaining the most attention? I have already clearly explained to them that we will need to fire that bird in order to pay for the required tax cuts for job creators, by which I mean myself. If we do not fire large swaths of people, we will not be able to create jobs, and the number of people who will need jobs will be much greater after we have fired them all so it make sense to fire as many of them as possible in order to create those jobs.

Wealthy Americans have no use for improperly tall television birds. I have watched that show before, and found it boring, pedantic and entirely implausible. Why do these obviously lower class residents not simply eat the large bird? Why are unidentifiable creatures allowed to live in garbage cans—is there no law enforcement at all, in America? And C should not be for Cookie. C should be for Capitalism, or perhaps for Credit Default Swaps. At the least we ought to be teaching these irritatingly perky little urchins about proper wealth management techniques.

My apologies, Mr. Diary, I am just reminded of how misguided these commoner units are. In better news, my post-debate experiment in forgoing all sleep continues. So far everything seems to be going smoothly.

Also "improperly tall television birds" is hilarious.

Re: United States 2012 Presidential Election

I think legalizing gay marriage is a decision that "will better serve the country we call home."

"Progressive" is, politically, referring to socially progressive ideas.

It's prejudice?
