    I know. I'm shocked network news actually did their job for once too.

    And Conservatives have now hijacked the thread with their typical racist rhetoric.

    Lol.

    Everything you just stated basically describes your average GOP voter.

    There's a hilarious video on YouTube of a bunch of Romney voters talking, and they make the "Obama phone" lady seem like a rocket scientist in comparison.

    Yeah, you're kinda s- outta luck, aren't you? Do you need some music from a tiny violin?

    Btw, the best way to unstack the deck would be to align your views with American views. This is America, remember? It isn't rural S. Carolina and it isn't the 1850s.

    Put yourself in their position; why would you vote for someone who's goal is to take away your job? or take away assistance that helps you put food on your table? Unless the person is into self abuse, they'd be crazy to vote for any candidate pledging to eliminate their job/assistance

    Pretty damn sad that the new American view is lifetime government dependence

    The angry white males need to go to Sweden, a white man's country. They will take care of you.

    How so? Can you point to one thriving, successful country in the entire world that isn't primarily white? Is it just a worldwide coincidence?

    Well, they really don't have anything left here.

    I mean when even FOX doesn't blame the Democrats (entirely, they try to get by with saying, 'it was both' largely because the Dems were still in their seats) then really you have nothing but your standard bigotry to fall back on.

    Won't work. You welfare-receiving libs will follow us where we go. I mean, who would support you when we're gone?

    Wait... You can't think of one non-white country that is thriving or successful?

    Yep, that was the narrative, even in foreign media. The BBC always laid the blame squarely on the Tea Party and the GOP as well.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

    When a conservative says "we need to take our country back", they mean "we need to take our country back from the evil black man in the White House". Their anger has everything to do with race.

    It is all about your view. You are wrong and will always be in the minority.

    Isn't the Union of South Africa doing fairly well?

    OTOH I do know of one white dominated country that has recently had its bonds downrated and only narrowly avoided defaulting on its loans. They even had an actual government shutdown and wouldn't pay their employees. Even SYRIA pays it employees, and they're in a CIVIL WAR.

    The above might have some merit if it were true, but the fact of the matter is the GOP was responsible for the shutdown and most Americans did not need the media to tell them that to know where the blame belonged. So make excuses and stomp your feet while yelling "Unfair", the Cons (or at least some of them) got accomplished exactly what they set out to do, whining that it was unfair is pure BS.

    It is only a coincidence in your head, reality has proven far different, welcome back to Earth.
