George Will To Romney: "Quit Despising The American People"

GEORGE WILL: Well, you begin where Bobby Jindal was. It's been well said that you have a political problem when the voters don't like you, but you've got a real problem when the voters think you don't like them. And that is -- Mitt Romney was picking up the theme he improvidently put before the country and inadvertently with his 47 percent video during the campaign.

Get back to -- quit despising the American people, particularly because a lot of what they're despising them for are Republican policies. When Mitt Romney said, "So many Americans aren't paying taxes," yeah, because the Republicans doubled the child tax credit for conservative reasons, yes, because they expanded the Earned Income Tax Credit, as Ronald Reagan did, because they thought it was an effective anti-poverty program.

And the Democrats allowed it.

Creationism is an analogy. You are parroting nonsense like a creationist for your religion of liberalism. Poor thing.

No you said exactly that it was anti-minority per se, targeting minorities "statistically". Which parts of the bill targeted minorities anyway? Who was "statistically" prevented from voting?

*Facepalm* How did you even deduce INTENT genius? Even trial lawyers have a hard time proving intent. Turzai's comment refers to preventing voter fraud.

Okay this is silly, the majority were republicans that voted for it, and it was signed into law by a republican governor. I am not a creationist, my discipline is on the opposite end of the spectrum than fairy tales. The GOP did not pass an anti-minority bill per se, but the intentions (whether they failed or were not realistic) were based in suppressing the vote.

Shut the fuck up

[H1TMANactual]

Hmm no more than a few Democrats voted for it. Pull up the bill and see the voting record.

Umm no, YOU are a creationist to me. Awww gullible parrot is so cute!

So let me get this straight: GOP got an anti-minority bill that "statistically" targets minorities through a Democratic legislature, doesn't change the Constitutional requirement of voting on a Tuesday (full day), doesn't infringe on anyone's right to vote, and this masterstroke was so great that they lost PA? Did I miss anything?

[kool2btrue]

The PA billed was enforced by the GOP, even if it was a Democratic legislature, it only needs a few Dems if all republicans vote for it (as it is usually the case). I I would not call a creationist an idiot if I was having an argument with them, I have better things to say than that. But you are to the same level to me, so we are even on that. I made my argument over and over you just don't accept it as legitimate. Again, the GOP had intentions of skewing the elections and stated so.

[H1TMANactual]

Why? Wouldn't you call a creationist spewing stupidity an idiot? You're at the same level from my point of view. Moreover you called me names too, so quit crying crocodile tears about ad homs.

You can't even produce ONE coherent argument. You say PA GOP passed anti-minority bill. But PA legislature is Democratic. So either the bill isn't anit-minority and you are a gullible tool who believed left wing media bs, OR Democrats are racists and wanted to defeat themselves. Which is it? Idiot.

[kool2btrue]

Amusing is how you lack basic understanding skills. "Retardation", I think it is very sad you have to use insults to make your comments the least relevant. The GOP at the state level had the power to do that, not at the federal level.

[H1TMANactual]

Go back and read what? You parroting retardation? Statistically minorities are effected by what? Showing IDs? Voting on a Tuesday like it's Constitutionally mandated? FL still has both early and no-excuse mail in voting. "GOP tried to gain an unfair advantage" by getting a law passed through Democratic legislature? You are still to put together one coherent argument. "Statistically statistically derrr". Amusing.

[kool2btrue]

Ha an idiot, go back and read the conversation. Your best responses are insults. "Statistically" minorities are affected more, I think you missed that. I didn't say non-minorities are not affected as well, but rather at a lesser degree. Again, I do believe it should not stop them from voting. And again, that still takes nothing from the fact the GOP tried to gain an unfair advantage which is what I've stated since the beginning.

[H1TMANactual]

Because obviously all whites are immune from work schedule conflicts. Before parroting MSNBC/Democrat rhetoric, did you ever stop to think what an idiot you sound like? Voting is an inconvenience for everyone. And if you don't want that it's as simple as mailing it in.
