The GOP made the mistake of thinking there's more old white people out there with this mindset than there truly are.
Mitt Romney never made anything. He raped companies that were vulnerable and sold off the pieces for whatever he could get, putting people out of work and ruining families/lives. If I would bring this up, my father-in-law would say its some untruth by the "left wing media".
Vulture capitalism by a sociopath is not a pre-requisite for being president. We're SO fucking lucky that spineless, lying sack of shit Romney didn't get the White House. Wall Street would be running wild(er) and we'd be on the verge of -- or in another false war to keep the military industrial complex humming.

I agree with you. He used other peoples money to buy companies, made money by charging huge "consulting fees", and then made more money if the company by chance was bought out. If not, they didn't loose anything - it wasn't their money to loose, and they made money no matter what. Rinse and repeat.
This was the core root of the problem with our economy - The banks couldn't loose. They made money selling houses, and when those people couldn't afford it they took the house back, sold it for even more, and made even more money. Rinse and repeat.
I cannot say that Obama is a better "business wise" - I don't think Obama ever ran a company his entire life. But being President is one thing - It's not only being a businessman. It's so much more than that.
I honestly believe the Republican party threw the last two elections. They knew they had no hope in hell, and their best bet is let the other side run with the ball - and hope the other side drops it. Instead the Republican party just wants to bitch and complain about everything. The Republican party has changed politics forever - Now it will be acceptable for the loosing side to bitch about everything, drag everything out, and do it's best to bring everything to stand still just to make the other side look bad.
The Republican party needs to wow us to take back the white house.
