Romey appealing to racists? Duh!



So Romney went to the NAACP, the nation's oldest civil rights organization.  He said he was the best president for the African American Community.  Really?  Shit's been hard for everyone since the GOP destroyed the economy, but returning to the policies that got us in this mess in the first place.  Yeah, that's going to help the black community....

Anyway, that's not why I'm writing.  The thing is that no one really believes Romney thinks he's going to pick up black votes here.  No one.  He also went as far to say he was going to repeal 'Obamacare'.  I know virtually everyone is using this term now, on both sides of the aisle, even the president himself, which seems like a conservative victory by choosing the language used.  Romney is a serious candidate (stifles laugh) for president using pundit insults toward the POTUS.  This was one of the biggest achievements for the Obama Administration, which is a point of pride for the black community, so it's not surprising he was booed for this.

With everything above said, not calling it The Affordable Healthcare Act or at least Health Reform, even in the context of repealing it, is insulting the law.  I dislike even people on the left calling it that, because is concedes the argument to conservatives.  Rachel Maddow has done a pretty good job of calling it Health Reform, which is a pretty neutral term. 

Romney pretty much condescending to the NAACP and getting booed will probably make the GOP whack off instantly.  This is pretty much the plan though, he still has trouble with his base after all of his flip flopping on pretty much every subject.

I also urge everyone to use the term flip-flopping when referring to Romney.  The disgusting shit that the GOP pulled in 2004 is reason enough.  Kerry's 'flip-flopping' was based on a lie that the Bush Administration told him and the congress.  Even with the lie being told, I don't agree with Kerry or Hilary's vote for the Iraq War, but with the lies exposed and the WMD's not there, changing his mind on the subject is more than understandable.  2004 was the first election I could vote in.  I started to get into politics that year, but I didn't realize the vitriol thrown at Kerry until I saw Outfoxed and other retrospects on the election.  The man was a war hero and they swift boated him into looking like a POS.  Fox News was mostly responsible for this.  I had a friend at the time that turned me onto that facts about Fox News, I didn't watch the channel at the time, so I didn't know all of the shit that went along with that propaganda outlet. 

So back to Mitt, he'll play this game, but I'm pretty sure he'll lose unless something horrible happens.  He seems to be on the defensive about the Bane stuff (thanks Newt), but anything can happen.
