Shall we restate? Republicans are doing everything they can to subvert the election because they know they have a very poor candidate. If they manage to prevent enough women and minorities from voting, if they lie big enough and loud enough and often enough then they may bet a few percentage more white men to vote for them. The GOP's got nothing. This we saw at the first day of the convention. Not even Anne Romney could come up with a fuzzy, heart warming anedote about her husband. All we got was more "trust me" with nothing to back it up.
The only way the right will win is through intimidating voters, subverting voter systems, supressing voter turn out and lying outright.
"We are not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers"
yeah, i can't believe they are going with this strategy.
you'd think the economy was in bad enough shape that they could run on that, but mitt only has a marginal advantage, if at all, on that topic. more people (by 25+ points) say they think obama will do more to help the poor and middle class. more people say they think romney will do more to help the wealthy.
so they've abandoned that. now they are going to run on out of context sound bytes, lies about magical vaginas, lies about welfare, and whatever else might up the white male vote a bit more.
it's gonna get ugly folks.
