Ron Jeremy posted:I can see reasoning behind most of those choices aside from Romney. I'd love to hear that rationale. Is he stinking rich or Mormon? He was really disappointed/disillusioned by Obama after his first term, and felt that he didn't live up to expectations. So he decided it was time for a change. He is fairly well off, but that had nothing to do with voting for Romney.

Just a reminder of the state of the GOP in YOOL 20-loving-16.  For those outside the South: Although this is reprehensible enough in a vacuum, 'democrat' is frequently used a codification for the n-word down here, so it is extra-bad. McMaster would know this.

Dunno what parts you're from, but where I'm from in SC there was no use of "code words" for replacing the n-word. They just used the n-word. Or thug. "Democrats" were simply the Washington Elite who were trying to ruin America's morals so that their lord Stalin was appeased and Communism Could Reign. EDIT: Also went to a Bernie Rally in Denver this weekend. Smelled like Burt's Bees and weed. Then came home and watched the debate. Made me want to go back to the reasonable political landscape of China.

Edit: /\/\/\ you are underestimating how polarized things are along racial lines LeeMajors posted:Just a reminder of the state of the GOP in YOOL 20-loving-16. To put numbers to it, in South Carolina the democrat electorate is ~70% black Democratic presidential primary electorate will probably be closer to 60% black due to turnout differences, but yeah Heavy political polarization as a stand in for racial split

Honestly, I think he was more upset about the gridlock of the system in general and thought that perhaps Romney might have had a chance of changing that. He was also really pissed about Obama ignoring the recommendations from the Simpson-Bowles commission.

I don't know about fuckin north Georgia but I can tell you in Louisiana 'Democrat' also was an oh so clever way to not say 'black people'. I mean it's evolved into general 'minorities' now that they've caught on to us gays and poo poo but no, for some people 'democrat' does mean 'the blacks'.
