Almost all of my friends are Democrats; all of them voted for Barack Obama in 2008. Ask them these days, as I have, if they plan to vote for Obama this November, and they’ll give you an “Oh shucks” sad smile, look down, look back up with guilty eyes and say “I’m disappointed.” I’m talking about a good number of intelligent, caring, middle-class Democrats who are a soft nudge away from casting their vote for Romney. All they need to know is that they’re not alone.
In 1980, Carter treated Reagan as a ridiculous figure who, among other things, was ignorant of details of nuclear-weapons policy. Reagan cheerfully promised economic growth and asked Democrats, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” In the end, Reagan proved that good-natured conservatism could win by huge margins. But a lot of credit for the win must go to “Democrats for Reagan.”
Here’s an example of a commercial that would win Democratic votes for Mitt Romney: A man, about 40, is sitting in his living room with his wife and kids seated next to him. He looks into the camera and says: “I’ve voted Democratic all my life. In 2008 I voted for Barack Obama. It was a vote I am proud of. I wanted to be part of the generation that voted a black man into the presidency of the United States. It was the right vote for the right reason. But, sadly, it was for the wrong man. “I don’t think this country can survive four more years of Barack Obama as president. I know my family can’t. I lost my job two years ago, and I fear I’m going to lose my house. “Mitt Romney has the business experience to bring back our economy. He has my vote.”

It’s starting to look alot more like 1980
Got to get Obama out . . .that’s the goal. Vote his ass out just like Carter.

Oh please.
Your “intelligent” friends voted for a fraud and non-achiever just because of his race? Our country and issues are ALOT more important than your racist, “racial guilt” What made you think this “black guy” would “unify” this country when his politics has always been far-left?
Good lord what idiots vote.

So what do these democrats think about abortion, gay marriage, illegal immigration, global warming etc?
Voting for Romney isn’t that much of a leap for a Democrat.
> Voting for Romney isn’t that much of a leap for a Democrat.
True in one sense. Trying to vote Obama out can be quite a leap for many Democrats though.
So, are you including the owner of this board in your rant?
FR, the pro-God "purist" site that RINOs love to hate
And I guess you didn't get the memo that this is a CONSERVATIVE board, and not necessarily a Republican board.
Lots of people seem to have forgotten that these days.
Go huddle with your Rats. Y'all deserve each other.
A goodly number of people did exactly that. Millions, probably. Because it seemed to be "the right thing to do"...at the time.
Among them were some of our vaunted "conservative intellectuals" -- e.g., Peggy Noonan, David Brooks, et al.
No, it made so sense. But, then, gooey people rarely make sense.
Advertising such as Della Femina proposes would be highly effective.

Here’s an amazingly simple line from an interview with Guy Sorman, a French economist in this morning’s WSJ: “It’s very rare that a nation chooses decline,”.
Use it in anti-Kenyan commercials. Associate in people’s minds decline with the mulatto clown.
Screw Romney and his puddinhearted moderate purists.

Your bitterness is a curse on this nation, as you won’t even get Ryan in 8 years, like you could if you would forgive.
Millions of voters wanted to be part of the “I voted for the first black president of the US”, and didn't know one damned thing about the man they were voting for other than the color of his skin.
You may not believe it is true, but if you simply dismiss this reality out of hand you aren't aware of the mental makeup of the majority of voters in this country.
While this may not be the best commercial to run, it would undoubtedly strike a chord with millions of voters who simply don't follow politics very closely, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea as it could also turn off several million who will not respond to such a blatant “truism”.
*ducking*
Some days I feel like the one guy at Jonestown who just wasn’t thirsty.
If Democrats in battleground states vote for Romeny that could be significant, but whether this writer has a few Dem friends in New York who might vote for Romney means nothing.
If Dems vote for Romney in places like NY, Mass, and Michigan mean something then Mittens is on his way to a landslide.
Posters on this forum who vow not to vote for Mittens are only significant if they live in battleground states. If you live in New York,Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan or California and vow not to vote for Romney, it matters little in an election decided by the electoral college.
So what do these democrats think about abortion, gay marriage, illegal immigration, global warming etc?

I don’t know; but, unless people are totally committed to their Christian faith, or their moral beliefs, their pocket book is the biggest issue. I was for Santorum in the Primary Season because I am a “values” voter first. Romney was not my 1st, 2nd, 3rd.....7th choice. But, we have to play the hand we’re dealt and pray that a majority in the Senate and House will keep him in check. But, Priority One is getting the Godless Commie out of the White House.
