The guy just sat there, looked at the video for seven hours and didn't move a finger to send help to american soldiers who died for nothing, asking and asking for help -- that's is US president now. Just like Putin did with Russian submarine. Hate these fucking bastards. Romney is a fucking pissant twat for not calling a spade a spade and at least going like a man. Screw them all.Romney did what he could. The problem is with the country. America is now ruled by minorities who have formed a coalition and turned into a majority. Their philosophy differ from the principles this country was founded on. If Obama passes the immigration law in the second term, say good bye to America we knew.

At times i just thought it'd be different if Mitt took off the mittens and spoke from the heart about some things like Libya, not from some consultant political calculus prescription. On the other hand it might not have helped. Half of my rant was alcohol talking. Still it does suck to me that America is not this city upon the hill that i was sold on when i was a kid. Maybe there is no Santa Claus either.

If Obama passes the immigration law in the second term, say good bye to America we knew.The principles this country was founded on? What, if I may ask, were these principles? Did these "minorities" also get the advantages of these amazing principles you speak of? Guys, you're overreacting in a huge way, because of the current economic situation, and perhaps because a "minority" is in power. America is still america, values may change, people may change, status may change, but we're all still american.If your policies are so great, then educate people about them. Play the game. Build and cultivate your own minorities. The republican party (Note that i didn't say conservatives) is in trouble because the country is changing, the world is changing, and they don't want to change.Immigration law? That's the one biggest principle this country was founded on. No immigration = No US.

QuoteOriginally posted by: AnomanderisImmigration law? That's the one biggest principle this country was founded on. No immigration = No US.Actually, no immigration of Germans and English = No US. The US does not exist because people came from Mexico.A great chasm formed, whereupon Mexico did open her gates, and the demons of Hell streamed in. And that is why there is a Mexico today, because they allowed man-demons to swarm the Earth and play mariachi. But the US is not the same, specifically because we were formed by wise men, and neither the demons nor French.

The native Americans who owned this entire country never had any problems in getting along with the Hispanics and the Blacks. It was the White people who put them on reservations and tried to extinguish them.I am sick and tired of hearing all the White people complain about how badly they are getting f*cked. Do you think that the Blacks and the Hispanics are faring better than the Whites? If you don't like it, just go back to Germany and England and give the country back to native Americans. They will be quite happy to live with the Hispanics and the Blacks.If the GOP tries to block the immigration reform, the Hispanics will turn them into a permanent minority. Just remember that in 2016 you are looking at 19% Hispanic vote and 5% unemployment rate.

If GOP want to survive, they have to support legalization of marijuana and amnesty to illegal immigrants.

Just like the 1840's in USA as in the book (not the movie which is historically incorrect) Gangs of New York.BTW USA has alway been a country of minorities so I don't understand your historical perspective and/or assumptions. Mitt Romney belongs to a minority. Reminds me of the quote from Local Hero"My parents were Hungarian immigrants. They took the name MacIntyre 'cause they thought it sounded more American! "
