I don't really have anything much against Ron Paul, but would keeping the conspiracy theories down a bit be so hard? He's simply unpopular, no need to invent offensive stories about how everybody is damned retarded unless they support him.
And yes, of course he would be assassinated, just like all the other times that happened
"Nobody is right, but historians are more right than others"
Whatever the decision, just send Obama back to a college lounge. It is embarrassing that a narcissistic opportunist who never had a job, but still managed to write 2 autobiography/Indonesian Dog recipes books, is president of the most powerful country on Earth.

yeah cus mittens isnt the official nominee for the gop yet. RP is big gains in delegates as we speak. while the lamestream media keeps ignoring him, the complacent mitt supporters are not showing up to the conventions to become delegates for Mitt. RP has won several states already, states were he is beating the gop at their own game

I think Obama is a much better leader than Romney would be. I hardly think a free-market man who made his fortune ruthlessly gutting corporations for profit is the man to put in charge 4 years after a colossal economic ripple caused by ruthless billionaires & the lackluster governance that failed to leash them.
Then again, for all I know Romney will become a marxist 3 days after he wins. Then a giraffe on the fourth.

RP just doesnt have enough people voting for him becuase either they dont like his views or they simply dont know who he is.
I just found out about him back in October. Just a couple of months ago a started handing out SuperBrochures about RP, alotta people didnt even know who he was! All they really knew was obama and mitt. the ones that the mainstream and local medias are always blabbering about, idiots.
Obama a better leader? hasnt even been able to get congress to pass a budget in three years.
he thinks there is 57 states!
He is just another puppet, as romney will be if he was to win, which is highly doubted by me.
Obamas admin is nothing but wall street garbage, the same ones that he promised he'd fight against Bernake the fed guy and the sec of treasury geitner are two goldman sachs of guys, c'mon this guy aint no leader, he's a boy doing a mans job.

What percentage of the black population voted for that white guy, Kerry, in 2004? Seems you're reaching here a bit.
I found an exit poll for 2004 where 88% of blacks voted for Kerry. In 2008 it was 96% for Obama from another exit poll. Assuming exit polls are reliable (and I'm sure there is some error there), that's an 8% raise.
Now, there were around 36 million African Americans in 2008, and 34 million in 2004, but we'll round to 35 to make it easy. About 75% of them are of voting age, and about 60% of Americans voted. From that, if we were to assume that the entire increase of 8% were to be because black people just wanted to vote for a black person, which is a mighty assumption to make, that would bring us to the number 1,260,000, which is not "millions" I'm afraid. And, considering the intense unpopularity of the Republican Party at the time, and the various other reasons some blacks could have chosen to vote Democratic over Republican, let's say half of the rise is from "race only" voters. That's less than a million. Certainly not enough to have made a difference in who got elected, Obama won by 8 million votes.
Then there is the fact that quite a few people no doubt voted against him because of his race, maybe even more than those who voted for him because of it.
So I'm afraid you are just pulling stuff out of your butt.
Republicans feel the need to deride Obama and explain away the legitimate reasons he was elected because they're aware the last republican to run the country ran it into the ground. If Obama isnt doing just as poorly (which he isnt) it becomes difficult for conservatives to justify voting Republican. A party that seems increasingly out of touch with even its own base & has decided to run its campaign not on principles or proactive platforms, but instead on "you dont like the other guy & we're not him - Vote Republican!". Thats what the entire Tea Party movement was about. An effort to re-image & reform the Republican Party under a new guise thats "nothing like the last guy, we promise".
Its fine if you dont like Obama. Thats great. I'm sure there are perfectly legitimate reasons not to. Its fine if you disagree with his policies. But he wasnt elected in a "scam". He's not "the worst president ever" as so many internet dwellers seem to think. Nothing he has done has really warranted the backlash he's seen. It seems to me that Republicans look at the backlash Bush saw and have assumed its just part of the game now. It's not, he was just legitimately awful... like, oceans of innocent blood on our hands, awful.
At the worst Obama has been a mediocre president.
