Lets say I accept that premise of admittance was caused by Affirmative Action Roland00 Send a noteboard - 18/09/2012 05:33:13 PM
That he got into Columbia and Harvard due to Affirmative Action (I do not believe this but I am pretending I do for the purpose of this premise.)

Would Affirmative Action also be the reason Obama graduated from Harvard Law Magma Cum Laude? Would Affirmative Action also cause him to be voted as president of the Harvard Law Review? Would Affirmative Action cause the University of Chicago (a "conservative school";) to hire him as a professor to teach constitutional law?

If so affirmative action that is some powerful stuff.

You would be surprised how well that does NOT work. Joel - 18/09/2012 03:13:23 PM 476 Views
Well, that's not exactly the point, and I think you know it. nossy - 18/09/2012 05:24:48 PM 471 Views

Even granting the first part, extending unemployment insurance 6 months=/=4 years of 8% unemployment Joel - 19/09/2012 12:06:15 AM 538 Views

That first sentence is too long: "If it wasn't due to the safety net George Romney would not lived" Joel - 18/09/2012 10:00:12 PM 494 Views

I don't recall him (or any other Republican) advocating a revocation of assistance. Tom - 18/09/2012 11:02:08 PM 482 Views
WE ARE THE 47 PERCENT! moondog - 18/09/2012 03:07:09 PM 469 Views
It's valid to argue about the number (and everyone is), but Romney's basic point is valid. Tom - 18/09/2012 10:59:48 PM 469 Views
I guess his is perhaps a true "politically incorrect" comment (much as I hate that phrase)? Larry - 19/09/2012 12:05:48 AM 442 Views
I really don't think he was talking about a situation like that. Tom - 19/09/2012 02:39:15 AM 468 Views
I don't know that it really hurts him that bad. everynametaken - 19/09/2012 12:55:36 AM 491 Views
If it plays okay in Ohio, Virginia and Iowa then you're right. Tom - 19/09/2012 02:40:45 AM 452 Views
