No, I understand, exactly as I described.  It's like saying, because aboloshing slavery is inherently liberal, ALL BLACKS ARE LIBERAL ARGGH.
Apparently saying that the majority of something is liberal because it exists due to liberalism is the same as saying that all of that something is liberal no exceptions.

And your slavery brown townogy is not good because:
 - The idea of government censorship is still existing. (See wikileaks)
 - The idea of slavery is long gone and a black person need not worry that a conservative president or congress will revert us back to slavery

Some examples of how the orientation of the supporting group usually is reflected by a benefiting group:
 - The Wall Street Journal is right-leaning. Why? Wall Street is right
 - A CEO is against taxes on big business. Why? A big business gives him money
 - The US supported the war in WWII but not late Vietnam. Why? In WWII we were attacked and therefore the country had to fight in order for our freedoms to be protected. At the end of Vietnam we were in there for what seemed to be no reason and America was not threatened by the result of that war.
 - So most newspapers are probably liberal because government interference is always a threat. It is in their best interest to be on the left.

and a surprising amount of people fall for Romneys lies.
Haha you're a real comedian!!

WOW that's a scary lie!! we're doomed!~

I plan to get a high pay job, I want to keep that money for myself, I don't think a cent of it should go to some lazy kaffer who wont get a job.

And where did you get this information? Sounds a bit like the words were changed around, exaggerated, or taken out of context.

Edit 2: Watched the video. Like all politicians, it seemed he exaggerated and sort of twisted around information. Not exactly a lie, but again that's common with politics.

Communism
I thought that communism is when everyone gets the same pay?

hey that's pretty fair right

The Soviet Union failed because the people working really hard got the same pay as people that were unemployed and having really high taxes that make rich people have the same wealth as poorer people is doing just that.


ALSO DICTATORS

There's more to it than that and a fixed pay destroys incentive. So no.

Lowering taxes = More money for small business = Hiring more people and I believe Romney is in the right on the tax plan because he was in the private sector for most of his life and has grown businesses.

I would vote Vermin Supreme but he has 0 chance of winning so my vote would be wasted
