Carlos Gutierrez, Mitt Romney Adviser: Latinos 'Were Scared' (VIDEO)

When you run on Obama and Democrats being "the lesser of two evils", you don't get to claim you have a mandate for your policies.  

When you win the women's vote by 38%, I think it's fair to assume that Republicans' reproductive policies scared women.  With Latinos and the youth vote, it has less to do with immigration policies and more to do with rich white people prospering off the sweat and labor of the People.  

In the debates, Obama admitted he agreed with Romney on:

1. Social Security.


2. Corporate Taxes. 
 Both said they will cut corporate taxes further.  As though corporations are suffering from high taxes and low profits, and there is plenty of money at the state and local levels.

3. Bowles-Simpson. 
Obama said he is going to push for Bowles-Simpson. And Romney praised Bowles-Simpson a few times. Imagine, a Democrat is going to push for this plan to undermine the social safety net on those who can least afford it, while further reducing taxes for the top income earners, who are already sitting on piles (and growing piles) of money, whilenot creating jobs.  A Democrat.

Obama has the same type of economic plan as the Republicans on the radical right; they just differ slightly in degrees. Both will strangle us, one slightly slower than the other.

Both are out to radically restructure the progressive state that has been developed since FDR: undermine and curtail the social safety net, while restructuring taxes further in favor of the top income earners (proposed by Bowles-Simpson, which Obama said he will push for). This is further redistributing income upwards, in favor of the top income earners. Reckless and irresponsible and unconscionable. But the only ones to call Obama out on it are those of us on the left, who refuse to go quietly into that good night.
