All politicians are spankers. Doesn't mean democracy doesn't work.
Most dictarors are also spankers, except their mistakes aren't made public. You'd probably think a lot higher of your leaders if the president had the power to imprison his ministers at will.

I think we'd be better off mocking Romney's atrocious stances on social and economic issues than mocking his staff's inability to spell.
Focus on the important stuff.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

And forgot the Republicans STILL oppose the voting rights act.
Accidental omissions I'm sure
Perhaps because Eisenhower was the power behind and presented to Congress the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960, Acts that LBJ was responsible for removing much of the original content from through political maneuvering. Content contained in the later 1967 CRA. He also declared racial discrimination a national security issue and used federal troops to integrate public schools. Nixon (you know that other guy's VP) enacted the first Affimitive Action plan and supported the Equal Rights Amendment, like every other mainstream Republican for 40 years, including that Ike guy who really thought it was a great idea.
The Voting Rights Act? I suppose you mean the Republicans who voted more emphatically for it than the Democrats:
Senate: 77–19
No, not an accidental omission at all. The Parties were different back then, The Republicans were the ardent supporters of liberalism and civil rights.

I really should have known a thread about a silly little mistake from the Romney camp would have devolved almost immediately into petty little partisan digs, and yet I read the thread anyway.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another.

Meh, the difference between a libertarian and a socialist doesn't matter. Both are equally bad and not mutually exclusive. besides, he can't be libertarian, he's trying to impose sanctions on big business.

He didn't say libertarian, he said black liberation theory Christian. It's basically a Christian group that concerns itself primarily with oppression, and within that primarily on racial oppression. Basically, AustonT, along with most of the Republican punditland, is trying to go back to the Rev Wright nonsense.
It was a nasty piece of campaigning in 2008, though it did, depressingly enough, work somewhat in rallying the Republican base, because it worked on the fear of what a black man might be like in office. Trying the same thing now isn't just nasty, it's stupid. It's stupid because there is no unknown, Obama is in office and has attempted no plan at all to start oppressing white people. It relies on people voluntarily pretending the last four years haven't happened.
The remarkable thing is that so many loyal Republicans are willing to do just that in order to keep making noise about this stupid non-issue.
