My god we are so damn fickle...
4 years ago everybody was like "fuck the republicans. Bush had 8 years and he ran this shit into the ground! we need democrats to really change things" 4 years later "Obama aint done shit. Romney will do what needs to be done" STFU. The power is within the people....but to exercise that power takes work. And the typical response to that is "aw fuck that shit..." Which of course leads us back to the incessant 4 year cycle of bitching and moaning about stuff that didn't get done... |

about the only thing you can do is watch out for yourself. as much as i like to argue politics and hope the masses come to their senses, I know it's a long shot to expect that.
But whatever, I'm doing well and I get a kick out of seeing people get what they rightfully deserve. |

Oh, you mean the guy that cheated on his wife and banged an intern WHILE in office?
Yeah, everyone should trust that guy. The people that keep calling it a "racial" election make me laugh, those are the ones that want it to be. Obama's father being black and Obama himself being bi-racial have nothing to do with why I'm not voting for him. It has everything to do with how he's spending OUR countries money that WE ALREADY DON'T HAVE! We're 16 trillion in debt and you wanna give the Muslim Brotherhood $1 billion? Where the flying fuck is that coming from and why isn't it going to try to fix the nations debt???????????!!!!!!!!!! Forget the fact that the U.S. has typically been allies with Isreal, just throw that out the window and lets start giving money to people that kill Christians. Those of you that put Obama in office to begin with might not recall, but the man said he would cut the national defecit by half during his first term and instead tacked on another $6 trillion . . but go ahead, point the finger at Bush, after all it's his fault OBAMA couldn't keep a promise. |

Here is the thing... I do not blame Bush, I blame stupid neo-cons and stupid ultra conservatives who think people who compromise to fix problems are stupid. How does a Mike Castle get beat in DE? By a looney toon who pretends to be a witch on the weekends but bought into your Beckian/Hannity talking points. That is stupid. How does ole tangerine lose everything he bargained for with the administration in getting the debt limit deal done? because he has to deal with nut bags who think there is a difference between rape and legitimate rape. Whatever this republican party is, it is stupid. You get rid of Michael Steele for Reince Preibus? Yeah, good job on that one too. Seriously... Mitt Romney was not all that bad of a dude when he was Gov of MI, but GOD FORBID if he does not think gay marriage will bring the apocalypse and that women have a constitutionally protected right to choice he is just another dirty RINO. You made the guy go all crazy eyes McCain (post straight talk express - when McCain was pretty awesome) and now your going to keep losing major national races until you figure out how to get back to being normal people again. Good luck! |

The way I see it, if Obama didnt do anything, we would have been the next Soviet Union, if our economy completely tanked. Seriously, what do people think would have happened if he didnt "stimulate" the economy by pumping money into it? Do some people not realize we did the same exact fucking thing after the Great Depression?
Bitching about the money he spent to try to save the economy, how about you bitch about the $3.8T we've wasted on 2 fucking wars? 10 years later, what do we have to show for? Less civil liberties, civil war in Iraq and Afghanistan still influenced by the Taliban... Who should we blame for our economy turning to shit? ALL OF US!!! The US doesnt make anything anymore. All the jobs been shipped off overseas, we turned into a fucking consumer economy. All we've done is import shit to consume but we dont export as much shit as we used to. You want to help the economy? Stop buying shit from china...spend the extra money and buy US made stuff!!! |

US is second in the world for manufacturing, behind China. Most of the shit we produce is aircrafts, generators, semiconductors, tech stuff that goes into other stuff and not retail products so you don't hear a lot about them. And quite frankly it's better for us that our economy is moving away from low skilled manufacturing labor, China can have it. But we do need to improve access to quality education that the Democrats are promoting. |

^^ couldnt have said it any better myself.
I think that the election will go to Obama for another 4 years for a couple of reasons. 1: Womens rights issue has been either skimmed over or bashed by the Republican party for how many months now? And all of a sudden they expect women to vote for them after basically telling them that they dont have the right to choose what they can and cannot not do with thier body 2: Veterans have been covered the entire DNC and they proven that they care about them, hell Obama lowered unemployment rates for veterans from 13.8 i think to around 8% though tax incentives for employers 3: They repbulican party had a chance before they picked Ryan up but now the party is truly as right wing conservative that they could be. Even other republicans are put off by how far to the right they are. Either way its gonna be an interesting election, i'd rather have a president how "hasn't done anything" than one who will royaly fuck us over!!!!! Me and my girl friend are seriously considering moving to Canada if Romney wins, which sucks cause I love this country, and especially fishing for striped bass |

Romney doesnt appeal to me due to conflict of interest. Why would I vote somebody into office who makes a living off finding the loop holes in the financial world and is influenced by the financial world? Wouldnt you wanna kinda ensure you're taken care off when you get done with office?
Dick Cheney is what comes into mind when I think Romney...minus the heart attacks and shooting you in the face deal... |

I think that Romney kinda reminds me of Cheney too but Ryan reminds me even more of Dick. Not just because theyre both Vice Presidents canidates but what they'd like to accomplish. Cheney took the opportunity to turn two wars into a business venture for himself. He privatized the military by allowing private contractors as Black water to fight. Ryan will do the same except in that he will restructure Social Securtiy, Healthcare, etc so that the taxs dollars/savings of seniors will go to the for-profit insurance industry. |

If that's the case, I want my men's rights. You should move to Canada right now because it doesn't matter who wins. Obama can't repeal the laws of economics any more than the Soviets could and they tried to at the point of a gun. |

Well, the constitution is suppose to treat everyone equal... seeing as it was only white men writing it, I think some things got over looked. Like basic biology. But yes, women have rights that are separate from the rights of men. A man will never be pregnant, therefore will never have the right to abort said pregnancy.
Lets also not forget that woman have also been treated less than second class citizens for the majority of our time as a nation. Everyone would agree that it is a right to vote correct? Women did not get that till 1920. AND that took an amendment to the constitution. So, not only did they have to fight for a "god given" constitutional right, but they had to amend the damn thing just to make sure that it was saved specifically for women. Those would probably be the best two examples, but I can go through more if you really need it? You do, its called being a white male. See how many rights you have compared not only to other races, but compared to females. The entire constitution is written by men (arguably only for ((white)) men). Quote:
Which laws of economics? Because the only economic system that works is when everything is blended together. An adherence to any extreme pretty much screws us all. Hard. Real, real, hard. |

I did not mean to qualify you as a white man, only to explain the point that Men do have separate "rights" and white men have (historically) had even more "rights." Like being an anchor on Foxnews, that right is only granted to white men and/or white women. (oooooh snap). |
