Hey ZEB. When I brought up investments I was talking about his blind investment portfolio which obviously wasn’t blind at all.

Why don’t you tell us all about that, every detail as you know it. Then we can all be as informed as you think you are.

You can also tell us all exactly how Mitt Romney dodged the draft? And then you can tell us how Bill Clinton did it. And while you’re at it tell us all about Obama’s past because no one seems to know very much about it. And I think that’s rather odd don’t you?

I am not claiming that the health care in Mass was something that I would prefer. But then I don’t live in that liberal of a state. The people in Mass wanted it and Romney gave it to them. He’s a politician and he was leading a group of more liberal voters. And as I’ve already told you there was no penalty if you didn’t sign up. Obama’s version is far, far worse with fines and jail time if you don’t participate. And as I’ve already told you about 67% of America is against Obamacare. There are other differences as well.

I’m surprised that you would bring this up because the debt has increased more under Obama in 3 1/2 years than during Bush’s 8 years in office.

Here you go take a look at the chart.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57400369-503544/national-debt-has-increased-more-under-obama-than-under-bush/

Obama is a disaster. Him self said that the Bush debt was “unpatriotic.” If that’s the case Obama should be tried for treason!

You mean the war that John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi and top democrats on the armed services committee signed off on? That war?

And why are you bothering to mention Bush? He’s not running for President? Obama is running for President I have not seen one word of defense for his horrible 3 1/2 years in office. Why are you not bragging about how he’s lowered unemployment? It’s higher now than when your favorite punching bag, Bush was in office. Why are you not bragging about he’s lowered the debt? It’s higher now than when Bush was in office. Why are you not bragging about how he’s closed Gitmo as promised? Because he’s not done any of these things. I gave you a nice long list of his broken promises how come no comment on them? Are you proud of his record? Doesn’t sound like it. When someone starts slamming Bush who has been out of office since 08’ I know that they cannot defend Obama. Very transparent!

I thought it odd that you would attack Bush, but sure I’d much rather have him as President than the failure that currently holds down the job. As for Romney, I’ve talked about his resume many times on T Nation, double major at Harvard, business and law advanced degrees (By the way did you figure out how Obama could afford Harvard yet? Or why Harvard has hidden his grades? Let me know when you crack those two). Romney saved the Olympics which was under water, he made a pile of money in business (A good thing for those of us who admire success). And he was a governor. I don’t see a problem in giving him a chance at the White House. He’s well qualified and has vast executive experience. And that’s something lacking in the three worst Presidents of the modern era, LBJ, Jimmy Carter and now Obama, none had executive experience.

Simple, Obama has failed let’s give someone else a chance. If he can’t do it then we can boot him out as well. Why stick with a proven failure?

Why because Obama has made the dollar strong? LOL PULEEEEZE![/quote]

Nice little trick there trying to turn the stock manipulation into a good thing, you play like a politician yourself :)[/quote]

You said that he was against that rule but plays it anyway. Isn’t that his repsonibility to follow the rules? How am I trying to trick you?

Y[quote]ou will see :slight_smile: I don’t like your source buddy, and I’m quick to see how you like to spin, that’s cool if you need to do such to convince yourself. The chart has manipulated statistics by the way, fails to mention anything that Obama put forth that increased spending and failed to account for the two wars and the prescription drug plan already in place belong to Bush and not Obama. How about this? I’ll sign up for a phone plan that costs a trillion dollars a year for ten years, only I’ll only have the phone for 2 years after which point you get to take it over, and then I can turn around and say that you are responsible for 8 trillion dollars of debt. Right.[/quote]

Why do you think everything is a trick that doesn’t line up with your hero Obama? You can go to any web site you like Obama has raised the debt 5 Trillion in 3 1/2 years which is double what Bush did in 8 years. That is a fact. You don’t like it? Neither do I!

I accurately pointed out that many fine and even great Presidents never served in the military. And that Romney not serving is not a disqualification for the office. Simple.

[quote]But really, enough with the sophistry charade. If people actually buy what you have to say, they deserve the consequences.

[/quote]

That is actually funny coming from a liberal. You are the guys that had tears in your eyes and a chill up your leg when Obama spoke. four years later after your guy made things worse you are trying to blame Bush for Obama’s failure. I’d say that pretty much sums up the miserable four years that Obama has given you.

Where is the hope and change that you fell for?

What happened?

I WANT YOU TO DEFEND OBAMA’S RECORD AND STOP THE CHICANERY!

But…you can’t do it as it is indefensible.

Now post back something about George Bush…(eye roll)[/quote]

You act as if I’m not critical of Obama. The fact is I’m critical of both guys. Your little dance about draft dodging shows how far you will go to defend YOUR step in hero who can’t seem to do anything wrong.[/quote]

No, the fact is you try to blame George Bush for Obama’s failures. I addressed your idiocy about the draft by giving you some facts about the many, many Presidents who sidestepped the military and were good Presidents.

Nothing skewed about any of the information that I gave you.

Fact: Obama has raised the debt more in three years (to 5 Trillion) than Bush did in 8 years.

Fact: Unemployment is higher under Obama than under Bush.

Fact: There are more people on food stamps now than under Bush.

Fact: Gas Prices are much higher under Obama than under Bush.

I could go on and list at least 15 more things that are factual regarding your hero Barack Obama
. Bringing up Bush only makes Obama looks worse. Obama owns this mess, not Bush. His lies of hope and change got him elected. But now he has to blame Bush to try to get reelected. He’s fallen pretty far hasn’t he?

We addressed this before. We were attacked on our shores in 2001, did you forget about that? We went after the Tali Ban and Elqida in Afghanistan that was legitimate. As for the Iraq war I was against it, but the armed services committee made up of mostly democrats voted for the Iraq war, so don’t blame just Bush on that one.

The things I posted above have nothing to do with statistics so save it. They are facts! Look them up! Get your head out of Obama’s butt (that can’t be comfortable with the main stream media up there as well) and look for yourself, the guy has been a resounding failure as President!

I consider you no more than a left wing hack for even bringing George Bush up to defend Obama. Here is your argument:

Me: Obama is a failure look at all the things he’s done wrong.

You and your ilk: "Oh yeah well Bush was even worse!

What the hell kind of argument is that even if it were true? Bush is not up for reelection, he already got elected twice. Obama is the one who is up for reelection. You should be bragging about his great record!

Now list all of the things that Obama did over the past four years that would indicate that he deserves to be reelected. And if you can’t do that then you lost the argument it’s pretty simple isn’t it? Don’t mention Bush, Congress, or the little engine that could, just tell us all about Obama’s wonderful record! If you can’t do that don’t respond just go away and lick your wounds like the other liberals who bought into the hope and change lie!

Simple.

[/quote]

Bush was worse! To say otherwise shows how oblivious you are to the historical fact that he sent people to Iraq based on some bull. He isn’t the only one responsible, but he was the most responsible. Not only is he responsible for the deaths of some of my peers, he is also responsible for the deaths of the many civilian casualties. If you want to play a game and equivocate dollars to lives, go ahead, that’s not a game I play. At the end of the day, Obama didn’t send men to war in absolute, and utter folly. This alone makes him pretty awful as a leader in general. U.S. Presidents are usually held to a high standard, this guy didn’t know his binghole from his elbow.

Do I need to point out who’s watch it was when Bin Laden was taken out? Do I need to point out that Romney is on record saying the endeavor was a waste of time? You want a youtube link or something? As for my case against Romney, he isn’t someone who represents me in the least. I come from a family with a workman and military tradition. My generation is the first in my extended family to receive a college education and finish it.

If you want to put words in my mouth, you should do so more carefully. I wasn’t a fan of Obama from the start. I wasn’t for the bailouts (in fact I still have a problem with them fundamentally when big business and banks personhood/rights trump those of actual people), I’m not for big government which your other hero Bush seemed to like regardless of what he was on record saying.

If you want to understand my position, I’ll explain it. You may be surprised.

One more post by you and two or three slams against Bush yet the only argument you can muster for a pro Obama stance is that he took out Bin Laden? Yeah…that was a good thing.

And that was the only good thing that he did, is that what you’re trying to tell me?

Now try again to write a post without mentioning Bush I already scolded you on that. Bush is NOT the candidate. Obama IS the candidate. Why should anyone vote for Obama? The only good thing you’ve said about Obama is that he’s taken out Bin Laden.

This is not about Bush look at the top of the thread, “Thoughts About Obama.” Now try one more time why should people vote for Obama?

Not really, corporations are a means to an end. getting your point of view out is one of them.

If you could point to another way how non unions and non government entities could do that which would not be essentially a corporation, go ahead.

The original intent of corporate personhood was to offer corporations, like the railroad protection so that certain counties would offer them the same price as civilians for the purpose of purchasing land. Without the protections, sellers would be allowed to charge the railroad whatever they wished.

Corporate personhood was put in place to protect businesses from being victimized, it wasn’t put in place so they could have, “free speech” in terms of political donations.

The way things are now, it’s pretty clear that prior to going for people’s votes, politicians need donations. Temporally politicians need to appease corporations before they can even have the money needed to campaign, and win the vote of the people. This means that for virtually all politicians, when weighing the priority between the vote of the people, and the want’s of the corporations, the corporations come first. Unless you have billions to blow, corporations necessarily come first.

I’d like to see the freedom of speech of corporations removed, but the protections of purchase in tact as it was intended.

And if I took a joke wrong, my bad. Humor doesn’t translate that well on text all the time. :slight_smile: Cheers!

Who, other than a socialist, would even question the legitimacy of the corporation? An institution that has been around since the founding of our nation.

Also, if you are going to steal the talking points of lunatic left wing nut balls you should fully understand what you are saying. You are obviously clueless based on your reaction to various comments made regarding your stance on corporations.

By the way I’m still waiting for your lengthy post about all of Obama’s achievements and why anyone should vote for him again. And that post should not mention George Bush (eye roll).

The problem I pointed goes beyond party lines. It’s a problem with U.S. Politics period.

And, next time you run into an Iraq vet, ask him or her if they feel it was necessary for their peers to be killed given the reason we went there. If you can honestly justify it, then all good. I can’t find it in me to forgive for that sort of thing, for a long time I made excuses to justify the deaths of my friends. Hope that clears up my position on Bush.

He is the thing, the people that are being “ignored” are, in part, to blame. They purchase things from the corps…

People like to complain about Wal-Mart, as they stand in line to buy cheap shit.

Vote with your $ just as much as your voice.

I don’t even see what the alternative could be. I mean, I’m baffled.[/quote]

Come on, that is easy.

State ownership of the means of production, there, this is your alternative.

Haha, I say something and look at the reactions. I’m by default now an occupy person or a socialist.

You guys are a pretty low group of people. [/quote]

Who, other than a socialist, would even question the legitimacy of the corporation? An institution that has been around since the founding of our nation.

Also, if you are going to steal the talking points of lunatic left wing nut balls you should fully understand what you are saying. You are obviously clueless based on your reaction to various comments made regarding your stance on corporations.

By the way I’m still waiting for your lengthy post about all of Obama’s achievements and why anyone should vote for him again. And that post should not mention George Bush (eye roll).

The problem I pointed goes beyond party lines. It’s a problem with U.S. Politics period.

And, next time you run into an Iraq vet, ask him or her if they feel it was necessary for their peers to be killed given the reason we went there. If you can honestly justify it, then all good. I can’t find it in me to forgive for that sort of thing, for a long time I made excuses to justify the deaths of my friends. Hope that clears up my position on Bush.

Yes, you have cleared things up nicely. It’s perfectly clear to me now that you are unable to defend Obama’s horrible record as President. And you are also unable to put together a political post regarding Obama without mentioning George Bush. You are apparently one of the lunatic left that is suffering from “Bush mania” a disease which does not allow you to think clearly or to defend Obama without blaming Bush.

Thanks for clearing that up Bub!

The way I see it, it’s 2004 all over again. Just a choice between two people neither of which seem good. So it’s not about how great Obama is. It’s about how much worse the other candidate is from the incumbent and vice versa.

The roles have changed though. This time, the republican is the one who’s awkward and doesn’t connect with people. It was Kerry last time.

The way things are now, it’s pretty clear that prior to going for people’s votes, politicians need donations. Temporally politicians need to appease corporations before they can even have the money needed to campaign, and win the vote of the people. This means that for virtually all politicians, when weighing the priority between the vote of the people, and the want’s of the corporations, the corporations come first. Unless you have billions to blow, corporations necessarily come first. [/quote]

He is the thing, the people that are being “ignored” are, in part, to blame. They purchase things from the corps…

People like to complain about Wal-Mart, as they stand in line to buy cheap shit.

Vote with your $ just as much as your voice.

Great points, Fletch.

I think that there is something “wrong”? when a large number of those who Vote don’t end up voting “for” somebody but “against” another.

I think that the 2012 Presidential Election will be a great example of what I feel is a terrible trend.

If you were to go back in political history you will find that this is always the way it’s been. By the time the election rolls around so much damage has been done to each candidate that they are basically damaged goods.

For example, if I told you that a man was running for President who was fairly middle of the road had been super successful in business a double graduate of both Harvard law and business, was a former Governor and also was responsible for saving the Olympics you’d be all over that candidate claiming that he was the kind of guy we need to lead the nation. But after Rick Santorum and the Obama political machine got done with him you’d think Mitt Romney was a some stumble bum with an IQ of 15. But in reality he’s a great candidate with more qualifications to become President than any man in recent history. And far, far more qualified than the two year Senator (and community organizer) Obama before he rose to the office.

In short, we all drink in what we see and hear on a daily basis and no one, not even Saint Obama gets out of it without being tarnished.

It’s always been that way and it will continue to be that way in a free society!
