Please remember most Americans have the attention span of a teetsie fly! Have no idea what history tells us.
 
It's not about them, it's about the benefits and advantages YOU will get with a Democrat Congress.

that makes no sense

dems hike taxes

try to ban guns

give unions and parasitic plaintiff attorneys more power and more money taken from others

bad judges and justices
 
It may have been Jon Stewart that used the chess analogy. I know Stewart used a Jedi analogy as well which I thought was appropriate. He could be playing Jedi mind tricks on Boehner and company. :)

stewart is more smarmy than smart. His cyber slurpage of Obama is funny but Obama isn't the most brilliant guy to be president. Clinton and Bush I and Nixon rank ahead of Obama in the brains department

And on the right you get big defense contractors, big military, expansive wars, less civil liberties, and bad judges.

1) I don't so I don't know what you are braying about

2) big defense is a constitutionally sound concept-welfare socialism is not

3) less civil liberties? who wants government control of talk radio via "the fairness doctrine"

4) who wants to restrict gun ownership?

5) why did CLINTON want what became the PATRIOT ACT

6) so you think Kagan was more qualified to be on the Supreme Court than Alito? that Quotamayor more qualified than Roberts? LOL

7) expensive wars-Like Vietnam and Korea? who started those-remind me-who attacked us to start those wars? and why isn't your master Obama getting us out of the wars?
 
3) less civil liberties? who wants government control of talk radio via "the fairness doctrine"

Who wants to legislate from the bible? And the fairness doctrine was used to try to kill public radio

I don't-I guess being a newbie you haven't figured out that I have no use for bible thumper driven legislation. you might do some research on who is pushing for the resurrection of the fairness doctrine. its not the republican right

and since we are talking about restraining free speech , do some research on lefties preventing conservative speakers from speaking or lefties destroying RW college newspapers vs the opposite
 
Obama is a failure onevery level and if you vote for him you are admitting you are unable to think yourself and passed the Party and look at what is good for America and Americans.

Lawyers are much worse than unions, and most are republicans.

Just sayin'.

Not! He is the only one that has managed to make congress take health care for all serious and he helped get the #1 on our Top Most Wanted Terrorist List. I am not feeling the fail.

Kali will you admit that the key thing he did with health care was to create a new entitlement for those currently uninsured. The bill as passed may make relatively minor gains in controlling costs, but nothing like the cost savings we need for the new program as well as existing Medicare and Medicade to be sustainable long term.

He has done some good things, although I admit I never thought killing one terrorist ( while a great thing) is something to give kudos to any president, whether Bush did it or as it turns out it happened under Obama's watch.

In my view the deficit and debt which has skyrocketed because of the recession and a long string of missteps for many years now takes center stage for whomever wants to be President for the next 4 years. It will not be good enough to slam one sides suggestions. If for example the Ryan plan has problems ( which I agree it does) it isn't good enough to say that bill stinks and then go talk about something else. I had a rule at work, when someone objected to an idea from someone they had to propose an alternative. We deserve a real debate on the issues. America is in too much of a financial mess to have another election which is nothing more than a beauty contest.
 
22-1. Spud is the only person voting 'No' who labels himself a liberal.

spud doesn't count. He always votes the opposite of what he would. It's his way.
 
the only way I'll vote repub is if they put up someone who doesn't promote forced social conservative values.

i love me some spud.

someone has to try and restore peace and justice to the galaxy.

It'll be a frosty day in the tropics when that happens, but Spud just might be the tuber to do it!

Many are worse but you are wrong about the political bent. look at how much money the ABA doles out and to who

many civil defense attorneys are not GOP-they realize that the existence of plaintiff's attorneys butter their bread too. You also might look into who gave what to whom in the last election cycles. Having Catawba thank you on a post to me is usually proof I am correct:mrgreen:

1) it was a joke

2) there are many more lawyers than just civil defense lawyers

3) money donated is not a measure of relative number of people
 
No doubt about it, Obama's my man!!

^^ good for sig line. :mrgreen:
 
I voted yes, but with the obvious caveat that this assumes that the republicans don't find some one I would actually like. None of the front running republican candidates would get my vote, so Obama.

What are the qualities/promises of a republican that you would need to hear to cast your vote not for Obama?
 
While Obama sometimes needs to be more assertive on issues, I feel that he's been trying to be bipartisan, especially in the beginning of his presidency and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I do feel that the republican party has limited him, attacking every move he makes. He has good ideas that are constantly being attacked when the other options offered by republicans are simply not as good in many issues.
 
Someone in the media has been saying he's playing chess, while the rest of us are playing checkers.

Obama still has a lot to learn about politics and Congress where only checkers, marbles, tic tac toe, mumbly peg, and rock, paper, scissors are played.

At this point, probably, but I won't make up my mind for certain until much closer to the election.
