Poll: Voters Viewing Occupy Wall St. Unfavorably

No dodge here, I was merely commenting on how you spoke as though you had to approve of our nominee. However if you want to talk dodge, then why are you not addressing your own presidents failures, instead of just stirring ****?

No, that's your silly reading of the post.

As for my president, as you call him, I have often pointed out he disappoints, that I disagree with a few of his actions, but he isn't what your partisan hacks call him. That hyperbole and dishonest silliness is just that, hyperbolic and dishonest silliness.

But no matter, you still have to produce a alternative that appeals to more than the radical base. A general election involves more than that. This is not hard to understand, but harder to dispute.

As for stirring ****, pot to kettle btw, when someone says it's a done deal, it deserves a rebuttal. The fat lady hasn't sung yet. ;)

Thought the same thing about Bush, and with more cause, but Kerry proved you still have to provide a viable candidate.

Don't be confuse and misread things. Many simply won't consider the fire better than the frying pan. You do have to present a better alternative.

Better alternatives abound. There must be about 200 million Americans who qualify for president and about half of those would be an improvement.

Ok, a bit of an exaggeration, but there have to be 100s of thousands. The entire country cannot have dumbed down much.*

*If Obama is re-elected I will have to withdraw that last statement.

I understand how TX frustrates liberals like you but the results are what they are and refute liberal rhetoric.

Yes, there are better choices. I just don't think they are running, with the possible exception of Paul.

Reminds me of this:

Ah a right wing cherrypicker huh?

If you had bothered to read the rest of this post you would find the following sentence.

"IF the blame game is what you choose play it properly."

Perhaps,the meaning of this sentence is beyond your understanding ,

This sentence means that do not focus all the blame on one political party RIGHT, LEFT OR MODERATE, do not focus all the blame on one particular president wether it is Carter, Reagan, Bush1, or Clinton or GW Bush or Obama.
For all are guilty of slowing the progress of America and the American people.
ALL ARE TO BLAME IN ONE FORM OR THE OTHER.

If you are looking for hypocrisy my freind try the mirror in your home.
I stand by my post do you stands by yours???:peace
 
I also just realized, I'm not sure if it was on this thread, but when Conservative was talking about how the GOP cut taxes in 1997 and that is what created the high amount of tax revenue in 2000, NO! Dot Com bubble created huge unexpected tax revenue from capital gains, you can't blame massive economic booms on simple income tax cuts.

FactCheck.org : The Budget and Deficit Under Clinton

Surplus, happened, deal with it

Like far too many you need to tell the U.S. Treasury that fact then because we paid too much debt service on a deficit that didn't occur. Did you ever think to go to the bank account of the United States instead of factcheck? Are you one of those that don't understand the unified budget and intergovt. holdings?

Thank you.:peace

Tell that to the Treasury Dept. because they disagree with you. Let me remind you public debt PLUS Intergovt. holding debt including SS and Medicare IOU's=TOTAL DEBT and that is what we pay debt service on

Why are you talking about the Democraps and Republi****s in a thread about OWS that opposes them both?

It's not only the OWS that opposes both Republican and Democric party.

A lot of Independents I know including myself are getting damn tired of voteing for the lesser of two evils.:peace

I thank you for your update on the current process of how the current sytem works.
Not much of an update really.
Pretty much the same sytem we had in the 50's 60's 70's 80'sand 90's
We owe debts we pay debts, a capitalist system by a Capitalist government.
I personally don't have a problem with this system.
The American workers have no problem with this system, after all if you draw a paycheck taxes are taken out automaticly, with some money left for the American worker.

However to pay debts one must have a job .. .therein lies the problem, for without jobs American workers have no paycheck, no taxes taken out, no money, without money debts draw interest gets higher and ...WELL, THE SYSTEM GOES OFFTRACK.:peace

It appears you are not alone in that:

Occupy Wall Street Enjoys Higher Approval Ratings Than Either Political Party

"With these approval stats Occupy Wall Street is faring much better in the public eye than the president and both Democrats and Republicans in Congress. Recent polls from mid September—around the time Occupy Wall Street began—showed the president with an approval rating around 40%, Congressional Democrats at 28%, and Congressional Republicans at 19%. Approval for Congress overall hit an all-time low of just 12%.

While the poll of New York City residents on Occupy Wall Street split along party lines with more Democrats supporting the movement than Republicans, 35% of Republicans supported the movement—much better than the national approval rating for Congressional Republicans. "

But as I noted in response to your post #1020 you stated “I couldn't help notice in a previous post you mention 3 YEARS. Was it not 8 YEARS that started this economoc drain, 6 of which was with a Republican administration and a Republican Congress?” Which sure sounds like you are blaming ‘one particular president’ as I saw no other reference to any other.

Looks like hypocrisy to me.

If you are looking for hypocrisy my freind try the mirror in your home.

Please, feel free to point out the hypocrisy you accuse me of but I really don’t want to continue this pissin contest so if you do respond realize I am done.
