Actually, he has accomplished far more than I expected given the historical record number of filibusters by the GOP.

Stopped our decline into another Great Depression.

Ended the GOP war in Iraq that Romney thought should be continued,

Is withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, faster than Romney thinks should happen,

Has ordered cuts in military spending, vs Romney's pledge to increase military spending,

Is honoring our commitment to our seniors who have paid into SS all their lives vs Romney who thinks we should reduce their benefits so we can give even bigger tax cuts to the rich,

Invested more in clean energy than any president in history,

Increased CAFE standards more than any president in history,

and got financial reform passed that Romney has pledged to dismantle,

to name just a few.

Americans will decide this election as it should be. BS by people on this forum are unlikely to change the opinion of over 350 million people.

yeah, great idea...let's cut spending for those who have sacrificed the most in order to give more to those who have done the least

Is honoring our commitment to our seniors who have paid into SS all their lives vs Romney who thinks we should reduce their benefits so we can give even bigger tax cuts to the rich,

I would have thought so too, but I am not so sure now that corporations can make anonymous campaign donations. This is a whole new ballgame! We saw how that new ballgame defeated democracy in Wisconsin. The same could happen with the national elections.

I guess corporate rule sounds good to some until you actually have to live under it, as the people in some countries learned too late.

You do realize that that means a lot of people that would have voted Dem sold out to the highest bidder right?

Money buys commercials. Commercials influence people. The less educated they are, the more influence those commercials will have. The key to a better country is not telling people what to think, but teaching them to think.

You're going to have to expand on the corporatism aspect. Or are you saying that all capitalist interest is Corporatism?

That's why the 1% is trying to make cuts in public education, it is against their interest to have an educated population.

It wasn't a majority of Dems that voted for Walker in the recall now was it. Afraid you will have to look at others there.

Did I say all capitalist interest was corporatism? No. Next time you might try responding to what I actually said.

Unfortunately, I agree that those with power and money find it advantageous to keep the majority of Americans in ignorance.

I've never understood all the hype about marines being such "badasses".
My roommates in Airborne school were two Force Recon Marines and Ranger.

The Marines were not any more bad ass than we were, they just liked to wear it on their sleeve.

By whose standard? You didn't think they were more "badass" than you. Bet they thought different lol.

Sorry, I posted a retort before I saw this.
 
Re: For Veterans and Military personnel only.

The vast majority of my career has been in a joint environment. I am Army but I have worked alongside Navy, Air Force, Marines, and even Coast Guard. We have fun making jokes at each other’s expense but we still respect each other. In the end we all chose a career of service. It probably helps that we work in an environment where we are vastly outnumbered by State Department civilians. When that is the case the differences between the services don’t stand out quite so much. ;)

ETA: As to the thread topic, yes there are military members here but tht doesn't mean the results aren't skewed.
