A dream candidate!
I'm not saying I like Scott Walker, I'm just saying that in general a political candidate not having a degree is a plus. I.E. they weren't indoctrinated with a bunch of socialist crap for four years at a university.

I'm just saying that if you don't want an educated public official, you might as go all the way...,you know..,,,full retard.

That's your gimmick... why would he want to emulate you?
 
Many of these leftwingers have selectively short memories. They choose not to remember the assassination threads that were written on talkboards while Bush was president. And you are right about the "payback" aspect. They dished it out during Bush's eight years and now they are getting their noses rubbed in it and they don't like it.

You know, I was just talking with a fellow political junkie here about today's politics in BC and who we are not hearing from. I am deliberately on all three party lists so I get emails and calls to see from the inside...

The leftist NDP is no where to be seen, quietly letting the voters forget the 2012 election where they attacked the integrity, ability to mother, the bust line of our Premier..not to mention a blog suggesting she was a "MILF"...especially since they were handed their heads.

In the US though, they keep right on pounding. Look at the threads in here, three assailing Scott Walker and how few "Bush" references there are still seven years later. The tactic isn't working, they have lost the last three congressional elections in a row and now the "enemy" controls the dialogue through congress.

Meanwhile the cheap shots and propaganda campaigns continue unabated while the whine and whimper "unfair" as though the world will forget seven years of Bush hating.

What goes around comes around is an old saying because it's true. They got as ugly as I have ever seen politics but now expect their victims to simply let them go on attacking. Sorry, but no. Get ready for some serious blood. It won't take much to get some plants into the 'private meetings' with Hillary and tape a version of '47%'...the Republicans are stupid if they have not already recruited the people to it.

Wait for the Senate to re-open the IRS investigation....two years of "I refuse to answer on the grounds it may tend....." will not gain the Democrats any votes. How about the Armed Services Committee opening hearings on how this war is going and who be ordering who...
perhaps a hearing or fifty of Obama's unilateral and questionably legal handling of immigration, illegals and a detailed look at "amnesty", there sits a future gold mine of screw ups, mis identification, bribery and so forth.....staged a year from now.....

The fun, as they say, is just beginning. As I said the morning after the last election, the Republicans are in a perfect position. They can't do anything wrong as Obama will veto everything they throw at him and that makes for some creative laws.....They have no one individual on which to hang jack **** and one guy, one party responsible for EVERYTHING....

Hell, they blow this they don't deserve to breath in and out

That is certainly possible. It is also possible to graduate as a narrow minded dweeb.

Sounds to me as if you had a bad college experience.

Truth prevails. If you think critically there should be no fear in learning.
 
I am a conservative independent. However I will point out that you are being a bit intellectually dishonest. The alleged hatred of Obama by the right has not nearly approached the level of hatred the left displayed against Bush. My bet is that you were one of the haters. And the dictator charge against Obama does have some justification. If you have not noticed, now that Obama no longer has to worry about elections for the remainder of his second term, he is using executive orders on a massive scale to do what he cannot get congress to do. The legislative branch is not their to answer to the executive office's beck and calling. Obama is supposed to be running the executive branch. He is attemping to control both the executive and the legislative branch. That is not how representative government is supposed to work. What Obama is in effect telling the voters....."Don't bother voting for Senators and House members. If I don't get my way, I will bypass them with executive orders."




The continued use of the race card by the left is so childish. I don't think anyone really cares what Obama's race is....they only care about the damage he is doing. And to be honest, I think it's the democrats who are afraid in regards to 2016. The only way the republicans can lose is if they nominate another geriatric RINO.

I was a Republican most of my life, so you you would be wrong when you said I was one of the Bush haters. After he got out of office I've turned into a hater because I have learned how often he lied and how much damage those lies have done. But actually I voted for him in 2000.

And stop with the executive orders nonsense, previous presidents have used it more than Obama.

My own father in-law hates Obama for one reason only, he's black. He's in his 70's, an old time Republican. Racist as hell. Much of his generation is. So if you really believe no one cares about Obama's race you are being naive, or dishonest to the nth degree.

What lies specifically?

Which isn't the point. Its not the number but the substance of those orders. If a president only issues one executive order during his entire term and that order is to suspend the constitution, would you still be making the same argument?

Sorry to hear about your racist family, but its not his political affiliation that makes him the way he is. I was married into a very liberal Irish Catholic family, who all voted democrat but used racist language like nothing I have ever heard.

But sorry, I am not buying the "I used to be a republican, but left because they are lying racists" BS. It easy to lie around here and that is not an uncommon one.

Golly gee, I went to college and know many others who also did, and we all must have been sick on Socialist Indoctrination Day.

None. We have since found out Saddam had everything to do with 9/11, actually he was flying one of the planes but parachuted out just before impact. And Iraq's WMD programs were active. (sarcasm off)

You can't make the numbers argument so now it's substance? How about this? If this Congress, especially the GOP House wasn't so childish, like voting to defund ACA 60 times, and so gridlocked then maybe the government would work like it suppose to.

I never said there are no libs who are racists. I said to believe no one cares about Obama's race is naive, or flat out dishonest. And if you are continuing that argument then you are naive and/or dishonest too.

BTW I also never said I left the GOP because they were lying racists. I said Bush lied and his lies caused us a lot of problems. I left the GOP for a whole bunch of reasons. Bush lies and 2003 war was just one reason. The biggest reason was the GOP's rabid defense of the banks and Wall Street after the 2008 crash.

So what you have is typical liberal talking points. Right, you are some republican. Tell, me, did the evil Bush administration force the Clinton Administration to lie about WMD too?

More liberal garbage. Pick up a copy of the Constitution and point to me the clause that empowers the president to do whatever he wants if congress is gridlocked. Let me save you some trouble: its not in there. You know what happens if congress and the president cant reach agreement? Nothing happens. That is how its supposed to be.

Are there republicans who voted against Obama because he is black? No. Republicans vote against Obama because he is a democrat. Are there liberals who voted against Obama because he is black. Absolutely. Are there liberals who voted for Obama because he is black? Absolutely. So it is liberals that are focused on skin color. But then again, race obsessed liberals are about as common as wealth obsessed liberals. Its practically a requirement.

Are there liberals who voted against Obama because he is black. Absolutely.

So only Libs are racist?

And my opinions are Liberal garbage..

Before you go to bed at night do you check under your bed for the Liberal bogeyman? Booooooo

There are NO Republicans who voted against Obama? And this specious claim is your "evidence" that it's just "liberals" who are focused on skin color? Well, that's a pretty asinine argument.

First of all, who cares what you think? Second, you cant read. Third, do you think republicans voted against Clinton and Gore and Kerry because they were black too? Or in your little dream world do you think Obama would have gotten 100% of the vote if his skin were a different color?

I didn't say only liberals are racist. Apparently, neither you nor kobie can understand the English language very well. But I do agree completely with your second sentence. So we are making progress.

I'm apparently not the one with reading comprehension issues if you think I was claiming every non-Obama vote was because of his race.

So you had no point at all then. I should have known.

Stick to just making stupid, baseless claims about what liberals believe. Play to your strengths.

Actually, a child could figure out what a liberal believes, so it really doesn't take that much effort. Liberals don't think, they feel. But who would know that better than you.
 
Yeah, you did. Because of your hatred and fear of everything liberal you don't see it, but you did.

Booooo again.
I didn't say that, nor do I hate or fear liberals. You are just doing the very thing that made you (supposedly) stop being a republican. See if you can figure out what that is.

My situation was similar. I was voted Republican for years and then became fed up with them. I then voted Libertarian and eventually agreed to disagree with the LP on a few issues. I voted for Bush in 2000. I suppose I did so because I was sooo damned fed up with the Clintons. Early in the first year I began to suspect something wasn't right about the Bush presidency. I had the impression that he was painting by the numbers, and not doing a very good job at that. September 11 proved to me that Bush was a neocon puppet. I realized that Cheney and others running the government. The remaining Bush years confirmed my suspicions. I left the GOP and registered as an Independent and never looked back.

Just under the surface it is difficult to find much difference between the Democratic and Republican Parties. Yes, as ever, the Democrats are nutless, meek, unimaginative and have no unity. Republicans remain the party of old white men who are comprised of neocons, Tea partisans and religionists who are paranoid fascists. Most important is that both Democratic and Republican parties are owned by corporations and big money. I trust neither party.

I don't trust either party. Because as you said they both are beholding to big money and donors. But IMO right now the Democrats are the lesser of 2 evils. I was what they use to call a Rockefeller Republican, meaning I was moderate on domestic issues, and moderate on worker issues, and for hiring to fix and improve our infrastructure, etc. Back in the day the GOP was actually friendly and helpful to the working man. You'd never know that now.

Anyway Bush's lies and his war pushed me to the edge of leaving the GOP, then the final straw for me was in 2008-2009 when after the banks caused the crash the Republicans to a man defended the banks and Wall Street and put all the blame for the crash on the middle class and poor. Then I knew for sure that as a middle class workingman who held moderate views on domestic issues that there was nothing the GOP had to offer me. The GOP was all about appeasing their very conservative base, and the rich.. And I was nether.

So I'm an ex-Republican now.
