Small businesses were at their healthiest during the Clinton administration.  Next.

Do you ever really think these things through?  Clinton had no power during the last 6 years of his presidency accept to veto bills and fire rockets. Same with Bush his last 2 years.

Also, most of the start ups during the Clinton years were not real businesses, just useless web pages that morons dumped insane amounts of money into before it all came crashing down.

The environment was at its best when Puritans founded this country, next.


The problem with these vague, silly, unfounded, snotty little statements, is that they are vague, silly, unfounded and snotty.  Here's what he'd be saying if Obama was a Repub

Obama is currently President:  1) record levels of sustained unemployment; 2) record low GDP growth; 3) drastically lower tax revenues; 4) poverty increasing at a record pace; 5) record levels of increasing healthcare costs; 6) record deficit spending; 7) uncharged prisoners at Gitmo; 8) record level global warming; 9) falling home prices; 10) sustained low levels of consumer sentiment





It's pretty simple... when Clinton left office, the United States was experiencing the largest budget surplus in the history of our country.  When Bush left office, the budget deficit was at an all-time high, and the economy was in the middle of a recession.  Obama is now left cleaning up the mess. 

Pretty sure the house drafts the budget and president just signs it, or doesn't. Clinton had little to do with the budget surplus. Pelosi wrote Bush's budget.

Gay Marriage and abortion are pretty much the only platforms left for republicans to run on, after that there is very little difference in the 2 parties for the average joe.

Funny thing is none of those things even change.  Candidates make promises on either side of those platforms but realistically can't do crap about them.

Wedge issues excite emotion.  Emotion rules the day for many.  Much easier to have a feeling about a candidate than to wade through the bullshit required to actually get a solid read on them.

no bites?  really?   :frown:

You can't get bites using facts.  You need to utilize a string of unconnected facts in a chain that builds to a false and incoherent conclusion.

To be honest is there anyone out there worth voting for?  The more I look at it, if you want to be president or in political office that makes you too stupid for me to vote for.  Who in there right mind would want that job?

Herman Cain seems pretty damn smart.  Only ran a major company.

Will be interesting to see the skeletons that come out of his closet if he does in fact get closer to being a real player on the republican side.  I can't imagine his prior connection to the Federal Reserve and adamant stance on not auditing the fed will help him with tea party type folks.

Not that I vote republican every time, but I can tell you why I never vote democrat.  I don't think welfare, unemployment, or any government funded program that gives the "less fortunate" benefits really helps anyone.  It especially doesn't help the working class. 

There.  I said it.

so you think WIC should be cancelled?

Beems:

Economically:  middle class tax cuts (Not sure when the Dem's ever voted for a tax cut, please enlighten me.), improved health care coverage (For who?  Why so many waivers with Obamacare?  Thought my rates would not rise anymore when this passed?  I guess we still have to wait to find out what is in it.  I'm sure the IRS will enlighten me.  Can someone tell me how the US can afford this? ), more funding for education (More funding has not worked out for better schools and education.  Democrats always think they can throw money at problems and get solutions.  Wrong again), etc., etc. (Please be more specific as etc. doesn't mean crap in my book.)


Socially:  a better environment (Killing jobs and agrigulture through Cap and Trade, or for example the Delta Smelt or theoretically manipulated data does not mean a better environment.  Conservatives are not against the environment, we are for practical measures to improve the environment.  Subsidizing a food source for the creation of energy is not working out very well.), improvements in medicine (embryonic stem cell research [Stem cell research has produce far greater results than embryonic stem cell research.), protection of constitutional rights (Protecting the Constitution by going after free speech in the Fairness Doctrine, and wanting to criminalize guns, doesn't sound like you are protecting much at all), decriminalization of marijuana (Don't mind this one, but still vote conservative), more social equality (white/black/gay/straight/man/woman/etc.) (Republicans freed the slaves, proportionately have higher percentage votes on all civil rights acts and believe in what MLK said that there should be no discernation of color.  Of course the Dems base everything on what color your skin is these days and can't see beyond that.  Ask a Dem what they think of Clarence Thomas, Allen West or Herman Cain.  Then you will see they want to keep the minority down, where they think they should belong.), upgrades in green technology (Only the market will affect large upgrades in this area.  Subsidation and price controls have negative affects on the market, especially related markets [ie. corn].  I sure as heck don't look forward to either having to purchase mercury filled light bulbs or $50/per LED light bulbs]  , more freedom in general (What freedoms do you mean?  Killing babies is a good freedom you like I bet.), etc., etc. (Once again, the etc. doesn't mean crap to me.)


Politically:   the separation of church and state (The only issue here is the fact that Liberals want God out of everything in life to create a secular society that worships the government.?  I know you don't like to see religious symbols at war memorials, and the Pledge of Allegiance you probably hate [I say it proudly before every KSU Football Game.  Probably makes you cringe.]  I'm sure you are right behind the ACLU making sure that there is no Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter in the schools.), the implementation of progressive ideologies (You obviously have no education on the root of the word.  You probably would have been with the original progressives in the 20's and 30's loving on Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini like they all did until 1939.  Progressive means being progressive towards Communism/Socialism.)  , a President who doesn't embarrass the entire country and butcher simple words like "nuclear," (Pretty sure that Obama said there were 57 states once.  The media latches on to Conservative misteps and ignores the Liberal ones and it is a sad hyprocracy.  Joe Biden is a walking talking nightmare, but the media just laughs it off.)., etc., etc. (What the eff does etc. mean to you?)
Me:  You also keep bringing up Clinton and his greatness and Bush and his deficits.  You have a history on this board of repeating this over and over and over, with no back up or thought.  I'm tired of calling you out on this, but once again:  Do you know who passes legislation and has the fiscal powers of budgeting?  You probably just lapped up everything said or written by Pelosi/Reids, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Liberal Professors, Time Magazine, Newsweek, NY Times (insert city paper name here) from birth to present.  No original thought at all.  Couldn't do any research whatsoever by yourself.  And I was raised before Fox News.  But had the ability to to find Chris Buckley and Milton Freidman and become educated on the economy and conservative principals.  Realizing that Socialism never works (and it's been tried and tried throughout history) and is responsible for the death of 100's of millions, I decided it would be a good idea to vote republican.
Wait a minute guys... I don't play golf... for money... against people.
