How will you celebrate when obama is booted out of office along with his communist and all things minority pals.
For proof of obama failings, his mentors and his ultimate goals it's your responsibility as a voter to fact find.
Read the rest below if you have the strength and patience.
Being articulate and USA history certainly not my strong points, merely my before (UK) and after (USA) simple but factual view.
Having moved to the USA 2007 my first experience of a presidential election was a traumatic one to say the least. The trauma growing on a daily basis for the last 4 year.
When I look back all I ever knew was UK politics, not realizing how little choice in life your average UK resident has. This is relative to what people take for granted in the USA.
A few specifics might be ability go out and start a business and not be taxed out of existence shortly after or strangled with red tape the year after when a invariably fat chancellor changes tax laws to cover your niche new business.
This......

At least one of the founding fathers said that there will be times when the State or Federal Government will over step it's bounds and will need to be put back into it's place.
That really does say a lot about freedom and how the USA was founded. One of the many things obama is doing his best to destroy, not even using the tools of democracy but merely dismissing the very things the USA was founded on.
His army of shirkers, bums happy to feed off the state to the ever increasing detriment of hard working Americans numbered 52% in the 2008 election.

Is this what America really wants ?
Europe is heading over the cliff in a very lemming fashion why should America follow by voting obama in for another 4 years.
The last one is just funny I'm sure a lot can relate to, it does work both ways of course

If you don't like Obama for personal reasons, then fine, don't like him. But don't make up reasons (aka lies) about Obama's record to justify your not liking him.

The problem isn't that the politicians are playing fast and free with the truth, it's people like the OP who willfully believe the lies, and nowadays, the pols have often gone from stretching the truth to outright making stuff up. The GOP has been the worst offender from what I've seen.

Case in point. I'm guessing this is a reference to the 50% of people who filed Federal Income Tax but didn't pay any tax.
If you read the source where that number comes from, you'll see that half of the 50% who didn't pay made $17,700 or less. The remaining half made ~$33,000 or less. (There were a few millionaires in that 50% who didn't pay federal income tax.) The poverty line for a family of four is around ~$20,000.
Which means: * There's no point in taxing people near or below the poverty line. They're too busy trying to afford basic food and basic housing. * Those people still pay taxes in the form of sales taxes, local taxes, etc.. * Doesn't it worry you when a large portion of your tax base doesn't make enough money to pay federal income taxes?
For the ultimate hypocrisy, the GOP is telling us that taxes are bad! Cut taxes! Cut them moar! Yet, they complain when 50% of taxpayers don't pay any federal income tax. Make up your mind GOP, or just publicly state that only the upper 50% shouldn't pay taxes, but the lower 50% of earners should.
/facepalm
edit: Also, seriously, no lock yet?

OP lacks the dignified comportment required to don the Red Jacket. Red Jacket Society has been notified of this transgression, justice will be swift. Look not to FW and metagaming circlejerk isk-faucetry. Look not to thy brothers-in-arms who will not undock without 10-man advantage and off-grid links. Look not to the feudal wastes north and south, to mad throngs of pubescent wangdanglers. Nay, but whither wilt thou find thy virtue and glory, thy solo and small-gang PvP? Whither wane goodfights for goodfights' sake? |

It's telling of one's character when one can still do what's right even in the face of total inevitability. Besides, if Jesus could slog through his crucifixion despite having a myriad of escapes available, then, we, his loyal followers and faithful members of the GOP, can buckle down and start a just war over a health care plan created by a Republican think tank that was put forth by the GOP as a counter to Clinton's proposed health care reform plan back in 1993 or so.

I'm sorry. **** other people who want to take my money. That is my opinion on other people stealing a portion of every paycheck from me. That is not forming an opinion of other peoples lives. That is attempting to defend my own.
**** off. |

*giggle* What good is money if it can't buy anything?
Remember the statistic that the 400 richest US citizens own as much (or more) wealth as the bottom 50% of US citizens? Well, the whole purpose of an economic system is to support society by providing a means of allocating scarce resources. If a large percentage of your society is no longer benefiting from your economic system, then potentially, those people have no reason to support or otherwise be a part of your society. So if push ever comes to shove, it's 160 million citizens against 400 citizens. Those are pretty bad odds, even if you assume an ever shrinking middle class will come to the rescue of the 1%.
Given that most "wealth" is just pieces of paper (money, deeds, data in a computer) or a public agreement that this stuff is yours (i.e. I'm not going to kill you and take your stuff,) telling an ever increasing number of poor to sod off is going to reduce you (or your descendants) to abject poverty if the wealth imbalance in the US becomes much more extreme.
You may not like it, but it is in your best interests to invest in helping to uplift the poor so that they don't get to the point that killing you and your family and taking your stuff has no appreciable downsides for them.
