Artful Dodger: Doesn't matter who it is though, I'm voting for WHOever runs against him. It is crucial to get this incompetent out. Anyone would be less dangerous
Artful Dodger: I'm a big fan of Shaun Hannity. He just makes sense to me. (Radio Show, I don't get to watch his TV show much)
I hope we come up with someone good to go against Obama. I'm liking Bachman a lot! The libs are obviously getting scared, stooping to bringing up "migraine headaches".
Artful Dodger: I hope the tea partiers stick to their guns and don't give in to this "gang of six" crap that is trying to go through that incompetent Obama is clinging on to. Americans voted them in whole heartedly in 2010 for ONE reason. If they don't do what we want, they will be voted out too. I'm worried they are going to get wishy washy
Artful Dodger: She is definitely one of the dumber more annoying libs smackin her lips on the airwaves. I hate stupid people like her, that think they are so "on top of things" and continually get shown they are foolish. Not even brave enough to admit when they screw up completely. Ignores it completely.
Übergeek 바둑이: I stand by what I said. The answer is fixing the loop holes, NOT RAISING taxes. And the bigger more important part is lowering spending significantly.
Obviously there is nothing I can say to convince you and other libs otherwise, and there is nothing you or them can say to convince me otherwise.
Temo: Re: The "rich" already pay more than their share of the taxes.
(V): Are you for real? You'd like to see proof (official notes/docs/site) ??? LOL. I am an average person, typing on a discussion board on a game web site. This is NOT the floor of congress, and I don't even know you.
And, unlike some people I don't have all day to Google everything. However, just to entertain you I took a quick minute and found this article. Is it skewed to the right? Quite possibly. Is it a few years old? Sure is, but things haven't changed much since 2007. I don't care, frankly. It's really common sense anyway.
Übergeek 바둑이: Well the problem with someone like G.E. is taken care of by fixing stupid tax loop-holes. NOT increasing taxes. Increasing taxes will just have G.E. finding loop holes for that too.
(V): You go right ahead and raise all the taxes you want in the UK. We aren't the UK. We fought not to be over 200 years ago.
The "rich" already pay more than their share of the taxes.
We spend MORE than we should be. If we cut down to the bare minimum, and more is needed? Then MAYBE I'd agree that more taxes are needed. We haven't even scratched the surface of what spending needs to be cut though.
Most of us are forced to live within our budget. The wasteful Federal Govt. needs to be forced to do the same.
Tuesday: Disagreeing? How is calling me a liar, disagreeing? Disagreeing with MY personal reasons? It's not even close to the same thing as challenging someone about facts. Silly. Try a flame fellowship for that. Thanks. Back on topic, please. Thanks.
Tuesday: I have no clue why you feel the need to go round n round in circles. I stated what I felt, and beyond that, it doesn't (shouldn't?) matter to you. Move on, thank you. YOU are the one who felt the odd craving to call me a liar.
Tuesday: Who are YOU to say what my reasons are? You use your reasons for being part of a cult, I'll use mine for not being part of one. Unlike some, I don't care what anyone thinks of my reasons for being part or not part of something, so I have no reason to lie.
Übergeek 바둑이: Gosh, I'm no religion expert, but it seems like hypocrisy can be found in every religion. Seems reason enough to me to not be part of any of them!
Temo: Re:Republicans in this state are land owners, farmers, etc. and base their political beliefs on morality as you said.
Tuesday: "They"?
You fail to mention that the reason "They" end up having to bring it up, is because a good bulk of libs accuse every one else of being racist for disagreeing with anything the incompetent man does. It's really the libs who play the race card. It has happened so much, I can understand "them" possibly feeling the need to start statements out that way. (It's not because he's black, but)
Übergeek 바둑이: Not all (and I doubt even most) of the rich have "ill gotten gains". Do you consider it "better gotten gains" when it is taxed away from them and given to others?
Artful Dodger: It was a job well done by the Navy Seals. Period. You are right. Obama did nothing. Except give the go ahead. Woopty doo. JUST THINK if he hadn't? Just think what would have happened then. He really had no choice. (Or the alternative would have been stupid choice and a nail in his coffin. No matter HOW great that would be).
The aggravating thing for me is that if this was reversed somehow, the Libs would be acting the same exact way, and would find it all just as offensive. Ubergeek is definitely right about how polarized everything has become. I'm just as guilty lately.
Artful Dodger: My main goal will be to make sure he doesn't have another 4 years to destroy us even more. So, that means I won't necessarily vote in the primary for the person I personally like the best, but the person that I think has the best chance to beat the anointed one. If they are one in the same, PERFECT. But goal #1 is to get rid of this guy. It's sad, but it's SO important.
I tend to go for the more Libertarian. But they don't usually have much of a chance.
Temo: Re: Hannity finally figures out a way to attack President Obama for the Japan quake
The Col: Come on! Libs would be all over Bush if he was president and was spending weekends golfing, playing hoops, worrying about his basketball brackets with everything going on in the world right now. He is useless. Hannity is right.
Tuesday: secretly? he does think he is the anointed one. I've said it ALL along and will continue to. WORST president in history. Even worse than Carter.
Temo: Re: Am I disappointed with Obama? No, because I knew from the beginning that the US can NEVER close Guantanamo.
Artful Dodger: Exactly. "Unrealistic" is an understatement. He is a complete amateur. I can't believe so many people voted for someone so Unqualified. It seems as though he is just stumbling through everything.
