Let it be remembered that the day the internet died, it was to the majority of Slashdot applauding. You just let the only entity more corrupt than the telecommunications companies take over the internet. Joy.
The AGW argument is dead. Perhaps efforts should now go into things that 90% of the population can get behind. Clean air, water, soil and food are great places to start. Perhaps real energy solutions like a Thorium reactor (fueled by the giant radioactive ‘waste’ piles created when mining rare earth metals for solar panels and wind turbines) should get serious consideration. The amount of energy people have access to directly correlates to the standard of living.
It’s all about energy density and we need to make that next step. Holding people back will never happen so why not just move on?
Yeah, that would go over well.
Instead of trying to control every action every individual takes why not just make them responsible? Governments need to stop subsidizing having children, amongst just about everything else. Problem solved.
Bill Clinton passed on Bin Laden after the first trade center attacks.(after 4 years you wont blame Obama, but less than a year for Bush and blame blame blame).
Obama re-signed the Patriot Act and the NDAA.
Obama has deficit spent at twice the rate of GWB.
The 2008 economic decline was from......the housing bust. Government mandating home loans be provided to people who couldn't pay them back.
There is a lot of blame for both parties, but only one place where both those parties cause most of the trouble. =====>DC
So you don't support internet freedom, language mostly taken from Libertarian Ron Paul, because of language you disagree with that is actually NOT part of the platform?
The platform is against the internet being co-opted into a central regulatory body.
Your point of view typically comes from the extreme left wing which is responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths. You have those like Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Mussolini, etc., etc. who not only have war time body counts, but much of the count comes from 'peace time' genocide of undesirables in the population.
Largest stimulus in the history of mankind just wasn't big enough, or big fat old fail?
To put it in perspective the alien 'transport' device in Contact was around a trillion dollars and was a multi-country endeavor. It was the cause of much angst because of the massive price tag.
Another way to look at it is that every single family home in the US could have had a solar power system installed for a trillion dollars.
Well conservatives generally think that you should be responsible for your own choices. There are plenty of children who are neglected or abandoned of all ages, I suppose we should dispose of them as well?
The Katrina Bush bashing was just political BS and everyone knows it who isn't a moron. The state government was largely blamed for the lack of planning and preparation with the feds only coming off as less than helpful, but not harmful.
I wen through a nasty flood last year (as in house flooded, no power and displaced for days) and my family pulled through because we did not wait for the government to come save us.
You basically had a city full of worthless government dependent people who didn't know the first thing about being prepared and thinking ahead. Just wait for government to show up and hope your family doesn't drown.
Or have a friend named Obama. GM made billions in profit and got a tax refund, guess that's okay though because they contribute to the 'correct' campaign.
Reid is saying exactly that! He is saying Romney paid NO TAXES which is of course moronic.
Why do you think Romney doesn't want to release his taxes, because it wont make the attacks go away about his wealth, it just validates the random accusations.
No one sane thinks Romney did anything illegal, they just want to attack his success. We are just all envious of our neighbors and want to take what they have. It's as simple and childish as that.
Well as you can see John McCain's and Roger Calero's names have two dates. You can name one person who still pushes the idea in the entire country. I hardly consider that a continuing conspiracy. 6% of people don't think we landed on the moon. Sharif Joe only constitutes.00000000000000000000003% so until you reach the 6% threshold I think your conspiracy theory is a conspiracy theory.
I reviewed and on the house you technically correct as their voting bloc was 58.8% not 60%. However the Senate did have a super majority 60% until Kennedy died.
My point is still valid even if only 1 half of the congress had a super majority. I'm sure you don't mind the Senate and Obama blocking all the bills passed by the House since 2010? It's only when ideas you don't like get blocked it's "part of the process", but if you like the ideas then "it's obstruction".
There is a reason it's difficult to pass laws, laws are normally not good.
The Stimulus was 100% Obama. Bush did not write, sign or implement that bill.
Romney was governor of a state and signed a bill for healthcare in that state. How is that hard to understand?
Unemployment and economic growth are affected by federal policy (taxes, regulation, etc.) Obama has an anti-business regulatory ideology and the economy reflects that
On banking regulation Senator Obama was against reviewing and revamping the sub-prime mortgages where GOVERNMENT mandates forced banks to make loans to people everyone knew could not pay them back.(This was of course prior to the 2008 crash) Yes, the feds would punish banks who did not make loans to people who they knew could never repay them on the basis of 'fairness'.
Breaking banks into two groups, investment & lenders would do what you ask in 'breaking up' banks. There is no such thing as 'too big to fail' only 'too corrupt to fail'.
I would consider anyone who has been successful as a citizen to be president. Obama was a bad student, professional protester, periodic lecturer and absent Senator. Romney is not savior, but 4 years of improved economics couldn't hurt in my opinion.

Mitt's father was questioned too when there was a chance he might become the nominee because the Romney's were from Mexico. By extension Mitt himself released his birth certificate to Reuters because questions arouse.
Full Faith and Credit didn't even apply to banning interracial marriages according to the supreme court, so precedent would not favor your opinion.
The DOMA was not necessary IMO as a state could simply choose not to recognize ANY marriages as easily as it could choose to define what it would recognize. If state A want's to recognize a contract between a man and lamp post, state B does not have to create law and provide ceremonies for those in state B who might wish to have a contract with a lamp post.
The 'birth certificate' issue has come up for many presidential candidates in the past. The only reason it was an issue is because Obama refused to release it, unlike other presidential candidates.
You did notice that once it was release the issue was done. Just like previous candidates.
What law prevents gay marriage? Answer: None.
Marriage is a contract that a State chooses to recognize or not recognize. The federal government has NOTHING to do with it. If a state chooses to recognize a contract between two opposite sex, two same sex, or 3 same or mixed sex partners its the sates business, not the federal government.
Your view seems to be that the FEDERAL government should force states to recognize contracts of same sex marriages, but what about mixed partner marriages of all types?
For the record my opinion is that the state has the right under the constitution to decide IF it recognizes contracts and what criteria said contract cannot have. However, I would advocate for NOT recognizing ANY marriages as I don't think it is the business of the federal or state government to define what a cultural 'norm' is or is not.
You do know his party had a super majority in congress for the first 2 years of his presidency? That means that Obama could direct exactly what he wanted, which he did.
His stimulus was a trillion dollar failure.
Obamacare is already in the red.
The economy is growing at less than 2%.
Employment isn't keeping pace with those entering workforce
All economic benchmarks set by Obama, Obama has failed to reach

Let's just put it this way, if you owned a business would you hire Obama to run your business???

I understand your point, but how do you get past the part where you are ending the life of an otherwise innocent human?
Adequate social welfare structure exists. 100 million Americans are on some kind of welfare, so social 'safety nets' abound.
Some people don't think it is okay to kill another human being. Some think it's okay to kill a baby even after it's born for up to two weeks.
The argument comes down to: do both humans have rights and if so how can they co-exist?
Well conservatives generally think that you should be responsible for your own choices. There are plenty of children who are neglected or abandoned of all ages, I suppose we should dispose of them as well?
I modded you as offtopic, but only for the irony.
