The problem with defeating Obama is that you will get a fucking Tea Party endorsed candidate in the white house. While we can certainly do better than Obama, the tea party aint that. I would rather have 4 more years of pain under Obama than face the end of America as we know it that could happen if a tea party traitor becomes president.
On the plus side, Obama's political career will be over when he gets out of office. This means that if he does get reelected, he may not be beholden to the corporate interests that got him the election. There is a sliver of a chance that he could stand up and lead the country in the right direction. I don't expect that to happen, but almost anything is better than the tea party.
If I was a troll I wouldn't be risking my name and reputation on this.
How is socialism death? Socialism is about improving society and uplifting everyone. It is about providing a security net for those most in need and providing the opportunity for upward mobility. Socialism is about having a strong nation. Yes it costs money, and yes that has to come from taxes. What is killing Europe is isn't socialism, it is the current economic depression combined with terrible planning and a poorly implemented union.
You want to see the death of a nation? It is in gutting that security net, crushing the citizens of the country under poverty and helplessness and shipping our industry over to china. I don't want socialism "unchecked" I want enough of it that America is a strong and powerful nation, where every child is fed and educated to the best of their ability, where unemployment is low, and the middle class are not beholden to their masters under a crushing burden of debt.
There was once a time that startrek predicted future technology. CSI is now doing it. And it is far less benevolent than the cell phone and portable medical diagnostic devices.
Simply put you have everything backwards. Democrats are at worst useless and at best trying to keep our country going. It is the tea party who are killing America and sucking trillions of dollars into the offshore bank accounts of the ultra rich. It is they who betray everything this country was founded for, everything that we have achieved.
Then you are a disgrace to your uniform and betraying the oath that you have sworn. The tea party is the enemy of America, leading it into ruin and destruction. You are an enemy of America.
The middle class people are being used in order to put forward an agenda that is harmful to them. They own American dream of prosperity is being used to strip that possible future away from them, to disenfranchise them and reduce them to slavery in service of the noble class. The tea party is the firing line of class warfare waged by the owner class against the working people responsible for real wealth.
I come from a place where they still hang black boys from the trees. Racism is alive and well and I have seen it personally at tea party rallies. And yes, I attended a few. Not wanting to be taxed isn't what makes them treasonous, not even their racism makes them treasonous. Their treason comes from holding America hostage, from attempting and succeeding in causing harm to America to further their goals. That is why they are traitors, and that is why I can no longer avoid speaking out. I am an American patriot and the enemies of my country can not go unchallenged.
Note the phrase: "doesn't leave America a shattered shallow mockery of a failed state."
There is NO way to cut enough fat to balance the federal budget without causing serious harm to this country if we do not also raise taxes. There are plenty of places to trim and shrink the government, but that alone will not solve the problem.
I fucking hate Obama, he is a weak spineless lieing bastard who has spent 3 years bending over backwards to to the right instead of doing what needed to have been done. If there was anyone other than a Tea Party Traitor and Obama on the ticket, I would want the other person to win.
The cost of waging war is is far less than our deficit spending. The entire cost of our military including the wars, all research, development and readiness is about half of our deficit spending.
Bringing the troops home is not enough. Taxes have to be raised, period. There is no alternative that doesn't leave America a shattered shallow mockery of a failed state.
I know the tea party does not have the right answer. It is unquestionable. To hold america hostage, the threaten the nations prosperity in order to remove someone for being the first black president is fucking treason.
The tea party has a simple agenda. 1: Get Obama out of office. 2: repeal all social progress. 3: ensure all wealth accumulates in the hands of the billionaires. 4: enslave the middle class to enrich the billionaires. 5: allow the poor to die in starvation and sickness.
Fuck them and anyone who has even a tiny bit of sympathy for their agenda and goals.
The DNC wants to raise taxes to pay the price for continued society. It is the RNC who refuse to pay for the government they enact and it has been for 30 years.
Given two choices, Tax and Spend or Debt and Spend, guess which one is more sustainable? The alternative Pillage and Run promoted by the tea party is not a viable alternative.
The problem is that it no longer doesn't matter who wins. At one point the parties were basically the same and only differed on a nearly irrelevant polarizing issues, and those were mostly predetermined by the constitution. Now the republicans have been infected with the tea party, who seek nothing less than the end of America as we know it. Your vote now matters far more than ever. You can vote Republican/Tea Party for the annihilation of America, or your can vote Democrat for our meager continued existence. We do not yet have a viable party that is in favor of making America great.
The moral teachings I got out of the bible was to brutalize my children, value my wife less than livestock, abduct young girls and enslave them after murdering their parents, brothers and livestock, then to torture my most faithful allies and if a group of children call be bald then they deserve to be fed to bears.
The bible is no moral authority. It is a book written to idolize psychopathy. The bible and all Abrahamic religions that follow it are fundamentally flawed, corrupt and evil. Evil is a very real thing and religion is one of its principal sources.
The only way religion and science get along is if religion sits down, shuts up, apologizes for its crimes and doesn't do evil. I am not a typical athiest, I believe in evil. Real evil that is malevolent, infectious and corrupting. Something that goes beyond greed. I've experienced it first hand, and its principal source in this world is religion.

If you want to point to a pro communist group, it is the tea party supporters who outsource jobs to china.
I am an American patriot. I am radically anti-communist. Where the fuck do you get your bullshit?
No. Race is only a tool used to motivate their base. At the top, they care much more about destroying America than they do about the race.
You have a point. They would have pitched a fit over Hillary as well.

Mitt Romney collaborates with the terrorist tea party organization. That makes him a traitor to this country in a time of war.

I noticed this. I wouldn't mind being able to mod myself redundant after I saw everything else that was posted.

Abstinence, if used widely enough would also wipe humans from the face of the earth in less than 10 decades.
This is the next move from government control to corporate control. Thank you, fascists. [fascism = shut up and obey your superiors.]
No...
Authoritarian = shut up and obey your superiors.
Fascist has a definition that varies dramatically with time and often includes authoritarianism.
