Both of them have track records, some good, some not so good, but they had a record. Obama had no record, he wa s ajr senator for a few years and he voted present more than he did yes or no. Anyone who had an IQ above a goldfish could see that obama was going to be a disaster. I can forgive people for being naive in 2008 but I cant forgive the idiots who voted for him again
sometimes those in charge need to be embarrassed. Cover it however you wish but a lie is a lie. and the government works for us, not the other way around. If reporters would actually do their jobs, this whitehouse would all be hind bars along with 90% of congress
explain to me what improvement *needs* to be done? Is your company successful? are the people programming meeting the goals? If the answer is yes, what does diversity matter? This isnt pre school people, we dont need to make everything equal in all ways, If your core group works, and works well, why mess it up by throwing a wrench into it?
we should never hire someone of (race) or (gender) for the sake of having more (race) or (gender) at said company. We should hire (sex) if they can do the job and do it well, same goes with (gender)
so what you are saying is that we should put a rotten tomato in the pile of all the non rotten tomatos, which as anyone who ever has a bundle of tomatos knows, that when 1 bad one is there, it turns the rest
why should we not have schools that allow the brightest to excel? why should we cater to the lowest common denominator?
for example, My best friend is a teacher, he is currently a sub as he waits for a perm job to open up at the school he works at.The stories he tells me would make you cringe, kids who dont know how to add 7+7 without using their fingers...in 11th grade, people who cant spell the word "school" if its written in front of them. So while the teacher is forced to treat this 11th grader as a 1st grader, the rest of the 11th graders are losing out on their education. This is the biggest reason that I want to do with with the dept of ed as a whole. This is why no child left behind is a horrible idea. This is why I believe the schools should have more power to disiplince students correctly, and hold kids back who dont know the material. I am sick of seeing kids moving up to graduate when they cant spell the city they live in, 18 years old cant spell? sorry you should still be in 3rd grade
actually im the opposite in thought. I dont want the government subsidizing the costs. I think the ACA is a joke, the worst piece of legislation pushed through since the patriot act
and that is why we should not judge a book by its cover LGW. It may shock you but there are people who are all pro pot in the right wing as well, sadly the GOP establishment is so against it that we dont get any traction
obviously, because most anyone would agree that I lean right wing. me and him probably agree but he is blinded by partisan issues, that he could not even see that
clearly you havent payed attention to my posts over the past 10 years.... I want the federal government shrunk WAY the fuck down, and to actually follow the constitution. Im a constitutionalist not a 1 hotbutton issue voter thank you very much. If it is not written in the constitution, it is to be left to the states. end of story
corporations are a group of people, they should be treated as such. If anything we didnt go far enough with it, we dont hold the heads of the companies responsible for what the companies do like we would a parent to a child. Meaning if someone runs company X, they seem to get all the benifits of personhood, but none of the negatives, no one is ever held responsible criminally when their company does something criminal. Start holding the owners of these companies personally liable and stop letting them hide behind the corp and i think things would be better.
I convinced countless friends of mine to not vote for obama, or romney for that matter, I even bought them beer! Is that manipulating the public?? or is it only bad when someone with more money does it?
ok, and? They are actually fighting a good fight here. Lets try and look at it from that point of view. I dont really care what direction someone leans if they do what is right, and taking onthe government for its over reach of power is the right thing to do.
you seem to be missing a large point. There are 2 factions in the republican party now, you have the establishment republicans like mccain and romney, Those people are the big government republicans like bush, Then you have the new breeds, you have the rand pauls and ted cruzs, the small government anti establishment types. It is not as simple as saying "where were you republicans when bush bla bla bla" but its more like "now we can see some republicans are standing up against bla bla bla when we did not have that before"
If you really think that the tea party are the fascists, I dont think you know what the word means. Being anti big government is the exact opposite. And if you honestly believe it is only our "hatred for obama" that is pushing you, you need to take the blinders off. There were many many people myself included who hated everything bush was doing and see no change in what obama is doing from that standpoint.
it really is sad meglon that you believe the stuff you are saying.
He hates it for one reason only, the same reason republicans have been running around for 6 years trying to burn down the entire country: Obama.
This is simply not true. Did we say that the only reason democrats were against it in 2003 was because they hate bush?
Why are republicans against the PATRIOT Act and the NSA programs now, when they're the ones who wrote it and pushed for greater surveillance: Obama.
The mainstream republicans are NOT against the NSA and patriot act, the tea party and the new class are the ones who are against it, It is us who were in high school when it was written who now are old enough to have a voice speaking out
Why are they against the Afghanistan war now, when they pushed for it instead of simply extraditing Bin Laden (which the Taliban said they would do as soon as the US handed them evidence he was behind 9/11): Obama.
That is completely retarded, once again it is the younger generation who now has a voice. The ones who were in high school were mostly against the wars from the start, now that they are being heard you lump them all together. If you ask mccain or romney or the rest of the older republicans they still want the war. But I dont expect you to figure that out in your hate filled, misplaced rant
christe is not really supported all that much by the people who got him elected. He was liked for being anti establishment but when sandy hit he became best friends with obama so the base that voted for him probably would not vote for him in 2016 over the likes of rand paul as one example of someone I believe will be running
If you cannot admit that MSNBC does the EXACT same thing, For example al sharpton calls everyone a racist even if he is the only one who said anything about race, and the other side simply disagree with policy. Ed shultz is such a wack job he does nothing but insult everyone. he never has a coherent statement he is a blathering idiot. As for stating all the women on fox news look like strippers, Thats just tasteless, Just because fox has attractive anchors and MSNBC has maddow..... jealous much?? So what you think attractive women cant be smart they must be strippers? sexist much??

or was he just a pawn the entire time?

I laughed
Im offended at anyone getting a job because of the color of their skin or what is in between their legs. The best person should get the job. period.

cut taxes, and a shit ton of redundancy from the government, and give that to NASA. NASA gets a net gain and we get to spend less
we are still spending more than the previous year. so yes it is a spending increase
so what you are saying is that we should put a rotten tomato in the pile of all the non rotten tomatos, which as anyone who ever has a bundle of tomatos knows, that when 1 bad one is there, it turns the rest

what good is being able to be covered for a pre existing condition if I cant afford to buy the damn insurance anyway??
we are up to the jury part though
Kids who are not interested in XXX dont do XXX when they get out of high school! Also, water is wet
