Makes perfect sense, but going back to my question, how do you think supporting a party openly opposed to your values would be better [for you]? Merely on the disappointment factor??
Well said Capt. The unions have so much useless bullshit entitilements it is sickening. We all have pay our own health insurance, IRA contributions, etc. And noone in the private sector gets%75 pay until they die after only 20 years on the job. That vote in Wisconsin was a referendum on all the "takers" out there!!!!!
Seeing how there is no viable third party, we simply vote for who we think can get the job done. That job being, creating an environment where the economy can flourish, and national defense. There is little difference between the parties on national defense. They both will stick their noses where it doesn't belong and we'll suffer the consequences. It's a virtual non-issue this election. That leaves the economy. Obama has failed miserably and has no plan of substance for the future. I'll bet on the money this time around, hope the modern day Pharaoh's are feeling kind, and will share a few pieces of coin with the servants. Social issues are irrelvant in our society. People will do what they do regardless of any moral and legal ideas being pushed. What else is there at this point?
As if on cue, here's the third party choice. If it wasn't so pitiful it would be funny. Funny in a really tragic sort of way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Stein http://news.yahoo.com/comes-green-party-more-jobs-pot-no-servants-220800713--abc-news-politics.html
More bad news. Just watched Matthews in a discussion with Chuck Todd and Major Garrett. So Matthews asks, why no big infrastructure type job plan being unveiled? Garrett replies, he asked that very question of the administration and was told that their polling, and focus groups, FOCUS F'N groups, are telling them to stay small. If I owned a gun I'd have shot the TV. This is what happens when you have a complete vacuum of leadership in the WH. They haven't a clue as to what needs doing. This bunch is lost in the wilderness. November can't come soon enough. This pathetic excuse of a president has got to go. Focus groups are are determining the plan for the economy. I would call that incompetence at such a staggering level it borders on a criminal act.
These are the people handling our economy. "Let's see, $60,000,000 divided by 572,000 is... $104.90. Woah, that is way, way off from the President's "math." Well, maybe he means that "Total Cumulative Donors" number. That's a lot bigger. Let's see, $60,000,000 divided by 2,200,000 is... $27.27. Okay then. Um... maybe he used that "New Donors" number? Maybe? $60,000,000 divided by 147,000 is... $408.16. Well, it's official: the Obama Campaign can't do math that you learned when you were about 10."
"The Greens' convention is in the middle of July, in Baltimore. Tens of people are expected to show up (O.K., maybe hundreds) to officially nominate the woman who once ran against Mitt Romney in the Massachusetts race for governor." Now that was funny.
How about the fact we (not me) but we elected him to be the president, not listen to focus groups about his re election. That is the most damning thing I can think of. Staying stupid instead of getting people back to work.
"President Obama's problem now isn't what Wisconsin did, it's how he looks each dayâcareening around, always in flight, a superfluous figure. No one even looks to him for leadership now. He doesn't go to Wisconsin, where the fight is. He goes to Sarah Jessica Parker's place, where the money is. There is, now, a house-of-cards feel about this administration. It became apparent some weeks ago when the president talked on the stumpâwhere else?âabout an essay by a fellow who said spending growth is actually lower than that of previous presidents. This was startling to a lot of people, who looked into it and found the man had left out most spending from 2009, the first year of Mr. Obama's presidency. People sneered: The president was deliberately using a misleading argument to paint a false picture! But you know, why would he go out there waving an article that could immediately be debunked? Maybe because he thought it was true. That's more alarming, isn't it, the idea that he knows so little about the effects of his own economic program that he thinks he really is a low spender." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303753904577452793597495290.html
