Lord, did I cringe! The dumbest of the dumb is what odumbo and the democrats rely on for votes. It's the same theme for decades....play racism, class warfare, BJ's with the unions and guberment handouts to get one thing: votes. All for the benefit of the elitist lefties with wanting total control over everyone. Watching the news the other night, and it was a democratic strategist on who said odumbo is really counting on rallying the African American vote (now we hear racism all over the news), the young and dumb (OWS slackers who want everything handed out to them and all their college loans PAID by others) and the Hispanic vote (no border security, secret amnesty program, blocking voter ID laws) to get him re-elected. This is what the great USA is being driven to by the democrats. They also DO NOT want their base to ever rise up and be successful because they have to shovel the same shit into their mouths every year in order to keep the votes coming in. This has been going on since Woodrow Wilson, our first socialist President. Once the democratic base realizes they have be fraud ed every year by the elitist lefties, then we can have real Change!
Fat chance. If they EVER come to recognize the real deal, they'll also realize that they'll need to start working for a living and depending upon their own efforts rather that just expecting a check in the mail each month. How much conviction do you think they'll have about that?
All the Public Sector budgets combined are in the neighborhood of 50% of GNP currently. That is the true tax rate in the US expressed as percent of GNP. Historically that has been the tax rate that kills an economy and I think we are seeing that play out right now. The Democrats idea that more taxes will fix things is just 180 degrees off. The Republicans idea of tax cuts without spending cuts also sucks[they never cut spending in spite of all the rhetoric they spew about it] and the 50% figure doesn't include the 100 Trillion in unfunded liabilities either so basically, forgetaboutit.. nobody is going to fix it, inflation and collapse will fix it. We will be fortunate if we have any rights left when the dust settles. Some huge taxes in the short run might be a good idea but no idea is any good if government is seen as the answer instead of the problem.
We aren't approaching the cliff. We have essentially gone over it if he is reelected. We also are without parachutes. The landing will not be pleasant.
Setting the bar so low as to be buried , eh? I figure you in a hypoxic induced coma would know more than odumbo.
I am convinced most voters are clueless on both sides, but the lefties just take the cake. How can people go to Obama rallies, wear Obama tshirts, etc. and not have a clue about a single policy of his? Just mind boggling. The only people that seem informed about their candidate are Ron Paul supporters. Whether you disagree with his policies or not is a different issue. Here's an example of a Romney guy, though it's not as bad as the Obama video lol. <iframe width="1280" height="720" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cFgOFGOF_Os" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Paul is certainly the only interesting Republican candidate and has large support among independents and those fed up with both parties. I believe the Republican party could have been re-energized by returning to its historic roots with a candidate like Paul, but couldn't win of course. Never the less it would have made for a very interesting campaign and perhaps signaled a turning point in U.S. politics. If your going to lose anyway why not go with a candidate that will raise real issues about the direction the country is moving in and at least make for an intriguing campaign. It's a real mistake to think that Obama is responsible for current problems. He is not. And in reality there is not much difference in either party. Of course on social issues the parties differ. But both are leading the country over a cliff. Perhaps one party a little faster than the other. That's all.
"We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds... [we will] have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers... And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for [another ]... till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery... And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." Thomas Jefferson
