Brilliant!

Par for the course though right? Easy competition considering his opponent has never had a private sector gig. Not for long though. The contrast is too clear to deny. I hope you all see a winner when you see one.


WOOT!

    trickle down govt. is like Obama taking money from taxpayers and allocating it to where he sees fit and repaying those who put him in office! Its the same thing as millionaires and billionaires making a profit, except its worse cause they are petitioning the govt. to do the work for them and using it as a sign of their own compassion! LOL Socialism is a philosophy of failure, creed of ignorance, gospel of envy, and its inherant virtue is the equal sharing of misery!
    Theres no time like the present

    A man that stands for nothing....will fall for anything!

    All people need to do more on every level!

    They know he isn't a socialist.

    They also know he's black. And I think we all know which upsets them more.

    Why? Don't you know that racism disguises itself in multiple ways?


    Are we supposed to take your people seriously when their desperation to unseat Obama drives them to claim that he was not born in the US. That he was a mole - a socialist, and/or a communist? Are we supposed to take your people seriously when they claim that Obama is gay, that he's a Marxist. That he's a Muslim? And that he's not American, but Kenyan?

    And now we hear that Obama's mother was a porn star.

    I mean, at least with George W. Bush all we heard was that he was an idiot. Which is hard for even the majority of Republicans to deny.
    But the animosity aimed at Obama these past four years is really taking things to a whole new level. And where is this animosity coming from? Did Republicans voice the same kind of hatred and bile for Clinton? Nope. Hmm, so I wonder what could be fueling it then? :think:

    One cannot deny there are racists in both parties, all colors, genders, walks of life.
    But certainly not a majority. I actually feel any race issue has worked in favor of Obama.

    It's really a big copout to call the race card towards our President
    as something he has had to overcome, that's just not true.
    It was the Democrats turn after an 8 year rule. Obama had a huge turnout,
    record turnout of black votes. He may again.

    In all but a few any dislike for President Obama comes down to failure and frustration.
    It comes down to exasperation and difference in basic beliefs
    of the role of the Federal government and how to fix our troubles,
    not to the color of his skin.

    As far as the debate, wow! both did very well :clap:
    Whatever party one leans towards I think one can be proud of
    their candidate, a job well done.

    It makes my decision harder as I go back to giving our President more time.
    A basic feeling in my heart that he deserves this as much as past Presidents.
    There are some points he makes I agree with.
    But then my basic ideology of the role of government leans me
    to vote for Romney. He did a far better job than I thought he would
    and I can hope for success with him that I may not have with President Obama,
    hope might be failing there.

    Kudos to Jim Lehrer he did a great job and had good questions.
    I liked the respectfulness that was the theme of the debate.

    As far as 'trickle down' I've been told 'trickle up' is more what I describe in my circle of life
    economics, what we personally have experienced in business the last 20 years.
    All I know is the good climate for business has evaporated and we need it to be raining
    once again, a nice gentle soaking rain.

    exactly.

    you can not have a serious discussion with people who do not know the differences between capitalism, socialism, marxism, communism, fascism, aparthied, etc...

    So, basically you have no evidence of racism but yet feel that you can still go ahead and claim that anyone that doesn't vote for Obama is racist because....um....because.... because why exactly?

    Calling people racist with no basis is just as stupid as calling Obama gay, muslim, etc.

    If someone voted for Obama in 2008 doesn't vote for Obama in 2012, are they a racist propagator of the civil rights movement?

    Romeny himself has said he won't let his campaign be "dictated by facts."

    Which means I don't need proof to back anything up

    But do yourself a favor.. See how many posts here have harped on about birth certificates, middle names and black churches.

    A vote for Barack Obama is a vote for four more years of economic stagnation and weak foreign policy; as well as higher taxes, debt, and healthcare costs. A vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for real reforms that will bring a real recovery, including 12 million new jobs, tax relief for the middle class, better healthcare at lower costs, a balanced budget, and leadership for an American century.

    Marco Rubio just sent me this, we are down!

    Why are you guys pulling the race card? Funny as hell, ya got nothing! Weak.

    Romney....KILLING IT!!!!

    Were the people that voted for Obama in 2008 saying he was a gay Marxist, Muslim Kenyan? Umm...nope. Still, nice try...I think.

    It has been asserted in this forum that if Obama doesn't get re-elected it will because their is a great racial divide in the US which is preposterous because he wouldn't be running for re-election if there was.

    really? I agree, that is ridiculous and a big excuse.

    I don't think anyone should count chickens yet though, our Presidents has a huge following
    and there are Indys like me who haven't made up their minds and may not till
    they push that button.

    So you're suggesting that because a black man is running for re-election, there can't possibly be a racial divide in America? Do you understand the meaning of the term 'racial divide'? It means a large percentage of people are racist, as opposed to another large percentage of people, who aren't, or who are from an ethnic minority. Pretty simple when spelled out in black and white, if you'll excuse the pun.

    If our President does not get reelected it won't be because of the color of his skin,
    it will be performance. If it were the color of his skin, as some seem to think
    and in a negative way,
    he would not have been elected to begin with.

    It's going to be a close one! Fun!!
