The Blue Board

Conservative-Rep. Liberal-Dems. Republicans are lobbyist for firms that are based in commodities and insurance. Democrats are lobbyist for firms that are based in construction and retail. Republicans want whites and the wealthy to think that they are in the fight for them. Democrats want blacks and the middle class to think that they are in the fight for them. Depending on where your firm is positioned, I suggest you vote accordingly. If you work for the federal, state, or local gov., I do not think that it matters, one way or the other. At that point, you need the best man for the job.

Obama got voted in on the hatred of Bush/Republicans and the next person will be voted in on the hatred of Obama/Democrats.

My opinion.

Elected because of Iraq, the economy, race, Bush sucked.

As I stated - Voted in because of hatred of Bush/Republicans.

Just donated to the campaign and yes, he very much has a shot. If he manages to pull off the nomination, he will crush Obama in the general and more importantly his ideas can really help the country. His 9-9-9 plan is just the first phase with the Fair Tax following it up (no federal income tax of any kind). 80% of large corporations polled (500) would open their next factory in the US. The remaining 20% would immediately move their HQ to the US. It will take more than just electing Cain to make this happen, but it is a start.

Dont you freakin dare say Bush sucked and not make sure to use a higher degree word for Obama. Obama and his administration seem to literally be doing the opposite of what the nation needs at every turn.

I am not part affiliated either. I know what history has proven out and I feel like certain things are painfully obvious but this regime is so puppeteered by lobbyists and etc its mind numbing. I don't know how folks get so mad at Obama, he is nothing. He says what he is told and makes nary a decision. They should have just hired an actor with a great speaking voice.

Every person will view each in their own light. It's not the die-hard republicans or the die-hard democrats that will win the next election. It will be the independents.

I am of the belief that Obama's term has carried far more negative publicity than positive. When people vote, they look into the very near future - but look a lot further back.

"What has X party/X candidate done for me?"

"What will Y party/Y candidate do for me?"

Each party has their majority that cannot be swayed. They're not the key. It is, and always has been, about the middle. And right now - I think that majority has a bad taste in their mouth. They'll want a new taste, just like they did in '08.

There are a bunch of debateable things that need to be addressed but if you dont back the following going forward, drink bleach.....

1. Flat tax. 20% to be an American citizen. Consequently redo the tax code paring it down to around 25 pages. Eliminate insane entitlements and tax breaks for companies that got them by buying politicians.

2. Lower taxes on small businesses. Nothing crazy but send a message that America is pro-small business.

3. SLIGHTLY raise tariffs. Again, nothing that will incite riots but send a message that we are pro-American made products. A ton of foreign stuff must be bought though so you don't want to price Americans out of a bunch of life items. Could literally be a 1/5th of a percent, just symbolic.

4. Address the oil price situation. I realize there are likely a TON of 50,000 dollar handshakes going on about this in Washington to keep the status quo but someone needs to win this battle for the American people. I guarantee you all it would take to get us 2.00 gas is someone in a certain position of power turning down a summer home in the Caribbean off the books.

5. The illegal alien issue must be addressed. Our health care system can not handle smokers, obese, and free loading illegals. Smoking is under attack thank goodness, the obese you just have to pray away, so that leaves illegals. Amnesty should be offered to those working on average 30+ hours a week for the previous two years or something like that. Make some form of bottleneck where everyone must register. I'd hate to levy it on them but make it where you have to show proof of citizenship to pay your wheel tax. Illegals wont go, within a year they get pulled over. They get audited for criteria decided upon and most likely deported.

The US gives amnesty to 20 million and 15 million get deported. 20 million that remain have to get on the freaking grid.

6. Invest in border protection. More drones, more boots on the ground, more intel personnel.

The politicians are in the game to convince us, the people, to vote for their team so their party can adjust the economy to suit their firms.

I've met him once and was not impressed.

Bush SUCKED!

Religion has been, and will continue to be, a point of emphasis in campaigning against Romney.
