The Blue Board

First off reasonabledoubt you need to educate yourself. Obama had what is called a super majority when he took office. That means he could pass anything he wanted & instead of creating jobs his priority was to pass a job killer. Obamacare.

Obama added 15 million to food stamps? It had nothing to do with the recession? He knocked on doors and encouraged this?

This was an inevitable consequence of a near depression. You know this as well as anybody. I'm not an obama supporter but the tired talking points that you guys use is just horrible and divisive.

I saw romney say that gas prices doubled under obama. A guy in this thread was bragging about 1.76 had under bush. Are we really dumb enough to user these talking points?

Well, thats interesting. I really wish Reasonable Doubt would just tell us what his proposal or ideals are.

What caused the Recession? In 2008 the major cause of that recession was the Housing Market crisis. Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac loans. I wonder who's ideal that was? Clinton and Barney Frank basically masterminded the "affordable housing" requirements that made lenders underwrite loans to people who couldn't afford a house. Here's an excerpt from a nice article that basically says both parties were to blame but of course, Bush gets all the credit for the Recession of 2008. FWIW, Bush has said that raising the % was a terrible mistake.

At first, this quota was 30%; that is, of all the loans they bought, 30% had to be made to people at or below the median income in their communities. HUD, however, was given authority by Clinton to administer these quotas, and between 1992 and 2007, the quotas were raised from 30% to 50% under Clinton in 2000 and to 55% under Bush in 2007. Despite Frank's effort to make this seem like a partisan issue, it isn't. The Bush administration was just as guilty of this error as the Clinton administration. And Frank is right to say that he eventually saw his error and corrected it when he got the power to do so in 2007, but by then it was too late.

Only part of it. 3.1T was solely bush. Coincidentally, romney was very much behind the stimulus but he just wanted a republican to pass it.

You gladly blame obama for what happened under his watch but you won't blame bush for what happened under his watch.

Look it up. Compare the change in outlays under dems vs repubs in the last thirty or so years.

If you think I'm lying, I'll look it up and post it. I have no issues calling u guys on ur talking points. No real conservative would ever vote for romney.

If Romney interupted Obama, he was only doing the majority of the country a favor. Only a moron like BLF would believe anything Obama said anyway

You guys do enough to make obama look good by using such ridiculous hyperbole

There arent any real substantive dem talking points.

What comment did I bypass? I may have just agreed with it.

Your obsession with dems and repubs undermines your value as a voter. Every republican I know claims to agree more with libertarian but none of them will vote that way. A libertarian would absolutely wipe both candidates in any debate but it'll never happen because people refuse to make their vote count and instead they fight over two parties that are exactly the same.

I am willing to admit that I am incapable of offering any amount of information to change your views.

A man's got to know his limitations.

-Obamacare: 1)why he spent the majority of his time shoving this down the nations throat with the aid of a dem congress 2) The massive amount of people that according to studies will lose their current healthcare due to this 3) The effect this will have on an already terrible job market with employers already coming out and saying they will be less likely to hire and will cut their employees back to 20-30 hrs/wk to avoid having to pay the "tax".

-Taxing of Small businesses and how this will likely worsen the job market.

As I said, I'm not a dem. I hate obamacare. But I also hate medicare part D. You repubs only oppose it when the other candidate does it.

You spend so much time demonizing the other party that you our forces you to act like yours is different.

For example, read the op again and tell me which side I chose. But if you read this thread, only one side jumped on me. FRANKLY, both repubs and denms are worthless. You can only find value in one if you demonize the other. Why not hussy super someone else?

This is the smartest post in the thread.

There is no reason to argue with someone with an elitist personality that already thinks they know everything because they won't listen to a thing that is said. The funny thing is, this is the exact attitude that Biden displayed in the debate. With that attitude no true change will ever occur. For true change to occur someone will have to bridge the gap between the parties. I believe Romney will attempt to do this, it may be just BS but we'll see. I know that Obama/Biden won't do this as there record has proven they won't and Biden continued to say "if the repubs will get out of the way on this, or get out of the way on that" during the debate. It is not the job of one party to get out of the way of the other, but instead for one to propose legislation that both can agree on and convince them on for the mutual benefit of everyone in this country.

You recognize that today post comes off as an elitest right?

And you under estimate how partisan america has become if you think romney will be able to work with anyone without completely watering down any product he offers. Those days are pretty much dead until we squeeze in another competitive party.
