The Blue Board

Bush spent an entire THIRD of his presidency at his ranch. Don't remember people being mad about that.

not saying you are wrong but dont remember his being gone that much

Your kidding right? The name Cindy Sheehan ring a bell? Hundreds of protesters camping outside his ranch.

so if "non-taxpayers" make up over 40% of the US citizenship & Obama's ratings teeter at 50 %...
he is now supported by 10 % of the working class .

sounds about right .

your rating is a 97

I can't wait fit November.

now that you mention it i do remember her camping out in Crawford Tx wanting to have a face to face with Pres Bush at the start of a 5 week working vacation ... you have a good memory my friend

you dont like my 97 rating ??? if you look at my earlier posts within the thread you will see that i am not post padding but trying to have a civil conversation about someone in politics ; i shouldnt even post in these threads b/c i feel so strongly about some of these issues but i def get trapped into opening my big mouth

I totally agree with you on SS and Medicare. Do away with SS. I'm paying into something I'll never see. F that. Do away with it.

Infrastructure. Infrastructure and more Infrastructure. Thats the big word to me as well. Millions of Jobs would be created. Untold amounts of money sunk back into the economy. Its the name of the game in my mind.

But the economy is not as close to turning the corner as some thinks. Still a ways to go.

No way.

Agh, I got sucked into the political talk again. IMO, Obama is a big gov't, big spending, war mongering, liberty destroying, tyrant. He is in bed with banks and corporations and is in over his head on the economy. The national debt continues to go crazy, and the spending and government programs continue to increase. He signed the NDAA into law and has authorized the assassination of a US citizen without due process of law. If you don't know about the NDAA, you better 'axe' somebody because some of the provisions of that bill are flat out scary. Not only did Obama not deliver on his campaign promise to shut down Gitmo, but through the NDAA, US Citizens who "support terrorism" can now be scooped up from their homes by the military in the good ole USA and delivered to Gitmo to be detained indefinitely without due process of law. Of course Obama said his administration would not enforce the law like that against citizens, but that's why we have the Enemy Expatriation Act floating through the legislature now which will allow DC to strip your citizenship without due process of law and then send you to Gitmo as a non-citizen to be detained indefinitely. All the while without you being given the right to ever see a Judge. The TSA and Homeland security get more and more invasive and powerful, and the list goes on and on and on. That being said, Obama is not the only person deserving of blame because the legislature keeps feeding him bills that compound the destruction of our once great nation.

So the repubs are our only hope right? Not necessarily. Romney, Gingrich and Santorum are not that far off from Obama on big gov't, big spending and liberty destruction, they just want to spend the money differently. Santorum put on a nice clinic last night about how much he likes to spend. Romney is the same and he and Santorum soundes like a couple of ducks quacking back and forth at each other on stage last night. Paul and Newt are the 2 most intelligent and knowledgeable candidates in the race, who at least make substantive points. I don't like a lot of Newt's substantive points, but I can at least respect the fact that he is a smart guy and is making informed decisions on his positions. To me, Paul is the clear choice. He wants to restore power back to the people, return to the constitution, eliminate the FED and stop the absurd spending that is going on. Of course Paul won't win for many reasons, but I think he is our only hope this go 'round.
