    Ted Nugent said publicly that if Obama won, he would be either dead or in jail (implying some action against the president since he also said publicly that Obama should suck on the end of his machine gun). Secret Service announced that they're taking action and investigating.

    In light of this, I really hope Obama wins

    Put his money where his mouth is and take the standard deduction, pay the extra $90 some-odd thousand dollars he saved. That is, after all, part of the current tax code. I wouldn't expect him to write a check for some arbitrary amount to the IRS, or write a new tax code for himself, or for millionaires to follow his lead but if he is a man of his word, step up and take action. He can pay more taxes without having to change anything at all about the current tax code. Would I suddenly agree with him? No. Would I have a tick more respect for the man if he actually backed up his words? Yes, a little. My point is, it's nothing more than a talking point, rhetoric driving the wedge deeper into an already divided country.

    Nor should it based on one Presidents campaign talking points.

    Because of his race you wanted him to win anyways.


    I have come up with only 3 possible reasons for wanting Obama to win in November.

    1. You are simply a hardcore lib and you would vote for Josef Stalin if he was on the ballot.

    2. He has a D next to his name.

    3. Because of his race.


    Which category do you fall into?

    Maybe not Stalin, Lenin on the other hand...

    Gary Johnson may have an L next to his name. If Obama had an L or an R next to his name, I guess I'd be voting for an L or an R.

    He can only be the first black president once, what's the point of voting for a black president again?

    Please tell me what about this man with no record of accomplishing anything so enthralls you.

    Even Barney Frank says Obamacare was a mistake.

    It's tough because the places that real savings are to be had are in the programs that are the most popular. Medicare, SS, defense, etc. It's also hard because there are very few places that everyone agrees should be cut so whenver you make a cut, it's going to make some people unhappy. The stimulus is already done and over with so you can't "cut" it.

    I understand where you are coming from but for me, I think it is much more than a talking point. Even if Obama was indicted for tax evasion, it wouldn't change the fact that the tax system needs reform. The message is what is important, not the messenger.

    Agreed but we also shouldn't discount real problems just because they are adopted as campaign talking points.

    I know you are probably just being hyperbolic but please don't vote for someone as retribution for what some asshole said.

    LOL. I was probably gonna vote for him anyway. It'll just be interesting to see what the Nuge actually does when Obama wins. My guess is that he's full of shit and nothing will happen.

    Medicare and SS are dead in the water in their current form. Previous generations of politicians (both parties) have made sure of that and no sustainable level of taxation can save them. If politicians would actually say that, then articulate a plan for replacing them, we have a chance. The problem is that generations of Americans have been trained to be fully dependent on the govt for their retirement that they are seen as easy votes by those with no plan, but are quick to attack. All you have to do is lie a little about reform plans and that will kill it.

    EVERY VOTER IN THIS COUNTRY IS THE REASON THE US IS A SINKING SHIP. You are too stupid to think for yourself, instead you believe whatever chain email or 30 second commercial or opposition talking points you see. You are too lazy to actually research what is being proposed, instead you prefer to let others tell you what you should believe. You are too hard headed to look beyond party affiliation, race, religion, gender, whatever to actually know what you are voting for or against, instead you vote for the guy with an R next to his name or you vote for the black guy or you vote for the opposition party with absolutely no knowledge of their intentions.

    Nice rant. Was that your way of agreeing that budget cuts are easier said than done?

    Hmmm... Lets see - I can assure you that #3 is the biggest reason your not voting for him.

    I can understand not liking the other guy because you don't agree with what he stands for but just seems like a lot of hatred against Obama. I'm black and I voted for him because i agreed with more of what he was standing for then the other runners and him being black was the icing on the cake. I'm voting for him this time too but i'll vote for him being half white instead of being half black if that will make u fill better - LMBO

    Ignorance is truely bliss for the simple minded.

    I will play your game though. Point out 1 single statement I have ever made that would lead you to believe my hatred for Obama has anything to do with race.


    I have a simple message that is still far too complicated for you to understand. Not liking Obama doesnt make you a racist, biggot, or prejudiced. When you admitted you voted for him because of his race does.
