Nobody has an original opinion anymore. All I'm hearing is a regurgitated narrative. "I can't believe success is a bad thing these days". No one at all sees success as a bad thing. Then when you support the president, you're a black liberal on welfare.

Abortion, I couldnt possibly care less. The ONLY people affected by abortion legislation are the people that want one. The people that dont agree with it cannot possibly be affected by it.
Global warming. The US could shut down every pollution generating machine in the country and we would see zero effect as the Chinese and other 3rd world countries would continue to ignore it.
Illegal immigration. Its a national security issue. If a bunch of uneducated mexicans and make the trip, what is going to stop a few hundred muslim killers from doing it?
you posted far left minded websites. so kind of hard to believe what they said.
No. There are plenty of stupid people too.
Are you being serious?
This is exactly what I'm talking about. How in the world are you supposed to have an informed opinion if you don't know facts? How is anyone supposed take you seriously? Just because facts don't confirm your bias doesn't mean they're not facts
My post references an article in the Washington Post that outlines how Nutting's article, while technically correct when looking only at budget years, was highly biased. As I said, if credited spending signed by Obama to Bush, and gave Obama credit for repayment of TARP funds that were approved and disbursed under Bush.
Not sure about Forbes political slant in their reporting, but they do have a couple editorial writers that definitely lean left. Politifact has been proven to gloss over facts that were damaging to the left.

I dont care about you enough to share money with you, no. I support programs that help people help themselves. Just because you're poor doesnt mean a rich person should have to help you. You're poor and he's rich for a reason. It's not a wealthy person's job to take care of the poor.
I dont fully agree with that. mainly that some people are poor to no fault of their own. I am all for giving people a chance to go from poverty to making a nice life but the problem with obama is. He wants the poor to stay poor and keep depending on the government. that way the government becomes more powerful.
It's hard to say that anyone is poor to no fault of their own when we have people crawling under fences and floating in boats to get here with nothing but the shirt on their back. There's always a way to survive, some people just arent willing to do the work. Our culture has led us to believe that everything is meant to be easy. While our grandfather's grandfather lived on the land and ate the food that he grew, we're a nation that wants to search for a job on the internet and we're upset that our foodstamps wont buy food that's already cooked for us. If you're poor, it's your fault.

I don't get two major issues in politics:
1. Abortion.
2. Same sex marriage.
They should not matter to anyone. If I had a daughter and she was a skank and got pregnant, she should be able to have an abortion, who cares? Does rape fit into the "no abortion" rules? Same sex marriage is just dumb, WHO CARES? It makes no difference to any of us if Bobby and Joe want to get married, not a single difference. If they can't get married, they will still be gay and they will still be in a relationship together.
This country cares more about stupid things like those and buying assault rifles than anything important.
The funniest thing to me is how many people claim to be a republican but clearly have NO IDEA what they're voting for or supporting. Anyone I know that "claims" to be a republican would technically be worst off than they are today minus the fact gays can't get married, you can't have an abortion, and you get to keep your gun.
Stupid people in this country.
There are only 2 groups that care about those issues. Theocrats, and people that can profit from being for or against them. Normal thinking people that have nothing to gain by those issues simply dont care.
Republican is the lesser of two evils. I think republicans are jackass bible thumping morons. I agree completely with you that we shouldnt be wasting time talking about gay marriage or abortions, its fucking nonsense. With that said.................. Romney is a business man and that is what we need. Obama wants to buy you lunch with the money he stole from your wallet. He doesnt know anything about business because he's never had a job. He thinks the way to grow the economy is to hire more people and grow the government. Everyone in washington right now is a jackass...... all of them. republicans and democrats.... the republicans want to give power back to the business owner and take power away from the government, democrats want to do the exact opposite. Grow the government and attempt to spend our way out of debt. I think it's best that we go with the side who wants to shrink the government. The smaller they are.... (hopefully) the less than can fuck up.
Obama wants the campaign to be about anything but Obama. He's the worst president in american history. His crowning achievement is saying "yes" to the military. The same "yes" that any president or presidential candidate in history would have said. He's the quintessential talking head speech reader for the democratic party.
I don't like Romney, I'm not a huge Obama fan either but he has done some good that I have seen and felt, but I won't vote for him. Personally I don't think Obama or Romney are the right answer right now, I just look forward to if Romney does get elected and can't "fix" the country what die hard ill informed republicans will say then. Nobody can fix the country in a term, Obama even claimed numerous times he can't and that most of what he's doing will be seen down the road.
If Romney would drop the whole "good ol' hard working American" attitude and stop acting like he's some down to earth man than he may not annoy me as much. Listening to his wife speak last night was more than enough for me to not even give him a chance when I vote.
