If you can't tell, I'm freaking out. I'm genuinely scared.
You're freaking out because you actually believe there is a difference between the two guys. There isn't, other than the party they represent, which, is the same overall.
With the exception of a few propaganda driven opinions on gays, there is NO difference between two members of the upper class doing the bidding of big business.
We're being Poe'd aren't we. No reasonably educated adult could be this wrong about how the economy works. Could they?
I believe anyone who gets their news from FoxNews shares this same opinion. This is the "new" angle they're pitching. Foreveryoung just proves that he's a good listener to whatever they spout on that channel. It's almost word for word quotes from snippets of FoxNews dialogue.
Evidently everybody here is a brainwashed marxist.
Hey, what have you got against the Marx Brothers?
Too much higher education without questioning your marxist profs will do that to you.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.
When you firmly believe that the physical world is all there is to reality, I guess marxism is an easily swallowed pill. The hatred for creationism on this board and the full board marxism of the members here seem to go hand in hand.
He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot.
So, if I were to declare you the most homosexual man on Earth, would it be fair for you to be gang raped by whole gangs of homosexuals? After all, they could just say you won the title for being the most homosexual man on the planet.
Doesn't that sound like a reasonable analogy, you guys?
I know. Like I said, Obama won me over. I'm not going to try to convince you since this is a personal thing. May be Obama had some kind of voodoo thing that changed my mind about him. But I know what you mean. Most of my liberal friends are saying they think Obama failed big time as a president. Again, I see the problem here as having too much expectations in the first place. Back when I still was not happy that Obama won the nomination, I already knew that he couldn't work miracles. I was realistic then, and I'm realistic now. The only thing that's changed is my personal attitude about him.
It starts to get very sad when you start to wonder, what then can be done? Why vote? Why pretend it matters? The only thing right now that makes any sense is the Occupy movements.
An organization of citizens working together to better the conditions for ourselves, started by us for us? Yeah I think that's better than relying on a president.
Globally, the occupy movements have been not only very effective, but peaceful for the most part and aggressive when they had to be. They've been a demonstration of the little guy uniting to go up against the big government (and without guns.)
I'd say that's the best hope so far. Citizens working together to get what they need and deserve.
I'm curious, how are Romney's diplomatic fuck-ups on his London trip playing in the US?
As always comics are having a great time with it.
Are they getting air time? Are Republicans embarrassed by his ineptitude?
He publically came out and tried to save face, not much in the way of being embarrassed though. This is the Republican party, remember? This is nothing for them.
There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.
So we say to ourselves, ever since the founding of this country, you know what, there are some things we do better together. That’s how we funded the GI Bill. That’s how we created the middle class. That’s how we built the Golden Gate Bridge or the Hoover Dam. That’s how we invented the Internet. That’s how we sent a man to the moon. We rise or fall together as one nation and as one people, and that’s the reason I’m running for President because I still believe in that idea. You’re not on your own, we’re in this together.
You don't think it's dishonest to take from that entire speech, a single sentence, completely out of context, and spin it to mean something totally different?
You feel that's proper campaigning?
You don't feel that's lying to the public?
Everyone who isn't brainwashed knows obama believes exactly that....people who are successful did not achieve that success on their own merits.
It clearly shows Obama saying the complete opposite of that. Yet you remain convinced otherwise.
What amazes me is how a board of such intelligent sheeple can remain in such utter ignorance of the despot that they are supporting. It's like if they were Jews in Germany and could easily know that they were supporting the own demise and all of the blessings whcih they have in the most blessed nation in history.
No wonder they can besieve in such wild magic as the BB an evolution.
