Political Debate Thread

yeah, it's pretty radical to like my freedoms and not want the government to take all my money.

 

Wow...

In the first article you point out an example of a couple republicans involved in a fraudulant money stealing scheme. Do you know how many democrats/liberals have been involved in fraudulant activity like that or worst over the past 20 years? The number is much higher than the amount of republicans involved in that kind of activity. But there are always gonna be bad people like that on both sides so what's your point of pointing a few republican ones out and trying to act as if its only them or they somehow represent the entire party?

That second website link you post appears to be nothing but a George Soros /moveon.org style propaganda site aimed at telling lies and using trick psychology on dummies to make them believe republicans are evil. What's funny about it is the first 2 whining articles are about 1. how the rights of "a US citizen helping a terrorist are being violated? (and its being sponsored by a democrat Joe Lieberman by the way) and 2. How the rights of ILLEGAL aliens are being violated? Jan Brewer does not represent what all republicans believe, she's just one governor in a state with a huge immigration problem involving crime/major drug trafficing. Many of them may not be involved in any of that, but I still don't understand why these illegal aliens can't come over here legally, almost everybody else has/had to do it so why shouldn't they be required to?... it really isn't that hard..

If you really believe that republicans take people's freedoms away more than democrats than you are either a lying liberal who wants more control or just someone who isn't very smart to the truth. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to observe that liberals want bigger government (more laws) and republicans want lesser government (limited or reasonable laws) for Americans.

 

You're a joke

 

why cuz your a little boy liberal who isn't happy about last nights election results where your party got crushed? I remember semi arguing with you months ago when I told you this would happen, and you sat there with vague teeny-bopper comments and resorted to name-calling because you had no argument or real facts.

You can get all angry again little shiz, just remember its more than half the country that voted against your liberal last night, you're angry at all of them too I guess, according to you more than half the country is..."a joke" lol.

 

I went back and read some of the posts and of course, have to state what I feel:
To the guy who said dino's got killed off: there is no effing way caveman killed a t-Rex, or really any dinosaur
Next, where in the bible does it say when the earth began? I don't think it says the earth started 10.000 years ago
Last, it seems to me anytime you ask a hard question to a pastor/priest/etc. the answer is always, you have to have faith

Also, despite the supposed "gains" by the elephants, the donkeys still hold two of the three main checks and balances.

 

Eight years to get into a recession. We want out in two. So, yes, half the country is a joke.

I find it funny that you throw around insults and assumption with no evidence, and then have the nerve to point the finger at me. I know you're not going to bother looking at your post, but everyone else will.

Republicans are like 21st century McCarthyism.

 

Someone had to:
Sir, have you no decency?

 

Are you still playing the blame Bush for everything tired old strategy that isn't working anymore? Democrats had control of congress since 2006, many of the problems with the economy were because of agendas and stuff they pushed for and passed, like making it easy for low income families to get loans for houses that there was no way they could pay off, requiring banks to give those loans. That's just one example of many that got the economy so screwed up, but most of the ideas and bills passed that got us into the mess came from democrats. Bush did a really lousy job by trusting the economy to straighten itself out and not keeping an eye on things, he should have regulated it more to stop the things that were happening that didn't make sense.

Let's look at what Obama has done for the economy since taking office, borrow borrow spend, digging us into enormous debt. No real plan, no brains, just spend. He's like Bush X 10. These stimulus bills have done nothing but put the country into more debt than any other president in history by a long shot. He created a bunch of temporary shovel ready jobs that lay people off within 3 months, but no career jobs. Unemployment during the Bush years was at 5% average through 8 years, Obama after 8 months.. 10.2% unemployment.

The guy is nothing but a phony. Every time something goes wrong (which is like everyday for him) he blames Bush/Republicans that haven't even been in power in 2-4 years.

 

I'm a bit late on this, but exactly which freedoms have been taken away?

Of course it wasn't the 12 billion a month in Iraq that put us in the recession.

I never saw Bachmann as having a real shot at getting the nomination, especially as time passed. Not too surprised Paul got 20% though. Honestly Herman Cain would've been the ideal president to me, at least before the 'scandal' broke out. None of the other candidates (dem or repub) seem like the best option for the country atm. Each of the Republican options has a weak point. Obama has a bunch of weak points, but he has the Democrat voters on his side for the most part.
Outside just the Presidential race, I've seen somewhere that polls are showing that Dems may win the presidency, but as of now, the Dems wouldn't have a hold on the senate OR the house. Wouldn't that be hilarious if that's how the election ended up, with a Dem president and a Republican controlled Congress

 

Just saw this thread and wondering why anyone would want to mix politics with their gaming escapism. My only post here will be to admit the shame of having Rick Perry as my governor. See you in other threads.

 

I'd say I favor the Republicans right now, anyone should be able to see that the rich would mostly favor the Republicans, poor would favor the Democrats. The Democrats are more closely related to communism than Republicans who are neoconservative. Because of the current condition in the United States, you can't really say the US is failing, but you can definitely say the US is not getting much better, whilst the other countries are getting better, which displays the US as a failing country right now. The economy people wish to get better require a more Democratic person, though many Republicans that have done business are in the hunt also. But from now, it just looks like Obama is gonna be the president again.
