2012 US Presidential Election thread

[math is hard]

It was never my intention, just came out that way b/c (1) it is radical and (2) people like to go completely down that slippery slope that their almost at the bottom. It goes from I would support an aptitude test to I don't like poor people and don't think anyone should be allowed to vote if they don't agree with me... Sigh. I remember why I never got into politics to being with....

Hold on, are you now pretending that you didn't even say this?

I'm sure there are but you take out the entitled, already on government assistance people out and Romney destroys Obama hands down. If you are on government assistance, you should not be allowed to vote PERIOD.

you guys made it like he didnt do anything in the 4 years and just ate fried chicken and play basketball.


racists gonna race.

They are not saying that at all. They are saying all the people who voted for Obama did though.

Hold on, are you now pretending that you didn't even say this?

Yes he is, and I don't think that he is really embracing the martial arts way of life.

The cool thing about having a black pres is that some (not all) white folk can pretend to be oppressed.

(See ol'miss)

Even Joseph Smith didn't want Romney though. I mean, he sent out Sandy before election day

to prove a point. How do you feel about FEMA Mr. Candidate?

The second term was a pull up jumper that hit nothing

but mitt.....I meant net.

Just wondering:

For the Obama fans, what did Obama actually do that has improved the US since GW Bush left office? Bush was a strongly disliked President on both sides of the aisle and he gets no pass for his outrageous spending, but what are the specific areas where Obama came in and made true on his claims of Hope and Change?

How are we in a better position today than 4 years ago that you can attribute to President Obama?

I'm not a fan, so this doesn't really apply to me, but I'm going to answer it anyway

Nothing

Nothing changed. Nor would it have if McCain was in office

You guys give way too much credit and way too much blame to the person in that position. Do you really think he makes policy? Comes up with these numbers? Thinks up these programs? Makes these decisions? There are people in place that do all that already. The president is basically a relay system, for the real decision makers. Someone to blame

It's a trade-off. They get the job and do 4-8 years of taking crap, and then they're set for life afterwards

Hold on, are you now pretending that you didn't even say this?

I'm not pretending I didn't say that. I did say that but I also said I would focus solely on the idea of an aptitude test. I can focus on that point as well but for the time being I was shelving this discussion. I was refering to the fact that you equated an aptitude test to meaning I hate poor people or group x, y, z. Those were two seperate issues that we were discussing.

...... I will return to this later.

[Floyd1982]

Yes he is, and I don't think that he is really embracing the martial arts way of life.

Yawn dude.... Yawn..........

John was wrong about you

On top of being intellectually challenged, race-baiters are always racist themselves.

[Time Warner]

All of the people who are trying to throw racism into this election really do demonstrate a sad reality of a crippled nation. I feel sorry for anyone who has a brain that works like that.
