The token question.

[line-em-up]

You vote based on your personal reasons. I dont agree, but i respect your right to an opinion.

Now, you believing someone like obama is looking out for you is hilarous. The man and his party has done more to stifle productivity and creativity than the repubs have ever hoped to. Just look at
the dept of education,with lower test scores than ever while spending more money than ever.
The dept of housing, passing reckless policies making it easy for banks to loan money to people who couldnt pay it back, nearly blowing up the financial system in the process.
The war on poverty, with the poverty rate higher now than 50 years ago when they said thissocial welfare bullshit will cure it.

You pops said it himself, he votes democrat because they pay for your family and that keeps them out of his picket. Ever wonder why your family is in that position? Ever wonder why your family, afters decades of being "poor"..... Are still poor?

You claim that they help blacks, yet more blacks are unemployed, unskilled, and living off the govt than even before desegregation.has your team done a damned thing to address that?
And im not talking about bullshit speeches and playing b ball.im talking about substantive hanges to bring blacks out of poverty and into prosperity.

Before the socialist bullshit, we were a hungry people, a hardworking people. We would bust ass and save pennies to take care of our own and our kin because no one was their to coddle them, and going to tthe govt for help was something to be ashamed of, and no man would stand for it if he could physically do work. That isnt the america of today.
Cant you see, They have trained not just your race, but a whole bunch of every race, not to hunt for their food, but to walk up to their dog dish at the first of the month and wait to be fed milk from the govt tit.

Whoever you choose to vote for is irrelevant to me, but dont go around saying te proponents of the welfare state are doing anything but fucking us.


But hey its sept 26th. Only 6 more days til these "poor" get PAID!

EXCELLENT post. You made some very good points. I think Obama is hitting at just the right time and taking advantage of his skin color and all of the people that were disgruntled with the way the repubs haandled thing the last 10 years. People are tired of the 1% controlling the money. They talk about it everyday. However, voting someone in who is going to destroy our country from the inside out isn't the answer.

IMHO, things won't change much regardless of whom is in the White House. The Office of the President is just the cherry on a huge pile of shit.

I can not stand either party. They are all fucking crooked ass liars that have so much money they will never be in touch with the real working man.

I do not know what the answer is but something has to change. I would gladly pay a few more taxes IF I knew them idiots would fix it.

Clinton was a cool guy and everyone liked him however he is the reason for the housing crash. Free money to anyone with a pulse was just a bad idea. I saw it all the time in my city. One person working at a 30k job, buying a 3000 sq ft house, and rolling two 50k cars. I also watched the crash happen in front of my face. In 06 they were finishing around 10-15 houses a week in my town. In 07 I watched all the builders in the city except one just vanish. It was crazy and they where all gone within a month.

Why do I vote for Obama?

The real question is why would I vote republican!

I am a minority. I am a Union plumber by trade. The majority of my family is "poor".

My Father put it in my head at a young age, that it made more sense to him to vote for the democratic party because it kept the family out of his pocket, although the republican party would be more beneficial to him.

Me voting for obama has nothing to do with skin color, although i will admit it was a proud day, and I did shed a tear watching a brown skinned man take oath. To be honest I voted for Hilary Clinton in the pre-lims.

Bill Clinton is really the only president I really ever stood behind, thus why i wanted to vote for hilary, and now that Barack is riding with him, I am voting for barack again..

If you think about it, when clinton was in office, we were all racing, setting personal bests, fuckin mad bitches, and having a good fucking time.

The general consensus of the board is that it hasn't been shit since 2004 and thats essentially when the dems lost control...

_____________________________

I know im not the only democrat on the board.. but i do laugh at people who do manual labor, who think a guy like mitt romney is looking out for them. And before you say anything about barack, read back about what i said about my father. I know where i stand in society. know where you stand

So you, and you're parents vote straight dems no matter what? That's fucking stupid.

16.059 Trillion as of right now

http://www.usdebtclock.org/

Oh, and come January, taxes are going to massively increase, defense is going to get a 50% cut and yeah, our embassies are burning and Iran is talking about World War. You actually have Dept of Ag agents going to schools to tell students their lunches aren't within Obama's nutritional guidelines. They actually took a turkey sandwich off a little girl and gave her chicken nuggets because nuggets were more nutritional and charged the parents for school lunch.

Then you have 716 billion taken out of Medicare to fund Obamacare which adds another 2.5 trillion to our debt. Same Obamacare which mean that 16,000 new IRS agents had to be hired to enforce it. You have new regulations on everything from the puddle in your yard (EPA says it's a navigable waterway and under their jurisdiction) to air standards (power plants are due to shut down by 2014 to comply with new regulations which means a huge chunk of our power generation is going to shut down).

Then you have his foreign policy. More troops have died in Afghanistan under his tenure than in the 8 years before. Egypt told us go fuck ourselves, Obama says we should stand against anyone who 'speaks badly of the prophet.' He didn't have time to speak with Israel but had time to go on the View, while our Ambassador was being drug through the streets, he was sleeping and then flew to LV to fundraise. I can keep going on. Now, why vote Obama?

[bobs94formula]

obama grew up with a white family in kansas....

Actually Obama didn't move into his grandparents house until he was going into highschool. Which was in Hawaii not Kansas. But it's not the traditional "white" household either. His grandpa was a leftist and asked commie frank marshall davis to be his mentor. He had a very socialist /communist upbringing by his whole family.

So you, and you're parents vote straight dems no matter what? That's fucking stupid.

i have no clue how my parents vote.. and no i dont vote straight dem, either, but i dont know every jow f schmoe on the ticket so unless the rep has a killer name, then yeah the dem usually gets it

Why do I vote for Romney?

The real question is why would I vote Democrat!

I am a white man. I am a trust fund baby by trade. The majority of my family is "wealthy".

not an obama fan by any means, and not indicating that this argument changes anything, but not real sure gas is more expensive, the dollar is just less valuable.

First post is full of stupidity. If you look to a politician to help you out, you are a fool. But that is the mindset today, IE gimme, gimme, gimme
