Obama 2012: The One Billion Dollar Man

I don't know why you bother posting, as all you do is your usual Obama cheerleading and everyone knows exacly what your post will consist of:

"Obama good, Republicans bad."

Partisan hackery and blind devotion to one party is one of the major problems in this country, not a solution.

I think Obama could run over the guy's puppy and he would still worship him.

He is pretty devout. Obama could break into his house, power-bomb him onto a cactus, and then take a dump on his chest on the way out the door and jpeyton would still be a cheerleader for him.

Well, this thread has taken an odd turn with blanghorst calling someone a partisan hack (also a blind party loyalist) and Nick getting into some fickle fantasies. But I actually just wanted to correct something I posted earlier:

Cool, enjoy the new bridge. What will happen in 5 years, when the bridge needs repairs? More borrowing?

The same thing that would have happened with the old bridge?

D'oh, I did say "new bridge". They're actually doing a major facelift on the old one. (It's going to take 4 months).

If the Republicans or Democrats were the answers to all of our problems, then theoretically, when either party controlled the House, Senate, and White House, our country would be a pretty little utopia with flowers and harps now, wouldn't it?

This whole talk of "team" and "scoreboard" is funny. Fuck your team and fuck your scoreboard. The "team" is the country as a whole and the scoreboard shows just 1 score.. The United States.

Exactly. Some of these guys and their blind devotion to "their" party are ridiculous. Obama has continued many of the same policies that Bush pursued, yet the Obama cheerleaders (like the previously mentioned one) who bashed Bush act as if Obama just gave birth to a litter of puppies and unicorns, as rainbows soared high and harps played in the background.

Well, at least you're not talking about sodomizing people with cacti, and shitting on their chests...

Republicans polling higher than Democrats just means that Americans are stupid. Do they not remember how Republicans fucked things up? And now Democrats are doing absolutely nothing? Maybe if Americans weren't such a bunch of brain dead morons, they'd stop voting for the same two parties and expecting different results.

I don't care if you vote Libertarian, Green, Socialist, Constitution, or whatever. Just vote for somebody other than these two crooked piece of shit parties.

I'm voting for the Squirrel Party. They'll bring more intelligence, reasonable discussion, responsible habits, and wire walking to Washington. Plus, they promise nuts for everyone - and see, they've succeeded already with P&N. :awe:

So what you're saying is the Obama is crooked and had to buy his presidency?
Just like he bought his birth certificate. With Nigerian 419 scam money.

hehehe

I like seeing Republicans polling high because to me it means not that Republicans are trustworthy, but that people do not trust Democrats.

Here in Illinois we have a Senate race coming between a crook on the (D) side and a liar on the (R) side! Oh goodie, can't wait 'till I get to cast my vote! Who do I want representing me, a banking insider who helped sink his family owned bank, or someone who lies about his military service?

Probably, like all the talk he did about health care reform being a "slam dunk" that would "easily" pass in the fall of 09 and the Democrats would ram whatever they wanted down the Republican's throats. Instead, a decent-sized portion of the Democrats opposed the bill, it didn't pass until late last year/early this year, and the bill the Democrats really wanted was completely gutted.

I'll hold off on taking any of his predictions as gospel. :D

LOL!

I'm voting for the Frisbee Party. They promise that if elected, they'll fly up on the roof and leave us the hell alone.

Oh how short people's memory is.

This. The American people largely have shorter memories than goldfish, but ignorance outdoes bad memory.

Anecdotally, I was talking to someone online this week who mentioned he starts bootcamp this month - and then dropped that 'it doesn't matter because the world will end soon'.

This was followed by 'Obama is really a Muslim'. There are a lot of people like this.
