Mitt or Barak?

[FelixDeCat]

I didnt see a poll, so here is one.

Im voting for Romney (not that it matters who is in charge anymore since the out of power party is intent on stopping all progress of the in power party simply for political gain and bowing to extremists in the public and private sector including 'hate' media outlets of both persuasions).

Mr. Paulsen ran for President in 1968, 1972, 1980, 1988, 1992 and 1996. He died in 1997. Doubtful he was a candidate in 2008.

 

[dawp]

where is the 3rd party selection? I plan on voting but for neither of those 2.

 

[trenchfoot]

Give the Repubs another shot at cutting taxes for the rich even more and deregulating even more and "trickle-downing" even more and allowing banksters and corporate crooks to run amok and allowing the government to be run from K Street again?

The only good thing that can come from that is more crooked Repubs going to jail.

I was referring to Paulson.....Hank Paulson....mastermind of the financial bailouts of 2007-2008. I had a lot of respect for him.

also, from my post history, if you don't realize by now that I'd never vote for romney even if he was running unopposed you are dumber than a box of rocks.

Barak joined the Israel Defense Forces (I.D.F.) in 1959. He served in the IDF for 35 years, rising to the position of Chief of the General Staff and the rank of Rav Aluf (Lieutenant-General), the highest in the Israeli military. During the Yom Kippur War, Barak commanded an improvised regiment of tanks which among other things, helped rescue paratrooper battalion 890 commanded by Yitzhak Mordechai who were suffering heavy losses in the Battle of the Chinese Farm.


Ehud Barak with Legion of Merit (1993)
During his service as a commando in the elite Sayeret Matkal, Barak led several highly acclaimed operations, such as: "Operation Isotope", the rescue mission to free the hostages onboard Sabena Flight 571 at Lod Airport in 1972; the 1973 covert mission Operation Spring of Youth in Beirut, in which he was disguised as a woman in order to assassinate members of the Palestine Liberation Organization; Barak was also a key architect of the June 1976 Operation Entebbe, another rescue mission to free the hostages of the Air France aircraft hijacked by terrorists and forced to land at the Entebbe Airport in Uganda. These highly acclaimed operations, along with Operation Bayonet led to the dismantling of Palestinian terrorist cell Black September. It has been alluded that Barak also masterminded the Tunis Raid on 16 April 1988, in which PLO leader Abu Jihad was assassinated.[5]
Later he served as head of Aman, the Military Intelligence Directorate (1983–85), head of Central Command (1986–87) and Deputy Chief of the General Staff (1987–91). He served as Chief of the General Staff between 1 April 1991 and 1 January 1995. During this period he implemented the first Oslo Accords and participated in the negotiations towards the Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace.
Barak was awarded the Medal of Distinguished Service and four Chief of Staff citations (Tzalash HaRamatkal) for courage and operational excellence. These five decorations make him the most decorated soldier in Israeli history (jointly with close friend Nechemya Cohen).[6] In 1992 he was also awarded the Legion of Merit (Commander) by the United States.[7]

Sounds a helluva lot better than Mittens.

So him or Barack would be good.

Yes! Absolutely!

I'm not sure what you mean by the "economy" but I would love to see competition returned to our economy even if the really big corporations are hurt by that.

If you mean by crashing the "economy" getting millions off the government tit and back to work, God I hope so.

If by crashing the economy we become finally independent of the ME for our energy needs, what a wonderful day that would be.

Obama has had four years to get it right and he has failed miserably. It's time for a new team and a leader to see if the damage can be fixed.

I worked for the same private bank from November 1991 until March 2008 when I 'retired' to start a small business. While it was not as successful as hoped Im thinking about reentering banking after a 48 month 'vacation'. That bank is in D/FW.

The so called financial/bank bailouts were a big fat failure and should never have happened.

The results don't surprise me because this forum leans so far to the left because so many people here are unemployed and have nothing better to do, this is the result of the Obama economy.

I'll side with this is a technical forum so we have more people with a brain.

Can't take the poll, third party isn't up there.

In your bubble, that is correct, we all hate america.

Not necessarily. One could simply not see much difference between the two. Or one could be in a secure state, like me. There is absolutely no chance in hell that Tennessee will vote for a left winger. Even Gore, nominally if not factually a native son, could not come close to winning Tennessee. Therefore I have the freedom to vote third party even if I do see a big difference between Obama and Romney.

And while I like Romney - or at least the Massachusetts governor Romney, the Olympics-fixing Romney, and the venture capitalist Romney, if not particularly the suddenly socially conservative, be-everything-to-everyone campaign Romney - and voted for him in the primary, he's no Gary Johnson.
