Holy hell that heritage article is awful. Did they really argue that the stimulus destroyed 500,000 jobs because there were fewer people employed in January 2012 than in February 2009?Abbeten
ikr same heritage foundation predicted a balanced budget w/ bush tax cuts. Same heritage that thought a mandate was a great idea.

Did you really just ask if the Heritage Foundation had the audacity to go somewhere? Because you should already know the answer to that.

[QUOTE="Shmiity"]

[QUOTE="Vuurk"] Wut am i reading? Vuurk

Did I miss-speak? I'm pretty sure the poll says 57% Obama... which makes me a happy shmitty.

Yeah, but you implied that your faith in humanity would've been lost if they voted for someone other than Obama. That just seems kinda ironic to me considering what Obama has done while in office.

-Killed thousands of civilians in the Middle East via drone strikes which only have a 2% success rate at killing their intended targets.

-Increased the police state and military industrial complex

-Restricted individual liberties

-Increased the national debt drastically

-Damaged our economy by engaging in policies focused on the short term. We are f*cked in the long run thanks to what he has done.

-He has done nothing to end the war on drugs and decriminalization of marijuana.

I just don't see how it makes you happy that the majority of Americans don't have a problem with these facts. It seems backwards to me.

All of that is true. So what exactly is Romney going to do about all of this?

Absolutely nothing which is why I'm just as critical of that bloke.

I'm just as skeptical that Gary Johnson could accomplish any of his goals, because Congress would probably refuse to do anything to help, just like they are doing now.

In a world of 6 billion people, you're idea of land being completely public would never work. You have to be a realist.

I am a realist, those are just my beliefs. I want authority to be minimized as much as reasonably possible in this world. I want less government and private sector.

I think a lot of Americans are part of a cycle of expectations: they thought Obama was going to solve everything and now a good percentage of them believe that Romney will do the same....but this time for real!! I really hope that if anyone on this forum is voting they give Obama another chance, given how much inevitable disruption there was to his first term! Can't believe its this close either.

Filibusters are part of our democratic republic. It protects us from the tyranny of the majority, whether Republican or Democrat. Why do you think the Republicans won so many seats in 2010?

How about not spending and borrowing money to do that? And those are temporary jobs. How about economic growth so there are jobs for vets when they do come back? Is the Government now in the business of dictating to businesses to hire people just because? It's not the federal governments job to make sure people find jobs. And there are programs that assist vets already. Democrats (and Republicans) love attaching labels like "children" and "veterans" and "poor and disabled" when trying to pass bills which normally wouldn't pass individually. How did we take care of our poor and vets before Obama? The jobs bill is a sham.

Yep. Right after we end bush tax cuts, corporate welfare and the wars. But of course, any free market advocate like yourself knows corporate welfare is the key to jobs. Never mind these corporations already make record profits. It's okay though. Republicans do it too. I know, it's hard to believe but the Republican Party does it too.

Alright, I respect that. I'm quite ideological myself, yet at some point you have to focus on what is possible in reality as opposed to what seems morally acceptable. I understand your argument against the private ownership of land, yet I don't see any way in which it could be implemented without the use of mass force and control which is very authoritarian.

I believe me and other people can by teaching about social anarchism, starting cooperative businesses and public healthcare. Then we do away with the state and start a dirstribution system controlled by direct democracy.

I don't understand. At first you were making sense by saying that Americans are part of a cycle of expectations. However, I find it very ironic and hypocritical when you then go on to say you hope people give Obama another chance. Do you not see how this is a contradiction of your previous point? You're expecting Obama to accomplish something based on what he is saying as opposed to what his policies and actions have shown. I don't think it's a wise assumption that he just needs more time.

What I meant was that Americans are expecting a NEW President to fix everything, as though everything will be resolved this time just because they change leaders. People are saying that Obama didn't do enough, so how do they know the same thing won't happen again with Romney?

[QUOTE="Vuurk"][QUOTE="Vuurk"]

Why are people claiming this poll is biased? If someone doesn't vote for Obama because his name is listed as "obama" rather than "Barack Obama" and it is at the bottom, do you think that person is really smart enough to have a relevant opinion regarding politics to begin with?

Cool your sh*t. Poll isn't biased.

For people still complaining that this poll is biased, read what I said earlier in the above quote.

FFS stop crying about the poll being biased. Read above quote.
