***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[david bowman]

I've heard enough over the last few days to think that the GOP has no intention of compromise and will continue to obstruct. They didn't learn anything. If anything they will double down on their BS

 

[lobotomybeats]

I'm still waiting for Hannity to agree to that waterboarding. 

...and this is one of the reasons Christopher Hitchens was such an amazing man.

AP: House Speaker Boehner says any deal to avert 'fiscal cliff' should include lower tax rates, revising the tax code
This party is not serious about anything

And dudes like Ninja try to came and Dems are just as bad as the GOP

i dont see dems RUSHNG to fix entitlements...

Remember getting rid of Medicare Advantage added 10 years to the life of Medicare.... Damn Obama, doesn't want to fix it.

 

[a baboon cow]

Question, Ninjahood, did you vote?

 

[RustyShackleford]

i dont see dems RUSHNG to fix entitlements...

What exactly do you feel they should do, and to which entitlements?

Because Obama has been pretty clear on what he wants with taxes.

The GOP is holding the country hostage not because they want entitlement reform, and Obama refuses to do it, it is because the want to keep the tax cuts for the rich.

STOPPING ACTING LIKE IT IS 50-50. That's bs

 

[david bowman]

The list of fools who have brought this disaster upon us certainly also will include New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the gelatinous clown who (a) hogged up a prime time spot at the Republican convention to sing his own praises; (b) embraced Obama as the hero of Hurricane Sandy; and (c) then refused to appear at campaign events in support of Romney's presidential campaign. Good luck with the remainder of your political future, governor. It is unlikely Republicans shall soon forget your perfidious betrayal.


Christie ain't even getting passed the primaries. Dude is exiled.

Middle class spending = Jobs. 

Period.

These were the candidates in the past year:

They ain't changing before mid-term elections. 

 

[Coupé It]

Marco Rubio is planning on making his first trip to Iowa soon.

It' already starting.

 

[RustyShackleford]

So going back to the tax rates of the 90s is socialism now?

You continue to amaze me with sheer amount of ignorance you can spew at one time

LOL. You do understand what the word OPEN means? DO I NEED TO POINT TO YOU ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE CUBAN BOAT LIFT? DO YOU WANT NUMBERS IN HOW HIGH THE CRIME RATE AND DRUG PROBLEMS ROSE WHEN WE OPENED FLORIDA TO CUBA? Come on man, we have so many issues here already, adding more people here FREELY will make things worst. You can't honestly defend that bro. So many factors as to why we have border patrol. Forget mexicans and canadians and cubans, YOU WOULD HAVE PEOPLE FROM ANY NEAR BY PLACES TO MEXICO OR CANADA dropping by into AMERICA.


YOU KNOW LIKE

RUSSIANS
CENTERAL AMERICANS
CARRIBIEANS
TERRORISTS!!


Come on man. You can't be that misinformed. Why don't you just leave your front door open so anyone can come in your house and share your TV and food?

You have to be trolling.

Drug War = Drug problems

Get rid of the War on Drugs, you get rid of the drug problems.


"TERRORSTS!!" You mean the same ones that the CIA was funding?




Supply-Side Economics = Keynesian Economics

 

[deuce king]

i WANT them going over da cliff...serves both of them right.

Dude, we're ALL riding in the same plane with the President and Congress as the pilot and co-pilot and you want to go crashing down.  What logic does that make, and what world are you living in??

Marco Rubio is planning on making his first trip to Iowa soon.

It' already starting.

I'm thinking he's going to have to wait his turn because Bush is making a run for 2016.  Unless Marco doesn't mind being the VP of choice.

No one with the last Bush will get the nominee again. Rubio is already being put to place.

[david bowman]

Who said this? Is this yours?

Robert Stacy McCain. Some republican journalist. It's from a bigger article about the blame game the GOP is playing. From blaming Sandy to saying that the voters weren't informed. And a big one is that Romney wasn't conservative enough.

FYI, I met a couple friends in special forces a few years back and they told me that we're lowkey fighting al-qaeda in central/south america. 

If you look a hispanic person what separates them visually from an arab sometimes? A beard? A tan? Thats it. 

Straight weebay moment for me.

Jesus. It's sad when someone gets lambasted for doing their job. Christie didn't politicize the hurricane and people are pissed about it. Sensibility gets you nowhere in the GOP.

I hear ya, but I do believe that Jeb Bush is making a serious run in 2016.  Whether Bush gets it or not is one thing but as it currently stands Bush has a better footing in the Republican party than Marco Rubio does.  If it comes down to Bush and Rubio, I'm thinking that Rubio will have to wait his turn.

So that leaves us Clinton vs. Bush in 2016.  Two family names that the American people know all to well.

 

[david bowman]

If that is the case democrats can still push the make history angle again. Get young women out i kind of don't think the youth vote is going anywhere. Voting isn't being seen as uncool anymore and it's easier to be informed with the Internet. And it's MUCH easier to mobilize the youth with the internet

The youth vote isn't just them good ol boys in their young republicans clubs.

Hillary Clinton had a better foot in the 2008 primaries as well man. Obama was an unknown. Look what happened.

Bush will not make it, I'm telling you.

If Hillary runs in 2016 I'm going to be pissed. But she might, because she never seems to give up.

I don't know why I bother reading this, it just pisses me off.

I dunno how Jeb is gonna overcome history. Your dad was seen as a failure, your brother is still so hated he can't even so his face 4 years later. Moderates ain't gonna drink the kool-aid a third time
