My point is that regardless of a D or an R it's the same lip service from some rich person looking for more of that fake $$$ to continue that lifestyle. So NO there is no difference in Big Government or Big Money. We need a new system and new leadership in all 3 branches of the government that is a TRUE representation of the people.

Believe it or not I am still a registered Republican as I haven't had time to switch to independent. And why am i a registered Republican declaring the Republican party as the bad guys or at least the worser of two evils. Facts show that this Republican party has done everything in their power to prevent universal heath care in any form and by so doing have set the United States into a class warfare. The tea parties agenda to fix government by eliminating as much government spending at a time when government spending is keeping the country going {I'm not saying this is a good thing but it is a fact} is more of a threat to the stability of the US than any gang of terrorists. I'm not saying I disagree with conservative principles completely but conservative economics at this time in this economy is suicide.

Quoting: AGC Until then, they'll continue to be slaves to their own baseless patriotism and nothing more. Being 'slaves to their own baseless patriotism' doesn't bother me and I suppose many of them think they really represent patriotism BUT what I'm trying to say is their patriotism is based on the foolish premise that 'free-market' capitalism is by its very nature patriotic when the recent market crash and real estate bust in 2008 proves nothing could be further from the truth. And what worries me the most is given the opportunity we will all become slaves to the billionaires and the lackeys who support the current right-wing Republican {Tea Party} agenda. Whatever you think about Obama and the Democrats, if you have been following what has been going on in Congress it is obvious that the Republican Party is most responsible for dividing this country along class and money lines - a division so sharp that is threatens the stability of the country.

If in a still weak economy where like it or not the government is the biggest employer and biggest payer of salaries in the US, to suddenly cut back on government would be a disaster and could easily create a major depression. What happens to those suddenly un-employed government workers? Does Romney really expect us to believe that there will be a magical renaissance of business hiring that will compensate? Not in this world. Unless Romney has an ace up his sleeve. Maybe he wants to create another war to take up the un-employed his policies would create. I could understand how some people may not be satisfied with Obama because the economy is still not 100% but he inherited a problem left by the previous administration and was dealing with a big handicap in that the sole purpose of the Republican party for the last four years has been to re-take the white house and congress to further their totally one sided big business agenda so the millionaires and billionaires like Romney can get richer still. Today's Republican party is a party of economic pigs. |

Today's Republican party is a party of economic pigs. Now in searching the web after the debate I found the 'conspiracy nuts' {yes, and I too am a conspiracy studier}, are suddenly spouting. They are upset that Obama was being too easy on Romney, after all you remember the way he walked over McCain in the last election. I was upset with what appeared to be a genuine warm handshake and smile for Bomney before the debate began. After-all this election has hardly been friendly if you have been watching the political commercials. And even the analyst on PBS was saying he could have got Romney in some obvious untruths such as the lie about him taking money directly out of Medicare. Every athlete has an off game and let us hope Obama's performance improves in the next debate. Personally I believe Obama is capable of walking over Romney in a debate and let us hope in the next one he does just that because unfortunately a fairly substantial part of the voting public is not voting because of facts or reason but rather by who wins {as it so appears} and comes out looking like the winner. Obama must convince the public that 'he really believes' that Romney as President is unacceptable and a threat to the economy and people of the United States. -Remember the great boxer Muhammed Ali who beat George Foreman with the Rope-a-dope? Next debate I will KO Romnery with 'the Obama Shuffle'. We have seen enough of Romney's Repulican BS. |

TRUE! And the problem with an un-intelligent voting block is it can be bought and manipulated by factors having little, if anything to do with the issues. Has the last 4 years where Republicans almost without exception did all they could to block at least 90% of Obama's agenda to help the country really reflect the good of the American people? Or in fact does it show that the Republican party and the big money it represents will do anything to gain more political power? This election is not between so-called capitalist and so-called socialists {sometimes even called communists when that is an out and out lie}; Rather this election is between a socially aware political party {the Democrats} and a group of economic political racketeers - the Republican Party of today. |

It started with one of Reagan's chief economic advisers who wrote an amazing piece in Forbes about how "The republican party has destroyed America". Then just a few months ago another one of Reagan's economic geniuses, the guy know as "the father of trickle-down economics", said basically the same thing. Charlie Crist left the party and speaks out against them now. and there are many many more. Seriously, I don't understand how anybody who is not a multimillionaire immoral lying sack of shit greedy pig faced white male could vote republican." Well said! Did you see the Biden / Ryan debate?
