[quote:Anonymous Coward 24998071:MV8xOTg2OTAyXzMzNzUyODk5X0UyNEE5NEQ=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 24924771:MV8xOTg2OTAyXzMzNzM3NDA4XzE5NjVERTY0] Did you watch the debate? Nothing new. Both candidates repeating what you see over and over in the political commercials. However one point made again by Romney on his desire to shrink government {accept the military} is worth stressing. 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. [/quote] 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. :osuper: -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. [/quote]

Two political parties control the USA and some believe there
is conspiracy between them to maintain control and they are
usually working together. The last few years have proven this
to be false. In fact the US has never been so divided since
the Civil War. These parties have become diametrically opposed. From the time Obama became President top ranking
Republicans had only one basic agenda, to remove him from
office. It did not matter what his policies were automatically
they were against them. In fact the Republican party of today
represents nothing but big money and policies to benefit
the rich. If any of you believe the Republican party truly
represents the right to life and Christian right you and the
Christian right are very naive. Except that Democrats stand
for equal rights for gays and a womens right to choose which
often antagonizes the Christian right, there is absolutely
nothing Christian about todays Republicans - the fat cats
who only stand for the fat cats and the hell with the rest
of us.
And what will happen if Republican triumph in the coming
election. 1. The end to universal health care; Republicans
hate it and would rather have poor people dead and the
middle class deeply in debt. 2. Massive unemployment leading
to a full scale Depression; Republicans have sworn to cut
back on government spending and eliminate as much government
as possible and like it of not the government is the biggest
employer and payer of salaries in the US; so a big spending
cut backs by government will cause much more un-employment;
economic havoc and a world wide depression.
It has often been said that Democrats stand for big
government and there is some truth to this; But given the
choice who would you rather have in control, Government or
money fat Billionaires whose sole purpose is to enslave you
to their money?
