I've decided that U.S. stands for "U Stoopid"

I agree with Chuck S.

As a people, we have "evolved" into a country of irresponsible spenders.

Who's going to stand up and say, "Check, please!" ??????

Which is odd, since the Republican Party has proven that it is neither.

That is no sh-t.

Yup. All of those CEO's, Exec's and board members in the good ol boy network who feel entitled to vast riches, mansions and Leer Jets even if they run a company into the ground costing everyone else their lively hood and placing the burden on the tax payer. Good idea.

Problem seems to be that each party does nothing to change the situation. It is not sustainable and only getting worse.

Todd is right. The Rep party is no better than the dem when in control. They spend just like the Dems(just like the Dems before Obama anyway). The fiscal conservatives have no where to turn. Third parties that would cause real change can not even get a second look or coverage in the media. We are to busy talking about abortion and gay marriage to even realize the problem.

To busy finding someone else to blame and listening to partisan idiots on each side. Sad state of our country at this time.

However it isn't just the parties but the SCOTUS as well. Bought and paid for at all levels.

I guess I understand that many were "surprised"...I'm hoping to find out why they were surprised...the polls and trends were clearly going exactly where the race ended up, yet many decided that the polls were a left wing conspiracy...how did you come to that conclusion?

You had to have accepted that conclusion to be surprised, didn't you?

I didn't believe Romney would win. I did have hope tho. Now no hope and no change just the sos for another 4 years.
It is kinda amusing to see the gloaters wallowing in their effluvia.
Too bad Romney didn't buss the Hispanic derriere, that would have
probably given him the election without the other 47%.
Does that answer any pertinent questions for you Odd?

Yes...apparently you are the only right wingnut here who didn't actually think Romney was going to win. I didn't peg you as the one wingnut who might have some grip, no matter how tenuous, on reality...so now I'm surprised.

The Demo party is better on fiscal issues?

If they do truly tax and spend that's a much better policy then don't tax and spend isn't it?

Yes. And they also absolutely kill the Republican Party on social issues.

Where the hell have you been the last twenty five years?

OK, now I get it . When a steel mill gets moved to china ,put on your jock strap.

He meant you shouldn't work so that you don't get put into the position of being laid off when the upper echelon decides to take the money and run.

Why them sumbitches!!!

Just tax the fuk out of them and send their companies to China that will learn them fukers!!!!

Or status quo...don't tax them while they move to China and send US workers onto the unemployment or welfare lines.

Them rich fukers arent spreading the wealth!!!

Wonder how many people were employed by the building of the leer jet and mansion?

How dare them fukers get rich in this country!!!!

Todd, Ryley is the only one who answered your question and he did it on the Romney thread. He was wrong but at least had a reason behind his thoughts:



The most relevant thing that was wrong was the "Republicans who stayed home four years ago rather than vote for McCain are not going to stay home again." I simply didn't believe that and stated a long time ago that the evangelicals would NEVER fully support Romney in terms of effort and money due to him being a mormon (They just VERY recently changed their language so they don't have to call Mormonism a cult). They fully propped up Republican candidates in several of the previous elections and were strong advocates for getting out the vote in their own communities. They actually kind of pulled a double-whammy of steering the party to the right and away from a lot of potenital voters AND then not even giving full support to their candidate.

Most Americans want to work. Do you really not understand how globalization is a driving force in lowering the American standard of living ( that means working harder for less, you like that I guess) for everyone but the .01%? Maybe it's too complex for a person making the above simplistic statement. Oh well.

AP, I agree...Ryley was wrong, but at least he tried to back up his thoughts with some sort of analysis.

It's all the guys...you know who you are...who were saying we would all be "surprised" when Romney won, that it would be a close one, but a win for Romney, that Romney was going to get 330 EC votes, that I was wrong (when I predicted very closely exactly what happened...the only state I missed was FL which I thought would be close, but Romney would win).

What those guys were basing their beliefs on is what I'm looking for.

Dick Morris, Rush Limbaugh, and Charles Krauthammer were all saying the same thing, only they were basing their statements on "the polling I've seen" (which strangely enough was not even remotely close) and that the pollsters were all lying to us to suppress the right wing vote (probably the biggest pile of schit comment ever made by any of those shittalkers)...so I'm also wondering how the guys here came to the same conclusions.

I'm guessing they just read what Krauthammer or Ollie had to say and substituted that for any kind of actual thought...which would be very true to form for most right wingers.

Fish on...
