American Politics during the Obama Presidency

[QUOTE=Captain; 417516]When is this thread getting closed.

Instead of talking of chicas, all you fellas are just lamenting on politics. [/QUOTE]A little jealous?

Hint: Don't click the link if you're not interested. There are plenty of great discussion threads elsewhere. No one forced your mouse pointer to hover over this thread and depress the left-click.

And, there are plenty here who do participate in other threads. Walleye does, for sure. Toymann pops in every once in a while, posts a comment, and then manages to find all the other threads. I have on occasion. But, I'm not a budget monger, so my views don't resonate with the rest of the gang, and I try to keep my thoughts on chicas and pricing to myself, which isn't always possible.

The debates on how much you should pay a chica aren't terribly productive, in my opinion. The same could be said of debates about politics, such as those found here. But you don't see the folks posting here on pricing threads asking that they be shut down.

Good luck to you. Hopefully, though, we won't bother you too much with all this nasty political ruckus.

Capitalism and consumerism. Yes, they are the best of the ISMs. They are in our DNA, it's what we are weaned on, but do they make us happy or contented. Some for sure. I quote Saluk Sivaraksa (a Eastern quack, some will proclaim) ,

"Real success is not to conquer others, not to have more cars and money, but to appreciate what you have and how to share with others".

Multi-nationals, and globalization, they are the new colonial masters and religion, and the values they imposed, most are unable to resisit, in fact, they are blind passionate converts.

Not a greenie, but it's the parks and natural beauty in cities and countries I visit that I enjoy the most, not the malls and the latest gadgets.

I hope you watched this:

Bill Maher interview with Jimmy Carter on HBO last year. It seems to have been censored.

Are you ready for another black president? Herman Cain, very articulate right now. Let's see how poise he is down the road? I am just tired of the retreads that the GOP puts out. As far as Sarah Palin goes, please!

We all know that anyone who voted against Obama in 2008 did so out of racism, trying to deny him his place in history as the first black president. Therefore, anyone voting to deny Obama any historic first must be racist.

I certainly hope that won't be the case in 2012 and that everyone can put racism aside next year supporting Obama in pursuit of another historic first. For the good of the nation and the world at large, it is incumbent upon all voters to join me supporting Obama in becoming the first black former president.

Who Cares !

As long as he has some hot CHICAS like FLOR to recommend on this site he's got my vote!

If I could vote that is!

And if I gave a shit about politics!

I seem to remember a little guy in Europe with a funny little mustache that had a vision of a UNIFIED EUROPE and a world free of COMMUNISIM!

Guess what?

Europe is ALMOST unified and the world is ALMOST free of communism!

The European Union is almost complete but that country is paying everyone's debt!

Guess which country will be the Head of State?

Best cars in the world too!

Volkswagon will be the number one car company in the world within 5 years too!

Bought Audi and Porche while the rest are falling down the drain!

But oh yeah, we were talking about the USA!

Like I said, who cares?

I live in BA and will always keep BA as my headquarters and base of operations!

TL.

P. S. This is why I NEVER post about Politics!

Not my specialty and and not what I give a SHIT ABOUT !

AND not what this site is about !

Couldn't possibly be because of personal beliefs, values, etc. Had to be I has goaded to voting for Obama because I was afraid of being labled a racist. Ponderous.

Truth be told, you can count on Obama being re-elected if the GOP trots out one of their in-house wackos, ie: Palin, Trump, Bachmann, et al.

I stand by my prediction that Homer Simpson could beat Obama. It isn't that he is unbeatable, he is currently unelectable.

The minorities will finally be challenged. And it will put the American brand of democracy on another orbit, and we can be very proud of ourselves.

[QUOTE=Chezz;417609]That's one of the funniest posts I've ever read.[/quote]I hear that a lot.

[quote=]Couldn't possibly be because of personal beliefs, values, etc.[/quote]In the case of Obama, no it can't be. He has none. Perhaps, erudite Oldnewbie, you can be the first ever to specifically articulate any of BHO's redeeming personal beliefs, values and / or etc.

[quote=]Had to be I has goaded to voting for Obama because I was afraid of being labled a racist.[/quote]Sadly, it seems no one goaded you into attending English class.

[quote=]Ponderous.[/quote]Yes, your statement is dull laborious and clumsy. However, it is preposterous to claim anything other than the fact that the left has sought to cast virtually all opposition to Obama and his policies as being based on racism. Anyone asking any type of substantive question of the chosen one, particularly during the campaign was painted with the racism brush. There is empirical, statistical evidence that people routinely lied in polls leading up the the 2008 election and exit polls immediate following the election out of fear of being viewed as racist for not having cast a vote for BHO. What do you call that?

Welcome back, Oldnewbie.

Doesn't take much to get under your skin.

Clearly, a black GOP nominee would disenfranchise democrat voters who are too dim to figure out which black candidate is the one that the Left has handpicked for the purpose of continuing the wholesale exploitation of minorities for political purposes. The Left would seek to have Justice Thomas recuse himself, due to a conflict of interests, being black and all. Further, since we all know that white, conservative men are racists due to defective chromosomes, Roberts, Scalia and Alito will have to be excused. Just to be fair, they'll leave Kennedy, who's a white guy but clearly not conservative despite being appointed by Reagan.

So the court will be comprised of Ginsberg, Sotomyor, Kagan and Kennedy who will no doubt side with the plaintiffs and bar the GOP from nominating a black candidate. If left unchecked, allowing the GOP to brazenly select a candidate, specifically for the purposes of disenfranchising democrat voters, would be tantamount to a tacit approval of individual rights, including the right to vote, for non-statist republicans and conervatives.

[quote=]Doesn't take much to get under your skin.[/QUOTE]I have rhino skin. That said, if you've read the forum, you'll see that once in a while, I'll jump at the opportunity for a little verbal (written or oral) sparring, lest my *****-slapping skills get rusty.

It's OK, I know you suffer from lackofhumoritis, being a lefty an all, so I'll let you in on the secret that I am messing with you for comedic purposes. It's nothing personal.

[/QUOTE]WW it is very easy to list BHO's beliefs.

1. BHO.

2. BHO.

3. BHO.

Oh wait, you said redeeming personal beliefs, values and / or etc. Okay, here is my new list.

Regarding what the left is doing to the blacks, I believe Randy Newman said it best in a song and the title wasn't Short People.

Thanks to Paul Ryan and the Republicans' brilliant plan to kill Medicare (which is endorsed by most of the policy experts on this forum) in a special Congressional election today in upstate New York, the Democrat won!

The district is as red as they come. It went for W over Kerry, for McCain over Obama and even for the whack job Paladino over Cuomo.

Karl Rove and the right wing money bags spent hundreds of thousands on ads trying to save the seat.

The number one issue was that the Republican candidate had supported Ryan's kill Medicare plan. The Democrat hung that support around her neck. In response, older voters. D, R and I. Turned out in droves and voted Democratic!

So fellow mongers. I got some bad news and good news, both based on today's election and what is going on with national Republicans.

Republican national leaders are pushing budget cuts that are out of step with public opinion. They refuse to consider tax increases for the wealthiest that almost 80% of Americans favor. They are so opposed to everything and anything Obama, they risk alienating independents who do not like non-stop negativism. They have assembled one of the weakest roster of presidential candidates in party history.

So, the bad news from your view. Obama is very likely going to be re-elected!

But the good news is. You all will have four more years to rant and rave!
