2012 Elections in the USA

[QUOTE=Jackson; 424675][blue]Greetings Everyone,

I am hereby invoking the Canitas Guy rule wherein at least 10% of SnakeOilSales's posts must posted in other AP threads.

We wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that SnakeOilSales is a purely political blogger, would we?

I'll leave it to SnakeOilSales to count his reports and determine if no more than 90% of his posts are in the political threads.

Thanks,

Jackson[/blue][/QUOTE]Seeing as SnakeBoy claims to have lived in Argentina for many many years, all he would have to do is attend a dinner party at the clubhouse to clear his name. I think the chance of that is very small as I am quite sure he has never even been to Argentina. Gauntlet has been thrown down dude, now prove me wrong. The Thursday / Friday dinner parties are great and a very good value. That is, if you really exist in Argentina. The ball is now in your court SnakeBoy. Happy Mongering All. Toymann

It is for the lazy and intellectually dishonest to lump Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq together, as if they were the same thing. It is also a liberal crutch / canard to trot out the Military Industrial Complex as a boogey man.[/QUOTE]Just follow the money trail. They say that when you are lost in the wilderness, just find a stream and follow the flow.

[QUOTE=Doppelganger; 424681]I love the way Snake likes to harken back to the Nam, which he knows nothing about and was probably before he was even born / hatched.

Partner, they were not using sling shots in Laos unless you consider something called SAM's or SPAAG's and made in either China or the old Soviet Union a "sling shot".

This, like so many of your posts demonstrate, you don't have a clue as to what you are talking about.

Maybe you should Google the two listed items above and get some idea of what our air crews were facing, God knows the ground troops had it much worse.

One thing US politicians need to under stand about war, the first rule of war is there are no rules.[/QUOTE]Please point out the post where I mentioned anything about Vietnam.

[QUOTE=SnakeOilSales;424710]Please point out the post where I mentioned anything about Vietnam.[/QUOTE]Everyone please note that SOS ("Save our Sycophant") is correct. I won't be holding my breath for the next time.

It was in fact Black Shirt who trotted out the revisionist version of the activities in French Indochina. While I may not agree with Black Shirt, he has contributed to the forum, which is in stark contract to SOS/MOPD.

I was laughing my ass off reading that bull sh*t. The article (at the end) even points out that they have no proof of any of their alleged findings. It is a genealogical website trying to promote their business with this fantastic fairytale. Like I said, I have more slave blood in my than has Obama. I also have a legally-obtained SSN, which was acquired immediately after my birth in my birth state (where I resided for the first 21 years of my life).

I'll wait for you to arrive outside, put you in a choke hold, dump some chloroform on your face (which I will have obtained from my sicario boys at the Colombian restaurant next door) and drag you comatose a block and a half to the Kansas City to have my way with you for an hour or two. Sounds like a plan!

According to this, the numbers look dismal for Obama.

Article explains why we are talking birth records and tax returns instead of the economy. I like Brooks. He is fiscally conservative but moderate on social issues. I am actually fiscally conservative but liberal on social issues. Too much God in the Republican party for me. And wierdly I have done better financially under Clinton and Obama than I did under Reagan and the two Bushes. Sometimes I think I am out of synch with the whole fucking world.

By the way you sound, your closest candidate to your views might be Libertarian Gary Johnson (better than BO social liberties, and better than MR on pocketbook issues)

You might have a new political home (Libertarian)

Fred

You are libertarian- for small government for both social and economic policies. The opposite would be populists- large gov interventions both in social and economic policies. The party / ideology of the president is unlikely to be related to the economic performance. Budget and fiscal bills must be passed by both the chambers of Congress and signed by the president. Most of the time, the government has been divided government. So nobody can significantly change the content of the budget from the previous year's budget. Monetary policy is run by the Fed, an independent agency insulated from the chief executive and Congress. Plus, the Federal govt spending only accounts for 25% of GDP. How could they influence the whole economy? We just need competitive labor force and innovative industries.

Snake you can not possibly be that stupid.

The bombing campaign of Cambodia and Laos from 1965 to 1970 was to counter supply and support facilities located in those countries during the war in Nam. Those interdiction sorties were flown in direct support of the war in Nam and are one in the same with that conflict.

Again your posts display your lack of knowledge and ability to address the topic in an intelligent manner.

Clearly reading comprehension is not your strong suit, as I have never mentioned Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos in this thread or any other on this forum.

Obama leads Romney in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania:

I guess those working class voters in these states really DO care that Romney utilized (now) illegal tax avoidance schemes, offshore bank accounts, and shorted his own national currency.

That Conservatives are religious zealots is a deliberate distortion built upon Soviet style disinformation. I am a hardcore Conservative and God has nothing to do with my politics, excluding, of course His role in guiding the Founders (as described by them, not me) and that whole concept of God-given rights imbued upon us by our Creator (understanding that different folks believe in different creators) thingy. In fact, never in my life have I encountered a true Conservative trying to force religion on others. To the contrary, uniformly across all of the Conservatives that I know, they are for religious as well as personal freedom, even if that means having no religion. The best example of who is for religious freedom and who is against it can be found in Obamacare denying religious institutions and individuals their First Amendment rights to practice their faith. True Conservatives believe in upholding the Constitution, which stipulates the LIMITED role of the federal government and is incompatible with institutionalized discrimination against any Americans (gay, black, trans, latino, even people from San Fran).
