Again, a one dimensional POV-Jackson
Yeah, the president can wage war as evidenced so well by Reagan, Bush 1 and Bush W. It seems to be a pathological problem with Republicans-they like to kill-to push other countries around. Must make them feel powerful-they must have something lacking in their character-perhaps it is the only way they can feel like men. Kill, kill, kill. The bomb, bomb Iran mentality.
The president can impact the economy so evident by Bush W and the Repub Congress from 1994 to 2006 where it appears they have pushed this economy to a near depression-the worst economy in about 70 years. McAngryOldGuy would continue that as well as increase the debt, even more than Obama might, with his tax cut, tax, cut, tax cut mentality.
That reason alone is a reason to vote for Obama. We know what the Repubs will do-ruin the economy, increase the debt. We don't know what Obama will do. At least, voting for him allows us some hope.
McAngryOldGuy offers us the same old shit that has nearly ruined this country. Hopefully, Obama will offer us something different.
Suerte.
Stowe.
[QUOTE=Jackson]I agree, and so for me the decision boils down to this issue:
Who is best qualified to be the Commander in Chief?
John McCain: Annapolis graduate, Naval officer, aviator, former POW, 30 years of foreign policy experience.
Barak Obama: None of the above.
Thanks,
Jackson.
BTW, if you don't think it takes some stones to land a jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier, then you should talk to somebody who has done it. That group would not include a certain college professor.[/QUOTE]
Gotta agree with the disgusting pervert Stowe
[QUOTE=Jackson]We're in a war, remember?
We were attacked, remember?
Every war-time administration has run up huge deficits, remember?
Thanks,
Jackson[/QUOTE]Yes Jax we were attacked, by 19 Saudis and another guy from somewhere else, Trenton NJ I think. I remember seeing it on TV, I haven't forgotten. And for anybody who has forgotten, Rudy Giuliani will remind them.
Yes we are in a war, but strangely not with the people that attacked us, kind of like invading Sweden in 41 for the attack on Pearl Harbor no?
Punter, my brother, same thing for you, the two biggest deficits this country has ever had have been by Repub administrations with Repub Congresses, Ronnie Raygun and Shrub. Both of those deficits were from essentially the same thing, corporate welfare. Punter I have sat with you at Exedra and listened far to often to you extolling the virtue of this President, sorry brother but it's the truth. Calling Dems "tax and spend party" is a great sound bite, it's just not true. Of course taxes will be going up, they have to, somebody has to pay for the last 8 years. Let me put it to you like this, if you buy a new truck you have to work to make the payments right? We (Los Estados Unidos) are behind on the truck payment brother, the repo man is coming, we gots to pay it off.
Jax this isn't a war it's a spending spree, weapons, defense contracts, and support contracts. Stowe's right bubba, can't spend more without earning more. Running up deficits to buy guns is cool if you make somebody pay for it. I just don't think it's fair to saddle my Grandchildren with the debt.
The only conservative member of this board to consistently ask "what the fuck are these pseudo-conservatives doing?" has been Syd.
Chicago Tribune endorses Obama
For the first time in 161 years, the Chicago Tribune has endorsed a Democrat for president. Now I think I will keep my subscription to that fine newspaper.
The editorial board also termed the selection of Sara Palin as VP candidate to be "irresponsible".
Stick to the facts you shine drinking hillbilly
[QUOTE=Punter 127]I don 't have republican or democrat tattooed on my ass like you do, so I 'm not boxed in like you are.[/QUOTE]The only tattoo on my ass is "Exit only no entrance!"
Motherfucking Cocksuckers
[QUOTE=Punter 127]Oh and speaking of Reid and Pelosi what have they done in the last two years to cut spending, where is all the defeated or Bush vetoed legislation they pushed?
For that matter didn 't those hypocrites promise to cut the funding for the Iraqi war?
Tells us how they couldn 't do that because it would look like they were not supportive of the troops.
Then tell us why they promised to cut that funding before the 2006 election.
Oh and whatever happened to impeaching Bush? You do remember that don 't you?
Hell Congress has a lower approval rating than Bush!
Speaking of the war, have you forgotten about Afghanistan? You know that 's that little place Obama wants to send more troops too.
I will tell you this Daddy given the options we were given, I would still pick Bush, so there you have it "my brother ", run with it!
==================================================
Oh, FYI when I buy a new truck I write a check for it!
Have a nice day Daddy![/QUOTE]Fucking Pelosi Congress sucks, you don't stop a war by not funding it. I'm not so naive to think we can just say "whups our bad we fucked up so now we are gonna take our shit and go." I don't pretend to understand how a country can make a monumental mistake such as our invasion of Irak and then disengage from a conflict like that. Too bad Colin was so disgraced by the UN thing, now that's who I wish I could be voting for this election, I bet he could get it done.
I haven't forgotten Afghanistan that would be the Shrubies that forgot that place. I was never in opposition to the little regime change thingy we did there.
Do you really write a check when you buy a new truck? Union graft must be pretty good if you can do that. But then again trucks are pretty cheap these days.
