They have a number of very viable candidates. Is your memory so short that you don't remember how many "viable" candidates the Demoncraps had in 2008? (I know that was a long time ago. At least it seems like a long time ago with our "campaigner in chief" being in office over 2 fucked up years with things only getting worse.)

 

BTW, here's a series of interesting comments by a conservative blogger. And it happens that he is a person of color. (Hope you can stomach it without calling the guy some name like "Uncle Tom" or "Oreo").

To tell the truth Hugh, I don't think many of us who voted for Obama thought he would be able to do much his first term after what he was left by W and his motley crew to deal with. The country is fucked not because of Obama's shortcomings, but because the Repubs had 8 years to totally destroy the country. Hard to fix in just 2 years or so what the W krew fucked up totally in 8.

 

In fact it will probably take the Dems three more administrations to fix what the Repbufoons wrought in 8 years. Why so long? Because your guys truly screwed the pooch and drove the economy to the brink and over playing their war games for profit and fun and other assorted crimes for financial gain, to the severe detriment of the country and the American people.

 

If the Repubs were in again it would be just as bad, or worse for the majority of Americans.

 

Please do tell us what the Repubs could/would have done that would have us doing better. I'd love to hear it. Share your solutions. Tell us what platforms you would endorse that would save the country now after W's Follies of the 8 years he was in office.

Hmmmm. Gee. Reagan and Poppy Bush didn't issue official Easter proclamations either per this hard rightwing source.

 

I'll look forward to Fox's report on why they all hated Christianity and their kudos to Obama for lubing it too mutt. LOL!

 

 

 

But how much ya wanna bet Reagan and Daddy Bush didn't honour any Muslim holidays either? For a guy who is often charged with being a closet Muslim, you'd think Obie would be on his toes a bit more. His popularity at the moment is at its lowest point ever, and this doesn't help any - even if a lot of hot air. The wingnuts vote - and the Teabaggers have shown enough strength to elect candidates or at least swing elections. Ignore this large voting block at your own risk.

 

Remember that Obama praised the USA's "Muslim heritage". Huh ... WTF is that, the war against the Barbary pirates? For someone supposedly highly intelligent, Obie has a habit of putting both feet in his mouth.

 

He must publicly respect all religions - or NONE. Is that so difficult to figure out, even for a follower of the Great Pumpkin? (And note that the White House did have a Halloween party. ;) )

 

 

Quite frankly, I agree with those who claim Obie is a secular humanist who professes Christianity only for political reasons. Too many voters would not vote for an admitted atheist.

"Too many voters would not vote for an admitted atheist."

 

Yup. I believe many politicians just do lip service to religion for the votes it will bring them from the brainwashed religious 'believers'.

 

Saw some articles recently on Abe Lincoln's religious beliefs/nonbeliefs. A letter from an old lawyer friend/partner of Abe's before he went to the White House was brought up that showed Abe had a lot of misgivings about religion, but Abe always played the religion card. An interesting article. I'll see if I can find the links.

Ran across the story. Here's the link on Abe's religious beliefs:

Obama largely ignored the recommendations of another panel, his deficit-reduction commission, in his 2012 budget proposal.

...

 

 

 

 

Obama's debt plan is to the right of Simpson-Bowles:

Superficially, the Obama plan and Simpson-Bowles are very similar. So I called Marc Goldwein, policy director at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, to better understand where they diverge. His numbers surprised me. The White House’s plan is, if anything, substantially more conservative than the Simpson-Bowles framework. Here’s how it breaks down:

 

Over the next 10 years, Obama cuts $600 billion less from defense and $250 billion less from health care. He raises taxes by $450 billion less, and because Simpson-Bowles includes a Social Security reform while Obama merely calls for Social Security talks, he gets $300 billion from that pot. So of the $1.5 trillion difference, about a trillion dollars come from Obama’s more modest defense cuts and tax increases — both of which are normally understood as liberal priorities — while the remainder is a mix of Social Security and health-care reforms, some of which conservatives like, some of which liberals like.

That Barry is a socialist.

The point is is that is does. Moreso than any other POTUS ever. He's had Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, etc. stuff going on.

 

The burns the TeaBaggers asses then too bad. You said it yourself: respect them all, or none.

 

I'd prefer none. But to tell lies about what he is doing is just beneath you Flash.

Interestingly, some of the founders weren't religious or believed in God or were Deists. http://freethought.mbdojo.com/foundingfathers.html

 

Americans still like to have a Christian in the white house even if they themselves aren't practicing the religion. They know what a Christian will suppoesedly do morally and ethically. I also think that a Jew could successfully run as well as we've went from calling ourselves a Christian nation to a Judeo-Christian one. Morally using religion as a guide, Christians believe Jews would do the same since we both share the 10 commandments.

 

An atheist wouldn't get votes. A christian or jew has a 'code' (10 commandments, Jesus' sayings, etc.). An atheist to most people doesn't have a code.

 

If there were no 911, a non practicing moslem could be elected IF he was a Republican, I think. I think an Atheist could get in if he were a Republican. The reason I say that is that the Republicans are the most religion conscious of the two parties and so if they accepted that person not being a Christian then everyone else would with regard to religion.

 

As for Obama. I'm surprised at how centrist he is. He's not the liberal a lot of folks thought he would be. He kept some key Bush appointees and had some people who were part of the establishment in key areas. Fed Chief for example who was NY Fed chief.

 

He hasn't shaken up enough things for those that voted for him. He hasn't governed as an outsider coming to Washington to clean it out. If Republicans are honest he's no where as liberal as they feared I think. Doesn't matter, he'll be domonized by Republicans anyway because he won so decisively. To be fair, the same animosity would have been hurled at a Republican if the roles were reversed.

 

As far as the national debt and such, I think it would have been increased significantly had McCain won. He talked of bailing out everyone as well. I don't think it would have been nearly as high as Obama though. So, I think if Republicans are honest they would concede that.

 

I honestly think their problem with Obama is he's not their man. Its about power. Its about the power of the office and not having your party there. Its not about debt, jobs, etc. If their man had the same debt and numbers they'd have ready excuses as well. Again, the same would happen if the roles were reversed.
