Steve Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hey HH, how ya doing? Hope all is well. As for the candidates the party makes sure they don't get exposure. Johnson has complained he didn't get invited to early debates so his campaign sputtered before it got started. Its well known and obvious that they tried to keep Paul out of the limelight. The party's money is behind Romney. Big donors are sent his way by the party leadership. As I said before there hasn't been a nominee in memory that wasn't hand picked by the party and the major contributors are funneled his way. Romney offers nothing. Anyone seen his economic plan. No one talks about what he wants to do. All he ever does is talk about Obama. The irony of the Republican party is that both Romney and Perry brag about how many jobs they created as governor but in the same debate will say that Obama has it wrong because government can't create jobs, companies do. What? Complete contrdiction. Romney's plan is the same '0le, same 'ole cut corporate taxes, capital gains taxes, regs, yadda, yadda. His plan will only make companies making money richer. There is no evidence that supports the notion that companies aren't hiring because taxes are too high. They are making tons of money. Not saying the corporate tax rate is high but its not the reason they are not hiring. Its not regulations either. His foreign policy is to pretty much declare war on Iran for allegedly developing nukes. If ever there was a bad idea its to start a war with Iran or even start bombing them. The American media and government has been scaring us about Iran. Iran won't do shit if it gets the bomb. Pakistan and North Korea are much more unstable and they don't do shit. Iran and anhy country with the bomb knows the last thing it wants to do is use or give it to terrorists which we'll know because of its unique signature. Its a deterrent against being invaded. They won't Israel as well. They know if they do they are a parking lot. You know who needs to fear Iran? The Saudis and to a lesser extent, the Iraqi sunnis. Anyway, I digress. As for Obama, what liberal agenda? The man has sold out to Wall Street. Its Liberals who are disapppointed in him. Also, you say "Liberal agenda' like its a bad thing...lol. Some of it is good as there are some things about what conservatives want that are good (limited government, protection of civil liberties). I know I'm writing all over the place. I just see all this BS from the Republicans and frustrated over Obama being too centrist and the Congress not wanting to do shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Well, our wonderful president has celebrated Hanukkah at the White House ... two weeks early. And the prat lit all the candles on the menorah at once! Doesn't this guy know anything? Doesn't he have any advisors who know beans when the bag is open? Beavis and Butthead are running the country. And the ones who hope to replace them are the Three Stooges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 http://news.yahoo.com/white-house-rejects-republican-payroll-tax-proposal-192618315.html The White House rejected on Friday the latest proposal from Republicans in Congress on a payroll tax cut, saying its costs needed to be offset in a balanced away and not with budget cuts exempting the rich. "We are open to looking at other ways to pay for this, but they have to be economically responsible and fair," White House spokesman Jay Carney said. "It is important that the overall package meet the standards the president has set." Republicans have proposed that the payroll tax cut be paid for with an extension of a pay freeze for federal workers, changes to civilian federal retiree benefits and other reforms, including gradual increases in Medicare health premiums for the elderly and a clampdown on assistance to illegal immigrants. They have also sought to tie the payroll tax extension - a key component of President Barack Obama's $447 billion set of proposals to boost hiring - to the approval of TransCanada's Keystone KL pipeline, which would transport Canadian oil to Texas. Mixed feelings about the buidling of the pipeline. It will create jobs, it may very well be needed. I do think we should be looking to ween ourselves off fossil fuels. One of the big problems I have with the Republican party is that they are in the pocket of big oil and have want to increaese our dependence on oil and pay lip service to alternate energy.

The USA are neglecting a major future market! Instead of pumping millions into research and giving tax breaks for clean energy they still give tax breaks to big oil and ignore all warning signs in regard to Global Warming, e.g. . Another field were they are shoveling their own grave. PS: China is pumping billions into research and production of sun collectors e.g.. At the moment they are destroying German sun collector companies by slashing prices by half or more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their only objective is to destroy Obama - nothing more - no matter what it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean the Republican party are commies? The party leader that seems to stand for family values is Obama with Newt at the end of the pack.

As a GOP candidate you can f@ck any women you want, married or not - as long as you pretend to be a conservative Christian. As the current GOP candidates show, it not about substance at all, just posture and saying what the conservative audience wants to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
