Place Your Midterm Election Bets.

shh...you can't say the "s" word anymore, before they take you away, like they did to Amand....

Old fart!

When there's a socialist in the Oval Office, you can hide behind your HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE irrational hatred as if it isn't veiled racism. Until then, you're part of the problem.

Seriously, your counter to that is "veiled racism"?

Maybe this hasn't gone through your thick skull, but the reason why Republicans do not like the president is because his policies are detrimental to this nation, not because of the color of his skin.

"Veiled racism" is just saying you have nothing to go by anymore.

Lmao, all you have left is to call me racist? Keep on with that if you want, but people are sick of it. All it will do is make the next election in 2 years worse.

Don't worry, they will just call you sexist then.

if john kerry, al gore, bill clinton, jimmy carter, walter mondale, michael dukakis and nancy pelosi were all black you might be onto something.

Detrimental? They aren't the policies you want, but that doesn't make them detrimental or socialist, it makes them.... not the policies you like.


When you manage to come up with a real reason why you hate Obama the way you do, people will stop calling you a racist, because the reasons you give are complete hogwash. He's not a socialist, the economy has improved (even in spite of his policies), ACA hasn't put everyone out of work, etc etc etc. He's not a Kenyan or a Muslim, Solyndra/Benghazi/IRS aren't the apocalypse... You sound like a clown dancing around the subject without providing ANY ACTUAL reason. So yeah, you hate a black guy for "reasons" that you can't quantify, but it's totally not because he's black.

we hate all liberals... it doesn't matter what gender or color they are.

I've never called him a Muslim or a Kenyan, but even if I did argue that he wasn't a christian or American (as he claims to be) then that wouldn't even be racist.

The economy has improved in spite of his policies, thanks to entrepreneurs who continue to strive. The ACA has made thousands or even millions of people entrapped by part time only work, while taxing them for being in such a position.

I have given plenty of quantifiable reasons, Stimulus/Solyndra/IRS/benghazi/ACA/Russian reset/Isis/Ebola/If you disagre with me then you're racist etc etc etc. You just refuse to see anything else beyond his skin color. That makes YOU the racist bud, not me.

"The subtle racism of lowered expectations."

Liberal racism = to defend someone despite their actions, because of their race.

Yeah, proof that you haven't been paying attention to the country in the last 6 years.

It also doesn't explain our berserk hatred of the dutch...

But Jassik isn't a liberal, he said so himself. Never mind that he pretty much parrots anything the liberal media spouts on a daily basis, plus him defending Obama (but not really defending, so he says) pretty much any opportunity he can find.

But he isn't a liberal, and he didn't vote for Obama, and he doesn't support their policies. He said so himself.

Yes, when you hold people to a different standard BECAUSE of their race, that is racism.

The department of labor keeps metrics that invalidate your claims about ACA, the stimulus saved the economy from a literal meltdown, solyndra/IRS/Benghazi aren't a thing. Russia/ISIS he's handled poorly, you were actually making some kind of case until you said Ebola... Seriously?

You're the racist bud, not me.

I pay attention to actual metrics, not opinion news commentary and doomsday predictions. Would you like to cite some kind of evidence that any particular policy has had a detrimental effect on the country?

Typical "no you" evasion instead of actually addressing the issue.

Its been a very fun read, thanks guys. Seems like the main issues R's have is an issue with is abuse of the welfare/social aspect of the government. My first question is if its such a big deal(it is imo), what have previous R's done to fix said issue?

Im only 26, so I cant really recall too much of the bush regime. Was he active in thwarting the abuse? I seem to only remember tax cuts.

I find great amusement in the back and for and I dont really have a side because both sides make good points. In this period I think I would be called a moderate?

I dont think by electing a R or a D we could wave a magic wand and fix the issues in our country. Things should be done in phases. I for one think government officials make too much money. 174k per year(93mil) in congress alone. A 50% pay cut would give us more money to allocate to more important causes.

School is extremely expensive. A person close to me paid 100k for 4 years of school and owes 27k in loans. Depending what you go for, thats a lot to pay off if you are then stuck in retail after school is over. We should have higher learning for free or at an lower price. Other countries do it and I dont see their economies failing.(Admittedly, I dont know this as fact. I just see headlines sometimes of what germany or the uk are doing.)

The welfare system: Id like to see funding re allocated. Instead of giving people money to do whatever with, hire more auditors to verify that people actually need assistance. Able bodied people who are audited and found as abusers would be forced back into the workforce, thus pushing the economy forward.

Still on welfare, this may sound a little extreme, but I feel like we should institute ration like meals for people on welfare. Perhaps they shouldnt eat like royalty. Perhaps if they had food that would only serve as a means of survival they would be motivated work out of their situation to afford lavish foods.

I work a union job. There are some people I work with who tell me, "hey kid, slow down! we get paid by the hour." I feel as though those people shouldnt have the privilege of working where I work and getting such great benefits. I actually care about our operation, Ill work as hard and fast as I like. That said, I feel that we(union workers) shouldnt be exempt from regular evaluations. It would motivate people to continue working hard for the good of the company we are loyal to. Not to line our own pockets by working slow to clock more hours. Sorry for the wall of text. I had to get that off my chest.

lol... Oh wait you're serious, let me laugh even harder.

Talk to an economist.

Why does he parrot the liberal narrative to the letter than?

He must have political dysphoria or something.

A CNBC or MSNBC one or a real one?

Then why has the employment participation rate dropped so much since 2010?

Well Zellc, I'm glad you asked. You see any and all of our efforts have been misconstrued and misrepresented as "racist" and "evil" and "trying to kill old people and starve children" with the majority of main stream press towing that line.

So basically rather than make cuts we have been trying to halt the growth of big government and it's impact on our daily lives, however unsuccessfully.

It would take many hours to explain all the subtleties... but perhaps you can glean a couple of them out of the horse hockey we pitch around in here

I love how anything that isn't "conservative" media like Rush or FOX is considered liberal. Also, I don't watch TV, I don't listen to talk radio, I don't follow any major media outlet. I can't be parroting anyone, and I can't help it if you view facts as liberal.
