Many of you will change your minds when you see your taxes shoot up (and they will-we've got to pay for Obamacare somehow) and your job opportunities diminish (ditto). And as for "Obamacare will pay for everybody"-ha and double ha. Massachussetts has a system where everybody must buy health care insurance, and if you cannot afford it, you're supposed to be able to buy a special state policy for the poor. One resident of that state has told me of this policy, but when he tried to buy such a policy, they rejected him. So very soon we will see Obamacare in all its glory, and just why so many of us knew all along Obama would be a disaster.
And BTW, what the President of the USA think of gay marriage is irrelevant. Individual states of the USA set their own marriage rules. |

Heh, nice Peter Laird. I'm proud to be one of the people that kept Mourdock out of office.
And without getting into too much of a political rant, Type 97 Chi-ha, it absolutely does matter when the person running spoke of a constitutional amendment banning it. And its stupid to have people's civil rights up for vote state by state anyway. Ideally, we'd get a constitutional amendment in favor of it. I admit it doesn't seem likely right now, but at the very least we have someone in office who will consider it. |

"Wahhh Obama didn't fix everything!". He can't fix everything, not without congress. And congress is currently weighing in the favor of the opposing party. And what do childish sore losers do? They impede the progress of the person who beat them in any way they can. Welcome to politics. It's unfair but it's the only system that we can have with the word freedom attached to it. Otherwise it would be "Shut up, you're too stupid to make decisions for yourself so we're making them for you." Be glad we don't have that. |

Well, guess what? I think I know far more about politics than you. Obama didn't fix everything? Exactly what DID he fix? The economy? It's worse. No cooperation from Congress? Guess who had ironclad control of Congress for Obama's first two years? Not the Republicans. And how did the Republicans win back seats in the House? Because Obama and the Democrats did such a wonderful job when the had the chance. NOT! Try thinking for a change. It's what I do. |

I want to say something intelligent here, but any political discussion invariably sees us devolve into a pack of snarling animals.
Obama, I believe has done a lot of good for us at home and abroad. He's not the best president ever. He's not "The One", as many hardline conservatives jokingly refer to him. Romney isn't responsible for the death of some poor woman. He's not a bloodsucking vampire who hates women. Let go. We need to sit down and listen to each other. We need to work together to bring ourselves out of these rough times. If we dig our trenches here and now, we lose. The United States need to realize that freedom doesn't mean everything is my way. This is easy for me to say because I got what I wanted last night. I'd be bitter and flippant had it not turned out my way, because I'm ridiculous. We have a Republican House, a Conservative SCOTUS, and a Democratic POTUS and Senate. It's 50/50, the way I see it. Let's just quit our bitching and get to work.

I'm in agreement with you, Voltron. Things Didn't go the way I wanted, but I'm taking it all in stride... we have a lot of work to do to get the country up and running again.
And on a more positive note, since we need some lightening up: ![]() |

Sadly, not here. My wife was gonna write in a good friend of ours who is incredibly politically minded, but there was no write option.

Let's say you have a restaurant and you find cockroaches in the kitchen. You fire the manager and hire a new one to clean things up. You check four years later and now the whole restaurant is chock full of cockroaches and garbage. The manager says that all the problems were due to his predecessor and that he is not responsible for things getting worse and that he can move forward. While he says this, he is blowing his nose and throwing his used kleenex on the floor. Now do you get the picture? |

I usually try to stay away from political conversations, but I will say that the next four years are probably gonna be like the past four years.... CRAP!
I voted for Romney, because Obama just plain sucked as President.
