I was just surfin the web because Madden ’09 was pissin me off (how a THIRD string QB gonna have an 80% completion rate and throw no interceptions against my aggressive Dallas defense? That Madden AI is bullshit) and I saw an article about how another well known Republican has switched camps and voted for Obama already. But he’s not of interest, I don’t rant on intelligent people lol. I read a comment that asked why the liberal media don’t cover the fact that the Obama Campaign Cuts Off Interviews With Florida TV Station. I figured; alright let’s see where the source of this is. If I told you, you wouldn’t click the link. Go figure it was them. But anyways the comments are on and off topic like expected, but what really bothered me is that some commentators are makin it seem like Biden didn’t finish the interview and stormed off or somethin. Or he couldn’t stomach the tough questions. Yeah, he was clearly irritated with the lady just mingling words and tryin to attack Obama, but he still answered the questions (though not with the same grace as Obama would). Anyways watch the video and tell me if the lady was just posing tough questions or stupid ones. I don’t think they were tough, they were just Republican. Askin about affiliations instead of askin about policy changes.
Anyone with a real sense of how the world works, would know that Obama isn’t going to make America any more socialist than it has been since the 80s and 90s (ok, maybe a little bit, but that’s to provide balance). You can’t have 8 years of the rich gettin richer and middle class getting poor. Cuz then it throws the system off. Companies don’t hire more employees because the tax breaks gives them more money. They just pocket the extra. And we already know how the poor act when they have nothin to lose. You don’t want Joe Six-pack or Joe the Plumber to become Joe the Armed Robber because he doesn’t have enough money to feed his kids.

The real risk of an Obama presidency isn't the 4 our possible 8 years of socialist-type policies, (even further unbalanced taxation, socialized medicine, etc), but rather the fear that he could appoint 2 to 3 overwhelmingly liberal judges to the supreme court.
ReplyDeleteThe damage of appointing judges who surely will refuse to read the Constitution will take 30-50 years to fix.
Before you rant on how the Constitution isn't a living document, look up what the job of a Supreme Court Justice is.
What Constitutional rights do you think is going to be taken away with when Obama appoints new judges?
ReplyDeleteI'm most afraid of (more) radical tax plans, increased government regulation, reduced civil liberties (Bush has already started taking these away from us, the Patriot Act is completely Unconstitutional) but socialized medicine scares the hell out of me too.
ReplyDeleteOn CBS's Sunday Morning this week they did a whole segment talking about how superior the French nationalized medical system is, then in the last 15 second they finally mentioned that is operates at a $14 Billion Deficit each year.
If you watched that interview where Biden had some questions he didn't like he spoke exclusively of "Tax Breaks" not "Tax Rates".
I'm afraid that the average American isn't smart enough to distinguish the two and that is really scary because Democrats aren't ashamed to prey on that fact. (I'm not trying to imply that Republican's are above preying on stupid people, just look at the south).
Don't get me wrong there are factors of Mccain's policy that scare me too, but from a Constitutional Liberitarian's stand point I cannot vote for someone who has endorsed "radically interpreting the Constitution to redistribute wealth"

The French Health system is mismanaged. Just because someone fucks it up, doesn't make it a bad idea. If I bought a Mustang and changed the oil every 60,000 miles and the engine dies on me, are Mustangs terrible cars? (Yes, but we aren't gonna get into that, lol)
ReplyDeleteHow does he plan on using the Constitution to redistribute wealth? What are his plans? You don't know and I don't know. All I know is that there are system of checks and balances which are in place to prevent. Do I think he will abuse his power like Bush and use fear to fuel his goals? No, but then again, he could be beating Michelle every night before he says his prayers (For the record: I DON"T KNOW IF HE IS BEATING HIS WIFE, I'M JUST MAKING A POINT). So I don't know what Obama plans on really doing once elected. And you don't either.
All I'm hearing are a bunch of sound bytes and no substance. Instead of posting a video from some who only is motivated by fear, find me the entire transcript of that interview. We don't even know what the question was on that radio show that prompted that response.
Franklin Roosevelt is held in many circles as one of the greatest presidents of all time. Wiki him, I'm not gonna draw the comparisons for you.
ReplyDeleteMany circle's also herald the 'New Deal' as the worst piece of reform in history.
ReplyDeleteFact: FDR's 'New Deal' created a welfare state.
Fact: FDR's 'New Deal' abolished the gold standard.
Fact: FDR's 'New Deal' established prohibition.
if you can make a cohesive argument in favor of any of those points I would like to hear them and rebut them.
