The issue with Romney is his thoughts on abortion..etc.
Not trying to get into a debate on that, but the ultimate focus needs to be on economy. I really think if he didn't take certain stances on those issues, he would be a clear winner. But at end of day, ppl still care about social issues as well as economical.
I hope to god we stop having bond buying by the govt n printing this cheap money. No QE4.
You also look at GDP growth n you will see, the 2. Growth is in large part due to govt spending- this quarter, they spent 12% more on defense contracting than previous numbers. Of you take that out, that GDP number is of course going to be more like 1.7%
This GDP number also comes just before election n ppl who don't know better and vote have the false idea that GDP is improving.
Same with unemployment but that's a whole other topic
He's now engaged in 3 wars without congressional approval: Egypt, Libya, and now Syria, His Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, told congress that the US military now takes marching orders from NATO and The UN.
Holy shit. All those pics in the first post made my DAY. Like the all-stars for modern political joke pics. Amazing.
Hopefully people who fucked up and voted for him the first time have woken the hell up and will do what's necessary to get this country back on track.. The opposite will happen if he's given power again.
here's what's gonna change if Romney wins. Obamacare will be repealed and all that money that we're not spending on healthcare will instead be devoted to propping up the defense industry for another decade long surge of bloated military industrial complex making shit no one will ever fire. The world still can't beat our Los Angeles class subs, which were commissioned in like the 70's or 80's.....but we're in "desperate" need to build dozens more of the newest model that the pentagon doesn't even remotely feel is necessary. Our current sub fleet could sail undetected into the middle of any of the worlds maritime fleets, surface...have a couple mexicans trumpeters get out on the sail bridge and play a tune.......then submerge and pwn the whole fleet.
So while i'm all for lowering the govt's budget, if all we're gonna do is spend the same amount of cash just in different places....i'll stick with the democrats cause at least some poor people will get help somewhere. Yeah it shouldn't be done that way but it's better than the other side. What we really needed to have done was elect Ron Paul....you wanna talk about fixing our monetary policy? Have either of the two assclowns running for president talked about that? No, because their parties are positioned nicely under the spigots of our credit system. The Fed runs independant of the govt and that's something that has to stop. The president "supposedly" picks the Fed chief....it's likely more he's told who to appoint. But after that the Chief is off the plantation, he shows up infront of congress to explain himself as a gesture of good will. Congress can actually not do shit to him. Watch youtube videos' of Ron Paul working Bernanke over.....but for all the sense he makes in those exchanges, it's all for nothing. Bernanke just sits there and smirks....let the little congressman have his say i'll be out of here in an hour.
