U.S. Presidential race - Democrat Discussion

[Chonogo]

So tired of this stupid ass saber rattling. Was really hoping people would have gotten over this after 8 years of Bush.

We Americans love our wars.

Yeah.

This "story" is a load of shit.

Sweet, my hometown made the national news!

On a lighter note, some of you may know that LSU and Alabama played tonight in college football. What's interesting is that it has connections with presidential elections.

Since 1984, the winner of this game during election years has directly correlated with the party affiliation of the winner of the presidential election, with LSU connected to the GOP and Alabama connected to the Democratic party.

If you didn't watch the game, Alabama won a very close game.

Let me fill you in on how the investigation on finding and questioning the suspects linked to the attack in Benghazi, because you must only be looking for that information on Liberal web sites.

Vyxn, if you have the time, could you provide us with a list of "liberal sites" so that we can be further educated and know where we shouldn't go for information? Or, if it's easier for you, provide a list of "non-liberal sites" that we can trust will give us the right information?

It's exhausting to keep up, especially when we find out from you that places like the Examiner is not the conservative libertarian "rag" we thought it was(and claims to be), but just another "liberal rag". Perhaps you can edit a wikipedia(or conservapedia if wikipedia is a liberal site) page that gives us the lists so we can quickly determine whether to trust the source or not. It might be wise to put a big asterisk at the top that says "Site distinction may change depending on whether I feel like the information they put out is liberal or not."

Thank you in advance for your wonderful work in keeping us informed!

This thread took a dark turn last night. Good to see some of us still live in the 1980's Cold War era just like Mitt Romney does where Russia is our sworn geopolitical enemy.

Any chance obama or any democrat comes out and criticizes the unions? Probably after they vote on the 6th, but turning away help when your state needs it is baffling. Why is the governor and the mayor of New York ignoring the fact unions would not let people help unless they joined a union? This board is so liberal/democrat leaning it is ridiculous, where is the outrage? Why are none of you asking why unions can turn away help when states are in disasters? Why is obama doing nothing about it? Oh wait, he needs to jet off to Vegas.

Obama steps in and takes action: Conservatives say "Why is Obama meddling in state affairs! Leave them alone we dont need big government!"

Obama does nothing: Conservatives say "Why is Obama doing nothing about this? He needs to jet off to Vegas"

But as Wells said, the story is horseshit. I work for a utility company, and was listening to Hannity go on and on and on about this, which is probably where you are getting your information.

What in the actual fuck is it that a politician can do while standing in closer physical proximity to a natural disaster that they can't do via phone?

It's about fair and balanced. Liberal sources like Chis Christy are all praising Obama's reaction to Sandy. To be fair and balanced, fox news criticizes him, even if they have to make things up to achieve the balance.

One of the moocher 47% in NYC mayor Bloomberg even asked Obama not to come, while supporting him in reelection, and the liberal darling Chris Christy praised Obama's effort. It's fox seeking balance, by making shit up.

Obama has the capacity to engage in fisticuffs with a hurricane. He simply doesn't because beating down a hurricane would have looked worse for him than helping the victims. What a jerk.

[Felya420]

You want to talk about being divisive, the praise Obama is getting is across party lines. Sandy has unified independents like mayor Bloomberg, republicans like Chris Christy with a democrat Obama. It takes fox to look for a divide, even create one where it does not exist. It should be an example of the divisive rhetoric that fox is influencing.

What's next? Fox is going to dress someone like a pimp to try and get storm relief funds, to show how democrats just give money to pimps?

The one good thing that'll work out for people that really hate Obama is that they can just blame all their person failures on Obama. It's nice to know you've never personally fucked anything up, I imagine.

I think the reaction to the storm changed my opinion on Chris Christy. I saw him as a blow hard, but in time of crisis, it seems to be exactly what people need. Two thumbs way up for Christy, much respect.

I like Christie. I disagree with him about a lot, and I think he's factually wrong fairly regularly, but I don't think he's willfully bullshitting me, and I think he really is attempting to do his level best. Sure, he's blowhardy, but he's from Jersey, so I cut him some slack there.

Well, because nature if feminine and because we live with the Earth it would have been a very serious case of domestic abuse, beating up one of mother nature's children and all.

On Saturday night, Iranian MP Mohammad Hassan Asafari was misquoted by opposition websites and the Saudi-owned al-Arabiya as saying that Tehran had already stopped 20% enrichment. Asafari had only signalled in his comments to Iran's Isna news agency that Iran would be ready to temporarily stop enrichment to 20% if sanctions were lifted.

Gaurdian corrected a mistranslation. Iran offered concessions in exchange for lifting sanctions. So that more or less kills the idea that they're trying to keep Obama in office.

No it doesn't. It clearly shows that sanctions are working since they are clearly willing to negotiate. Iran is totally trying to support Obama's re-election.

[Wells]

It vindicates Obama's strategy at this time. Kalyyn was claiming that Iran was just trying to help Obama get reelected because he's weaker than Romney. That didn't stand up to reason then but even less so now.

I think it stands up for the exact same amount of reason whether they were cutting or would cut if sanctions were reduced. None. Iran is equally concerned with Obama as they are Romney as either one of them is likely going to get us into another war if the Iranian government doesn't stand down on the nuclear ambitions.

[Wells]

If they're equally concerned with Romney then why would they be doing this to keep Obama in office?

Because he and Ahmahowyoudoinajad have matching Muslim Brotherhood rings obviously.

I laughed incredibly hard at this. Best response ever whether intentional or not.

We're on the same page Wells. It is beyond retarded to even imply that the Iranians are trying to influence the election.
