I'll leave you to your delusions sir. we dont know about the negotiating and compromise for Obamacare, all that shit was done behind closed doors, remember? And you have your facts wrong about the Obama-Boehner deal... Obama spit on that deal. Fact is Obama is hell bent on raising taxes, thats fine, its his right he won. Enjoy the next few years when those that actually paid federal income taxes take a good long hard look at how they voted.

I come from a time and a place where I judge people by the content of their character; I don't give a damn if you are tall or short; gay or straight; Jew or Gentile; White, Black, Brown or Green; Conservative or Liberal. -- Note to mods: if you are going to infract me have the decency to post the reason, and expect to hold everyone else to the same standard.
When you campaign has soaked up more money from the pockets of wealthy people than any other election to date, you've gotta start pointing fingers before you super wealthy friends cut you out of the fancy circle. Look how much money was WASTED on super pacs this year alone. If that money had gone into the economy in a useful way, I don't know like using it to pay for the health care coming in, helping big business create new jobs etc, instead of lining your buddies pockets to help loose an election he couldn't win after they attached Paul Ryan to his campaign.
I would be blaming the people my friends already hate as well instead of blaming myself, my party or the fact that I was out of touch with all the voters that aren't rich or white. Offer something to, I don't know, the people who populate the majority of the voter community. No one to blame but Romney, Ryan and the GOP for screwing Romney on a running mate just like they did with McCain by adding Palin.
Republicans have had nothing to offer anyone other than older white males for decades. That's the basis of the entire Republican party, it seems. Do whatever it takes to help well-off, older, white males and fuck everyone else. Pay special attention if the older, rich, white male is a CEO or large business owner.
The first part is dead wrong because the last is dead on - the republicans did not come bearing gifts this election. It's been a problem from all parties in DC for decades - the federal government with trillions of dollars to spend on whatever fancies their interests. The deciding factor in elections these days is how well you convince people that the dollars going into the goverment will be spent out in their direction after the election.
I wouldn't mind seeing an elective religion class in schools, though I guess the churches and temples and whatnots themselves take care of that on their own time, don't they?

Don't kid yourself; the Democrats are largely the same, regardless of what they say they're gonna do. Both parties are pretty much controlled by and therefore interested in keeping the rich, white folks rich.
Maybe you don't, but that's your fault for not paying attention to the news when the law was being debated.
No, no he didn't. You're accusing both parties of not wanting to compromise when there is one party trying for a balance of both approaches while the other is fighting tooth and nail.And you have your facts wrong about the Obama-Boehner deal... Obama spit on that deal. Fact is Obama is hell bent on raising taxes, thats fine, its his right he won.
I wouldn't either, and I'm very much agnostic. Hell, if there had been a good comparative religious studies class at my high school, I probably would have taken it.
But keep creationist ideas out of science classes. Nothing is contradictory between creationism and evolution. A person can, in an intellectually honest way, accept both. They are completely different things and belong in different classes.
Sorry... ugh... if anyone wants to talk about it further, PM. Don't want to push the forum rules any further.
