Obama Trails Santorum, Leads Romney in Core Four States (FL, NC, OH, VA)

Another debunking of the myth of Romney as "Mr. Electable."

Handcuffed by bitter crybabies who would rather pad their pockets instead of representing the actual wishes of the people who elected them. (See Republicans). I think this November is going to show us that Americans don't like Republicans anymore.

No Rat, Obama has not done a fine job. A fine job does not include a drunken sailor spending spree and increase of our debt even more. Whatever the party. You can't increase spending without increasing income for extended periods, it simply isn't feasible. Ask the millions of Americans who are fighting with credit card debt now. Want to reduce our debt? Look at every department and tell them they are going to get 10% less this year than you got last year. Do with it what you will. Notice I didn't say cut out any departments or a decrease in the increase for the next fiscal year, I said a decrease from last year.

I'm not sure I agree with government health care, because I believe a person's health care should be between the Dr and the person. Insurance is something paid for and contractually obligated to pay their allowable amounts. Now insurance decides how much they pay for a service and who they are willing to pay based on whether they're on an accepted provider list. Why should it matter if I'm at home or visiting my family in Alabama when I get sick or if I'm injured? I've seen gov health care, a perfect example from when I was in the Navy. The crap this administration pushed through congress is not what we need. Our dollar is so taxed it's pathetic. It wouldn't be nearly as pathetic if the taxes were used wisely. Look at the Canadian's. In 1989 the USS Coral Sea pulled in to Halifax. I bought a pack of Winston Light Kings on the open market. Paid $4.50 US THEN. They use a sin tax to pay for health care needs aside from normal taxes. That way when the bad people who use food stamps buy cigarettes they help pay for their own health care.

Do I believe Obama has done nothing? Of course not. Do I believe Americans don't like Republicans? More like we shouldn't like some of the weak son's of bitches who've been elected. Grow a pair of balls and stand for at least some personal responsibility. That would go a long way towards getting my vote whatever party you choose to affiliate with.

I didn't actually have time to read all that but thanks for responding.

Damn. And that was my most eloquent response ever.

Fine. I read it.

I'm waiting for it to come out in Cliff's Notes.

Oh, and its time for Obama to tell Afganastench, "Goodbye and Good Luck.". Fuck that crazy ass place.

Along those lines, it appears that Bush has been gone long enough that it is now okay for conservatives to say in public that Iraq and Afghanistan are disasters.

Our Troops Should Be Out Of Afghanistan. Yesterday.

You'll have a long wait. I pay so much in taxes I can't afford a publisher.

A&P's in Jax must do pretty well for you to be paying a lot in taxes. Here and I thought you were a man of the people.

Slim Pickens' body was never found so he was officially listed as MIA. But

odds are he didn't make it

What a way to go!

Speaking of that great movie, I ran across this clip. Major Kong is a dead ringer for Bush, all the way down to his pronunciation of the word "nucular":

I just voted for Santorum and Paul.

Vote early and vote often!

Voting several times is a perk unique to Illinois. It's like ACORN that's a whole state.

The turnout is especially strong among the deceased community.

I'd like to take a personal moment and thank God and Al Gore for the best golfing (non)winter of all time. And thanks to Cleveland Golf for my new set of buttery irons. And special thanks to the Industrial Revolution, which led to the processes that built these super-fine irons, while pumping out the gases that gave me the opportunity to enjoy these sticks year-round.

It's all good. AGW, NGW, bsGW - whatever. Can we do it again next December-thru-March, please?

Again, many MANY thanks. Gracias and merci beaucoup.

While you're at it, you should thank the oceans, which are now in the La Nina cycle, which are largely responsible for the wonderful winter/spring.

Just proof you can make a sustainable living if one is willing to get off their ass. Of course whent the gubmint finds out your making a sustainable living, they take a pot full of it to pay horrible people not to get off their asses.

The federal gubmint is the backbone of the American way of life. They set a standard of efficiency that is the envy the private sector.

I'm not going to stand here and let you badmouth the United States of America!

Absolutetly - La Nina. And La Pinta and the Santa Maria too.

I don't want to leave anybody out. The IPCC, Andrew Watts, NASA, NOAA, the Daily Mail, East Anglican emails, the Discovery Channel, TWC, the hockey stick, and temperature gauges too close to KFC fat fryers.
