What I have a problem with, is the tired old rhetoric. Everytime the man gets in front of a mic, if he has his teleprompter there, he gives the same old tired speech. And somehow the left finds a way to fawn over it as if its new material. The word cloud for every speech he gives would look nearly the same. Yes I take issue with his lack of open minded consideration of this "rich only" tax hikes. He has admitted, on the record mind you, that its not about revenue, its about fairness. He aknowledged that such a move would REDUCE revenue, but would be the "fair" thing to do. Look at the CBO study that came out a week or so ago, that shows projected GDP growth, it shows that GDP will grow 1.20% if the middle class cuts are extended, but would grow 1.25% if ALL the tax cuts were extended. But no, lets be "fair", whatever that means. Buzz words like "fair", and "greed" have no meaning in a logical conversation. They are words that belong in the same pile as "racism" and "poverty".R/T Hemi wrote:What are you upset about? His refusal to budge on tax cuts for the wealthy?

Also, what would you like to realistically see come out of this? Anarchists speak up
Oh save me your holier than thou BS Mike. I wasn't pro-Romney until he was the only other alternative to Obama. Never once have I said RP wouldn't have been the best choice. How many times have I said I was tired of voting for the lesser of two poopyhead? More then I want to remember.themadscientist wrote:
This is your fault, all of you. Quit whining and take your well-deserved a** raping because you voted for it. Voted for Obama, you voted for rape with more tearing on the right side of the anal cavity. Voted for Romney, you voted for rape with more tearing on the left; that's the only difference.
He was provoked by the other people on that panel IMO.

I would agree condescending is never a good method, but when push comes to shove....

The panel brought it, he replied.

We've had this discussion before. Until a third party is actually a viable alternative I'm going to vote for the better of the 2 possible choices. YOU may think Romney and Obama are the same people, I do not. We all make decisions based on what's best for us. For me, Obama was far worse than Romney, but my vote was thrown into the fire as soon as it was cast, this is Joe Biden's fvcking home state. They worship that pricksvcker around here...themadscientist wrote: But you did it anyway, didn't ya? Actions speak louder than words.
