Obama running for re-election

@Syed: I'd rather take Obama, who is clearly an improvement from The Shrubbery.

@Teh: True, and she's in it for money. It costs a lot to be in the Tea Party, I've heard. Even the Republicans say she's in it for money, not politics. But, has there ever really been a difference between the two?

@Syed[again]: *Hillary, *Palin.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

@Ram Haha, touchè.

Anyway, this election should be interesting when it comes up. Just at least not Palin, and i'll be happy.

Communism: You have more water, everyone has more water!

@Teh: Har har, someone gets it.

It certainly will be... For better or for worse, sadly...

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

I'm not going to be surprised if we get another ass on the list.

Neither would I.

It saddens me to see the ignorant rhetoric being spewed here. Obviously, many of the posters here just a few things from family or friends and take it as the gospel.

The problem with this country is not a D or and R after someone's name. The problem comes from big government progressives, which both Obama and Bush are. Additionally, Congress is full of them. This is a dangerous combination because they take Keynesian principals and keep spending the nation into debt.

What the United States need is a combination of a president and a Congress who understand fiscal matters. I, for one, am supporting Herman Cain for president, should his exploratory committee determine positive feasibility for winning. He is an experienced business man who started with nothing. He believes in the Constitution that all politicians swear to uphold then trample with their expansionist bills.

This country has been in a downward spiral at least since the Wilson administration. I would like to see it finally moved in the right direction as very few presidents and Congresses in the 1900s did.

I'm predestined to have free will.

Like I've said before, this country needs a President like Washington again. He spoke in his farewell address about having political parties and how they tear a country apart, which is what has happened. And, unlike more modern presidents, was devoted to his country.

Na na na na na na na na na - BanMan!

I would like to find out, what is everyone's stance on the Tea Party? The people are jst going "RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE", yet claiming to be the only ones who want lower taxes and small government. I would like to point out, if you lower taxes too much, you screw the proverbial pooch, ie; Your city, resources, and economy. That is why I consider the Tea Party Movement to be one of more stupidity than the Republicans in general.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

Obama did one good, taxes.
The lower tax thing was very ironacle.

The Ram - the TEA Party is the most misunderstood and demonized movement in the country today. The premise behind the TEA Party is that both major parties have overreached their power, taken spending to an unsustainable level, and have led the country down a path not intended by the Constitution. The TEA Party belief stems from the "Don't Tread on Me" motto used during the American Revolution, which was a response to the British overreach. As with that period of time, an authoritarian government held back the common person. The United States are moving in the direct of socialism now, which is destroying both the middle and the lower classes. The only people who can easily (notice how I said "easily") get ahead are the super rich with lobbying power to manipulate the laws and tax codes.

The TEA Party movement consists of the average person from across political lines and ethnic lines. Unfortunately, many big names in the Republican party have usurped the movement for their own personal gain. If the movement would be compared to a political party in it's views, the closest would be either the Constitution/Conservative Party (depending on the state) or the Libertarian Party.

I support the movement but not some of those who call themselves members. Some of my favorite voices in the TEA Party movement include Herman Cain, Allen West, Rand Paul, and Andrew Napolitano. Anyone who cries racism of the group should look up every one of them.

Hmm, that's the clearest definition I've found. I do understand what they're trying to do, and, in a way, it makes sense. But, as you said before, I have a problem with the members. They give what seems like a good Party a bad image. Until such voices are diminished from the Tea Party, I'll just keep a slightly opened mind to it. Good explanation.

[sorry if answer is bot hed, I had to come back to typing it after an hour. My train of thought is a local trip.]

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

My gosh, there's no way he should be re-elected, he may be on the verge of putting us into a second recession, not to mention the government shut-down! He really isn't setting a good impression for future black presidents! (I don't hate black people, in fact, my best friend that i've ever had is black!)

I'm not saying you're fat... but if i had to choose the 5 fattest people i know, you'd be 3 of them.

Well, the people will decide. That's for sure.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

ACTUALLY, it isn't just the popular vote that inaugurates a president. He/she must win the electoral vote. Sure, Mccain might have won the popular vote, but maybe Obama won the electoral vote, and that's what really counts, and that's what made him President.

Communism: You have more water, everyone has more water!

Yes, he did win the mass amount of electoral votes from each state. He actually had the popular vote at the end, too.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

Herman Cain gots decent chance.

I've actually yet to read/learn anything official about Herman Cain.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

Here you go, The Ram:

Hmm.. Interesting. And thank you. Today appears to be an oil rant.

In all honesty, I can't help but agree with these two paragraphs[I don't denounce everything that's true, if it has a valid point to prove];

"We do not stop all commercial aircraft from flying when there is an airline tragedy. We do not stop all cars from driving on the highways when there is an unfortunate deadly automobile accident. No! We learn from those accidents and move on.

This administration’s propensity for moratoriums and prohibitions on oil and natural gas exploration right here at home is dramatically affecting the expectations about global supply and demand. It’s that simple.
"

Ironically, after the 9/11 event, I remember vividly in my 4y/o mind wondering why there weren't any planes. So, that's the only exception I can think of to Mr. Cain's analogy. Sadly, there's not much else to read on his site, it seems. All he has is video footage. I don't really enjoy watching politics.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

I read about him and I like him, he should win not Obama.
