Who cares? They’re dead. They don’t get a vote.
Well, except in Chicago.
If there wasn’t a middle, The Darwin Awards would take up 99% of the Internet and about 99.999% of humanity.

Sir Simon Milligan, ladies and gentlemen. Let’s give him a big hand!
A hand, master?

All of them? Even Matthew Thornton and Francis Hopkinson? What do you have against Thornton and Hopkinson?
First time I ever bust out laughing in the office. Well done, sir.
I know, I know. It just seems sometimes that the only ones without a voice ARE those middle of the road people. <sigh>
(and who’s to say the Darwin Awards don’t? I think you’re underestimating…)

This thread has been brought to you by Brawndo!- it has the Electrolytes posters, puppets, and plants need.
Actually, the late lamented George Carlin had a better take on the attitude you seem to be Pitting:
It ain’t socialism, just plain common sense.
Hey, at least you get some suspense. I live in California, so it doesn’t really matter who I vote for.
+55 Obama.
So aside from that, what do you think? He’s pretty cool, huh? You gonna vote for him too?
Wow! You completely nailed Obama’s economic message. :rolleyes:
Of course I did. That is EXACTLY what his economic message is.
For all the bleating I hear from the sheeple in here about cites and specifics, I have yet to see a single rational argument for the Obamamessiah’s policies. Most of it is typical liberal whining, and the few people willing to take a swing at it so far are giving emotional reasons, not logical ones.
I expected no less from a group of liberal pawns. Nevertheless in an attempt to placate the bleating sounds, I will throw out a few quick points.
Obama thinks the government can take care of our health care. The same government that can’t even get the mail delivered on time, educate our children or balance a budget! Been to the DMV lately? Thats what your doctors office is going to look like.
Wiki: Obama is a sponsor of the Global Poverty Act, which “requires the President to develop and implement a comprehensive policy to cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief, and coordination with the international community, businesses and NGOs.”[147] The legislation, if approved, dedicates 0.7 percent of the U.S. gross national product to foreign aid, which over 13 years he said would amount to $845 billion over and above what the U.S. already spends.[148
Fuck that! AMERICAN poverty is not my problem, much less global poverty. What gives him the right to steal this money from us? If you think reducing poverty is a noble cause, give as much money as you want. Do what you want with your own pie. Stay the fuck away from mine please.
Obama stated he will stop investing in missile defense. WTF is wrong with missile DEFENSE for God’s sake??? Perhaps his plan is to just hold hands and sing Kumbaya to ward off the missles. Of course he can always just say “Hope” and his army of marionettes will come dancing to his service.
No, but intelligent adults fear assholes running for public office who claim that we need government programs to redistribute wealth.
And thank you for validating what I said.
Carlin missed the point, too. If it’s just plain common sense, we don’t need the government telling us to do it.
I love George Carlin. I disagreed with alot he said, but I still laughed at it. George, I am going to miss you.
Funny, how the government run health care in other countries is better - save for some high end stuff - than what we free market worshipping Americans get.
The fact that as a fellow human being, you have moral obligations to other human beings. The fact that much of that poverty is at least partially our fault.
I’m not surprised you don’t care; “conservative” and “sociopath” are near synonyms.
If concern for others is so bad, why should I care about your feelings ? If concern for others is of value, you owe the money for moral reasons; if it’s not, why should I or anyone care if Obama takes your money or why ?
Because it doesn’t work; it’s a scam that conservative “sheeple” like you buy into.
Wrong. People do stupid, shortsighted things all the time.
True enough, but is it right for the government to infringe on someone’s rights to protect other people from their own stupidity?
See, that’s where “specifics” come in. Any serious presidential candidate has a lot of policies. Which of these, in particular, do you find objectionable, and why, and how is it “socialist”? You really don’t seem to understand his positions at all.
