For the fun of it lets just focus on this one for a second. > [@IBuildEm](#): > > the ACORN and 800,000 Mickey Mouse votes for Obama in Florida, In the 2008 and 2012 election there were approximately 8,400,000 votes cast in the Florida. According to your statement approximately 10% of these were cast by Micky Mouse. Given that conservative poll watchers were in attendance at polling stations, and the Florida voter rolls are public record, it is odd that no one other than you seemed to have noticed this discrepancy. I would recommend contacting Reince Priebus bringing this to the attention of the Republican National Committee. I’m sure that they would make good use of such an easily provable demonstration of voter fraud, given that their own attempts to find instances of it have come up empty. (I guess no one in the RNC thought of eyeballing the Florida voter rolls to and seeing that every 10th name might be Micky Mouse.) I eagerly await the RNC’s stunning announcement in the next few days, thanks to your diligent detective work. ---

Lol, you didn’t build that. Your business belongs to the people who protect it from criminals, to the people who built the roads that lead to it, to the utilities that give you power, water, and gas, and the government that taxes people and redistributes it so that you can have the necessary laws in place for your business to exist. And someday, if you fail to pay your property or other taxes, the government can confiscate it just as easily as they helped you build it 😃 ---

You people are too mean. **IBuildEm** brings something very valuable to this board. **IBuildEm** is a deep thinker, a philosopher. Consider how he obliquely brings up a quandary worthy of Descartes here: > [@IBuildEm](#): > > I have met a great many people that said “I voted for Obama, but I regret it now” Coming to the conclusion that there is nothing that can be said to justify Obama’s actions, whether it be on international trade, terror, or domestic social issues. Many people know that Obama has added more to the national debt than every other president combined. A common liberal counterargument is that he was dealing with fallout from the Bush presidency. When debating these people, they almost always say they did not know about the national debt, they did not know about the executive actions, they did not know what a constitution is and the vital role it plays for our country, they did not know of the ACORN and 800,000 Mickey Mouse votes for Obama in Florida, they did not know of the health insurance companies being forced to drop out of the healthcare marketplace due to Obamacare’s affordable care act and the drop in premium costs for citizens but the spike in costs for the providers. > > A new argument I have heard is that because of the “Global crash in 2008, adding this extreme amount of national debt was justified.” My question for you, is that true? Is the decline that happened in 2008 a just cause for pumping more national debt into this country than every other president combined? > > [http://www.loonwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Barack-Obama-in-Kenya-006.jpg](http://www.loonwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Barack-Obama-in-Kenya-006.jpg) Namely, can a person know something that isn’t true? ---

The month of May was taken up discussing his construction of a gasoline-powered bicycle that doesn’t work, and which I trust is the source of his brilliantly innovative user name. Having now accepted that it will never work and was a comically stupid idea, his new project is explaining why everyone must hate Obama, which actually has a lot in common with the bicycle project. ---

Did anybody ever figure out the relationship between the rant in OP and the linked photograph? Did Obama bail out the banks so the country would be more prosperous and Osama bin Laden(\*) would get to destroy more when President Hussein turns the nuclear launch codes over to al-Qaeda? Was Obamacare just so that our Islamist conquerors could have healthier sex slaves? (\* - I think it goes without saying that those who are as on-top-of-the-facts as OP are well aware that Osama’s death was faked.) ---

> [@septimus](#): > > Did anybody ever figure out the relationship between the rant in OP and the linked photograph? It is clear proof that Obama is deliberately sending jobs overseas to ruin America. In the photo Obama is saying, “Here, this job is for you.” and the other guy is saying, “Thank you. Death to America!” ---
