Obama tripled the deficit and has created more deficits than all other presidents combined.
The first part of this statement is simply false, even if we go along with the Bush-era idea that hundreds of billions of dollars for war shouldn't be included in the budget. The second part, aside from not making sense, is clearly absurd on its face.

Why can't Republicans use facts to argue against Barack Obama and the Democrats? There's plenty to criticize without resorting to fiction.

Great news for America! The Democrat Party as it is currently construed is a conglomeration of liberal extremists, crony capitalists, special interest groups, and socialists. No American should have anything to do with the Democrat Party.
How are the big Federal government Republicans different than the big Federal government Democrats? They both love to use the military to force their agenda on sovereign nations. They both caused our economic downfall by voting for the anti free market Housing Bill. They both love bailouts on the backs of the working stiff, the difference is who gets our money.

Keep voting for the failed status quo and you'll get more of the same failures.

Nothing matters unless Obama is voted out of office.

That is the only goal from now until November 5th.

Because someone has an R by their name instead of a D that somehow makes a difference when the failed policies are similar? What's the theory behind that? The republicans will fail but not as bad as the democrats?
It's never about who is in charge, it's about policy.

If the Reppublicans were smart, they would include some of Ron Paul's ideas in the republican platform. Ron Paul supporters have a voice that needs to be heard...and if the republicans want to win, they had better STOP marginalizing him...they are turning a large segment of voters away, and they cannot afford to do that.

Paul fams are passionate supporters and will sit this election out ...at least a large number of them...if Paul is not a candidate for 3rd party. And if that happens....why bother....just give the election to obama. So the republicans better wise the F up.

The Ron Paul supporters aren't open to anyone but Ron Paul, or Obama when Paul loses the nomination. The GOP would be wiser to spend it's time getting people who don't usually vote to the polls. That or repeatedly beating their collective heads against a brick wall. Trying to convince the Paulites of anything is a true waste of time.

You got it. That's why I joined the GOP.

Who are you constantly trying to fool with this crap? I want Paul to win, yes. Many people are registering as Republicans (myself included) to vote for Paul in the primary because they like his message. If he doesn't win, I would consider Huntsman. I will never vote for Obama, ever. I would have a really hard time voting for Romney, because I don't trust him AT ALL, and I think he's all for starting ANOTHER WAR with Iran. If it's Romney, there's a good chance I will vote Gary Johnson. The only thing I can say about Romney is he would be the "lesser of two evils" with Obama, but not by much. But if partisan republicans like yourself keep talking crap and pissing off Paul supporters, they're going to take their vote elsewhere or not vote at all, and you'll have no one to blame but yourselves when you lose.
