Fair taxes? Obama wants to raise taxes. Even though the feds take in several trillion aa year already. He needs more. lols.
When did Obama state he wants to raise taxes? The Bush tax cuts for the rich was a temporary "stimulus" that was a monumental failure. Returning to Clinton's massively successful tax plan is just common sense, but basic comprehension abilities are lacking with the brainwashed radical right.

Nice Beck programming, he would approve There was never a single boot on the ground in Libya, and we won the war costing the taxpayer next to nothing and most importantly, not a single troop's life.
If a right winger was in office, we would have been at full blown war with Libya a long time ago, and if not, would be now (just look at all the right wingers calling for war after the US embassy attacks) Let's also not forget right wing hero Reagan making illegal arms deals with Iran and calling the taliban "the moral equivalents of america's founding fathers".

If it wasn't for the right wing's dream boy, we never would have been attacked on 9/11, or have the hostility we have now with the middle east. Thanks Ronnie!

Yes, he was. He knew the rich were nothing but lazy, greedy, good-for-nothings as to why he became a democrat. He was the only president in history to be elected to three terms, put america to work, which created things like the roads we drive on, the hoover damn, railroads, and much more. You should thank the heavens we had such a great democrat in office at the time, otherwise we would be speaking german right now (though the right wingers likely would love that)

You didn't state any facts, just brainwashed fox news/Beck BS fodder. Though enjoy that spanking of facts just laid down on you

Obama has never said he wants to raise taxes? lols. Guess you never heard him talk. And the Supreme Court said Obamacare is a tax. So he raised taxes on everyone. The IRS took in more in income taxes in 2005 and 2006 than any other 2 years in history. Guess those tax cuts for everyone that pays income taxes (not just the wealthy) worked.

The Congress told Obama to get out of Libya. He didn't. A clear violation of the Constitution. An impeachable offense. Rationalize it all you want.

LOLs. Reagan bombed one Muslim country. Libya after they set off a bomb in a German night club. Bill Clinton bombed or invaded 44 different countries. 43 of which had heavy Muslim populations. So what led to an attack in September of 2011? One bombing by Reagan 20 years earlier. Or Clinton's 8 years of killing Muslims, and bowing up medicinal plants in Sudan, in the 8 years prior to 2011?


Yes, he was. He knew the rich were nothing but lazy, greedy, good-for-nothings as to why he became a democrat.

FDR took over and the economy was in a shambles. He held office for 12 years and the economy was in a shambles when he died. It recovered a few years after he croaked. Speaking German? lols. Yes Hitler had been tied in war in Europe and Africa for years. He was going to invade and conquer a continental country thousands of miles away and conquer us. LMFAO. Talk about making up istory. FDR was a disaster.

And you get rich by being a lazy, greedy good-for-nothing? LOLs. Wow. Maybe we should outlaw the rich then. They obviously are of no benefit to society. lols.

BTW, I'm not a conservative or republican. And I rarely, if ever listen to Beck.

Your message is this: Do not vote with your conscience or mind, but do so either according to party loyalty or because you dislike the 'other' candidate.
What a beacon for democracy.
Have you ever thought that if enough people "totally waste their vote", then their vote wouldn't be totally wasted? Don't answer that. I know you haven't thought about it.
I have absolutely thought about it, but I still have the opinion that a vote for a fringe candidate is a wasted vote. Perhaps "wasted" is the wrong word.

Default Democrats, if Romney Wins...

What should be the game plan if Romney wins? Should we compromise with Republicans or obstruct their every move?

Say goodbye to Big Bird and stock up on Binders. And maybe get a Bug Out Bag in preparation for world war 3 in case his foreign policy agenda endangers our well-being.

Well, the Democratic Party has gotten much more aggressive the past few years, compared to the spineless "nice guy/gal" party we saw last decade, but I'm not sure they would obstruct a President Romney to the same extent the GOP have blockaded Obama. In the end the Dems, being more progressive-minded, would work for the betterment of the public, while the GOP and the Tea Party they answer to believe ideology trumps all.

I would hope the Democrats would try to work with the GOP for the good of the country.

Sadly, the GOP are such crooks, they will steal the ranch and leave us in worse shape than before - more tax cuts for people who don't need them and who will NOT create more good-paying jobs, more cuts to everything except the military because they are beholden to their corporate masters.

It will be a very sad day for this country if Romney wins. I would feel very badly for my son/dil. They won't have the future I had at their age, that's for sure.

You all will likely be too busy trying in the courts to contest the results.

It takes at least two parties to compromise. If the other party is unwilling to compromise, that's when you need to obstruct.
