An astute, accurate observation. This forum has become safe-haven for racists, judging by what I read here.

Well, my hat is off to Mr. Alford for his honesty, and willingness to take responsibility for his error. I wonder how many CD libs will be so honest when America is a shadow under its former self, i.e. fundamentally changed.

In that case, Harry Alford cast his vote foolishly. Each candidate had made their policy proposals freely available, so there's no excuse for an Obama voter to, say, complain about the Affordable Care Act.

Me, I'm perfectly fine having voted for Obama twice.

b. republicans are against insuring the 10,000's who die each year from not having health insurance.
c. republicans are against helping other countries.
(The Bible clearly shows that Jesus would be FOR the above things.)


2. Scientist's say they both use propaganda on their own people.


3. Both groups have a leadership structure that makes their followers believe lies.
Example, Fox news and Rush radio are the leaders of the Tea Party. Fox news tells them lies like "global warming is not happening, tax cuts for the rich increase government revenues, B. Obama is a communist, Social Security is out of money, ex.ex." (And the Tea Party members believe all the lies.)


4. They are both against women's rights. (But the Taliban is MUCH worse than the Tea Party)
Example, Tea Party members are against a woman's right to be a front line soldier, and they are against a women's right to have a abortion. ex.ex.ex.


5. They both love small government.
Neither group wants things like the EPA, FDA, IRS, public schools, public libraries, ex.ex.ex.


6. Both groups commit (or) speak about violence against their own fellow country people.
Example, I have heard many Tea Party members speak of overthrowing the US government, because they believe the US government is becoming communists.




Can you point to 6 facts showing that the Tea Party is (not) similar to the Taliban ??

Let's see...because tax cuts for the rich wouldn't add to the debt if we weren't spending so much on programs the Democrats refuse to cut. So now, back to you- how could anybody be stupid enough to be a Democrat, when Democrats created our dangerous national debt with LBJ, Carter, and Obama style spending progams costing us so much money that trying to spur the economy with a 2 or 3 % tax cut is enough to send deficits spiralling out of control?

The following non-partisan source shows that you are lying to this forum.

http://www.skymachines.com/US-Nation...ental-Term.htm


Carter took office with a debt-to-GDP of 35.4%
Carter left office with a debt-to-GDP of 33.3%
(Carter brought down Americas national debt)


Reagan took office with a debt-to-GDP of 32.9%
Reagan left office with a debt-to-GDP of 52.6%
(Reagan greatly increased our national debt)

Reagan increased Americas national debt by lowering rich peoples tax rates. And by wasting money on the Star Wars defense system (scientists said it would not work.) Reagan also wasted money on the x-30. Reagan said we would have the x-30 in 10 years, but its 25 years later and we still don't have it.
Rockwell X-30 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



G(H)W Bush took office with a debt-to-GDP of 53.8%
G(H)W Bush left office with a debt-to-GDP of 65.9%
(republican G(H)W Bush raised Americas national debt)


Then (democrat) B. Clinton got in office and reversed R. Reagan's tax cuts for the rich.

B. Clinton took office with a debt-to-GDP of 68.1%
B. Clinton left office with a debt-to-GDP of 57.7%
(B. Clinton lowered Americas national debt)

Then (republican) GW Bush took office and lowered rich peoples tax rates. (and he also attacked Iraq for nothing and spent $1 trillion dollars doing it.)


GW Bush took office with a debt-to-GDP of 57.8%
GW Bush left office with a debt-to-GDP of 74.1%
(GW Bush raised Americas national debt)

note: GW Bush's tax cuts for the rich kicked in while Obama was in office. So the huge deficits created by GW Bush's tax cuts happened while Obama was in office. Obama is also forced to pay for Bush's for nothing Iraq war. (and Obama also has to pay for the interest on republican spending, and yes tax cuts cost money.)


And if you look at the chart in the above link, in the "Growth Rate yoy" section.
You will see that Obama has cut GW Bush's debt growth rate by around 1/2.

GW Bush took office with a 5% debt growth rate.
GW Bush left office with a 15.9% debt growth rate.

Obama took office with a 15.1% debt growth rate.
And Obama has brought the debt growth rate down to 8.6%.

As soon as GW Bush's tax cuts expire, and GW Bush's Iraq war ends our deficits will go way down.



And to show how republicans have fully lost their minds. Romney wanted to give Americas rich and large corporations $6.6 trillion dollars in tax cuts. And all of that money would have been added to our national debt. And Romney also wanted to increase Americas military spending.

Romney's Economic Plan Includes $6.6 Trillion Tax Cut For The Rich And Corporations | ThinkProgress


Republican tax cuts for the rich and senseless military spending have created our dangerous national debt.
The problem is that the (rich) owners of Americas TV and radio stations are getting these huge republican tax cuts. And the owners of all our major news shows want to keep their republican tax cuts coming, so most of our news shows don't even speak of these things.

The following documentary explains how TV station owners edit Americas news.
This documentary is old and things are 10x worse now.

Lets see who behaves like someone who uses drugs.
List one thing that I said in my post that is not true.

CAN YOU LIST (1) THING THAT I SAID THAT IS NOT TRUE ??
Answer: No you can not.


You can't discredit a single word I said, so you resort to childlike manipulations.
But there's one good thing about debating someone who behaves like a child.
They can't post any actual facts.
So I don't have to spend a lot of time replying to your posts.

Will you post another statement that contains no facts, or will you stop posting to me ??


Chad.
