Like his dad, Ron, he doesn't lie to get his way. Obama constantly lies to get his way.

In light of the many, many posts from the right using this exact meme against the left, it's supremely entertaining to hear you whine when it's aimed back at you. Too, too funny.

I did vote yes, but it depends on what one considers the right wing version: He is attractive to the young voter, yes, charismatic and a 1st time senator. I just don't know if he will ever get the support from his party to win the nomination and go on to the Pres. I know I am certainly not sure if I could or would support him. As for his supporters, most of them supported his father and though his father was the Great White Hope as well.

Two words: Ronald Reagan.

Your comment assures me you never got the "Just Say No" memo from Nancy.

I voted no. I'm an Obama supporter and there is no way in hell I would worship the ground he walks on. The people whom make such claims are deceivers...

What is wrong, you act in messianic worship toward Obama and are now trying so desperately to ah hum "project" again? Just like Obama you can't admit you are wrong and that the left falls to their knees and obeys when Obama speaks. Don't bother and cover up that Democratic Obama tattoo some of you have.

Wrong, Reagan did things that we didn't like and we said so... try again!

Karl Rove, John McCain & Lindsey Graham are the Obama's of the Republican party. They constantly lie to get their way.

Well you have the left wing media who defend Obama on everything, Chris Matthews got a tingle, he also called Obama the perfect man. Say anything against Obama and he calls you a racist. Say anything against Obama to an Obama supporter and they call you racist.

The left wing media who tried to hide Benghazi because they couldn't let it out while Obama and co ran around the country saying Osama Bin Laden is dead and Al-quaeda is on its heals (on the run). The reason, to convince the voters that Obama's foreign policies was a success when we now know that is a lie.

The Fort Hood attack, Obama will not say it was a terrorist attack even though it was proven because he would have to admit that Al-Quaeda is NOT on the run.

Obama cult voted (voted for revenge) and for higher taxes and the left wing media promoted the class warfare even though it hurt the middle class, the poor, the black community. Yet they still buy into Obama and defend him even though nothing is better for them.

Obama ran around saying "middle class Americans will not pay one more dime in taxes" but when it happened Obama followers tried to defend him. Hey, I don't care why I am paying higher taxes the fact is, that after Obama tells me I won't be I am paying higher taxes. Yet the left wing media keeps quiet and the Obama cult defend him.

And the bleach blonde bimbo stood behind Obama during the campaign and cheered. LOL

On the surface, it would appear not:

Rand Paul Cool On Breaking Up Big Banks, Open To Starving Them

Rand Paul Cool On Breaking Up Big Banks, Open To Starving Them


But, then, politicians are known to preach one thing to the masses and work for their masters that bought them once elected.
