Yep, he envisions an America with 9-year-old janitors, dishwashers, unskilled laborers - working for peanuts. A nice overhaul of the labor movement.
And why is that such a bad idea? If kids want to earn money by working at school why shouldn't they be allowed to?

BTW....Dig up Teddy Roosevelt and breathe some life into him, put him up as the Republican nominee, and i promise to help physically escort Barack Obama out of the WH myself.

Until you guys can do that...fuggetaboutit.




Obama was a laughable candidate and look what happened. BTW he is still laughable.

Hawkeye pretends he's a millionaire when really he's an old man living off of social security checks who doesn't know ****e about economics. If he did he'd realize that a recession this severe will take at least a decade to crawl out of, no matter who is president. There is no quick fix to a severe market bubble, which is why current unemployment numbers don't scare me off from voting for Obama again. I like the way he approaches foreign policy, health care, and regulation on wall street shadow banking practices, so I'll be voting for him again. I do like Paul and Huntsman though. I would consider voting for a socially liberal, fiscal conservative who is not a chicken-hawk in 2016.

No person who graduated from Harvard Law at the top of his class is laughable. The type of intelligence it requires to score that high on the LSAT just to get in, and then to graduate from the program, above most everyone else in the class who is also ridiculously smart, surpasses that of 95% of the people on this forum. Just because you don't agree with his policies or his Europeanesque view of the American future, doesn't make him laughable.

No person that graduated from Harvard should even be capable, on his worst day to start talking to himself as he misread a teleprompter, but the communist BO did just that.

He is not only laughable. He is hugely laughable, he is a joke on the nation and his own party. He conned some of the finest libs I have ever known. He lost some of them when very early in-office he announced that veterans were going to start paying some of their own healthcare costs. We got phonecalls, oh boy did hubby and I get calls from our lib friends and his relatives that are!

Again, opinions, no facts.

And what level of education do you have? By the way you right I'd be surprised if you even have a bachelors degree yet you think you understand legislation and policy more thoroughly than a Harvard Law grad, lol.

I hope that makes you feel better. I am afraid that I don't need to "pretend" to be anything, as I am not concerned about other's opinions of me. A bitter, resentful personality is "cancerous" and can distort one's view of the world. If you really wanted to be wealthy, you should have studied harder in school or worked harder. Behavior does have consequences.


Of course you will vote for Obama. You rationalize his abject failure by stating that no one else can, or will, improve the economy. Be prepared to be surprised how things turn around when Obama is out of office. However, the fiscal damage he has inflicted will require some fiscal austerity measures to reverse the massive deficit spending. Reduction in corportate taxes, regulations, and repeal of Obamacare will stimulate the private sector, however, and allow the economy to take off. The liberals, even when this happens, will say it would have happened anyway.

What does it take for conservatives to realize the people they select do nothing great for the country? $45T deficit?
There's a difference between deficits and debts.
