This thread is a fantastic example for the multiple reasons I don't identify with 'conservatives'.

I believe you're a little confused, scare tactics, including "grandma will die" death panels and seeing commies/socialists/marxists behind every bush and under every bed are the meat and potatoes of right-wing strategy and have been since the days of the drunk Senator from Wisconsin. Can't even give you credit for a good try

Topic isnt the Republican field, but many of them have ACTUAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS. Are you sure you want to compare the failures of Obamas to the GOP field?

Those who can see have no need to "reach". It's obvious if you have your eyes open and are willing to think about it.

Thanks. Exactly the point I was making. It's obvious.

Why would he bother giving a speech in your part of the state, there aren't two brain cells to rub together among the entire population there. .
No doubt Obama agrees with that, and was there to garner some easy votes.
He does know how to manipulate his electorate, you know. Unfortunately for him, some people are beginning to see him for what he is. Wait until the rest realize he is just using them.

If so, then may I hope as you do that you become an ex-citizen because that kind of perspective is for third world dictatorships, the kind our corporations love to do business with, not the USA.
There's a third alternative that I can think of: America's economy should give everyone a fair opportunity. How's that.

By the way, did anyone notice whether the man who is stalking the 1% ever mention the 47% who pay no taxes at all?
That must be some people's definition of "fair".

Ignorance is bliss, and bliss is fleeting. Check Agenda 21 and to see the future that government has planned for us.

Yes, it is, and with that statement you proved it.

I can't help you there as I can't find any real accomplishments by Obama.
