Your post has absolutely nothing to do with what Casper said.

this ^^^ comparison is just too delusional for words. You know, there are still a few of those people who had a numbers tattooed on their arms out there today, so WHERE are they? Why aren't they sounding an alarm? Don't hear any of them expressing any fear that Obama is even in the same ballpark as Hitler. Yet the far-right wing so-called Christians appear to be happy to try to sound a false alarm. The kind of extremism expressed in this post is a demonstration of the enormous hatred some people, especially the religious extremists, have for Obama. I wonder why that is? I believe Jesus didn't advocate for hatred.

you're right. It was never meant to be sole source of retirement income. However, it may well be that for more than we would like considering what some people lost in the market, and the length of time so many have been without work.

Can we try to get off the illegitimate "far-right wing so-called Christians" bashing? Not all the people who disagree with the left are far-right-wing, nor are they all Christians. Furthermore, let me point out that rather than "enormous hatred" for Obama, it just might be that people don't share his vision and don't like what he's doing to America. This country belongs to all of us, black or white or inbetween, rich or poor or inbetween, liberal or conservative or in-between. Liberals can love what O is doing to this country just as conservatives or moderates on both sides can hate what he's doing to the country. It's not him, it's what he's done or failed to do that is deeply troubling to many of us.

If there is any money left after the Democrats manage to keep things as they are long enough.

I guess you haven't seen that video that the Democrats tried to hard to put the GOP down with the clown who they tried to make look like Ryan dumping the old lady off the cliff. You can't possibly know that that one was aimed at Democrat votes, not what you said.

He is doing the best he can to deflect from the possibility that Obama will have to do as I say if it appears like he won't win the election. He does intend to serve four more years before he uses an EO to declare himself President for life.

THEY are going to be very surprised when they begin seeing how many people who voted for him in 2008 say they just aren't going to make that mistake again.

So Roy, you shot your mouth off, again, so provide the proof and facts you have that say your Pelosi is actual fact or wear your lack of credibility here with pride, once again.

And you will be surprised as to how many Repubs, especially women and Paul supporters will not be voting for the Odd Couple.

So the Republicans who don't want to have medicare, madicaid, and social security, or the Democrats who support it want want to keep it. Who is better for it?

I agree. Liberals are the new fascists who tend to oppose free speech, individual liberty, and private property rights to be secondary to the power of the central government.

The funny thing is that when you talk to a liberal, they actually believe that they are for personal liberties and freedoms, while all of their policies and core beliefs oppose such sentiments. If they really believed in individual liberty, they would want as little federal intereference in their lives, and the lives of everyone else.
