Obama, Romney, Democrat, Republican Does it really matter I just wish these clowns would get their act together and do what is right for the country before the whole thing goes to crap.

Good Lord man! Look at your own posts in this forum - the right has done nothing BUT demonize Obama since Day 1. It didn't work this time - face it.

Your party had a poor candidate who ran a poor campaign - face it.

Quit blaming the media and the Democrats for your own failures.

A family member voted for BO in 2008 because he was going to teach Republicans a lesson for nominating a RINO like McCain.

Second time around, he decided a RINO like Romney beat 4 more years of BO.

Social Security doesn't require one to have a photo ID. Banks don't require photo ID to open an account, just a SSA card (they may now, but if you opened the account decades ago, they didn't.) To cash a SSA check at the bank:

1. Take the check to one of your bank locations that accepts deposits.
2. Write your signature on the back of your social security check before approaching the bank teller.
3. Give your signed social security check to the bank teller along with the information on your savings or checking account.
Not anymore.

No more paper Social Security checks come March - Jan. 9, 2013

Good god, if I were Harry Alford the LAST thing that I would want to admit in public would be that as "President" and "CEO" of a national business organizations that I voted for a candidate without the slightest ideas as to what he stood for. And too say that I regret voting for him because the only reason that I did was his race... how freaking embarrassing is that.

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 ??
This is absolutely ridiculous. And garbage. Show some restraint, please.

Ditto here, although I lived in California at the time and it wouldn't have mattered either way.

Democrats and liberals NEVER do that. Nope, never.

We have to ban "assault weapons" (but grandfather those that are already out there), or more children will die.

Eleven rounds in a magazine is super-deadly, but ten is totally safe.

We have to pass Obamacare, or granny will die in the streets and be forced to eat cat food.

We have to bail out GM, or the economy will spiral.

We have to pass the stimulus, or the economy will spiral.

We have to extend unemployment, or the economy will spiral.

These are all just within the last few years, and I'm sure that there's plenty of examples that I missed.

Why don't you stop being a pawn and start thinking for yourself? One party encourages policies that will benefit you in the long run. The other doesn't think you have an attention span long enough to look passed the goodies they're going to give you right now. Unfortunately, in a lot of cases, it seems that they're right. Why don't you prove them wrong?
