    Really? What is Obamacare but a massive, deliberate, redistribution scheme? What did he mean when he told Joe the Plumber, on national TV, to the effect that 'when you spread the wealth around, I think that's a good thing...' Plus the anti-colonial Dreams from his Father... Barack Sr. advocated for an over 100% tax rate in certain cases. From each, according to his abilities...

    And he does make capricious, arbitrary decisions that overrule the 'settled law' that y'all are always banging on about,n for instance the delay of the implementation for businesses. His DoJ head won't prosecute 'his people.' We could go on all day here mentioning the President's* actions demonstrating that he thinks he's above the law.

    You were going to explain how he's not. Fail.

    it is a corporate gift.

    none of this is Marxist or dicatorial
    you made the claim, the onus is on you. You first need to define both Marxist and dictator and provide specific policy examples making him one.

    How about back to discussing Cruz' eligibility instead of Obamacare? :)

    how about moving this to the conspiracy forum since it's degraded into a birther thread?

    Wrong again! You would have to be a biased, gullible moron to not see Obama as such! :roll:

    Cruz is eligible because his mother met eligibility requirements. Obama's mother did not when he was born in Kenya.

    Barack Obama is eligible because he was born in the United States.
    Cruz is eligible because his mother was a citizen when he was born.

    They were both born with U.S. Citizenship and they are both natural born citizens.

    So, in other words, hundreds of Hawaiian officials are all involved in a massive conspiracy to manufacture the presidents birth certificate. Yea... that sounds much more plausible.

    The only folks who by into this garbage are uneducated, old white people.

    There may be some slight variations of definition here and there, but I do know how to recognize the obvious.

    More worryingly its some well educated people too. But intelligence and education are not totally linked.

    I have a more cynical view... the educated among them realize completely how moronic it is, but to abandon that view point would be to abandon the sheep that follow you. Not a hard position for a person in power.

    Couldn't agree more.

    Cynical my backside your 100% correct as history shows (for both Left and Right parties) they have always needed the support of groups with special interests :smoking: . The well educated people that run our political parties who call the shots have not got into politics purely for ideological dogma.

    Look at the Republican elites now finding out how the propaganda machine has helped fuel this TEA Party monster. The same is happening in my country with the rise of the Right Wing UKIP party. The view in Conservative interest groups in the UK is that the mainstream Tory party in Government is not Right Wing enough. History shows when parties fracture the other side wins landslide majorities.

    You got me. I said cynical and should have said sinister. Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin that serve the masters who fund their campaigns.

    Forgive my ignorance, but isn't the HoC represented proportionally? Wish one of our congressional houses were, preferably both.

    Nope we have "First Past The Post" for the UK`s 650 constituencies for a general election the same as in your congressional houses. But here Conservatives dominate the South and Labour the North!

    Like the US elections ours are won and lost in about 150 areas with the swing voters. In most safe seats the two main parties could put up donkeys to run and they would still win.

    You said you recognized the obvious? Now I'm confused.
