    Is that what you are going to say when Romney gets obliterated? Practicing, are you?





    Obama has deported more illegals than Bush ever did. Either post something to back up your rhetoric or you are just blowing smoke, which I suspect is what is happening. You just want to have an excuse ready so when Romney gets slaughtered you can save face![​IMG]

    Sure, but that's still a broad stroke assumption. Less willing doesn't translate into absolute certainty.

    Yeah, it's the same thing with the bureaucracies. Long after the Democratic President, Senate, and Congress are gone, the left-wing bureaucracies are even more entrenched than they were the day they were formed.

    The GOP could run Bush's dog up against Obama and still win by a landslide.

    Must be why the wealthy and corporations vote Republican. Their survival (or should we say the survival of tax cuts) depends on the Government, and the only government willing to continue that farce is the Republican party. And, it is sad that corporate welfare is so many, many, times more than what social welfare is, but try and explain that to people who think the money they are investing on the wealthy and corporations will someday trickle down to them.[​IMG]

    Not according to Obama's "Truth Teams" talking point squadron.

    The private sector is not doing fine compared to the public sector.

    Ha,ha, they ran McCain up against Obama and lost. And, now they are running the idiot that lost to McCain, to run against Obama. If Romney couldn't beat McCain, what makes you think that he can beat Obama? Mute Romney has yet to tell us how he is going to do anything. All he can do is switch back and forth on issues, hoping he is on the side that will get him votes, but, not all people are as easily fooled as most Reps/cons.

    Did he deport more than the 800,000 - 2,000,000 he just granted amnesty to? In a last minute effort to convince his idiotic supporters that he is on their side with immigration? He knows his followers have the memory of a gnat, and will forget all about all those deportations he once performed.

    So what? If he gets 1,000,000 more people on the dole, he knows that the majority will stay dependent and vote for the party of dependency.

    Obama won easily the first time because he seemed promising given the distain the public had for the Iraq war, and hadn't been given a chance , now that he's thoroughly proven himself a faliure he has no chance. He campained in part on his promise to withdrawl the troops, which obviously was a lie.

    It's simple. Obama has a record now, and it's not a good one. People are going to be less willing to vote for Obama simply because he's black this time around. Empty rhetoric about "hope and change" isn't going to cut it. Not this time.

    Oh, you mean like Obama switched back and forth on gay marriage? How about immigration? Can you say "hypocrisy"?

    If the government wants to give me food stamps I'll take it. Why not? And I'll definitely vote for him in November as well if he comes through with them.

    That's because it was either extend them all, or deal a harsh financial blow to middle and lower class people.

    He deported more than Bush did. And, granting amnesty to kids that have been here since there were little was the right thing.
    Can't help it if your party is on the side of discrimination. Cry me a river.


    Geez, what's smaller than a gnat? Because Bush's supporters have an even smaller memory than that - they are willing to vote in another "conservative" that will obviously continue the policies that tanked the country not so long ago, but obviously, they have already forgotten.



    No, the deportations that he did were legit. These kids that are getting amnesty, they don't belong in another country. They were brought here, grew up here, they don't know any other country. Only cold hearted people would want to send them to a foreign country, but geez, we already know Republican/conservatives are cold hearted. What else is new?

    He has withdrawn the troops. And, what's your beef? Republicans were whining and complaining when he started doing that. They wanted to keep them there 100 years, or have you forgotten?

    And your moron candidate, he thinks it was a mistake to end the war and bring them home, so your whining is obviously manufactured.

    So the answer is "no, he did not deport more than the 800,000-2,000,000 he gave amnesty to". How many did Bush give amnesty to?

    There, now you can't brag about how good of a job Obama did on deporting illegals. He wiped that away in one unconstitutional action.

    It's not about discrimination, it's about enforcing the laws. Legal vs illegal. Illegal aliens are not legal citizens, and have no right to be here. There are laws on the book, but leftists ignore them because they want more liberal voters.

    Perhaps it's because people like you have been unable to explain exactly how Bush "tanked the country". Remember? Talk about having the memory of a gnat.

    Again, it's about enforcing the laws that Congress has passed. The job of the President is to enforce the laws, not pick and choose which ones he likes and dislikes. Liberals have no high ground on morality so save your sanctimonious BS for someone who can't see through it. I know all about your game. I was once like you. This is done purely for political reasons, not because your liberal politicians have a heart.

    Yeah, because the Republican Congress wanted to let the middle-class tax cuts expire unless he also extended the uber wealthy's tax cuts. He wanted to keep his promise to the middle-class, the ones the Republicans don't care about, and Romney for sure doesn't either.

    You're referring to the plan Paul Ryan put forth to deal with the entitlements that are currently unfunded by over 50 trillion dollars, and will one day bankrupt the entire country. Yes, Obama and the Democrats care so much about the Middle class, and the whole country, that they refuse to even mention this problem.

    Why would Bush give amnesty to anyone. He was/is a Republican is he not?

    No he didn't. Only in the eyes of people that are not able to use good sense. The ones Obama deported were legit. The ones he gave amnesty, they don't belong to another country.



    No, it's not about following the letter of the law, but the spirit of the law. You don't deport young people who have been here since they were little, who don't even speak the language or have any ties to the country where they were born. You don't seem to mind when they go to war to protect you. That is so typically Republican/conservative, they don't mind getting, but don't like giving.



    It's not hard to find out how he did it, just google it. I'm sure you will find ample articles that will tell you that Bush tanked the country. He handed Obama a recession and lots of bills to pay that would then give Republicans the audacity to say that Obama increased the debt, when most of the bills that were being paid under Obama were Bush's bills. Like two worthless wars and his tax cuts. Perhaps even a Republican can explain it to you, why the candidates didn't even want Bush endorsing them. It will be interesting to see if the GOP will even allow Bush to speak at the Republican Convention. I'm thinking they won't.

    Ha! It was okay when Bush shredded the Constitution with his warrantless evesdropping and using water boarding on prisoners, but now all of a sudden Republican/conservatives have become so conscientious about enforcing the laws? And, say what you want, Democrats/Liberals do have a heart, they've been fighting for the under-dog while the Republican party has been catering to the rich and those that hope that some of the money from the rich will trickle down to them and they too, someday will be rich. In the meantime, they don't mind losing benefits and just paying taxes to increase the wealth of the rich, because they have been brainwashed to think it is for their good.

    Where is that socialist Liberal Minority that lurks these forums? I'm surprised he's not here gloating about the dependency of the people that reside in the US.

    That's a great advertisement for the Republican party. But you'd be wrong. Reagan went along with the liberal Dems and granted amnesty back in the 80's.

    According to whom? You? Pardon me if I'm not easily convinced by the partisan ramblings of Obama sycophants. I'll stick with the written laws of this country, thanks.

    Illegal aliens are a huge financial drain on this country and we cannot tolerate their neediness any longer. We have real Americans out there who are suffering in poverty and chronic joblessness. There are not enough jobs for everyone. But the left doesn't care about the American citizens who do not have jobs and are in poverty. They'd rather pimp illegals for new voters.

    Besides, you're wrong. It's not just the "young people who have been here since they were little" who are getting amnesty. Thanks to this recent SCOTUS ruling, any illegal who is in Arizona has de facto amnesty. If they do not commit a felony, the Federal Government has already said they are not going to do anything to them. More lawlessness and anti-Constitutional actions from the party of flag burning and pissing on the Constitution.

    The economy that Bush handed to Obama was mostly the result of the mortgage meltdown, which he had nothing to do with. Bush did spend a lot of money, but the sums he racked up pale in comparison with Obama's spending. Obama has spent more in 3 years than Bush did in 8, and Bush was called "unpatriotic" by Obama for spending that much.

    Obama extended and enhanced the Patriot Act. Ever heard of NDAA?

    Democrats/liberals pander to "underdogs" for votes. There is nothing big hearted about it. The more groups they can lure into their tent with freebies (paid for by the productive people in this country), the more leeches they can attach on our Democratic system, in the hopes of one day being in a position where they can never lose an election. Expect the complete collapse of the country soon after that happens. Liberals are parasites, and the host body is running out of blood.

    The generally accepted belief is that he/she is a right-winger who is posing as a liberal to mock their beliefs. There is now a left-winger doing the same thing under a different username.
