our allies and enemies haven't changed a whit. and with obama's drone attacks, he certainly has taken things even further than bush did in that regard. and as for withdrawing from iraq, i'm glad we did that. it was planned before he took office, so that wasn't a change of plan on his part-it was a continuation. his style is different, the policies remain the same.
did you notice the democratic party reaffirming israel being our ally, and them going on record about jerusalem being their capital. that hasn't even been part of our official policy. another step further. saying we are 'resetting' relations with russia is a far cry from actually doing so, and at least the current admin didn't say something as ridiculously stupid as bush did when he said he 'saw in putins eyes' that he was a good guy. now, that's a stroke of naivete if i ever saw one.
we haven't fought to win in afganistan since entering that stupid war. remember, the one war expanding to two, with much of the focus being placed on iraq, where we should never have gone? and had we not gone there, you wouldn't be having the bs with iran that you have-which is exactly why bush one didn't push into iraq back with the first gulf war. and had we not invaded iraq, the focus would have remained solely on afganistan from the start. we went in with guns blazing, completely ignoring history in afganistan, and the fact that a 'war' on terror isn't exactly going to be conventionally fought...and knowing the track records for countries invading that wasteland, it would turn out a waste anyway.
and you're right, nothing has changed. which was my point. we're still involved in the morass bush started in afganistan. we're still seeing problems that came from us going into iraq. meanwhile, everything else is pretty much status quo, except maybe with egypt-and that's probably balanced by libya.


and it's not obama's 'story' that the film was the cause of the attacks. it's the cause of the protests. the attack was pre-planned, and took place when they felt an opportune moment came.
and i guess you've ignored all the people in those countries who are standing up for us, and are ashamed of what's occurred? but then, if you did, it wouldn't help your whole 'obama sucks' argument.

How can you just not laugh at these ****ing idiots and basically ignore their entire argument. How can you be for continuing these unjust wars and for entering new ones and also be against the spiraling debt? They are for the cause yet against the effect. In their mind they get to blame in either case. In reality they just look like the ****ing idiots that they are. Call them on it and they will completely spin in a different directions like cutting the size of the government which is needed but won't even come close to covering the cost of the existing and new wars. Their circular argument is more like a circle jerk with the same result, getting them off on blamin Obama for either of the results. I was going to write in Ron Paul as his views align with my own. After reading all this **** being spewed here I am now voting for Obama to cancel out a vote for Romney.

jms and zig don't be passive supporters - help support your guy! ;)

Are you 10? When you contribute something ANYFUKING thing of substance to any thread I will treat you with the respect you deserve which at this point is none.

yeah, i know it.
imo there is a complete lack of logic in many of the posts here. there's emotion, but not much actual thought.
if people are angry about the deficit, why would you vote for someone who wishes to grow defense?
if you are worried about taxes, why would you vote for someone whose primary tax plan is to cut taxes for the richest? you know, the ones paying less taxes than ever, and yet there's no correlating job growth?
if you are concerned about medicare, why would you vote for someone who advocates a voucher system?
if you're concerned about foreign affairs, why would you vote for someone who hasn't got a clue about foreign affairs?
if you're concerned about our standing in the world, why would you vote for someone who rushes to a press release without having the full story? how does that connote good leadership? i've heard of strike while the iron is hot, but the fire hadn't even been lit yet.
if you're unhappy with how banking completely effed up the economy, why would you vote for the guy who wants to remove regulations on banks?
if the republican party couldn't find someone better than that idiot, it doesn't say much for the future of the gop.

yeah, he's not my guy. i think i'm going to do a write in for ron paul.

Don't waste it. Vote for the guy out of the 2 you dislike least otherwise the one you dislike most may win.

yeah, i don't view it as a waste, even tho a vote for paul won't do much overall. and it seems that romney will win arkansas, which is amazing to me. this state is still primarily democratic, but they can't stand obama. hillary would carry the state tho, had she gotten the nomination.

I thought about this a bit more and realize that my anybody but Romney is as narrow minded as the anti Obama clowns. I am going to listen to how Romney is going increase jobs, reduce out sourcing and the destruction of the middle class. If I think it is workable i will vote for him. Cutting taxes on the "job creators" and business assuming they will create quality jobs is not a workable solution. I want to see punitive measures aginst the process. I want to see tariffs equal to what american companies pay. I want to see companies taxed heavily for shipping jobs out of the country. Policies of the 1970's no longer are viable.

Zig...it was a joke

that's the thing; i have listened to what he has to say. if you look back thru my posts, not long ago i said i hadn't made up my mind. but after watching, listening, reading, i can say i don't see anything about romney's plans that i like. i don't care for the direction we've taken in the last few years, but i don't see mitt being an improvement. there's just too much in this plans that i think would be worse than what we have now.
i don't like his take on defense, taxes, banking regs, foreign policy, domestic policy, civil rights policy....i honestly can't think of one thing right now that he's said that i like. his campaign seems to be predicated on 'obama sucks'. but it is becoming clearer to me as things progess that he sucks worse.

:D i figured; no worries!

Nobody in their right mind goes from voting for Ron Paul to Obama as you couldn't find two more opposite candidates so you aren't fooling anyone JMS. Apparently you aren't too bright either as I wasn't endorsing our previous foreign policy, I was just merely pointing out the differences which are clear. Maybe you should try a reading comprehension class.

I would like to see Ron Paul as President but I am a grown up instead of a whining little baby and realize it isn't going to happen this year.

Obama is the biggest threat to our liberties since FDR, plus he is completely incompetent in managing the economy and in foreign policies. He has to go or we will really regret it.

jMS go ahead and vote for Obama as you are just as big of a fraud as him.

Danzig I was against the Iraq war from the beginning but at least Bush went to Congress for approval I was also against the Libyan war and now look at the mess it has created. But since we were already in Iraq, a sensible pullout would be expected but Obama's pullout is solely for election purposes and that vacuum is being filled by Iran.

Danzig you are ok with drone attacks into another country where innocent people are indiscriminately killed? Something tells me that you wouldn't feel the same way if Bush was behind them.

Again I wasn't taking a stance on Israel, I was just merely pointing out differences in foreign policy. Please don't pretend for one second that Democrat party affirmed Jeresalem as the capital of Israel, even on the third vote the nays clearly drowned out the yeahs.

You're a submissive p.ussy...not a grown up. Go waste your vote on a myth, douche.

Hey Coach Jerkoff, who is almost as crazy and nasty as Riot, chimes in with his usual posts that are high on unoriginal insults and always lacking in substance. As usual, you didn't disappoint. Go back to the fantasy world in your head. It wouldn't shock me if Riot and you are on the same floor in Bellevue's wing for the highly delusional and deeply disturbed,

It is a sad day in this country when Obama can dictate to the media that Romney and an American filmmaker are problem instead of the murdering Islamic terrorists and Obama. It is even sadder when people like Coach Jerkoff sit with their hands down their pants instead of speaking out against Obama's incompetence and his attempt to appease terrorists at the expense of an Ameican's right to free speech. Yeah Coach Jerkoff keep lying to yourself about there not being a difference between an Obama and Romney presidency.

no, i'm not for the drone strikes. if i'm against troops on the ground, why would i be for those? and i am certainly against drone strikes against american citizens.

i gotta tell you, with posts like this being your mode of operation since day one, i don't picture a long posting career here.

Two for one dart
