quote: I like how you qualify your statements. It is like a CYA clause embedded within each post. quote: What are your concerns, if any? Reply Back to Top |
quote:Yep. They're both exactly the same. That's been my argument on here for months. Reply Back to Top |
| Is that kinda like Obama changing positions on the national debt? or the deficit? Or gay marriage? or trayvon's resemblance to his non-existent son? or how much corporate welfare the banks should get? Reply Back to Top |

quote: what he has in store with the DoD spending the crony capitalism i know will continue, but with a different set of beneficiaries fear he will cave to the likes of AARP and lay off reforming medicare quote: well, i'm concerned with who will win, not keeping some pristine complete perfection with the things i support. otherwise i'd run and when'd you turn so douchey?

| Why would I want a president so solid in his ideals he won't do what the people elect him to do or find compromise with the opposite side for the sake of getting shite done. Reply Back to Top |
quote: You misunderstand me. That was a observation of respect. I deal with legal jargon all day long and have to CYA (or CMA) with everything I write all day because it can be considered legal advice. Every email I send out, etc. So, it was meant as a sign of respect of one who thinks about what they say when they are saying it. And my question about your concerns was simply out of curiosity as do not come across as a "politard" but someone who might say something that makes me think or consider. Reply Back to Top |
quote: guess i did. my bad Reply Back to Top |
quote: Reading comprehension not your thing? Building a model for states of the nation vs a federal implementation? Ah, frick it, just use the words however it fits you... quote: Hmmm...sounds familiar... Reply Back to Top |
quote: I can with confidence say that a few nights ago Mitt stood on Obamas neck and stomped his ass. Think about that! Reply Back to Top |
| [quoteWelcome to the Poli Board. The following passes for logic: quote: The election isn't about Romney it's about getting rid of Obama. We can worry about Romney once Obama is gone. One thing a time]. [/quote] Is doing nothing but constantly telling everyone you are in favor of an alternative for which there is literally an absolute zero chance of it ever coming to pass, somehow inherently more "logical"?

quote: To the casual observer. Reply Back to Top |
quote: Nope. That just is not the case. Just because he doesn't rule out military action, does not make him or anyone else "pro-war." Reply Back to Top |
quote: This philosophy sure worked well for Sen. Bennett or Sen Lugar. The days of political compromise seem to be coming to an end in DC. The far right and far left will try and primary you out if you do. Reply Back to Top |
| Most of his position changes have been on social issues. Economically and fiscally he has been pretty consistent. I can forgive him his social issue changes because imo your social stances change a lot more than your economic ones. Reply Back to Top Refresh |
