1) Using IRS as a weapon against political opponents?


Oh how I love this one. The right had raised superpac money 2-1 over the left. You think stalling tax exempt status to a few pacs was a weapon when there are hundreds of pacs raising $400 million for the right in one year?

2) NSA wiretapping of citizens?
Which they were doing before he got in office. Only then (before he got in office) there was no law allowing for it.

3) More than doubling the national debt to $17.8 trillion and rising


Which had as much to do with falling revenues from the crash and the rise in spending was to recover from the crash, which we did. (by the way the debt tripled under Reagan and doubled under Bush)

4) Arming terrorists around the globe and now having to fight those same terrorists?

You're silly

Right, they weren't rising before?

What did he use? A drone? And is it so bad to move to other sources like natural gas which is cleaner and helps Louisiana?

We're drilling now more

Yes, he's the band director.

You really shouldn't it was wrong but you just can't say that. Sad.

Once again you seem to like that BHO has expanded wire tapping. Double sad. Its wrong but you can't say that.

Hey we agree on one!

Damn!
So wire taping IRS targeting and horrible black and black family economic numbers being worse are not horrible?

You really believe this or just a hack? I can't tell. Seems you hate the posters around here more than you hate bad policy.

Yes. Using a government agency to target any person or group is illegal. Thanks for admitting as much.

Again, thanks for admitting it.

Real unemployment is still above 10%. I know you liberals ignore the labor participation rate, but it is a factual component to real unemployment.

You're silly




quote:

Right, they weren't rising before?


Yes they were, but not at the rate that Obamacare rates have skyrocketed peoples policies. It's 100% fact. Why do you think a good portion of your liberal buddies are now using the new theme of "it's a path to single payer, that's what Obamacare should have been". Moving the goal posts.

quote:

1 death, 2 contracted in the US. We had 7500 deaths from AIDS under Reagan before he even mentioned the disease in public in 2007. Now that's managing.


Another admission to a frick up. The thing is, AIDS can't be contracted by standing within 3 feet of a person infected. One is highly infectious and is capable of being eliminated (see Nigeria). Yet your master is too concerned with being PC or proving something to the colonialists than doing actual steps to prevent the spread of this disease to US citizens. Hell, Obama wants to usher all of them into the US so we can be the treatment center for Liberians with Ebola.

quote:

Why not use both? Lives and jobs are affected in coal country. Eliminating one due to pressure from green lobby is pure weakness. And don't act like Obama is a friend to the oil and gas industry. Federal land permits are down under Obama. Private land permits are increasing in spite of Obama's policies. Like it or not, lots of money to be made in the energy sector. But that's the real problem, isn't it. Someone else is working hard to make money, and you can't stand them succeeding while you belly ache over "fair share".

quote:

Republicans filibustered Keystone


Actually they didn't. They filibustered Harry Reid's continued fight on the coal and oil and gas industry. Reid, at the last minute, added the "No amendments to this bill" qualification. The bill, previously, included amendments to loosen restriction on coal and speed up natural gas production. At the last minute, Harry Reid added a "no amendments" stipulation to the bill, and thus the bill was squashed. But of course, you knew that.

quote:

So those drug gangs in Mexico wouldn't have guns to kill people had we not enforced gun laws in the US which you oppose?


No, the killers in Mexico wouldn't have the guns they have now, if the federal government didn't give them to them. We armed the cartels, plain and simple. Sure they would still have some guns if fast and furious didn't take place. But no use in handing over guns to known murderers and then failing to track them, then trying to blame it on private US citizen gun ownership.

quote:

hrough his 47% speech? Through the right's constant rants against democrats being lazy and living off the the govt's teet? Obama did that?


You think the 47% speech was anything but 100% accurate. Look at the votes.
The Democrats have created Occupy Wall Street, White Privilege, Evil wall street, "typical white person" statements.

quote:

Yes, he's the band director.




quote:

That was as of last year. If you claim the recovery has happened, then why are there more people on food stamps now, than ever in the history of this country? You need to get your story straight. Your contradictions argue against you.

quote:

You haven't named one bad thing


Wait, so you try to argue against my points, but in the end, you are stating that all of my points are correct, and aren't bad? Again, check your contradictions.

We were told Obamacare would lower costs.

We were told Obamacare would lower the deficit.

We laughed then. Now that our opinion of the folly that is the ACA is being borne out exactly as we predicted, the response is "costs were going up already." No shite. Now we're spending $100B a year we don't have to increase the speed at which those costs increase. And none of that is decreasing the deficit.
