our insurance
I'm so glad Obama care is supposed to lower our health insurance, ors
is going up over 26 dollars a pay period, and we have to change
companies with higher copays, and 90% coverage, (was 100% coverage)

so thank you obama for the lower insurance costs!

The wife and I are retired, so we pay for our insurance out of our own
pocket. 100%. It has been going up the last few years...especially last
year. If Obama keep "lowering" out rates we won't be able to afford it
anymore.

I have a good friend that owns a small business with about 125
employees. He keeps close tabs on the financial situation, Washington
D.C., etc. Studies it very closely. I complained to him about our rising
insurance costs and he said, "It's only going to get worse."

'Course, that may depend on what happens November 6th.

Totally agree. I was SO onboard with Ryan until that moment. Ironic that
Lawrence O'Donnell dismissed the political validity of the question
("how your private religion affects your public policy") that led to
that admission.

Now I have to continue the struggle in undecided land. I also think that
the media and pundits misrepresent the undecided as "low information"
voters. Some of us are very high information voters who are so on the
fence over the social policies being touted by the republicans, that we
are considering swallowing the social democracy pill and taking the
chance on suffering financially for a few extra years.

im not undecided, there are far more important issues right now, we
need financial security, Obama will not give us that period, end of
story.
and there is no way this country is going to stop abortions period,
not gonna happen, no matter who is in charge

but the left will tear this apart (and they should if they want to
win)

again, no way will abortion ever get banned, and if anyone really
thinks it will, I think they are silly, I won't say stupid as this is
a very passionate subject for many, me, not so much so.

Not according to th' polls I've read this am, more Independants are
leaning towards Romney/Ryan after th' VP debate than Obama/Biden.
Abortion is *way* th' fuck down near th' bottom of th' priorities

I guess I just know to many people that think abortion is birth

pretty straight forward and he is surprised at the polls right now as
well, it does seem like Romney is stil pulling away from obama

but lets see what happens over the next few days/week and see if the

Funny since the last few years health insurance has not been affected by
the current admin.

Bzzzzt.
26 year olds on mom and dads insurance?
No limits on care?
Pre-existing conditions?

Yes, these are all part of the Obamacare law right now.
The reason these were put in place first is to have the cream rise to
the top, and let the shit... come out later.

"You will NOT lose the insurance you have now". <O'bama>

Ask the food service restaurants that are now not allowing any worker
to punch in for more than 30 hours. Since they're no longer 'full
time employees', these restaurants can drop their health insurance for
these workers. Red Lobster and Olive Garden... both had GREAT
coverage for their employees previously.

If Romney/Ryan are elected and they appoint Supreme Court judges who
overturn Roe v. Wade, that will not stop abortions. It will simply refer
it to the individual states. Abortions will still be available...they
just won't be subsidized by federal dollars.

My friend who owns the business I mentioned in an earlier post (125
employees) says that the economy is in such a downward spiral that he is
probably going to drop all health insurance for his employees and just
pay the fine. It's a lot cheaper...for now. He says that eventually the
fine for not providing insurance will increase to the point where it is
more expensive than insurance. That's a few more years down the
Obamacare highway and he'll need to make more decisions once he gets there.

The best argument for subsidized abortions is the welfare mothers who pop
put babies like a meat grinder. It's cheaper to abort than support. The
other side is far more welfare babies would exist if subsidized abortion
didn't, they aren't all going to grow up to productive members of society.
Crime would rise. Welfare would be needed more than it is now and I'm a
fairly anti welfare state guy. Keep it legal, keep it subsided. Pays for

Private insurers that provide coverage for nearly 174 million Americans
must now justify double-digit premium increases, and nearly 76 million
Americans are covered by insurers that are now required to spend at least
80% of premium dollars on health care.

360,000 small businesses received a tax credit in 2011 to help them pay for
health insurance for an estimated 2 million workers.

Health insurance reform lowers costs for American businesses - especially
small businesses - who are struggling to remain profitable and competitive
under the status quo. The independent Congressional Budget Office confirmed
that the bill would lower health insurance premiums for the same insurance
plan by up to 4 percent for small businesses and 3 percent for large
businesses, and estimates indicate that reform could save businesses $2,000
per person in health costs.

The health policy experts and economists who have looked at this
legislation have said we are pursuing every possible mechanism to reduce
health care costs. The Congressional Budget Office found that health
insurance reform will reduce the deficit by $210 billion in this decade and
by more than $1 trillion over the following 10 years. And a family of four
would save as much as $2,300 on their premiums in 2014 compared to what
they would have paid without reform.

my whole point was, what people "heard" the Pro life groups will do
their best to turn this into a abortion election, just like a certain
person here once said, (palin scared them because palin was going to
out law birth control) why because palin is pro life? she never said
she would stop birth control......

it all boils down to what people hear. they didn't hear the details.

I don;t like my tax money going to pay for abortions either, I also
dont; like my tax dollars going to pay for free cell phones, hell I
don't even want them going to pay for free home phones, (lifeline) we
already have to pay for free 911 when there is no phone service at
someone home

No it is not, in fact it is doing just the opposite, the health
insurance providers are going to have to add 60 billion a year in
expenses to PAY the feds , I've posted this to you before!

and our health insurance just sent out our packets for next years ins,
our ins went up, quite a bit!
5% monthly premium rise,
co-pay went up 75% UP 75%!!
and now it will not pay 100% of the bill , only 90%! the insurers did
not even offer a 100% coverage plan this year,

Are you suggesting that people who don't have home phones shouldn't

Agreed. I knew what you meant. I was responding to the "...I was SO
onboard with Ryan until that moment..." reply noted above.

As you said, people hear what they want to hear and then react (or
over-react as the case may be) to their interpretation of what was said.
I 'spose we're all guilty of that to some degree or another.

Again, I agree wit ya. Too many parasites in this country. There are two
prime examples in my family. I have a niece and nephew, both in their
late 30s, who have discovered that they have "disabilities" and are
unable to work. It took my niece about a year and a half to be deemed
disabled. She tried mimicking several different mental disorders with no
success. They kept turning her down. She finally was able to act
bi-polar well enough that they tagged her as crazy. (Or perhaps they
just got tired of her coming in all the time and trying out different
mental disorders and said, "Screw it. You're crazy. Here's your money.
Now get out of my office!") When that happened she came to a family
gathering and literally bragged about it! My nephew jumped through
similar hoops until they gave him disability payments, too. They get all
sorts of perks, and do nothing but sit around the house and eat free
food while they play on the high speed internet (which you and I pay
for) all day. One of these days when the money dries up and the gubmint
can't afford to support 'em anymore they are gonna come knocking on my
door saying they are hungry and homeless. I will reply with, "Fuck you.
Get a job." Then I'll slam the door.

Not like I have an opinion or anything.

You didn't watch the debate?

Ryan brought up abortion when the moderator asked them each to respond
to how their Catholic religion would impact their policy making. At
least that's what I witnessed.

Huh? Oh. I get it, you're saying the moderator was baiting him. I was
saying that Ryan was (still) throwing ideological meat, but to the wrong
audience, and it cost him. The primaries are over. He's on the ticket.
Time to avoid controversial social issues and remain focused on the economy.

>

Moral compass? I thought we were talking about politicians.

Biden's comment on abortion matches my own philosophy on the subject.
Ryan's comments on the economy were (and always have been) compelling
enough to warrant consideration.

I was just agreeing with Tom's point of view that mentioning abortion to
the undecided voters is a losing proposition. Especially this late in
the game. That (liberal societal/rights) shit is more important than he
seemed to realize.

The "are you better off" argument doesn't work with me. I'm not any
worse off than anyone else in my wage range given the crash of the
financial markets in 2008. In fact, the only "real" impact any of the
past 6 years has had on me, was my 401k.

I'm pretty well fiscally responsible (20-30% down payment on debts that
I can afford). I could have made better decisions for sure with respect
to my retirement funding and some equity borrowing for shit that wasn't
a need, but none of that had anything to do with the economy. It just
has to do with my choices about where to put my money and how to enjoy
my life in the now.

I have a decent house which is worth more than I owe and more than I
paid, a decent 401k balance (which I would argue was artificially
inflated through 2000-2007 by the housing bubble in the first place, so
really, I'm wear I would have been without the housing bubble), a good
paying job, and good health benefits (in spite of Romneycare).

I guess you could say I'm right where I would have been, had there been
no housing bubble. I've earned my way to where I am through education
and on the job training in a field that is, and will continue to be in
demand until I retire; information technology.

Best wishes to all for the next 4 years.

Abortion has been one of th' O's phoney wars for quite some time. It
was on *th list* of topics she was gonna cover. Married to th' war on
women that doesn't exist. They've got more straw men than matches.
Ryan's not afraid to state his position, only an idiot would conclude
they're going to make abortions illegal. Those would be O voters, he
can have 'em.

I'd love to see some proof that "it cost him" anything. Take all of

O had this election wrapped up before th' debate and today he's barely
got four, yeah, four states that he has solidly in his favor and only
three leaning his way: http://preview.tinyurl.com/8ojuook That's a

Yer either in favor of abortions or yer not, ain't any gray area

I don't cater to th' lowest common denominator (idiots) and neither

I didn't realize you were a business owner with employee's. I've had

Hmmmmmm. Good question. I don't know for sure. Neither of them had any
insurance for years before they became "disabled." It may be a state
funded program, too. They live in IL. Regardless, they're getting their
livelihood provided by someone...and it isn't them, so "we" must be
paying for it.

Those are CORPORATIONS. Always and only acting in what's in their best
interest, their being the shareholders, the shareholders being the major
shareholders. Regardless of insurance costs, they will always act in their
own interests. Let's see the specific link about Red Lobster and Olive
Garden indicating they are forcing reduced 30 hour or less weeks? I assume

If you haven't heard about this, you've got your head in the sand or
only watch MSNBC where it was not covered. Put Red Lobster, Olive
Garden and reduced hours in a Google Search and pick the news source
*you* trust for the information. I ain't yer spoon.

Besides that, YES they are CORPORATIONS. They are SUPPOSED to look
for the best way to tun a profit. PROFITS ARE GOOD. Making money is
good.... do you know what the side benefits are for people making
profits... jobs. Ain't that something? O'bama doesn't understand
that.

Nobody opened a company and said "I'm going to open this company to
see how many jobs I can create". Every one of them opened a company
to MAKE MONEY! As they made money, people were offered jobs to keep
the company going/expanding.

My little company employes many people only because I have the ability
to pay someone else to do the work, and *I* don't have the time or
expertise. From lawyers to accountants to landscapers to pool boys
(well Pauline pays for them), to even getting my car washed.
All of that is minor compared to what the *really* wealthy pay for.

Let's tax Romney some more... say another 7 million a year. He can
well afford it. He gives *away* 7 million a year.

Now who do you think will benefit more from that 7 million?
Who do you thnk will be hurt more from not having that 7 million.
Let's not forget, he's already paid millions in taxes...

huh? did you get up for a beer?

Heading into the closing stages of Thursday night’s vice presidential
debate in Danville, Ky., moderator Martha Raddatz of ABC News steered
the conversation away from foreign policy and the economy and toward
abortion, a development that pleased both President Obama’s
re-election campaign and some liberal media commentators.

Raddatz, who has been under fire in recent days for her decades-old
association with President Barack Obama, instructed Vice President Joe
Biden and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to discuss their Catholic faith as
it regards the emotional and intensely personal issue


“We have two Catholic candidates, first time, on a stage such as
this,” Raddatz said. ”And I would like to ask you both to tell me what
role your religion has played in your own personal views on abortion.
Please talk about how you came to that decision. Talk about how your
religion played a part in that. And, please — this is such an
emotional issue for so many people in this country — please talk
personally about this, if you could.”

The upside of capitalism at work.

But the downside to capitalism is its agnostic position on the social
welfare (societal well being) of a nation.

We cannot be a nation of capitalists only, we must also be "socialists"
(but not in the traditional ideological sense).

A good simple read is the wiki page on "social democracy". Especially
the part where SD morphs into a "better" and more mature political
ideology after WWII by realizing the historical need to addresses the
down side of capitalism without crushing the upside of capitalism.

Trying to remain unbiased, neutral, and wanting to have a simple,
somewhat informed, educated, and productive public dialogue in the
future and for the future generations like my kids... and not advocating
for any particular political system... I'm trying to reconcile what I
see happening, with how I "feel" about it, so that I can move from
emotion to intellect. Admittedly, that's not easy as a human being.

It might be that what is happening in politics as it regards the rich
and the poor (the "owner" and the "laborer") is simply the result of the
intellectual and emotional framework of a left vs right ideology.

Specifically, the current political dialogue seems to indicate that we
may be seeing ourselves (owners and laborers) as "different" with
respect to "give and take".

Both lefties and righties consider the other party to be takers. Lefties
see righties as taking collective wealth from the laborers, and righties
see see lefties as taking that collected wealth from the individual
owners for whatever purpose. The most heinous of which we all agree (as
laborers and owners), is the redistribution of that wealth to those who
are neither owners or laborers.

A better framework for a dialogue on the economy is non-political and
void of any ideology. Simply stated, an entrepreneur invests capital
into setting up a business. A laborer invests capital into his skills.

The framework then is that laborers are the smallest business unit and
that we are all capitalists. What remains is a matter of scale and
complexity.

As businessmen of varying levels of wealth, means, and skill, it doesn't
seem unreasonable to me that in order to have a "nation", we have to owe
it to each other to stand up for each other, to have some loyalty, and
to collectively improve our skill sets and productivity as a means of
increasing wealth for all, not just for ourselves.

The problem with the economy is then easily understood as a breakdown in
the relationship between large and small businesses. Where larger
business owners are forgoing any sense of loyalty to the country and its
small business owners, even the unit laborer, in order to increase their
own wealth.

The downside to capitalism.

Capitalism is only half of the equation when it comes to the welfare of
a nation. It is up to charitable (or generous if you prefer) people to
manage capitalism for the benefit of society as a whole, rather than let
capitalism rule in its agnosticism toward society.

Peace out.

Yeah, I read the transcript pretty much right after reading Snarl's
reply. I definitely got my wires crossed on how the subject came up.

But, I still agree that it had a negative impact (at the very least
potentially large enough to be a problem), and think it would have been
wise to dodge the issue this late in the game.

I think we all agree that the bigger issues are economic and how liberal
policies may negatively impact an already ailing economy. Ryan would
have done well to play politician, avoid the subject, and divert back to
the economy.

Just talking about Jobs here, Steve... and how they're created.

All the other social issues are another thing... including how the

Totally agreed.

I will openly admit to my own ignorance about most of this stuff, and
how that ignorance is not without personal consequence. Social Studies
was never my strong suit back in my school days. I was more interested
in tech stuff (and killing brain cells, which was an odd combination as
far as my friends were concerned). But the current political environment
is spilling all over everything and every forum imaginable, and having
(finally) awakened to the fact that my kids are going to have to survive
in this world, I'm putting in the effort to both understand the issues,
help them understand, and try to diffuse the ideological "belief"
systems that trigger emotional responses, especially my own.

I don't like the either/or mentality that seems to be out there right
now, but it is what it is. I went down to the town offices on Friday to
be sure I was still registered as undeclared. I can't put Romney in the
Whitehouse because I live in one of the few states that are pretty much
guaranteed for Obama, but my vote will definitely count in the Brown v.
Warren election, whichever way I go.

Th' O *had* over th' 270 required electoral college votes before th'
first debate, fuck, he was over 300 for a bit. His numbers ain't
goin' up, they're sinking like a fucking rock. And every time O's
drops, Romney's rise. See th' Toss Ups category? Over half of those
used to be th' O's. He ain't gettin' 'em back. Period. Matter of
fact most of 'em are flippin' to Romney as we speak... you just watch.

Th' O doesn't have anything to raise himself back up. It's too late.
Th' curtain was removed and th' nekkid little man was exposed as th'
empty suit he really is in th' debate. Romney cleaned his fucking
clock. There's never been a debate where th' challenger kicked th'
incumbents ass that bad. 68% - Romney to 20% - O

That jazzed th' hell out of th' Republican base as per th' early voter
numbers. Th' Democrat numbers aren't anywhere near where they were in
'08, not even half in some states, whereas th' R's are in record
number territory. Keep yer good eye on th' Independents numbers.
Romney is taking them too.

From a lobbyists point of view, once you convert someone to your side,
they'll be yer best and most dependable ally. It's every lobbyists
goal; get as many of those converts as ya can and you will win. Team
O has already lost more support than they can afford. Th' states
they're losing are goners and their voter pool is shrinking, not
growing. Romney's is going th' opposite direction.

Th' kicker is team O's losing its most valuable asset, th' MSM.
They've been carryin' his water for over four years now and that
debate let alla them lapdogs get run over by da buss, big time. They
are pissed off!!!

Th' O can't put th' curtain back up and they all know it. Th' fucking
gig is up. I'm betting my business on it. Literally.

Speakin' of that, guess which President said and did this:

"This administration pledged itself last summer to an
across-the-board, top-to-bottom cut in personal and corporate income
taxes to be enacted and become effective in XXXX. I am not talking
about a quickie or a temporary tax cut which would be more appropriate
if a recession were imminent. Nor am I talking about giving the
economy a mere shot in the arm to ease some temporary complaint. The
federal government's most useful role is not to rush into a program of
excessive increases in public expenditures, but to expand the
incentives and opportunities of private expenditures."

"When consumers purchase more goods, plants use more of their
capacity, men are hired instead of laid off, investment increases, and
profits are high. Corporate tax rates must also be cut to increase
incentives and the availability of investment capital. The government
has already taken major steps this year to reduce business tax
liability and to stimulate the modernization, replacement, and
expansion of our productive plant and equipment."

"Our true choice is not between tax reduction on the one hand and the
avoidance of large federal deficits on the other. It is increasingly
clear that no matter what party is in power, so long as our national
security needs keep rising, an economy hampered by restrictive tax
rates will never produce enough revenues to balance our budget, just
as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits. Surely the
lesson of the last decade is that budget deficits are not caused by
wild-eyed spenders, but by slow economic growth and periodic
recessions, and any new recession would break all deficit records. In
short, it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and
tax revenues are too low. And the soundest way to raise the revenues
in the long run is to cut the rates now."

Take a look at social capitalism.

Even Milton Friedman advocated a level playing field, but that can
certainly allow basic regulation to become acute to the point of
corruption and damage.

What needs to be addressed is the notion that when times are good, the
private sector keeps the profits and when the private sector crashes
public treasure is expected to recapture all loss.

Add to that the number of government employees, bureaucrats, where
efficiency/performance and accountability are severely lacking. A year
old WSJ article places their total number somewhere around 22-25
million. While many are entirely necessary, the drain to the economy is
too high. Their retirement funds are invested in the private sector,
overseen by bureaucrats who may well have no real financial experience.
No matter, the funds are guaranteed by the taxpayer, loss or no loss.

So, as I am running out of wind, feel free to cheer, the real thing that
bugs middle class folks on down is their susceptibility to the effects
of loss not being shared by the wealthy. No big news, in days of yore
the princes and nobles taxed peasants and artisans to finance their
quests for power and prestige, nice tapestry, silver plate and jewel
embroidered cloth. They also showed the less fortunate how to rape,
plunder and pillage... yea, I know, too much second wind.

As you were...

"“This is a very slight increase,” said Barbara Anthony, the state
undersecretary of consumer affairs and business regulation. “If you look
at the data since 2010, there’s been a continued moderation in average
rate increases. Compared to where we were two years ago when average
base rate increases were in the teens, they’re now in the low single
digits.”"

"Anthony cited the Patrick administration’s efforts to rein in health
costs, culminating in a law signed by the governor Monday that allows
medical care spending to grow no faster than the state’s economy through
2017."

How about this, - you see YOU just made my point!!,

the feds made a law that every single person must comply with!
it is called Obama Care - they made this law, for you I and every
other sheep to be forced to buy health care insurance!

why do you think the insurance lobbies did not fight the 60 billion a
year they pay the gov!!! they want to get rich perhaps????

here it is - want to get rich?
provide something and make that product/service a law that forces
everyone to buy it.

who just won? the insurance companies at your tax expense.....

just like with M/C helmets years ago when they were mandated law, just
like when the patents for R-12 were expiring

how many people can afford to buy stock that are now forced to buy
health care ins?

the guy making 40k a year that has 2.5 kids at home and gets more back

Come on schmoe,, your no dummy! I see that, your not stupid, your just
not doing your own research, your taking what is fed to you, read what
I just said, obamacare is backed by the feds, who are owned by the
insurance lobby, just like many other companies, do you know the
insurance lobbies pay less tax revenue than oil companies so many
bitch and moan about and make higher profits per dollar? hell
Microsoft pays less and gates is what, the richest MF around? and an
obama buddie!

wake up to this bullshit!

obama care WAS NOT FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE it will never lower the
health care insurance costs!! howcan it? it is set up to raise them ,
now saying that obamacae will be over 2.7 trillion, not the 900

While that is always a good goal, and I would not try to pretend to
know your financial circumstances... let me say this, about that.

Debt is good. (moderation always).
Housing debt at 4% interest is the best thing any *young* person has
going for them RIGHT now. Again (moderation, if you're not underwater
and you can manage the payments (1/4 of your earnings).

Even a car loan at 2 or 3% is ok,,, (again see above regarding percent
of income).

Reason: The stock market is returning 10 to 12% right now. Do the
math.

The interest rates might stay low another 12 to 18 months.... after
that, we have to pay for the money we've been printing. Interest
rates WILL rise. In an inflationary period, it's better to have debt
(if you're a consumer, NOT the government).

Economics 101 is done for today.

The above class does NOT take into account, paying off a mortgage to
get rid of debt to make your life easier... nor does it imply you
should go INTO debt to take the money and *play* the market.

it was a bs statement,
but it may well cut health care "costs" to the insurers!

Correct, on both counts. Kid. Most peoples first guess is Ronald

I loved obama's little speech on coal last night.........

I got a laugh out of it

K, got a laugh out of statement that said he is making it easier for
those that work here legally to get green cards, she flat called him a
liar and that thye have made it hared, she deals with that everyday

she also got a kick out his statements of bringing manufacturing back
and who he has on his boards, like the GE sitting on them, which she
also deals with everyday

he is pretty much a flat liar,

then again, romney might be as w2ell, but I feel if he is, kick his
ass out too, obama has already proven his record, SHIT

Reality is Tom I'm a true, die hard indie. I belong to no party, I have
voted for both. I lean socially left and fiscally right. I understand that
it seems at odds with each other but it's not.

If the GOP platform was not owned/cooped by the Christian/faux religious
right, did not want to OVER fund the military, illegalize AND stop govt
funding of Planned Parenthood etc... and stopped including morons like
Palin, Ryan and the Louisianna douchebag....they'd probably have me. There
are many original GOP fundamentals I agree with. Take your party back.

Healthcare rates have been skyrocketing long before Obamacare. You must

Have you actually researched both sides or just that what your read must be
true because you chose to read it or because someone you like told you to
read it so again it must be true.

Snarl, your life is defined by your opinion. If someone doesn't agree with
your opinion or what you read, they are simply wrong and then, in typical
GOP format, the insults are hurled, a sure sign of an inferior argument.

Agreed. There is no such thing as "clean coal". It's a left scam.

Both are liars. Left supported free trade with China and the RMB imbalance
because it supplies the U.S. with what it covers the very most, cheap
consumables. Neither party has the alls to fuck with that!

no it is not I agree to some extent, I have the same opinion, but to
say I lean socially left, is wrong,
Me I want the gov to keep out of our lives, with have plenty of laws
on the books now, hell many need to be removed, socially left also
keeps a stupid amount of people living on welfare, the left is worse
than the right in that aspect as well as some of the other stupid
shit, - gun laws would just be one more of them. and I give a shit

actually this is the highest hike I have seen in one single year as
long as I can remember, our HI is under her policy now, but it is the
highest her working for this company, (which is 12 years now I think,
and employees some 440,000 employees) her previously working for the
DOD and my policies before that.

BUT you must remember Obama said this will lower our costs! and yes
there is more to come in the next two years, you think the ins
industry is not going to make up the 60 billion a year they will be
paying the gov?

Obama said it would lower it plain and simple,

why is it you like the gov to put more laws into place?,
where did the constitution ever say you must be forced to have health
care?

more laws, bigger gov, more spending, forcing someone else to be what
you want them to be.

Churches have nothing to do with it. A private church does not have to
marry anyone. Marriage is a state contract. The religious part as you well
know is strictly optional, one which many people today disavow. Churches
won't be REQUIRED to marry gays.

sheesh, you see you are a typical left wing nutcase,


lets get a couple things straight

bomb shelter, well not a bad idea really, but I have kids and K has
family scattered all over the country, should shit hit the fan, I
won't be able to get them here to be safer (key word safer)

IMo if it gets that bad, it is going to be one fucked up mess, if it
gets as bad as some people think, I'm not sure I want to survive it,
hell if I can;t get my family to safety then fuck it, no reason to
exist.........

hopefully i'd spit some beechnut in some pricks eyes and shoot him
with my ole 45 on my way out..........

<g>

yea, I've met some of them that think like that though, I'd sitll want
to see them stop a platoon coming down the street (from a distance)

fuck obama he is a looser, he has done nothing to fix squat, time to
let someone else have a go at it.

just like your left wing nuts said about bush fucking everything up
and they said Give obama a chance, well he's had it............ he's a
fuckup

When a centrist like me says they lean socially left, they're talking
about the government making laws that keep others from telling us what
we can't do.

Like get an abortion.
Marry someone of the same sex.
Serve in the military.
Ride without a helmet.

> force churches to marry gay? I thought we were supposed to keep church

Actually, it was churches like the Episcopalians that first accepted gay
marriage. It's the state that's against it. Of course, we all know that
"state" means, folks who are afraid of others being allowed to live as
they choose, largely right leaning socialists (moral collectivists) like
Christian conservatives, who see everything that makes them socially
uncomfortable (afraid) as a sin worthy of hellfire and damnation (if
stated in more amiable terms by the nicer of them).
