Thats awesome. Looks like I need to vote for Rudy Guiliani. We agree on everything. :dthumb:

Looks l ike the Dems and i are polar opposites.

Countdown to when some members get their panties in a wad and the thread goes down in flames: 10...9...8...

Whew! Thank God that took a load off my mind. Now I know who to vote for so I will turn my attention once again to finding a cure for cancer and solving the Kennedy assassination...After that come up with a way to get rid of all the UFOs..:leaving:

Countdown to when some members get their panties in a wad and the thread goes down in flames: 10...9...8... yikes...I guess that didn't occur to me for some reason. Let's talk about something less controversial. What oil is best? hahaha!

What happened to to good ole days of just a few candidates rather than the cluster**** of people we have now.

Whew! Thank God that took a load off my mind. Now I know who to vote for so I will turn my attention once again to finding a cure for cancer and solving the Kennedy assassination...After that come up with a way to get rid of all the UFOs..:leaving: cancer is treated by diet coke, kennedy is living in china under an assumed name, and the UFOs will go away if you just put on the tinfoil hat the voices keep telling you to wear.

thats it, I am moving to another country!! yee gawd, I didnt like how that turned out at all!!

thats it, I am moving to another country!! yee gawd, I didnt like how that turned out at all!! :slol:

What happened to to good ole days of just a few candidates rather than the cluster**** of people we have now. its called the primaries pal...

I would about say I dont give a f**k who wins as long as it isnt Hilary Clinton. :slol:

Countdown to when some members get their panties in a wad and the thread goes down in flames: 10...9...8... I feel obligated now... Ok here's the deal... Until the Dems select a candidate that doesn't suck my hairy butthole, they will never get my vote. Not especially impressed with some of the Rep choices, though a couple have caught my interest. Dems just seem really out of touch with what I consider important and/or correct... Which sucks, because Dem's are the 'feel good' choice... unfortunatly more taxes, bigger government, and less personal accountability do not make me feel good.

I have a bunch of no names at the top of my list. Barack is my lowest and Hilary is 1 point above him. Guiliani is my highest big name candidate.

my vote would goto bill, but never hilary, she is too much of a wacko for me

A term of six years with a limit of just one term would be one way to eliminate the four initial "lame duck" years that every President goes through while trying to appease everyone and get re-elected.

A term of six years with a limit of just one term would be one way to eliminate the four initial "lame duck" years that every President goes through while trying to appease everyone and get re-elected. 4 years with a bad president is bad enough. I dont want to see some guy in there for 6 years if he is doing a horrible job.

4 years with a bad president is bad enough. I dont want to see some guy in there for 6 years if he is doing a horrible job. We're going on 8 years of this current douche bag...how much worse can it get?

Thats awesome. Looks like I need to vote for Rudy Guiliani. We agree on everything. :dthumb: **** that lying piece of ****. All he does is tout 911 and he is a huge ****ing hypocrite. RON PAUL '08

okay, lets not get heated here...it's only for fun!! :skep:

4 years with a bad president is bad enough. I dont want to see some guy in there for 6 years if he is doing a horrible job. Yeah, but 4 years of a good president isn't enough to do anything positive. Thus the six year compromise. It's better than eight years.

Hey, now, no need for anyone to mention any specific presidents--past or present. This isn't a "my favorite president has a bigger package than your favorite president" thread. :lol:

okay, lets not get heated here...it's only for fun!! :skep: :) I am having fun. I love politics. Debating is how I get my jollies.

Our election system needs some work...I know, let's do it like American Idol, where we vote a candidate off every month till election time! Then if the one we end up with is doing a terrible job we send him to "Survivor", if he does well "Dancing with the Stars"!

At least it's a system the common man can understand. :lol: yea its called the people vote but that doesnt count. Its the electoral vote the elects.

yea its called the people vote but that doesnt count. Its the electoral vote the elects. Well, the people's vote does count indirectly; just as it does with bills that are passed by Congress, and bills that are passed or vetoed by the President. We have representatives in order to prevent a tyranny of the majority. People in general are stupid and panicky. While representatives tend to also be stupid and panicky, they are significantly less so than your average voter. :lol:

"The needs of the many, out weigh the needs of the few" Mr Spock was a closet communist!:yikes: Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups!

Political thread that's lasted 3 pages? WOW!

and 9 times out of 10 will do/say what ever is neeeded to secure their job :lol: Even tho they never have any intension to follow thru with any of it :lol: Verily so. Which is why getting reelected should never be legal without, say, 80% of the vote. :lol:

Thats awesome. Looks like I need to vote for Rudy Guiliani. We agree on everything. :dthumb: rudy guiliani is a fascist all you guys that say no big government intrusion are signing up for just that with rudy guliani just look at his record as mayor of new york. What do you want more the government taking care of you and providing you with "safety" or the freedom to look after yourself.

I managed to disagree with every single candidate on Iraq except tom candredo who the hell is that guy....:slol:

What do you want more the government taking care of you and providing you with "safety" or the freedom to look after yourself. You obviously know nothing about the guy. A fascist? Do you know the true definition of fascism? The guy doesnt want to control anything. He is against socailized medicine, he is for the death penalty, he is for abortion, he is against the line item veto, he is for privatization of social security, he is for tax reductions... You need to get your facts straight or look up the definition of fascism. :loser:

...and this is when things go downhill fast and hilarity ensues...

:yaewn: I am watching ya'll...:lol:

:yaewn: I am watching ya'll...:lol: :skep: :skep: :nee :seeya:

:yaewn: I am watching ya'll...:lol: Me too. Infractions will follow. Trust that.

Fascism is "...a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition." I wouldn't say any of the candidates fall under that definition. At least, not as long as what they're telling us they believe is really what they believe.

Ooohhh...we're being watched. How politically voyeuristic!

watching what?? :lol:

watching what?? :lol: PORN :leaving:

Rudy Giuliani Score: 42 Agree; Iraq Stem-Cell Research Health Care Abortion Social Security Line-Item Veto Energy Marriage Disagree; Immigration Taxes Death Penalty followed by chris dodd, joe biden and....holy chit...kucinich :yikes: :yikes:

I rather watch that than politics :lol: I'd rather watch a blank TV than politics.

OK back to talking about Brittany Spears....:slol:

You need to get your facts straight or look up the definition of fascism. :loser: He's not for the Constitution... 2nd Amendment especially. He loves illegal immigrants, making NYC a "safe-haven" for them. He is a damn criminal. And Pro-Abortion? Since when is this a good thing? Here's an idea, let's teach responsibility instead of teaching people that they don't need to be responsible.

I'd rather watch a blank TV than politics. Then perhaps you should move to a different country, Sweden is good.

Me too. Infractions will follow. Trust that. With this threat, I will need the section of the rules that state whatever part you think the people in this thread are going to abuse. Thank you.

He's not for the Constitution... 2nd Amendment especially. He loves illegal immigrants, making NYC a "safe-haven" for them. He is a damn criminal. And Pro-Abortion? Since when is this a good thing? Here's an idea, let's teach responsibility instead of teaching people that they don't need to be responsible. Why not like illegal immigrants, they work harder than you or I do. And yes pro abortion. Let the woman decide what is best for her body not the government. Yes you still need to teach resposibility, but that wont fix everything. How about women who are inpregnated by rape? What about a crack head? you want a crack head giving birth? What about the welfare mom who already has 8 kids?

Annnndd Heeeerrrre we go.:pity:

What about the welfare mom who already has 8 kids? Work ethic has nothing to do with legality. They are here illegally, they are committing a crime every second that they are on US soil. You like to help criminals? Impregnated by rape? Perhaps this could be a special case in which abortion would be ok. Do I want a crack head giving birth? Well most likely, if they are a crack head, their baby will be deformed and probably die anyway. Welfare mothers? Well, funny thing about that, welfare needs to be reformed as well. These people need to be cut off after a certain point in time. The welfare policy should be something like "you have x amount of time to either **** or get off the pot, after that, we aren't helping you." This isn't China, if you want government handouts, go to a Communist society.

No I actually think we should close up the borders and not let anyone else in, but the ones that are already here, make them legal. You bring up a good point about welfare. I am against it entirely. It should be done away with all together and unemployment too for that matter.

No I actually think we should close up the borders and not let anyone else in, but the ones that are already here, make them legal. You bring up a good point about welfare. I am against it entirely. It should be done away with all together and unemployment too for that matter. Right. The Government isn't meant to be the guardians of it's citizens (Mommies and Daddies to the people, in layman's terms). We should also get rid of the IRS and go back to a Gold Standard on our money and abolish the Federal Reserve. Nothing better than printing money that we don't really have.

China really DOESNT hand out to it's population. Neither does the Russia or other communist ex affiliates....

China really DOESNT hand out to it's population. Neither does the Russia or other communist ex affiliates.... You dont want to be poor and live in China :lol: Nor do you want to be born retard, disfigured, etc. in China. You wouldnt believe the horror those types of people live in in other parts of the world.

Work ethic has nothing to do with legality. They are here illegally, they are committing a crime every second that they are on US soil. Actually, no. This is a common misinterpretation of the law. Thus the reason a bill was written up to also make it illegal to be here after having crossed illegally. In truth, it is the crossing of the border illegally which is the crime. Just like how in Virginia if you enter an establishment that you know to not allow handguns, and you have a handgun, you have committed the crime of trespassing once upon entering, not once per second that you remain in there.

We should...go back to a Gold Standard on our money and abolish the Federal Reserve. Nothing better than printing money that we don't really have. That would be incredibly stupid. Hopefully that was sarcasm. :lol:

That would be incredibly stupid. Hopefully that was sarcasm. :lol: Really? So it's smart to base the value of the dollar on the word of one man instead of basing it on a solid standard. Good point...:yaewn:

Really? So it's smart to base the value of the dollar on the word of one man instead of basing it on a solid standard. It isn't based upon the word of one man. It's based upon the work of billions. That's part of the free market. The gold standard is definitely not solid and is antiquated and inferior for several reasons. Not the least of which is the fact that as inflation continues, you reach a point where your currency represents microscopic amounts of gold, eventually to where your dollar represents an atom of gold, or even a fraction of an atom. Also, the gold standard doesn't protect against any of the issues seen with currency not backed by gold. Inflation and deflation still happen, currencies in different countries still change in relation to each other, and gold itself doesn't hold a stable value. Additionally, there simply isn't enough gold in the world to support such a system for the massive amount of trade and production which now takes place; and an effective gold standard would require that most nations (and all rich nations) adhere and agree to it.

We're going on 8 years of this current douche bag...how much worse can it get? dont you watch scary movies? what allways happens when they say that?

Well as soon as the war ends there is going to be ten of thousands of people that are going to be out of work because of the many industries support every aspect of it. Im afraid that when pull out and the military goes back into standby there is going to be a large drop in the economy. The war is almost acting like an economic band-aid right now. There are 100's of medium size companies that started up that are relying completely on it. Sad days to come I assure you.

With this threat, I will need the section of the rules that state whatever part you think the people in this thread are going to abuse. Thank you. No deal, Jack. I don't answer to you.

No deal, Jack. I don't answer to you. How appropriate that you make that statement in this thread. Actually, you do answer to me and all the other members that you are serving. You are part of TWF's government. kthnx.

Damn! I hope he isn't:gary: Alll the other gov't folks are these days!:nonod:

...you do answer to me and all the other members that you are serving. You are part of TWF's government.kthnx. Who do I speak with about getting my free TWF goverment cheese?

There some funny poop in this thread :lol:

How appropriate that you make that statement in this thread. Actually, you do answer to me and all the other members that you are serving. You are part of TWF's government. kthnx. Wrong. I wasn't elected by you. I can make you go away.

Wrong. I wasn't elected by you. I can make you go away. How noble of you to threaten me.
