Who cares. The President is a hand puppet. It's only as good as the hand that wears it.

Cain just got my support now. It's a shame he stands little chance at the nomination.

I may have to start voting republican again the way things are going.

I'm not too impressed with Obama, but then again I wasn't really expecting anything from him to begin with.

But while we are on Washington and its problems................... Oh wait Politics.
Ha....
We're talking about entertainment right?

Who do i like? your kidding right? Every politician only cares about the special interest groups that fund there career, they dont care about the majority of citizens. They may seem like they care and may do some good things but cmon. Just like the big banks and corporations they only look out for themselves. Any publicly held company will sacrafice long term goals for short term gains and when they need to hit numbers they either screw the employee or the consumer. The banks do it by raising rates or fees and corporations do it by cutting overhead or charging more for a service. But the people that run those companys always have there million dollar salary. With all that being said i still would rather live in the USA then anywhere because we can work hard and make good money and live a good life and pursue our dreams. Just dont expect help from politicians or big business.

Most republicans are against abortion, obviously. He's just taking it to another extreme.

Even thought I'm for abortion, I can understand why people are against it.

Planned Parenthood during Margret Sanger's time had nothing to do with Abortion (was illegal at the time), nor is Planned Parenthood centered around abortion today.

The idiocy he is displaying is a situation of reading things out of context. For example, the reason he believes Planned Parenthood is "Planned Genocide" is because of this line:

“We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.” - Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

The line in context (On a statement about recruiting black doctors for black areas):

"The minister's work is also important, and also he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation, as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs." - Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

“We need a leader, not a reader.” - Herman Cain



This man can't stop being hilarious. I really want to believe he's the political version of Andy Kaufman. I mean come on, "How do you say 'delicious' in Cuban?" in a state with a huge Spanish speaking population is amazing trolling.

They're all against torture, as said in their debate in South Carolina.

However, only Jon Huntsman and Ron Paul are against waterboarding. For whatever reason, they use the "fact" that waterboarding isn't technically torture to make themselves sound good.

Torture is a taboo word, waterboarding is, in their eyes, useful interrogation tactics.

Currently I'm leaning towards Obama for a better tomorrow, I think he's gonna win.
How is tomorrow going to be better under him? Just curious.
His motto is change so that's gotta stand for something, every president deserves 8 years- friggin Bush got 8 and every President ever.

4 more years of obama and we won't have a country. He's about change all right, but not the change people had in mind.
And electing a scam artist (Newt) is the perfect remedy? Have you ever read about the phony awards and events he fabricates and offers people to attend in their own honor for ridiculous amounts of money? Newt is a joke, his spot in the limelight won't even last as long as Cain's. He's literally the most unethical "candidate" the GOP has put forth thus far. The only thing the man cares about is lining his own pocket with money, go on his campaign site and his listed "campaign events" include things like movie screenings and book signings of garbage he created.

He'll redefine "corrupt" as we know it.

America is so radically different than it was 4 years ago. Yup.

Put me in check mate? Lol, are you his little minion or something? I am anti-obama because I love my country and I believe in capitalism and he is against everything America is. We're all entitled to our opinions, you don't have to agree with me.



There's your problem, right there, bolded and underlined.

Many people who say things like you do, Dobrusi, are infatuated with the commonly-believed myth that in America, "if you work hard for it, you'll become rich".

It's a romantic affair; a fantasy. And you're in love with it; we get that.

Problem is, with the status quo over the past 15 years, "working hard" is just as likely to get you no where as sitting on your *** doing nothing.

So, "believe" in capitalism all you want. While you're at it, believe in the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy, too. Might as well.

Barack Obama is not a (lol) "Marxist". Unless you've actually read the Communist Manifesto, you don't really know what you're talking about.

For the record, I'm not advocating (at all!) for communism. However, I'm also advocating AGAINST ignorance. And at the moment, you're "Exhibit A" for ignorance.

Currently there are no viable Republican candidates for elections...

Romney won't be accepted by the right or the evangelicals because of his health care bill, which was the basis for Obamacare, and because he's a Mormon. The far right evangelicans simply won't accept one, wrong as that is.

Hermain Cain won't win because; he's been accused of sexual harassment by 5 different people, he got his 9-9-9 plan from Sim City, (which would tax the poorest americans worst), and has said he would flat out violate the constitution by requiring Muslims to give some cockamamie loyalty oath. (Actually that may appeal to some on the right). Also the Tea Party won't support him because as Bill Maher once said "It’s funny, ’cause the teabaggers – the one thing they hate: when you call them racist. The other thing they hate is black people."

Rick Perry won't be chosen for three reasons; 1)He oversaw the executions of 230+ people and says he's pro-life. 2)His hunting lodge 's name makes people uncomfortable, 3) Um... I had it.. It was um... err.. crap. Forgot. Oops.

Michele Bachman makes Sarah Palin look like Hillary Clinton. Now I just heard this from someone but they said her campaign causes autism. She rails against big government spending but clinic takes federal funds left and right and uses them in "pray away the gay" treatments. Also she opposed federal farm subsidies, except when she requested them.

Newt Gingrich is the John Edwards of the republican party. In that he's completely un-electable and cheated on his wife while she was dying of cancer. He's just been in too many unpopular positions, the majority of which haven't been with his wife. Also Obamacare was greatly modeled after the plan that was introduced by Republicans in the 90's under his leadership.

Ron Paul? Nice guy, but anti-war. Can't have THAT.

Rick Santorum. The frothy one himself. Google it

John Huntsman. or as everyone likes to call him; "Who?"
