You should only vote if you can distinguish Obama from Romney

[candycorn]

And Obama would say to you, "Exactly, don't worry your little head about things like the economy. All you need to think about is women's issues like abortion."

Your post highlights the reason women who think for themselves disdain the GOP. It's the idea that "government knows best" is a bad idea UNTIL you talk about a woman's body or marriage rights. Then you're all for an intrusive, totalitarian regime.

I understand what you are saying, and some women who are one issue voters might agree with you, but women who see themselves as more than baby factories will be more concerned with the immediate effects of Obama's failure to deal effectively with the economy than with hypotheticals about future Court actions and that neither Romney nor Obama will likely be able to make a difference on this issue.

In fact, some women who are single issue voters like yourself but who believe in the democratic process will want to see this issue decided this issue decided on its own merits by the legislatures they elected rather than being dictated to us by nine political appointees.

Actually, you have no idea what is being said to you.

The ability to do with one's body what one wants is primal. I used to go to burning man every year before the brown shirts took over. It came and went this year and I didn't miss it. You'd likely find no more liberal place on earth than Black Rock during burning man.

If you were to offer these people, say, $10,000 a piece to wear a uniform during burning man--something as unintrusive as a baseball cap, you'd have some takers but by and large you'd get the cold shoulder. Freedom and the idea of freedom are non-negotiable, you see.

Romney wants to overturn Roe. If the law had nothing to do with abortion but, lets say, forced women to donate breast milk to food banks, it would be seen as being just as intrusive, egregious, and bewildering in those who support it from the viewport of those who oppose it,
Reproduction isn't the issue, at it's base, freedom is; that and the GOP hypocrisy of wanting a "smaller" government thats less intrusive when you talk about one thing but much more intrusive in another light.

1: Don't tell people if they are allowed to vote.

2: There is little to no difference through policy from Obama to Mitt...

3: the only real difference between the 2 candidates is one takes both sides of near all issues over a given amount of years.

4: If you listen to Romney at some point yes, he will always disagree with Obama...

5: If you listen to Romney at some point yes, he will always agree with Obama...

romney lies and says he was just kidding and now agrees with the president.

but he brings with him all of the radical religious right and neo-con crazies.

i suppose you think the justices they'd appoint are the same, too.

i think you're wacked.

Are you signed up for Selective Service? if not, why not? My freedom got compromised when I fought against signing up, but it did no good. I had to sign up and ultimately go serve in 2 wars.

Your rant about freedom is comical at best. Your freedoms are determined by the need of the nation and putting an abortion clinic on every corner like a McDonald's is NOT of the most important need right now.

You'd do better grabbing an AK-47 and a rucksack and join the war that your Dear Leader Barack Obama is orchestrating right now.

Not even HE gives a damn about your "freedoms" as a woman. get a clue. if he did, he would've passed an Executive Order on the behalf of Abortion like he did on the behalf of Gay Marriage.

That alone^ let's you know where HIS priorities have the most value.

I always get a laugh outta this... Radical Religious Right...who are these people?

I'm not a Rightie but I can at least vouch for them and say, I see WAY mORE
Democratic hat wearing Liberals packing the church houses on Sunday than I do Conservatives.

And what's worse, damn near every single car in the church lot has an "Obama/Biden" or YES WE CAN" or "FORWARD" bumper sticker on it.

So I wouldn't be so quick to call out the Radical Religious Right, when the
Bible-Thumping Plate Passing Demo-Libs far outnumber the Radical Religious Right. by 10:1 AT LEAST.

Romney even can't tell the difference between his "opinions" and "positions". How are the rest of us supposed to?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

I can. The incumbent is the socialist.

Wrong again.

Its MitWit who is in favor of socialist (welfare) medicine - go wait in line at the Emergency Room - aka Get Sick, Die Quick.

The incumbent is in favor of each of us paying for our own health insurance.

Ya wanna try again?

They preach individual freedom while trying to end it. They take no responsibility for their own actions but say others should.

They preach smaller govt while pushing for bigger govt.

Your streak of being wrong continues.

The next four years will see 3 justices on the High Court reach their 80th birthday. Whomever is President will appoint, likely, 1-3 justices. Roe can be overturned by the Supreme Court.

Again, it's not about abortions, it's about the rights we all have, the rights we do not want government infringing upon, and the rights that come along with privacy. One of the justices will be Scalia. Having him replaced by a center-left Jurist would be reason enough to vote for Obama.

As for the economy; I'll issue you the same challenge I've issued to other republicans.

Look at Mitt Romney's spending cuts at his website:

Spending | Mitt Romney for President

His stated spending cuts--if he gets them--equals $319.6 Billion if memory serves. His numbers, his website; not from the Obama admin, not "edited" by anyone else. There are some "across the board" cuts too that he doesn't detail (translation; he doesn't know what those cuts would save).

Now, using the governor's numbers, please tell us how he is going to do the following things he's said he's going to do:

Balance the budget
Start paying down the deficit
Increase defense spending

He is on record as saying he won't raise taxes so it's all spending cuts.

Your move.

Politically you're dead on accurate.

 

[emilynghiem]

Dear VTD: The difference is commitment to enforcing the rule of law by the Constitution.
Obama made it clear he would push for change without the consent of dissenting parties on issues such as the health care bill that were stretching the interpretation of the Constitution.
This is why people do not respect his authority, because he relies on political power from party support, instead of invoking authority based on the Constitution.

That is not what you hire a President to enforce, no one in public office especially not federal govt should put loyalty to party politics above defending the law under the Constitution. See Code of Ethics for Govt Service Public Law 96-303.

Also, if you argue that Bush superceded the Constitution under the Patriot Act, well Obama kept those same provisions and extended them to be even more invasive by govt.

I give Romney credit for mentioning "rule of law" in the last debate. You won't catch Obama enforcing that because he doesn't follow it himself. His kind of leadership works best in the community to organize and mobilize solutions on a grassroots local level. But the leadership needed for PUBLIC office and PUBLIC statements must be rooted on our central laws for the entire nation, not by party.

A lot of people say there isn't much difference between Democrats and Republicans.
But I can pick out most of their quotes when trying to figure out whether Obama or Romney said them: Who Said it: Obama or Romney? on Facebook | Facebook
The truth is they are different; just listen to what they're saying.

The spirit of what they are saying is different. Obama would have made a better Vice President and used his position to publicize community outreach and direct action on solutions that can benefit from his leadership style working with his constituents whom he does represent. For President, that position is more public and the focus has to be on enforcing the Constitution for all people, and not getting as sidetracked by partisan agenda as Obama was doing as the first Black President to represent members of a minority population he himself admitted were lacking in education. So that takes more work on the ground level to represent that membership and cannot be legislated from the top down. So his best skills and talents, and what he represents and has the potential to lead, are not served through the office of President. He would get more done for his constituents through setting up school programs that really reach that population, as Jimmy Carter had more positive impact through Habitate for Humanity after he left office than he did as president.

The particular "style" of leadership of Obama and Carter works better applied directly to building and LEADING solutions on the grassroots democratic level. If Habitat for Humanity had been legislated from govt, it would never have gotten the support it has to work so effectively not only in providing housing but INVOLVING communities to do it themselves.
So Obama would have better success with health care and educational reforms by working on the state and local levels, not trying to mandate changes from the federal executive.

Then ask Republicans to CORRECT THIS! If they aren't already jumping on and denouncing their own candidates for the same.

Since most Republicans I know are either Christian or Constitutionalist or both, they respond to rebuke in that spirit. Either rebuke them as a Christian under Christian law (Matthew18:15-20) or under Constitutional laws (by petitioning to redress grievances, due process, or the Code of Ethics for Govt service ethics-commission.net)

The Republicans I know accept correction when it is under Constitutional law, Christian law or both. They tend to have respect for due process, even more than the Democrats I encounter that don't feel they have enough support to admit poor judgment and correct it.

Your move.

I see how deeply confused you are. First of all, Roe v. Wade is about abortions and nothing but abortions. The fact that you keep trying to pretend it's about anything other than killing unborn babies shows that beneath all that bluster, you are embarrassed and ashamed of the position you are supporting.

These days it takes a super majority in the Senate to appoint a Justice who is too far to the left or the right, and neither Obama nor Romney will have that so moderates will be appointed to the Court regardless of who is president. Keep in mind that Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy, both staunch supporters of Roe v. Wade, were appointed by Ronald Reagan, a Tea Party icon, David Souter, another pro abortion Justice, was appointed by Bush41 and John Roberts, a Bush43 appointee, saved Obamacare.
The days of a far left or far right Court are long gone.

You have been so taken in by the defeatist attitudes of the can't do Obama administration that you have forgotten that the way to solve our economic problems is to encourage private sector investments which will create more jobs and more tax revenues, and this is exactly what Romney proposes to do. The tax cuts and limits of deductions he proposes will put more money into the hands of consumers and investors and the limits on deductions will encourage people to spend and invest their money where they get the best value instead of where they get the biggest tax break, thus stimulating the private sector economy by giving consumers and investors more money to spend and invest and encouraging them to do it more efficiently and productively. His proposal to open government lands to more oil and gas exploration and to allow the pipeline from Canada will create many thousands of new jobs, and not just the temporary and part time jobs we've seen created during Obama's time in the WH, and it will bring down the cost of energy making US businesses more competitive and creating still more jobs. In addition he proposes to reform some of the anti business excesses of Obama's first two years, such as Dodd Frank, in order to create and more business friendly economy.

So Romney's plan to increase employment and lower the deficit has two parts, cut non security discretionary spending and encourage new private sector investment to grow the economy and he has outlined how he plans to do it. Obama's plan for the economy: blame the Republicans.

Increase defense spending

He is on record as saying he won't raise taxes so it's all spending cuts.

Your move.

I see how deeply confused you are. First of all, Roe v. Wade is about abortions and nothing but abortions. The fact that you keep trying to pretend it's about anything other than killing unborn babies shows that beneath all that bluster, you are embarrassed and ashamed of the position you are supporting.

Read the decision. The decision of the court is based on privacy.

These days it takes a super majority in the Senate to appoint a Justice who is too far to the left or the right, and neither Obama nor Romney will have that so moderates will be appointed to the Court regardless of who is president. Keep in mind that Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy, both staunch supporters of Roe v. Wade, were appointed by Ronald Reagan, a Tea Party icon, David Souter, another pro abortion Justice, was appointed by Bush41 and John Roberts, a Bush43 appointee, saved Obamacare.
The days of a far left or far right Court are long gone.

Bull, meet shit. You're full of it.

No Nominee has been filibustered for one thing.

For another thing, Scalia is a far right jurist who should be replaced with a non-ideologue.

Advantage Obama once he's re-elected. Sucks to be you.

You have been so taken in by the defeatist attitudes of the can't do Obama administration that you have forgotten that the way to solve our economic problems is to encourage private sector investments which will create more jobs and more tax revenues, and this is exactly what Romney proposes to do. The tax cuts and limits of deductions he proposes will put more money into the hands of consumers and investors and the limits on deductions will encourage people to spend and invest their money where they get the best value instead of where they get the biggest tax break, thus stimulating the private sector economy by giving consumers and investors more money to spend and invest and encouraging them to do it more efficiently and productively. His proposal to open government lands to more oil and gas exploration and to allow the pipeline from Canada will create many thousands of new jobs, and not just the temporary and part time jobs we've seen created during Obama's time in the WH, and it will bring down the cost of energy making US businesses more competitive and creating still more jobs. In addition he proposes to reform some of the anti business excesses of Obama's first two years, such as Dodd Frank, in order to create and more business friendly economy.

So Romney's plan to increase employment and lower the deficit has two parts, cut non security discretionary spending and encourage new private sector investment to grow the economy and he has outlined how he plans to do it. Obama's plan for the economy: blame the Republicans.

In other words, you can't make the math work either.

Don't feel bad....100% of all republicans I posed the question too ran from it as well. You're no exception.

A lot of people say there isn't much difference between Democrats and Republicans.
But I can pick out most of their quotes when trying to figure out whether Obama or Romney said them: Who Said it: Obama or Romney? on Facebook | Facebook
The truth is they are different; just listen to what they're saying.

It's heads they (corporations) win and tails we lose.

"The November election is not a battle between Republicans and Democrats. It is not a battle between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. It is a battle between the corporate state and us..."

"All the major correctives to American democracy have come through movements and third parties that have operated outside the mainstream. Few achieved formal positions of power. These movements built enough momentum and popular support, always in the face of fierce opposition, to force the power elite to respond to their concerns.

"Such developments, along with the courage to defy the political charade in the voting booth, offer the only hope of saving us from Wall Street predators, the assault on the ecosystem by the fossil fuel industry, the rise of the security and surveillance state and the dramatic erosion of our civil liberties.

“'The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any,' Alice Walker writes..."

Exactly. It's a rigged game. As long as government has the power to tell us how to spend our money, the corporations will be vying for control of that power.
