More bad news http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politic...-obama/1634791/ The Biden anti-bounce continues

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 11:31 AM) Romney +4. Dang. I knew that Biden performance would be bad for Obama.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 11:26 AM) New daily kos poll means it's panic time. Why. Is Romney pulling ahead? Too lazy to check dailykos

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 15, 2012 -> 07:55 PM) Ironically a good porton Romney's electoral votes will come from freeloaders who I subsidize. i believe that is called "paying your fair share".

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 15, 2012 -> 07:09 PM) I'm down. me too. not giving up my Obama phone without a battle.

disgraceful

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 01:56 PM) Lower the price of tickets and parking. I shouldn't have to pay $25 to park at a Sox/Royals game coming from the West Suburbs. If they were just smart and lowered the price for the less in demand games for that and parking (a lot of their fandom resides in suburbs and Indiana), then they'd get a lot more attendance and it wouldn't look so pathetic on television. ^^^

I just want to let you guys know that i have flip-flopped and will probably vote for Obama.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 02:15 PM) lolbertarians on democracy: ah yes Peter Thiel. I remember a couple years ago he was always talking about building his 'slave ship'. basically, it was a giant ship he was going to put in the ocean just far enough off the coast to not be in US waters, but close enough so it would be easy to ship stuff to and from it. this was his way to avoid all those freedom killing things like laws and stuff.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 02:58 PM) cartoons are awesome. do you watch Archer? you should watch Archer. I will look into that

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 03:36 PM) We all know that mr genius watches nothing but American Idol and NASCAR. Well I was a little bit suspicious of their findings because 1) I don't watch golf, ever 2) I watch Family Guy and Southpark 3) NBA > NCAA for me 4) I don't watch reality tv shows 5) I tried to like NASCAR, just to keep it real, but I thought it was kinda boring.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 01:34 PM) I think Romney's idea of capped deductions is very interesting and a quality idea to look into. But what's the time frame here? The GOP congress of 2010-2012? They haven't done anything. They've voted 212 times to repeal obamacare for no reason. I also like the capped deductions. if the Republicans have voted 212 times to repeal obamacare then they are idiots.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 03:25 PM) some might say...that ur arguments are cartoonish that's a personal attack.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 03:42 PM) And what other purpose was there for king troll to post that link in the Dem thread other than to troll? i thought you guys would like that link. jeez.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) Cannot have full employment or inflation would would go beyond what the alarmists call hyper inflation. Unemployment, sadly, is a necessary evil of capitalism. not enough bumps in the road and the car can't stop or even turn that well. it's like driving on slippery ice.

http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012...ch-suggests/?hp Oh this is too perfect.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 02:45 PM) It happens daily, just not to the benefit of 99% of Americans. haha good point. they are more than happy to make compromises that help their political donors/ lobbyists/bribe givers.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 02:34 PM) Millions of unemployed americans seems like a national emergency to me! simply millions of little bumps in the road.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 01:58 PM) I said nothing about this being either party's fault. I was basically implying it is both of their faults. Although you failed to infer that. there was nothing to infer!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 01:35 PM) In the last 4 years, there honestly are not many things the GOP has done that I agree with. But I'd certainly be willing to discuss the issues if there was ever any actual discussion taking place. Because I am not naming the wonderful things the Reps have done recently that makes me part of the problem? How does that logic follow? if the Democrats (or anyone) doesn't want partisanship, there has to be some level of compromise and an understanding of the other sides view. if you just think they are always wrong, on everything, well you have nowhere to start. your open is basically, "you guys are always wrong, do it our way". That will fail every time. i just don't see how someone can complain about partisanship while saying the other party has done nothing right for 4 years. that's as partisan as you can get.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 01:27 PM) That is certainly not what I said, but if you choose to interpret it that way, I'm not going to lose sleep over it. actually, it is. you can't even name 1 thing the GOP has done that you agree with. time to re-evaluate. perhaps you are part of the problem.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 01:01 PM) Well they clearly decided after they lost the last Presidential election that they would do everything in their power to stonewall Obama, and they certainly have carried that out effectively. so basically, you are complaining that politics are so partisan, but you insist the other side doesn't do anything right . they only hurt "your team". your intentions were less noble than I thought.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 12:39 PM) I give credit to the reps for having the spine to get things done. like what? what have they done that you agree with.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 12:33 PM) He has a point, though. I never said he didn't

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 12:25 PM) This thread is a perfect barometer of where politics are in this country today. No one wants to work through the differences. Everyone just wants to forward their own agenda and back their team. very noble of you. so why don't you lead by stating all the things you think Romney, Ryan and the GOP have done correctly.
