Obama vs Romney

Seriously, is this the level of comment we have been reduced to on MyBB?

One of the veteran leaders of the Black Panther party thinks a second term for Obama is very bad news for the US, and you think it's "irrelevant nonsense"?

yeah, it is totally irrelevant, because the average black American doesn't associate themselves with the backwards black panthers anymore than the average white person associates himself with the KKK.

You see nowadays people do this thing called 'thinking', which means that don't even listen. to BS.

It could reflect a larger disconnect amongst black voters toward Obama compared to the last election.
Larry Pinkney reaches a much larger audience than 100 people, as he delivers speeches and writes columns.

it 'could means that you're guessing. The reality show that it doesn't, that means you might be lying...

unless you can show me a poll (of a good source) where the average black person sympathises with the black panthers.

LOL dude, of course I'm guessing....... :rolleyes:

What are you doing, speaking truth? Aren't we all speculating here????

It's no longer just about the Black Panthers! He appears on radio shows, writes columns, etc. as an outspoken voice. Get it?

no to be honest I don't. You're trying to prove that the BP are a relevant organization that's opinion will convince thousands of people to not vote for Obama, and quite frankly you're failing at proving it.

I'm only trying to "prove" that the man's opinion carries some weight, given the various platforms he has at his disposal to voice his opinions.
 
The most compelling case to vote for Romney:

Food Stamp Growth 75X Greater than Job Creation

With the latest jobs report, it is now the case that "Under Obama, Food Stamp Growth [Is] 75 Times Greater Than Job Creation," according to statistics compiled by the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee. "For Every Person Added to Jobs Rolls Since January 2009, 75 People Added To Food Stamp Rolls."

Here's a chart detailing the growth:

Under%20Obama,%20Food%20Stamp%20Growth%2075%20Times%20Greater%20Than%20Job%20Creation_0.preview.jpg



Since January 2009, as the chart shows, a net of 194,000 new jobs have been created. During that same time, 14.7 million have been added to the food stamp rolls.

"Simply put, the President’s policies have not produced jobs. During his time in office, 14.7 million people were added to the food stamp rolls. Over that same time, only 194,000 jobs were created—thus 76 people went on food stamps for every one that found a job," says Senator Jeff Sessions, ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee. "This is a product of low growth. Post-recession economic growth in 2010 was 2.4%, and dropped in 2011 to 1.8%. This year it has dropped again to 1.77%. Few, if any, net jobs will be created with growth of less than 2%."

Smaller government does not imply no social services or no relief programs :whistle:.

Anyway, this Krauthammer guy makes some interesting points.
Obama Loss Would Put U.S. Back On The Reagan Trajectory
An Obama second term means that the movement toward European-style social democracy continues, in part by legislation, in part by executive decree. The American experiment — the more individualistic, energetic, innovative, risk-taking model of democratic governance — continues to recede, yielding to the supervised life of the entitlement state.

If Obama loses, however, his presidency becomes a historical parenthesis, a passing interlude of overreaching hyperliberalism, rejected by a center-right country that is 80% nonliberal.

Romney is very obviously not a good prospect but still a better choice if you are not a person for big government and its pitfalls.

The race is close, though the safe money is probably on Obama.

Shame, US citizens just keep on voting for the same two old gangs even though both continue to fail at the most basic of tasks.

Bush failed America.
Voters are disappointed, let's vote Democrat.
Obama failed America, let's vote Republican.

And round and round they go. A neverending downward spiral with both teams backed by the same big money.

It's like continuing to vote for a one-legged man in a race.

Each election they get caught up in the same hype of a multi-million dollar reality show promising change and reform with neither side ever delivering on their promises.

It will happen again.

America will be in an even dire situation next time around (with the debt ceiling more than likely reaching heaven itself) but the Reps and Dems will put on the same multi-million sideshow and the people will once again get swept up in the lies and empty promises of America's greatest reality show.

However my guess is next time things will be different. America cannot sustain another 4 more years of the same ludicrous foreign and economic policies. It will fall before that.

At least Ice Cube get's it.

The system has failed, money owns politics in America. Campaigns are funded by big business, big business receives favours in return. The people really are cannonfodder, they don't count for ***t. Even at party events, they just outright ignore voting by it's members and do the complete opposite!

These aren't cute little buzz words thrown around relating to party politics or trendy talking points; hands are in the till, people are bought and paid for, big business' tentacles reach deep within, insider trading is common place, the system is broken.

Warning: Explicit lyrics.

It amuses me that some people think that Libertarians will be any better.

Why do you think they won't be?
They are offering a very different message to that of the Dems and Reps.


I find it astonishing that you don't defend the system; instead you accept that it is broken and instead support such corruption and ineptitude by so openly supporting the Dems.

More Republicans Believe In Demonic Possession Than In Climate Change

The "Halloween-centric" poll, conducted by Public Policy Polling showed that 68 percent of Republican voters think it's possible to be possessed by demons.

Meanwhile, as news website AlterNet notes, only 48 percent of Republicans polled in an earlier survey conducted by the Pew Research Center survey said they believe in climate change.

And if that's not scary enough...

According to the Halloween poll results, 49 percent of Democrats also said they believe that its possible to be possessed by demons. Overall, only 35 percent of the 1,200 registered voters polled -- including Independent voters and others -- said that demon possession is an impossibility.

I find it almost unbelievable that in the 21st century, in one of the most advanced first world countries, that 65 % believe in something that only exists in movies.
