The ..2012.... Political thread

That Rick Santorum person called Obama a "snob" for touting higher education For advocating going to college Can you believe this? This goes way beyond having a cow over various so-called social ills, some of which actually are progress. This veers into dangerously destructive dumb bunny territory (which Ricky's no stranger to, actually) and makes you wonder, what planet is he from??? Santorum (what kind of name is that? What nationality besides American?) must have taken his cue from Nixon's long ago V.P. Spiro Agnew who called all intellectuals "effete snobs" Oh and remember conservatives going after PBS t.v., its content is provided by universities...the programs are too "smart" for them and over their heads or subversive or something. You should just watch "Wheel of Fortune" and "Andy Griffith" reruns. Oh and their going after girl scouts is a real head scratcher, The Girl Scout Organization is a hotbed of radicalism Isn't it obvious!

Cool little song sung to the tune of "HELP" HELP! HELP! I needed Romney. HELP! Now I don't want Romney. HELP! You know I need someone else! When I was looking for a winning candidate I never worried about getting stuck with a lightweight. But now I've got Paul, Gingrich, Romney and Santorum. Now I find I change my mind. When they say something dumb! Help me if you can. Mitch turned me down, and Chris Christie says he won't be comin' 'round. Help me find someone who's not a clown. Won't you please, please help me! Help me...oooo
Winning entry for dumbest line (but cool song lyric - perhaps...LOL) courtesty of Barrack Obama: 'Unemployment Stimulates the Economy' (Sung to 'The Pound is Sinking') with second place going to 'The Church is required to hand out contraceptives' (Sung to 'Norwegien Wood') 3rd place goes to 'Let's make gas 10 dollars a gallon so everyone will buy an electic car (sung to 'Everybody's got something to hide except me and my monkey') 4th place goes to 'The Taliban is our friend, not foe' (Sung to 'Mistress and Maid')
Rich, did Paul McCartney give all the pot he no longer smokes to you?
Do you deny that he said any of the things mentioned above?

In the context in which you've presented them? Yes!!!!

I'd caution anyone supporting any Republican candidate AGAINST trying to make Obama look ridiculous for things he's said (taken out of context)... Those glass houses shatter rather easily.

Amen to that! Don't EVEN!

All the hype on the tube does is convince me to stick to my guns I am voting for the current Democratic president . The Repblican candidates almost told the public to heck with us. They basically only care about an elitist few. love doris

Hi y'all! Can someone give me a good unbiased run down of the current state of America please? Like, economy wise, morale wise, how people feel about the president and the upcoming elections etc etc etc I've tried getting my head round it but....it's kinda confusing! I ask because I want to write a good detailed and informed feature article for a national UK newspaper.

When did the Republicans say that? I never heard anything that could be implied in such a manner...they care about putting people back to work, lowering gas prices and protecting this country...It's not the Republicans who are spitting on our soldiers who were injured in war and need assistance (in many cases, permenantly) when they return.

Good luck with that There's no doubt the country is having it's problems and both sides will admit that....How 'rosey' the long term outlook appears depends whether you're on the left or right. But we have a president right now who believes unemployment will help the economy...that's a pretty desparate statement if you ask me

I saw that this morning...it sucks. And on a quasi related note, my family and I have been thinking about a vacation in the early summer, but we haven't pulled the trigger yet...and with gas prices expected to rise well over $4 (to $5???), I'm not sure if we should hurry up and book plane tickets now before their fares really start to reflect the price of fuel (Actually, 'I'm not sure'...but I think we know the answer....LOL)

There certainly aren't many quality candidates in either party right now... I'm voting for Obama again, and probably would have to be honest, but it's discouraging to see the field and realize that these are the best and brightest the parties have to offer... ops:

The work of the left is at it again...while I fully agree Rush Limbaugh's comments regarding Sandra Fluke's testimony were offensive and way over the top, seeing Sandra go onto 'The View' today and using the situation as a 15 minute advertisement for Media Matters was equally as vile. Also - it's pretty typical of the left to find a negative comment by someone from the right and suddenly 'crown' this person (Rush L in this case) as our 'imperial leader'...every conservative I know of places Rush Limbaugh and Bill Maher in the same catagory and think they should both be flushed from our planet. If you ask most conservatives what Rush said on a given day, week or month, we won't know...and to be honest, I only know about this latest Rush L comment after participating in a duel 'left and right' blog and seeing the left pee their pants over this. And at work today, they put CNN on and they talked about it a bit on their...Although they're a left leaning media outlet, they must be positioned a bit more towards the center because even they seemed to understand that it was nothing more than an unimportant blow head once again inserting foot into mouth...LOL
