Politics Thread - 2012 Election

I am calling BS on Herman Cain.


Since we are all Americans. Pretty interesting an Aussie is telling Chris Christie what to do. Love to hear Christie's response



Now the fun part. You guys are so predictable. I ask you one simple and I mean simple question. Instead of answering it you do your predictable BS. Okay one more time. Name a program that a righty has out into play that benefits our country. Since 1930. Name one! Come on your all poly science majors shouldn't be soooooo hard

I just found the Michigan calculator here:

http://www.michigan.gov/uia/0,4680,7...2227--,00.html

A $14/hr full time worker would be eligible for ~$300/wk (before taxes) according to it. And the length of time one can draw is proportional to the length of their last stint of work.

$1200 a month isn't exactly living high on the hog. It will pay the groceries and rent, but that's about it. I think that you're correct that it might lead someone to wait for a decent job rather than take the first thing that comes along.

Maybe that's wrong, but that's how insurance works. If you wreck your car, you'll probably expect to get one like it from your insurance company and not some jalopy they've got sitting in the junkyard.

Never mind SB I guess you miss the point.

I asked this on face book a month ago and not one person could answer. Name one thing a Republican president has introduced since 1930 that has been for the good of the country. Socially security, civil rights, Medicare all put into play by Democrats. I could name a bunch more. I am just looking for 1 from the righties

Lies? Like Obama and his administration saying the attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans was about a Youtube video because he's trying to cover it up until after the election? Those kind of lies? I think most Americans know who the Liar in Chief is and he currently occupies the White House. Those that don't either are clueless to the world around them or they just don't care as long as it doesn't effect them. Unfortunatelly there's a lot of them type of people today and that's eventually going to be the demise of our great country.

Oh wait, if you're a conservative you're a racist, that's simpler.

I used to have a black lab. Does that count?

No politician creates non gov't jobs but they do control the environment which either promotes it or inhibits it through taxes and regulations imposed on business. It isn't rocket science even though for some people you'd think it was.

It's not the lies I have been told. It is all the BS that happens and they NEVER report for fear of making the great and wonderful "o" appear as bad as he truly is.

You just proved the point we've been saying all along even though you're probably not bright enough to understand how.

Too much anger I suspect...

I sure don't recall any Christians flying those planes on September 11 2001. Oh wait, that was Bush's fault too wasn't it ? LOL
