So, I became more conservative, logical and smart. therefore, I vote republican 95% of the time. I might vote for our democratic governor in Missouri; Jay Nixon; because he vetos half the bills that come to his desk which is what I think all governors should do.
Oh yes web me too, and I am also a true conservative, which is why Romney is a moron. He has 0 understanding of what is happening and why. Obama isn't any better but he's on track to exploit the cracks in the system ... Now we borrow from china at the -ve real interest rate hand em worthless paper that says we'll give you 100 bucks later, buy their junk and train out workforce to service and install it. China is violating patents and robbing resources from everywhere in the world supporting dictators and other oppressive regimes we are stretched too thin to really protect cos we are in wars against 2 countries already.
One fine day china will see all this tons of paper with 100 bucks written on it, realise they are getting a negative interest rate and want it back. We will then print one little sheep of paper with trillion USD on it and hand it over. Till then we dont care about debt, we dont care about deficit and we dont care about big govt, we will not need to fight against china. We will just wait for them to turn on themsleves.
That is conservative, twisted but if someone is paying me to take their $ and will take back something I print and give em @ some future date. That is really what would save us for the future. There is no sense fighting china, we let them sell junk to us, we borrow their $ and wait till they get tired of doing both.
We're not mortgaging our childrens future, we are educating our children, we are saving and building our infrastructre, we are keeping the old people alive, we are helping everyone live a decent life and train for the day when we will puncture china's balloon. Whe that happens we need to get a trained workforce into factories and offices ASAP and crank out what china used to. We can obliterate china with a few printed bills.
I am notoriously tight fisted. I am legendarily so to people that know me. I also hate illegal immigration and hate the fact that all the bloody illegals are from 1 country and have hijacked the issue of immigration. Immigration does not equal illegal immigration. Immigrants built america, not illegal immigrants. Kick them out, take their anchor babies with them and revoke their citizenship on the way out and plaster them with a bill for schools, hospitals and roads and whatever else.
If Ron paul was on the ticket, he'd have my vote just on the 14th amendment alone. He's a politician with 1 bloody good idea.
Obama has no good ideas but the flow of things he is doing are in the right direction. Running up deficits due to infrastructure, education, un employment assistance, job training and safety net spending are all good, taxing the rich also is good just cos its the right thing to do. Ofcourse it was started by bush when the interest rates were 4%+ ... and Obama just kept it going. he had no chouse to an extent, people get older, wars go one roads and bridges die and fall down etc etc.
Romney is wrong on all counts the way they are and though he wont really change course he says he will and that is bad enough, he would be right on many if the interest rates were 4-5%. He's still wrong on tax cuts for the rich though.
Conservative and for america my friend, and Obama is closer to that ideal than Romney even if by accident. Romney is promising to be wrong, and though he wont be allowed to be wrong I still dont see how it can be better than Obama.
Romney may have you all lathered up on abortion and birth control alone, and some people float their boat on guns alone ... these are single issue voters who really are the bread and butter of the right, cos they can get elected on the votes of the 1% alone.
Yes I believe its an easy Romney win, he's got all the states redistricted to have small victory margins and big losses, he's got himself OH and PA by restricting people via voter ID laws, I think its an easy win for him. Only thing we are going to see is more tax cuts for the rich and a small cut in the rate of deficits. Both of which are bad.
Cool.
