kantstanja, I hate to disagree with you, but Obama has deliberately moved our nation towards socialism, as recognized in the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in The Communist Manifesto. His actions over the last three years have also dangerously resembled those of the socialist Nazi Party in Germany, and the communist Stalin in Russia. The only thing he has yet to do is declare martial law and try to forcibly take over the country, which looks set to happen soon with the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act that would allow him to gather up the malcontents as the Nazis once did.

So it’s not a matter of someone conforming to anyone’s ideals. It’s about the fact that Obama is a socialist, and he is trying to turn our country into a totalitarian state. HE’S splitting up America, not those who are criticizing him. Therefore, it’s just a plain fact that if you vote for a socialist, particularly if you know his political platform and agree with that platform, then you are a socialist. And no true Republican would ever deliberately vote for a socialist.

Because their agenda is… “ANYBODY BUT OBAMA” …. This has been their battle cry for over three years and as the stampede continues, they totally ignore the one man who can not only accomplish THEIR goal but the goal of the American public. Foresight demands intelligence.. Hindsight isn’t as selective.

Larry, just write in their name! Mission acomplished! Just like the last “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED”

Obama made it. What bloodline is he from? Perhaps Jefferson visited Kenya back in the 1800s?

Annie, Americans have memories and what happened from 2001-2008 was very unpleasant for a lot of people! Lost their jobs, lost their homes and lost their retirements! All while a Republican was in the White House. Why go back to a Republican Party Platform if that is the best it can do for our country?

THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO HAVE INDEPENDENT AND LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATES INCLUDED IN EVERY ELECTION!!!!!

I also think that most americans know who had “control” of congress the last 2 years of the Bush administration and the first 2 years of Obama’s. Most also know that Bush tried early in his presidency to have Fannie and Freddie investigated. The democrats said they were healthy and side stepped the issue. The rest has been history. The rest was a domino effect.

dfinch, you are wasting your time with the lid lovers that write into this site. They cannot see the light, they are just plane gone. They got there hands out for there freebe’s. It is sad…

NC, you silly Obummacrats seem to forget that George Bush had to put up with Dumocrats in Congress. Remember the Dodd/Frank bill that ended up making the housing bubble go “POP”? That’s what you get when Liberals are in charge. Look what we got from the King Obama, Prince Harry, Princess Nancy (leadership?). A lot of mandates that take Many of our freedoms away. Just look at what Obumski is doing now. Trying to force anti-religious mandates on churches and people of faith who do not want his freedom stealing policies.

NC, our woes began with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, enacted under the Democrat President Jimmy Carter. They were later exacerbated in the mid 1990s under the Democrat President Bill Clinton through loosened restrictions by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to encourage GSEs like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make it possible for first time home buyers to get loans they could not have previously gotten. Affordable Housing Credits were issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac beginning in 1995, still under President Bill Clinton. By 1996, the Department of Housing and Urban Development was pressuring Freddie and fannie to provide upwards of 42% of their mortgage fianancing to borrowers who wouldn’t otherwise qualify due to inadequate income, and this was increased to 50% in 2000 during Clinton’s last year in office. This large increase in MBS (Mortgage Backed Securities) through the GSEs led to the peddling and increased investment into subprime mortgage CDOs (Collateralized Debt Obligations) from 2000-2006, which ended with the subprime mortgage crisis, or housing bubble.

Our problems may have come to fruition while a Republican was in office, but you kid yourself if you think that anyone but a Democrat was responsible. The Democrats dug the pit. The Republicans just fell into it.

Angie, Exactly what universe to you live in anyway. Do you actually want all of us to believe that you are anything but a liberal/marxist troll for obama?

obama has done nothing whatsoever good for America and he has engaged in the complete destruction of our beloved country.

What is your agenda Angie? Are you too a liberal/marxist who is dedicated to destroying America – and don’t give us your blubbering hogwash about the poor and middle class. Since obama has taken over the people’s house (the White House) the poverty rate has grown by leaps and bounds and the middle class has diminished exponentially.

Are you aware of the fact that you sound just like the followers of alinsky, stalin, hitler, lenin, mae tsetung, and all of those dictators who only wanted to rule the world?

Annie, have you ever looked at the figures of what was happening for the poor an middle class during the 1990s before george w. bush and his “I can do it better” attempt with trickle down fiscal policy and the recession that followed instead of the “surplus” he promised! It won’t kill you to take a look!

But you neglect to say Obama also made promises that’s he’s not kept about the deficit. He was going to balance the budget (?????) and retire the deficit. Last account he’s added $5 trillion more to it.

the democrates were the ones with running the housing failure.charlie rangel was on tv announcing in 2006 proclaiming fannie may freddy mac was doing fine and no worry. why bush gets blamed for that its beyond me.obama has spent more money and nothing has gotten done. by the way if he gets 4 more years there will be more people out of work. the company i work for is going to shut down. the owner says he wont be able to continue because he wont be able to afford obama care. i was in iraq and its much better off now then it used to be. god bless america.

George W was a terrible president. Any man who would call the constitution a “g-ddamned piece of paper” has lost my respect from now until the end of time. But I do wish folks like you would stop placing the blame for every global tragedy at his feet. There was a recession, but there was also a national crisis; viz. the World Trade Center. And Katrina was close on the heels of that. When one considers the crises our country faced during George W’s administration, he did surprisingly well. I shudder to think what would have happened if we had had a weaker president in the midst of all that.

That said, Obama has made more than his share of mistakes. The budget increase, and resulting deficit increase, is not George W’s fault. George W left office with only $4 trillion in national debt at the conclusion of two major disasters and eight years of war. Obama took it from $4 trillion to $16 trillion in barely three, with none of the viable excuses George W had. It’s not George W’s fault.

George W disregarded the Constitution. I hate him for that. But Obama, from the moment of his election, including the latest outrage with the contraception in the Catholic hospitals, has passed or proposed legislation in violation of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 13th, and 14th amendments, in addition to violating his oath of office in Article II, §1, ¶8-9; deliberately turning our country into a totalitarian state in violation of Article IV, §4 that guarantees us a Republican form of government; bypassing Congress in his appointments as per Article II, §2, ¶2; writing and submitting bills that call for the raising of revenue, which, according to Article I, §7, ¶1 is exclusively reserved to the House of Representatives; and he has completely bypassed the legislative process laid out in Article I, §7, ruling this country by executive order, an authority not actually given the President of the United States as part of the Executive Branch in Article II.

So let’s be real for a second. Our current president thinks he’s a king, and the Democrat Congress are a bunch of economic illiterates who have no clue of the financial wreckage they are making of our country with their out of control spending. Let’s give credit where it’s due. It’s the Democrats who are causing our present woes, not the Republicans.

This just show you that the second law of thermal dynamics is alive and WELL.Read your BIBLE. It is in their

@ Angie09-You are a Kool aid drinker & a lover of Celebrity and you dont seethe krap right in front of your nose! The only EFFORT the president is making is to make the Congress look like ‘do nothings’ so he can bypass our Constition & become a Dictator! I dont WANT Congress to work with this Marxist Traitor.

GOP Gong show. ROFL

But it’s a better show than the Dem’s CLUNK Show.

Skip, the most predominant issue on the House and Senate floor right now, and over the past year or three, has been the budget, the deficit, and jobs.

The Democrats have offered a single solution to the problem. Raise taxes. They may throw out this concession or that concession, but it’s always coupled with raising taxes. The fact is, they don’t want to cut anything. They think the solution is to maintain big government and bring the revenue up to match the budget rather than bringing the budget down to match the revenue.

The Republicans have also offered a single solution to the problem. Cut spending. They too may throw out this concession or that concession, but it is likewise always coupled with cutting spending. The Republicans don’t want to raise taxes, period. They think the solution is to cut social and wealth redistribution programs to bring the budget down to match the revenue rather than bringing the revenue up to match the budget.

When you have two opposing sides who both believe that the only solution to the problem is the very thing the other party deems anathema, it’s not possible to come to a compromise. It’s almost like someone having need of something, but every single proposition to provide help to that person comes with the contingency that they have to let the government give them AIDS. We’ll give you food, but you have to let us give you AIDS. We can provide public housing, but you have to let us give you AIDS. We’ll cut spending, but only if you let us give you AIDS.

So don’t blame the Republicans. Both sides are doing the same thing. But of the two parties, the Republican solution is more to the benefit of the American citizen. I can honestly say from having been on both sides of the fence financially, the only people who don’t care if taxes are raised are the people who don’t pay them. And I don’t think they deserve a say in the matter unless it’s going to effect their own wallet along with the rest of us.

15% of the vote aint helping ron paul any

skip you do not seem to exceptionally discerning when it comes to understanding the difference between an old bumbler like Sen. Mitch McConnell, and a young more intelligent and perceptive Sen. Rand Paul. How do you compare both of them as being equals in the same sentence. Also why do you even state that the people of Indiana are more adept politically than anyone across the river in Kentucky ? It seems childish that you think that you are their moral superior as you must have a tinge of jealousy somehow directed against them. Bottom line is that we need to get a Constitutionalist elected as soon as possible and restore sanity to this Nation.

I sure have…Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

obamas the socialist. where have u been the last 3 years

Mitt Romney is a left thinking Progressive Moderate. He has said this himself, and his politics prove it. I just wish that the Left hadn’t brow beaten Herman Cain, and Michelle Bachman out of the race.

I don’t think Romney believes in redistribution of wealth.

But Romney would enforce ObamaCare the day after he was elected to President. Count on it! And, what is ObamaCare? Control of the People.

“So you’d settle for the SOCIALIST Romney, right?!? real smart”

I certainly would, and it WOULD be “real smart”.

I’m not too cool with the fact that Obamacare is based on a Romney plan, and on a lot of other things about Romney, but I’m damned sure not going to vote for Obama, OR for any third party candidate if my favorite Republican doesn’t win the nomination.

“Principles” and making points can be expensive, and this is NOT the time to be wasting votes against Obama.

You don’t even have to vote for Obama. Anyone who refuses to vote, or votes for a third-party candidate has voted for Obama.

No third party candidate has any chance to win, and any votes they suck away from the main candidates will be sucked away from the republican candidate, so they might has well have voted for Obama.

The number ONE issue is “Get That Traitor Out Of Control”.
The number TWO issue is “Get That Traitor Out Of Control”.
The number THREE issue is “Get That Traitor Out Of Control”.

Everything else is WAY down the list.

If Bill Clinton won the Republican nomination, I’d certainly vote for him, and THIS time around, be happy that he was elected.

It doesn’t matter WHO actually becomes the Republican candidate, THAT is the person who needs the vote, for the most important 3 reasons.

I firmly believe that Obama is actively trying to destroy the economy of America, because that will open the door for an actual Communist regime.

If any Republican candidate takes us to that point, at least it won’t be due to an active agenda, which is rolling right on down the pike even as I write this.

So Hell Yes I’ll vote for Romney, Gingrich, Paul, any potential candidate who is running against Obama, whether I like him or not, or approve of ANYTHING he does. Obama represents Rock Bottom. There is only “Better” available.

The only thing worse than what we have is another four years of it. He can get his agenda accomplished by then, instead of halfway there as it is now.

Ron Paul or Obama…period. Ron Paul supports will NOT vote for Romney, Santorum or Gingrich – truth.

Yep, that is what I was thinking. RP supporters, the anarchist type, would much rather vote for Obama than a conservative. Simply because they are more akin to fascist-types. So, that’s probably where these numbers come from that WND is supposedly reporting. Don’t forget who is conducting the poll. Polls are done to SHAPE opinion, not reflect it. So, this poll was done to dispirit liberty-loving Americans into not voting in November because, if this poll is correct, they would say, what is the point?

Dear Dagney,

You write: “RP supporters, the anarchist type… because they are more akin to fascist-types.” Your comment is illogical. Please explain for me how anarchists and fascists can be the same thing. This should be interesting.

And by the way, Ron Paul supporters (most of them) are not anarchists. They are Constitutionalists. Have you read the Constitution lately?

Best wishes,
Bob

Bob: Meaning no disrespect to actual Constitution-loving Ron Paul supporters (though they do seem to forget to think about or mention RP’s newsletters), I contend that political ideology is a circle or maybe a “U” shape, with the Constitution down at the bottom IN THE CENTER, the fascists at the top on the left (of course) at one extreme and the anarchists at the top on the right at the other extreme. It is not a straight line where the far right anarchists are completely different like night and day from the fascists as many would contend. There are many similarities between fascists and anarchists like arrogance, thuggishness, lawlessness/excessive laws (depending on how the laws or lack thereof benefit them personally). Down at the bottom of the “U” or circle farthest away from these thugs are the liberty-loving constitutionalists who know what a happy medium, moderation in all things type of existence means and how it benefits all. They are the ones that realize that laws are needed and they need to be enforced by a good and moral people. However, at the top of the “U” or “O”, good and moral people are not to be found. That is the similarities I see between anarchists and fascists. When you get right down to it, what I mean is that there is only good (no, not perfect, MORE perfect) and evil, it just depends on the DEGREE of good and evil.

Dear Dagney,

While you may be bending the law of physics, I do see what you are saying. However, I believe this better reflects the political spectrum.

Best wishes,

LOL, now we are arguing geometry! To simplfy, I used an “O” or “U”. It’s really a sphere with all of our choices being every point of the globe. But, it still comes down to good and evil, and having NO government is evil, too.

And RP supporters will HELP obumbler win!

Good possibility that Ron Paul could help Obama win. Why? Because the average American voter is TOO STUPID to realize that Ron Paul is one of very few honest politicians who make decisions based on logical reasoning and deduction instead of “feelings” or political opportunity. Especially disgusting are the Lawyer Politicians who speak out of both sides of their mouths, Harry Reid and John Boehner being two examples.

i feel sorry for ur children. they will be paying for obamas progressive slot machine for a budget.

traitor

Now it is very understandable to all why there are more Independent voters. This segment of the voting public grows ever larger daily as the American public realizes that both parties are composed of moderates hell bent on government control over the people in every way imaginable, Democrans want Socialism now and Republicrats in increments. People are waking up ever so slowly. Ron Paul and the Bill of Rights, just think, research, and restore.

Ron Paul is the only true conservative and the only one that will hold to his convictions and truly change the country and restore our rights. I can’t believe the republican party is so oblivious.

I agree 100%!

I like a lot of what Ron Paul says until he talks foreign policy. He almost hyper-ventilates when he gets on the subject. The US has always been the “go to” country when another gets in trouble but I also realize we can’t do that anymore financially. His idea is to turn our backs. What I invision with that is another China. When would we build a Great Wall around the US?

Dear Dfinch,

You clearly do not understand what Ron Paul says regarding national defense, but I believe you are close when you write, “but I also realize we can’t do that anymore financially.” What Ron Paul wants to do is eliminate foreign bases and military incursions. He wants to cut military spending, not defense spending. He has said that if Congress makes a case for war and declares war, he will go in and win it decisively and quickly and then bring the troops home, without nation building.

You write: “What I invision (sic) with that is another China. When would we build a Great Wall around the US?” In fact, Ron Paul is the only Republican not advocating building a wall around the U.S. because he recognizes that walls are used to keep people in as much as they are used to keep people out.

Go here to read Ron Paul on the issues: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/the-issues/ You owe it to yourself.

Best wishes,
Bob

Ron Paul was asked what he would do if we were attacked. His answer was to go to the congress, get approval for an action and then win the war. I’d say that’s pretty good an idea. As for the rest, thanks Bob for intervening. Most don’t understand Dr Paul’s foreign policy.

I’m with you on that! I can’t stand the dim light bulbs that are supposed to save a lot of electric but I would vote for just one of those bulbs before I would ever vote four more years of Obama Socialist/Marxism.

The problem is too many people already voted for a dim 25 watt lightbulb and look what we got. Somehow I cannot believe this poll, and with what Obama has done recently with the contraceptive thing, many more people will be voting against him, more than voting for another candidate. He has proven he is power hungry and wants to be King of the U.S.. I wonder what would happen if a true poll was taken of a bunch of Dimocrat voters, how many of them would vote against Obumski due to his powergrab policies.

If you think we are Marxist/Communist, perhaps you are right. For the last decades, we have the developed the worst infant mortality rates, poverty rates, education rates, and the like of any of the developed nations, and they are all more Marxist/Communist than us – they have universal health care, universal free education from preschool through university, excellent retirement benefits and all of those communist programs and plots. Your position that we should abandon all government support for health, education, and retirement and presumably for any sort of infrastructure will insure we will get back to the country we had in 1790 when the Constitution was written – we need to get that level of health care, infrastructure and the like. They certainly did not want us to have interstates, airplanes, penicillin, automobiles, and all of those communist types of things – these Democrats and Communists have ruined us. Back to the farms for all of us – China tried that in the 70s and now they are becoming the dominant economy in the world – but are they still on the farms, do they by chance have fast trains, are they manufacturing iPhones out on these farms??

but George W can’t be president again
