Dec. 31, 2008?Crude oil prices plummet below $37 a barrel while the U.S. average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline falls to an amazing 5-year low of $1.61.Price per barrel under Bush achieved a historic all time high of $150+ per barrel.
While the president's buddies, the fat cats Oil Barons, were receiving government subsidies and making BILLIONS in profit per year. Again, breaking historic records in corporate profits while the price per gallon was hovering over $4.00 per gallon in the U.S..

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

The Republican party failed us. They caused this, and then they sent in McCain and Palin to fix it, and they failed. The Republican party failed by sending two idiots that no one would vote for, and McCain and Palin failed to win the election. They failed us all around.

So it's not Obama who won.. everyone simply hated Bush so much that ANY democrat would have won. Taking credit away from Obama is what that statement does.
For over 2 years I've been saying it and you can look it up: Obama could save a drowning nun and there are those who would complain that he's interfering with Gods will.
See, it's not that he can do no wrong in his supporters eyes. It's that he can do no right in the oppositions eyes. Everyone knows that by now.43-922-863 Shut up and play your guitar.

All politicians aren't the same, I give you ... Bill Clinton:



If you want to add Obama to that, make the deficit bigger, stocks flat and jobs slightly lower.

Again, Obama didnt win because he wasn't Bush. He won because he was far and away better than any alternative. So just bring a better alternative and there'll be another vote. And when Obama wins that one, there'll be some other reason why he won then too. Because he can do no right in the eyes of his opposition.43-922-863 Shut up and play your guitar.

Why do people have to keep repeating things to you? You're little slow on the uptake, aren't you?Don't bother with reason and facts when talking to a rightie. They're not accustomed to that. Who is the asshole who gave massive tax cuts that weren't paid for? Who got us into a trillion+ dollar war? I do get a chuckle of watching the fox news fanclub try to pin it all on Obama though.

Health Care Reform

End of DADT

Originally posted by Jesus H ChristThe Americans amaze me in this forum because they get so complacent.

If most of the political tards on this forum took a fraction of the time and energy spent here arguing with complete strangers over shit they do not control and put that into their online porn business, they would probably be the Warren Buffet of porn.
Instead, they opt for endless hours of partisan political debates with pornographers.

I do not care if you want to start your discussion topics. I do not care how many different right wing, Obama or Democrat hating, political threads you start. Nor that you like to go round and round with these all day week after week pissing in the wind on some pornography message board.
The point is very simple.
Stop trying to give the illusion to others you are 'presenting facts' when it is clear to anyone who has read even a handful of these types of threads that you are in, that you are biased like a mofo. Just say that and be honest with yourself.
I normally do not bother to even ready these threads, much less participate in them, as they are the same cast of characters arguing the same point, counter points, over and over every week. I just happened to catch this one today and saw the same name (you) with the same view point as always. But citing, 'just the facts'. When in fact is just more bantering of your die hard partisan beliefs. Just don the white sheets and be done with it.
