Wow ...
All I meant was that isn't even the most jerk-ish thing a politician has done recently. There's plenty to go on both sides.

Sure there is but the POTUS is supposed to be THE LEADER. Obama couldn't lead a pack of cub scouts. Moreover, I'm SICK AND TIRED of how Obama gets to skirt on his rhetoric of kum ba yah and can't we all just get along garbage while in reality he is nothing more than a far left partisan hack.Originally Posted by JeffHCross
W didn't go around during Kerry's convention running his mouth. As I recall he went to his ranch in TX and layed low and allowed Kerry to get his message out. That is the dignified thing to do. Similarly, you rarely (if ever) see W criticize Obama for anything. Rather he lays low and does charity work and keeps out of the spotlight.
I'd bet my life saving that if Obama loses he's going to act like a cry baby and criticize Bush; Romney; and all the "racists" in America.
I noticed a few of you appear to be more of the "Ron Paul" win of the GOP. I agree with Dr. Paul on a # of issues (but disagree on others). Had he won the nomination I would have supported him 100%. However, I don't understand why many Paul supporters refuse to just act like a bunch of idiots and will likely not vote in November giving Obama a better shot at victory than he should have.
Do any of you feel so..... strongly about Paul that you will either not vote in November or vote for some 3rd party candidate which has 0% chance of winning? If so, why?
Yes Mitt Romney isn't perfect for a "Ron Paul" Republican. However, is he not 1 billion times better than 4 more years of BHO? Mitt wasn't my preferred candidate in the primary but he won fair and square and it's time for all wings of the party to get behind Romney/Ryan.
Not really a Paul guy. Like his ideas but feasibility on some of them is a problem in our current government dependency culture. I would vote for Charlie Sheen against Obama/Biden.
No one on the left wants to define when person-hood begins. If not at conception, when? When does the 13th/14th amendment apply to you?This is how we get folks at Princeton like Peter Singer teaching people are defined by their function. Makes it easy to euthanize the problems in society like retards and the aged
i just cant connect with ron paul. and the same kinda goes for romney as well. but its not a reflection of their policies for me, its just that i dont think they make a connection to the middle class very well. they dont appear to be the "average joe" that a lot of America is. the equalizer though, of what i just said, is romney's vp, paul ryan. i like him a lot more than what i do romney.
I agree, but I don't expect to "connect" with any of them. Ideology is everything. Sadly, neither party represents a strong individualistic position, but the Democrats are much farther down the collectivist road.

Dignified ... and W ... never thought I'd see that in the same paragraph (and be correct).
I agree, that is the dignified thing to do. I also think McCain and Obama should have both stayed away from campaigning during each other's convention in 2008 (which the article you linked mentions). I also think the campaign shouldn't start 2+ years before the election. But in all the other ass-hattery that's going around Washington DC and American politics right now, it's par for the course, unfortunately.
And, personally, out of everything stupid and out of line I've seen recently ... Obama campaigning during the convention is barely a blip on my radar. I won't see any coverage of it, and if you hadn't mentioned it I'd be none the wiser. I wasn't aware that either Obama or McCain had campaigned during the conventions in 2008, and I was actually paying attention then (not so much now). I do agree that POTUS should be a leader ... but I also think that of those that have "Leader" (e.g. Majority Leader, Minority Leader) in their title, and I don't see much leadership from "the leadership" on either side anymore.
I am not a Paul supporter, so I'm not really who you're asking this to ... but I am considering voting for a 3rd-party candidate. It's not simply about who's most likely to win ... thinking that way is the only reason, according to studies of exit poll and public opinion poll data, that Ross Perot was not victorious in ... I believe it was 1992. The election isn't about voting for "the candidate most likely to win who matches most of your views". At least not in my eyes. Voting for president should be the same as voting for any other office ... who do you want to win. If you just want a Republican to win -- sure, vote for Romney. But if you hold certain views that don't match with Romney (or, dare say, you think he might threaten), then voting for Romney wouldn't necessarily be in your best interest.
If your sole goal is to keep Obama out of office, it's simple. Just like if my sole goal was to keep Romney/Ryan or McCain/Palin out of office, it would be simple for me. But that's not my primary goal. It's why I don't vote straight party.

So Conservatives like shows that have some emphasis on rules, standards, competition and winners. Democrats like shows that laugh and ridicule rules, standards, competition and winners

So.... WTF are all the Commies doing here this being a website dedicated to college football gaming?
Time to install a perma-ban on the commies at TGT so that Mitt Romney can advertise to us!
In speech tonight, Romney to FINALLY admit for the media that Conservatives plan to: (1) re-institute slavery and (2) declare that all women present are now prisoners of WAR!
About damn time. I've personally been tired of hiding my true feelings for a LONG time!

Funny how the people that he should be going for are the ones that are documenting the lies that he's telling people.
not really. conservatives have usually locked down the religous sector of the county, but there have always been religous groups that have opposed the republican choice for president.
whats really funny though....is that no one jumps on the lies that obama has told. he built his whole campaign on the promises of hope and change for the country, and he's only given people less hope and changed it for the worse. he's been a failure as a president. it doesnt matter who's running for president next....anyone is a better choice than obama.
Obama: I'll cut the deficit in 1/2 by the end of my 1st term - RULING: LIE!!!
Obama: I'll close Gitmo - RULING: LIE!!!
Obama: Pass my "stimulus" bill and unemployment will be 5% by the end of my first term and NEVER go above 8% after it is passed - RULING: LIE!!!
Obama: Pass Obamacare and your health insurance prices will go down after it is passed - RULING LIE!!!
Obama: I believe marriage is between one man and one woman - RULING LIE!!!
Etc...
'Honey Boo Boo' ratings top Republican National Convention
This is what's wrong with this country... I'm not going to pretend like I wanted the RNC but it's absurd that people would choose to watch Honey Boo Boo whatsoever.
Need I list all the lies and false claims in the convention speeches alone by Romney and Ryan?
