    Yep. He's pretty much whatever gets him votes.

    He's an opportunist. A lot of this religious tripe he's been selling lately is probably just posturing.

    Granted, I guess that's better than him actually believing in it.

    I'd say Perry is much worse than Obama. He's quite possibly worse than Bush.

    I've already mentioned before that I voted for Obama, but I was never a "true believer." I just can't stand how far to the right the GOP has gone now.

    The fact that conservatives now refer to Obama as a socialist shows just how far to the right they are. There is no other country on earth where Obama could even jokingly be referred to as a "socialist."

    The GOP still has a few moderates among their ranks who might do a better job than Obama, but seeing as how being moderate is apparently shunned by a lot of conservatives, I don't see them nominating someone better than Obama.

    I must respectfully agree, Serfin' USA.

    The hapless Democrats still control the Senate and the White House. And this is what they continue to deliver to the disillusioned American people!

    [​IMG]

    Uncle Sam's Plantation 1939-2011 Democrats have been running our inner-cities for the past 30 to 40 years, and blacks are still complaining about the same problems. More than $7 trillion dollars have been spent on poverty programs since Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty​ with little, if any, impact on poverty. Diabolically, every election cycle, Democrats blame Republicans for the deplorable conditions in the inner-cities, then incite blacks to cast a protest vote against Republicans.

    In order to break the Democrats' stranglehold on the black vote and free black Americans from the Democrat Party's economic plantation, we must shed the light of truth on the Democrats. We must demonstrate that the Democrat Party policies of socialism and dependency on government handouts offer the pathway to poverty, while Republican Party principles of hard work, personal responsibility, getting a good education and ownership of homes and small businesses offer the pathway to prosperity.

    Awesome analogy.. .does that mean Yale is the Rolling Stones, and Dartmouth the Who? I suppose MIT would be a prog rocker group like Rush, or Yes, and Stanford the Grateful Dead if only cause of location, and having a tree as a mascot.

    Common leftist rhetoric: It's okay for Democrats to be far left but not for Republicans to be far right.

    I guess you would know this because you've been to every country on earth.

    I suggest you visit Copenhagen sometime then.

    Didn't we already have run in the last election? How exactly did that go?

    If the GOP wants seriously flawed advice on candidates, they'll ask a leftist

    Liberals measure the population as only the universe of liberals...from screaming commie to merely socialist. Everyone who is not in that continuum is an extremist...

    The media goes along with the conceit which is why on one ever hears of far left extremists.

    You are correct on all accounts, MissJonelyn.

    Your remarks are very sincere, directly to the point and well crafted!

    A good example of how the Democrats have used "socialist" economic theory to revive our economy is the use of the Obama stimulus packages to bring us out of this stubborn economic recession.

    An obvious fact that most liberals often ignore much to their political embarrassment is that any amount of government spending always fails to end economic recessions. Spending-stimulus advocates, such as Obama’s closest advisors and cheerleaders, claim that Congress can "inject" new money into the economy, increasing demand and therefore production.

    They have been proven wrong on all accounts. "The idea that increased deficit spending can cure recessions has been tested repeatedly, and it has failed repeatedly. The economic models that assert that every $1 of deficit spending grows the economy by $1.50 cannot explain why $1.4 trillion in deficit spending did not create a $2.1 trillion explosion of new economic activity."

    Gosh, he sounds a lot like Barack Obama!

    The difference is, Rick Perry, unlike Barack Obama, can actually get things done!

    Obama says he's responsible for economy. "Give it to me."

    My god, are you going to tell me now that pigs don't fly, that water doesn't usually run uphill, and that Democrats love the U.S.? There is no evidence for those and there is absolutely no evidence that President Obama is of even average intelligence much less more.

    You are very correct, PatrickT.

    Check this out.

    "Obama would finish his acclaimed memoir, Dreams from My Father, about four years later. Prior to Dreams, and for the nine years following, everything Obama wrote was, like the above sentence, an uninspired assemblage of words with a nearly random application of commas and tenses.

    Unaided, Obama tends to the awkward, passive, and verbose. The phrase "our concern in this area is most appropriately directed at any employer" would more profitably read, "we should focus on the employer." "Concern" is simply the wrong word.

    Scarier than Obama's style, however, is his thinking. A neophyte race-hustler after his three years in Chicago, Obama is keen to browbeat those who would "even insinuate" that affirmative action rewards the undeserving, results in inappropriate job placements, or stigmatizes its presumed beneficiaries."

    He has yet to prove anything to anybody, with the exception of being one of the millions and millions of bookworms in this country...which qualifies him for what exactly? Did he have some proven, Lustrous Law Career? a successful Business? Exactly what has this man done other than go to college?

    Intelligence is measured in many ways, it is usually a combination of things.

    Also Magna Cum Laude puts him in the top 15% of his class, how do we know what grades were really earned and not ''ahem'' given.....

    Did he deserve the Nobel Peace prize he received?,,or was it a .....Gift?

    It was a Gift, even he knows it, how embarrassing.....No wonder he is all for lowering passing grades, perhaps he has benefited himself by grade changing?? The Bar was certainly lowered with the Peace Prize...

    Harvard says he graduated Magna Cum Laude...that should be enough...If you want to question it then why not go to harvard and pay off one of their clerks to get a look at his transscripts

    Actually they did.....because if he didn't graduate Magna Cum Laude they would have sued him for claiming he did years ago.....and he would have been disbarred since it is a crime for a lawyer to lie about his

    The fact that Harvard has never made a single move to discredit Obama in the years that he's claimed to have graduated Magna Cum Laude from the school pretty much proves that he did. If he didn't they would have an air tight lawsuit against him for falsely claiming he did.

    The fact that YOU have not see his transcripts does not mean a thing......

    I havent see Sara Palin's high school diploma, does that mean she never graduated?

    You cannot get sued for embleshing your experience when it does not relates to the job at hand. If I say that I have surgical experience on my resume when I clearly do not, that's what I can get in trouble for. Being Magna Cum Laude doesn't have an impact on his ability to do his job, as anyone can clearly see.

    There is no article or statement from Harvard in favor of Obama's claim. I have yet to see an article or statement which says that he graduated Magna Cum Laude with actual proof.

    Actually it does.

    Dumb strawman argument. It doesn't relate to any sort of accomplishment. She's, nor any of her supporters, are the ones claiming that she was a straight A, Summa Cum Laude or valedictorian and it's not relevant to anything she is doing now career wise.

    First of all....Yes a college can sue you for claiming to have graduated with honors that they did not give you.....and you CAN be nrought up on criminal charges and disbarred for lieing to the Bar Association about your school records.....

    No actually you cannot. That's pure fallacy and completely made up. By that logic I can be sued for claiming I wasbest dressed in school.

    Not that I have never heard Obama personally say that he graduated Magna Cum Laude. Either way, he never mentioned his grades and no one can actually prove the validity of his grades.

    There is no universal standard for Latin honors. That means that a magna cum laude degree can mean different things, depending on the institution which awarded it.

    There are three levels of Latin honors. The first is a cum laude degree. The next is the magna cum laude honor, which is higher than the cum laude distinction. Finally, the summa cum laude honor means “with highest honors,” indicating that the student is at the top of his or her graduating class in terms of academic distinction and talent.

    More than 50% of Harvard graduates are magna cum laude. Cum laude from Harvard is paramount to being an under-achiever. Magna cum laude are the ordinary grads at Harvard and summa cum laude are the 'honor students.'
