    Muslims have no high ground on morality. Deriving sexual pleasure from a beheading video is about as sick as one can get.

    How about him lying about his association with Bill Ayers? When asked if he knew him, all he said he lived down the street and his kids went to school with his kids.

    Obama has called on 2 seperate occassions for Civlity in discourse.One was after the
    Gabby Giffords shooting.Where Democrats like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz actively
    made reference to the Tea Party as possibly being behind the Tragic Arizona Shooting.
    Things got heated in the public political debate.So Obama made a cushy speech
    replete with Obama -t-shirts being handed out calling for a more civil tone.
    To pipe down the rhetoric.Of course it was short lived because Democrats went right back to
    being outrageous in their tone and delievery.To this day Bill Maher makes news with some
    new way to name-call the Tea Party and Republicans.Maher actually calling Sarah Palin,
    a V.P. running mate very dispicable names I can't even print w/o being deleted.
    Yet Obama,this man of Civlity willingly took Maher's check { donation } of $ 1 Million.
    Obama refused to give it back,even when confronted with all thge names,Bill Maher
    uses to describe Republicans.
    Here's one for ya.Did ... Tell us exactly what Obama has told the God's Honest truth
    about.Virtually everything he states has either a tinge of both hyperbole and lie or
    just outright Lying.

    Or any Reverend Wright Rants in the Trinity Baptist Church for 20 years.
    Obama never heard a single word.
    Or his associations with Tony Rezko,a convicted Felon.Active fundraiser in Chicago.
    Forgetting not that Obama and Rahm Emanuel actively campaigned for Rod Blagojevich's
    Gubernational election.Yet both Rahm and Obama threw Blagojevich under the bus
    faster than turning a light switch off.

    This is an addendum . . .

    Irishman,
    I noticed the NYPD shield that is attached to your moniker. I am going to post something in reference to meddling in the affairs of others post and connect what I have previously posted to you being in law enforcement or an officer of the law, if it is applicable.
    The topic is hypocrisy and it negating any claim to justification and the juvenile protest of "everyone else does it".
    In being a police officer, a peace officer or a law enforcement agent, if one is a hypocrite or one tolerates hypocrisy in others in your profession, it will eventually result in the denigration of the agency you work for and the profession of which you represent. If this attitude is pervasive throughout law enforcement and the overall society, the result is a complete meltdown of order, which impacts peace, security, peace of mind and contentment.
    Why do I use this example? I use it to show you the impact of hypocrisy on institutions, societies and eventually governments. If you doubt what I have typed, look around you and the abysmal reputation of the NYPD as a whole. This is also true about the United States as a nation, government and people.

    If they caught him in a lie, they'd nail him just like they did with clinton.

    No, you draw the conclusions fed to you by liberal Romney haters.

    My mom told me when I was a little kid to believe nothing that you read and only half of what you see. and I have found those words to be profound.

    The difference between you and I is, I don't believe any of the personal attacks about Obama, because it is hyped up bull(*)(*)(*)(*), but you believe all the personal attacks on Romney, and don't realize how words are either twisted or taken out of context. I used the example of Benghazi-gate because it is not someone personally attacking Obama, but unfolding the ineptness and cover up he created.

    You mean he was like anyone who buys a used semi, drives it to make a living, then sells the semi, or anyone of millions of other people who buy an item, use it to make a profit and then sell it? He was one of THOSE millions who didn't have a 'typical job'? And some of them are smart enough to deal in a product which is well insulated from failure?

    By the way, a bean counter is an accountant or some such detail-oriented profession, and that is a VERY typical job.

    And again by the way, I never really thought of "inventor" as a "typical job". Ha, ha, ha that's pretty funny though. I think 'inventor' is about as atypical as jobs get. :)

    ****


    You can only draw conclusions on the data that's been fed you. And as Billy points out, when you're fed ONLY information which leads you to a negative picture of someone, guess what conclusion you're going to draw about that someone...

    Along with your completely left-slanted info sources, try watching Fox News to get some somewhat right-leaning news that you will NEVER get from a left leaning source.

    You do want to be intelligently balanced, correct? :)

    romney is extremely likable to conservatives and extremely unlikable to liberals. Just like sara palin.

    Both embody everything conservatives love and everything liberals hate.

    Mainly, their parents.

    Post some links and credible arguments with what is otherwise one massive pile of crap post.

    I'll put it another way. "Because you say so" has as much weight as yak squeeze.

    You think you could stop Russia? China? Fight the terrorist who want to destroy western civilization on your own?

    I don't think so.

    You involved yourself. But when we are attacked you betcha we are going to go after those who attack us and those who are or will supply them arms and weapons.

    Why do you let us do it to you if you are so strong? Yeah you were doing really good there in WW2 till we came to the rescue. And Russia would have just been the sleeping bear had we not confronted them to protect you an all of Europe. And what presences does the UK have in far East now, how well do you do out there stopping China?

    Oh come on. This looks like something written by the Republican version of Chris Mathews.

    Well, to go up on the likeability scale he should just roll some joints like Obama, and write a book about it. Yeah, it's already been done, but MANNNN, IT'S LIKE TOTALLLY RAD.

    He did post links silly, and "Because you didn't know" is a sorry excuse to be supporting Romney.

    A list of his supposed virtues isn't why people don't like him or trust him. They don't like and trust him due to his sins. Greed, callousness, wealth flaunting in a time of economic despair. Hiding his taxes because they would embarrass him politically. Off shore bank accounts. Willingness to take cops off the Wall Street beat and drive us further into a two class society where there are exploiters and the exploited.

    How is that a lie? Do you even know the definition of a lie?
    Changing your position or not fulfilling a campaign promise is not a lie.
    But in romneys case he tells one group on Monday he is for something then tells another group on Tuesday he is against it, then when asked about the flip flop he says he didn't. I'm sure even you can see how those are lies.


    No, I consider that a campaign slogan that was true until the republicans demanded most of the stimulous be in the form of worthless tax cuts.

    Not at all considering that the law is not fully implemented yet and we don't know how the rates will shake out.
    Who ever told you it is going to cost you more is the one that is lying.

    No I don't, the Libya thing is a desperate attempt by the right to politesse the tragic deaths of Americans. I think it's disgusting but the right makes a habit of using dead Americans for political gain, look at what they did with 9/11.

    Please do go on, you have yet to provide a single 'lie' as I predicted.
    It might serve you well to look the word up, give a base to start with.

    11. and most important: he's full of (*)(*)(*)(*). Also I don't like or dislike someone based on if they do drugs or drink, I like or dislike someone based on the content of their character.

    He didn't lie about his so called association with Bill Ayers.
    Ayers held a 'meet the candidate' get together for Obama when he was running for Senate, big fracken deal.
    He lived down the street and their kids went to the same school.
    Where is the 'lie'?

    Again, just because you want and need to see things that aren't there to justify your partisan hate doesn't mean to you to call things 'lies'.
