Rick Santorum Megathread: A Frothy Mixture of Opinions

[Lakeland]

I'm going to take that as your admission that you can't argue, or know how laws work in this country.

I have yet to see any actual evidence or arguments in any of your posts. Mostly generic ad-hominem attacks on your idea of "liberals," misinformed generalizations, and some tired old talking points. Not really enough to argue against.

Since this is going nowhere, what say we all get back to Santorum's insanity?

No offense, but given the caliber of your posts to date, you don't seem to be the kind of person that bases their opinions off of reason. Also you seemed to have missed when I posed this link.

[Wikkiwallana]

Such as?

Do you really want me to list off all the crops that can be harvested through combine? How much time do you have?

Stick to the ones that can grow in Georgia.

S/He's been using far more reason than you.

[Lakeland]

I don't think you're that stupid. So I won't insult you with an actual response.

Well I'm afraid that it is a little late for that; considering you are implying that the military make better law enforcement officers... than our law enforcement officers.

What law enforcement officers? The few poor schmucks patrolling miles and miles of desert totally overworked by the massive tidal wave of illegals? Next you're going to be shocked when I tell you how 1 person can't fend off a mob of thousands.

The whole point of bringing in the army is to put boots, and eyes on the ground.

Says the one who bases your choice of party off of "having strong principles," claims that political parties have direct control of outsourcing, compares the US to Greece, and is stuck in the 19th century on poverty. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

The fifties were pretty nice, in the north anyway.

Yeah, it was great in the 60's when the University of Michigan in Flint denied my mother tenure because she "had a husband who could provide" for her, and so it was better to give the spot to a less qualified man with less experience so that "he'll be able to provide for his family".

And then there was the marital rape.

Yeah, those were the days.

<spits>

[Lakeland]

Actually it does, depending on what the law is like it can be harder or easier to outsource jobs. Remember the "bad old days" or protectionism?

So are the political parties in direct control of sending jobs overseas or is someone else in direct control of sending jobs overseas?

You're just playing dumb at this point.

Looks more like the Socratic Method to me.

You just confirmed yourself for a leftist dido head I hope you realize.

As to debt to GDP, we're right up their with Greece. But I think we'll see Japan start to falter before us, as their debt to GDP is much higher and they aren't growing. On our present course of fate is sealed. Also the left was howling about Bush increasing the debt only a few years ago, so don't try to bullshit me.

Quaint. Japan has nothing to worry about. Neither does the US. Both are 100% safe, and unless one of them suddenly gets hit by a meteor 300 miles in diameter, they'll continue to be fine.

Cool, let's rack up an external debt 10000000% of the GDP. We're 100% safe guys.

Oh, you forgot about that didn't you?

By S&P. Meanwhile, treasury bonds soared like never before.

You do realize there's a difference between debt and deficit, right?

No! I know nothing of economics! Please enlighten me oh wise one with the amazing point you were about to make.

No, history is on his side, we've had a much, much higher Debt to GDP rate than this and payed it back down.

I'm perfectly serious. Because I know more than absolutely nothing about the subject at hand.

[Lakeland]

Or, yah know, just higher legal workers for a fair wage.

The farmers weren't interested in doing that.

Tough shit to the farmers, the regulatory environment has changed. Change or perish.

[Kaeshar]

Eh, hard to tell when NETM is being sarcastic....

[Lakeland]

We do need additional enforcement for the border.

Then we should spend the money to hire extra border enforcement agents. The military is not trained in enforcing border laws. It also is not their job to enforce our laws.

Oh right I forgot, they are only trained to "defend freedom", my bad.

Yes, let's shoot our country in the foot, that will work so well.

From such an "unbiased" judge such as yourself, I'm totally convinced.

[United Dependencies]

You're damn straight that's all they're trained to do.

That and rape servicewomen. Can't be helped, men are unstoppable rape machines. FOX News said so.

So are the political parties in direct control of sending jobs overseas or is someone else in direct control of sending jobs overseas?

You're just playing dumb at this point.

Ok...

So when you asked who sent the jobs overseas, what exactly did you mean?

Again, from such an unbiased judge too, I'm totally impressed by your opinion.

So let me get this straight, according to your own logic. The EPA has no ability to regulate pollution, am I hearing you correct? Because clearly the government has no ability to control what companies do or don't do within their own borders. Do you think you are being clever with such a stupid argument?

Not really, we are fast passing or have passed our all time post WWII high debt to GDP ratio, and we had a much higher tax rate and better economy at that time.

I don't know, maybe you'd like to explain how outsourcing and illegal immigration are still problems, if the government has the private sector well under control?
