Romney VS Obama: The Megathread

[Neo Art]

and the point is?

His point is he's 15, and voting for Romney. AKA just another summer puppet, vacuous and dull.

John Adams, 2nd President and signer of the Declaration of Independence warned:
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

He also counseled:
"The people have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge - I mean of the character and conduct of their rulers." Our very Constitution is threatened when we permit immoral conduct by our leaders.

Quite nice, wouldn't you say?

Oh pish posh, that's only what the founding fathers said. The bible says...

Just preparing you for the inevitable.

Because then he would be able to hear the laughter from everyone in the country. That would kind of ruin the mood.

No he's not, and that's unfortunate because now the rest of us will have to actually pay attention to find things to mock him over.

That being said the VP debates this year are going to be far more entertaining, none of this "Biden is picking on a girl" crap we had to put up with last year.

One of the most dispicable narratives of the 2008 campaign was that Sarah Palin was simultaniously a go for the throat, take no prisoners pitbull, and a poor poor woman who that mean Joe Biden made fun of!

I love those guys at the National Review Online:

"Romney has chosen a running mate who is more presidential than the incumbent."

[Alien Space Bats]

Yes, the fanatical Libertarians. We have this radical plan to take over the government and then leave you alone so criminal gangs and corporate goons can terrorize and enslave you!

Fixed that for you.

(1) Only an idiot could think that spoiled-kid is more "presidential" than statemanship is.

(2) Why should any non-Tea Partier care what that increasingly unhinged right-wing rag says?

I love how they're still referring to Romney as the "presumed nominee" in that video, as if they still have a chance to escape without him shackled to their legs.

Edit: Oh gods, he referred to Romney as "the solution" in reference to a black man being part of the problem. It's almost like he wants to be called a fascist.

[Cannot think of a name]

He announced it after the daily chatter shows were out but before the Sunday news programs which set the conversation for the following week. So Ryan's selection will dominate the conversation on the Sunday talk shows, padded with Romney surrogates and profiles of Ryan and a favorable biography.

This will likely maintain through next weekend as well, leading to the Republican Convention...if they actually play it right they get to control the conversation for the next month and dominating the news cycle like that should have an effect on the polls.

Since Romney has been behind the news instead of ahead of it, theoretically this should change his fortunes.

Unless of course he fucks up and has to go back on the defensive.

Well, the conventional wisdom-spewers have always loved Paul Ryan, and the Republicans love Paul Ryan, so that's a good idea.

Unfortunately, they're going to be staring down an ad blitz by the Obama campaign next week that will make Romney's tax return Issue look like teleprompters.

You might want to avoid the rhetoric that makes you sound like insane fanatics. Just some friendly advice.

Yes, the fanatical Libertarians. We have this radical plan to take over the government and then leave you alone!

we know we're right and willing to do anything for the cause.

IF you don't see how that can easily be taken the wrong way, that's your problem.

[Jocabia]

Somehow the way you say it makes it so unsettling to me. Really.

Aww, don't let the thought of me not interfering with your life interfere with your life- that's so not me!

It's an utter and bold-faced lie told by Ryan.

He doesn't want the government out of your life. He wants the Federal government out of your life. He LOVES it when the state government interferes with your life.

There's another link that lists all Paul's faults (few pages back) on a forum page with a serious of links to articles that support said faults. He's not a clean-cut guy.

Those are only for the pirates, not wars.

Letters of marque and reprisal

Calling the September 11, 2001, attacks an act of "air piracy", Paul introduced the Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001. Letters of marque and reprisal, authorized by article I, section 8 of the Constitution, would have targeted specific terrorist suspects instead of invoking war against a foreign state.[316] Paul reintroduced this legislation as the Marque and Reprisal Act of 2007.[361] He voted with the majority for the original Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists in Afghanistan.[313] In April 2009, following the Maersk Alabama hijacking, he proposed issuing letters of marque to combat the problem of piracy in Somalia.[362]
