Getbig Main Boards / Politics and Political Issues Board / Re: Bayonet Co. slices Obama to shreds: "He should educate himself"

What reality is this?
Where people fucking argue points not even mentioned in the debate? Obama said fewer, he is correct. Romney's point was stupid anyway, Obama used an analogy which is correct. We have fewer ships, but also fewer horses and bayonets. The implication was that warfare has changed, which Obama elaborated on in the very next sentence.
Everything he said was correct, his analogy correct and his pointing out that Romney is unaware that warfare has evolved correct. Seriously, what kind of a fucking argument is the number of ships? LMAO. Again bush had fewer ships then obama, so what the fuck was the point of his argument?
that obama is a ship hater? can't be true that more ships are needed? no they are not that number of ships somehow relates to military might? no that the US needs to spend more on the military? you already spend more then all other developed countries.
seriously what are you guys arguing about? Romney made a stupid statement and trying to rip Obama's factually correct retort by making up shit makes you look like a lunatic fringe meat pie.
Russia announced this year that they intend to spend $137 billion dollars to beef up their navy. A Congressional study this year deemed China's naval build up an "aggressive act". You might want to re-think the notion that our navy is of no concern. Expressing a concern over the state of our Naval capabilites deserves more consideration from the Commander in Chief than a smart assed quip.

The horses and bayonets comment was odd...really odd. There's over a half a million bayonets out there amongst the different branches of the service...is it more or less than 1916? I don't know, but that's a fuck of a lot of bayonets any way you slice it. Trying to minimialize that number is kinda foolish. The horses thing is odd given this story.... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/22/horse-soldier-near-world-trade-center-afghanistan_n_2000861.htmlMaking light of the role of mounted soldiers on the day a monument to them is dedicated at ground zero reinforces the notion that he is insensitive re the sacrifices made by our military....it's just not an optimal response. It's a shame he had to be a dick about it. How we allocate resources and what the needs of the military will be going forward is a legitimate topic for discussion. What will constitute an effective Navy ...in light of China an Russia's naval build ups...is an issue we'll have to come to grips with. The President owes the country more than a smart assed remark

Romney..., popular vote no more than 5-7 pts... but possible electoral landslide...Obama negatives are too high. Worst record for an incumbent to run on in my lifetime...including Bush v1.0. I think Obama senses he's in deep shit...the bits of the debate I saw last night looked like he was trying to draw Romney into a street fight while Romney was staying above the fray and looking "Presidential". If he truly thought he was ahead, Obama would not have spent so much time and energy on the attack....

Obama got Jack Ryan out of the Illinois senate race by getting his divorce records unsealed...the Tribune did the dirty work of filing the papers....but the campaign most likely put the word out that there was something worth looking into. I have no doubt that someone close to the campaign gave Allred the nod to pursue this...she's a huge Obama supporter.
Trump.....I believe would act on his own, he's kind of a loose cannon. But I have no doubt the Romney people have bushels of opposition research on Obama. It's how the game is played.
At some point...maybe it's this year..or the next one...we'll hit a tipping point ad this kind of bullshit will start backfiring.
