GOP on damage control

[_aj_]

I think that the perjorative term "racist" has been so overused it has no meaning or practical effect at all. Am I racist? Sure! Who the fuck cares anymore? You're going to call me racist if I disagree with you politically, so it's no longer a totemic talisman.

Your most effective gun is flat out of bullets.

Racist has become the fallback position of naive and dumb college kids, uneducated housewives, low IQ liberal voters, and the lazy, irresponsible, unaccountable, minorities looking for a free handout because they are unable to compete in society on equal terms.

If racism and favoritism are so "unfair" to blacks, remove affirmative action immediately and let them compete on equal terms with everyone else. Do away with Section 8 housing, five generations of the same family on welfare, and all of that government handout crap.

I dont understand the point of bitching and moaning about Obama. He isn't going anywhere. He will most likely not get impeached. I see all these people on social media constanty complain about Obama. What purpose does this serve? Does this change anything? Millions of people probably bitched and moaned about obama in the last few days. And guess what? He is still president.

So, I ask, why do people continue to bitch and moan about him? What is it changing?

Where does all these free handouts come from?  When I had to stop working last year because of my illness I didn't receive shit despite working for the last 13 years.

Everybody complaining about Obama being the worst president of all-time, except the MSM and Hollywood. Those idiots will ride the liberal failure wagon right into the ground to try to prove they're superior.

Youre on the mild side. I am talking about people who constantly bitch and moan and politics or obama. Unless youre going to take an active stance in the political world, what purpose does bitching and moaning serve?

I ran and won an election at the local level several years ago. If the wife won't divorce me, I may again. I am being heavily recruited in NH...

If youre just some regular "Joe" and have no active stance or job in the political world, its very baffling how someone would feel superior knowing obama failed. Most people are so far separated from governmental policies, its strange that the average person would feel "superior" because obama fails. Talk about grasping for anything to make oneself feel superior.

Yes, but how many people actually run or win at the local level or even in the state or national level? A very small number compared to the amount of people who bitch and moan.

Very few states make it possible to have a career and be a state level rep. NH is one: part time legislature, $100 salary/year.

For most folks, bitching and voting are their only options.

you mean a biblethumping asshat  a canadian biblethumping asshat?

this doesn't bother me - why?  Because he will curb the spending.  RINOs/establishment repubs aren't changing a thing.  They sent obama $1.1 trillion bucks for 2015 just to neuter the new Senate from having any power at all, then a spending bill up to Feb 2015 was all they needed.

If you vote that's an active stance as was seen in the last elections. Hope this helps.

I'm sure more people would run if they could skip the vetting process like Obama.

What was your role at the local level?

What was your role at the local level?

Town Meeting. It's was the Wild West of local legislative process.

I've been to a few here and where my mom lives. It gets loud to put it mildly. Too bad it usually falls on deaf ears.

Yes, Hollywood and the MSM are very average. The opinions of Whoopi Goldberg, Sean Penn, Chris Mathews, and other brain dead libs don't count for anything more than the average Joe. But the average Joe has just as much right to say the president sucks ass, when it is so obvious, this president sucks ass. The criticism has nothing to do with level of political involvement or skin color, it has to do with years of proven incompetence.

But your bullshit Straw Man" argument is so ridiculously big, it could be lit on fire and you could hold a shitty music festival around it.

It wasn't a strawman argument. It was trying to understand the purpose that is served by constantly bitching and moaning about politics.

I don't think I ever made a specific argument for or against something. My post was seeking clarification on something. I don't know how you warped that around in your little mind as a "strawman argument." But hey, whatever works for you, man!

[SaintAnger]

I don't have time to care anymore.  I don't even vote.  Let both sides do WTF they want.  Not my mess.  I'm worried about ME.

[Slapper]

That must be why Jews keep getting slaughtered wherever they go.

Knowing what they know, having lived through what they've lived, you'd think the responsible Jews would quickly put out these incendiary bullshitters but... they only understand the language of the sword.

Your point was saying that if a person is not "politically involved" enough to your liking they either don't get to have an opinion on politics, or their opinion is considered useless bitching and moaning if it is critical of your messiah. You attempted to demean the normal voter as being an "average Joe". I think the people you criticize for bitching and moaning are the ones hurt most by this administrations failed policies.

What is your position on people who cannot even name the candidates on the ballot, solely voting for someone based on skin color? Like the Obamaphones crowd who, "don't have time for that shit"?
