I wonder about some of these polls. You can oftentimes find a poll that represents your interests ... no matter what your interests are. If you do enough polls usually you can get one to represent what you want it to represent.

Personally, I am wondering why we haven't banned eating carrots. I saw a poll that reported that 99.99% of cancer patients  ate carrots on a regular basis. Does this prove that there is a link between cancer and carrots?

it's okay to finger bulls based on observation and test, but it's not ok to finger political parties.  democrat policy, especially obama are simply socialists.

obama is a socialist, and that's a bull i'm going to finger OVER AND OVER.

The biggest Obama supporter I know goes to socialist protests....this is after we argued for two days straight about Obama being a socialist. My friend is adamant that I don't know the difference between Democrat and Socialism...and I told him they're sometimes the same.  Then we got into race, and he essentially called me racist. He's half-black and is the most racist person I know.

ask him to tell you the difference.  what limits if any should be on taxation.  what is the price for reparations, and do we get any credit for the civil war, the great society and the other costs people have paid for with their lives and taxes?

just ask questions, let him do the talking.  write down the answers.  keep asking questions, don't talk.  keep the ratio of him talking at 95% and you 5%.

give him the book liberal facism or whatever it is,  by jonah goldberg.

I don't put to much faith in surveys.  I once heard that it was found that 70% of people lied when filling out a survey.  How did "they" find this out?  They took a survey.

Believe me, he does almost ALL the talking. He really kind of makes a fool out of himself, but he really is my friend so I try not to make him too mad.  I've asked him many times to tell me the difference between being a Democrat and being a Socialist.  He's never given me a straight answer, and he doesn't really like to comment on Obama's economic policies.  I've actually got quite a few friends that are Obama supporters, but they don't like to talk about policy either.

but they don't like to talk about policy either.  

facts get in the way.  sounds like they are just anti white male.  ask them to do some research and start a business and try to hire someone.

obama wants transparency in government.

The U.S. Treasury Department is asking banks not to mention the regulatory "stress tests" as part of their first-quarter earnings results, according to a source familiar with government discussions.


is there anything this guy is consistent on?  answer:NOOOOOOOO

obama is a hypocrite and an idiot, and so is most of the american public.

 

[knabe]

a dependent class will tend to vote its pocketbook and keep the government cheese coming.  If government policies make food and heat unaffordable but then provides subsidies for the victims of those policies, where will the money come from if there is no business to get money from?  print it?

obama needs to quit trying to tax people he calls the wealthy ones into poverty becouse no body on here or any were else have ever worked for a poorman. people in business need to be able to  succeed that is capitalism . when we tax wealthy people  over regulate them and kill the american dream an small business then socialism will be . socialism is not what america was built on and it will not work for us.
