I hope your not driving tonite.
I'm not saying I like Scott Walker, I'm just saying that in general a political candidate not having a degree is a plus. I.E. they weren't indoctrinated with a bunch of socialist crap for four years at a university.Imagine if he was missing most of his teeth.
A dream candidate!

I'm just saying that if you don't want an educated public official, you might as go all the way...,you know..,,,full retard.
Many of these leftwingers have selectively short memories. They choose not to remember the assassination threads that were written on talkboards while Bush was president. And you are right about the "payback" aspect. They dished it out during Bush's eight years and now they are getting their noses rubbed in it and they don't like it.

I am a conservative independent. However I will point out that you are being a bit intellectually dishonest. The alleged hatred of Obama by the right has not nearly approached the level of hatred the left displayed against Bush. My bet is that you were one of the haters. And the dictator charge against Obama does have some justification. If you have not noticed, now that Obama no longer has to worry about elections for the remainder of his second term, he is using executive orders on a massive scale to do what he cannot get congress to do. The legislative branch is not their to answer to the executive office's beck and calling. Obama is supposed to be running the executive branch. He is attemping to control both the executive and the legislative branch. That is not how representative government is supposed to work. What Obama is in effect telling the voters....."Don't bother voting for Senators and House members. If I don't get my way, I will bypass them with executive orders."
The continued use of the race card by the left is so childish. I don't think anyone really cares what Obama's race is....they only care about the damage he is doing. And to be honest, I think it's the democrats who are afraid in regards to 2016. The only way the republicans can lose is if they nominate another geriatric RINO.
What lies specifically?I was a Republican most of my life, so you you would be wrong when you said I was one of the Bush haters. After he got out of office I've turned into a hater because I have learned how often he lied and how much damage those lies have done. But actually I voted for him in 2000.
Which isn't the point. Its not the number but the substance of those orders. If a president only issues one executive order during his entire term and that order is to suspend the constitution, would you still be making the same argument?And stop with the executive orders nonsense, previous presidents have used it more than Obama.
Sorry to hear about your racist family, but its not his political affiliation that makes him the way he is. I was married into a very liberal Irish Catholic family, who all voted democrat but used racist language like nothing I have ever heard.My own father in-law hates Obama for one reason only, he's black. He's in his 70's, an old time Republican. Racist as hell. Much of his generation is. So if you really believe no one cares about Obama's race you are being naive, or dishonest to the nth degree.

But sorry, I am not buying the "I used to be a republican, but left because they are lying racists" BS. It easy to lie around here and that is not an uncommon one.
So what you have is typical liberal talking points. Right, you are some republican. Tell, me, did the evil Bush administration force the Clinton Administration to lie about WMD too?None. We have since found out Saddam had everything to do with 9/11, actually he was flying one of the planes but parachuted out just before impact. And Iraq's WMD programs were active. (sarcasm off)
More liberal garbage. Pick up a copy of the Constitution and point to me the clause that empowers the president to do whatever he wants if congress is gridlocked. Let me save you some trouble: its not in there. You know what happens if congress and the president cant reach agreement? Nothing happens. That is how its supposed to be.You can't make the numbers argument so now it's substance? How about this? If this Congress, especially the GOP House wasn't so childish, like voting to defund ACA 60 times, and so gridlocked then maybe the government would work like it suppose to.
Are there republicans who voted against Obama because he is black? No. Republicans vote against Obama because he is a democrat. Are there liberals who voted against Obama because he is black. Absolutely. Are there liberals who voted for Obama because he is black? Absolutely. So it is liberals that are focused on skin color. But then again, race obsessed liberals are about as common as wealth obsessed liberals. Its practically a requirement.I never said there are no libs who are racists. I said to believe no one cares about Obama's race is naive, or flat out dishonest. And if you are continuing that argument then you are naive and/or dishonest too.

First of all, who cares what you think? Second, you cant read. Third, do you think republicans voted against Clinton and Gore and Kerry because they were black too? Or in your little dream world do you think Obama would have gotten 100% of the vote if his skin were a different color?There are NO Republicans who voted against Obama? And this specious claim is your "evidence" that it's just "liberals" who are focused on skin color? Well, that's a pretty asinine argument.
I didn't say only liberals are racist. Apparently, neither you nor kobie can understand the English language very well. But I do agree completely with your second sentence. So we are making progress.So only Libs are racist?
And my opinions are Liberal garbage..
Before you go to bed at night do you check under your bed for the Liberal bogeyman? Booooooo

So you had no point at all then. I should have known.I'm apparently not the one with reading comprehension issues if you think I was claiming every non-Obama vote was because of his race.

Actually, a child could figure out what a liberal believes, so it really doesn't take that much effort. Liberals don't think, they feel. But who would know that better than you.Stick to just making stupid, baseless claims about what liberals believe. Play to your strengths.
I didn't say that, nor do I hate or fear liberals. You are just doing the very thing that made you (supposedly) stop being a republican. See if you can figure out what that is.Yeah, you did. Because of your hatred and fear of everything liberal you don't see it, but you did.
Booooo again.

Hot pot, what color did you say that kettle was?The hackery never stops, does it?

My situation was similar. I was voted Republican for years and then became fed up with them. I then voted Libertarian and eventually agreed to disagree with the LP on a few issues. I voted for Bush in 2000. I suppose I did so because I was sooo damned fed up with the Clintons. Early in the first year I began to suspect something wasn't right about the Bush presidency. I had the impression that he was painting by the numbers, and not doing a very good job at that. September 11 proved to me that Bush was a neocon puppet. I realized that Cheney and others running the government. The remaining Bush years confirmed my suspicions. I left the GOP and registered as an Independent and never looked back.
Just under the surface it is difficult to find much difference between the Democratic and Republican Parties. Yes, as ever, the Democrats are nutless, meek, unimaginative and have no unity. Republicans remain the party of old white men who are comprised of neocons, Tea partisans and religionists who are paranoid fascists. Most important is that both Democratic and Republican parties are owned by corporations and big money. I trust neither party.
