[QUOTE=Fhenexx;37822417]I know I'm going to get flooded with boxes for saying this, but this really isn't helping the poor almost solely because of the individual mandate. As in, poor people not already covered by an employer's insurance [i]must pay for it themselves[/i], regardless if they can actually afford it or not. Otherwise, they will incur a penalty. The way they set it up, without any sort of assistance for poor people to buy healthcare, it just can't do anymore but hurt the poor.
Although I could be wrong about there being no assistance for people who can't afford insurance, but I can't see anything about it.[/QUOTE]
Um, no, they have to pay for it [i]only if they can afford it[/i].
I'd rather have Samuel L Jackson as president as apposed to Barack or Mitt (yeah Ron also whatever). The US may get royally fucked up but it would be hilarious to see.

My family is at 81% for the federal poverty level and we have to rely on private charity for our healthcare needs.
Where the fuck do you sign up for the government to give you free healthcare?[/QUOTE]
Im psure that part isnt out yet, remember its coming out in parts.
it's always funny how it's often the poor people who support the GOP, the very same people that want to fuck poor people in the ass lol

You mean like how the southerners boycotted elections after the Civil War and a bunch of pro-union politicians got elected or how Stalin boycotted the UN and wasn't there to veto the invasion of North Korea?

I hate to break this to you yawmwen but you aren't going to ~change da system~ by making pointless false equivalency arguments every time a thread about Republicans or Democrats pop up.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;37821559]It's offensive to the intellect.
Obama supporters need to wake the fuck up. This is a pretentious as fuck ad.
"A millionaire declared war on women, unions, fair pay."
Yea, Obama did that.[/QUOTE]
I totally agree that Obama hates women, as well as [url=http://cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-stop-blaming-unions-immigrants-gays]unions, minorities, even people of different sexualities,[/url] and will stop at nothing to destroy [url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bernard-whitman/reason-23-equal-pay-for-w_b_1819376.html]equal pay[/url]

it would be silly to think the news, probably whatever the opposite of Fox is, would spin and project such negative traits onto the other candidate or something, how irresponsible and devious
[QUOTE=yawmwen;37822605]Fuck Romney.[/QUOTE]
ok now I don't feel snarky anymore but god damn where are you getting any of your talking points
[QUOTE=yawmwen;37822676]An attack on Obama should never be taken as an endorsement of Romney. I hate both.
And before anyone says "Well, Obama is better", being stabbed is preferable to being shot as well. It doesn't mean I'm fucking jumping for joy if someone comes to stab me. Neither are sane choices.[/QUOTE]

get off your ass and get active in politics instead of sitting on the sidelines romanticizing the notion that if you don't vote for them they'll just disappear. Go be a libertarian and wish for a minimal government society based on free will and freedom [aka "anarchy yeah woo fuck the man" for people who don't wear studded leather jackets] if you want to feel like you're trying, but do [I]something [/I]or you'll just get swept away in the currents of everyone else's ideals. You have no room to complain if you don't even try
[QUOTE=Dr. Gestapo;37822715]voting for anyone other than Romney or Obama is wasting your vote.[/QUOTE]
The only votes ever wasted are those that aren't cast. Even if you don't vote for Romney or Obama, there are several other things you vote for on a ballot (Senators, Congressmen, propositions, etc).
[QUOTE=yawmwen;37822586]So basically they increased the poor's tax rate by two percent.
That's a great fucking way to help them out.
Aid doesn't address poverty. It makes sure that the poor have sustinence and can continue to be exploited.
I.E. it is essentially slavery.[/QUOTE]
Because Obama is supposed to be able to wave his magical wand and make us all rich, love each other, end war, cure sickness, less taxes, fix economics, help us pay less for college, help gays get same benefits as straight couples, fix foreign relations, give us all jobs, end the problems in the African Region, help end the drug war in Mexico, solve racism, find more better and efficient treatments for mental disorders like the Autism spectrum, and give us all hot women in just under [b][u][i]FOUR YEARS!!![/i][/u][/b]
Clearly he's just a lazy person and we should all vote for the white, rich, ultra-religious nutjob and his Objectivist pool boy as our president.
"Say hell no motherfuckas!"
Awesome.
[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;37839249]Clearly he's just a lazy person and we should all vote for the white, rich, ultra-religious nutjob and his Objectivist pool boy as our president.[/QUOTE]
He didn't at any point endorse Romney, and doesn't side with him or Ryan. Doesn't make his points any less arrogant or whimsically inclined, though.
The president is not solely to blame for a lot of successes as well as a lot of failures, and the idea that just something occurring is his fault because he is somehow complicit in [I]every last thing's[/I] execution smacks of nonsense.
A question to all Americans here. What do you think of Obama's performance as president so far?
Is he the knight of shinny armour the media usually paint him as?
[QUOTE=mac338;37820779]Humor's a huge part of Judaism. Unless you're like ultra-orthodox.
As a Jew I can tell you humor and education are very important and prevalent in the whole Jewish culture.
That's why you got all those comedians from Jon Stewart to Jerry Seinfeld. There's actually a whole [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Jewish_comedians"]list.[/URL] Skim it, you might recognize some and be surprised. Like Stephen Fry for instance.[/QUOTE]
Stephen's parents were Jewish, he's an atheist.

He isn't the knight in shining armor, but he is the one that is the least likley to fuck us over to a certain level compared to romney.
So wait... you guys are telling me you'd rather have a president (Obama) who shields his appointed officials (Eric Holder) from prosecution, even if they allowed thousands of guns to be sold to known criminals (Operation Fast and Furious); causing hundreds of deaths in order to advance a political agenda?
Please... tell me again who really needs to wake the fuck up.
