[QUOTE=Zeke129;31953032]This would be an argument if any major funding decision was voted on directly by the people but it doesn't work that way A representative democracy doesn't represent the people in many cases, it represents the organizations with the most money[/QUOTE] I don't know about other states, but the Colorado state Constitution says that all new taxes have to be voted on by the people.

He also called the president "b-rock"

[QUOTE=Capitulazyguy;31951532]Blame FDR for that.[/QUOTE] yeah, no.

Witty title is really sarcastic and stupid but doesn't have to do with the argument. [editline]26th August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Ridge;31957194]Should he call him bear-uck?[/QUOTE] Mr. Obama, or Obama, or the President, or anything like that.
You people seem to be forgetting that these candidates are actually going to hold true what they say during their campaigns once one of them is elected. Honestly it doesn't matter if one of these guys wins or Obama stays in office, nothing will change.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;31945918]I really don't understand how anyone can argue in favour of giving an imaginary plot of land rights before giving equal rights to their fellow man It's either stupidity or malice, which is it conservatives[/QUOTE] Can a conservative on this site please address my concern here, without using the word "constitution" I want a moral reason not a legal one
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;31957069]Eisenhower did alright. [/quote] I'm not saying military service makes you a bad president. Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson all served in the military, and they were some of our best presidents, but it wasn't their military experience that made them great.

Obama should get Josh, Toby and Sam in. Sort things out.
Conservatives in power, three opposition parties leaderless. [editline]26th August 2011[/editline] And from what I can tell, Harper is scary.

Not yet but who knows, someone might lose a hockey game and....
[QUOTE=Ridge;31959367]So have the major population centers been burned to the ground by the conservatives yet?[/QUOTE] Yeah because the government isn't doing a bad job unless they are setting things on fire. Fire is the only way that bad can happen.

I am making a joke because people like you who swear the world is going to end whenever a conservative gets into power.
I don't think Michele Bachmann actually stands as a real "contender."
Oh hey guys is there another dem- *sees all 4 republican candidates running for president* :suicide:

Can you name one person who would run against him? If Hilary tried again, good luck getting that Secretary of State post again when Obama wins!
