[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;29005949]Good for him. Unless the gop wants to cut things that are useless like the war on drugs or military then we shouldn't have to stop health care because the gop has a gun fetish.[/QUOTE] I was with you until "gun fetish".
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;29007068]I was with you until "gun fetish".[/QUOTE] Nothing wrong with guns I was talking about there obsession with war not so much about there 2nd amendment liking.
[QUOTE=redBadger;29004385]I love how democrats are just as bad, however facepunch targets republicans more. funny[/QUOTE] Democrats don't run on a social conservative platform.
Noes my automerge. You ruined my 4000nth post
[QUOTE=jimhowl33t;29001564]That's Republicans for you, if their opponent does anything, he's wrong.[/QUOTE] Nice sweeping generalization there boyo. [editline]5th April 2011[/editline] ITT: OH MY GOD IT'S ALL THE REPUBLICANS FAULT!! LET'S POINT FINGERS INSTEAD OF DOING ANYTHING DIFFERENT OH FUCK
[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;29007129]Nothing wrong with guns I was talking about there obsession with war not so much about there 2nd amendment liking.[/QUOTE] I think "foreigner murdering fetish" would be more appropriate.

LET'S POINT FINGERS INSTEAD OF DOING ANYTHING DIFFERENT OH FUCK[/QUOTE] I mean, the Republicans are the ones standing in the way of positive change with their current platform. We SHOULD be pointing fingers at them.
[QUOTE=Cell;29007287]I mean, the Republicans are the ones standing in the way of positive change with their current platform. We SHOULD be pointing fingers at them.[/QUOTE] Nobody should be pointing any fingers at anyone, we should all be WORKING TOGETHER.
[QUOTE=BigOwl;29007352]Nobody should be pointing any fingers at anyone, we should all be WORKING TOGETHER.[/QUOTE] We cant if they believe completely opposite things. Sorry but the only way is to fight the person the other think is wrong.
[QUOTE=BigOwl;29007352]Nobody should be pointing any fingers at anyone, we should all be WORKING TOGETHER.[/QUOTE] Democrats are the masters of accommodation, it's because of that and the conservative's stonewalling that the healthcare bill got gutted, yet they still bitch about it like it's the coming of the anti-christ.
[QUOTE=BigOwl;29007352]Nobody should be pointing any fingers at anyone, we should all be WORKING TOGETHER.[/QUOTE] I don't think that's going to work with the Republicans. See: *spend money in effort to help economy* "Why the hell are you spending money? We're in debt! We can't afford this!" *refuse to spend money, again in effort to help economy* "What are you doing? We need this short-term spending bill, or else there will be a shutdown!" Also: "Okay, let's at least agree that we should fund abortion in cases where the mother is in danger or was raped." Republicans: "Well, about that..." Also: "Okay, let's compromise on this healthcare bill, so that we're both happy." R: "Yes, do that." *minimal amount of time later* R: "The Democrats aren't compromising at all on this bill! Please compromise." "Okay." *minimal amount of time later* *repeats itself*
[QUOTE=BigOwl;29007352]Nobody should be pointing any fingers at anyone, we should all be WORKING TOGETHER.[/QUOTE] Yeah fuck accountability
Well I'm glad that Obama's finally taking a bloody stand and telling the GOP no for once.

We heard similarly ludicrous claims about G W Bush (there were many legitimate problems that he had, but that of course won't stop anyone from making up new ones) and will have the same retarded complaints about future presidents too.
Oh, the 2012 election is going to be good. With so much dirt on both sides, maybe America will have a new revolution/reform.
[QUOTE=Nahyan;29010633]Oh, the 2012 election is going to be good. With so much dirt on both sides, maybe America will have a new revolution/reform.[/QUOTE] nope
[QUOTE=analrapist;29002043]Yeah. In California if they raised the tax on the rich like 1.5% for one year, it would completely solve all our budget problems. But Republicans are blocking any attempt at doing that.[/QUOTE] Or, alternatively, the rich take themselves and all their money to Nevada or Oregon. [editline]5th April 2011[/editline] Both parties are equally to blame for the pile of shit we are in right now. Bush signed off on TARP, and Obama piled onto it. Neither party is willing to work with each other to reach a compromise. And frankly, neither of their plans do a damn thing to help the deficit.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;29010893]...you... ...Go read the article that was posted only yesterday saying that this myth republicans purport isn't true at all.[/QUOTE] What, that people cannot move?
[QUOTE=Ridge;29010897]What, that people cannot move?[/QUOTE] No, that "higher taxes" drive away rich people it's like your explosions, but even worse at trolling
Well give me the link to the article.
You know, why can we all just chill out and dance to dubstep :v: I mean seriously, we all at eachother's throats over core ideals in our personalities. It becomes more and more difficult to debate if both people are getting angry. Yes I'm a bit high right now.
[QUOTE=Lazor;29010738]nope[/QUOTE] It is better to be an optimist and proven wrong than a pessimist and proven right.

How many times does the republican give the democrats that ever so deserving reach around during the assfuck that the dems DO get? Almost never. Come on man.

Ya know, the one that bailed out unions and auto makers and banks while the people that actually do the spending continued to suffer.

You defeat yourself sir. I'm not defending the democrats under any illusion that they're [i]that[/i] great. And no, check the thread maybe. Either way, I don't believe rich people do migrate in the way you imply.

Where they going to go? The country can't function without those tax rates. No ones even suggesting to go to 1950's US tax rates(90%), so I don't see why anyone has their panties in a twist.
