[QUOTE=SM0K3 B4N4N4;25829236]I'm actually not to unhappy about the rise of the Republicans. These new Tea Party guys will cause conflict within the party, they also might do some good when it comes to cutting spending, and the obvious failure of both parties 2 years from now might help the rise of a much needed third party (preferably libertarian).[/QUOTE] A libertarian would be just as bad as the republicans [editline]3rd November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Jenkem;25829424]Yeah, because we want the democrats to continue pouring what's left of us down the drain, right?

[QUOTE=Jenkem;25829483]I doubt the republicans are going to triple our debt.[/quote] Except about 3/4 of the defecit is due to republicans. [quote]What's the worst that will happen?

I love not having to involve myself in these debates. Every time I cringe at a post, I just have to scroll down and see that Warhol did all the work for me. Thanks bro.

[QUOTE=Jenkem;25829711]Not spent us into a debt we'll never recover from?

[quote]Basic economics.

The rich do give jobs, yes, but if there's no one around to, uh, take those jobs, then the rich people: DON'T FUCKING STAY RICH. [quote]Interesting. Both World Wars started under a democrat. They were [I]far[/I] more damaging than Afghanistan and Iraq.[/quote] Are you arguing against WW2? Like wtf is wrong with you. And WW1 actually started the roaring 20s, not only that, the US had little to do with WW1. That was Austria and Serbia. learn some basic history, Jenkem. [quote]Explain this to me. It doesn't make any sense at all.[/QUOTE] I just think you're illterate

[QUOTE=Jenkem;25829711]Both World Wars started under a democrat. They were [I]far[/I] more damaging than Afghanistan and Iraq.[/QUOTE] Is this a serious statement

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;25830590]Is this a serious statement[/QUOTE] Yes, it's Jenkem

I am not happy about the results.

[QUOTE=smurfy;25830371][img_thumb]http://imgkk.com/i/rp_m.jpg[/img_thumb] They [i]have[/i] shown great fiscal responsibility in the past.[/QUOTE] But some might argue, "Oh! But look! Obama's on the rise! He's not helping us at all!" Yet, take a closer look at the chart. Except for Kennedy, from 1945-1981, all the presidents (even Johnson and Nixon) have increased the Debt by a certain amount only for it to go down in later years. Reagan and Bush Sr. erased the progress of 20 years in their 12 and then some. Thank you for the informative chart Smurfy.

[QUOTE=sp00ks;25826288]The Constitution doesn't say shit about religion, free market or social conservatism.[/QUOTE] Actually, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." The government can't say shit about religion at all.

Hey guys I found out why prop 19 failed: [img]http://i.imgur.com/ZNvL8.png[/img]

everyone who would've voted yes on prop 19 is just waking up today from the partying after the giants win

[QUOTE=FoxwolfJackson;25827880] I personally don't care either way if it's legal or illegal... just as long as those potheads don't drive on the road when high and crash into me and kill me.[/QUOTE] That's a horrible reason either way. No record of a single person has crashed into someone or something and performed manslaughter, so I wouldn't worry at all. You don't become stupid from smoking weed, you reaction time is slightly altered but not much is changed unlike alcohol.

[QUOTE=Exploits;25830013]I love not having to involve myself in these debates. Every time I cringe at a post, I just have to scroll down and see that Warhol did all the work for me.

If that's your idea of a debate, there is no hope for you. Next. [QUOTE=sp00ks;25830553]1. Are you fucking kidding me? I don't even know what to say.[/QUOTE] Neither do I.

If there are no restrictions to the free market, the workers will be abused and have shitty lives.[/QUOTE] Good job. A++ reading comprehension. I didn't say that the market should be completely unrestricted, but it should be left to run it's course for the most part. Interfering too much only causes problems. The Soviet Union should be a good enough example of that. [QUOTE]3.

A Democrat senate and Republican HoR. In the next 2 years, the only progress they might make is whether to repeal healthcare or not.

Please stop acting as if I'm saying that socialist dictatorship is the answer. Try looking at Scandinavia instead. 3. Again, that is obviously not what I am saying. Stop being stupid.
