2012 Electoral College Thread

What you are missing is legion. The "statesman-like impression" is the very act of matching wits with the like of that super-brain Joy Behar while the world rages, the UN is in session and he has no bi-lateral meetings. At the very least he could have gotten on the phone and smacked down that nut job from Pakistan and told him to cancel the $100,000 bounty on that moron filmmaker within 24 hours or kiss your foreign aid goodbye.

Or, hell (!) he could just threaten to just drop a drone down his chimney. It's raining drones in Pakistan anyway. One could "go off course."

Well that's why I keep you around Byco.

To tell me these things, like how income tax is stealing, and drinking milk is killing people, and Obama matching wits with Joy Behar is taking time from doing something he already did!

in 2011, Wisconsin electorate was +1R in the recall election...why would you poll +6 Dem now??? whats changed.

Democrats weren't unified behind Barrett and not all Wisconsin Democrats agreed with the idea of a recall, so I doubt the full base was out that day.

Not to mention only a fraction of the voters that will vote in November voted in the recall election.

The U.S. yanked the aid package from Pakistan? Where's that in the article? Between the lines? Did you post the wrong link?

And check out the cool alliteration on this official statement from the State Department:
?Therefore we find Mr. Bilour?s announcement is inflammatory and inappropriate.?

Wow. There's some "or else" to that response!

He condemned it. You want him to stomp his feet and hold his breath too?

Yank the aid package because one guy who does not answer to Obama in any way shape or form, is not doing exactly what we want?

Maybe Pakistan's president/prime minister should handle that stuff, ya think? After all the railways minister works for them, not Barry.
 
BOMB THEM!!!

...or at least, bomb SOMEONE, right?

Doesn't need to be the same guys.

as long as the world knows we'll bomb somebody when we get attacked, insulted, threatened, or even just sneezed at, all's just fine and dandy.

He's doing the equivalent of stomping feet and holding breath, so that's a moot question. I'm for pulling foreign aid for every country, and there shouldn't be anymore provocation needed than we are not the world's sugar daddy anymore. We've done our end.

Have you been following the news? It's raining drones in the Middle East. That's not working. What's your next idea?

Wait ... here's one. Get the fack out of there. Evacuate the region of all soldiers and diplomats. Leave them to themselves. It's what they want, after all.

And kick the UN out of NYC and once and for all divorce ourselves from that charade.

well, I'd rather cut the sketchy drone campaigns. i think those are doing much more harm than good.

afghanistan appears to me to be about something else at this point... securing the opium trade, or maybe the continued handout to the defense contractors, or maybe both.

and of course, through the drone campaigns, we create more terrorists, which apparently justifies remaining there longer... it's a scam.

but in the end, if you believe the "hype" we still need a military presence in the region to ensure the supply of oil; apparently just paying for it won't work.

personally, that last point is where i will admit I don't have enough understanding of what is going on behind the scenes. so maybe we really can't just pull out of it. (certainly BP, Exxon-Mobil, etc. etc. won't be happy with that) the tail wags the dog

I love how you have the same reply for every "pole" posted, when the results don't favor your opinion on the matter.

Colorado has Obama +4

I'm sure you can find a "pole" showing Obama +3 to make you feel better ....of course Libertarian Gary Johnson is polling better in CO and NH than anywhere and you have to presume "a Vote for Johnson is a Vote for Obama," so bump it up for Barry O a couple notches.


You like poles....
