  dogpatch,

  :Know why?

  :Because Obama is Black. It's as primal as that.

  Explain how he got elected as President of the United States of America, then. Black people only comprise 13% of our population and even with all "minorities" on his side, 'bama still needed a huge percentage of white folks to get elected. He DID get elected.

  And he is STILL a Marxist who hates his own Country and everything the US Constitution stands to protect.

  I do believe those struck out words above, but I'll leave them out of my assertion.

  Fark,

  Because the choices weren't very good. :-))

  Now they regret it, because Bush stole all our money and we are broke, so they blame attempts at recovery on Obama.

  Randy,

  :Because the choices weren't very good. :-))

  But you asserted the choice was primal and racist. Wouldn't that take precedent over the fact the John McCain was an idiot? I mean, you can't have it both ways. If people are truly as primal and racist as you assert, then wouldn't they vote AGAINST Obama for any candidate who has a different color of skin?

  :Now they regret it, because Bush stole all our money and we are broke, so they blame attempts at recovery on Obama.

  How did Bush "steal all our money?" And how is 'bama making "attempts" at recovery?

  In 2000 our national debt was 5.6 trillion.

  In 2008 our national debt was 9.9 trillion and we were fighting two wars.

  That is an increase of 4.3 trillion over the 8 years of GW Bush.

  After only TWO years of 'bama our national debt is 14 trillion, which is in increase of 4.1 trillion or just about the same increase that happened in a period four times longer under Bush. And that is BEFORE his National Health Care Takeover is implemented.

  In 2008 the national debt was 70% of GDP. Then 'bama got elected. In 2010 it was 86% and the Congressional Budget office predicts it will be 100.6% by next year.

  'bama is doing NOTHING to make attempts at recovery and everything to bankrupt the Country he hates.

  This is not about race, Randy. This is about economic tyranny.

  Life is all about the survival of the...........go on........go on............make yourself say it...........!

  No, thanks. We didn't just crawl out of the primordial ooze - we have supposedly evolved into the most enlightened nation in history. Civilization means, for one thing, that we care for our frail, elderly, children, and sick. For various legitimate reasons, we weren't all born to comfort, didn't all get an education, or learn how to game the system, or work the old boys' network. If you think that is what constitutes 'the fittest' you are selling yourself short. You are a pretty good thinker and a pretty good writer, and you have the gift of a curious, inquisitive mind and enough intellect to know that, like many of us, you deserved better.

  What kind of society do we have, when the willingness to work and work hard is now no longer good enough to provide a middle-class or even an upper lower-class existence for ourselves and our families?

  Do you right wingers ever actually look in to FACTS? Or do you just repeat the talking points fed to Faux News by the Republicans??

  House Republicans announced Monday that they would vote to repeal health care reform legislation next week. The legislation that they would repeal, according to an estimate by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, would reduce the budget deficit by $143 billion over a decade.

  According to the rules laid out by the incoming House Republican majority, the House must pay for all new legislation that increases federal spending - and a repeal bill, of course, is a form of legislation. That would suggest that they must come up with $143 billion to make up for the cost of repealing the health care bill.

  The GOP solution? To exempt repeal from that rule.

  On page 26 of the GOP rules package, which will be voted on tomorrow, is word that Republicans can "exempt the budgetary effects of legislation repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010."

  I do not know if president Obama is going to be re-elected next year or not. In the absence of a serious GOP contender, I think his chance is slightly improved. What do you think? Recently, I read in the media that many companies are reaping huge profits but are not hiring people to generate economic growth. I do not know if this issue will be a major one comes next year presidential election.

  Obama lost all the southern states except Florida, so I think Randy's assertion is accurate.

  FOX news is clearly programmed to appeal to the same viewers who are targeted by the Southern Strategy.

  bizzy,

  Upon closer examination, Randy didn't even make a point. Read what he said carefully:

  :Lordy, I feel like I'm back in Arkansas listening to FOX News 24/7 again, getting paranoid out of my mind, and listening to all the evil organizations or ideas Obama subscribes to. I took about 3 days of that before I had to leave or go insane. It's funny how much more dark Fox news is in Arkansas than California.

  As much as I try, I cannot get what he is saying with that statement. It sounds more like a rant. It is definitely not any sort of argument. There isn't even an assertion there.

  :Know why?

  :Because Obama is Black. It's as primal as that. People in the South don't want a Black president. He is so much above much it's like Sarah Palin vs. Bill Maher.

  Ok. Now we have a conclusion, but I'm wondering where that conclusion came from. He's listening to FOX, getting paranoid, and listening to all the evils that FOX says Obama subscribes to. Assuming all of that is true, he surmises that the conclusion MUST be that is "Obama is black."

  Non sequitur and I know Randy knows that. He then surmises that "people in the South don't want a Black President", but presents not ONE shred of evidence that his conclusion was based upon what FOX news reported, but only that he "feels" he is back in Arkansas.

  :My not so humble opinion.

  I love that sort of honesty, Randy. Still love you, too.

  :There's no such thing as good and evil; it's intelligence vs. stupidity. :-))

  Off the wall red herring that has nothing to do with anything in your argument.

  I offered as evidence that the south (other than Florida) voted against Obama, verifying Randy's conclusion that the south does not want a black president. Not sure how much more clear that can be........?

  He's listening to FOX, getting paranoid, and listening to all the evils that FOX says Obama subscribes to. Assuming all of that is true, he surmises that the conclusion MUST be that is "Obama is black."

  FOX traffics daily in paranoia, i.e., one could not listen to FOX for a week without becoming paranoid, ascribing (unsubstantiated) evils to a president who is increasingly moderate and right of center. Significantly, he has consistently been attacked on issues of his legitimacy - birth certificate, Muslim ties, socialist, etc. - unlike attacks on other presidents for various reasons. When has any other president been questioned about their birth certificate? I can't recall even one - including at least two other presidents who had complete name changes in their history (Clinton and Ford).

  No one has put forth a credible conclusion as to "why?" other than the fact that Obama is black.
