Obama on health care reform.

The man is a complete and utter fucking moron. 2012 cannot come soon enough.

Have you been watching his poll numbers?

I know the MSM is ignoring them, but the tea parties increased in size during the 4th. Some by as much as ten times.

Foreign countries are treating him like shit, and are obviously not afraid of him or even respect him.

His own party is starting to turn on him (Conservative and Moderate Dems).

Obama's novelty has worn off.

Either he doesn't win re-election or the Dems get destroyed in Congress.

Maybe. A fucked up gov't run by Democrats or Republicans ... all seems pretty much the same to me. There needs to be an alternative. Otherwise, you may as well fucking roll dice w\ the two parties we currently got.

If a legit third party can't flourish right about now, I don't fucking know what it'll take. If they can't land a spot in a nat'l televised debate soon, then we're locked in a cycle of mediocrity of decreasing quality.

So Obama's poll numbers are in the tank. That means Jack and Squat. The only poll numbers that matter are the electoral college results in November of 2012.

Who's gonna run against him? Palin? The press will destroy her.

Heard a rumor of Palin forming a new conservative party that was actually conservative.

She might just get the petition numbers to pull it off and get the new party on the ballots, though that will mean little at election time. Probably.

I wouldn't vote for her if you paid me. In beer. Cases of beer.

That's ok. I plan on forming a competitor to ACORN, and voting twice.

I don't believe that for a second. Oh, I'm sure it may be true that she's splitting away, but there will be nothing conservative about it. It'll be straight up Christian Tight-Ass Party all the way.

Conservative means fewer laws and smaller government, not "We hate butt pirates"

I never got that zealot christian vibe from her. I just got it from the lefties applying it to her. And everyone else Republican.

Maybe you're right, I never paid too much attention to her after hearing a bunch of stuff about God come out of her mouth. Maybe it was just her parroting stuff she didn't believe in order to court the Christian vote.

I'll give her new party platform an honest read. If it's not full of fundamentalist crap that means expanding government's control over the individual, then I'll join up.

The depth of your capacity for forgiveness is inspiring.

The scientific method hasn't changed since the 70's.

Alright, his cabinet is getting in the neighbourhood of the first Dubyah administration w\ Ashcroft. They're getting to be that dense.

I simply can't fathom how they're trying to tie in economic recovery to health care reform. How the fuck is something that will at least DOUBLE the size of the gov't going to save money?

This sums up his first 6 months pretty well:
Obama won, which means you can’t disagree with him or his cronies.

His landslide victory (52%) gives him the right–no, the mandate–to silence dissent as he works to save us all from the best health care system in the world, from our coveted currency, from the hurtful disapproval of the world’s dictators, from our undeserved Bill of Rights, and from the tyranny of oil.

It's never been about saving money. Europe's proven that time and time again with their healthcare reform.

It's about power and control. When you can print your own money, there's no power in money, so they're left with controlling our lives to get that rush.
