Poll 52% of R believe it is possible that Obama

[dante1]

would like to impose Islamic Law in the US.

Now, I haven't posted for a while but this is just incredible. More than half the R's believe something this ridiculous. These are the idiots that win elections for Bush and people like him. It is so amazing that I don't even know what to say about it. I would be ashamed of my party, I really would.

I must have missed it, can you remind me what was your claim for superior intelligence? Also, about the same percent of people believe in father in heaven which is a further stretch of the imagination and as I recall you are one of them, aren't you?

Dante1,
How do you know for certain that Barack Obama is opposed to imposing Islamic law in the U.S.?

He's had plenty of exposure to Islam and unless you have a personal relationship with the president, you don't know one way or the other what he would like to do.

I'm not at all claiming that I believe he would want to impose Islamic law here in the U.S. but I can't say for certain one way or the other.

As far as President Bush, the country was doing far, far better when the republicans had full control from 2001-2006. The unemployment rate was under 5%, the Dow was over 14,000 and our country didn't have a worry in the world.

Things only began going downhill for the U.S. after the democrats took over congress in 2006 and have gotten PROGRESSIVELY (pun intended) worse since.

[DwightShrute]

For those of you who are listening to liberals propagating the lie that everything is Bush’s fault, think about this: At the time (January 3, 2007): The DOW Jones closed at 12,621; The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5 percent and the unemployment rate was 4.6 percent. George Bush’s economic policies set a record of 52 straight months of job creation. Even after the dot.com bubble burst and the September 11th attacks not to mention Bush “inheriting” a mild recession from the Clinton administration.
Under Stupid-Ass Obama and the Democrat controlled Congress we now have the DOW hovering around 11,000, and unemployment at 10% and no job creation at all. And Obama didn’t inherit anything from Bush because Retard Obama was in the Senate during the financial collapse and his Democrat Party controlled the House and the Senate at the time leading up to the current recession.
Remember, January 3, 2007 was the day that Liberal-Democrat and Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Dickhead-Democrat Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? Banking and financial services!!! Namely Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

I got something even funnier: Liberal propaganda Time Magazine rates Obama the 11th best president in history.

Bush inherited a Dow of 10,600 and left with 8,280.
Bush inherited 4% unemployment and left with 8.2% (Feb 2009).

[nasaki]

For those of you who are listening to republiKLANS propagating the lie that everything is the DEM's fault, think about this: At the time when former FANNIE & FREDDIE chief warned BUSH about subprime mortgages(2003), BUSH fired him & then signed into law the AMERICAN DREAM DOWN PAYMENT ACT that gave away on average 7,500 to low income unqualified workers. His new HUD director then added fuel to the fire by creating for the first timer ever ZERO down payment loans for unqualified low income families. Also, in 1999, 3 Republicans wrote a bill that repealed the depression era GLASS STEAGLE ACT that separated investment banks from commercials banks & attached it to an ominous spending bill that was signed into law. So now the crooks could create financial weapons of mass destruction in the form of sub prime derivatives which were responsible for 80% of the fraud that caused the markets to crash according to the FBI.

George Bush’s economic policies set a record for lowest amount of net job creation for a 2 term president. Even after the housing & banking bubbles bursted leading to the worst economic downturn since the GREAT DEPRESSION, which was caused by the same irresponsible republicKlans, Obama's economic policies saved the U.S. from turning into a 3rd World Country. The economy is slowly rebounding & has created on average 100K private sector jobs per month this year, way better than the 500K-750K per month jobs loss during clueless BUSH's last six months he was in office.

The DOW is up 37% since Obama took office & Nasdaq up nearly 100%. This guy is the modern day KING MIDAS

No they don't. That's not what the poll says and wording is everything in polling. The exact wording for that question was...

Some people have alleged that Barack Obama sympathizes with the goals of Islamic fundamentalists who want to impose Islamic law around the world. From what you know about Obama, what is your opinion of these allegations? Do you think they are…

Yep, actually I guess I should thank Bush. He ruined the economy and I snatched up 2000 of Ford at 4. Since Obama my F has skyrocketed, if it wasn't for Bush Ford would never had been that low.

Bush screwed up Clinton's surplus and the R's said that was okay. Bush started the bail outs and the R's said that was okay. Obama continued the bail outs that Bush started and he is the devil. Now all of a sudden the Rs are telling us that deficits are bad again. Wish they would make up their mind.

Yes, and the ironic truth of it is the economy almost always does better with the D's than with the R's.
This is a fact. Another fact is that the top 1% of the wealthiest always do better when the R's are in power. Another fact. Yet 50% of the people still vote R. It is amazing.

But, I must give the R's credit for one very important fact. They scream and yell that government doesn't work and when they get elected--they prove it.

Bush inherited a Dow of 10,600 and left with 8,280.
Bush inherited 4% unemployment and left with 8.2% (Feb 2009).

Golfrulz, the democrats took over full control of congress after the 2006 mid-term elections. Therefore, Bush's performance should be judged from January 2001 until November 2006 as he was virtually powerless for the last 2 years of his administration.

When the democrats took back control of both houses of congress in November 2006, the Dow was trading at 12,600 and the unemployment rate was hovering around 5%. I still remember when the unemployment rate breached 5% under Bush with many democrats verbally expressing their disgust. Those same democrats don't seem to have any problem with the unemployment rate being about double that today.

Golfrulz, if you want to place some of the blame on Bush for the meltdown starting in 2007 after the democrats took back control of congress, than that is certainly fair. However, placing all of the blame on Bush is ridiculous.

Time Magazine rates Obama the 11th best president in history.

If Time magazine only rates Obama as the 11th best president, then that is certainly NOT a compliment considering how blatantly biased Time magazine has become in favor of the democrats.

Andy, come on buddy. You know this is a stretch. Please, let's not get crazy. I can understand Dwight the thief believing this but not you.

Dante, I have a great amount of respect for Dwight and consider him to be quite honorable. I'm not sure why you are calling him a thief? As far as Obama is concerned, I only know what everyone else knows:

He had considerable exposure to Islam when he was a young child (I believe I remember reading that he attended an Islamic school in Indonesia)

Obama's father was Muslim (I'm not sure to what extreme)

Obama seems to have a great deal of compassion for Islam (far more compassion than Islam has ever showed towards the United States of America)

With all that being said, Obama has done nothing to date that leads me to believe that he wants to impose Islamic law in the U.S. Conservatives like myself have a pretty long list of things that we don't like about President Obama and we don't need to be making up things like this to get our point across. We have enough ammo against him as it is.

Yep, actually I guess I should thank Bush. He ruined the economy and I snatched up 2000 of Ford at 4. Since Obama my F has skyrocketed, if it wasn't for Bush Ford would never had been that low.

Bush screwed up Clinton's surplus and the R's said that was okay. Bush started the bail outs and the R's said that was okay. Obama continued the bail outs that Bush started and he is the devil. Now all of a sudden the Rs are telling us that deficits are bad again. Wish they would make up their mind.

You were able to buy Ford at $4/share (actually you could have bought Ford for as low as $1/share) due to the financial meltdown of which the democrats deserve far more of the blame than the republicans.

The democrats have been pushing banks to increase lending to low income/minorities dating back to the Carter administration and making loans to people who could not possibly afford to pay them back is what caused the financial meltdown which crippled the economy. While Bush agreed somewhat with the democrats about the alleged benefits of increased low income home ownership, it was a democratic pet project for decades.

Here's a link that sums everything up (I realize it was written by Thomas Sowell who is a conservative and a strong supporter of President Bush but I believe everything he is saying is 100% accurate):

http://patriotpost.us/opinion/thomas-sowell/2010/10/21/is-barney-frank/

I agree that republicans are doing an about face when it comes to deficits but aren't liberals doing the exact same thing? When Bush and congressional republicans were piling up the deficit, democrats (along with fiscal conservatives like myself) were very critical of it. Now that Obama and congressional democrats are overspending at a rate that puts the Bush administration to shame, fiscal conservatives like myself along with the tea party are once again outraged but the liberal democratic objection to massive deficit spending has completely disappeared.

Liberals love to say how Obama's deficit spending is acceptable because they are under the ridiculous notion that we need to spend our way out of this mess which was caused by excessive government spending in the first place. When the Bush team overspent, the democrats considered it wasteful unnecessary government waste. When the Obama team overspends at a much greater rate, the democrats consider it 100% necessary. You just can't have it both ways. I was critical of Bush when he was overspending and am just as critical of Obama. My criticism of extreme deficit spending is consistent regardless of which party does it and yours should be too.

Yes, and the ironic truth of it is the economy almost always does better with the D's than with the R's.
This is a fact. Another fact is that the top 1% of the wealthiest always do better when the R's are in power. Another fact. Yet 50% of the people still vote R. It is amazing.

Dante, none of this is really accurate as you are only making comparisions based on which party controls the White House. When you make comparisions based on which party controls congress, if you are able to evaluate the findings free of political bias, you'll find that the opposite is true and the economy does far better under a republican congress as opposed to a democratic congress.

The last 10 years have driven one all important point home:
Our government runs like shit when one party has full control of all 3 branches of government. I was confident that if given the chance, the republicans would do an incredible job if given full power. I can admit I was badly mistaken and I lost a great deal of respect for the GOP. However, the only thing that is worse than the republicans having all the power is when the democrats do.

Lets all get together and figure out a way to add an amendment to the constitution FORBIDDING one party to ever have full control of all 3 branches of government ever again.

Remember the last 6 years of the Clinton administration? Times were good and our country ran like a Ferrari that gets 50 miles to the gallon. The republicans kept Clinton in check and Clinton kept the republican congress in check as well. We had a government surplus and both republicans and democrats alike seemed happy with the way our government was being run.

Dante, your democratic party can have the White House from now till eternity as far as I"m concerned as long as there is a republican congress to keep the democratic president in line. Have a good weekend.

[Z_Wipf]

Andy. I wish we could do away with party lines in congress. Making it happen is a tough task though

[andywend]

Z, I don't know if you know this story. I caught Dwightie many months ago when he was attempting to pass off material as his own. Caught red handed and yet he still tried to wiggle his way out of it.

Dante, I remember this and Dwight NEVER said that he was the author of the material. He just failed to mention that somebody else wrote it.

We all copy and paste things from time to time and the majority of people don't make it a point to give credit for the material to the person who wrote it.

Now if you have proof that Dwight specifially took credit for material which he did not write, that would be a different story but that is not what happened.

WILL YOU QUIT COPYING AND PASTING YOU MINDLESS ZOMBIE!?
How many times do I have to catch you doing this before you post a SINGLE thought of your own?
For those of you out of the loop. http://obamaisabitch.wordpress.com/2010/10/24/ . He's copying word for word

Z Wipf, what part of Dwight's copy and paste is untrue? Perhaps you are lashing out at Dwight because the material he is copying and pasting proves his point and discredits yours?

Here are the facts which democrats seem to have a tough time explaining:
Less than 2 short years ago, the voters were so outraged with the republicans that they went on an anything but (R) spree and gave the White House to a democrat who was extremely short on experience and also gave the democrats filibuster proof majorities in the house and senate. The voters spoke loudly and I have no doubt that democrats were proud of the electorate after the 2008 presidential election.

Fast forward 2 years and these same voters are now on an anything but (D) spree. While liberals are trying to make people believe this election is about voting out incumbents and giving fresh faces a chance, this election is really about voting out DEMOCRATIC incumbents.

Why have the voters who so overwhelmingly supported the democrats 2 years ago are doing a complete about-face and want to vote out every democratic in sight? Liberals might come up with an answer saying its a mid-term election and the majority normally loses seats during mid-term elections and that would be true. However, considering the momentum the democrats had in 2008 coupled with the fact that the democrats are looking at losses of about 65-70 seats in the house, you just can't blame all of this on the election being a mid-term election.

The only logical explanation as to why the voters are about to do an 180 degree about face is because they strongly disagree with the direction that Barack Obama and the democratic congress is taking our country. Our country is being run by Barack Obama in the White House, Nancy Pelosi in the house and Harry Reid in the senate. All 3 of these individuals are die-hard extreme liberals and the United States of America is NOT an extreme left country.

Instead of trying to govern from the center, these 3 individuals have absolutely NO GIVE OR COMPROMISE in them at all. They took something as important as the 2700 page ObamaCare bill and hammered the whole thing out behind closed doors with nary a republican in sight even though they KNEW that the majority of Americans were dead set opposed to it.

After they passed this atrocity, Stony Hoyer has the nerve to step up to the microphone and act shocked that the American people were upset about their elected representatives passing something they so strongly opposed. To make matters worse, Pelosi/Reid/Obama continue to tell us how great ObamaCare will be for all of us but made sure to exempt themselves and their loved ones from having to participate in it.

Z_Wipf/Dante/HotDiggity/Golfrulz, I would like to hear your explanations as to why you believe the voters have done such an about face in such a short period of time? All of you seem to be reasonably minded individuals and am interested in hearing your take as to why this upcoming mid-term election is looking like such a disaster for the democratic party.

i think a lot of the voters are swayed by various factors but # 1 being the economy....it aint good... however...i don't see any improvement unless a general consensus between reps and dems comes into play...we had that under clinton....but as we all know....the big O aint no clinton.

[dante1]

Andy, I have some respect for you but none for Dwightie, you are incorrect he did attempt to take credit when he kept repeating this is what "I" wrote. If you check it out you will discover this, no buddy he is a phony and a thief. He has no credibility, he simply parrots talking points. He has absolutely no knowledge about the political history of this country--none. He attempts to sound intelligent by pasting, if you check back many months you will find that a huge number of his posts are pastes and he never gives credit or seldom does.

I am already sick of the political forum. I only do it for a break and some entertainment. I get some people so angry they can't even compose an intelligent sentence. Check out the past day or two. Some really stupid comments.
