Just finished a 2,400 mile, 7 day road trip through California, Oregon and Washington. Saw overwhelming support for Romney on signs, placards and billboards throughout all three states.

None for obama. None. Not one sign, not one placard, not one billboard anywhere to be seen for obama...not a single one. Bumper stickers? 5 to 1 for Romney.

My favorite billboard? "VOTE FOR THE AMERICAN".

The emperor has no clothes (AKA - an empty chair).

more regulations - actually Obama has elimited more regs than created new
high gas prices - aside from the fact that the president has NOTHING to do with gas prices, they were higher under Bush in inflation adjusted dollars or as a percent of cost of living

sadly we have several blends of gas in this country ( around 11) ... which contribute to higher prices. Not Obama's fault but should be reviewed and reduced which would reduce price volatility.

its Oktoberfest .. your car drinks a different blend...

Special Gasoline Blends Reduce Emissions and Improve Air Quality, but Complicate Supply and Contribute to Higher Prices

Watch the movie “ETHOS” in your spare time to understand better what you actually vote for.

Abe, as usual you have no point, or rather are grasping at straws (which I realize republican's must do in order to try and make their points). Hannity and Savage, and other right wingnut 'stars' regularly imply that Obama should be strung up, doctors should be killed, etc. They go as close to the line as the law will allow to rile up their base.

Republican's are crazy enough to actually act on their lizard brain impulses. From 5 days ago:

Hmm, after writing the post above I got to thinking about the people making threats against Romney. They actually have a point.

Since Ronmey's plan (what little of it he will reveal) is eerily similar to Bush'era policy, there is a very real chance (a high probability in fact) that a Romney presidency would result in a return to the economic death spiral Bush got us into.

So the prospect of a Ronmey presidency means you will lose your job, and with the social safety net gutted, starvation and death due to lack of health care are very real possibilities. Sounds like pre-meditated self defense.

  • Disclaimer: this post is in jest against republican stupidity. I do not, nor have I ever advocated violence against anyone, and have never even been in so much as a fist fight in my 40'some odd years on this planet.

    A smashing victory for obama...just what he wanted - more government dependent's.

    Yep, because your country only spent $711bn in 2011, whereas the second biggest spender, China, forked out a whopping $143bn. Tremble in fear.

    For what things cost in China, they probably spent the equivalent of more money.

    Ob,mama wants redistribution and $8/ gallon gasoline.


    OMG = Obmma Must Go, in other words vote the muslim out.

    Don't forget to call Mark Bovine asap!!! And don't forget to cough up some dough for the book!

    You are just proving your ignorance with idiotic comments like this. The facts bear out that Obama has 'Drilled baby drill' more than Bush and the US's number one export is now gasoline. He's also taking away mineral leases from oil companies that are sitting on leases instead of actually drilling on the land and reissuing the leases to companies that will actually drill the oil.

    The only accurate word in your entire post was redistribution. Lets see, why on earth could he possibly want any redistribution. Oh yeah, this is why>

    58   gbenson   2012 Oct 24, 9:11am  

    Wrinkled, you post was gibberish. If you had proposed even a semblance of a fact or argument in there I would gladly provide a rebuttal. Is English not your first language? If it is, then your post was utterly pathetic.

    59   edvard2   2012 Oct 24, 9:11am  

    Its funny that some folks on the right are still whining about oil and how we should drill drill drill when as of today a new report came out that shows the US will soon be the BIGGEST producer of oil in the world. So how exactly are we supposed to drill more more more when we already are and we are soon to produce more of the stuff than anyone else?

    and how many of the nations have created an environment of entrepreneurship...

    where excess saving from the top actually make 1000s of new business... employing millions...

    you see boats loads of new companies being created in Denmark, Sweden or Austria.

    where is the motivation to invest ? yes.. they score well in math and science but so what ? what have they done to show for it ?

    61   gbenson   2012 Oct 24, 9:40am  

    1. BFD? All presidents observe local customs when traveling abroad.
    2. He had to. Bush pissed off dozens of them. Just cleaning up the mess left by the last guy.
    3. I agree.
    4. Every jobs bill opposed by republicans and Reps at the state level have accounted for another 2% unemployment with layoffs of state workers. If you discount these, Obama is close to his goal even with Congressional opposition that 's gotton.
    5. Show me one presidential budget that hasn't been destroyed by Congress. It's business as usual. And for what its worth the president has NOTHING to do with a budget, its Congress (entirely) responsible for developing and approving the budget.
    6. I don't get your point?
    7. Total lie. He gave the 700B to the governers (the governers requested he do this so they'd have more flexibility) For what its worth, what he did was a Republican proposed plan, now you morons are beating him over the head with it accusing him of taking the money away. Additionally Ryan's proposed budget DOES cut medicaid benefits by at least this much.
    8. We are in a depression, had he not added stimulus, unemployment would be 20'something percent. Cutting spending in a recessionary period is just plain fucking stupid, and any economist will tell you so.
    9. Nixon tried to pass similar legislation. Is Nixon a socialist marxist muslim too?

    gotta run, will have fun shredding the rest of your lies later..

    62   gbenson   2012 Oct 24, 11:27am  

    ok, I'm back. WHere was I?
    10. Even Republican's (along with the CBO) have had to concede that the spending stopped our slide into oblivion.
    11. Actions speak louder than flag pins. Do you wear one? Its a stupid issue. Obama has treated our soldiers considerably better than the past president did, and Romney would. Bush signed what GI bill??? Oh, that's right, he didn't!
    12. God Fox makes you guys stupid. Here is one he did in 2010. http://www.youtube.com/embed/Gh76oepKFc8
    13. This is just freaking idiotic. Obama is at worst a moderate republican in terms of his policy changes. He's barely to the left of Ronald Reagan. You wouldn't know a liberal if he bit you in the leg.
    14. See post 70 in this thread, or are graphs too complicated for you to understand?
    15. Bush initiated Solyndra, among LOTS of other green energy initiatives and tax credits. Grow up and get real. If we don't figure out how to get this country off oil in the next 20-30 years we are going to be royally fucked by the Muslims with all the oil.
    16. And Romney just lied about it to score political points. It's a freaking campaign season, what do you expect? These things are scheduled weeks in advance. Bush attended campaign fundraisers shortly after 9/11 and that was early in his presidency.
    17. Utter crap. Your statement is just patently false and you just pulled crap out of your ass on this one.
    18. The security experts who we pay to make those sorts of decisions. Do you really think Hillary personally decides how many soldiers to station at each of the thousands of embassies and govt buildings we have around the globe. I swear, you think like a child.
    19. Yes and somehow he ended up more American than you are.
    20. Aside from the fact that you haven't a clue what Wright was actually referring to because you have no freaking clue what its like to be in the minority and be blatantly oppressed your entire life. Should we talk about the hate filled crap that preachers that McCain and the RNC, and conservative coalition pal around with? Lastly on this one, do you really want to start holding people responsible for everything some dumbass friend or acquaintance says? Again, you are thinking like a child.
    21. So stupid a comment it doesn't deserve a response. Its just false.
    22. And why all the appointments? Because 3 years into his presidency the idiots in the Senate are still blocking up or down votes on people that Republicans admit are well qualified for the position.
    23. Name one president since 1910 that didn't do this. Try...
    24. As opposed to Bush who bankrupted multiple companies, or Romney who shutters American companies doors and moves jobs to China while wearing his 'magic underpants'. Do you even know what it takes to Govern we are not a dictatorship, we are a Republic. Obama's community involvement and ability to find compromise positions made him very well suited for the job of President. You really want to put Bush's intellect up against Obama's? I'm more than willing to go down that path with you all day long. Let's start talking about Romey's results in Mass (hint: I wouldn't have brought it up if he did a great job while gov)
    25. Sustainable development = National Security. (So says the CIA) I looked it up, it said you are an idiot.

    Please rebut... I'd love the opportunity to keep kicking your intellectual ass around the block.

    the ones with no sign are voting for Obama

    65   rooemoore   2012 Nov 3, 12:19pm  

    Romney wins the lawn sign vote. Obama wins the electoral college.

    I can live with that.

    I drove across a lot of Jesusland highways a while back. Lots of billboards about abortion and stuff, don't recall many explicitly about Obama. I like this one though:
