I'm not very political, but in the up coming election, I will be supporting Obama. Only because the hate and evil poring out of the Tea Party-Republican base has got me scared to death. I really want Obama to go after the Tea Party-Republicans. He needs to leave the nice guy act behind, and come hard on those people. It's the only thing they understand. He needs to make it clear to the average American that these people are willing to burn the country to the ground in order to get what they want. Obama needs to call out the obstructionists, the economic anarchists, and the stone cold racists. He needs to expose their true motivations and shine a light on their puppeteering of the Republican candidates. The Tea Party started this and now Obama must beat them at their own game.
You think emotionally and you don't see the bigger picture. which is why you and people like you do more harm than good.
Their is no politics without a little emotion. If someone doesn't feel emotional about their ideology then what's the point? One can have an emotional reaction to something (tea-party shenanigans) and still be mindful of big picture politics.
The sick & twisted fantasy world they're trying to convince people exists has no basis in the reality of the "big picture". It's not "thinking emotionally" to state the truth about the damage the Tea Party minded fools are currently doing & would do to this country if they had the chance. They're already out of control as it is, & somebody needs to take a stand. There's a great deal more of that "emotional thinking" going on with them than there is with the folks who don't buy into their bullshit. For you to throw that line at folks is silly. People should be passionate about their beliefs & should be willing to stand up for them. The Tea Party psychos & the crazy people who share their jacked up thinking need to go back to the hell they came from.
Don't look for detailed explanation and analysis from Velkrum. He regurgitates only those talking points he can remember from Limbaugh/Glenn Beck. He shot his load once again and he's ghost.:smt095
Obama's job Bill will certainly enlighten the masses fooled. The Tea party bully-scared their way into Congress and The Senate with the promise of "jobs! and, Saving America!"....so when Obama presents the Bill for them to approve it...they stall, find fault, gag. Transparency at its finest.
My statement has less to do with the tea party and more to do about people who vote without taking a candidates history and political stance in to account.
Again, generalities and assumptions, talking down to your audience because obviously you can't articulate your point of view. The OP explained why he's voting for Obama, because it's a NO vote against the Tea Party and what they stand for.
People vote for all kind of reasons. Sometimes people vote for one person because they don't like the politics of the other person. I am not apologetic in my stance, that I am for Obama because he is a better choice then the competition.
So basically you were telling the OP that's what he was doing when you don't know that to be the case. It's curious how you only seem to have that opinion of people whose views are not the same as yours. If another person came along with the same level of devotion to that crazy old fart you think is so great, questioning whether or not they'd taken his history & political stances into account would probably never even occur to you.
Don't get me wrong Thump, your heart is in the right place just like everyone else, I just think it would be wise to learn about who your voting for before closing the deal.
I put that disclaimer out there, to emphasize that in normal circumstances I wouldn't be as fired up about a political campaign. I'm usually one of the politically neutral people who isn't tied to any one political ideology.
