I'm not taking the bait. Probably wise to leave politics off this forum as much as possible. But have fun. I'll check in and watch.

Hey Andrew. How are you my old friend?

GREAT to see you again brother!

What have we here, a whole group of whining little girls who are afraid to mix it a bit on the political end...

I'm a Tea Party man myself.

So that puts me as a right wing, gun carrying, God loving American who bleeds red white and blue. I served 6 years for this country and love it when people ask my opinion.

I hope that Jan- 2102 is the end of an ERROR!

We need our country back in the hands of the people who pay the bills. The tax payer!

Great thread Andrew!

BTW... Vegas odds have it much closer!

It's not intended for you, son; but it's very cute you think so.

Led, my good man!

I'm very well. How are you? If you've got anything cooking, please email over to me for a read.

Absolutely love hearing others' opinions, too - good healthy debate is what your 6 years were spent fighting for. You should pop a picture up of you in your fatigues if you get chance!

I've been fantastic brother!

I've got one I'm writing right now but won't be done for a few. Will give you a shout when it is.

How about you? Something up here you would like for me to have a go at?

Opinions!

You nailed it Andrew. Everyone seems as though if you (for some reason) are not completely in line with everything the media is churning out, then you are a fucking loon.

I'm personally sick of it!

No, I don't think every illegal immigrant should be automatically given the rights that Americans have fought and died for.

No, I don't support same sex marriage.

No, I don't think we should bankrupt our country by handing out free EVERYTHING to lazy none working fuckers who defraud the system.

Yes, I do think it's the best country on earth.

And YES! If you do work your as$ off, you can make something of yourself here.

I'm just very tired of all of the self entitlement going around that says, give me what I want and give me what you have.

FUCK THAT!!!

Go out and work for it like I do!

Thats the AMERICAN WAY!!!

Good going!  

I can just see the unpaid moderators braising themselves. At least in the past, all of these threads have all turned ugly fast. Hope you guys keep it civil.

Cheers!

Don't like either of 'em tooooo much.

If I have to see one of them on television for the next four years, I'd prefer Obama.  In my limited experience watching either of them, I've found Obama to be better spoken and generally possessed of more rational views.  Kind of a Clinton, I think -- he might be a schmuck, but at least he's a charming one.  Or maybe that's worse.  

Romney seems to me to be driven by ideology to a greater degree than is Obama.  I'm not a big fan of that.  In fact I'd be happy to say I think a couple of Romney's opinions are unforgivably stupid.  I guess my dislike of Romney puts me in Obama's corner.  If nothing else, his firm belief in American exceptionalism is, I think, a danger, until such time as America manages to put together a democracy worth spreading.

Plus, it might be completely irrational, but it always does warm my cockles to see a brother in the White House.

Let's burn up 700 bullion on Military spending a year, while our closest competitor, China, spends 200 billion -- And, at the same time, diminish the work force and outsource.  We can cut our military spending in half, and still beat our closest competitor.  Think of how much that money could do toward paying down our debt and getting things back in order.  Think about year after year what that money could do for our economy, job growth and health care benefits and Social securities.  It's lunacy, our spending is outta control -- And for what?  Why?  When is the last time America was truly attacked?  When was the last time Iran ever attacked another country?  

I'll tell you when -- Over 100 years ago.  We do it on a daily basis.

The Obama and Romney administrations are both disastrous, do anything but good for this country, administrations I can possibly imagine -- Oh, wait, then there was Bush.   Obama sends drones in, kills countless people and he wins Nobel PEACE prizes... Really?  Romney is worth 300 million dollars, owns 10 mansions and 37 cars and he calls himself a conservative... Really?  Fuckin' pathetic crooks we pick to run this country.

Neither of these two parties will ever get anything substantial done in this country... They're too worried about what Iran "might" be doing to look at what our own people are doing -- Namely the rich bastard crooks in the federal reserve who keep printing money and handing it over to other rich assholes on wall street.
