And we all know how allergic you are to "intellectualism". No need to think things through, just go with what your "gut", or better yet your tribal leaders, tell you to think. Here's a "head's-up" for you, Ron. It's called "delayed gratification". It's called "planning for the future". Some people realize that you have to work hard, and make some sacrifices now, to get something you want down the road. Some of us, for example, spent considerable time obtaining an education, so that later we could have a career that provides for both a decent income and some measure of stimulation/challenge/satisfaction. Others drop out of school to take a low-paying crap job so they can buy a fast car. The idea that you have to put up with some pain in the near term to get a payoff later may be novel to you, Ron, but trust me it works. What I want is a country that is on a sound financial footing, that provides essential services for people, and that facilitates measures that are necessary for long-term competitiveness on a global stage. That would be my payoff for the pain of higher taxes. Politicians in general, but especially Republicans, have for many years been selling snake oil that promises all manner of government-provided goodies, and "someone else" will pay for it. The poor expect the rich to pay, and the rich expect the poor to pay, so the guy in the middle ends up paying some, but mostly nobody pays. Only a moron buys into the mantra that nothing the government does is worthwhile. Only a moron buys into the idea that no-body has to pay for it. Only a moron buys into the idea that the wealthy are overtaxed, and if their burden were only lessened they would use all that money and more to hire more people. Only a moron believes that doing whatever feels good at the moment, without any thought to the long-term future, will automatically lead to the best possible outcome. A habit of going with what "feels good" at the moment, without thought to the longer term, tends to lead to things like addiction. Don't be a moron. Don Don't be defensive. I am trying to understand you, as well as the other Liberal skydivers, not what you think. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Under BHO, I expect my taxes will increase. However, I also think.... Don So, an increase in taxes is your payoff and for you that is a positive benefit.

A typical Liberal argument by Maher, it's not my fault, look at the semantics. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

As I have stated before, unlike the Liberals I am not looking for a messiah. I have one in Christ Jesus. I want the mechanic who can fix it. BHO has proven he has no clue. And then, there are those pesky hot button issues. What is your personal payoff for supporting BHO? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

??? I wonder what you and the other Liberals receive as a personal payoff for supporting BHO? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

My sentiments exactly, thanks for sharing yours. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Those of us who actually study Scripture can tell the difference. Obama for the masses. Hmmm indeed, could it be Liberal addiction. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Yeah, it was my poor attempt to be humorous as well. It does not matter so much where a person came from or what they did in the past. What matters is where they are going. Obama is always headed on the path of socialism and I am against that ideology. The best guidance I know is to vote the path that supports the Bible.

As a recovering alcoholic, just one more reason not to vote for him. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Or you could just HAVE enough nuclear weapons to wipe EVERY nation off the face of the Earth, and wonder why other nations don't like you. Yeah, well I can't recall the U.S. threatening to wipe another nation off the map because our religious leaders don't like them. But I'm sure you think it's just fine for religious nutters living in the 15th century to have nuclear weapons and law abiding citizens have their guns taken away. That ringing sound is the hammer hitting the head of the nail. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

You have to choose a side. Otherwise, all the other guys will know you are a pussy. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I am not at all concerned. My Father owns all the gold and all the silver and the cattle of a thousand hills. He will supply all my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Romney/Ryan know how to fix the economy. More and more people are realizing that fact. They will win in November. Most of the Americans are not on welfare and they will elect them Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Feeling has nothing to do with this example. Social Security is a return on investment based on a contractual agreement with the U.S. Government.

What makes me so sad is that you and the other liberals in this forum actually believe that Romney is not good for the economy in America. You tout the benefits of education. Then you deny the worth of Romney's education and experience. Your volition makes no sense to me. You support a man with no business experience, has a corrupted administration, seeks advice from people with anti-American ideologies, desires to reduce the power of the U.S. in the world, wants increase the size of the servant class and has clearly demonstrated a serious lack of leadership quality. If BHO is re-elected the American dream is over. America will be defined as a land of lost opportunity. More and more people will simply give up, as the numbers on the unemployment records indicate. More and more people will see themselves as victims. Your ability to enjoy skydiving and other recreation will be reduced due to the lack of disposable income. The quality of your lifestyle will be diminished. Maybe that is what half of the Americans want, the desire to be a gross underachiever with the Bart Simpson mentality. I support and believe in the other half. I believe if we turn the economy around and increase disposable income we will regain what we have lost.

The fact that you think they are part of the 47% that will vote for BHO regardless is beyond remarkable. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

You all now so far out in left field you are making asinine statements. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Right on target. Romney needs the swing voters. The 47% piglets will continue to suckle the government sow, no matter what. He is discussing how to win the election not how to subsidize genocide. The 47% piglets you refer to are - look in the mirror, genius. Romney is talking about YOU!! You are suckling the government teat. Social Security and Medicare, by your own admission. So much for your right wing beliefs... you are happy to take the bennies when they come to you. You don't want the same bennies to go to other folks, especially the black and brown ones. How much was your income tax bill for 2011? Ignorance can be corrected. Stupidity cannot. Well, just as I explained above, I paid into that system with payroll deductions.

Does he hide his mouth as he talks about non partisan anything? No, he is conservative, like me, not Republican. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

That statement makes no sense to me. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Have you renounced that social security and medicare yet, Ron? Don No, I paid for those through payroll deductions. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

As stupid as when BHO was caught telling Vladimir Putin he will have more flexibility when he is reelected. That alone is reason enough to make him disqualified.

I would to, but if CNN keeps shedding viewers and Beck keeps adding...well you do the math. Don nothing I could say would change you attitude about Beck, hell like I said I don't watch the man, never have but in the end there is a reason that Beck has a show, that Fox has an fairly large viewership. It's easy to just say anyone that watched Fox is dumb (or Beck I guess) the real question is why? The "other side" isn't just full of dumb people - right or left. There is a big difference between GB's morning radio show and his TV program. The former is more entertainment based on the news. The Blaze TV is analytical. So far his analyses and predictions have been accurate. His message is, dark days ahead and we need to start working together in a noinpartisan effort to make it through.
