Let's also not forget Hoover's role after WWII for Truman in Europe. He was a great humanitarian and was widely recognized for it. http://www.history.com/this-day-in-...rt-hoover-for-aiding-post-wwii-reconstruction
instead of incessantly attacking obama, can anyone tell me why romney is the man for the job? is this the gop strategy? and all the sheep are just following their lead?
A fair question, but not the right one, IMO. If you're not satisfied with the status quo, making a change gives you hope the status quo will change as well. The issues with the status quo are numerous and have been discussed quite a bit here. However, if you say something like "45M people need food stamps now" and that it's a reflection of how the govt. is managed, you're attacking obama.
not directed at you, although you do post the occasional anti obama meme for laughs its fine to be against obama, just wondering if any of you are actually pro romney
Watching the RNC, I thought that most of the speakers who came before Romney would be a better candidate and better president than he.
i think that is the general consensus...so wtf is the deal with that? is it his hundreds of millions of dollars? the fact that bain owns clear channel? because...blecht if the gop gave me someone worth voting for i would have, but this is just pointless
I actually had high hopes for Obama and felt we needed a change in direction. Unfortunately, Obama has been a monumental failure. Therefore, I think another change in direction is warranted. As for Romney, I doubt he'll do much. He doesn't generate much hope, if any, in me.
im kinda burnt out on "hey this guy sucks, lets put the other party in power" every few years, it almost seems designed to be that way, thereby never accomplishing anything and on and on we march into the abyss
2nd terms aren't usually that great anyhow when the prez becomes a lame duck, congress can push him around more. So presidents tend to focus on foreign policy stuff. Like maybe trying to earn that Nobel Peace Prize.
And this tells me what I discovered many years ago- no one political party has the answers. The best answers come when the two parties work together and compromise for the sake of the people.
Irrelevant. When I said Hoover was widely despised (for not resisting the Depression, which covered almost all of his 4 years, the way Roosevelt did with creative programs), I meant despised by the people, not by a few charitable people at the top who felt sorry for him.
Trimming the size and scope of the Federal Government Getting rid of Obamacare Lessening regulations on businesses A stronger dollar through appointing a new Fed chair Ending the sequestration cuts on defense Reforming tax policy, lowering rates for all while getting rid of loopholes Actually putting someone in charge of the executive who knows how to get rid of waste in a bureaucracy Treating our friends like friends and treating our enemies like enemies. I could go on and on and on and on, but that should be sufficient. President Obama has made this election a very easy choice for me.
High-Fucking-Larious that you think the Republicans have any desire to do this. With Romneycare? Oops. Yep, because Wall Street sure knows how to regulate itself. I have no idea what you think this is going to do, but okay. Some small government. Yeah. Chance in hell of happening? None. Rich will get loopholes while middle class and poor get fucked. Romney can't buy departments of the government and then spin them off via bankruptcy. He's out of his league. More Fox News propagandic bullshit. I'm glad you live in Oregon, where your vote will be meaningless. EDIT: If you are currently living in Colorado, your vote might matter. I suppose... it's your right to vote as you see fit. I will do the same.
