    the Obama campaign use them in this election. Doesn't it seem kind of contradictory and self deprecating? Ex: the feigned outrage at the "binders" remark, trying to pretend that planned parenthood offers cancer screenings etc...

  • Why is Obama flip flopping on?

    Lybia? First he wouldn't say it was a terrorist attack for almost 2 weeks. He goes on The View, Letterman etc. Now all of a sudden what do you know at the debate he said it was a terrorist attack from the beginning. Which is it...you can't have it both ways!!!

  • We don't have to identify with someone we choose to lead or treat us, much like a dentist does not have to exp?

    We don't have to identify with someone we choose to lead or treat us, much like a dentist does not have to experience a cavity to treat one nor does a doctor need to have broken one of their own bones in order to set it properly.

    They just have to be proficient at identifying the problem and have the wisdom to ameliorate the situation.

    What is this incessant obsession with bonding when it comes to politics . Save that nonsense for your personal lives when you seek out people who will blow bottle rockets up your *** ( i prefer roman candles personally ).

    Vote for what you know is right, not what you think is ( right ), what you hope is ( right ), what makes you feel good, who you would like to drink with.

  • If we paid the money into Social Security then how can it be an entitlement?

    This may not be new, but it shows us who the Thieves are!

    SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:

    THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THIS CALCULATION IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY COLLECTED THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY!!!! WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO?????????????

    This is another example of what Rick Perry called

    "TREASON in high places" !!!

    Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that's close to $220,500.

    If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the govt. pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working you'd have $892,919.98.

    If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.

    The folks inWashington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madhoff ever had.

    Entitlement my ***, I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because they borrowed the money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!!

    Congressional benefits ---- free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my social security retirement entitlements?

    We're "broke" and can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless

    In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile , and Turkey . And now Pakistan ......home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

    Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Bill ions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!

    They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when it's time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place? Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.

    Sad isn't it?

  • Tell me what part of this you don't agree with but tell me why?

    First, it is important to note that the presidential election is not about race, religion, socioeconomic level or marital status. It is about what will be best for the United States of America in the years to come. Second, track records matter. Actions speak louder than words, and so the true value of any candidate should be measured first by what he or she has done, and then by what he or she will do. Third, Americans need to learn to prioritize. Instead of hanging their hopes on a fictitious political savior who merely runs a campaign of ‘Change’ and ‘Hope’ rather than taking concrete action, they should be focusing on what really matters: money and national defense (in all of its forms). Everything else needs to take a backseat.

    Before the economic crisis began, Congressman Paul was one of the loudest voices that warned the rest of Congress of what was about to take place. As the crash approached, he was heavily criticized by the establishment media and even by many of his fellow Republicans because he would not back down from his warnings about where big government policies were leading America. When those predictions came true, however, the President and leaders in Congress used the economic chaos as an excuse to expand government intervention and power on an unprecedented level. Congressman Paul believes that excessive spending, artificial credit, and market manipulation crashed our economy, and no one should be surprised that these same policies continue to prolong the suffering for millions of Americans. His solution to this is manifold. First, he plans to veto any unbalanced budget Congress sends to his desk. Second, he will refuse to raise the debt ceiling so politicians can no longer spend recklessly. Third, he will fully audit (and then end) the Federal Reserve System, which has enabled the more than 95% reduction of what our dollar can buy and continues to create money out of thin air to finance future debt. Congressman Paul claims these policies will allow the worth of the United States Dollar in relation to foreign currency to grow and hopefully return our currency to its former strength.

    As for national defense, Congressman Paul believes that there is nothing more important than a strong United States of America. The country was strong once, and can be strong once again if steps are taken in the next term. As an Air Force veteran, Ron Paul believes national defense is the single most important responsibility the Constitution entrusts to the federal government. His plans on national defense center mainly around a simple concept: the United States is not the world’s police. Mull that over for a moment. Acting as the world’s policeman and nation-building weakens our country, puts our troops in harm’s way, and sends precious resources to other nations in the midst of an historic economic crisis at home. The way things stand, taxpayers are forced to spend billions of dollars each year to protect the borders of other countries, while Washington refuses to deal with our own border security needs. As president, Congressman Paul will make securing our borders the top national security priority and avoid unnecessary long and expensive land wars that bankrupt our country. If and when war becomes necessary, unlike some of his predecessors, he will follow the guidelines written in the Constitution, asking Congress to declare war before starting one.

    Ron Paul is the right choice for America for a number of reasons, but mainly because, despite the fact that he is a Republican, he does not particularly care for partisan politics, and instead directs his focus towards what will be best for the country that he loves, the country that he risked his life for, and the country that he plans to serve to the best of his capabilities for years to come. A vote for Ron Paul in 2012 declares a love for America and a hope to see our nation reclaim economic stability and confidence on the world’s stage.
