Is anybody tired of Obama or the Democrats?

Post Reply New Topic

I have been feeling tired of Obama and majority Democratic control. It looks like he is destroying America. It's sick that he's actually popular with Europeans. I have nothing against our overseas neighbors. It must be that those who support any contraction of government intervention are rare today. We need a new president and congress who can actually get things done. I don't know what to do, but I wish the bullsh+t about "don't worry about politics" would go away. Even my own parents tell me not to worry. They see ALL my concerns as irrational. I grew tired of them.

Remember to vote this November, send a message

We have to everything possible to stop Hilary from becoming president, if she wins we're all boned.

The republicans are arguably the lesser evil but still out of touch, like the democrats.
The tea party had promise but became too associated with big wheel republicans.

I do not want us to be boned until the end of time. I'm too young to stop living life.

Considering the almost endless lengths the Republicans would go to intervene in the lives of US citizens through legislation for mostly religious reasons (just think of Rick Santorum), why are you pointing fingers at the Democratic Party for being excessively in favour of government intervention when there is an elephant in the room?

• Herman Cain doesn't want to hire Muslims in his administration (violation of the No Religious Test clause).
• Ron Paul, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum are all against Lawrence v. Texas.
• Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and Herman Cain are against the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
• The official Republican Party platform is vehemently against Roe v. Wade, United States v. Windsor and the Establishment Clause. Hell, they even want to restrict girls from crossing state lines to get access to abortion.
• Many Republicans are continually criticizing the Supreme Court for being activist, although the three most activist practices of the court - judicial review (Marbury vs. Madison), dual incorporation (multiple opinions) and a constitutional right to privacy (again, multiple opinions, but Roe and Lawrence are the most famous) all impose severe limits on government intervention in the lives of US citizens.

I'm usually tired of a President and his hangers-on before he is even sworn in, and absolutely sick of them after four years. Why the voters repeatedly inflict the same gang of idiots on the country for a second four years is beyond my comprehension.

I am tired of both sides. But in all honesty, I am getting used to the BS on both sides, so nothing really surprises me.

Meh, let it all collapse....

It's hard when the other is for economic freedom, but most frequently want moral government intervention on social issues at any level. I still prefer true conservatism over both the Democrats and Republicans nowadays.

But, as long as this country has socially conservative voters, they are going to have to appeal to that demographic and I just have to deal with those social restrictions.

But I think that putting limits on the power of government in any case, including courts, is a better alternative to more government restriction. Oh yeah, those go beyond social issues.

As a member of a sexual minority, NO THANK YOU!! !

I just wish Obama would do something about all the civil rights violations the US government has been engaged in during the last 15 years. Bush screwed things up, and instead of continuing his legacy, Obama should instead be trying his best to reverse it. Unfortunately, due to the structure of the US government, and his own ineptitude, he hasn't been able to do f*** all to fix things, and I don't think he's even really tried.

He got the whole f*****g world riled up, he got everyone excited about "change", but you know what he's brought to the table? Nothing. For f***s sakes, he's the president of the USA, one of the most powerful men in the world! He should be able to do SOMETHING.

Now, I will honestly admit, as a Canadian I know nothing about American politics. Well, that's not entirely true; I know enough to know that I don't know much. I will say though, I like the idea of having term limits for elected officials. If we had similar term limits for our prime ministers like the Americans do for their presidents, then chances are we would no longer have to deal with any of Stephen Harper's BS. He would just be watching the hockey game or drinking a double double right now, like any other Canadian.

The following quote was attributed to an unidentified Czechoslovakian Republic leader, a country that suffered generations under the evil of Socialist / Marxist corruption. The writer clearly and succinctly described the troubling reality of America.

I didn't vote for Obama in either election, and I was really surprised he won the second time around. In an age of so-called "tolerance", it seems many who like Obama approve his policies simply because he has dark skin...and anyone who doesn't like him is automatically called a racist. Its insane, demeaning, and disgusting behavior.

Allow me to be clear: I have zero problems with any President having a different skin tone. His heritage could be African, Jamaican, Chinese, Japanese, etc....it doesn't matter to me. My main concern is whether whoever's in that office really wants America to be great again, instead of pursuing some Communist "equality" agenda where nothing's allowed to be better than anything else. I want a President who honors the actual text and history of the Constitution, instead of constantly twisting it for their own ends. The rights outlined in our founding documents were expressly said to be granted by God, not government...to the point that the original wording included the term "unalienable", meaning "beyond man's prohibition". Among those rights was one called "the pursuit of happiness", with the key word being "pursuit". No one's automatically guaranteed satisfaction in this country at the expense of everyone else, but that's exactly what most "special interest" groups are after.

Is that the Czech Republic, or the Slovak Republic (Slovakia)?

This is true, but what makes me particularly sick of the current crop of idiots is how S-T-U-P-I-D they are and how S-T-U-P-I-D the average American seems to be about this S-T-U-P-I-D-I-T-Y.

"We have to pass it to see what's in it."
- Nancy Pelosi (before passing Obamacare)

What kind of MORON is this? If you don't know what's in it, it should be rejected! This is a long-standing issue in Congress, and some lawmakers rage against it, but to no avail. Bills so long and complex that nobody has time to review and digest all of it BEFORE having to vote on it. One lawmaker had his aide review something like 1,000+ pages each and report on him on what those pages said, but when he looked closer, a provision buried in one aide's section referred to something in another aide's section, and who would ever make that connection by just looking all of it over? The whole system is overripe for abuse. One lawmaker even proposed a constitutional amendment saying all bills must be read orally into the record before a vote can be taken. That task would not only slow down the passing of new law, but it would require keeping bills down to a size that lawmakers could endure reciting on the House/Senate floors.

As much as it sounds like a "conspiracy theory," I wonder if perhaps our lawmakers are really this stupid or if they are just playing it because of how BAD things are.

Our economy is broken beyond repair. We are printing money to maintain the illusion of economic progress, but there's nothing backing it, and we could never redeem all the currency pumped into the economy. I sometimes wonder if people aren't just ushered into a dark room during their first week, shown how bad the situation is, and told that the best they can do is try and grab as much as they can for themselves and their constituents until the train runs off the cliff someday. It would certainly explain the "head-inserted-in-anus" way they seem to operate and spend money we don't have to spend.

It makes me ill just to think too long about what's wrong and what it would take to fix it. That is, if it CAN be fixed at this point.
