    I assume this has to do with keeping an electric fence at the border?

    I'm not sure why ensuring that people don't come here illegaly is suddenly A Bad Thing(TM).

    Just because people don't like illegal immigration doesn't mean they have to like putting up an electric border fence, dude.
  • I'm not advocating the electric fence, but a lot of people seem to want NO form of border control at all.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    Then find out whether the person who made the comment dissing the electric fence actually has that opinion, before criticizing them with the assumption that they want no border control at all.
  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Though really, legalizing immigration would make that a lot easier.

    Though it's largely academic, what with how most of the immigrants started heading back the other way and all.
  • MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    I have never met an actual person who wants no border control.

    But forgive me for thinking someone who wants to cross an arbitrary line so they can have a better life doesn't deserve to be fried to death.

    @INUH: So, you're in Alabama, what do you think of the new anti-illegal-immigration law there?
  • Didn't one of them push for a regressive or flat tax rate?
  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    ^^Well, unless there's a really new one I've not yet heard of, I'm glad large portions of it got thrown out by the supreme court.
  • Obama's a wildcard, though. A vote for him is a vote for whatever he feels like doing in a few years, and this term has shown that it will have nothing to do with anything he says during the campaign.

    I can agree with that latter clause--I know politicians make promises they don't intend to keep or can't, but his human rights track record is an exception even by those terms. But the opposite party in Congress has repeatedly stated their number one goal is making sure he's a one term president. So 1) that's quite an uphill battle and 2) considering all that said opposite party has done, voting out of spite seems as good a reason as any.

    Washington's farewell address warned that everything would go to shit if we ever created parties. And...well, here we are...ugh.

    The bit about avoiding foreign entanglements would have been good to keep in mind too.

    I am aware that politicians make promises they can't keep.  This is standard fare.

    I simply judge which party is more likely to result in legislation and governance of the sort that I prefer.

    Let's see:
    * climate change: While there isn't much agreement on what to do about it, Democrats generally agree that anthropogenic climate change is happening.  Republicans...well, a damn lot of them don't even agree that it's happening, or anthropogenic, and are not even interested in a discussion about solutions.
    * economy: Democrats on par seem to demonstrate an understanding that you need demand for an economy to work.  As for Republicans, well, I can't say I'm sure they don't understand it, but they don't demonstrate that understanding very well; instead, the ones that are in the House at least seem to be more interested in politicking and agenda-pushing, and constantly talk about how taxes are killing businesses and jobs, without mentioning how lack of demand is killing businesses and jobs.

    ...yeah, unless there's major suck in the Democratic candidate for a given position, I'm voting for the Democrat.  YMMV.
  • So those are who we should hope will lose.
  • I actually want a Repub to win.

    So they can completely destroy America, and thereby ensure that we will never vote for a Repub again.
  • One foot in front of the other, every day.
    That's kinda sorta been done. Obama has spent the last few years picking up after the mess of the previous administration, for instance.
  • *cough* Reagan *cough*

    To be honest, I used to entertain such a notion in regards to Ron Paul and whatever stooge US libertarians were supporting, but then I remembered confirmation bias.

  • That didn't stop the Repubs from actively blaming the democrats for the recession and saying that Bush didn't do it even though it's blatantly fucking obvious that he did
  • And thus you just refuted your own point.

    ^^ It sure didn't.

    ^ Yep.
  • Abyss: Which is why we need something that utterly ANNIHILATES the credibility of the Republicans.
  • MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    If Bush and the radical Tea Party didn't already, nothing will.
  • Then WTF are we supposed to do?

    Force a civil war?
  • MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
  • You can change. You can.

    Well my dad supports Cain on the basis that he apparently started out poor, has his own business, and has a masters degree

    Hey everyone, I figured out what happened with Cain and that third woman accusing him of sexual misconduct.

    So there was this one time during a National Restaurant Association conference, after a whole day's worth of events, she went back to her hotel room.  She undressed and then got into the shower.  All this time, though, Cain was hiding behind her bed, beneath the covers.

    After she got into the shower stall, she obliviously showered for about five minutes, singing to herself, until Cain opened the bathroom door, which she'd left unlocked because she was the only one staying in the room.

    She heard this, and started to panic.  Why the heck was there someone trying to get into her shower stall?  A rapist?  The police?  Who?

    Then Cain pulled opened the door to her shower stall.  She outright SCREAMED.  Then both of them got on the floor, and everybody walked the dinosaur.
