The Republican National Convention (RNC)

[Kirkland Laing]

I only listened to Rand Paul. I thought it was an average speech. I may go find Christie's speech later. I think both of the main party candidate are ultimately the same and ruinous for us. Maybe Romney would get to pick a good Supreme Court nominee but that is about all I'd hold my breath for if he wins.

I disagree, my main concern is getting the economy back up and running, job creation and working down the national debt. Obama had a chance do try and do this the past four years, and hasn't done shit, why should we believe he will in another 4 years. For me the choice is easy, with Romney and Ryan there's leadership and hope, with Obama we're headed for a huge economic disaster/recession, and a welfare state.
Everyone i'm talking to here in Texas wants Obama out, I think he'll be a 1 term president.

Romney is basically going to repeat the policies that led to the 2008 meltdown so how is he going to make things better, cut the deficit etc. ?

How is Obama going to make things much worse than they are now if he wins again?

The "2008 meltdown" of the economy wasn't all the fault of Bush and the Republicans, the Dems had a majority in congress at the time, so blaming it all on the Republicans or even most of it, is bullshit. And remember that little thing called 9/11? That, and the subsequent economy draining military defense of the U.S. was a big factor, 2 wars that were supported by the Dems at the time.

Tell you what, you can bash Bush, but I don't even want to think about a fucking Clown like Obama being the president/CIC during 9/11.

How did the Democrats having a majority in congress have anything to do with the 2008 meltdown? Or the government spending money on 9/11 and various wars?

How did Bush do a good job on 9/11? After hearing the country was under attack he sat and listened to a schoolkid reading a kid's book for half an hour. Then he got in his plane and flew off to Nebraska where he hid in the side of a mountain for a few days while Giuliani took chage in NY.

Sounds like you've been reading a lot of liberal media propaganda, Bush was back in the fucking Whitehouse a day or 2 after the attack, he wasn't "hiding" anywhere asshole, he was in a command post with his advisers.

BTW, Are you an American Kirkland?

It's not liberal propaganda. He flew to Nebraska and hid in a bunker in the side of a mountain. It was a command and control centre but so what, it's not like he flew to New York and took charge, he stayed out of the way and left that to the mayor.

And how did 9/11 or the government spending money on wars cause the financial meltdown?

I'm not American buy I used to live there. I was in New York on 9/11. I knew people who were killed in the attacks.
