Spreading the wealth so everything is "fair" for others looking into starting a small business is just plain dumb. Obama believes that the government has the ability to resolve our problems while Romney believes in private enterprises and has distrust in government intervention. Obama favors universal access to health care and associated benefits as a critical expansion of the welfare state. Its so irritating to hear Obama say the rich need to be taxed a little bit more to spread the wealth around. Unemployment is only bad because banks don't lend as much since 2008's crisis, trillions of dollars are just sitting around doing nothing within banks and there's idle workers. If you aren't building anything than your SCVs and the workers inside your barrackses and factories will be idle and not getting pay checks. Those are just my 2 cents, Obama is going to drag this recession on for another 4 years. employment is bad because banks aren't lending and obama is dragging on a recession we are no longer in. i'm not sure where you are getting these ideas but they are retarded and you don't have a clue. you should probably do a little bit of research independent of where ever you are getting your ridiculous ideas from. | ||

Don't know why I expect anything substantial from you, but I'll keep hoping you shape up. Romney is winning in all of the polls, so they clearly didn't go with what it is projected to be. | ||

If you understood your own political system, you would post polls related to the electoral college, the only thing that fucking matters. The same site you just used as a source has a list of battleground states, in which Obama is leading in: Ohio, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Minnesota, and is tied in Virginia. You are so intellectually dishonest, it is unreal. That, or you enjoy fooling yourself into finding "facts" to perpetuate your ridiculous beliefs. | ||

Nevada Obama +4 or +2 depending on the poll. Wisdconsin Obama +2 and lastly New Hampshire Obama +9. Those numbers alone put him over 270 so thats where simulations are coming from. | ||

Such as you would be expected to call the fire department if you see a fire in an occupied house. Sure. However, loaning your womb to a fetus for nine months incurs a potentially significant cost to yourself, so it belongs in the same category as rushing into a burning building, rather than calling the fire department. | ||

Well if both republicans and democrats have suffered defeats because of the college and not the popular vote in 2 of the last 4 elections than maybe they can work together to get rid of the stupid thing. Edit: Oops I quoted wrong person. | ||

I mean, if you aggregate the popular vote totals their states indicate, I *think* Obama comes out on top, and if you let the two values meet in the middle the race is virtually tied or Obama advantage. Edit: That reminds me, I find it pretty gratifying Gallup is normalizing day by day from being an outlier. Wonder how far it'll go. | ||

Triple Edit: I use this front page, usually. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/ O thats a nice site, thx for link. Polls in usa say little , the usa has a district system where the winner takes all. Polls dont take this into account,or do they? To get a good indication you should look at the odds betting agencys have. I think they are way more reliable then the polls (after all:monney is on the line) If understand the site correctly they have obama at 60% favourable? (the intrade odds figure) | ||

The 9th amendment was never intended to grand infinite powers to judges. You are taking a bill of rights designed to limit federal power and using that as justification for the federal government destroying state laws (often supported by majorities of both men and women of that state) prohibiting abortion. Most legal scholars will not say the 9th amendment is a blank check to give judges the power to invent rights and enforce them or that it is a source of new rights. You're missing the point completely. My argument is that the right to bodily autonomy is consistent with the rest of the Constitution as well as our modern understanding of the law. Let me ask you this again since you dodged the question. Do you think do you think it would be Constitutionally permissable for the government to force people to donate blood/marrow/organs to save other people's lives? Or would you consider that a violation of people's rights? Would it be "judicial activism" to find that the government forcing people to donate body parts is unconstitutional? Is that an "opinion" rather than a "right? Please confirm whether you're batshit insane or explain the reason for your inconsistency before we continue this conversation.

Is the decision consistent with the Constitution and our understanding of the law? Would the Court then consider it acceptable for the governemtn to force people to donate body parts? | ||

Reducing the deficit, just a little at a time. Still don't see any sort of plan from Romney, and while this normally would just be some run of the mill thing, I find it ironic that he's supposed to "save" our economy (that's consistently showing improvement already) while pushing for stuff like this. Then again, front page of reddit is where I found this beauty. HAVE AT HER! | ||
