Joss Whedon - Vote Prez for Zombie Apocalypse
I've gone 8 years without having to put anyone on ignore, but with a month to go, I've finally decided it needs to be done.

Just be warned, if you have a lovable side friend, who, while is not an important part of your life, is incredibly funny and relatable there is a good chance that they will die in order to push you on to your future dream.
Just forewarning everyone
Thought for the day:

Please tell me more about how Mitt Romney is detached and yet Obama believes in a fixed pie myth. Then feel free to explain why you think an effective cap on earnings is any different from taxing job creators out of the country. Finally, please tell me how our economy will be sustainable as entitled idealists use social rhetoric to morph us into a welfare state during record high deficits.
Spoiler alert: Keynesian economics is irresponsible and destructive and Ronald Reagan is probably rolling over in his grave right now. I guess he won the Cold War and created the most economic growth in recent history (by decreasing regulations, cutting taxes and shrinking the government I might add) so that people like you could hand the reigns of our country over to the very socialist fallacies Reagan and the rest of our nation fought against and triumphed over. But it's alright, I get you. Some guy from Star Trek or something made a funny zombie joke on Youtube. Better vote Democrat. |
The S&P has risen 12.1% per year under Dems since 1900 and just 5.4% under Reps. Since 1949 the GDP has grown 4.2 % under Dems and just 2.6 under Reps. Corporate profits? 10.5 under Dems, 8.9 under Reps. From 1983 to 2001 the economy added nearly 44 million jobs..that streak ended in 2001. Gee who took office then? GW! He cut taxes, increased spending and grew the national debt and left with the greatest financial crisis since the great depression.
Since Obama took office stocks have returned to 12.4 % returns annually in line with S&P performance. Under Bush corporate earnings grew 14.2%, under Obama, 51.8 %. For a Socialist Muslim Godless baby killer he seems to do well at making money.

Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
It has to, think how dreadful, lame, and especially boring it would be if it wasn't. I think that's the point.

They've tried. Unfortunately, conservative stereotypes of liberals are often taken seriously by conservatives, not with any comedic value.

Please don't try to confuse people with facts that can't be refuted. It makes their brains hurt and go wibbley-wobbley. Plus the smoke that comes out of their ears keeps setting off the smoke detectors.
Besides if you'll notice he still hasn't denied that Romney is evil. He just objects to people laughing at him.
You do realize that since 1961 the Democrats have added 41 million private sector jobs while Relpublicans have added 24 million. Even if you shift a year after presidents took office to count for new policies, it is 38 million Dems, 27 million Reps. That is just private sector, if you count all jobs (government) it is 48 Million dems, 31 million Reps.

GDP, Stock Prices and Corporate Earnings have all increased more under Democrats than Republicans.

That being said, he also cut income taxes and the corporate tax across the board. For all the lines he overstepped, he was still a capitalist who believed in markets.
It was pretty much all downhill from there. Lyndon Johnson was a train wreck, depleting our currency and leaving Nixon with an unresolved war and a deficit. Granted Nixon didn't help either- He literally reneged the value of our currency (removing the option to convert the US dollar to gold) and he did it with a democrat designed monetary policy. It didn't do anyone any good either.
Gerald Ford was a Republican, and also a bit of an idiot. He screwed up by doing exactly what Obama is doing, spending on government programs and raising taxes during a deficit. The difference being that he actually decided to get it right eventually and cut taxes and slash spending, only to bail out New York City.
Next up is Jimmy Carter, the worst president in US history, and on the blue team. I'm pretty sure losing to Ronald Reagan in the worst clobbering in US history says enough. Reagan was the first two term president since Nixon, and the first quality president since Eisenhower. I wish you'd included the years of post WWII growth in your figures, instead of starting in an era where all Republican presidents advocated Democratic economic policies up to Ronald Reagan in 81.
Bush Sr. failed to capitalize off of the conditions Reagan left for him because of a Democrat controlled Congress, but he just kept dropping the ball and siding with the blue team from there. He was a disgrace and a pushover. And surprise, after enacting the democrat's budget, another recession. Increased taxes lead to layoffs, more unemployed lead to Keynesian spending, and Republicans hated George HW Bush. He was not reelected for a reason.
Democrats must have secretly loved Bush Sr. at the time, because after a Republican president failed horribly with their economic policies, it was their turn again.
But to be fair, Clinton wasn't really that bad. He cut taxes, cut spending and balanced the budget. Republicans kept him in check on his failed attempt at socializing health care. Honestly, I like Bill Clinton, although there are some things I don't like about him. I consider him to be a good president.
We all know that George Bush Jr. was fiscally retarded, but he was still probably the best leader our country had since Reagan. People love to remember his failed economic policies, which were the opposite of fiscal conservatism- Namely deficit spending. But everyone likes to forget that when our country was attacked by terrorists his approval rating went above 90%, and for good reason. That being said, we can probably all agree that the Iraq war was irresponsible.
Since Obama took office stocks have returned to 12.4 % returns annually in line with S&P performance. Under Bush corporate earnings grew 14.2%, under Obama, 51.8 %. For a Socialist Muslim Godless baby killer he seems to do well at making money. |
That being said, you're pulling some convenient figures here. Let's look where it counts. Multi billion dollar stimulus packages, socializing the housing market, too big to fail banks, doubling Bush Jr's deficit through irresponsible Keynesian spending. It's no wonder our currency rating got downgraded for the first time in history. We almost went into default and had to raise the debt ceiling because of this complete lack of fiscal restraint. And where has all of this really gotten us? Unemployment at or above (Now I think slightly below) 8%, and more public debt than every other administration combined.

And don't forget what things will look like if Obama is reelected. First of all, I invite everyone to look at this to see how much your taxes will increase by if the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire:

Not me, btw. If this election were between Obama and Chris Christie, I'd be seriously tempted to vote for Chris Christie.

Well yippiekaya, you like the most conservative Democrat in modern history, who managed to annihilate the American economy by repealing Glass-Steagal, signing NAFTA, and gutting welfare.

and I invite you to look at this as far as taxed under Romney or Obama
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/03/bu...pagewanted=all
for the TLDR crowd basically the author realized he would be paying a little more under Obama, but the huge gap between what the uber rich pay in taxes and the author would be removed versus paying a little less under Romney but having the gap between what the uber rich pay and himself widen even more.
the author goes as far as to say it's up to the reader what they think is fair.
Odd that you would call Carter the worst president in us history - He deregulated the airline industry as well as the beer industry (making it legal for people to home brew beer- yes you can thank Jimmay for that!) Brokered peace between Isreal and Egypt, worked to downsize government...all the hallmarks of a conservative.
This whole thread all but the OP is like trying to pick things out in an over crowded bowling ally. Just a bunch of damned noise. Like anyone gives a ratsass about what you are saying. Like I said before. Your votes DO NOT count. They put in who they can best control...Uggg I am wasting my fingers on this...Go at it blind ones.
Get with the op..fUNNY...
Original Post wasn't even funny.
Don't mess with Texas!
