the most important election of your lifetime: 2012 american general election thread

noboodly

also, complaining that bin ladin leaks threatens soldier's lives is such a namby-pampy effete liberal concern. have the republicans become the party of discretion or something?

a big part of the reason I thought Romney would be the choice for '12 is that he seemed to be the only one who could make it look like a reagan-carter. I had no idea what a whiny baby Romney would be though.

how long had they been waiting to pull this one out

“I have exhausted my knowledge of this subject,” Carney said. “When someone hands me a beer I don’t ask how it was made, I just drink it.”

sweeeet

LOL at a thing called "OPSEC" bitching about intentional leaks. That's some hardcore IRL concern trolling. I mean, if they really are from the intelligence community they would know better than anyone that what information gets released is just as important as what information is concealed and the white house can't just willy nilly drop stuff off to the NYT without seriously screwing up the program... If it wasn't leaked by someone like Lt. Manning, it was on purpose and OK'ed by the Pentagon... I think even Average Joe Sixpack understands this?

the rove-y innovation is to savagely attack your opponent's strengths, not his weaknesses

Don't get that "Obama didn't kill BL, America did" bit. Because it pretty much agrees with Obama on the point he was originally trying to make.

the literal charge is that by leaking to the press and bragging about it Obama is endangering america by compromising secrecy

the uh emotional charge is that Obama is a faker and real men were in charge of the hit

it kinda feels like an ad campaign democrats would run

haha like the ads claire mccaskill ran "against" her now-opponent? that shit was hilaire

But they are implicating that the government did something that an individual couldn't!

This 'leaking' thing is just so transparently desperate. They really have nothing to stand on. No wonder if he had kept BL's death a secret they would all be "HOW DARE HE KEEP THIS A SECRET FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!"

ha did everybody read that article to the end

Responding to criticism about the president taking credit for the bin Laden raid, an Obama campaign official pointed to an interview with CNN last month in which Admiral Bill McRaven, commander of the raid, said: "At the end of the day, make no mistake about it, it was the president of the United States that shouldered the burden for this operation, that made the hard decisions, that was instrumental in the planning process, because I pitched every plan to him."

those soldiers didn't kill bin laden, and neither did the guns they used. it was the bullet piercing through his body that killed bin laden.

and in the end, it was the failure of bin laden's cells to repair themselves quickly enough that killed bin laden

Lots of funny stuff in here:

haha no, though there's that, i just mean the whole concept feels weak and inept in that classic democrat way

plz republicans continue to remind Americans that obl was killed on obamas watch. that's def a winning strategy

In that scenario, do you envision President Obama accepting defeat gracefully? Do you picture him congratulating President Romney on his victory, and pledging to do everything possible to ensure a smooth transition? Do you think the president will be ready to move on to post–White House life, focusing upon memoir-writing, building his presidential library, some charitable and foundation work, and plenty of golf?

uh, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes?

Starnge, that is precisely how I envision Obama reacting to a defeat at the polls in November.

No--the whole Osama thing was just a practice exercise for when he loses and he has to send in the military to eliminate John Boehner. It's what Kevin Costner calls a coup d'état.

You laugh, but my right-wing nut job coworker posted this on FB today:

First Homeland Security is ordering hollow point bullets (banned from the international battlefield), then the national weather service, now the social security administration? Is anyone else out there starting to get the creeps?

i am starting to get the creeps in a less specific, more general sense

People you need to read the testimonies coming out of Colorado from close to a dozen eyewitnesses!

Russian special forces are now embedded there and they are not leaving. These NWO sponsored terrorists are responsible for setting the majority of the wildfires in an effort by the Globalists to destabilize America.

They are also responsible for the recent underground explosions in Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin, which have been attempts to set off the New Madrid Fault in order to create havoc and bring about Martial Law so they can keep their puppet Obama in power. These troops are also going to be used to grab the guns soon.

List reminds me of this thread I tried to get going once: Guess The Movie! (Based on IMDB keywords)

wow, this guy is a piece of work- on audio he comes across even worse than the transcript reads:

http://www.npr.org/2012/08/15/158869947/do-voter-id-laws-prevent-fraud-or-dampen-turnout

On Pennsylvania partisan politics

Daryl Metcalfe: "The majority of Democrats that are trying to stop voter photo ID don't want to see the fraud stopped. ...

"All of the opposition from the NAACP, the ACLU, all the Democrats that voted against this and the House and Senate in Pennsylvania, they are trying to protect status quo. I believe they are trying to protect the fraud that they know they have happen at the polls that allows some of them to win."

On protecting voters' rights

Metcalfe: "We have millions of people voting here ... and across this country. Those millions of legal voters deserve to have their votes protected. Every legally cast vote should be protected from being undermined by the forces of corruption, and individuals have a responsibility under the new law to secure the ID they will need, and whether somebody's cashing a check, or whether they're getting prescription cough medicine."

On securing IDs ahead of the election

Metcalfe: "People need photo ID to function within our economy, and we've left ample time passing this law early in the year — not requiring it until November. We've left ample time for every citizen that didn't have ID to secure the documents they would need to get that ID."

Still possible that Justice Dept. could try to block it under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

yeah pretty sure some podunk judge in harrisburg isnt gonna be the last word on this..

romney with the whiteboard talking about medicare is hilariously shameless

Has he gone to a whiteboard? They must have been reading something I saw the other day, that Romney and Ryan had to start using a lot of graphs and charts like Perot did in '92.

OMG

"I'm really enjoying this so-called 'whitened board.'"

white boards are ceo crack.. I worked in an office with an ex ceo of a huge corp and he used white board 'wallpaper' in the office so people could brainstorm all over the damn place

awesome

(that Romney is going full Perot that is, your former boss sounds annoying)

xp

the best thing is that he writes a bunch of stuff in the Obama column, and then adds under that black line that it will be "Bankrupt" and he just leaves "No Change" on his side and puts "Solvent" under the line on his side. With no explanation.

GUYS Romney appears to have said something about his taxes again

I wonder if he has "the help" carry the 1 for him.
