Politics Who's Gonna Win?

Maybe the Tea Party Nation would accept Obama signing the Family Leader "Marriage Pledge"

The Candidate Vow:
Therefore, in any elected or appointed capacity by which I may have the honor of serving our fellow citizens in these United States, I the undersigned do hereby solemnly vow to honor and to cherish, to defend and to uphold, the Institution of Marriage as only between one man and one woman. I vow to do so through my:

• Personal fidelity to my spouse.
• Respect for the marital bonds of others.
• Official fidelity to the U.S. Constitution, supporting the elevation of none but faithful constitutionalists as judges or justices.
• Vigorous opposition to any redefinition of the Institution of Marriage – faithful monogamy between one man and one woman – through statutory-, bureaucratic-, or court-imposed recognition of intimate unions which are bigamous, polygamous, polyandrous, same-sex, etc.
• Recognition of the overwhelming statistical evidence that married people enjoy better health, better sex, longer lives, greater financial stability, and that children raised by a mother and a father together experience better learning, less addiction, less legal trouble, and less extramarital pregnancy.
• Support for prompt reform of uneconomic, anti-marriage aspects of welfare policy, tax policy, and marital/divorce law, and extended “second chance” or “cooling-off” periods for those seeking a “quickie divorce.”
• Earnest, bona fide legal advocacy for the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) at the federal and state levels.
• Steadfast embrace of a federal Marriage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which protects the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman in all of the United States.
• Humane protection of women and the innocent fruit of conjugal intimacy – our next generation of American children – from human trafficking, sexual slavery, seduction into promiscuity, and all forms of pornography and prostitution, infanticide, abortion and other types of coercion or stolen innocence.
• Support for the enactment of safeguards for all married and unmarried U.S. Military and National Guard personnel, especially our combat troops, from inappropriate same-gender or opposite-gender sexual harassment, adultery or intrusively intimate commingling among attracteds (restrooms, showers, barracks, tents, etc.); plus prompt termination of military policymakers who would expose American wives and daughters to rape or sexual harassment, torture, enslavement or sexual leveraging by the enemy in forward combat roles.
• Rejection of Sharia Islam and all other anti-woman, anti-human rights forms of totalitarian control.
• Recognition that robust childbearing and reproduction is beneficial to U.S. demographic, economic, strategic and actuarial health and security.
• Commitment to downsizing government and the enormous burden upon American families of the USA‟s $14.3 trillion public debt, its $77 trillion in unfunded liabilities, its $1.5 trillion federal deficit, and its $3.5 trillion federal budget.
• Fierce defense of the First Amendment‟s rights of Religious Liberty and Freedom of Speech, especially against the intolerance of any who would undermine law-abiding American citizens and institutions of faith and conscience for their adherence to, and defense of, faithful heterosexual monogamy.

Michelle Bachmann was the first candidate to sign it, followed by the multiple adulterer Gingrich. To his credit, Romney did not sign it.

 

Nut bags.

 

(from the John Stewart "Restore Sanity" rally)

 

I tend to ask myself, could I do a better job, than the person in office now? Maybe city/county wise I could bring better ideas.

State wide and nationally, I don't know as much as they do and I seriously doubt it for the simple reason, right now EVERYTHING is personal and NOTHING has to do with wanting to make the nation better. Statewide does not seem as bad as nationally, but still extremely partisan.

One thing I do know for sure that I am better than, I would NEVER put money overseas in bank accounts to avoid paying taxes in a time of war. To me that is treasonous and should be treated as a crime and NOT as some overlooked fact that some guy running for president avoids talking about.

 

BBC News - Tax havens: Super-rich 'hiding' at least $21tn

And we wonder why there is a fiscal problem and the value of money has declined...

And when they say they want companies to be able to bring back their money held overseas without paying taxes, this is what they are talking about. It won't create 'jobs' that don't already exist.

 

I have too many skeletons and don't want the job. I'll be like W and Clinton though and take the seminar money perks and in Clinton's case the intern blow job.

 

if I had a Facebook account. They will just have to read my TFP posts.

 

I am so posting that on another forum. I never use my FB page other then to check out my grand daughters newest photos.

 

at the risk of sounding like Groucho Marx, anyone who actively wants the job of President probably shouldn't be trusted with it.

 

Romney to announce that Paul Ryan is his VP choice.....safe, white, true conservative.

It will certainly help shore up the Tea Party wing, but it keeps the target right on the Ryan budget and its adverse impact on the middle class and working poor at the expense of defense spending and tax cuts for the wealthy...hardly an appeal to Independents.

 

so i hear romney picked ayn rand as his running mate.

 

Let's wait until 8:45am... I'll believe it when he is standing next to a Romney-Ryan sign.

 

When you're being pummeled for a tax plan that benefits the rich and burdens the poor, why would you pick a VP candidate who wants to eliminate Medicare? Are they doubling down on their "Fuck the Poor 2012" campaign slogan?

 

I wonder how my 'private' social security would be doing now? I think my 401k is still growing at 1% or so a year, not the 7-8% that was quoted. And just hope you aren't in your 60s when a big stock market crash happens.
