Home in Henderson will have a weekly thread for political issues, including this thread, counting down the 8 weeks until November 6th, 2012, election day. Discuss as you please, keep it civil and respectful. Next Tuesday will be 3 Week Countdown and so forth. (I hope I got the week count right.)
You are free to comment on political issues anywhere else on the site as well, but it might be easier to carry about long discussions in specified threads instead of many different threads over the website.
The conservative presidential , Twitt Flopney, has done it again! Now he states he will not pass any laws concerning abortion. Etch-a-sketch boy is at it again.
And now tax breaks for the middle class. If we could stretch this election out a little longer, he would flop on immigration. Oh,right, he’s done that too! If he every had any integrity, it is absolutely gone.
Joe Biden is an embarrassment to the people of our nation. He is either badly misinformed or a liar. For example, last night, I noted several out and out wrong statements he made. I will share two of the most blatant.
Question: Why did the administration not provide adequate security at the Libyan consulate?
Biden: “We were not told they wanted more security”.
Fact: Two top diplomatic security officials testified at a congressional hearing last week that the administration had turned down several requests for more security.
Question: Under President Obama’s proposed tax plan, who will pay more taxes starting next year.
Biden: “Only people making one million dollars or more.”
Fact: Obama’s plan increases taxes on individuals and small businesses making $200,000 or more per year and adds a tax on qualified dividends, a tax which will affect millions of people who make much less than a million dollars.
This is the same guy who, in a talk in Virginia last month said, “This election is all about one three letter word…JOBS.” Just think this guy is only a heartbeat away from being the leader of the free world.
Again, the moderator choice was very poor. Biden showed little or no respect and common courtesy to Mr. Ryan.
But the Republican-dominated congress cut funding for State Department security. I’d just leave the Middle-east and let them do what they want to each other.
Come on Publius. They had plenty of funds for security. Just one of Michelle’s trips to Europe with her entourage would have more than paid for security for every US embassy in the world. This was just gross negligence complicated by the administration’s attempt to deflect the blame. Biden had to know this and lied in the debate.
