2. Again, I know you hate everyone who is a Republican and anything related to the party, but things are not going so well. In the last 8 years, the average income has gone down; we are on the cusp of ACA going into effect, and with it a larger debt, more unemployment, and despite the impetus for ACA, health care costs are on the rise; terrorism, despite our being told otherwise is on the rise and not waning; we have had, and it seems will have more rioting in the streets; Republicans have all come forward as candidates with a tax plan, while the other party ignores that discussion; the President on immigration failed to keep his promise going in despite having both houses, and even failed to uphold US law at the borders to the south...his only immigration act was ruled unconstitutional because he bypassed those who make laws and he even supports protecting those who entered the country illegally by endorsing sanctuary cities.
To your point however, he has characterized the Republicans as terrorists, dummies, and a few other choice words, while in addition to ACA not even reaching. A 50% approval, he forced us into a treaty without support that will fuel the coffers of the terrorists; his actions have totally destroyed Libya, and put in great danger Israel. I was reminded yesterday how the French government wanted to get involved in Syria years ago when they were gassing children and guess who single handily stopped them....President Obama, after publicly drawing a red line. France will pay for that.
So you see, things are not going so well. He is the President and as one President said..the buck stops here.
I could go on, but no reason...you hate Republicans and feel all the above things were their fault, and that Obama has made zero errors..
Listen to the debate tonight and lisrpten as the "level playing field" is used over and over..,the free college, and on and on.
Listen and see if you hear helping business create jobs..nope all our problems are there.
When you run for President. Be careful...you might get elected.
I suggest to you, despite your condescending tone that I have a great sense of reality...I can see the problems because I wear no blinders supplied by either party.
Why you feel so much smarter...so much wiser than everyone amazes me, because you alone have twisted history to fit your needs so often it is not even remotely funny. You are not smarter than anyone else, you are not wiser, you do not have a better grip on reality than us poor dumb Republicans.
And the Republican Party is not the root of all evil despite what is in your head.
You float these hate posts about all things Republican when the candidate of the other party continues on her merry way. I can only assume from your disgust and hate for Republicans, that you support her yet never post why you support her.
You certainly, no matter your rhetoric, cannot support ANY Republican because after your words that would sure make you look foolish.
Only thing I can agree with is that ALL presidents get too much blame and too much credit. You folks who continually call everyone by a party label are the ones who have no grip on reality.

If you think that I hate Republicans, you don't know squat. Is this the way you try to justify your comments by making everyone that doesn't agree with you 100% the enemy? The real world doesn't work that way. This board isn't the real world. So, you think that you can get away with it.
"W" didn't receive anywhere near the amount of criticism during his presidency that Obama is receiving. "W" didn't have to deal with a great recession right out of the blocks. If you want to compare one president to another, it is a waste of time. The conditions each president has to deal with aren't the same. So, they aren't dealing on a level playing field.
You lost me with the comment that the ACA is going to cause unemployment. It is not a given that companies that employ around 50 employees with layoff people to stay under the 50, so they will not have to provide health insurance for their employees. The number of companies that will be affected by the 50 employee is very small. If you haven't noticed health insurance companies have been raising their rates above the rate of inflation for the past 35+ years. What we use to receive from our employers also aren't offer in normal companies anymore. They are too expensive. They are Cadillac plans. I dealt with health insurance companies for 35+ years once a year on renewal date, and hated every minute of it. If you think that insurance rates weren't going to rise with or without ACA, you are dreaming.
Have you looked at the Republican tax plans. They all have been vetted, and all of them are going to add 2+ trillion dollars to the debt over a ten year period. They are all based on a false assumption. If you decrease taxes, the economy will do better, because people have more money to spend. The trickle down nonsense. Has that ever worked? The majority of the tax cuts are going to people that don't need them. They are going to invest money. A good portion of it will probably be in overseas companies, that is where the growth is, and the money will stay in overseas banks to avoid paying taxes. Do I know this for a fact? No, but how many trillion of dollars are sitting in overseas banks to avoid paying taxes. So, it is a good bet that that will be the case.
I support Hillary. Where in the name of God's creation did you get that idea? Never once did I say that I support any of the Democrats running for president. I am going to vote in the primaries for John Kasich. If you don't believe that, that is your problem, and not mine. Speaking of John Kasich, why hasn't anyone here ever said what their objection to Kasich is? Is he to reasonable a person for you?
Am are smarter than people here? That may not be the case, but I can guarantee you that I am a lot more reasonable. Anyone that doesn't agree with you 100% of the time is a liberal/socialist/communist. That is total nonsense.
What was the Republicans response to Obama's Syria policy three plus years ago, when Obama drew the red line? They didn't have one. They wanted Obama to come to them to approve any act of war against another country. He did that, and they didn't do a damn thing. They didn't want to put their approval on anything that had to do with Syria, so they could complain later. Syria was a no win situation from day one. What is the Republican's policy toward Syria right now? The middle east is a total disaster, and both parties are to blame. Most of the blame should go to the Muslim's in the middle east. They all hate each other.
Obama's executive action on immigration will be decided at the Supreme Court. The ruling against him were in federal courts in Republican control states with the majority of the judges being Republicans. That is why the 26 states challenging the executive action was filed in Texas, and Louisiana.
How did we get to the situation where now everything is based upon political affiliation? How can that be good?
