lol, you apparently didn't pay attention in 2008, when the media had nothing but glowing praise for Obama. Indeed, one so-called journo admitted he felt a tingle up his leg, listening to his messiah preach. There was no vetting of Obama by the media. All that mattered to them was that he was black, gave a good speech, and had a D by his name. They were in the tank for him from day 1. What Breitbart was saying, was that they will do the job the mainstream media refused to do 4 years ago.
And regarding smear campaigns, and screeching attack ads, I have to say, that while Republicans have had practice, the Dems have long since mastered the art, and lets not forget the class warfare, and racism cards in their playbook which they play at every opportunity.

Sorry, but he's a nut. A likeable nut, but still a nut. Even if I happen to agree with about 70% of what he says, that 30% is what kills his chances.

They forgot to add. Its always been part of Chinese territory, ever since 1970 when it was discovered there might be oil and gas there,. Much the same way Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines belong to China

Heh, cause nothing is more radical in Washington, then fiscal sanity. Yep, those crazy Tea Party folks. Insisting that we should balance the budget... So funny.
I agree. Which is why I have long since realized that I cannot support Newt. I cannot support Romney, and Paul is a nutcase on foreign policy. Meaning theres only Santorum left, and he gives me the willies. But he's the only one left. Meaning I'll be voting for him when my primary rolls around.

Heh, ok that made me laugh.
Lets be honest here. Theres more then enough hypocrisy to go around, on both the left and right.
Find a thread on immigration here in Japan. Surely you can remember some of them. Maybe the Iranian girl who along with her family wanted to stay in Japan. If I remember the story, the family was deported back to Iran, but they decided to let the girl stay and finish High School. Not sure how far back these threads are archived, but I remember some really vicious posts in that and other threads, and by some of the usual suspects here on this board.

He actually earned just about everything he's made. It wasn't given to him. Yes he came from a wealthy and politically connected family, but he also worked hard to get where he is. He didn't just become CEO of Bain Capital one day. He had to work his way up.
Smith, my comment wasn't directed specifically at you, but rather at some others of your type. You probably know who I'm talking about. They agree with you politically. They think its horrible that conservatives want to deport illegals in the US, however when it comes to threads on illegal immigration in Japan, its amazing how many of these same people strongly speak out against it. Saying they should be deported etc.
Actually, my understanding, is that it is being done for those who have passed on. They though can choose whether to accept it or not. So, no one is changing religions without their consent. Besides since they're dead, does it really matter to anyone except their families?

Heh, yeah Zurc, it is easy. Do a bit of research first next time eh?
So, in addition to exposing your unwillingness to do any research, you expose your bias against capitalism. Apparently, being a CEO means you're doing nothing. And he didn't start as CEO, he worked his way up. He has been very successful, but hell even yabits admits he has had to work hard to get where he is. Do a bit of research Zurc, you may prefer Obama, but at least have the decency to find out who the opponent is, before just denouncing him.
Hmm, ok I actually agree with you on this. Calliing the OWS movement rapists and murderers is about like calling the Tea Party Racists. That there are murderers and rapists involved there, is a matter of record, but the vast majority of them, those primarily involved, are definitely not.

America is becoming less free all the time. More and more permits are needed for everything. More and more inspections and reports needed before things can get done. Costs go up, the size of government goes up, and every day more freedom is chipped away. Its all being done in the name of security.

And only loons could believe something that has been proven to work, is a fantasy. I find it interesting, that some of the same people who condemn conservatives for wanting the illegals out of the US, have no problem saying the exact same thing when it comes to people here in Japan illegally. You know who you are.
I'm from Arizona, it works. If the Federal Government got tough on illegals. If they made it more economically viable for them to go back to their home country, then to stay in the US, then yes, this plan would work. No, not all of them would leave. But many of them would. If additionally, benefits were given to those who chose to come to the US through established channels, and further punishments tacked on to those here illegally, there would be even more incentive to leave, and come back legitimately.
Overall though, as far as I'm concerned, this is just another strike against Gingrich. It makes me like him even less. After his comments attacking capitalism, I wasn't seriously considering him as a candidate, but with this, he is sounding less like a conservative, and more like Bush 3. Romney is already too far left as it is, but given a choice between the 2 of them, Romney is sounding better and better.

I wonder, if people's attitudes were the same back at the end of WW2, as they are today, whether there would be anyone living, even today in either Nagasaki or Hiroshima. This constant fear-mongering to get out of Fukushima simply does not help. When it comes down to it, you could live right next door to the former nuclear plant, and would still be far more likely to die from a heart attack, old age, disease, or a car accident then you would be to die from radiation caused cancer.

I really don't understand this. Every single one of the candidates running for President are multi millionaires. From Romney and Gingrich, to Obama and Biden, none of them, not one of them is poor. And most of them never really had to struggle to achieve either.

It really does amaze me how some people seem to have flunked economics. Go back and re-read the section on supply and demand please. Things will make more sense, and you won't feel the need to raise idiotic ideas, with no basis in reality. Seriously, increasing supply does not cause an increase in price.

Honestly I wonder if she will ever fully recover from being shot in the head as she was. While I would have been happy to see her lose an election, to have anyone, but especially a outstanding lady such as Gabby Giffords, be forced to retire because of an attempted assassination is truly a tragedy, regardless of your political affiliation.

Heh, theres wishful thinking if I ever heard it. For Americas sake, I certainly hope your wish turns out the way your predictions about the Republican Party turned out.
lol, the definition of extreme for Dems seems to be moderate. No wonder then that the Dems consider every conservative to be a far right wing nutcase. Sorry Laguna, but that comment was just too funny to pass up.
Your comments about Religion, and the US though are very well made. I agree that Demographics account for the current monopoly of Presidents and their religion. I personally would have loved to have seen Bobby Jindal run, though I believe he is Christian, so really doesn't make a good example. Lieberman and Romney however are both good examples of Presidential contenders that are from a non mainstream religion. Who knows what will happen in the future.

Why do the nuts on the left, always scream racism? Is a good question. Was a good question about Libya, about Syria, and now about Nigeria. And why do people ask it? Because he is the President of the United States. If GWB was still President, people would be asking the very same question. To my friends on the left, give up your racist obsession.

As someone who enjoys manga, I hate being lumped in with these loons. Please don't assume that because someone reads and enjoys manga they are automatically a loner, loser, an otaku, or a hikikomori. If I told you I enjoyed playing basketball, would you call me a jock? Or for that matter, if I enjoy golf, does that make me President of the US?
Having said this though, I have to agree with several of the other posters. This guy is definitely sick, and really ought to get the death penalty. Murdering his mother and sister... just despicable.

You ever do anything you that in hindsight, you realized was a mistake? I know I have. I don't blame JoePa for what happened, nor for what he failed to do. He reported it to the university, and assumed they would look into it. What I really question, is why this other coach, McQuerty, who supposedly witnessed a rape, didn't do more then simply tell JoePa about it? Why didn't he call the police? I can tell you, if I saw, what he is reported to have seen, I wouldn't have bothered to tell my father, or my brother, or my priest. I would have told the cops. If anything, he is the one who in my mind should have been castigated for this. I'm glad he came forward, but it shouldn't have happened 8 years after the fact.

95% of Americans would make a better President then Obama. The other 5% are hyper partisan nuts from both sides, or simply, insane. Sadly, Nader falls into the 5% catagory with some of his off the wall rants. And Rand Paul with his nonsensical foreign policy does as well. Romney and Gingrich would both be better Presidents then Obama, but then, obviously that hurdle isn't very high.

Yes, because everywhere you look, people get arrested, tried, convicted, and executed, without even being indicted, or having a warrant issued against them. I mean, just last week the US executed about a hundred people on drug charges. And they'll execute another hundred this week... Yeah, the US has a horrible human rights record. Much, much worse then Chinas.
