No, I'm not. But it's not the government's fault. And when I am a hell of a lot better off four years from now, the government won't get the credit, regardless of who is president.

Of course you're not better off, and of course it's not the Governments fault.

You just spend way too much time here on this website Eccie.net.

I am pointing out that you have a hypocrite running for the GOP vice president. He wants his Mom to continue with her benifits, he wants to keep the special healthcare benifits he gets but the sorry sac of shit wanys to give everyone else a two bit voucher for their healthcare.

But I would argue for less government for all. Not just the poor but less government for Defense Contractors too. What I have a problem with is less government for the poor but more government for folks that do business with the government. Crony Cap has me so turned off to both parties that I am looking to retire in a different country.

LOL, Maybe Obama can part seas , if he can lower the price of a barrel of oil!

That price spike had to do with the over heated housing bubble. Doubt that you will see that again anytime soon.

Well unless Romney wins and he takes us to war with Iran so JD can start murdering and raping Muslims and you can start living the American Dream once again!

waverunner234 · 08-31-2012, 01:12 PM

Even Romney would need more Government workers to put all those tax credits and discounts for the real rich people in place.

WTF

waverunner234 · 08-31-2012, 01:17 PM

And how is Romney gonna pay for a war with Iran?
Oh, I see, just load it on to the president after him, like Bush did with 2 wars he couldn't afford.
Maybe Romney can give us a tax cut too, like Bush did, just let the next president pay for it.
Who the hell cares? I'm sure Romney doesn't. He's too busy with the car lift in his San Diego retreat.

God please help us for so much stupidity

I am slightly better off, but below the growth needed for retirement down the road. I do not think that MCain/Palin would have done any better given the state of the US and world economies.

By the way, Obama did not take office until January 2009 and any supported legislation until February 2009. At that time, oil was $35/barrel. In fact, you should be better off.

Natural gas is a whole different matter, but you cannot blame oil.

JD Barleycorn · 08-31-2012, 01:53 PM

Amazing, just amazing WTF. You criticized Ryan for his mother getting Medicare and you say absolutely nothing about how Obama paid for his education, or how he has lived off the government his entire life.

You also want to know why Romney doesn't mention being governor (he blew that out of the water last night) but you have no curiousity why Obama doesn't talk about his accomplishments as president, not his words but his real accomplishments like Obamacare? Why won't he talk about that?

How long have you worked for the Soros, Obama, and the dems?

Well, If I weren't here, I would never have met you.

But you're right, my new business is taking off, and this place is getting more boring, but it is still fun at times.

I am looking forward to seeing the reactions to the election. That will be interesting.

You're right its getting more and more boring. That's why I don't post much anymore.
Same stupid people same problems just in another coat because the old coat is worn off.
And a thousand times over and over again.
People like WW and Joe Blow don't even see how ridiculous they are, total blindness of their own stupidity.

They are just as dumb as sean hannity, and in my eyes it is almost impossible to go any lower.

Guest123018-4 · 08-31-2012, 06:19 PM

No, I am not better off than I was when Obama was elected.
My income is down and has been considerably.
My health insurance is more expensive.
Fuel cost are much higher.
My investments are stagnanat.
Tires are more expensive.
Food is way more expensive.
Pussy is more expensive.

If it wasnt for the oil companies, things would be even worse.
Good thing there was a boom in horizontal drilling and fracking on private lands and existing leases. Thhat has helped get us through but it is nothing like it was our could be.
The only bright side was that after the housng market collapse, I was able to pick up some real estate on the cheap and people that cant get a loan are renting.

Will it bother you if Iran nukes Israel? My guess is, you wouldn't mind seeing Israel destroyed. Most liberals hate Israel.

Old-T · 08-31-2012, 06:42 PM

A little worse off than I was 4 yrs ago.
Substantially worse off than I was 8 years ago.

Do you mean I can't see how smart you are? You're right; I can't see any intelligence there at all. One of us is blind, that's for sure.
