So you'll be voting for Gary Johnson then? If not, then you really don't have much to complain about.


I really hope Night Strike thinks about this hard before he responds.

If someone is as ardently anti-government-spending as Night Strike supposedly is, he should be outraged by not just this corporate welfare, but all corporate welfare, including corporate welfare supported by the Republicans.


I've already stated that actions like bailing out the banks were completely wrong.

That's not really what I'm talking about and from what I've read, it appears you are voting for Mitt Romney, who I sincerely doubt will stop giving handouts to his corporate buddies.

How are you defining handouts, because I know the liberals define them as tax breaks, but I also know that you aren't a liberal?

I'm defining handouts by the following example: Industry X [the coal industry for Republicans, the solar industry for Democrats] spends a shit ton of money in lobbying and associated legal bribes to get Congress to pass a law providing tax deductions, credits, or other incentives that benefits Industry X. The tax benefits provided only benefit certain companies associated with Industry X (i.e. the big coal miner, not the small one; the connected solar industry company, not the one with a bunch of people who've never had dinner with the president). These are examples of handouts; or, more accurately, crony capitalist exchanges. Both major political parties do this on a regular basis. Both major political parties and their supporters hypocritically criticize the other party for doing it.

I support broad tax cuts that allow any business within that field to claim the tax credit if they choose to build or expand their operations. I do not support negative tax rates/subsidies that allow businesses to take more money from the government than the amount they've paid in. Keep more of the money you make, don't take away more money than you pay.

Although none of these debates would matter if we would actually switch to consumption taxes instead of taxing the actual work people and companies do.

Romney supports the ending of capital gains taxes and cutting individual taxes, so it's at least a start. Hopefully Romney will do work to simplify the tax code as well as cut spending/deficit, which will allow a future president to take that further to a sales tax. Unfortunately, we're not going to just switch to a sales tax under one president. That's just reality.

I can't? Well, right now I'm listening to a REAL debate (as opposed to the farce from last night). But I find it laughable that you believe the equivalent toward Obama has not existed.

You're using a very strange definition of "masses", but I suppose you think it helps your case if you pretend that these are untold numbers of Democrats or something.

Notice two things:

(1) The names of the websites in Woodruff's list (NBC, ABC, reuters).
(2) The seriousness with which Obama threats were treated.

Compare to Romney threats. I'm just saying.

If you're able to "give him a few hundred" then clearly other places must be reporting such threats.

One threat or hundreds, they should all be treated seriously. I can't believe the discussion is who received more or when. Supposedly Obama has received twice as many as President Bush, and we all know how popular he was when he was in office. The vast majority of the people that would say or do something like this, is not the mainstream person in the opposite party.

I wish all people would grow up and not be so immature when a guy they don't like is running for office. And all these threats are taking time away from the security teams for both men.
taking a break from cc, will be back sometime in the future.

Perhaps because he's the God damn President, you fucking idiot. Perhaps because at least one with actual, serious plans involved, to be carried out by military personnel. Perhaps because it wasn't solely a bunch of internet loudmouths. Seriously, man. You're just making yourself look stupid here.

Glad to hear they're investigating it. I hope whoever is perpetrating it is caught and convicted.

That being said...how stupid do you have to be to:
The FBI is joining an investigation into bogus letters sent to many Florida residents, including the Republican Party of Florida chairman, that raise questions about their eligibility to vote.

My, my. Read again please:

... Were your links post election? Your linked stories then are not comparable. So please, Woody, show me folks tweeting, message posting, etc.. en mass about killing then Senator Obama during the 2008 election. You won't find it, because though there may be a few nut jobs who would have said such a thing, the Dems hold a very strong majority when it comes to racism and hatred in this country... as evidenced by my earlier posts in this thread.

... Thank you.
