typical republican lie, we payed no INCOME TAXES NOT NO TAXES, for instance i am 16 with no job but when i buy a bag of chips and a pop for a dollar each i pay sales tax and in Michigan its 6% so i just payed 12 cents in taxes :P YEAH BE MAD
you forgot ralph nader as a green party candidate in 2000 and as an independant in 2004 also cynthia white of the green party in 2008 who won 2,313,000 votes
Hi! I didn't "forget" Nader, per se, but I just didn't feel Nader's vote total in 2000, or 2004, were significant enough to warrant any attention, it was just under 3% in 2000, and much less in '04. Granted, a few swing states may have gone one way or the other due to the so-called Nader effect, but nationally, it wasn't really significant.
And Cynthia McKinney I believe was the Green Party candidate in 2008, she did not win 2 million votes though. It was much, much less, and rather insignificant.
@philberz Don't worry. Obama isn't going to win NC or IN this time around in 2012. He fooled a lot of people in 2008. Those same people are out of a job now and they aren't going to give the Chicago thug another 4 years to further destroy this economy. Don't bank on FL, OH, CO either. MI, NH, PA, IA and NV could also be in play depending on who the Repubs nominate. Unless things change quickly the electoral map will look quite different.
@chippewaman1975 Yeah I disagree. Even with a bad economy Obama will win again next year. The republican party has gone completely batshit crazy with people like Bachmann and Santorum. They'll never nominate a normal moderate this time and will opt for a nutjub religious whackjob instead.
Hi there. Correct Johnson wasn't renominated at the convention, more due to Democratic disenchantment with him. So, states ran up their own individual candidates for VP. He nonetheless won more electoral votes, than the other candidates -- except of course Tyler. In other words, Johnson still won a plurality of the Van Buren electoral votes.
I love 1932 to 1944 FDR was truly and man of the people. Also anyone else notice that some of the better democratic presidents have had affairs. FDR had an affair, Kennedy had multiple affairs. We all know Clinton got his knob gobbled.
Now i hope Obama never cheats cos lets face it his wife will beat his ass. Hell in high school i dated this black girl if i even looked at another girl she would whack me up side the head. That was a year of fun i till you.
No, Washington technically was not born in the US -- he was born in Virginia, but at that time it was part of British America. He, and the next six presidents, were all born in British America. Martin Van Buren is the first US-born citizen. Keep in mind, regarding Presidential qualifications, the Constitution does make an exception for those born during this time in America under British rule.
@carnypimp It’s Jefferson’s birthday today, so how fitting we shall discuss Jefferson’s party identification.
I’ve already addressed this issue, but I will do so again. While Democrats trace their lineage to Jefferson, it’s not until Jackson and Van Buren that the term is more widely used – back in Jefferson’s day, it was a derisive word, implying the belief in mob rule and chaos.
@carnypimp Democratic-Republican is an anachronistic term, applied with no historical footing. Republican was more widely used, and it’s colored green, to distinguish it from the red Republican party formed in the 1850s to oppose slavery, and it’s expansion.
If you don’t want to take my word for it, just look at Jefferson’s own words, in his 1801 inaugural address, in an attempt to offer an olive branch to the Federalists, he clearly says, “we are all Republicans, we are all Federalists.
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and J.Q. Adams were "Democratic Republicans", which later became Democrats, which is why the democratic party is often referred to the "Party of Jefferson".
"Democrat-Republican" is an anachronistic term. They never referred to themselves as such. In those days, it vacillated between Democrats and Republicans, the former originally being more disparaging. "Republican" tends to be more consistent, which is why I have it Green and not Red, to distinguish from today's Republican Party, which obviously started later.
I think the Democratic Party's connection to Jefferson is tenuous at best, but it's true, they do try to trace it him.
@fredsta125 Actually, 4:43 was a joke. How is that "hope and change" working out for you? What a disaster the community organizer from Chicago has been.
@chippewaman1975 Completey wrong. The desaster was produced by the drunkard and draft dodger from Texas and his administrations bellicose incompetence and corruption.
No the disaster was when you retards elected a retard. For 8 years Bush rode this country into the ground. I didn't expect some change from night to day. Obama need to stop trying to work with the Republicans they don't like him. They have no plan to work with him at all. So fuck em. Hell the republican held house is try to blackmail us by planing to block the raising of the debt ceiling unless they get all their demands met. If the US defaults it will ruin the world markets.
@jinto1980 You have terrible English. You sound like a true liberal Democrat. Do you have a degree or even a high school diploma? As for the Republicans "not working" with Obama let me remind you that the Democrats once had a SUPER majority in Congress. He didn't need a SINGLE Republican vote to pass anything he wanted to pass. That's how we got ObamaCare. We can't afford to raise the debt ceiling. We are already $12 Trillion in debt. Stop living in a dream world and get a job.
Do you know what happens when we don't raise the debt ceiling. The US defaults on the loans we have taken out. Which will ruin our credit rating and send the us markets into a free fall once again. If the us markets crash it starts a bit of a chain reaction. Next thing you know the worlds fucked and we are all living in 3rd world conditions. All because republicans think they can get everything they want by black mailing the country with possible doom. All in all nothing new.
@jinto1980 True, we can't default on our loans but raising the debt ceiling is just a temporary fix. In the meantime, we get further and further into debt with no end in sight. As of last week, the U.S. government had $14.280 trillion in debt. We are asked to live within our means but Washington does not and the American public is getting sick of it. We can't just keep printing money out of thin air and borrowing money from China. A complete financial collapse is coming one way or another.
Well there is one way to do it. Tax the rich, close the loopholes for corporations some of which don't pay any taxes at all. Single payer healthcare system, massive cuts to defense and reorganizing the social security and other welfare programs.
@jinto1980 Indeed - just take a look at Europe - in particular Greece - see how "raising the debt celing" and "taxing the rich" has helped with their fiscal situation?
@jinto1980 The "rich" are the problem, huh? Who pays the taxes in this country? The middle class and the upper class, that's who. You are taking a page right out of Obama's class warfare playbook rhetoric. Do you realize that 50% of the people in the U.S. pay NO TAXES AT ALL? Senator Marco Rubio said it best. He said, "We don't need more taxes, we need more taxpayers." More jobs is what we need. This president has been a total failure.
@123keryn "Get a job? After 2000-2008, this is when the jobs went out! You are living in a dream world!" Simply not accurate...not even close to being accurate. Try more like after 2007 when the liberal Democrats began their ascent to power. Compare the unemployment rate, deficit, etc. to the start of January 2007 to where it went from there.
