Sounds as though you're a Democrat mole in Republican sheep's clothing (pardon the animal mixed metaphor).
Giving the Republican candidate of "your choice" false hope before you pull the final lever on Obama.[-x 🤥

Not much of a mole since he's already ruled out every candidate except Mittens. Mittens has long been selected as the loser in Obama's reelection.

If you believe that privacy and social welfare rights aren't subject to presidential politics, you are naivete.

Define privacy.
I don't know if you're talking about the sodomy type or the Big Brother type.

As for social welfare, again be specific.
Using your earlier example of abortion, please remember that Roe v Wade was decided during Nixon. And despite 5 1/2 terms of Republican Presidents since that time, not one has even hinted at applying pressure to overturn the decision.

See my original point: the right and the left use these factors to win votes.
Romney has to be "pro life" in order to win the GOP ticket.
Means nothing towards the ruling should he win.

Likewise for the Gay marriage.
Bill Clinton didn't push for national acceptance of a gay marriage law, and neither did Obama.
But they will tell you that they're in favor so they win the Dem ticket.

These are two polarizing subjects, yet they're the LAST thing that will change based on a sitting president.

But because it's so emotionally charged and more interesting than, say, the deficit, it'll be a major factor in how people vote. And that's sad.




Note: I'm not suggesting that their power to appoint justices doesn't influence social laws. Simply that the POTUS can't be bothered enough by such issues to base their choices accordingly.

Couldn't vote for someone who wears " magic underwear" (Romney). (Google: Mormon Underwear). Yet, he's the only one I could tolerate. I doubt that either Obama or any Republican can make any difference after the next election. Things won't improve under any president for at least 6-10 years.

Hey TG, like Hebrew National, we answer to a higher authority, right?

Yes I am kidding. That was too easy.

Rick has been on a (probably) medicated rant lately, and his disdain for anything deeply religious yet unique has shown on more than one occassion.

We often hear his tales about being raised as a poor black child in the streets of Brooklyn, and he's used these fables to justify his (ahem) heightened awareness. Yet he routinely blasts the religious right and in this instance he is poking his 4 ft high nose into a man's personal grief and core beliefs.

He's a hypocrite.

You, and other conservatives, on this site constantly attack people who don't agree with you, especially on the left, by calling them the worst names possible. Yet somehow you think your 'beliefs' can't be critisized? Now that's being a hypocrite.

When the person attacking never shows the ability for civil disagreement I tend to side with tailgater.

Eh, a person's under-garments are his or her private matter. You know, like a Jew who wears tzitzit.

As to the economy, I think you are right. And then, it will be time for another boom- or at least good times.

Here in Orlando, we need our housing and labor markets to balance out. More tourists will help as well. Other cities and states across the nation will improve and faster because of our housing glut, but that will just help Orlando via tourism.

Right now, I think that the European Unions' member nations' financial woes are the biggest threat to economic recovery. Jobs are up (a bit). Raw product purchases and stock piles by manufacturers are growing. The new hire outlook by manufacturers looks better. It is also just a mater of time. Five to 10 years is not unrealistic, but I hope it will be sooner.

What a troll.

It is absolutely fair for me to criticize a man directly, and to label him a hypocrite, without being one myself.

I never said my beliefs can't be criticized. Nor are the actions defined above even within my own faith or beliefs.

So how, pray tell, is that being a hypocrite?

And while it's on my mind, this board could use a little less of the sophomoric "I know you are, but what am I?" defense mechanism that you've embraced in your post above.
What's next? The "I'm rubber and you're glue" routine?
Or how about just saying "Oh yeah?"

I'd say you must be a hoot at parties, but I'm thinking you're not allowed to hang around with the adults any more.
