Chuck Norris, who sounds like he’s talking his way through a particularly long yawn, rambles for two minutes and fifteen seconds about “like minded Americans” who are “at a tipping point” at “this point in history” in a video released over Labor Day weekend by the RNC.
Honestly, I can barely put another sentence together about the weird rhetoric the Republican party has offered up this time around. For this election they’ve gone almost entirely “show” and no “tell” – from having Eastwood talk instead of a politician who might actually help them, to making their VP choice almost as ballsy as Sarah Palin was in the 2008 election, the GOP has seemingly has no clue what they’re saying as long as it has *something* to do with getting the scary black guy out of office.
Norris warns of “1,000 years of darkness” if Obama is elected, which is a roundabout way of saying “I hate black people” but there you go, however way you want to slice it, dude is over-dramatic and wrong on every level.

It was Gena Norris who quoted Reagan, and not Chuck on that "1,000 years of darkness". Your interpretation that that phrase "is a roundabout way of saying 'I hate black people'" is not only taken out of the Reagan context, but absolutely ridiculous and absurd. Sadly, you report *news* just like a Liberal, devoid of accuracy.

Who cares who he slept with, if that's all you have, you don't care about facts anyway. To be an illogical republican arguing on a democtratic site site is like being thaat creepy uncle that no one invited to a wedding, but he shows up and makes an ass of himself anyway.

If you don't watch the vid, find somewhere else where you can "non-debate" for a party that has no regards for minorities as yourself. As a democrat, you are totally welcome, regardless of age, sex, religion, preference, etc. I emplore you though, to continue arguing for them. Time will tell.
September 11, 2012 at 3:24 am, Walter-Lana Ortiz said:
So, Dustin, I guess you wouldn't care if Clinton slept with *your* wife then? Really, it's you who has failed to use logic in these posts!
September 11, 2012 at 6:11 am, Dustin Price said:
Hey, he ran the country at a surplus, no wars during his terms, and it was an overall better atmosphere than it has been since. That's logic. Bush didn't do or have any of the above.
September 11, 2012 at 3:34 pm, Walter-Lana Ortiz said:
Surplus? I think that was only due to slashing the Defense Budget in order to create a paper surplus. Once Clinton was out, the Defense Budget was restored. That's not logic, that's party policy. Even Obama was committed to getting Osama! Presidents can only react (maybe sometimes prevent) wars, but certainly not govern them during their presidencies.

I don't understand: Christians will be raptures before the 1000 days of Darkness. Right? Don't you want the Rapture to happen? Then you should be voting for Obama who you are suggesting is the Evil One the False Prophet of God, and the one's who wears the sign 666. The Norris plea does not add up.
So I have to ask what else are they selling, Gold, Survival Equipment, Guns? It is not a love for mankind and the creation of God. They are promoting violence by their expectation of it and their preparation for it and their identifying people as being evil to conquered.
It would take much more time to evaluate why the Norris's hold onto a belief that Christians should conduct themselves this way. Has some one redefined Evangelical Christian to mean something other than a Christian that will teach Christianity? IF he'd like to be more specific about his thinking that may be interesting to rebuke item by item issue by issue. His fear mongering is most likely based on his own fear and fear is often based on ignorance. Unfortunately, some folks chose to be persistent in their ignorance. Fortunately this is not a majority of people.

""A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil."
One might consider the 'lessor' as a % gradient,,, 90% as evil?? If one does, using %'s, it helps understanding that either Party is utilising misenginerred policies.
And that there is always a purpose and originating central direction different participating groups to policy decisions…. come from.
This directioning, from 'evil sourses or not, is where peolpe must start their comprehension of what is available in choice of direction, from our elected officials.
The source of direction, as in the statement 'follow the money' which will always apply
in a capitolistic society, funds both our Fiat money and thus our politicians.
That source is the Primary Dealers to the Federal reserve… the Fiat disbursement point.
This leaves the obvious question, chciken or egg. Which came first, 'evil men', or a system that funds them.

September 10, 2012 at 1:07 am, Joshua Tewell said:
The difference between my association with my neighbor, and Ryan's association with Romney, is as great as the difference between the surface of the earth and the surface of the sun. I mean, I guess they both appear to be round, so they must be the same? One bad analogy does not justify another. Romney's choice of VP is a 100% endorsement, and he can't say, "Well, he's got his opinions and I've got mine." By nominating Ryan, that's Romney saying, "This guy is the best person in the entire country to be my VP and help me fulfill my vision"
September 10, 2012 at 9:36 pm, Walter-Lana Ortiz said:
Joshua, that's precisely my point and why the "guilty by association" fallacy was/is an illogical argument made by Dustin up top. And not just that, but attributing those words to Romney (in Kem's post) is technically a lie. Also, no choice of any VP (Democrat, Republican, Communist, etc.) is ever *really* a 100% endorsement simply because no one can possiby know 100% about their choice for running mate.
September 10, 2012 at 9:51 pm, Dustin Price said:
http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/the_rumble/2012/08/paul-ryan-just-plain-bad-for-women There's that proof. If you had any itegrity, you would've either known this, or theres this thing called Google, and it's quite handy. My argument is, if they don't stand together on the smaller issues, where are they going to be if the proverbial shit hits the fan?
September 10, 2012 at 9:54 pm, Dustin Price said:
Walter-Lana Ortiz Man, you honestly believe Romney didn't check this guy's voting record before choosing him as a running mate? He obviously decided the liability of Ryan's choices either weren't an issue or he just doesn't care who gets stepped on, on the way u. Sounds eerily familiar to his corporate career, no?
September 10, 2012 at 10:09 pm, Walter-Lana Ortiz said:
Dustin – Again, where is the proof that "Romney" stated he is "against women's right to work"??? Your "guilt by association" fallacy doesn't work here and neither does your "red herring" fallacy with your liberal news article. Look, the real reason why women get paid less than men for the same work is because they *agree* to it. If she thinks she's worth more than what she's getting paid, then by all means, let her ask for/demand a raise! But that's not the same as being "against women's right to work"!
September 10, 2012 at 10:16 pm, Dustin Price said:
I never said Romney TOOK A STANCE against, but he knew going into the primaries what Ryan's stance was, probably on all topics. Yet, instead of opting for a more respectable running mate (i'm not that biased, there are some respectable rep. candidates) he takes Ryan, the most extreme. So, it's the same as aiding and abetting. Also, this is 2012. She shouldn't have to ask for it. It's the same as me noticing you are a different race, and deciding you are not worthy of living in my country. Pretty unfair.
September 10, 2012 at 10:30 pm, Dustin Price said:
So, as you are not caucasian, should you make what I make? Live in my neighborhood? It's the same discrimination. Thank god I haven't experienced it but I know what it must feel like. Wether it's against women or culture, it's still discrimination. If you would've READ my post above better, albeit with simple interpretive skills you could've deducted my statement as "Romney knows where Ryan stands, he must not feel too different about it." Go ahead, flex your e-penis.
September 11, 2012 at 3:36 am, Walter-Lana Ortiz said:
Dustin – Like I wrote, your "guilt by association" fallacy just doesn't work. Neither does "it's the same thing as aiding and abetting". You keep failing logic here – be mad at yourself, not me. And, you should actually be happy Romney has chosen Ryan – it should assure you he will lose, right? I have an idea. Since you really feel that women should have equal pay, why don't *you* do something about it? Why don't you go in to work tomorrow, ask all the women how much they earn, declare *your* salary, and if you find any woman who has your same position in the company but with less pay give her some of *your* money. After all, it's *your* money, isn't it?

That would be knda hard to do. I am a structural engineer, and self-employed. I am more than willing to pay in my share on obamacare, as I see if implemented correctly, it could reduce the cost for your average joe. I don't go along nor agree with all of Obama's stances, but I feel like you could agree that Romney wasn't the best choice for the Republican party, nor was Ryan. Had it been Ron Paul, I might've had a tougher coice this fall.
September 11, 2012 at 3:40 pm, Walter-Lana Ortiz said:
No it wouldn't. Open up the phone book and call all the *male* structural engineers and just see if any of them, Democrat or Republican, will donate their salaries to *female* structural engineers not making as much money. Equal pay, right? You *really* believe that, right? And, you really have NO idea what has happened since Obamacare began implementation! Health Insurance monthly premiums have shot UP between 33% to 35%!!! I'm a Financial Strategist and I sell it!!! Health Care costs will only go UP for the average Joe! Just wait and see!!!

Now that you have asked me a completely different question – I don't think I have an "ideal Republican Candidate". They are all credible candidates, but Romney clearly outspent the rest. If I had cloning powers, I'd mix in Santorum, Romney, Paul, and Perry into a *best-of-the-best* clone. In the end, Romney got the numbers to get it done. In office it will be hard for him to undo a lot of Obama's socialism, but he will try.

At least here in America you can be an *illegal* and get free, immediate care at the County Hospital. And, where do the wealthy Canadians for for major surgeries? You guessed it – America. My wife is Belarusian – oh the horror stories! I really don't think you want full-blown socialized medicine in this country.
