Lotteries a threat to federal Web poker bill?

In the battle for online gambling in cyberspace, Nevada casinos and multiple state lotteries could be close to a showdown — one that will shape the U.S. gaming industry forever.

The lottery, referred to as "the most popular form of gambling in the world" by Illinois Lottery Superintendent Michael Jones, just months ago broke ground on the Web. Jones, who was speaking on a panel at G2E held Monday in Las Vegas, has so far seen about 100,000 people in his state use the Internet to buy tickets.

Lotteries are powerful entities, gaining acceptance from the residents of a state because a large chunk of the money they lose goes to "good causes," as lottery directors say.

In order to generate even greater revenues, lotteries are also eying casino gambling. Some in Illinois want it under the control and supervision of the lotto. In Delaware, which has legalized web gambling, a synergy will be formed between the lotto and the three local casinos. The District of Columbia once had online poker approved under the control of its lotto, but the law was reversed under a cloud of controversy.

On the other side of the aisle are Nevada and California, who have strong casino interests vying for control of the U.S. web poker market. Despite legalizing it for intrastate business, gaming executives in the Silver State want a federal bill. Not surprisingly, Nevada Sen. Harry Reid is behind efforts on Capitol Hill, and he's trying to exclude the lotteries from the game.

In response, the lotteries have talked about lobbying together against a federal bill, according to Scarlet Robinson, an Internet gaming consultant and owner of Rungood Gaming LLC. The lotteries also don't want any legislation to limit games to only poker.

However, unlike the casino giants located in the U.S. pushing for such authorization, state lotteries don't have the lobbying money to oppose a Reid bill with equal force, according to Rick Weil, president of Scientific Games, a maker of lotto systems.

The lotteries' motivation stems from the fear of an aging customer base. The era of Facebook's "social" gaming, as well as a once healthy, but illegal, U.S. web poker industry, has created a fear that younger generations just don't have an interest the lotto.

In an effort to further protect its future, the Illinois lotto will soon launch on mobile devices. The goal is "seductive" front-ends that will one day help replace the baby boomers.

A Nevada casino and a state lotto are now on the cusp of offering similar products.

"The notion that lotteries and casinos are separate industries is outdated," Michael Pollock, managing director of Spectrum Gaming Group, said at the G2E conference.

Once separated by the types of brick-and-mortar joints where the gambling occurred, both will tap into the Internet to appeal to the same demographic.

While lotteries shun web poker run by the feds, some are busy with their own battles on a more local level. In Maryland, the convenient store chain 7-Eleven has "drawn a line in the sand" against Internet lottery tickets, said Stephen Martino, the leader of the state's gambling industry.

According to Martino, Maryland doesn't have a "firm stance" on current federal online gaming efforts, but it wants "states rights" to be preserved. The state recently flirted with the idea of legalizing web casino games for itself.

"States want max profit and more control," Robinson said. "They don't want the feds in gaming."

Nevada, which doesn't have a lottery, also wants power in how it regulates web gambling but only so that its casinos can leverage their exclusive right to intrastate Internet poker by making southern Nevada the hub of a nationwide network. Nevada-based companies also have longstanding relationships with gambling in California and New Jersey.

With widespread Internet lottery sales likely to help escalate jackpots to unprecedented heights, brands will only grow stronger with time. Jones said he envisions a purse reaching $1 billion in the future, which could even attract casino gamblers who wouldn't typically play the lotto.

It will wind up like everything else, the ones who have the most money to promote their side will win.

They need to talk about better games for the players.  Those online poker sites..are sucky at best.

I Agree!

This will probably never get solved. Uncle Sam is getting $ from both sides and it would make no sense to favor one side. Nevada should start their own pb/mm game if they lose.

Even though Online Gambling is making its way to the top, still a lot of lottery players are playing manually.  They are after the thrill and excitement seeing how their numbers are playing...

The Republican Party platform calls for a ban on all Internet gambling including state lotteries so it depends on who wins the Presidential election next month.

Thanks Stack, I guess I am now no longer undecided on who to vote for.

As for online poker, i think thats stupid.  How can you trust the computer programs?  Although the same can be said of RNG's i suppose, but i wouldn't trust it.  Good thing New York still has good ole fashioned balls.  But i would really prefer the option of buying tickets online.

If 7-11 is so intent on drawing a line in the sand then maybe they should have some sort of freebie offer for buying in store, such as a BOGO offer.

The Justice Department, through its interpretation of the Wire Act, has already virtually opened the door to internet gambling and it's extremely doubtful with the mess we're in from the current administration that the new administration would waste any time acting on one obscure sentence added to the Platform to assuage a special interest group when Platforms are routinely ignored.

No one swears any oath to uphold or enforce any item in any Platform and very few even pay any attention to it. Dam* few read it or have any idea what's in it. It's largely ceremonial and soon forgotten. Most people know what each party's general principles and core values are and don't have to look up chapter and verse to find out.

And even if it were a looming threat (which it isn't), anybody who would cast their vote to ensure a convenience in lottery playing over the survival of the nation in one of the most dangerous times in world history would have to be a complete imbecile.

If you are undecided and dont know who to vote for than just think who of the two candidates is the lesser of the two

 

Manchurians.

 

If you are a lottery player,

Vote Democrat

Not repugnikan.

 

Besides the only sane vote is for ron paul.

But the insane establishment would never let a sane man on the ballot.  Who would of thunk?

Sorry to break it to you Ridge, but there is a slight chance, maybe the odds of winning the PB chance, that you or anybody can do anything to save the nation. 

We dont have enough money.

We dont have enough guns.

We dont have enough love.

And we cant agree on what it takes to even win the lottery.

I know ridge, if you and your conservative cronies had their way they would ban chocolate milk in the cafeterias at school. 

Of course if you were in office they would replace it with Baileys.

"Sorry to break it to you... but there is a slight chance... that you or anybody can do anything to save the nation."

So said King George and all his yeomen.

 

"We dont have enough money. "

Oh, we have plenty of money.

 

"We dont have enough guns."

Oh, we have plenty of guns.

 

"We dont have enough love."

"What's Love Got To Do With It?"

"And we cant agree on what it takes to even win the lottery."

That don't matter a hill o' beans.

 

"I know ridge, if you and your conservative cronies had their way they would ban chocolate milk in the cafeterias at school."

I can see you don't follow politics after that remark.

Or current events.

The Democrats and Liberals (redundant, I know) have already banned chocolate milk in school cafeterias along with soda and candy.

They are forcing the kids to take vegetables they don't want now with the school lunch and the kids dump them in the garbage.

Now they are installing cameras by the garbage cans to see who is not eating the food that the government has ordered them to eat.

That is the kind of world the Democrats want us to live in.

That is the kind of world that "me and my Conservative Cronies" have always stood against.

 

"Of course if you were in office they would replace it with Baileys."

I'm glad to see that you're not totally without redeeming qualities.

"...the only sane vote is for ron paul."

You said "sane" and "Ron Paul" in the same sentence, lol. That's rich. The guy who wants to dismantle our military in today's dangerous world.

Isn't Obama dismantling it fast enough? Hell, our navy is already down to the size it was in 1917 and he's going to cut another half trillion dollars out of the military across the board on January 1st when Sequestration starts. 

 

"If you are a lottery player,

Yeah, base your vote on a rumor about the lottery, not the fate of the nation.

Makes perfect sense.

Maybe the lottery will survive after the economy collapses.  Crazy

 

"With all the turmoil in the Middle East and world wide It seems that Democrats and Republicans cant stop their murderous ways and blood lust..."

Yeah, we're the bad guys, us d*mn Americans.

We should stop hijacking their planes and flying them into their buildings and killing their innocent people with all our murderous ways and blood lust.

 

"...dont murder Big Bird.Turkey"

Nobody's out to murder Big Bird. But he's a big enough bird to support himself like all the other kiddie shows that don't get the luxury of confiscating money from people's paychecks every week to keep them on the air along with a bunch of liberal yappers who couldn't make it in the free market.

If there's a big enough audience for Big Bird and the lib yappers to attract advertisers they'll survive like every other show does. But to force taxpayers to donate money to keep them all on life-support is ridiculous. Especially when we have to borrow the money from China to do it.

Actually I do keep up with some current events.  I did see the 7 year olds having their hands scanned at the cafeteria line. ( NWO Indoctrination)

As far as the military goes.  It doesn't matter how big your military is if as on 9-11, the brass in charge yells "STAND DOWN!!"

You can have the most HUMONGOUS military in the world.  Its still not gonna protect you from false flag attacks.

Apparntly you dont remember your history.  The gulf of tonkin and the reichstag?

I thought you were a Republican?  Ron Paul is not a good enough patriot for you?  Go ahead vote for Obama again.

But I am totally for Carolans at lunch time.  It would give me something to look foward to after all those teachers put me to sleep.

Keeping up with current events and keeping up with conspiracy theories are two different things. One's informative, one's loony.

I see you're committed to the Ron Paul strategy of dismantling the military, sticking our heads in the sand and hoping for the best. Yeah, that'll work. Maybe if we're nice to the religious fanatics who are committed to destroy us, they'll change their minds and be happy shiny people.

I know all about false flags and The Reichstag and the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. What's the point?

You think I'm a Republican and then you tell me to go ahead and vote for Obama again?  ??? ??? ???

Ron Paul is a patriot? Patriots don't disarm and hope for the best while leaving their families and nation unprotected against bloodthirsty madmen who have pledged to kill us all. Patriots defend their countries.

The point is that all war is staged illusion.

Patriots dont start illigitimate wars looking for imaginary WMD.

Ron Paul is for defending the constitution.  Something that Bush and Obama are pretty good at trying to desecrate.

Dont forget those blood thirsty madmen, work for the C.I.A.  Maybe you didn't know we trained osama bin laden to be a great terrorist.  So we could defend ourselves from the Soviet Union.

Its not a conspiracy theory when its true.

Conspiracy theory is a term the establishment uses to slander people as loony instead of revealing the true facts.

Invading Iraq, Syria, Egypt, possibly Iran, doesn't make me feel any safer.  I bet you believe we need to invade IRAN so we can be safe.

Ron Paul doesn't believe we should be the policeman of the world.  Thats called facism.  Maybe you should read up on your history again.

Maybe you just like being groped by the TSA when you go on flights, and living in a total recall type of world.  No thank you.

People are just people wherever you go.  Maybe you would learn that if you get out of them darn hills.

Like wow man, if I ever start dropping acid I'll come back and contemplate that one, dude. Far out. Gnarly. Rad. Groovy.

 

"Patriots dont start illigitimate wars looking for imaginary WMD."

Yeah, I know. They should throw down their weapons and hope for the best while hiding with the women and children. If worse comes to worse, they could just beg and plead for their lives, right? Cuz once they disarm themselves they pretty much have to do whatever the bad guys tell them to do. Sounds like fun.

 

"Ron Paul is for defending the constitution."

Ron Paul is fine with domestic policy and the Constitution as it pertains to it.

On foreign policy however - he's a nutjob.

A very dangerous nutjob with chronic tunnel vision.

 

"Invading Iraq, Syria, Egypt, possibly Iran, doesn't make me feel any safer."

I'm glad, cuz we never invaded Syria or Egypt or Iran.

 

"Ron Paul doesn't believe we should be the policeman of the world.  Thats called facism.  Maybe you should read up on your history again."

Unilaterally disarming and hoping for the best is not good foreign policy strategy - it's a death wish.

And if you think Ron Paul is some kind of saint you should check out his racist rants sometime - http://www.loop21.com/top-5-racist-ron-paul-quotes-newsletter . And when a racist gets in power his racism soon turns to fascism. 

 

"People are just people wherever you go."

No they're not. There are some very dangerous people in this world who are intent on killing us, who are kept at bay by people willing to do what you think we ought not to do. And those are the people who provide the secure bubble from whence you safely pontificate about the error of their ways.

No we didn't invade Syria or Egypt, we only funded, provided weapons and assisted members of the Muslim Brotherhood and Al queda to rise up against their own governments.  The same madmen you are afraid of, we are still assisting.  How ironic.

Defending our borders and airspace is absolutely essential.

Forcing our philosophies and regimes down the throats of middle east countries, is utterly insane, and putting us in harms way.

As long as we maintain our military's strength, we have no business telling the rest of the world how to govern themselves.

With record deficits, our economy going down the toilet, and a moral crises to contend with, don't we have enough of our own problems?

Stop pissing countries off? How? Like not hijacking their planes and flying them into their skyscrapers? Like that?

Is there a chance maybe you could tell them that?

Or should we apologize for polluting their lands with our Christian presence while we developed their oil industry and built all their oil wells for them so they could get rich and start exporting their hate?

We should hope that they may have a tendency to leave us alone?

No, we are Americans, we lead, we don't cower in the corner hoping the bad guys will leave us alone and pick on somebody else. Do you live your life like that? I don't.

Why do libs always think that we're the bad guys? 

Exactly how do we stop pissing them off? The Egyptians hate us and we give them billions in aid every year. Is that pissing them off? Or is it their nutty religion? You tell me. We give aid to the Palestinians and Hamas on a regular basis also and they danced in the streets when they saw the towers fall. They hate our guts. Osama Bin Laden is like a national hero there.

You can't hope for love from people like these.

You have to command respect.

And showing indecisiveness and vacillation and limp-wristed resolve with a military in decline and retreat to these people is like an old lion limping in front of a pack of hyenas - when they detect weakness they go in for the kill. They don't care what you used to be - if you show weakness - you're dead meat.

Some people in life just have to be kept in line or they'll do bad things; we all know people like that. You can't let them push you around or it will only get worse. That's just a fact of life. Some people just won't act right unless you keep your boot on their neck, and that will never change.

And one thing is for sure, if you don't keep your boot on their neck, they will sooner or later have their boot on yours.

My source was the Poker Players Alliance that doesn't care which party is in control as long as they pass an Internet Poker Bill. They were equally disappointed when the Democrats failed to mention Internet gaming on their platform.

However there is a huge difference between being silent on a subject and being openly opposed. I'm pretty sure the American people in this election as well as in every other election will vote for the candidate who they believe will benefits them the most regardless what other voters think.

Besides the only sane vote is for ron paul.

But the insane establishment would never let a sane man on the ballot.  Who would of thunk?

 

P.S.  With all the turmoil in the Middle East and world wide It seems that Democrats and Republicans cant stop their murderous ways and blood lustRed Devil, but please please, please

 

dont murder Big Bird.Turkey

I mentioned the Republican Party platform because someone said they are interested in how it will play out. Speaker of the House John Boehner said he has never read a platform and as Rdgrnr said, platforms are not written in stone. If Internet gaming is your deciding factor, it depends if you think Romney would veto or sign an Internet Gaming Bill.

Personally I'd rather try to pick winning lottery numbers than to try to pick the winner in presidential elections.

As long as we maintain our military's strength, we have no business telling the rest of the world how to govern themselves.

With record deficits, our economy going down the toilet, and a moral crises to contend with, don't we have enough of our own problems?

You make far too much sense... which means Ridge will likely accuse you of being a flaming liberal.

We do not need to rule the world with an iron fist.  Furthermore, given the nature of the threats today, a huge military may hinder us more than it would help.  For the most part, our enemies are not nations, they are individuals and small groups, and we need to be nimble so that we can target them while minimizing collateral damage.

Well, I know the American people are smart enough to put the survival of the nation ahead of a false rumor about the lottery when they vote. Just because the Poker Players Alliance which is apparently composed of incredibly stupid people focused on a single dimensional issue is advocating for the Democrats, it doesn't foretell a sea change in voting preferences. Stupid people will always vote for stupid things.

And let's face it, the Democrats have had the "stupid vote" wrapped up for a long, long time now.

F**K That mediabrat. I agree with ridge.  Our military is nearly not big enough.  I think we should raise taxes to ensure we finally have the biggest military in the world.   I think we should never settle for being number two.  I mean F**K what the rest of the world thinks.  When will we finally have the biggest goddarn military in the world? I dunno.

I mean when  9-11 happened we didn't have not one single plane to scramble! Ridge is right our military was too small to scramble.  BIGGER!!! BETTER!! BADDER!!

(Maybe Ridge doesn't realize but since an airplane once crashed into the EMPIRE STATE building, all large skyscrapers are engineered to withstand the impact of large airplanes) 

And WTC building 7 coveniently collapses in a controlled demolition after Larry Silverstein the lease holder orders the building to be pulled.  Explain that one ridge. And FEMA clean up crews were in N.Y. the Monday before 9-11 to prepare for cleanup.  Explain that one ridge.  Oh FOX news told you?  Wow thanks that cleared it up for me. Just do a search for TOM KENNEY one of the Fema clean up crew.

  As a matter of fact it already is the biggest!!  But it should be bigger!!  And we should put our boot on the neck of the world too!  And thrust it down with a vigourous crunch. Long live the New World Order.

But i digress.  I just want to play my lottery game online.  Is that too much to ask?

Get a load o' this:

"...given the nature of the threats today, a huge military may hinder us more than it would help."

Who gave ya that pearl of wisdom? Governor Moonbeam? Al(massage down there please)Gore? Michael Dukakis? John(Horseface)Kerry? Harry(GirlyVoice)Reid? Nancy(BotoxMonster)Pelosi? Bawney Fwank? Not exactly a West Pointer, are ya son? 

 

Here's another gem:

"...we need to be nimble so that we can target them while minimizing collateral damage."

Jiminy Christmas, I don't even know where to start on that one. That was Jimmy (the Peanut Picker) Carter's strategy. And it was a colossal failure. He cut our military to ribbons, just as you advocate, and the buzzards started to circle overhead immediately. The hyenas and jackals of the world saw that and followed suit. That was the last time before just recently that we had an American Ambassador killed. It was under Carter because he was weak and chicken-livered just like Obama. That's also when the hyenas in Iran overran our embassy and took our diplomats hostage for 444 days. They were released the day Ronald Reagan took office. Why? Because they knew Reagan wouldn't play games and beg and negotiate from a position of weakness like Carter did and like Obama does. 

 

Tell ya what, son, just play your video games and march in your marches and leave the masculine things to the men. You remind me of the King's son in the movie Braveheart. Or maybe his boyfriend who flew out the window.

Believe all the conspiracy theories you want, it doesn't change anything in the real world, only yours. If there are monsters under your bed and in your closet and you're abducted by aliens on occasion who probe you into nirvana, it makes no difference to me.

You can believe King Kong really climbed the Empire State Bldg and swatted planes like flies, yeah, I really don't care.

Elvis is alive and working at Arby's in Ann Arbor Michigan? Fine with me.

Black Helicopters track your every move? Oh well.

I realize there's no talking sense to nutjob conspiracy theorists who think there's government agents following them everywhere and space aliens probing them while they sleep.

But just because you spend your life in fear, kowtowing to bullies and doing what you're told to do in fear of an ass-whooping doesn't mean the rest of us should adopt your way of life. There are cowards in every society and in every generation of every society. They just have to be told to shut up and stay out of the way while the men take care of business.

The world is going up in flames and Americans are being brutally murdered because of a weak President and we have a chance to rid ourselves of him next month.

And what is your main concern amidst all of this? -- "I just want to play my lottery game online.  Is that too much to ask?"

As for "a false rumor",

"Millions of Americans suffer from problem or pathological gambling that can destroy families. We support the prohibition of gambling over the Internet and call for reversal of the Justice Department's decision distorting the formerly accepted meaning of the Wire Act that could open the door to Internet betting."

It's on page 32 of the Republican Party Platform. http://www.gop.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/2012GOPPlatform.pdf

Do you believe "millions of Americans" are pathological gamblers or that the 47% of voters paying zero in taxes will vote for Obama when nation wide 55% of voters 65 and older (the majority of them paying zero in Federal taxes) voted for McCain in 2008?

If the Republican Party is more intelligent, why is their math wrong?

The math in Kentucky is simple whether my reasons for voting one way or the other is based on one issue, several issues, or a coin flip; Romney will get all 8 KY electoral votes.

You need more help than I can give ya.

He put the kibosh on the operation 3 times previously on orders from Valerie Jarrett, his wife's girlfriend, you know, the one who really runs the country.

Do you honestly believe he had anything to do with that besides saying "ok" on the 4th occasion they had him located and then scurrying in front of the cameras to tell the world that he  got Bin Laden? Really?

I thought you were smarter than that.

Ya know, old dopey Joe Biden likes to chant a slogan:  "General Motors is alive - Bin Laden is dead!"

Maybe Romney ought to chant a slogan too:   "Al Qaeda is alive - Ambassador Stevens is dead!"

Because that's the dirty little secret that the Obama doesn't want us to know - that our enemies are alive and well and gaining strength to fill the vacuum when Obama decimates our military and ability to project power to vital areas of the world.

The hyenas are gathering and the buzzards are circling overhead.

I've read the Platform before, Stack, and it's clear which way you will vote regardless of which way your state goes.

So your lobbying for Obama here for my benefit wasn't necessary.

But you knew that.

And the "false rumor" didn't pertain to the plank being in the platform but rather if the plank in the Platform would carry any weight (which it won't).

But you knew that too.

But you got your "evidence" out there and that's what's important (to you).

To keep the false rumor going anyway.

Cuz you know there are always a few stupid people here, ripe for the taking.   

The hell with the country. Me, me, me.

LB, you'll do very well by just leaving it alone. Any reasonable, level-headed individual should be able to find some good in BOTH CANDIDATES no matter what the good may be. I was actually very pleased to see Gov. Romney step with such an extreme aggression as he did...he actually HAD to for the masses.

However, I'm sure you remember Mohammed Ali and his boxing strategy called the "Rope-A-Dope". Lure his opponent in, let him pound on him while he hugs the ropes. The masses get all happy and the opponent thinks he's doing very well...winning even.

I'm not in favor of dismantling the military.  I just don't want to conquer the world, nor do I find it necessary to do so.  You, on the other hand, want to drop a bomb on the Middle East that would make the atomic bombs we dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like firecrackers.

The idea that Reagan secured the release of the Iranian hostages -- whether directly or because Iran was scared of him -- is yet another fiction perpetuated by the spin artists in the Republican party.  Iran gave in because they needed money for their war against Iraq and the US agreed to turn over several billion dollars in Iranian assets that had been frozen in American banks after the embassy was invaded.  The release of the hostages on Inauguration Day was merely a coincidence.

More importantly, the Algiers Accords -- the agreement that ended the hostage crisis -- included a provision that the US would stay out of Iran's internal affairs.  The US's insistence upon sticking its nose in everyone else's business is one of the chief reasons why we have so many enemies.  Did it ever occur to anyone that they'll be happy to leave us alone provided we leave them alone?  Nah, why do that when we can conquer the world and rule it with an iron fist?

I don't recall calling you any names. I probably wanted to though and forgot.

But I just skimmed over your post again and it's all pretty much the same liberal talking points and loony conspiracy theories that you all recite, isn't it?

Basically that the Democrats are brave and dashing heroes and Reagan was dumb and all of that, right?

Yeah, that's what I thought so just do a search of my past posts if you'd like a response cuz I've probably addressed all of that wacky stuff a million times before and de-constructed all the drooling morons who posted it too while I was at it.

Well, LB, you've learned a personal lesson pretty fast!! Just leave the debating to the candidates in question. Here's my personal view:

The world is the patient and was very, very sick WELL BEFORE the current doctor took the case. All sorts of "economic remedies and prescriptions" have been administered in their proper dosages. Now, we all know that medications cost money...and more money HAD to be FURTHER borrowed to implement the medicines and recovery therapies.

All sicknesses are recovery- dependent upon several things: the NATURE of the sickness, the EXTENT of the sickness, CONDITION of the body (immune system), strength of the medication, and the ATTENTIVENESS of the doctor towards a successful and full recovery. No sickness heals instantly I don't care how much the medicine costs, or, who the doctor may be. It takes time and the patient cannot be rushed to heal...won't happen. Healing is a slow process and the more damage there is, the longer it takes.

If there was absolutely NO HEALING, I'd say we have a serious problem. However, I can look at the patient's records (numbers) and factually see that healing is taking place everyday...just at a slow pace. Which is more acceptable? Slow healing or no healing? Some "vital organs" have already been saved within the patient's body, I might add. With healing currently taking place, the current doctor doesn't need to keep going over his remedies and prescriptions because they're working...just not as fast as some may like. Patience.

Now, if people want to debate the speediness of the recovery, that's beyond the doctor's control due to the factors already mentioned. Another doctor is claiming to magically be able to heal the same patient at a much faster rate without spending any more money on medication or therapy. Personally, I don't know if this doctor's method of healing will work because none of the medications, therapies, and treatments have been discussed in any detail. Furthermore, other doctors that have carefully examined what little information that was dissemminated have confirmed that it won't work, and, could quite possibly re-injure the patient.

Also, the doctor in question has a current history of just "giving up" on other "organs" and simply shipping them off to be healed elsewhere. A calm doctor is more attentive and efficient than an overly aggressive and uncaring one...although he may speak as though he's concerned about the patient. So, there you go. You have the doctors and the patient in question...and must decide if one get's the shot at either continued treatments, or, another one with a supposedly better and magically fast method of treating. It's on you.

Well, LB, you've learned a personal lesson pretty fast!! Just leave the debating to the candidates in question. Here's my personal view:

The world is the patient and was very, very sick WELL BEFORE the current doctor took the case. All sorts of "economic remedies and prescriptions" have been administered in their proper dosages. Now, we all know that medications cost money...and more money HAD to be FURTHER borrowed to implement the medicines and recovery therapies.

All sicknesses are recovery- dependent upon several things: the NATURE of the sickness, the EXTENT of the sickness, CONDITION of the body (immune system), strength of the medication, and the ATTENTIVENESS of the doctor towards a successful and full recovery. No sickness heals instantly I don't care how much the medicine costs, or, who the doctor may be. It takes time and the patient cannot be rushed to heal...won't happen. Healing is a slow process and the more damage there is, the longer it takes.

If there was absolutely NO HEALING, I'd say we have a serious problem. However, I can look at the patient's records (numbers) and factually see that healing is taking place everyday...just at a slow pace. Which is more acceptable? Slow healing or no healing?

Good Lord, wouldn't it have been easier to just say you support Obama than to put us all through that? You could have helped them write a few thousand pages of Obamacare with a droning diatribe like that. I'm sure they're always looking for a few good windbags to produce further reams of mumbo-jumbo, so Nancy Pelosi can say we need to pass it now and read it later to see what's in it.

And your doctor analogy didn't include the modality Obama is using on the patient right now → → Euthanasia.

Thanks, ridge. I appreciate your input and respect your views as well. A few posts back, no one said a word about how much detail you went into with discrediting the president on pretty much every issue. As such, you could've just said you support Gov. Romney and don't believe that Obama has accomplished nothing in your book. We both simply elaborated in our own ways.

I've read the Platform before, Stack, and it's clear which way you will vote regardless of which way your state goes.

So your lobbying for Obama here for my benefit wasn't necessary.

But you knew that.

And the "false rumor" didn't pertain to the plank being in the platform but rather if the plank in the Platform would carry any weight (which it won't).

But you knew that too.

But you got your "evidence" out there and that's what's important (to you).

To keep the false rumor going anyway.

Cuz you know there are always a few stupid people here, ripe for the taking.   

The hell with the country. Me, me, me.

"Lotteries a threat to federal Web poker bill?

Who I'll vote for 5 or 6 times on November 6 has no relevance to this topic. 

The Poker Players Alliance goal is to make it legal for U.S. poker players to deposit funds into an online account and play poker on the Internet in the privacy of their homes. If state lotteries offer online poker, the PPA has accomplished part of their goal, but Federal legislation is still the main goal because the lotteries will restrict their play to state residence.

Even if the anti-Internet gambling plank in the National Republican Party platform is a useless waste of space paragraph, it's still a slap in the face to the millions of U.S. Poker players.

"Cuz you know there are always a few stupid people here, ripe for the taking.

I have no clue how many LP members played online poker for real money, but the conservative estimate before the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 was 10 million U.S. poker players. The last time I looked at the polls the race to 270 was close and it's possible the PPA in reporting the Republican Party plank in their August newsletter to their 3 million plus membership, swayed some undecided voters.

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what." --- Mitt Romney

It's obvious Romney knew the undecided voters will determine this election yet he allowed members of his own party to add a plank that could possibly cause his defeat.

"The hell with the country. Me, me, me."

People said the same thing when both the 18th and 21st Amendments were ratified and someone will always say it when their vote is in the minority. After the Great Depression, 15,761,841 people voted for Herbert Hoover. It's all part of the "Great Experiment" started in the late 18th century.

Though it wasn't my intention by relaying factual information from the PPA to persuade someone's vote, it really doesn't matter because the First Amendment gives all of us that right.

I've never hidden my political proclivities, everybody knows very well where I stand and I don't have to discredit the President because he does a great job of that all by himself. I can understand though, the embarrassment you must feel in supporting an abject failure like him. But if you really like those easy to get food stamps with no requirements, well, there's no getting around it, he's your man. And I hear those Hot Pockets are really good! None for me though, thanks, I'm watching my salt.

And I'm not saying Obama hasn't accomplished anything in my book, he's accomplished plenty. He just hasn't accomplished anything that's good for the country. Everything he's accomplished has been bad for the country. And that's exactly the way he wanted it to be.

Anybody who claims to love this country but votes for Obama is an insufferable moron because Obama is out to destroy this country.

And thank God there are people who will put their own selfish personal interests aside for the good of the country and vote him out.

Thank God for real American Patriots.

Well Stack, you got your rhetoric and propaganda out there again. There's really no need to address it to me. Just give your speech.

I'm sure there could be a few old card players with gambling problems like you here that you might influence, who knows?

And maybe if your man Obama wins you'll get your wish of online poker, taxpayer funded abortions, Sodomite Marriage and a decimated military all in one bill. And a young liberal-activist Supreme Court to make sure nobody can ever change any of it.

Good work buddy, keep at it.

You're a great American.

Okay, I'll bite. The perfect combination would be Romney and Bush...hands down. Do you support this idea? If not, then why? Didn't Bush leave us with a $surplus$ and record low unemployment rate? Who was on the watch when 9/11 took place...and had forewarning of an imminent threat but played it down? Did they ever find those weapons of mass destruction in Baghdad? Why isn't anyone praising Bush for all his accomplishments if he did such a good job? This man was in office for (8) years, and NO ONE EVEN CARED TO HAVE HIM SPEAK AT THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. 

He wasn't even via satellite. He wasn't EVEN THERE. Rather, he had a smallish clip made. HIS DAD wasn't even there and they served as presidents back to back of each other. Help me to under all this because I know you have all the answers.

OK, Mr. Loser, I see you're cut from the same cloth as your lying weasel hero. How do I know? Cuz you're a lying, sniveling, weasel-like loser just like him.

Which means all you ever talk about is how everything bad that ever happens is Bush's fault and everything good that ever happens is Obama's success.

You don't have the character or self-respect to tell the truth about the man cuz you're a sniveling little slimy puke just like him. A real Texas Dandy. Loser is a good name for ya, I see why you chose it, it fits.

I don't need to hear all your whining and sniveling about WMD's and "Bush lied, people died" for the 6 millionth friggin' time. Put a lid on that garbage, junior.

Listen real close now, numbnuts: BUSH AIN'T RUNNIN' FOR OFFICE, YOU INSUFFERABLE MORON PUKE!!!

You know ridge this is a very naive statement.  I thought you had more wisdom than that.

Do you think the President really has any power any more?  Do you really think Obama makes policy? The last president that actually was showing some power  and creating some of his own policies was JFK and look what happened to him.  All presidents since JFK, more or less kowtow to the military industrial complex.  The real power real lies with the lobbyists and the bankers and corporations they represent.  War is good money!  You can bomb in the name of democracy.  Take the money, gold, and resources, and create a whole lot of resentment and new terrorists at the same time to continue the war on terror.  A never ending cycle.

You think Romney is any different?   The first thing on Romneys agenda will be to have pre-emptive attack on Iran.  Not because Romney wants to, but because of those pulling the strings.  You think the same masterminds of the 9-11 attacks are not still plotting?  You think they still dont lurk within the government? (And ridge you still never explainted WTC number 7).  Romney is already bought.  He wont live up to his claims as no president ever does.  They all run on the model of bait and switch.

And let me tell you the Iranians will not be afraid of Romney like Reagan.( like your farfetched claims), because romney never played a cowboy in hollywood, and Reagan was a bad ass scary ass cowboy.  I mean if i had hostages i would give them up too.  One look from the gipper and I would be like "Allah save us!"

All I can say is that Obama is a wolf in sheeps clothing.  And Romney will simply be the wolf.

Anybody who claims to love this country but votes for Obama is an insufferable moron because Obama is out to destroy this country.

Again, naivety.  Romney will be an even bigger puppet then Obama. And more dangerous for the security of the world, less alone the U.S., because Romney has already sold out.  Just look at his major contributors.  But you already know all this oh wise oracle.

I wish you considered common sense as much as all those fairy tales and conspiracy theories you get from moveon and all the other leftwing loony sites.

They're warpin' your mind, son.

But I'm not gonna waste any time trying to convince you of anything cuz you don't vote anyway and even if you did, you live in the land of the people who elect giants like Anthony (Hey! Look what I got!) Weiner and Chuck (The Schmuck) Schumer and Mikey (small soda) Bloomberg, so you probably voted the same way.

And even if you did vote intelligently, it would just be cancelled out by the hordes of stupid people who vote Democrat everytime like mind-numbed robots anyway.

I dont need to vote Ridge.  I trust you to make the right decision upon my behalf and all the players on Lottery Post.

I trust you will make the correct decision come election day so i can play the lotto online.  And I think Poker Players should have the right to choose whether they want to play or not.  Big government doesn't have to babysit us all the time you know.

If government had the common sense to allow us the choice of gaming online, then they might also have the common sense to find some of those terrorists they are always blabbing about in a droning endless mantra.

OK, Mr. Loser, I see you're cut from the same cloth as your lying weasel hero. How do I know? Cuz you're a lying, sniveling, weasel-like loser just like him.

Which means all you ever talk about is how everything bad that ever happens is Bush's fault and everything good that ever happens is Obama's success.

You don't have the character or self-respect to tell the truth about the man cuz you're a sniveling little slimy puke just like him. A real Texas Dandy. Loser is a good name for ya, I see why you chose it, it fits.

I don't need to hear all your whining and sniveling about WMD's and "Bush lied, people died" for the 6 millionth friggin' time. Put a lid on that garbage, junior.

Listen real close now, numbnuts: BUSH AIN'T RUNNIN' FOR OFFICE, YOU INSUFFERABLE MORON PUKE!!! 

Wake the f*** up, stupid!

Now, we're talkin'...and good job with the names. You're too easy...very easily wound up over politics which none of us have any control or reasonable influence over. The political process is nothing like it used to be...and should be.

"everything bad that happens is Bush's fault and everything good that ever happenes is Obama's success."

From what I've read in pretty much all your posts, regarding Obama, everything bad that has and is happening in this country is Obama's fault. He's "weak". Quote, "I didn't say he hasn't accomplished anything, he just hasn't done anything good for the country." End quote.

"BUSH AIN'T RUNNIN' FOR OFFICE". This has nothing to do with my question regarding his significance as president for (2) terms, not being at the convention, and what state he left the economy in, in relation to how it was when he inherited it. Talk to me about surplus, jobs, and unemployment...deficit after he left. Can you do this for us? It should really be a cake walk.

Even some reasonable generalization of what he accomplished for the country will work for me. I know you can do it, ridge.

He will need to have his stomach pumped first to remove the poison moonshine.

Then he will need to be put on a diet of H20 and vitamins.

And the bacon grease will have to be removed from his ears. (we might as well remove the microchip at the same time).

Which of course is all obamas fault also.

And George W. Bush should run for a third term.  He was a perfect little messiah, with only moderate satanic tendencies.

And Nancy Pelosi should have a baby with Newt Gingrich, and it will be raised to be the savior of America.

You know ridge this is a very naive statement.  I thought you had more wisdom than that.

Do you think the President really has any power any more?  Do you really think Obama makes policy? The last president that actually was showing some power  and creating some of his own policies was JFK and look what happened to him.  All presidents since JFK, more or less kowtow to the military industrial complex.  The real power real lies with the lobbyists and the bankers and corporations they represent.  War is good money!  You can bomb in the name of democracy.  Take the money, gold, and resources, and create a whole lot of resentment and new terrorists at the same time to continue the war on terror.  A never ending cycle.

You think Romney is any different?   The first thing on Romneys agenda will be to have pre-emptive attack on Iran.  Not because Romney wants to, but because of those pulling the strings.  You think the same masterminds of the 9-11 attacks are not still plotting?  You think they still dont lurk within the government? (And ridge you still never explainted WTC number 7).  Romney is already bought.  He wont live up to his claims as no president ever does.  They all run on the model of bait and switch.

And let me tell you the Iranians will not be afraid of Romney like Reagan.( like your farfetched claims), because romney never played a cowboy in hollywood, and Reagan was a bad ass scary ass cowboy.  I mean if i had hostages i would give them up too.  One look from the gipper and I would be like "Allah save us!"

All I can say is that Obama is a wolf in sheeps clothing.  And Romney will simply be the wolf.

Anybody who claims to love this country but votes for Obama is an insufferable moron because Obama is out to destroy this country.

Again, naivety.  Romney will be an even bigger puppet then Obama. And more dangerous for the security of the world, less alone the U.S., because Romney has already sold out.  Just look at his major contributors.  But you already know all this oh wise oracle.

Man, I'm so glad that someone here has sense enough to see what's really going on! You're POUNDING the nail on the head, LB. We're essentially talkin' about a lesser of two evils here...POINT BLANK. Romney is just itching to launch an attack on Iran and we haven't even come close to leaving Afghanistan yet...and are still borderline with Iraq issues which tie into everything happeneing  as we speak.

Neither one can do anymore than all the entities around them will allow...and Romney will be told what he can do as well. Difference is that he will have lots more leverage due to his "like party". Our next war is already planned regardless of who takes office, but if it were up to one person, we'd be in Iran right now. In fact, based on his remarks about the killed ambassador and Obama's "weakness", he would've jumped all over that opportunity for war.

It goes on to no avail. I'm not claiming that Obama is so very good, but he's a lot less dangerous economically- speaking. We did much better when we kept our noses "clean"....out of the far east's affairs.

I found it to be very "low" to utilize a SEAL'S death to fight and campaign against Obama. As with other issues that Romney flipped the script on, and changed, he did it with this one as well. He dropped the story. I have to wonder why since it was so legitimate for him to use in the first place. Better yet, his own advisers allowed it to be used as well. All this during his high level campaign and this lady had to jump into his chest with both hands and feet for him to realize that it was just wrong.

Listen up, numbnuts. Stop worrying and fretting and sniveling about your fear of war with Iran, my delicate little flower.

When the time comes, just go hide with the women and children the way gutless cowards like you have always done through the ages.

I'm sure it's been a tradition with the males in your family for generations.

So don't get your lace panties in a bunch,  the men will take care of business.

Easy for you to say.  Being the wretched miser that you are, you certainly have NO WOMEN.  Which brings me to the logical reasonable conclusion that you also have no children.

I would assume that maybe you have some goats, and maybe a chicken. Considering your lonliness and general lack of human contact with real women, i would assume those goats and chickens come in mighty handy for you.

Well Stack, you got your rhetoric and propaganda out there again. There's really no need to address it to me. Just give your speech.

I'm sure there could be a few old card players with gambling problems like you here that you might influence, who knows?

And maybe if your man Obama wins you'll get your wish of online poker, taxpayer funded abortions, Sodomite Marriage and a decimated military all in one bill. And a young liberal-activist Supreme Court to make sure nobody can ever change any of it.

Good work buddy, keep at it.

You're a great American.

"Sodomite Marriage"

Marriage is a state's right issue and since I didn't live in Massachusetts while Romney was Governor and gay marriage became legal, it's none of my business. Even in very liberal California, the opponents put the "yes or no" issue on the state ballot, but Romney's answer was to resurrect a 90-year-old state law, aimed in part at preventing interracial marriage, to keep same-sex couples from flocking to Massachusetts for weddings. 

At least California tried, Romney tried to use a law that was declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1967 in the Loving vs Virginia case by unanimous decision. Will gay marriage be abolished just because Romney says so?

"and a decimated military all in one bill."

Wasn't Romney a Mormon missionary when most young men his age were being drafted and sent to Viet Nam?

"You're a great American."

Nope, I'm just an average American that took the step forward when they called my name. The thing is, I never complained or whined because Bill Clinton didn't serve even though most conservatives labeled him a draft dodger. And I'm not complaining because Romney was handing out Books of Mormon in France either.

BTW, why aren't the same "great American" conservatives calling Romney a draft dodger too? 

It's hypocritical how your same arguments of decimating the military used against Clinton just don't apply to Romney; maybe because there is a "R" behind his name?

Does that R stand for retard, or reject? Maybe it because Romney is a homophobe, that would rather put gay patriots in jail instead of letting them fight the islamic bogeymen that ridge is also afraid of. 

I mean gayness is a disease, romney is the cure.  Unless your a pedophile, in which case, mormonism would like to recruit you.

Just like Romney continues to do with seemingly no effort, you've put your foot not only in your mouth, but way down your throat. Boneheaded statements huh? Let's see, here. You said, and I quote, "anyone that votes for Obama is an insufferable moron." Wow! Are you assumming that all past and present service members are voting for Romney? What about those who have lost limbs and come back with mental issues needing psychological help? Are they all (R)? How about the retired Vets that voted for Obama in the last election?

How about Mrs. Gabrielle Gifford who was shot? Oh, yeah, she's (D), too, and her husband who's an astronaut. Morons, huh? What about the people at the convenience stores and grocery stores which bag your purchases...just every day average people trying to earn a living? Are they insufferable morons just because they may have, or, will will vote for Obama? So, it's okay for all those servicemembers to protect us...even giving their lives and limbs, but they have to be (R) or not vote at all in order to not be insufferable morons?

What about the elderly who are just trying to make it every month on what they get for years and years of service? If they vote for Obama, they are insufferable morons as well? All the teachers and college professors in this world that vote for Obama are insufferable morons? The meter readers for electricity and water...what about them?

Yep, you and Romney have everything in common. This is exactly the same reasoning regarding the 47% he mentioned in his private meeting...and he meant it just like you meant what you said. No regrets at all. "It's not my responsibility to care about those people" is what he said if my memory serves correctly. This is far from a true conservative. Extremist is more descriptive for both of you.

Yeah, I threw you a bone with the "back to back" deal. I'm a former serviceman and I know full well who was in office. You took an obvious "give me" just as Romney did. Now, go ahead and gnaw on this while you attempt to reverse this irreversible, and fatal damage you've inflicted yourself with.

By the way, BIG BIRD halloween costume sales are up by 500%. I suppose, now, Romney will buy out all the factories that make the costumes as well as the stores that are selling them.

He said, the 47 percent would probably not vote for him, because obama supporters do not pay income taxes, consider themselves victims, fell entitled to government handouts, and will never be persuaded to take personal responsibilty for their lives.

Ridge:  It is interesting how study after study shows that republicans give more money to charities and a higher percentage of their income as well.  It has been my life experience that the louder someone screams how liberal and pro women or pro minority they are because they are a democrat, the more bigoted they often are since they hide behind that label (Well I am a Dem!...I cannot be bigoted or unfair!  I am above being questioned!).  Let me work or deal with a conservative Republican any day who will judge me based on my skills in getting the job done.

I usually ask Dems when they scream about the poor, if they have ever done volunteer work in a homeless shelter (I have); donated their "free" time to charities (I have); or even made the time to take unwanted but usable items to shelters and to the Salvation Army vs selling them on Craigslist for a few dollars (I have).  Yet, these Dems always answer "no."

Lucky Loser

Hmmm, let's see. FOOD NOT BOMBS right here in Houston. Myself and (11) others, both (D) and (R) have taken food downtown and participated in such an effort. Strange thing is, we've been TICKETED for trying to help those less fortunate. Any old clothes to give to them directly rather than take them to the Salvation Army and get picked over. Decent clothing I might add...nothing all stained or ripped.

Any canned goods and non-perishable items...and lots of times, hot meals purchased locally. You see, reasonable people know how support either party, respect each other, and also get along while finding common grounds. It's really not hard to do at all.

The thing is, I never complained or whined because Bill Clinton didn't serve even though most conservatives labeled him a draft dodger. And I'm not complaining because Romney was handing out Books of Mormon in France either.

BTW, why aren't the same "great American" conservatives calling Romney a draft dodger too? 

It's hypocritical how your same arguments of decimating the military used against Clinton just don't apply to Romney; maybe because there is a "R" behind his name?

You wanna marry a man, go right ahead, Stack, I ain't opposed in the least.

I might even send you a microwave oven as a wedding present.

Cuz after your honeymoon you might want something that won't brown your meat. Wink

Does that R stand for retard, or reject? Maybe it because Romney is a homophobe, that would rather put gay patriots in jail instead of letting them fight the islamic bogeymen that ridge is also afraid of. 

I mean gayness is a disease, romney is the cure.  Unless your a pedophile, in which case, mormonism would like to recruit you.

Wow, I guess we'll just have to keep waiting for that cogent thought, won't we, numbnuts?

Just like Romney continues to do with seemingly no effort, you've put your foot not only in your mouth, but way down your throat. Boneheaded statements huh? Let's see, here. You said, and I quote, "anyone that votes for Obama is an insufferable moron." Wow! Are you assumming that all past and present service members are voting for Romney? What about those who have lost limbs and come back with mental issues needing psychological help? Are they all (R)? How about the retired Vets that voted for Obama in the last election?

How about Mrs. Gabrielle Gifford who was shot? Oh, yeah, she's (D), too, and her husband who's an astronaut. Morons, huh? What about the people at the convenience stores and grocery stores which bag your purchases...just every day average people trying to earn a living? Are they insufferable morons just because they may have, or, will will vote for Obama? So, it's okay for all those servicemembers to protect us...even giving their lives and limbs, but they have to be (R) or not vote at all in order to not be insufferable morons?

What about the elderly who are just trying to make it every month on what they get for years and years of service? If they vote for Obama, they are insufferable morons as well? All the teachers and college professors in this world that vote for Obama are insufferable morons? The meter readers for electricity and water...what about them?

Yep, you and Romney have everything in common. This is exactly the same reasoning regarding the 47% he mentioned in his private meeting...and he meant it just like you meant what you said. No regrets at all. "It's not my responsibility to care about those people" is what he said if my memory serves correctly. This is far from a true conservative. Extremist is more descriptive for both of you.

Yeah, I threw you a bone with the "back to back" deal. I'm a former serviceman and I know full well who was in office. You took an obvious "give me" just as Romney did. Now, go ahead and gnaw on this while you attempt to reverse this irreversible, and fatal damage you've inflicted yourself with.

By the way, BIG BIRD halloween costume sales are up by 500%. I suppose, now, Romney will buy out all the factories that make the costumes as well as the stores that are selling them.

LOL, you do a lot of yappin' for somebody who never says nothin' don'tcha princess? You're a joke.

Serviceman? Where? In the men's room at the greyhound station like your old man? LMAO!

You're a lyin' phony and a gutless coward just like your father was and your grandfather was, admit it.

You threw me a bone! Heh,heh,heh... You're not even a good liar.

I hope you're not mad at me though.

I hope this doesn't mean you don't want to share your hookers with me anymore.

" IT'S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO CARE ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE"

He said, the 47 percent would probably not vote for him, because obama supporters do not pay income taxes, consider themselves victims, fell entitled to government handouts, and will never be persuaded to take personal responsibilty for their lives.

AND GUESS WHAT NUMB #UTS...HE'S RIGHT!

"All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it -- that that's an entitlement." ---- Mitt Romney

There was no "probably" and he never said "handouts". That quote from Romney is all over the web, why didn't you just show the actual quote instead of changing the meaning?

That 47% paying zero in Federal taxes includes current members of our military serving overseas and many WWII, Korea, and Vietnam vets collecting Social Security. Most of the Vets 65 and older worked after discharged, paid their fair share in Federal taxes, and paid into SS. Would you rather see our aged veterans pay 14% of their yearly average $14,000 from SS income, the same percentage Romney paid on $21 million?

Lower the taxes on millionaires by raising the taxes on retired Vets, and increase military spending. That will pay off the Federal deficit.

Oh, you're right. He didn't say "it's not my responsibilty". He said, "It's not my JOB to care about the poor."

I was under the impression that a job and responsibilities went hand in hand. Sorry I wasn't clear, and down to the "T" with the quote. I guess the name calling thing runs deep. Glad I know how to hold a decent and intelligent conversation without trying to verbally degrade the other person. Seems that's the trend, but I have really thick skin...and I'm proud of it.

I usually ask Dems when they scream about the poor, if they have ever done volunteer work in a homeless shelter (I have); donated their "free" time to charities (I have); or even made the time to take unwanted but usable items to shelters and to the Salvation Army vs selling them on Craigslist for a few dollars (I have).  Yet, these Dems always answer "no."

You're absolutely right, Artist.

They talk about it.

We do it.

And the best part?

They actually think that all their yapping about it counts for actually doing something about it.

But if their yapping doesn't do the trick, they'll just lie and say they did something.

Any canned goods and non-perishable items...and lots of times, hot meals purchased locally. You see, reasonable people know how support either party, respect each other, and also get along while finding common grounds. It's really not hard to do at all.

Your right Stack, I should not have used the quote from MSN, They clearly have a liberal bias, so it would be them that changed the meaning, but yes, he is correct, many have the entitlement mentality,

Romney /Ryan are not raising taxes on SS, THEY are NOT going to stick it to those on SS to pay down the debt, They are not lowering taxes on Millionaires, they will lower taxes on small business and the middleclass, so they can hire more people, thus, creating new tax payers to help pay down the debt.

With the middle class having a tax break, they will have more money to spend on goods and services, thus helping the sagging economy.

They will open the government land for natural gas, coal, oil, so that our utility bills will be lower, we are currently being gouged by the government to to push the solar agenda, which was an epic failure, the people running those companies became millionaires all the while these companies went bankrupt. Oh and they were obama supporters who channeled some of the tax payer money right back into his campaign fund, wow! what a coincidence.

The 14 percent, thats on investment income, not earned income, or didn't you think I knew anything about how investment works?

If I sell my stocks at a profit, I pay 14 percent in taxes, I already paid taxes on that money as earned income the first time around.

If I sell my stock at a loss, I can only claim up to 3000 in write offs, and thats across the board for everyone.

They're plan is to get rid of stupid spending, like turtle tunnels and cement toilets that cost 45k a pop.

If anything I outed you for all that crap you posted about the your party's platform on anti-Internet gambling being meaningless. You can't have it both ways; are your party's planks on abortion, the war in Afghanistan, Medicare, and taxes meaningless too?

When I pointed out the fact marriage is a state issue whether or not the President supports it, you responded like a play grade school playground bully. Here's another fact Bully, Romney's grandfather didn't support traditional marriage either so he moved his family to Mexico along with his brothers and their multiple wives.

Your childish innuendos won't change the fact I've always been in favor of traditional marriage (between one man and one woman)and always thought those vehemently protesting gay marriage must fear the gays because they secretly harbor those same thoughts. Gay marriage has no effect on my legal Kentucky marriage (between one man and one woman). You ought to be ecstatic over the fact neither of the two men getting married in Massachusetts when Romney was Governor will become pregnant and get an abortion.

The topic here isn't about same gender marriage or the secret thoughts of the homophobic; it's about the fact the Republican Party went on record saying they want to abolish all forms of Internet gambling because in their own words "Millions of Americans suffer from problem or pathological gambling".

News flash Bully, only two states approved online ticket sales and only one state lottery was selling tickets online when that plank was written. Illinois certainly doesn't have "millions of pathological gamblers", millions of players buying tickets online and the Inernet poker sites closed their doors to U.S. players well over a year ago.

Who are the millions of pathological gamblers the Republican Party wants to "protect" by banning online gambling?

What I quoted were the words spoken by Mitt Romney at a fund raiser. How many people do you know 65 and older that are collecting the Social Security benefit they paid into and pay no taxes?

"Romney /Ryan are not raising taxes on SS"

That's nice to hear considering Ryan and the Republican House just raised the SS wage base by $3300 and raised the withholdings from 4.2% to 6.2% effective March 2012.

"In March 2012 6.2% and the Medicare tax rate of 1.45%, will change to 7.65% for 2012. The maximum social security tax that employees and employers will each pay in 2012 is $6,826.20. This is an increase of $2,340.60 from the 2011 maximum tax of $4,485.60."

When are they going to tell us which tax loop holes they plan on closing?

"The 14 percent, thats on investment income, not earned income, or didn't you think I knew anything about how investment works?"

I understand the capital gains tax codes and why Romney and Warren Buffet only pay 14% income tax, but the difference is, Buffet wasn't complaining about the 47% that includes military and seniors paying zero in taxes to a group of millionaires.

Romney wasn't talking about capital gains, he was talking about the Americans paying zero in Federal taxes. At first I thought he meant 47% of the Obama voters were on welfare, but it's clear he meant the 47% who file and pay zero in taxes. I personally know people paying over 30% in Federal taxes and they too mentioned the high percentage of people playing zero in taxes or some of those who had zero in withholding taxes, but still got a return because of tax credits.

I agree the current tax code is crazy, but why blame the seniors who worked and paid their fair share of taxes?

Boy, if you're not good at anything else, you're good at repeating yourself. Don't you think you've convinced the morons yet, who are the only ones who would be inclined to believe you?

You act like the Democrats would actually give you internet gambling at some point. They're not going to. They never will. And you know that.   

Your guys (the sniveling weasel party) had two full years of absolute, full, total control of the White House, the House and the Senate

If they wanted to give you internet gambling they would have given it to you, BECAUSE NOBODY COULD HAVE STOPPED THEM.

So obviously, the Democrats are against online gambling.

And if you think your buddy, Democrat Harry(GirlyVoice)Reid (the only Mormon you guys don't hate with a passion), would ever allow a bill like that to see the light of day, I want some of what you're smokin'.

Why aren't you whining about that?

To my knowledge nobody in either party has suggested raising taxes on seniors with only regular SS as income; that would be political suicide though it's possible either side could raise Medicare withholdings. The sad part is because of the current tax codes, SS can be taxed when that income should be tax exempt on those with other incomes. Federal taxes are deducted from our pay checks before F.I.C.A. so those on SS have already paid their taxes on the money paid into SS.

Even though Romney was talking to a group of millionaires not knowing his remarks were being taped, he still should have known better than to group the seniors, military, and the working poor with those who never or hardly worked and have collected government assistance almost their entire lives. In the last two one term presidential elections it was the incumbent making that type of mistakes that can and do alienate voters.

Capital gains are the profits on investments and it's really unfair to blame anyone for taking advantage of the current tax codes. What is unfair is taxing my lottery profits at a much higher rate. Instead of talking about what to do when the Bush era taxes expire, both parties should be talking about one flat tax rate with no deductions, breaks, or loop holes we can all live with. Exempt all incomes under $25,000 or whatever is determined to be the poverty level. Pay as-you-go taxes with no more complicated forms to filed by April 15.

Boy, if you're not good at anything else, you're good at repeating yourself. Don't you think you've convinced the morons yet, who are the only ones who would be inclined to believe you?

You act like the Democrats would actually give you internet gambling at some point. They're not going to. They never will. And you know that.   

Your guys (the sniveling weasel party) had two full years of absolute, full, total control of the White House, the House and the Senate

If they wanted to give you internet gambling they would have given it to you, BECAUSE NOBODY COULD HAVE STOPPED THEM.

So obviously, the Democrats are against online gambling.

And if you think your buddy, Democrat Harry(GirlyVoice)Reid (the only Mormon you guys don't hate with a passion), would ever allow a bill like that to see the light of day, I want some of what you're smokin'.

Why aren't you whining about that?

Or are you just whining to be whining, like most sniveling Democrats?

 

 

 

"You act like the Democrats would actually give you internet gambling at some point. They're not going to. They never will."

They don't have to "give me" Internet gambling because I won $230 betting a couple of races at Keeneland online today from a tip I got from a horse owner. I could have placed bets on any race on any track in the country that simulcasts. I gave you way too much credit because apparently you're too ignorant to do any research. Legal online horse race betting has been around for years and was not affected by the Wire Act or the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.

You really should join the 21st century and get high speed Internet service and you too can have the choice to gamble online.

"Why aren't you whining about that?"

Because Harry Reid represents the people of Nevada not the people of Kentucky or Tennessee. Someday you really ought to read the U.S. Constitution or have someone read it to you. You're wasting your time trying to be the clever grade school playground bully when your classmates already read section 4 and know only the voters a state elect their Senators. If you want Reid out, move to Nevada like when you moved to Idaho to get Republican Larry Craig elected into the Senate.

Personal religion should be irreverent unless elected officials try to force their religious beliefs on the country. Kentucky and Tennessee aren't  being contested by the Democrats so I haven't seen any presidential campaign ads on T.V. and don't know if Romney's personal religion is being attacked in other states or not. I have read predictions that Romney may get a lesser percentage of the Republican vote in your state than John McCain because of his religion. That we won't know until all the votes are counted.

"Or are you just whining to be whining"

Whining is when your VP candidate says the United States of America should fear Iran because they are using every available washing machine trying to produce weapons grade uranium. Lt General Groves would be LMAO hearing that if he were still alive. Your party leaders have no confidence in our military and maybe why Romney failed to thank those fighting for our freedom in Afghanistan during his acceptance speech.

Has anyone ever thanked you for fighting for our freedom or are you just the typical grade school playground bully?

Iran is using washing machines, strainers, blenders, and you name it...still are not even close to WGU. Better yet, as it was stated as fact, they would still then need to acquire SOMETHING TO PUT IT IN. It would then need to go through the process of being be properly SEALED, INSPECTED, etc. etc. with nuclear wepons production.

Now, that would constitute a bomb/nuclear weapon as opposed to merely accumulating a chemical which isn't even ready percentage-wise. I found it very compliant that his numbers were way off just as Gov. Romney's are.

With the recent and further sanctions imposed on Iran's currency, nothing will be accomplished at this point. They're too busy trying to figure out how they're gonna eat to be concerned with a freakin' bomb. I guess Paul couldn't put the two together, though.

Paul actually done a good job overall, though. Still, as clearly pointed out by the moderator, he just danced around giving up the re-structuring details of the magic plan. Likewise, Joe probably could've taken it a little easier on him with the interruptions. But, Joe did need to check him with all those lies...and he did.

The goal is "seductive" front-ends that will one day help replace the baby boomers.

I am looking forward to going to Nevada too helpmewin!  I hear they have hookers out there! And they are legal!  For some reason this thread is giving me the tendency to think about hookers! I dont know what it is.Roll Eyes

I am gonna treat LL and RR with my lottery jackpot winnings to some good old fashioned loving.  HyperGod knows RR has a major blockage that is going all the way to his brain, turning it into mush.  I think some hookers may do his body good and cause his mind to be a gentler kinder mind, removing his tendencies of lunacy on this thread, making this thread a kindler gentler thread.

Once RR gets those legal prostitutes in NV, he will love Harry Reid like never before!!Love

We can even visit a farm if RR insists.Green laugh

After RR is turned normal again, I think we might check out the Poker Tournament at the White Sands Casino.

Prostitution is the subjugation and abuse of women, LB.

It's treating women as nothing more than sex objects to be used for your selfish desires.

That's why I declined when Prickley invited me to join him in a romp with them at his expense.

Now, you and Prickley Loser might think it's a perfectly normal thing to use women like that but a lot of us don't and I'm sure Helpmewin, as a 24 yr old young lady, doesn't either. I would venture to say she doesn't even want you to address her about it. Or your penchant for farm animals. Not funny, disgusting.

A Nevada casino and a state lotto are now on the cusp of offering similar products.

i so disagree with that statement Yes Nod, what do you all think? What?

I agree, helpmewin.

And you will love Vegas, fun 24 hours a day.

He he....doesn't cost me a thing ridge. I have very good credit! Now, I've addressed your question.

All the doctors and nurses that save people everyday...if they're (D), they're insufferable morons right?

Tell me this, ridge. Whenever you go the doctor, do you always know, for certain, that an insufferable moron isn't helping you? If you found out, by chance, that they were an insufferable moron, would you refuse the service?

I'm sure you've been out to eat dinner before, right? How do you know an insufferable moron didn't prepare your food? When you go to the gas station to fill your truck or car, how do you know that an insufferable moron wasn't there right before you, AND TOUCHED THE FUEL HANDLE? What about the insufferable morons that have touched the same door handles that you have to touch to enter a building?

Do you prefer a (R) or (D) (insufferable moron) at the grocery store for a cashier when you check out? Seems you're living a very, very dangerous life around US, ridge.

And, likewise, take your time.

 

L.L.

Ironic the person calling all the Democrats "insufferable morons" has very little reading compreshion so they have difficulty answering questions. Like when I asked him if his party's planks on abortion, the war in Afghanistan, Medicare, and taxes meaningless too after Rdrnr proclaimed,

"No one swears any oath to uphold or enforce any item in any Platform and very few even pay any attention to it. Dam* few read it or have any idea what's in it. It's largely ceremonial and soon forgotten. Most people know what each party's general principles and core values are and don't have to look up chapter and verse to find out."

If only a few read the platform and none of them take it seriously, doesn't that the mean the entire Republican Party is nothing but B.S.?

For over a week now the discussion was about a ban on all forms of Internet gambling on the Republican Party platform, but today Rdrnr said

"LOL, so now you change the premise from online poker and online lottery to online horse racing."

Rdrnr didn't even know there were other forms of Internet gambling until I told him and now his argument is only "online poker and online lottery" are included in all forms of Internet gambling. To him online horse racing wagering isn't Internet gambling.

There are many more unanswered questions, but the most telling is the one I asked after mentioning Paul Ryan's fear of Iran. Ryan and Romney keep telling us Iran is close to having a nuke that could destroy a city in the U.S. It's obvious both are hawks and if Congressman Ryan's scantions were put in place, war with Iran would be inevidible. Only a fool could believe not one member of our military would die or be seriously wounded. Romney has no idea of war because he sat out the Vietnam War serving as a missionary and then a 25 year-old student. Non-military service is not an issue, but ordering men into combat when it's not necessary is.

My other unanswered question, "Has anyone ever thanked you for fighting for our freedom?"

He supports war, but never served himself. Bet he never goes into town on Veterans Day and probably has a list a mile long of why he didn't.

That's why I declined when Prickley invited me to join him in a romp with them at his expense.

Now, you and Prickley Loser might think it's a perfectly normal thing to use women like that but a lot of us don't and I'm sure Helpmewin, as a 24 yr old young lady, doesn't either. I would venture to say she doesn't even want you to address her about it. Or your penchant for farm animals. Not funny, disgusting.

Whataya say you act a little more respectful around ladies and we keep the conversation out of the gutter?

"Whataya say you act a little more respectful around ladies and we keep the conversation out of the gutter?"

Romney said women in the military, women on SS, and low wage earning women paying no taxes "are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it" and "These are people who pay no income tax. ... [M]y job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

When Rush Limbaugh referred to Sandra Fluke as a "slut", Romney said “I’ll just say this, which is, it’s not the language I would have used" as if the substance was fine but words weren't.

One of your Republican buddies running for the Missouri Senate seat said "victims of “legitimate rape very rarely get pregnant because their bodies prevent them from doing so".

You are the last person that should be lecturing anyone how to speak to women. If you get your way, women's rights would be pushed back to 1900.

You're probably not even a Republican and really don't care who their candidates are. There are lots of anti-Obama people in Kentucky, but they are honest enough to say why. You're just using Lottery Post as a podium spread your Hannity/Limbaugh wanna-be agenda. The majority of your posts aren't even related to lottery topics.

Of course not and I was just quoting some of the comments made from the right that resemble a step in the direction of Sharia law.

The only parts of the post I responded to that I agreed with was "more respectful" and "we keep the conversation out of the gutter". There is a huge difference between respectful to a poster and disagreeing on what they post. I seriously doubt "act a little more respectful" would be mentioned if the poster had agreed with what the lady was saying.

I was simply pointing out the facts as I always do and the facts prove the some members of the Republican Party don't always respect women and their party platform calls for a ban on all forms of Internet gambling.

Only a hypocrite that calls all Democrats "insufferable morons" would tell another poster to "act a little more respectful around ladies" because the majority of Democrats are ladies. That indeed is one strange order coming from someone who has been very disrespectful to Democrats. Can rdgrnr say for a fact none of Lottery Post's lady members are Democrats?

The Internet poker bill is non-partisan, sponsored by members of both parties, but because of the language in the platform, the Poker Players Alliance believes it might become difficult to pass. By not being mentioned in the other platform, it may make it even more difficult to pass. I don't believe the decision on the Wire Act that opened the door for online lottery wagering was politically motivated because states controlled by both parties can benefit. I don't even know if it is possible to overturn that decision without another Congressional Act.

As for influencing voters, posting the platform plank language can't possibly influence anyone voting against Obama in 2008 and with all the stuff going on in the country and in the world, I can't see how it would influence any intelligent undecided voters if there really are any undecided voters left.

It wouldn't influence anyone who knows anything about politics or Platforms but let's be honest. 99.9% of the Democrat Base doesn't know anything about anything. They base all their decisions on sound bytes, rumors, innuendoes, comedians, Hollywood and comedy skits on Saturday Night Live and maybe even stuff you say if they believe you and think you know what you're talking about.

Now I don't think for a second that you believe that plank means anything (and it doesn't) but it sure seemed like you wanted others to think it did the way you kept repeating it and quoting it and posting links to it.

"People need to hear both sides to make an intelligent decision."

Let's not forget what one person calls an intelligent decision, somebody else will call it stupid. Sometimes it's the timing of the decision and later in retrospect the person making that decision will say it wasn't a very intelligent thing to do. I'll bet George H. W. Bush wishes he never said "Read my lips, no new taxes".

Intelligent decisions on voting were easy to see in the Soviet Union and in Eastern Block countries because the winners always had 100% of the vote. In the U.S. voting is done in private, nobody can force anyone to vote one way or the other, and the winners average about 55% of the vote. It all comes down to what each individual believes is an intelligent decision and you'll never see 100% of the voters making the same decision.

"Now I don't think for a second that you believe that plank means anything (and it doesn't)"

We both agreed it's meaningless and I even elaborated why. Why did you believe such a trivial issue would sway anyone even if I posted it 1000 times?

BTY: Have you asked Maddog why he feels the need to post his anti-Democrat stuff in the birthday thread everyday?

"I felt the need to explain it because someone kept saying it was meaningless."

If something is meaningless, isn't it a little ridiculous to keep explaining it?

And you weren't explaining anything anyway because there's nothing to explain.

You just kept repeating yourself.

I didn't see MADDOG post any anti-Democrat stuff in the Birthday Thread.

Why, did he say something you disagree with and you want him banned too?

I posted the facts and though you called the facts meaningless, it doesn't change the fact the Republican wants to ban all forms of Internet gambling. And for who knows how many times I've posted the same fact, I still doubt it will change the mind of any voters.

People change their minds when one candidate calls 47% of Americans victims because they pay no taxes.

That is certainly a very cogent thought Stack.  I have an idea on who this individual is.  It is a member of Romneys entourage and plausibly a grafter.  Do you know who he is Stack?

I will give you a hint.  He is a kingpin of Nevada.

He he...LMFIMO!!!!!! Stack, no need to dwell on this stuff...it's already a wrap, man. When I first got into this thread rather heavily, I immediately told all my veteran friends about it, told them to follow it, and I saved all the comments made about us being "parasites" and "Insufferable morons". Both the male and female counterparts were absolutely floored by what they read!! They just couldn't believe that people actually felt that way about them just because they may vote (D) and for the president!

This is verbatim from a Captain, "That's f*uckin' ridiculous!! My men and women go over there and protect their ungrateful a*sses just to be called names like this???" "These are the people that need to be hauled off in that C130 and dropped off in the middle of Afghanistan!!!! Then, they'll see what REAL HATRED is all about!!!!" 

Buddy, this thread and its' comments have been well circulated...trust me. I know how well and how fast news travels in the military!!! Imagine calling a Captain in the Army a "parasite"...an "insufferable moron" while they're in harms way every single day. My marine buddies sent me some pictures with the caption, "This is what happens when people f*uck with me the wrong way!"

Stack, just let this thread simmer, buddy. It's all good. I left it alone for a very, very good reason....

Please continue, buddy. You're only helping. I know you have it in you!!! It's amazing how you were just waiting for something like this. If we dropped your a** in the middle east, Wal-Mart wouldn't have enough diapers to hold all the sh*t you'd drop.

I can see you, ridge. You're in front of a desktop, in chair full of cat hair that smells like goat. You have a raggedy a*ss cigar in your hand, and a mouth full of tobacco with a spit can on side of the chair. In one end you have a catheter and other has an enema. Next to the desktop is a dictionary, and a thesaurus so you can take thirty minutes looking up big words to make yourself appear intelligent when all your posts clearly confirm otherwise, buddy.

So, go ahead and do your thing. You're only helping. C'mon, you have a crowd watching!!!!

Your story about your "marine buddies" and "veteran friends" and the "verbatim words" from your "Captain buddy" were all so very believable. Yes Nod LOL

Listen up, schmuck-weasel, unlike you, I am a veteran and you wouldn't make a pimple on a marine's ass or any veteran's ass for that matter.

And the good part?

You know it.

So stop using the name of veterans for your b*llsh*t stories.

I know you're mad at me for talking about your thing for hookers but you should have told me you got married or have a girlfriend or whatever the deal is if you didn't want me to say anything. And if you like hookers, that's your business anyway, nobody can stop you from using them. If people are offended by it, just tell them to mind their own business.

But this phony military thing? LOL You're not even a good liar, Prickley.

You're making a fool out of yourself again, numbnuts.

I'll tell ya what I'd do if I was you. I'd go back to being the phony playboy who rents out the penthouse suites in Bahrain and Dubai with all the best hookers like you used to be. Give up the long-winded, gas-bag intellectual routine that you tried to be here lately - you're no good at it. You're also no good as the grizzled old vet either. Waaaay too phony. Be the phony, jet-setting playboy again - at least it was funny.

Thus the burning question rages on.  Are lotteries a threat to the federal Web poker bill?

Stay tuned for the exciting and climatic conclusion, in approximately three years.   Pumpkin

I've tried to stick to the topic and the facts and it is a fact the Republican Party platform is not only a threat to the Federal web poker bill, but a threat to all forms of U.S. Internet gambling including state lotteries. While it might not be a fact a Republican administration will ban all forms of Internet gambling, it's still a fact it is the intentions of some people within the Republican Party.

The difference here is people usually protest when lies are redundantly posted, but not the facts.

"They just couldn't believe that people actually felt that way about them just because they may vote (D) and for the president!"

Some people are just more opinionated than others and have no problem repeating their opinions while hypocritically attacking someone repeating the facts. Presenting the facts about the Republican Party platform banning all forms of Internet gambling won't sway any of the military vote, but after reading what Romney said about those in harms way because they pay no Federal taxes, will probably sway many of their votes.

"All right, there are 47 percent who are with him,who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it -- that that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. ... These are people who pay no income tax. ...My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." 

I have no problem when someone decides to attack me for presenting the facts, because it won't change the fact those remarks were said and the fact there is a purposed ban on all forms of Internet gambling on the Republican Party platform. My job is not to worry about the opinions of the anti-Democrat people. I'll never convince them their attacks on me for presenting the facts will never change the facts. 

"Stack, just let this thread simmer, buddy. It's all good. I left it alone for a very, very good reason...."

It won't simmer down or change opinions ever after around 140 million Americans make their decisions on November 6. I do have an opinion on the topic, "are lotteries a threat to the Federal web bill" but not many people are interested in discussing the actual topic so that's reason enough to leave it alone.

I'm not so sure that the (R) will prevail in this anti-gambling deal, Stack. In the end, people have a right to spend their monies where and how they want...and privately. The thing that's getting them is that there's a small percentage of card players that do very, very well and they want TAXES from them. Well, I can understand that. But, the problem is that with the sites not being required to report the players' winnings', there's no way to track anything. I mean, Pick/4 is gambling just as well and anything under $600 isn't in need of being reported...it can be cashed on the spot at any convenience store.

Then, there's the problem of not knowing just how much the player may have lost, either. With so many variables, they need to just leave the internet deal alone. If a person is good enough to win some extra money to take care of some things, then my hat is off to them!!! It's no different than starting a business and being successful. Still, I don't know how they'd address the taxes because this is what it's all about. Actually, it's about the sites more so than the player.

In terms of people being opinionated, that's questionable and borderline between down right racist and hateful. Have you seen the bumper stickers that people are buying in reference to the president's ethnicity? There's nothing political about them at all...it's all racist and about color. I have looked and looked high and low and can't find where (D) take that approach about Gov. Romney. None of the stickers are racist at all...just about his politics. This is the difference...it's pure hate.

Facts: Romney lied about his position on firearms, the Blunt Ammendment, health care, education, and numerous other things on record. Still, there are those who brush all those things aside because they just want him in office as opposed to Obama. Look at his position on the coal factories..."they kill people." He shut that bad boy down, too. In the debate, though, he's so gung ho to save those jobs all of a sudden. Man, the Koch Brothers and Karl Rove, alone, have spent billions in support of getting this guy in office...severely outspending the (D's). Billionaires and Ballot Bandits: How To Steal An Election In Nine Easy Steps...excellent read!!!!

People really just don't want the truth about politics, Stack. They focus solely on the media, and what it reports, instead of digging for the real facts. Some of it is okay and accurate but, one must still be willing to sift through and double check what's being reported. Gov. Romney hates fact checkers and Obama welcomes them...especially in the numbers department. Being better off now as opposed to 2008 is a total unit of measure regarding the ENTIRE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE...not just a few INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE. We're not losing 700,000-800,000 jobs per month and the employment percentage, as a whole, is down and going down as we speak. These are FACTS.

Likewise, Obama's plan to further reduce the deficit via taxes is questionable due to the amount of wealthy people being targeted to pull the extra weight. Lots of work to do there, no doubt. However, they've also made it very clear that Romney's plan is completely unobtainable in all (1) points...not (5) points 'cause there ain't (5) points. I find it very strange that what Romney plans to abolish in terms of health care is already what Massachussets is using. But he (they) hate what's being implemented...really? 

Gov. Romney is, in fact, a very very good man. He's just sincerely lying, and wrong, about what he says he's planning to do.
