Election Day 2012

[Azdgari]

Homelessness in the Netherlands is at 10% actually, only about 4% lower than the United States.


What do you want me to say? I'm trying to be courteous and accept your point of view and suggest another one. Do you know what preaching to the choir means? It means that you and I share the same opinion. I don't know what you meant in your response, but it seems that you're calling me or my countrymen idiots, which I don't appreciate. You've continually depicted my country as evil and referred to the middle east wars as an "extermination" which anyone other than a sensationalist knows is inaccurate and, in fact, incredibly disrespectful.


Let's get back to the election, I guess. I'm tired of having my country attacked for its shortcomings while its successes are shoved to the side and ignored. I could stoop to attacking the Netherlands, but I try to respect countries and cultures other than my own.

I have no idea where you got 10%. that is ridiculously high. Our official statistics show that the percentage of people being homeless in nl is 0.105%. And what i meant is that the people who want to continue war are idiots.

And yes I do judge the US by the actions they take, and yes I don't like those actions at all. If respect means that I cant show some facts and comment on them, then ok, seems like I lack respect. attack the netherlands, be.my guest, not much to talk about except slavery (which i'm not proud of). I dont shove the good actions to the side. Killings is in a lot of cases just not justifiable

If you dont want to discuss this anymore, well ok, i just always have to have the last word, i know, bad habit. anyway I added you on msn if you want to discuss this further.

Netherlands poverty line
Sorry, I confused poverty with homelessness. My bad.


Anyways, the election! Does anybody have a good idea of Romney's economic plans beyond repealing the ACA?

[quote="Mitt Romney's Plan to Turn Around the Economy"][Romney's economic plans calls for] fundamental tax reform, a significant overhaul of the federal regulatory system, innovative new approaches for opening foreign markets to American exports and for confronting China over its unfair trade practices, an aggressive commitment to developing America’s energy resources, and a dramatically reduced role in the economy for the federal government.[/quote]

That's lovely! I respond with the question that Democrats and Republicans alike are so curious about: Does anybody have a good idea of Romney's economic plans beyond repealing the ACA? There's nothing but ideology and vague promises (mitt's speciality, if you'll excuse the jab. look at his history). He's not doing so hot on specifics.

And the specifics I do see I don't like. Lower corporate income taxes by 25%, refuse to lower defense budget, etc.


I wonder how Romney would fare with a democrat controlled senate/house.

I think his entire campaign is based on being the Republican "not Obama" guy... he's hoping dissatisfaction with the economy will drive voters away from Obama and towards the opposite party/candidate... It's a clever strategy, but ultimately very bad for the country.

So...who is going to watch the Republican National Convention this week? And the Democratic National Convention next week?

What we need to do is run the elections as normal. I don't care who will win, because I don't care who will win...

Because immediately after these elections, we need to fire every elected official. Then run the elections again as quickly as possible. Fire those guys too. Rinse and repeat at least five times, until the only people left running are those who thought twice about where their loyalties lie - the people, or money. If they want money... fire them as well.
