OT: Political Discussion... Please...

Coin collectors are prone to political opinions. U.S. coinage and paper money is issued by the government, the numismatic and bullion markets are affected by government economic policies, and our collectibles are first and foremost MONEY which is regulated by the Federal Reserve System. Every numismatic collectible issued by our government is related to an Act of Congress and overseen by the Treasury Department. I respectfully request our "host", "the venue", and other discussion board users allow this discussion to exist. Its purpose is to serve as a repository for political opinion, thereby keeping political interruptions to a minimum on the other discussions related to coins, paper money, and the bullion markets, on this board. In this way, users who are not interested in political commentary can use the board without being subjected to it. Prior to establishment of a Political Thread, many quality on-topic discussions were ruined by endless political bickering. Users of all political persuasions are welcome, users who do not wish to participate can easily avoid it. It is far better for ALL involved to keep it in one place. To that end, please do not post off-topic dissertations about the Federal Reserve and their connection to the Illuminati & the Bilderberg Group, endless arguments about Ron Paul and gold-backed currency, or rants about what government debt and the next election mean to bullion prices, to the other discussions on the board. If you are unfamiliar with them, please review the eBay Discussion Boards Policies prior to posting.

What facts have you ever presented, odie? What are your facts about the voter fraud in Philly?

You need to take a probability and statistics refresher course if the events in several precincts do not raise even a tiny suspicion of voter fraud in your myopic paradigm. Those on the left who see themselves as descendents of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are either deeply confused or they assume you won't bother to learn the truth.

If there was voter fraud in Philly because Romney got 0 votes, then how do you explain precints in Utah where Obama got 0 votes. Voter fraud in Utah, I doubt it.

jeff new andused, I read in my morning paper that in another decade or two there won't be a white majority in this country.
Does that scare you? What will that mean for the Republican party?

Nothing scares me.
I live in California. Or Norte Mexico, as we call it. Our unemployment rate is 50% higher than the rest of the country. Our educational system is ranked around 49th. I've seen what the future of America looks like already, if the Democratic Party takes control of America.
California used to lead the nation in just about everything good. We were among the wealthiest states. Our educational system was number one. And then the Democratic Party permanently took over. Now, we're first in things like gang membership, cities going bankrupt and cities with the highest murder rate. We lead the nation in foreclosures.
The collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market started in the barrios and hoods of California, after Pelosi, Ward, Lee, Stark, ACORN and other "progressives" put pressure on the banks, through the FDIC, to loan to "people of color" so that they could get on "the gravy train" (In Pelosi's words) of rising home values.
I don't give a darn about the Republican Party. I am an American. I care about America. I don't want to spend the declining years of my life watching America decline.
I've already seen the "progressive" future based upon the politics of victimhood in which every minority is made to feel put upon by white men of substance--the very men who made America the wealthiest and strongest nation on earth, and provided jobs for the teeming masses.
The reality is, the men of substance, be they white or not, just get up and leave because they have the means to do so, and take their businesses and jobs with them. You can rail against job flight to other cities or other states or other countries, but you can't stop it. As long as you're going to try to squeeze rich men, they're going to walk (or run) away.

Two more posts from Crusher and still no explanation about how he expects Obama to move FORWARD.
Or why he voted from him beyond "New cars & bonus for the union reps".
But I do see he has resorted to his usual insults whenever the facts become overwhelming and he tries to post something original.
That's a sure sign he doesn't have any answers.
Imagine that.
Now rockcrshrjohn/4pawsup*/sr15fire is there a point about how we should move FORWARD somewhere in your ramblings?
If not, I have better things to do this afternoon than spar with you particularly when your sole objective is to be a PITA rather than move FORWARD as the pathological liar you voted for said you should.
Now about those 18,500 workers at Hostess who were "protected" by their unions .....

BTW rockcrshrjohn/4pawsup*/sr15fire, you know it is possible to copy an article without including all the navigation comments in the source.
And it might make that nonsense more readable if you identified that your post is two different articles and summarized the point(s) you intended to make by copying both of them in a single post.
Try it. Your posts might even start to make sense if you do.

Now you will see that race has nothing to do with the direction this country is moving. The important issue is how do we reverse course to preserve the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence? Does that make sense Bart, because I cannot put it in easier terms?

The Affordable Care Act is the single most destructive piece of legislation that will ultimately destroy our Republic. Yes, healthcare needed to be reformed, the Republic being reformed should have been left out of the equation.

But then how could Obama complete his "radical transformation" of America?
One could conclude that since Obama is so keen on implementing the "will of the people" he would repeal ObamaCare as favored by Americans 50% to 44%.
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/healthcare/health_care_law
However, as we now know, he's only interested in the "will of the people" when it fosters his socialist agenda.

You're joking, right?
California has been ruled by a Democratic legislature for decades. The Republicans could only block higher taxes--which are already some of the highest in the world--and now, after the last election, even that is over.
Every now and then, when the Democrats are too obvious in pandering to the state employees' unions, we get a Republican governor for a couple of terms, but all he can do is veto legislation, not create it.
California has been in decline for decades. As Democratic politicians started passing astoundingly generous entitlement programs, California became a magnet for people who wanted to have a comfortable existence, without the necessity of working, paid for by other people. On top of that, local politicians sweetened the pot by passing more entitlement programs and setting up sanctuary cities for illegal aliens.
You really can't believe that the Republicans encouraged cities to protect illegal aliens with gang affiliations. In San Francisco, they would protect illegal aliens with known gang membership convicted of pushing narcotics from being deported, even to the point of giving them shelter or plane tickets home.
Also, in San Francisco, employees of the Municipal Transit Authority are guaranteed that their wages are at least the second highest in the nation. Every year, the papers report mechanics making $250,000 a year.
"Don't worry Jerry Brown will save you."
Very funny. He's been governor for two years and things are just getting worse.

Then perhaps you should have checked the background of the radical socialist tyrant you voted for.
BTW: "familar" is spelled with two i's as in "familiar"
And I assume you mean "named".
Now about how the unions "protected the workers" at Hostess .....
