Read the newspapers...

will do.

I made the thread only to get a quick answer and cuz I'm interested in knowing y'all's opinions on the matter. But I'll def read about it

[Rafael]

I think Obama has pissed more people off than Bush did.

[Raul]

Yes.... they can and they most likely will.

Obama has been a disappointment thus far tbh. Obamacare is pissing people off, people are questioning his foreign policy, and are getting fed up with his spending.

The Republican party is a huge party, not everyone in there is an idiot. There has been an increasing popularity of libertarian republicans over these last few years, with the right campaign, I can see one of them making it to the presidential elections. They are much more fiscally conservative than other Republicans and don't believe the government should get involved in people's liberties (most support same sex marriage, legalization of marijuana, gun rights, etc.)

They are pretty much libertarians disguising as Republicans, much like Ron Paul did in the past. Their main difference with the Libertarian party is their take on military. Libertarians are against having military installations in foreign countries, while the ones in the Republican party support it.

So to answer your question, yes.... there is a faction of the Republican party that has been working on "changing" the party's agenda.

thanks for taking some time to explain the situation to me, Aone

I dont really think Obama is the biggest disappointment in all this. I think the american government in its entirety has let everyone down. Makes it kind of impossible to do anything when your policies get stripped down until they either suck or are unusable. Theres only so much you can do with a bickering congress. Theres too many personal agendas being pushed. A republican could get elected, but to say Obama is being hated more than Bush is kind of insane. Thats not a factual statement by any means.

He hasnt done an amazing job but I think with what he was given hes done a decent job. Not the best president by any means but far from being worse than Bush.

What we need is a rational forward thinking congress.
Who cares if its Republican/Democrat or some other party, what we need is a strong President and congress men/women that don't have their heads shoved firmly up their asses.

Obama was only disappointing because the Republican Party literally did everything they could to stop him from accomplishing anything just so they could say they failed. Even if it was things they agreed with. Obamacare was a conservative idea but as soon as Obama got on board they had to be against. And now they're doing everything they can not to implement it so they can say that it doesn't work even though it doesn't work because of them. The republicans are children who care more about winning elections than improving the country. Short of Jon Huntsman right now I would never vote for a Republican but he's way too sane and down the middle to get the nomination.

[yoda you can call me]

I sorta miss Dubya. The way comedians ripped him apart, watching him struggle during speeches...He was a character lol.

Lol. He didn't do America's image any good, that is for certain.



Money talks, that's all you need to know about politics. Democracy is an illusion. Fax

Good post, not just cosigning but yeah Huntsman is probably the only logical republican, the rest of them are crackpots.

[dead prez]

Also am I the only one that seriously dislikes ron paul and find him to be a huge crackpot with ideas that sound good on paper but are straight HORRIBLE if ever implemented.

[dead prez]

I don't love obama and find him mostly okay, and I absolutely despise libertarians (no offense bruh) so I doubt that'll ever happen.

All I know is Tony Abott could either destroy his politcal career, or become the peoples champion after sending Australia back into Iraq. It depends on if Australia gets attacked or not.

Regardless of the outcome I think he did the right thing. Politicians can't control the future, they can only make decisions. In this case I think he made the right one.

I still hate him for a million other reasons though.

Obviously, lol. But he sticks to what he believes in no matter what and I respect that very much from a politician.

This type of shit wouldn't happen if Bush was president!
