Sorry, Skul - I have you on ignore and only see your posts if someone quotes you or I can sense something "awesome" coming from you. I guess you Googled "Obama 2012 campaign theme" quicker than I did.

Wayne, supposedly that is his campaign theme - if so I would have mentioned it and not taken the payment, just wanted to have some fun if nobody knew it.

Now if you want to run a contest with suggested ideas, I can try something original... :0074

If that's the theme you will be paid--I think things might change before D-day

a
--and you sure it isn't "it begins with us--part 2" :)

Seriously that is an lot like hope and change(something new)--I don't think they'll get that by the independents- a 2nd time.

I don't think that will win Smurph--but I got it down for you. :)

Seriously I thought for 11/2 hours while golf balls yesterday before putting up thread wondering--what platform they could possibly run on-

Gitmo
ending wars
transparency
no lobbyist/ no Washington as usual
Paygo/Era of responsibilty
bipartisanship
defict
economy
employment

:shrug:

I am seriously stumped where they will go--and thought it would good contest/challege

It's past all that. We don't have the luxury of 'platforms' - let's just be Americans. Let's prioritize. Plenty of good people on both sides. No side is correct. Without the help of both sides we will not get out of the pit created by both.

I challenge you to stop leaning so heavily right. You are a brilliant individual. Your intelligence is being held back by your partisan loyalty.

We all have to get past this. We have stop reading and listening to what confirms our bias and instead actually open our ears and eyes. Now or in a decade, there is no doubt that we have to work together. The parties are keeping us from our potential. Let's work on that potential instead of party rhetoric. More situational action, less doctrine. More about individuals than affiliation. It would be a terrible shame to lose everything simply because of a letter next to a name, etc etc.

You make lots of good points--Smuph

I will certainly agree we need one side balancing the other. No party should ever be able to pass agenda's at will without checks and balances.

When the issue is -whether we spending too much or not taxing people enough-I probably won't change my mind--however rebs have prob with spending also.

I know the budget is a concern of yours --but it is mostly political postering--as it has been in years past. Neither side will let it get to d-day.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The concern I have is amount of people the tax payer has to pack is increasing by leaps and bound--class warfare is inevitable.

++++++++++++++++++++++++
on the we are in this together--I'd like to make a bi-partisan amendement to constitution that would solve future problems.

If the don't work together and have a balanced budget--they all lose their jobs and are replaced the following year.

If there is class warfare, then it's not a fault of one side or the other. YES - you are absolutely correct that fewer people with money are carrying the tax burden for an increasing percentage of the population. BUT those people are also possessing an increasing greater wealth. So how should we have it? If people make nothing, then there is no physical way for them to contribute to the system. But our system happens to currently exist in a way that most people make nothing. No matter hard they they try, most will make almost nothing. It is where our economy is headed. I believe those workers deserve respect and a livelihood, not disdain.
