Unfortunately it appears that Mittens may win my state (Florida).
Voter suppression will do that.

Re: NC still on the fence.
Boy how NC has changed since I lived there in 90's. I did live in a more rural area so not as progressive as the cities. Still I was amazed at the racist attitudes there at the time.
My father still lives there and I do see a marked change from when I lived there

From the posts here you'd think that Obama would be winning with 100% of the vote.
(Didn't Saddam do that?)
Now that is just an idiotic statement. No one has stated such a thing and to equate him to Saddam is rude, insulting and un-american.
Crawl back under your rock. Or bridge, you are acting like a troll.

I'm merely reacting to the posts here that imply that all right thinking people will of course be voting for Obama.
Now you are just lying. That isn't at all what your first post stated.
All anyone that posted did was express their support for Obama. No one said anything about the competition or those who are supportive of them. Stop lying about what was said in this thread.
You folks don't realize how you sound--you're off in your own echo chambers so much that you don't realize that about half the country doesn't share your opinions.
You folks need to get out more.
Stop. You are making yourself sound like a wingnut. You are embarrassing yourself. Of course we do. That is why we are having the conversation about how close things are in NC and WI and that TX is lost to Obama. If we didn't realize it was close we wouldn't be pushing people to vote.
You really need to listen to how you sound. It ain't pretty.

I hear this same kind of thing a lot in academia, where it is assumed that all right thinking people share the same opinion, and that opinion is the far left.

Is that irony? Or some sort of cognitive dissonance thing?
What is it with you guys and the rightwing persecution complex?

You do understand that people are entitled to their opinion don't you.
Also, the OP makes no mention of what the "right thing" is. Us Obama supporters felt like the right thing was to vote for Obama. Why is it that the Romney supporter assumes that the OP was not supportive of Mittens ans some sort of attack on him?
All anyone has done is how their support for Obama, except for you who has attacked everyone that is not a Romney supporter. Way to endear people to your candidate.
There is that persecution complex again.
Then again why would you care what some fuzzy foreigner feels about the US election?

Heinlein was a good science fiction writer. Nothing more.

Re: Facing Up to the Enormity of Our Problem
How about you attempt to stay on topic. If we want to discuss this crap propose a topic. I am sick and tired of you wingnuts sliding your crap into existing topics.
If you don't think you can get a topic promoted, don't foul existing threads with it.

Re: Better face the nature of the problem first
The article states that socialist authoritarians oppress economic freedoms with confiscatory tax rates.
Do you or this moron that wrote the article have any clue how the current rate of taxation compares to historical rates?
Please show some sort of study that shows lowering of taxes has produced increased economic output, or that raising taxes on the top % earners will hurt the economy.
Anything?
Edited by Theodoric, : Thanks Jar for pointing out error
