Sure, but you know I'm right.

Profanity is a no no on this site.

Bearbryant - I posted an anti democrat thread earlier.

http://setxsports.com/ip/index.php?/topic/107693-hey-everyone-the-economy-sucks/

Oh wow what a new and refreshing topic!

I never said democrats weren't.

Will you and others please stop trying to corner me I to a position or stance I don't even hold? It gets old.

In fact, I think people who blindly vote democrat OR republicans are idiots and are the problem with this country.
 

And its so easy to see... for those that don't have blinders on.  Both sides are corrupt.

Koch brothers wouldn't allow that.

Republicans should have called their bluff.

Which is why I'm against ANY of this political donation nonsense.

Yeah, and I'm sure the Democrats were just so hesitant to take those checks.

You lack serious reading comprehension skills.

I've said a MILLION times I'm moderate and don't care for EITHER party. I don't post anti democrat articles BECAUSE THERES A THOUSAND TOPICS ON IT ALREADY.

You're incapable of having a rationale discussion on this topic because your feelings are hurt.

No - ECO you are on the other side of the same coin that you say you hate. With you its all Republicans bad Republicans suck.  And if you can't see that fact then you are truly blind.  But I'm done with the back and forth.  I'l debate with someone that actually want to exchange ideas and thought.  I won't be responding to trolls.

It's called hedging your bets. Obviously Obama was going to win (maybe not so obvious on here) , so they threw money at him to get on his good side.

You and I both know that's just the narrative they want to sell you. Have you seen how much GE donated to the Obama campaign? They don't want to give that up, they just want moderates, independents and libertarians, who generally all hate big corporate donations, to think they want to give it up.

Yes, gotta even the playing field.

I think the buying of votes and really the buying of reps and sen's is wrong but.........are these do-gooding Democrats that want this straightened out not taking the same money the Repub's are?

They learned from the masters of spin, Fox News. #1 news channel in the country :P

Because they know there's no chance it will pass now, and it gives them the opportunity to revive the Republican big business narrative. The Democrats are masters of controlling the narrative.

Exactly, more important stuff going on :P

I think we do need healthcare reform but obamacare obviously is not the answer.

They found time to pass a Healthcare bill  :P

Well it's obvious that republicans don't want to discuss the topic at hand. They rather blindly support whatever their party does. Shocking.

You mean when the our economy was in the middle of the worst recession since the Great Depression?

I think there might have been more important issues going on at the moment. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wonder why the dems didnt pass  this when they had both houses?

How compassionate, you're gettin soft!

I would like to see some of the folks that dont like fn to see the truth and therefore be enlightened!

It's only trolling because it isn't another anti obama hate thread.

Business as usual on setxsports.com . People on this board have literally nothing else to contribute besides "OBAMA BAD, OBAMA SUK".

Are you really so blind to think that if Citizens United were overturned that all of a sudden the money would stop?  Barack Obama himself is awash in money.  The money would just find another way around. 
 
I agree with laflamablanco... This is a trolling thread.  Big girl could have posted it herself.

First - Good job avoiding to discuss the topic at hand. Is the title not factually correct? Please explain how corporations "donating" millions and millions of dollars to politicians (who republicans will admit are corrupt) is in the best in interests of the country.

Second - Do you guys really need me to make the 1000th thread on how the economy sucks? Everyone knows it. Let me know, I can post another topic on the economy which I'm sure will spur intelligent discussion.

LOL yet that title was quite different from the one you posted.  And you feigned surprise when I mentioned you as always aiming posts at Republicans?

For real?

I used a FOX NEWS source in the original post.

For real?  Can you use a legit source besides "The Nation"?   Another source could just as easily title this "Democrats try to end free speech"
 
How would Obama fund raise if he wasn't able to offer $100,000 golf outings to his cronies?

"Fifty-four senators, all Democrats and independents who caucus with the Democrats, voted Thursday for the amendment to clarify in the Constitution that Congress and the states have the authority to do what they did for a century before activist judges began intervening on behalf of wealthy donors and corporations: enact meaningful campaign finance rules and regulations.

But 42 senators, all Republicans, voted no. As a result, Udall noted, the Republican minority was able to "filibuster this measure and instead choose to support a broken system that prioritizes corporations and billionaires over regular voters."

I am so shocked.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/09/11/senate-kills-dem-backed-constitutional-amendment-on-election-spending/

So why are you complaining about mainstream media when Fox News is the most watched "news" channel?

Ya how come Fox News didn't talk about it such a shame how liberal they are

Didn't Eric Cantor just join a private equity firm literally a week ago?

Those middle eastern countries will always be in conflicts as long as they keep clinging to their religion. We can't afford to occupy it until eternity.

Luckily most people in this country aren't as fanatic and pick and choose which parts to believe and focus on.

I skimmed the first article.

The issue appears to be that marijuana shops weren't on the ban list because it wasn't even legal at the time they drafted the law. In other words, it's a temporary loophole.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

(No I'm not supporting buying weed with food stamps)

(Sad I even have to put that disclaimer in this forum)

Did the parties flip flop or am I missing something? Few stances I hold :

- Pro guns
- Fiscally conservative
- Anti affirmative action
- Anti government involvement in personal choices
- Support welfare reform
- Anti feminism

Correction - I am not anti trayvon Martin but I'm also not anti Zimmerman. Zimmerman was getting beat up and had to do what he had to do. I am against the whole mike brown/ferguson movement though.

I disagree tragic hippy. I've never seen anything other than him take a stance against conservatives or Republicans. I'm a conservative Democrat but I can't vote against my conscience therefore I don't mind giving my vote to the Republicans. But like I said... I'm withholding judgement for now.

This is easy, anyone who isn't -

PNG Bama Kid
TVC
Bullets13
TxHoops
Westend1
Tragic hippy
Buddy Garrity
Myself (of course)

Missing a couple I'm sure. I'll edit it in when it comes to mind
