Michelle Bachman said, "I am not a politician"... Does that count?? :D

hehehehehehehehe

OK, I concede the point.. Obama didn't come right out and SAY it..

But ALL of his actions, all of his claims as to what he WOULD do and WOULDN'T do indicated to me that he wasn't a politician..

But, you are correct. He didn't explicitly say it with words.. But he DID say it with his claims and promises..

Very hollow claims and very shallow promises, we have come to learn..

Michale.....

You're putting words into Obama's mouth that he never spoke, I believe. At most, he may have said he would be "a different type" of politician, but that's it. Unless, of course, you can come up with a direct quote...

Or else you can just stop claiming that Obama proclaimed himself "not to be a politican"... maybe it's the right-wing media that's blowing smoke up your ass, to put it another way...

I've just finished reviewing the battle royale between Henry Clay and Andy Jackson over the Second Bank of the US veto. Calling the sitting president a "king" or "dictator" or "monarch" goes back to George Washington... nothin' new here, folks...

Hahahahah. Well played, sir ... well played

Michale.....

Uhoh ... now I'm worried. Did the Supreme Court issue their verdict yet?

I'm going to have to eat some crow on this one, aren't I? :)

Now THAT was funny!! :D

Rant rant rant rant rant ... rant rant rant rant rant ...

And so was that!! :D

Michale.....

:)

I understand.. It's OK...

After 6 Nov, you won't have to worry about it any more...

:D

Michale......

What I tell ya!!??? :D

Michale....

Really??

You are obviously not up on current events... Check the FTP Commentary

So much for "transparency", eh???

As I said, these actions of late are the actions of a dictator, not a President.

So if you're now saying that one has the record to prove he's not a politician then ...

No, one has the record to prove that he is the Politicians of Politicians, but the record also proves he doesn't know dick about leadership... Or competence for that matter...

Michale....

So if you're now saying that one has the record to prove he's not a politician then ...

1. Not only are you drinking the Romn-Aid
2. But you're also pouring it

Doesn't that make you as bad as the people you rail against?

-David

No. They both try to claim they're not politicians.

Obama is worse than a politician. For all intents and purposes, he is a dictator.

Ok ... now you're just back to ranting ... serenity now, my friend.

-David

No, that is not "smoke" as Romney has the record to PROVE it... Even President Clinton said that Romney was "sterling"...

Obama had no record in 2008.. That's why he was just blowing smoke..

In 2012, Obama DOES have a record. And it's a horrible one that he can't run on..

Again, I'm not saying Obama is not a politician. But it's the same situation ... and you're saying one makes you mad, one doesn't.

As I explained.. One makes no bones or apologies about being a politician, even though he SHOULD (apologize, I mean)..

The other tries to claim he is not a politician, but practically every action he has taken says he is..

Obama is worse than a politician. For all intents and purposes, he is a dictator..

On another note, just because it's kewl...

Other than being really awesome, it is indicative of the power of the Obama kool-aid. If something like these devices were being developed under a GOP President, the Left would go ballistic...

Where's Code Pink?? Where's MoveOn??

Oh yea.. That's right. They're in the bag for Obama...

Michale.....

I don't see any difference.

As you mentioned, you have no idea what Romney would do. Just this "smoke" about him being a businessman and somehow that is going to make everything better.

Smoke ... up ass ... blown

-David

p.s. Again, I'm not saying Obama is not a politician. But it's the same situation ... and you're saying one makes you mad, one doesn't.

I'm saying this sounds like you're falling for one side's "smoke"

I probably could find those exact words, but I really don't need to..

Obama's own campaign slogan, "Hope and *CHANGE*" indicates it. All of Obama's loft words about there being no Red states, no Blue states, just a UNITED States, etc etc... All gave credence to the notion that Obama was not a politician..

Romney is saying similar things. Ever hear him talk about his stint as governor of Massachusetts? Wonder why?

Don't see Dems talking about it much either. Oh they tried once or twice, but it all fell flat..

So, if Dems ain't saying anything about Gov Romney and we KNOW they would be if there was some bad shit, it's logical to conclude that Gov Romney didn't do too bad...

Oh no ... a community organizer ... the next step is Stalin!!!!

Not really..

But honestly.. What does being a community organizer prepare one for???

I can tell you what it DOESN'T prepare one for. It doesn't prepare one for being a successful POTUS...

As is apparent by the disaster this country is today...

I ummm .... seem to recall that the last job you had Mitt was as ... a politician. And what you seem to be doing now is ... running for political office.

But Mitt doesn't claim to be anything else..

Give me a politician who is at least honest about who and what he is, over a smarmy con-man who blows smoke up my ass every chance he gets, any day of the week and twice on Sunday...

But when someone tries to say that one politician somehow has the country's best interests in mind while another is playing political games, guess what? That's political spin & I don't buy it.

Here's in essence what Romney is saying: "I'm not the politician, he is"

If Romney HAS said that, then it's obviously nothing but politician/campaign rhetoric... He's pandering... That's what politicians do...

Does that pandering piss me off??

You betcha...

But I am MORE pissed off by the politician who says he is NOT a politician, who says he is NOT pandering. And, somehow, has the backing of some really intelligent people who should know better.. :D

Michale.....

If you hadn't noticed, it's a little like 2nd grade ... (I know you are, but what am I)

-David

Mitt Romney: "I've been in the private sector for 25 years, President Obama is a politician, and a community organizer."

Oh no ... a community organizer ... the next step is Stalin!!!!

I ummm .... seem to recall that the last job you had Mitt was as ... a politician. And what you seem to be doing now is ... running for political office.

-David

He's a politician... Of course he would..

What irks me about Obama is that he said he wasn't going to be a politician.. Yet he is...

Like I have said before, I vote for a Jack Ryan. What I got was a Richard Nixon on steroids..

Michale....

Where's the wrath of Michale? (Heheh ... sorry Michale, couldn't resist.)

-David

Can't argue with the logic.. :D

It would make things a nail-biter, wouldn't it?? :D

Michale....

leaving ohio, virginia, colorado, nevada, iowa... and perhaps wisconsin. wouldn't THAT be an interesting last state to decide the national election!

My bust....

Michale.....

Here is what I was talking about, as far as the Electoral Race goes..

http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/electoral-map

Only 11 Electoral votes separate the candidates..

Michale......

It's rather ironic, isn't it?

Ya'all used to ridicule Bush for calling himself "The Decider"...

Now ya'all ridicule Romney because he is "The NOT Decider".

Is there no pleasing the Left? :D

Michale.....

For the record, that was a helluva comment. :D

Kudos

Michale....

But, if you ask the average American that, if the vote was today, who would they vote for, guess what the answer would be???

So, by all means. Get yer licks in.. Slap 'im around a little..

Maybe it will toughen him up and bring him to the reality of the here and now...

BUT in the here and now...

Most Americans prefer Romney to Obama...

ESPECIALLY in matters of the economy...

Michale.....

With that out of the way, your comment is hilarious and got me thinking....

It's 3 AM. Does Romney know where the children of illegal immigrants are?

Nah, too wordy. I like yours better.
