Yours?

Zing!

And I know we've been over this, but there's just no possible way you haven't figured out how to use the quote feature yet. You spend so much time on these posts, but it doesn't even matter because they all look like a disjointed mess. You're better than this.

Now we aren't allowed to even criticize the current POTUS in the MSM's eyes or else we are racist. Do you not see the difference? Dissent then = patriotic. Dissent now = racist. Even if the guy is a total douche...for God's sake while praising Neil Armstrong he (or his handlers, to my wife's point there shouldn't be a difference) posted a picture of himself gazing up at the skies as if he's ever done a single damn thing in his life. I don't think the country can handle four more years of this crap. To my earlier point it is beyond politics, the guy is an emperor without clothes that apparently thinks he's the greatest emperor in history. We were idiots in '08. All of us.

If you (we) were idiots in '08, what does that make you in '12?

The incumbent is a President who, by your account, is the single biggest f***-up in recent history. Should lose the election by a freaking landslide. So who do you put up against him? The biggest collection of idiots, conspiracy theorists and right-wing revisionists we've ever seen on the national political stage. Romney wins the nomination because he had more money than the rest of them and was probably the sanest one in the room (not saying much there).

And the election is a toss-up with just over two months to go.

Who's the idiot now?

I think I explained to you that I post from multiple devices and in multiple time zones. Auto-correct, the ability to quote isn't always available.

I can quote now (see I can do this) because I'm on my MacPro in the office that allows this rather easily (as opposed to last week when I was in South Africa when all I had was my mobile), you are correct we've been over this before and apparently you lack the attention span to remember. Try harder next time. But I appreciate the compliment that I'm better than whatever you think I should be. I'll try harder next time.

"If you (we) were idiots in '08, what does that make you in '12?"

Smart enough to vote out the idiots we elected.

But yeah Obama's great, I can't wait for my houses to drop another 20%, unemployment to rise another 1% on the government's measure and my 23 year old sister-in-law with a master's in economics moving in with us for 90 days (that's the longest she can stay in Singapore) because she can't even get an interview at Wal-mart in the Obamaconomy.

USA! USA!

You can do that quite easily with the quote feature. Welcome to vbulletin, 2004 is happy to have you.

It isn't that easy in many locations - in some areas I can't even access the site let alone certain features. It is easy now because I am at the American Club (10 Claymore Hill), location here:

and has a server that Singaporean officials will not censor because we're "American" unless it involves major pornography or anti-government websites) - hit quote, I can see the quote and respond accordingly. Yes, it is very easy. It isn't so easy in places in China especially if I'm not using my MacBook.

You don't need a feature. You simply type

[/qu0te]

But I admire your dedication. Not everyone would go to such lengths to participate in an internet forum. You should use TOR, I'm posting behind 7 proxies as we speak.

Too much work, I presume the zero was unintentional. At any rate I have to be very quick in a lot of my communications with optimal precision (which I admit is not 100% optimal), I don't see why putting something in quotes rather than using a quote feature is that difficult for the reader.

Is this that difficult to understand?:

'"I'm posting behind 7 proxies as we speak"

Why not 8?'

Well you're never going to make it far with that attitude.

No, intentional. Otherwise it wouldn't have shown up(as it would have activated the quote feature.)

'"I'm posting behind 7 proxies as we speak"

Most TOR users agree that 7 is the optimal number. After that, there's diminishing marginal returns.

"Most TOR users agree that 7 is the optimal number. After that, there's diminishing marginal returns."

The substance of my response wasn't the point, I don't know or even care about what you are talking about. My point was you understood my message as evidenced by the response. I simply said "why not 8" out of the blue as I saw a message with the number 7.

Of course you can't respond because it's true. let's see, you had Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Gingrich, Santorum, Pawlenty and Paul. I didn't include Portman because he was truly the sanest one in the room. You also had Trump, what a comical sideshow he was/is. And the whole time you had the Alaskan Quitter waiting in the wings to make her grand entrance. She didn't bother because even an idiot like her could see the sinkhole the Republicans were falling into. Romney won by default and he's in danger of being the fall guy for the party, much like McCain was four years ago. All you had to do was convince someone electable to run and this thing would have been sewn up by now.

"All you had to do was convince someone electable to run and this thing would have been sewn up by now."

So you are an Obama advocate I take it....I mean really what are you thinking?

I'm thinking that perhaps the sharp pencils in the Republican box decided early on that they wanted no part of this election. This thing should have been a slam dunk. There is still the possibility that Mitt can win it, but it's still a coin-toss at this point. A credible nominee would have left no doubt about a Republican victory.

Bain Capitol will probably be Mitt's downfall. He should have been up front and aggressive regarding his reasons for what he did. The Dems lie in waiting to bring out the tax ellusion card...at just the right time.

A really sore subject for Americans these days has to do with high unemployment...and outsourcing. I hope Romney wins, but the fallout will probably doom his chances.

What do you expect? Half the country pays no income tax, which is ridiculous. But obviously many of them will favor the guy who wants to keep it that way, duh. And 46.7 million get food stamps, who do you think they might tend to favor, the BIG government radical incumbent?.

So, wow, all those people make it a close race, no kidding?!?!

Heck, with those horrific stats it is a wonder anyone except a socialist/Marxist even has a glimmer of hope.

Get in the game!
