streaker sounds like a guy just having some fun posting inflammatory stuff. As someone who likes to amuse himself at other posters' expense, I can respect that. ;).

Opie is a True Believer. Upon Obama's re-election he's going to fence off his yard with barbed wire, get armed to the teeth and declare his property a sovereign nation! Opie's neighbors must wonder every night how many people they killed in a previous life to have to live next door to him in this one.

Congressional votes -
House of Representatives
On September 14, 2001 bill House Joint Resolution 64 passed in the House. The totals in the House of Representatives were: 420 Ayes, 1 Nay and 10 Not Voting. The Nay was Barbara Lee, D-CA. [2] Lee is notable as the only member of either house of Congress to vote against this bill.[3]

Senate
On September 14, 2001 Senate Joint Resolution 23 passed in the Senate by roll call vote. The totals in the Senate were: 98 Ayes, 0 Nays, 2 Present/Not Voting (Senators Larry Craig - R and Jesse Helms - R).


The War in Iraq did not enjoy such support but still passed with the help of 111 Democratic votes in both houses.


The war is a lot of things, but I don't think it is a product of only one party.



As for your Benghazi comments, shameful.

But the junior senator from Illinois was there, displaying his breath taking grasp of foreign policy and military tactics and strategy.

I was referring to his keen analysis that the surge in Iraq "couldn't work," and that our mission there had "failed." A mission for which he now modestly takes credit.

Of all of the people who've run for president in my lifetime only B. Hussein Obama had a resume so thin that his tenure as a state legislator was considered relevant. Pathetic. And his amateur hour administration has proven the point. Most recently his gross ineptitude in Benghazi.

"Kids" dying reminds me of the shock Doctors Without Borders expressed when they discovered a meat locker full of dead children after the fall of Hussein. These were the bodies he periodically put on display to "prove" the point that sanctions were killing children.

You know, I sometimes miss video of that brutish thug firing a rifle on the balcony while he wears that ridiculous Tyrolean hat. Then I cheer myself up by re-running the video of him dropping through the trap.

Warms me up to this very day.

Yeah, right. You were referring to getting caught in yet another BS argument, although in your defense at your advanced age you probably don't know what year it is. From your postings you do seem to be stuck in 1980...

So your analysis is that His Islamistness pulled the chicken switch--but he had a good reason for doing it? What is the "risk" of blowing some rag head mother-effing Islamo-fascist a*sholes (who are attacking an American diplomatic mission) to h*ll?

Collateral damage - and you know this.

Leaders have to consider and weigh such things. Morons on message boards don't.

Opie doesn't know much. Hundreds of Marines get blown up on Reagan's watch in Beirut and its "ahhh, sh ! t happens". Terrorists use spontaneous demonstration at a consulate to kill 4 Americans and he wants to fire up impeachment hearings. The difference? What party was in the WH at the time, nothing else.

Remind me of your many posts expressing concern about "collateral damage" when His Liarness is taking bows for killing terrorists.

I may be a "moron" as you so elegantly put it. But if I were president I'd know what my solemn duty is. And it would be to do everything in my power to protect and save the lives of the diplomats whose safety was my personal responsibility.

Misdirect. Redirect. Change the subject. Refer to Reagan. It's all you've got. Enjoy it while you can.

Only a troll or a fool would continue to use the word "spontaneous" in connection with the events in Benghazi. Which are you? And what's the difference?

Now part of the first one is due to the recession I'm sure, but apparently youngsters don't drive as much as previous generations, even to the point of getting their licenses later on or not at all (clearly they grew up in far more interesting towns than I did where a car was the only way to escape).

That doesn't account for kids like my cousin, who doesn't want to get her license because she prefers to be chauffeured around by my aunt (or idiots like our friend crazytechfan who were "afraid of the Yooper Loop" :p). There's apparently more of that attitude than you might think. :rolleyes: I can only imagine my dad's reaction had I tried to pull that stunt a decade ago.

Frankly, I don't get it. Everyone I knew in high school couldn't wait to get a car, myself included. I loathed doing all that "student" driving with my dad in the passenger seat. For many of us, a car was the first thing we had to get a crappy manual labor job and work for. Though I suppose there are less of those McJobs to go around at the moment.

In a rural area, you're absolutely correct. It's a rite of passage. That's why I still enjoy taking road trips. For the urban kids, because they're so used to mass transit, they already have the freedom to go where they please.
 
Re: 2012 Presidential Election Part 4

More updates (some repeats from previous posts):

Here are the latest polls from the battleground states:

Ohio: Obama 50%, Romney 45% (Quinnipiac)

Ohio: Obama 50%, Romney 45% (Public Policy Polling)

Ohio: Obama 48%, Romney 46% (University of Cincinnati)

Florida: Obama 48%, Romney 47% (Quinnipiac)

Florida: Romney 50%, Obama 47% (Gravis)

Iowa: Obama 50%, Romney 45% (Public Policy Polling)

Michigan: Obama 48%, Romney 45% (Detroit News)

North Carolina: Obama 49%, Romney 49% (Public Policy Polling)

Pennsylvania: Obama 48%, Romney 44% (Franklin and Marshall)

Virginia: Obama 49%, Romney 47% (Quinnipiac)

Virginia: Romney 49%, Obama 44% (Roanoke)

Wisconsin: Obama 51%, Romney 46% (Public Policy Polling)

Wisconsin: Obama 51%, Romney 43% (Marquette Law)
------------------------------------------------------------

You know, looking at these #'s I'm not sure where Mittens goes from here. Quinnipiac hasn't been too kind to Obama over this election season and even they have him leading. Worse those Ohio numbers are horrific verified by multiple pollsters. With Obama having 243 votes locked up, a simple IA, OH, WI puts him on easy street.
 
Re: 2012 Presidential Election Part 4

Rover if you want to talk polls you need to give us sample size, voter/registered/likely, Dem/Rep + or - and state by state and organization that paid for the poll.

I'll stick with internals.
