Oh, Romney. You've done it again.  big_smile

The abortion debate is NOT for Scratch, it's likely the most emotional issue out there.

The United States is the ONLY Western nation without universal healthcare. For an industrialized nation, our life expectancy is terrible, especially seeing as we pay about three times as much money. And why? Policies supported by conservatives.
The Affordable Care Act made healthcare more universal and improved the federal healthcare system's efficiency, which is already better than most insurance providers. A step in the right direction, yes?
Why in the world conservatives support shorter lifespan and higher costs, I have no idea.

After writing my comment twice with the intent to split it into two sections, and having Scratch be stupid and delete the comment because it exceeded 500 chars, I have to write my analysis here.

1, 2, and 3 are the same point, and completely ignore trends and FACTS. Like how Obama stopped the spike of unemployment started by BUSH and has brought it down BELOW 8 percent.
4. That's laughable. Fox News is the only non-biased source? Give me a break. MSNBC was freaking out after the first debate.
5. I have a bit to say about this, so let's break it into parts.
5a. As I have already said, Fox News is full of terrible people and bias. Saying that it is "Fair and Balanced" is enough to make me consider it a comedy channel.
5b. Mitt Romney, in the words of Univision, threw a tantrum about being in a special. First he threatened not to participate unless he could bring in external supporters (they were supposed to be people from the university, but Romney disregarded that) and those supporters ignored requests to remain quiet. Next, when they announced that Romney had given 35 minutes and that the president had given an hour, he "threw a tantrum" and demanded that they retape the segment with that section removed.
6. I'm not going to write you another novel.
7. Please explain what "standing up to China" is, and when Obama did not do it? This sounds like you took a line off of Romney's web site just randomly.
8. I thought "Government does not create jobs," so why is it important to meet with the jobs council [/sarcasm]
9. So what do you want the government to do about it? Regulate the oil market? Give subsidies? How socialist. What is the gas price where you live? Here in Iowa everyone is happy because there is a government mandate of ethanol, correlating to a subsidy that leaves the current price of gasoline at about $3.50 per gallon. Alternative energy and cheaper, what's not to love?
10. Yeah, case closed, I'm voting for Obama.

The story isn't over.
You're saying that we don't support a longer lifespan and lower costs because we're making healthcare available to more people. I fail to see any logic behind that. So, next time you attack us, use an attack that actually makes some sort of sense. While you're poor (i.e. bad, not financial state) attacks are funny to read because they're completely bogus, I'd appreciate something that had actual content.

You completely are misunderstanding zubblewu's statement. (S)He's saying that "conservatives support shorter lifespan and higher costs" because it is the opposite position to liberals.

Yes, Romney is a waste of money.
He wants to lower taxes on everybody (especially the rich) while increasing spending on the military who doesn't even want it.

Re: United States 2012 Presidential Election

I guess I'm for the guy with a good vision for America, but so far the candidates have equally good ideas as they do bad, at least that's what I heard from news station.

Why can't news stations be objective? Endorsing a candidate will do nothing but bring in maybe a few more people you drive away than they drive away.

Example- a dinosaur has been found in the Gobi desert

Regular, objective news: A dinosaur has been found in the Gobi desert.
Scientific, biased news: Hooray! A dinosaur has been found in the Gobi desert! Live is great!
'hood', biased news: Some weirdos were out digging in the desert and found some stupid bones. Why are people happy about this, it must be the fall of humanity.

Depending on who you watch, you could get a very different view, so I don't know who I would vote for. Guess it's a good thing I'm too young to vote, maybe in 2016 I'll have a better grasp on politics.

What? If we give the army more money they don't want then we can extend our secret intel network until we have key players close to every countries leader(s) so that we can conquer the whole world in one fell swoop. Obviously.

You make no sense there.

Anyway, Romney wants to build more Navy ships (something like 10 new ships and 3 submarines each year), while they have specifically said they don't want it. He's doing this and cutting taxes on the rich at the same time.
To pay for this, he says he will remove deductions. I'm still waiting for a SINGLE DEDUCTION he says he will remove. When asked, he has given NO ANSWERS WHATSOEVER! NOT A SINGLE ONE!

Anyway, my point, Romney's plan for military spending and paying for it with tax cuts seems like it came from another planet.
