    I'm watching the DNC, merely to form my own opinion.
    This party platform has apparently made it easier and more affordable for me to send my kids to college and afford healthcare.
    I'd really like to know when I might realize this. I qualify for NO aid of any kind. I qualify for NO assistance whatsoever.
    Yes, I fill out the forms. Apparently I am just too well off.(treading water)
    My daughter has excellent grades, strong work ethic and letters of reccomendation from her former professors and employers.
    Not one damn cent of help. Classmates free riding on the color of their skin with little chance of making a passing grade.

    I'm changing the channel now before I get in real trouble.

    Lie to me some more O.

    While simultaneously guaranteeing no job for them after college, thus making you and them stress the f*** out and put you in need of healthcare you might not have needed had the nation been more prosperous!

    Yeah, don't get too close to that DNC. Some of that shit they're shoveling might fly your way.

    I'm not too far off from "Government" retirement, a.k.a. Social Security & Medicare, and most likely will not see one red cent.

    My personal IRA is down 40% since 2009, and my one other mutual fund is down 32%.

    My home has taken a 25% hit in value.

    All because of a 16T (Trillion Dollar Government Debt).

    Four more years of this, and we all will be reduced to third-world poverty, and every thing we worked hard to build and save for our old age will be wiped out.

    Plus, there will be no one left to pay back the money that was taken from us by force, and FDR and LBJ's promises will be proven to be lies.

    Obama is not at all what most conservatives believe him to be: He is not a liberal progressive.

    He is a dyed-in-the-wool anti-colonialist with a socialist bent clothed in the cloak of the Democrat party.

    He is not incompetent: He is deliberately trying to force all Americans to pay reparations to the third world. And he is getting his way.

    The Democrats think him to be one of them. He is not. He is using them as "useful idiots."

    Read Dinesh D'Souza's book: Obama's America -- Unmaking The American Dream.

    Just as soon as I'm done with "Atlas Shrugged". I saw a truck in Hutto that had a bumber sticker that said "Looter". The two o's were obama party sign.

    obama is all over the book. Just not black.

    Up since 0330 - 10hr work day - home and cut the grass - no dinner yet - after shower turned on DNC

    Biden is laying it on so thick, even said BO has "a spine of steel" ~ I just threw up a little. No, a LOT!

    The mute button is a wonderful thing

    The drop in value of the house I can understand. But since the start of 2009, Treasury bonds, the S&P 500, the DJIA, NASDAQ and Russell 2K are all higher. What did you have in your IRA that lost 40% in the past 3 years?

    Easy does it there Skeeter, Vaquero's on our side, he was simply being diplomatic.

    That's some tasty venom you're spewing. I've learned to despise the term "politically incorrect", I do not refer to some as "African American" anymore unless I know they are in fact a legal African immigrant. And as much as I appreciate all who have served this country, I refused to sit quietly while a veteran suggested that ONLY veterans should be allowed to vote.

    Ahhbumma has to be the least prepared president of my lifetime. I think his presidency can only be described as a disaster. Not the kind of hope and change I was hoping for.

    I'm in no way FOR Obama. But you guys may want to take a read at this. I was starting to think that new Paul Ryan guy was finally going to be what we need. Looks like he's just about as full of shit.

    Paul Ryan

    You know it's bad when it's a FOX opinion piece against thier own guy.

    Wait, what? It was brought up that ONLY vets should vote? Yea, as a vet I'm gonna call MAJOR bullshit on that. We have a hard enough problem getting people to vote as it is-no need to restrict that even more. Plus- there's plenty of fine, patriotic Americans out there who haven't served because either they physically can't, or they just have thier own way to help out thier country.

    That sounds to me like a step in the direction of trying to force everyone to serve a minimum 4 year service.

    I take back the last part of my post, but yea-that's still a jacked up idea on several levels.

    I would tend to agree with the last part. Almost like saying you aren't a citizen unless you have served.

    "That sounds to me like a step in the direction of trying to force everyone to serve a minimum 4 year service."

    That's the part I take back...since this wasn't something being discussed by the candidates like I initally thought it was. But yea-the rest of it, I fully stand by.

    ...

    I knew guys at the Community College i went to that got $3000 a semester just because of the color of their skin and never went to a single class. I asked them how they could keep getting the money when they were failing classes. I was told that they had to fail two semesters to lose the eligibility. After that if they passed one class that they paid for then they would be eligible again. So they would all take an online PE class over the summer and start collecting the grants again. They kept repeating this process over and over because the school couldn't stop them because they cant turn down a minority that applies for school.
