I agree I think the drones attacks are horrible, they are killing innocent people and nobody seems to care.

What does a conventional war have to do with the drone attacks? I don't believe anyone is calling for an invasion of Pakistan.

You stated that you were against drone attacks because they kill innocent people and I countered with a statement that any style of warfare innocent people are killed. Not too complicated a point to grasp there Point. So I guess you don't care about putting our soldiers lives in danger rather then simply use drones. Both cases innocents are going to be killed. However in your world of discrediting EVERYTHING about Obama I can see how you made the point. He should be lauded for using drone attacks as it saves American lives which you seem to have no interest in doing since you are against drone attacks. Why would you take this position just to discredit Obama?

If that's the best you can do maybe it was better to not answer at all. Dr Pacheco would be calling for a stoppage at this point.

"Conservatives who hate Obama constantly threaten to leave the country if Obama is re-elected. Unfortunately, they cannot find another rich first-world country that doesn't have both a higher income tax rate and mandatory government-sponsored health care for everyone"

By the way you never stated where the base would have for your special elite unit going into a country that was the strictest theocracy in the world.

Little hint for you, other people should declare a winner in a debate, you crowning yourself just shows you ran out of intelligent things to say.

WTF asinine question...

i stole the title from a new yorker story but it was too good to pass up.

it turns out that mitt didn't misspeak when he talked about the 47%. he really does believe it.

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...,1719033.story

and from the new yorker article in response:

Conservatives have constructed a myth that says certain groups—blacks, Hispanics, women, young people—vote Democratic because they’re stupid, because they’re lazy, and because they can be purchased with trinkets and baubles. It’d be one thing if they kept that myth a secret, but instead they shout it from the rooftops. Then, when it’s over, they wonder why those people voted Democratic again.

Romney was never the worst offender on this score; he never delighted in it, as people like Matt Drudge and Rush Limbaugh do. But he certainly participated. Indeed, part of his problem throughout this campaign, and the one before it, is that he’s never been good at disguising his lack of respect for the American electorate. His changing positions, his evasions about them, his misrepresentations—they all, ultimately, came off as a challenge: I think you’re too stupid not to fall for this. And there are very few people who appreciate being told they’re dumb, or the person who said it.

There are, of course, other, larger problems for the Republican Party to grapple with over the next few years. But they’ll have trouble solving many of them if they can’t get past this and realize that Democrats don’t have to bribe voters—not when their opponents are so interested in insulting them.

Nobody cares that a teenaged U.S. citizen was targeted by the double-super-secret panel.
