OBAMA: MAKE CLIMATE CHANGE A MUST FOR YOUR VOTE - Fox 10
59 minutes ago ... President Barack Obama is urging Americans to make climate change a political litmus test, asking them to declare they won't vote for any ...
Why did Obama win the 2009 Nobel Peace prize?
I prefer a ratio of facts to opinions greater than 3:1, please.
Answer: “Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” the committee said. “His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.”
http://www.apakistannews.com/why-did-obama-win-the-nobel-peace-prize-141673
President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday because the judges found his promise of disarmament and diplomacy too good to ignore.
The five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee – four of whom spoke to The Associated Press, said awarding Obama the peace prize could be seen as an early vote of confidence intended to build global support for the policies of his young administration.
They lauded the change in global mood wrought by Obama's calls for peace and cooperation, and praised his pledges to reduce the world stock of nuclear arms, ease U.S. conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthen its role in combating climate change.
"Some people say – and I understand it – 'Isn't it premature? Too early?' Well, I'd say then that it could be too late to respond three years from now," Thorbjoern Jagland, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, told the AP. "It is now that we have the opportunity to respond – all of us."

OBAMA: MAKE CLIMATE CHANGE A MUST FOR YOUR VOTE - ABC News
1 hour ago ... President Barack Obama is urging Americans to make climate change a political litmus test, asking them to declare they won't vote for any ...
Will anyone be able to vote for obama and other global warming hoax defenders knowing that the aim is?
the aim is total control of all Americans lives? Knowing that these people want to outlaw the very air you exhale?
Answer: Global warming/climate change has just become a new religious cult based in greedy power grabbing and hopes of world domination through "climate legislation". In the past it was the religious zealots who burned the truth telling scientists at the stake today it is climate change political zealots trying to silence the truth tellers and sell the world some very expensive SNAKE OIL.
It seems global warming advocates are determined to turn logic and biology upside down. Anyone who remebers basic high school biology knows carbon dioxide is essential to plant life as oxygen is essential to human life. These two basic facts can't be separated. Only Obama-style liberals will attempt to convince us about how critical combating global warming is to the Earth's survival. As then Sen. Hillary Clinton said to Gen. David Petreaus, we must be "...willing to suspend all disbelief." I'm not willing to do so!
Global warming, or climate change, which ever they decide to call it this year, is not based on science at all. it's all based on the consensus of a few scientist who have something to gain by furthering this farce. Guess what that is? $$$$
Anyone who believes Carbon Dioxide is a pollutant should stop breathing. Since we exhale Carbon Dioxide in every breath, we are literally polluting the atmosphere. So stop breathing and reduce your carbon footprint, or say NO to cap and trade & the whole global warming hoax.
We can't project an accurate forecast a week in advance and yet we say that we're doomed in the future? I believe in eliminating waste and keeping things clean so that I, and my family, can safely enjoy the outdoors but I also know where the comforts of life come from and that is manufacturing that uses energy and supplies that are either grown or mined somehow. Follow the research grants and see what is being pushed.
I have a simple question I would like someone to answer for me, If the specific gravity (relative density) of air is 1.00 and the specific gravity (relative density) of CO2 is 1.5189, that means CO2 is heavier than air and settles on the Earth's surface where green plants need it. How then can CO2 be in the Earth's upper atmosphere and stratosphere trapping the Sun's rays and heating up the planet? Anybody? Anybody? Hello? That's what I thought.

2 hours ago ... WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is urging Americans to rally support for his plan to combat climate change.
Full Transcript of Obama's Remarks on Climate Change - WSJ Blogs ...
The White House transcript of President Barack Obama's remarks on climate change at Georgetown University Tuesday. ... (Applause.) It was important for me to speak directly to your generation, because the decisions that we make now and in the years ahead will have a profound impact on the world that all of you inherit. Associated .... You can barely get that many votes to name a post office these days. ..... And I'm convinced this is a fight that America must lead.
Should we put a cap and trade on volcanoes?
Answer: That could be next. "Thou Shalt Not Mock Obama" or the Dems will start shrieking about floods, dinosaurs, and The Children. They will indignantly accuse any opposition of “fear-mongering” over the costs of radical greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Then, without missing a beat, the Democrats will return to their wild predictions of the earth fizzling up and their grandchildren perishing like the prehistoric creatures who once roamed our doomed Earth.
Deliberation in Washington is dead. We don’t have legislators. We have lemmings. We don’t have debates. We have high-speed hysteria sessions. After ramming through stimulus legislation that no one read and bailout bills that no one understood, Congress is now poised to stuff down taxpayers’ throats a deficit-exploding $3.5 trillion budget that enshrines the largest tax increase in American history. Welcome to the cap-and-trade crap sandwich.
The Democrats want to rig the game so you don’t have time to figure out this latest act of collective thievery before it’s perpetrated. They have been colluding on a plan to circumvent the Senate’s 60-vote threshold and amendment process by attaching their massive green tax scheme to a special budget legislative maneuver called, “budget reconciliation” in the parlance of the Washington pork sausage-makers.
http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/dem-senators-want-special-rule-for-climate-change-2009-03-28.html
No less than Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd criticized this short-circuiting of debate as an “outrage that must be resisted” and “an undemocratic disservice to our people.” But the eco-zealots on the Hill seem hell-bent on telling Americans to shut up and swallow. o_O

What was the "purpose" of Obamas second inaugural speech?
What is his central message? Who is the audience?(not just everyone)
Answer: President Barack Obama delivered his second inaugural address Monday to a packed crowd on the National Mall. Here’s POLITICO’s list of the 10 most memorable quotes from the 18-minute speech:
1. “We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional — what makes us American — is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago.”
2. “For now decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate.”
(See also: Complete coverage of the Inauguration 2013)
3. “We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few.”
4. “My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it — so long as we seize it together.”
5. “But we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action.”
6. We will support democracy from Asia to Africa; from the Americas to the Middle East, because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom.
7. “But while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American. That is what this moment requires. That is what will give real meaning to our creed.”
8. “Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law — for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.”
9. “We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations.”
10. “You and I, as citizens, have the obligation to shape the debates of our time — not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals.”

Who is the best presidential candidate?
I hate people voting for candidates just because of their race or gender just so that there will be a black or female president, who do you think would be the best candidate for issues such as the economy and increasing foreign debt and climate change, not considering race or gender or age.
Answer: I'm not sure. I really want to see the debates in the general election when the candidates must present themselves to all the American voters and not just members of their party. I think Hillary is motivated by power and will say anything to get and maintain it, so she's out. McCain needs to flex those foregin policy muscles and give us more than the 100 years bit on Iraq. Obama needs to be tested.
I think after a few Obama / McCain debates I'll be able to make my decision.

Whats the next issue that conservatives will lose on?
Conservatives always fail to stop liberals. They failed to stop women from voting; were humiliated on the issue of prohibition; they lost the fight against Social Security; they were crushed on issues on Medicare, Medicaid, and health care reform; they failed to block Voting Rights laws (whereby big government oversaw elections in some of the red states); they failed to block the income tax; they are losing on gay rights; they failed to stop minimum wage laws and unemployment compensation; they failed to block school lunch programs; they failed to stop Clintons Family and medical Leave Act; and they failed to stop the Motor Voter Act.
To give them their due, it must be said that they do succeed in slowing the tides of change, just that they are always destined to lose.
What do you think their next big defeat will be? Climate legislation? Immigration reform? Something else?
Answer: Immigration reform. It must be tough for conservatives to be constantly on the wrong side of history, but time always moves forward, never backwards. The 50's are in the past, and we're never going back.
@ How would I know. let's talk about those problems you mentioned
Collapse of the economy, happened in September 2008, back when you were saying "NO way a black man will ever be presOdent.
Massive debt, Started under Reagan, continued under Bush 41. Clinton left a surplus, Bush 43 pissed in away, and a lot more.
Double digit unemployment, that stage was set by the economic collapse of 2008. unemployment number were dropping like a stone long before Obama took over.
High crime, depends on the city but mostly ebbs ands flow regardless of who's in control. If you want to see where crime took a huge nose dive under a democrat, look at Newark NJ, and our next black president in 2016, Cory Booker. (I know you don't want to see it, but look anyway)
Failed education system. How is that the liberals fault? because they don't allow water boarding in the classrooms? It's the conservatives who cut the budget whenever they want to give the military another fighter jet, and cut taxes. Also, if it liberals causing the failure of the educational system, then why is it that the worst school systems are in states where liberalism is considered a capital offense?

What do you think of Ron Paul?
Would you vote for him? I certainly would, and will. Hes the only man that wants to cut government spending, get the government out of our lives, and get us out of Iraq. Hes the perfect package.
So, what do you Democrats think of Dr. Paul. Ive heard a lot of Democrats say that theyll switch to Republican to vote for him in the primaries so that there will be an anti-war candidate on both sides of the race. Whats your opinion of him?
Answer: Well I can never ever vote for the following:
Hillary Clinton
John Edwards
Mitt Romney
Rudy Giuliani
Fred Thompson
John McCain
Bill Richardson
Newt Gingrich
Barack Obama
Chris Dodd
Despite what they say about all the good things they would do because they are members of the CFR. and want to obliterate the borders and our national sovereignty.
Not a myth, not a theory ....A FACT. Research the paper entitled Building a North American Community of the CFR website.
President of CFR RIchard Haas said " Some governments are prepared to give up elements of sovereignty to address the threat of global climate change...sovereignty must be redefined if the states are to cope with globalisation"

OBAMA: MAKE CLIMATE CHANGE A MUST FOR YOUR VOTE - Technology ...
1 hour ago ... WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is urging Americans to make climate change a political litmus test, asking them to declare they.
Would most Obama supporters sell their soul to him if they could?
I have addressed this a thousand times, i am for a FACT on account 27, why would I lie about that? I have been using this crappy site ever since it started sometime in 2006.
Answer: They already did sell their soul to him. They just don't know it.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. In order to give people money, they have to steal it from others. These people cut back spending and more poverty, misery and immorality is created. Liberals have so much envy of the rich, they can't see the outcomes of their policies. Poverty has a side benefit for liberals, the more poverty they cause, the more power they have. If you take away hope of a better future, these "impoverished" people vote to steal more money from the rich out of envy. They shoot themselves in the foot to punish the gun.
All liberal thought, philosophy, values, beliefs and policies are rooted in specific fundamental lies or logical fallacies. The liberal agenda is driven by envy and the desire to commit evil, immoral, acts.
Taxing the rich does not help the poor. It creates more poverty. A CEO does not pay the corporations taxes. taxes are a cost of business. Employees work harder for less. Customers pay more for less. Shareholders are able to save less for retirement.
Murdering premature babies has absolutely nothing to do with a woman's right to choose what happens to her own body. Another small, innocent, body is affected far more.
Paying women to have children out of wedlock only results in more women having children out of wedlock. The children earn immorality from their mothers. Men are made irreverent because at that age, the government takes care of kids far better than the man who impregnated the mother.
Since all liberal thought is based on such lies. All liberal rhetoric is simply justification of the lies.
If you are debating any liberal, you have to know, the very first sentence will be a lie and he must be stopped at that point before he goes on. If you let him assume a lie, he will win the debate.
Taxing gasoline corporations would only result in higher gas prices, but envy of the rich drives liberals to tax and punish achievers.
Liberals don't care if their taxes go up. It's crazy but it's true. They are so deeply intrenched in their envy of the rich, they can't see past the initial lie.
They believe the global warming myth. It's simply impossible for them to see all their "research" is based on fundamental lies" Mankind is no more able to change the weather than he is able to sit on the sun. It's part of their culture to devalue God and religion. They are totally incapable of understanding the truth about climate change. Their lack of faith makes them more dependent on man and they ignore the miracles of life and nature.
Fighting evil is not evil, Indeed, if we don't fight evil, it grows stronger and more invasive into culture. They wish to lose the war on terror. They protect the guilty and leave the innocent They seek to destroy freedom of religion and fight to commit immoral acts. They have such good intentions. They wish to help the poor. They wish to help unwed mothers. They wish to stop a war and save the lives of those who would fight it. We both know they travel the road paved with good intentions and we both know where it leads.
I'm more and more convinced, the leader of the liberal philosophy is the father of all lies. I am also convinced, if you wish to predict the next turn in liberal policy formation, ask yourself the question, "which way will cause the most poverty, misery and immorality?" You will never go wrong.

Is Romney becoming the new champion of the anti-science movement?
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/14/us/politics/fossil-fuel-industry-opens-wallet-to-defeat-obama.html/
Is there anything odd about a Harvard educated businessman acting dumb as dirt over and over and over?
Or is he just assuming that the way to win the votes of the dumb and the duped is by vocalizing their ignorance?
Answer: Based on his answers to the recent ScienceDebate.org questionnaire, I'd say Romney and his team have a fairly good handle on most [pressing] scientific issues, albeit through an ideological filter. In fact, with the exception of his cringe-worthy comments on the scientific consensus, his answer to the climate change question wasn't completely terrible.
However, Romney's problem on this issue is two-fold:
1) The voting public is myopic. Your link notes that pocketbook issues are currently far more important to the average voter than seemingly far-flung and ambitious matters like climate change or environmental degradation. The economic climate is different than it was in '08, and with the economy, jobs, and personal income weighing most heavily on the electorate's mind, any promise of relief at the communal pump scores big points. Add in the bump he gets in those all-important coal-and-oil-producing or gas-centric automobile manufacturing swing-states (Virginia, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, etc.), and promised energy-sector jobs resulting from his "all of the above" approach (e.g. from the Keystone XL pipeline), and you see that it's not exactly a losing strategy. That's why Obama has maintained a near identical tack, and why environmentalists on the left have grown increasingly disillusioned while Obama has allowed environmental issues to take a backseat.
2) To win the election, Mitt must win both the GOP base, who have never been particularly enthusiastic about him, and the disenchanted moderates/independents who voted for Obama last go-around. Regardless of his personal feelings on AGW, he can neither fully embrace the scientific consensus, lest he lose his base, nor outright deny and risk scaring away the mutable middle. Even if he personally accepts AGW, his precarious position amongst the GOP would never allow for a "Nixon to China" type of moment, and realistically the issue would need to be introduced gradually. If he doesn't, jobs and the economy will take precedent anyway for the foreseeable future.

OBAMA: MAKE CLIMATE CHANGE A MUST FOR YOUR VOTE | khou.com Houston
1 hour ago ... WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is urging Americans to rally support for his plan to combat climate change.
This Climate Change Crusade has been going on for 20 years, so is it time for Dems to turn the screw?
The Democrats are actually hoodwinking illegals, in order to benefit the party.
Think about this: What do the illegal aliens gain by the amnesty bill that’s being pushed forward by the Republicrats?
The answer is, nothing.
They’re not “living in the shadows.” The fact is, they have all the benefits they could possibly need right now.
Illegals have free health care. They get free legal representation from the ACLU and other left-wing groups.
The only thing they don’t get is to pay taxes!
And that’s the only thing they’re going to get when they become citizens.
They’re gonna get screwed with the rest of us by paying more in taxes to Obama
The only ones getting anything out of amnesty is the Democratic Party, who will get a perennially loyal voting base, plus millions of new people to tax.
ISSA RUBIO 2016
Answer: You forget. They will get 43 million supporters of AGW. You also forget that, down the road the Democrats will turn on these same people and tax their bean intake, saying that it adds CO2 and Methane into the atmosphere. Gore can start a whole industry. Bean Cap and Trade based upon bean intake.
You also forget that the greenies and democrats (I know that must seem redundant) will now have a unrestricted flow of marijuana. This will result in more islands tipping over, chasing to Mars, trying to recover all that lost heat and riding CO2 cycles all over Washington.

Is Obama against using nuclear power because he wouldnt be able to make Cap and Trade money from it?
How could nuclear power provide the revenue stream that using coal & natural gas does?
Answer: You are right. I keep waiting for an announcement that says: We interrupt this financial crisis to bring you a gargantuan federal power grab masquerading as an economic stimulus. The Obama hysteria is embarrassing to witness - "Thou Shalt Not Mock Obama" or the Dems will start shrieking about floods, dinosaurs, and The Children. They will indignantly accuse any opposition of “fear-mongering” over the costs of radical greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Then, without missing a beat, the Democrats rwill return to their wild predictions of the earth fizzling up and their grandchildren perishing like the prehistoric creatures who once roamed our doomed Earth.
Deliberation in Washington is dead. We don’t have legislators. We have lemmings. We don’t have debates. We have high-speed hysteria sessions.

Anyone Else both Anti-Liberal, and Anti-Conservative, with more respect for Conservatives?
As for why more respect for conservatives. Is Conservatives dont wait to act on a threat.
I do agree with you Sig. The conservatives are often full of Shit. But that .
And the Climate Change is natural. There is nothing we can do. Other than helping the Air. Which gets fairly polluted. Global Warming is a lie.
Answer: Count me in on that one!------Extremists in this "world" are what gets everyone in trouble.---As for me, I am a very progressive type guy but with a very conservative tilt! Take time to think it out and move slow so as not to do more harm than good. That true Definition of Conservative, not the ultra right wing nut jobs and not the Social Liberals that have taken liberalism to mean Hand outs and no personal responsibility. Only social responsibility with someone Else's resources! That is the Ultra side of Liberalism.
My Brother and I are different parties, I Republican and He a Democrat but yet we find little to disagree on since we are all both in the same boat it is just which Label we prefer. We both prefer to follow the Constitution and it seems that the "Ultra" side of Both parties want to bend it to the breaking point in the pursuit of "POWER" for the Government.
I might be a Libertarian if they had any steam to get anything done but they don't and I don't intend to waste my one precious vote on someone with no chance to win.
I must add here that in my view, Obama is neither a traditional Conservative or Liberal but a completely undisguised Socialist with very strong Communist leanings. He seems to be using the "Hugo Chavez blueprint" to "Personal" power right here in the United States. Be very wary of his attempts to Nationalize America and stick Government into private enterprise where it has no business! Let Bad business fail, and good ones thrive. That is the American way. If we are to have "Freedom" then that must include the "Freedom" to make bad decisions and fail! We cannot reward failure and success has it's own reward!
Edit:-----If this is a question on Climate Change then let me add my two cents on that as well:
Yes there has been Global warming! All you have to do is look at the temp. records or even just remember a little if you are old enough! The problem is what causes it!
Global warming has been going on off and on along with global cooling since the earth was formed and a long time before man even had Fire! Now he surely did not have emissions from burning hydro carbons. Even if every man 100,000 years ago started a forest fire it would not have cause global warming since there were not that many men!
This is a Cycle that the earth goes through and man cannot change it at all. If man, even Al Gore, thinks he is so powerful as to do that then he has an ego the size of the universe! The main cause of Global Warming is the Sun spot (Flares) activity. After all it is the sun that provides our warmth. These same flares affect Radio/TV transmissions as well. If the sun provides more radiation than we have warming, if it provides less then we have cooling! Evidence of these cycles have been found in numerous places in the world.
Another cause is more earthly and involves eruptions of undersea and surface volcanoes. Undersea causes a warming of the ocean water and changes the currents etc. Surface ones cause heat as well but more so they cause Smoke and ash that block the sun rays for several years resulting in cooling.
Now, Global warming of course affects us in many ways by changing the climate and shifting the earths ability to sustain crops for the food we eat and the lumber we use etc. It is good for some and bad for others.
Now, the issue of pollution which many try to say causes global warming! The pollution is very bad and much should be done about it to protect the health of all earth inhabitants, Human, animal, fish plant etc. All suffer! We must clean it up in order to survive but it will not change the "Climate"!
Yes science believes we are now entering a period of "Cooling" because of the sun spot activity but that will not fix the pollution problem, only man can do that. Man cannot change the climate!
Every community in the world is affected in a negative way by the pollution problem because the air and water currents constantly spread it around the world. Some communities are actually helped by global warming while other suffer but most will adapt as they have for millenniums. None are helped by pollution.
Stop worrying about Global Climate change and focus on pollution for the real reasons and causes. They are not linked. Al Gore had a big hollywood production! So What? Some of it was created in the studio for an earlier movie and lifted to purport to be destruction of the glaciers. This is just politics and propaganda as usual. Al gore is a bore, a liar, a publicity hound and when it comes to "Pollution" hes is one of the worst Polluters in America and want to clear his concious whth "Carbon Credits"! What a bunch of bull that is! What he is saying is that if you are rich enough you don't have to get with the program, just "Buy" you way out with no personal responsibility or actions!

What is this sacrifice obama is talking about?
He was saying on the campaign trail that Americans are going to have to sacrifice, whats he talking about exactly? Why should I have to sacrifice anything? I didnt vote for him, have no debt and live within my means...
I do work.. and I did get off my lazy butt in 1995 and enlisted in the Marines...
Answer: I believe he was talking about his 'Cap and Trade' policy. He mentioned it again recently during his overseas tour. He knows that it will raise the cost of energy - in fact he said it would drastically raise the cost of energy for the consumer, and this is the sacrifice he is asking us to make - energy will be basically rationed - government would control your daily usage and dictate which appliances, light bulbs, and hours of the day for your energy consumption.
He rationale is that we, the Americans he is supposedly representing, must sacrifice for a unproven climate change fantasy while countries like India and China do nothing. During his trip he actually said - the US has the largest footprint and developing countries like India should not have to inhibit their development by paying carbon taxes. What the heck? What about our growth - we're heading for a depression, DUH! He is such a stinking globalist - everybody is more important than us. We should suffer and become the milk cow and slave of the rest of the world.
I worked all of my life and I agree with you. This is supposed to be the land of the free. Government has no right telling us to suffer while letting the rest of the world get off scott free.
And I don't understand liberals who support Obama. They want government completely out of their bedrooms and women's bodies, but they want it in everything else. Hypocrites!

Obama's Climate Change Speech FTW – Greg Laden's Blog

For what possible reason would a lower or middle class person vote for the GOP; the party that openly works?
to screw the same lower and middle classes???
Answer: No good reason, and certainly not freedom. The GOP wants in your bedroom, in your doctor's office, etc.
Five reasons to vote for Obama and Democrats:
1. The Economy and the destructive Tax Code - For the last 30 years, the United States tax code has helped destroy the American economic climate. It began in 1980 with Reagan, who lowered the top tax rate from 70% to 28%, and raised taxes on the middle class eleven times. As he tripled the national debt, Reagan borrowed from Social Security to make up for his reckless tax policies. The economy began to improve as President Clinton raised the top tax bracket back to 39%. With the start of the "Bush Tax cuts," the rich got richer and the rest of the country began to struggle. With dangerously low capital gains rates, more loopholes for big oil and gas companies and wall street running wild, the economy finally crashed in 2008. As President Obama continues to try to bring the economy and country back on track, he can't do it with Republicans overwhelming him in congress. The destructive tax code and our economy are at the top of the list for reasons to vote for President Obama and the Democrats in 2012.
2. "Entitlements"- Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, are three of the most successful programs that Americans have relied on for decades. Republicans want to hand them over to Wall Street to gamble and continue to add to their profits. President Obama and the Democrats want to preserve them and help them become stronger. Republicans often lie about these programs, calling them broke, un-American or a Ponzi Scheme. Social Security itself has a $2.6 trillion dollar surplus and can pay out 100% of its benefits until 2037, and 80% of its benefits until 2057. Currently, there is a cap on Social Security. If you make $1 million a year you pay into SS on about 10% of your income. If you make under $106,800 you pay on 100% of your income. The Democrats want to raise the cap, having the wealthy pay their fair share, to make SS solvent for decades. Republicans want to prevent that.
3. Wars - George Bush jumped the gun with false information and invaded Iraq. We're still paying to rebuild it. President Obama has brought troops out of Iraq and he got Osama bin Laden. While the hypocritical Republicans talk about cutting spending, they never want to cut where the biggest fat is, military spending. The president will continue to bring troops home from Iraq and cut money from unneeded projects.
4. Civil Rights - The world is changing and people's views change with the times. However, not everyone seems willing to change. Whether it's the utter hate of homosexuals, Blacks, women, Hispanics, or others, the Republican Party has taken a stance towards bigotry. The first bill that was passed by the Obama administration was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, that gave women the right to be paid at the same rate as men. In addition, Democrats around the country have rallied for same-sex equality as well as the official overturn of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. The Republican War on Women produced 1,100 bills against women in 2011. They’re on track to top that in 2012. Democrats must be voted back in office or the Republicans will turn back the clock on our country's progress.
5. Simple Science - Teaching young children to deny scientific facts and knowledge that are accepted by nearly 99% of the scientific community is irresponsible. As the Tea Party has pulled the Republican Party to the political right, they have stepped all over science. With their denial of man-made Climate Change and their ludicrous and dangerous stance on evolution, the Republican Party has proven that if they gain anymore power that the teaching of facts might be a thing of the past.
Now, President Obama and the Democrats have their faults. Not everything they do you might agree with, sometimes you might heavily disagree. However, the difference between the two major political parties are very clear. Voting to put more Republicans in charge will only bring the country to the break of failure.
