More random political spamming

Postby Ariel » Thu May 24, 2012 11:06 pm

I received this in an email and had to share:

[NOTE: I take no responsibility for the sometimes atrocious grammar used hereafter; this was written by someone else, and I didn't want to take all the time and go through and correct all the errors.]



I WANT TO GET RE-ELECTED (OBAMA)

An old West Virginia Hillbilly saying: You cannot get the water to clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek.

*SOME OF YOU MAY APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME OF YOU MAY NOT.*
*I DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR SENDING THIS BECAUSE OF IT'S TRUTH.*

*If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have
approved?*

*If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head? *

*If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal
immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on? *

*If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot? *

*If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that
have one of the best safety records of any industry because one foreign company had an accident, would you have agreed? *

*If any other of our presidents had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you support him? *

*If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would
you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes? *

*If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it a proud moment for America ? *

*If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a
minor slip? *

*If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States , wouldn't you have had second thoughts about his capabilities? *

*If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking
out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk. *

*If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment? *

*If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?*

*If any other of our presidents' administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown
Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11? *

*If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than
in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence? *

*If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is
happening in America , would you have ever approved. *

*If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

*So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? *

*Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 24 months -- so you have that much time to come up with an answer.*

*Every statement and action in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable. *
AND NOW, HE ACTUALLY WANTS US TO RE-ELECT HIM. HA WAKE UP AMERICA 2012 IS UPON US.

:clap: Well said.

I'm not a big fan of Romney, to be honest; I'd have preferred Herman Caine or Rick Santorum much more. But Romney would be *slightly* better than Obama.

Neither man is a great option. Electing a president this year will be like chosing which STD you want. Just my two cents.

It would take some digging, but I could probably find everything here. I got this from a reliable source I trust.

Thanx for the read. Now I gotta go take my blood pressure pills and remind myself why I quit smoking when it was such a stress reliever. :cursing:

http://www.factcheck.org/2011/06/obamas-bumbles/ addresses all of these questions. I only provide the quotes where I comment on to save space.
*If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have
approved?*

http://www.futuretimeline.net/subject/b ... litics.htm
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vd2xLvW0CHc/T ... tChart.jpg
The doubling of National debt was not observable.
Note that much of the deficit since 2000 arose from financing the wars and reduction of taxes for the rich.
Note that we had a global financial crisis in 2007 and both Presidents have issued aids for the financial industry to prevent a further financial collapse and many more job losses.

*If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot? *

Such a childish way to criticize individuals. Here are examples of the former President. http://www.nobeliefs.com/bushspeak.htm

*If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would
you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes? *

Another childish argument...

*If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? *

Terrible joke from the former President. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/3570845.stm
Bad jokes from Romney. http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/06/in ... presi.html
Another Childish argument.

*If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved? *

"Incorrectly formatted DVDs" is a bit misleading, note that American DVDs do not work with British/European DVD players.
Remember when Bush gave a shoulder rub to the German counselor? That was considered very disrespectful.

*If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it a proud moment for America? *

There were other videos and images included in the iPod. The Queen even requested it.

*If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia would you have approved? *

Like Bush didn't do that either. Holding hands with the Saudi Prince or kissing the Saudi King.

*If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States , wouldn't you have had second thoughts about his capabilities? *

Yeah, a slip up should disqualify anyone running for President! Like none of the other candidates (or previous Presidents) have done.

*If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking
out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk. *

I want to add that this is very misleading. (link at top of comment addresses it)

*If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?*

Like Former President Bush didn't do the same (twice I might add).

*Every statement and action in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable. *

24 Claims.
7 Partly True. 29.2%
6 Considered True. 25%
4 False. 16.7%
3 Exaggerated. 12.5%
2 Misleading. 8.3%
1 Undetermined. 4.2%
1 Viewer's/Reader's Choice. 4.1%

So only 25% of the claims were actually factual.

Cheers

It is truly sad that anyone believes ANYTHING that ANY politician says.

Obama is a racist who hates white people, i.e., "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon."

Romney is a mormon. Google "The tenets of mormonism", it has to be the most insane religion on the planet (and that's saying A LOT).

There hasn't been a candidate in over 30 years who isn't in the pocket of some corporation or bank.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE between republicans or democrats! Wake up!
