  2. Any Republican golfing partners would be a good start, but golfing with a Politician Republican (insert name) might be the answer to solving our Fiscal Cliff.
  3. Piers Morgan reported that Obama played 160 rounds of golf during his term, but only one round with a Republican. This is obvious Partisam Golfing and I am offended as a Non partisan golfer. IMO, Obama really needs to play more golf with Republicans.
  4. Well Romney would do it by cancelling Welfare programs, therefore only affecting the Lower Class.
  5. I wasn't considering your post when I responded, it was quite tame considering. I like your points and would like to add. 4th example: Romney lost woman vote because of pro life stance. 5th example- Romney lost because he said no tax increases yet he was increasing military by 200 Billion per year, but also claimed that he would be cutting deficit. How does that work?
  6. There is a tremendous amount of backlash out there from the Obama nomination. Many racist comments are coming from the sore losers and some seriously irate bloggers. The GOP and disconcerted bloggers blame the disconnect with Hispanics and individuals wanting a free hand out. What's up with that, I haven't heard about any new bills being sent through for additional assistance just the continuation of what was already in place. I studied the GOP platform and concluded that I simply did not care for any of Romney's platform ideals and I had trust concerns regarding his honesty. I was originally interested with Romney's business experience but then discovered his dramatic increase of the Defense budget and I dismissed that as a negative as well. I was also afraid about his stance against Iran and how that might escalate. I did not vote for Obama in 2008 because of his inexperience the last time out but felt he did a pretty good job by bailing us out and with the GOP criticising every decison he made during his term. If either party had brought better candidates to me I would reasonably considered their platform. The GOP needs to learn how to take care of their women and we would be having a different conversation. I was afraid we would get a backlash with a Romney election, which I believe most likely would have happened if he was elected, one can only imagine to what extent. I guess that is what you get with nearly a 50/50 nation and when you bring race into the equation. The GOP needs to quite whining and the critics need to let get over their loss and allow this Nation to heal. Tax reform is needed and Mitch McConnel has even agreed to some reforms. Obamacare was already approved, now is not the time to whine about it. The tax reforms are necessary and I believe can be fair. What we need everyone to remember we are suppose to be the UNITED States of America. Accept the decision and get on with life. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
  7. After reviewing all of the available data and using common sense factors, I would like to change my vote. I think President Obama should play more golf. Lets move Forward!!!
  8. They have some amazing golf courses too. You might want to roll one from the 17th at Pebble.
  9. Don't tell Romney, he will create a bill out lawing condems. Sorry couldn't resist. LA county IS THE KING OF PORN.
  10. I really hope at that time we have a President that plays golf. Lol..
  11. I'll take the bottom part..... I've had 25 years experience dealing with this system. It's Materials Supply 101 just on a larger more competitive scale. See attached link. http://scrambled.blinkweb.com/1/2010/07/getting-a-gsa-contract-for-dummies-b70fc/ It's not idea, but it works for them. There is some exasageration regarding the pens. They award contracts for supply and once implemented is not that difficult to manage. I don't recall that many supplies that are needed when I'm visiting a Doctor. Also, How is this going to change with Romney wanting to increase defense by 2 trillion (see below) building 3 more submarines and more aircraft carriers, they will be using the same GSA system. Just what we need, more Ships and Bombs. It increases low profit and temporary jobs that expire once they are built or R&D.; This is the mentality that slammed our economy into this depression and it's just plain ignorant Federal Budget platform infusing temporary jobs against archaic equipment in a self admitted archaic system. Being in this field would be great for me, but not for USA. I chose USA.... It really doesn't matter now, we will know in about 16 hours where our government is investing. You stated.... The beauty of our government is that we the people are supposed to have input on what level the federal government is involved in our lives" Really??? Guess what, to late. The ObamaCare was already approved on from the President through Congress and the House and we have clogged up Legistrature for several years getting this approved. Now all of this work and the complete reversal of our Government hinges on a few hicks in Ohio. Really, this is just insane, imature, asanine, asaten, asaeleven, etc... to have such a dramatic change of Government Policy in what appears as just a Non Partisam statement to get elected. Instead of a "Best interests of the United States oef America." http://ricks.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2012/10/08/budget_crunched_the_facts_of_romney_s_proposed_2_trillion_defense_increase
  12. I lived very well off of the Federal Government, GSA, Navy and DOD. I know the waste. Health care vs Defense, I choose Heath care. This was just a big negative to me for Romney consideration.
  13. I would say single payer is a possible avenue being considered. I can't intelligently speak if Obama has any other agenda, but I believe resolutely in the Obama Health Care plan and like any plan, you start with a plan, gather all of the data and make adjustments down the road. Singer payer could be a possibility, either way this was a big step, it doesn't make sense to cancel. It seems like partism ploy of automatically reverse opinion to incumbant. He has same plan in Mass?? I believe the plan is healthy for America as jobs in Health care are steady, health care is needed vs defense spending and it is good as a statement that our country will move forward with all the work that was put into the plan, whoever the replacement President will be.
  14. Yes, I've never seen our Nation on such a precipice as now and could have managed through another Carter Presidency. We need to go Forward....
