you are talking numbers and reality here...  you know he is going to run like a coward

It is unbelievable how daft you are. I'm fairly certain in your state of confusion 100% of you is on welfare. Are you really dumb enough to believe the % of people on welfare in a state is more important than the $ allocated to that state???

Clueless................

Let's recap.

Facts and statistics were posted in this thread. You cited neither but made a statement in contrast to the citations.

I pointed it out.

And your response above.

What excatly did they teach you in that fake school where you received your fake MBA anyway.

What are the parameters that flesh out and nail down who exactly the 47% are?  
Even though this is an arbitrary statistic that was used in what looked like off-the-cuff remarks.  

The military would count.  
Seniors would count. 
Federal employees would count. 
those with disabilities, 
those with foster children. 
etc.

I just disagree with the use of these assertions, and claiming that they are definitive fact.  There is really no way to make conclusions like you guys are making.

there is no way to tell if those that fill the roles of the arbitrary 47% even vote.

What about national guard and reserve members?  

Do they count? 

You could be counting the states with the highest number of military members.  

I know that Ft. Hood in Texas is the largest military base in the continental US.

Your post is correct, however it was your party that originated this divisive accounting of the population.

It is correct in the sense that all of these do fall into the 47% that is true. But don't many of these people also live in the Blue states as well? Or are we implying that they are heavily in the red states?

And as I have said before the % breakdown in regards to the states, does not definitely prove that republicans are more likely to not pay taxes but... it is hard to argue reasonably against the trends that are seen on that map regardless of how we want to spin things. 

And yes this whole 47% thing was only raised b/c of the insanely ill advised comment by Romney.

Correct in the sense that is very difficult to define taxpayers or non-taxpayers based on who pays an actual income tax. And thus, it is hard to designate them as red or blue state members.

Your stats all along have been useful in showing that the 'so-called' Dem freeloaders are not the populous of designated blue states.

I dont want a war....I dont want anyone to die or even get hurt.

Its a hypothetical term "civil war" meaning behind closed doors, and what not.

Talk all the garbage you want.......but call me in 3 years.

3 YEARS AND LETS SEE WHERE THIS COUNTRY STANDS

I have friends that are small business owners....the day after obama was re-elected they started making a list of people to let go.

Obama-Care is going to kill small business

Tax hikes (whether we go over the fiscal cliff or not) are going to smother small business

I got my undergrad in Finance, have completed the first two sections of the CFA exam, and am in the middle of getting my MBA, so I understand the reality of the financial situation this country is going into.

Maybe Im too emotional/sour grapes or w/e the darn but I love sports and wanted to vent, I didnt realize there were so many Democrats on this site that really have no parameters for re-electing Obama.

3 years my friends....there will be a influx of abondoned shops cause independent business owners cant survive...obviously this means less jobs. More people will be wandering the streets/malls and garbage on a Tuesday then there is on a Saturday now.....

Know why?

Cause theyll be getting a check from the governemtn every week which comes from MY TAXES i pay every year. 

And these assholes wont have a job but will have the money to buy garbage still.

International trade/business will increase cause again, nobody wants to pay taxes here so theyll run their business out of the country.

Please dont talk more garbage...just call me in 3 years and try and tell me the country is in a better place

If your economic predictions are anything like your election predictions we will have robust economic growth for the next 3 years! If you'd like I will go back and post some of your greatest predictions?

Of Texas's population growth 2/3 of the growth is from Latino's. Saying that because someone is from California that they are an idiot is just plain wrong bro.

austin you look like you're flip flopping...  seems like a trait that GOPs seem to value and hold in such high esteem with their last candidate...

you talk big with such gross generalizations promoting "Civil War" in a country that already has a history of a brutal civil war...

It is as if you are completely ignorant to american history...

and it appears that you have insulted the people on this forum that have a history of actual combat and military service...  obviously another area that you have no experience or real life perspective... if not you wouldnt have posted that...

Perhaps you should try a website that allows you to change what you post so you can delete it and pretend that you never posted it...
