GOP Debate Threads

[b_line]

You'd rather have our country bankrupted by a genius like Obama? Have you taken a look at the debt he's racked up? It's mind boggling!

The fact that I don't like Ben Carson and Obama spending are not at all related. I don't have to pick one or the other.

For the sake of fun though, let's talk about how Reagan spent more than all of the previous presidents in this country, combined, and somehow is viewed as "conservative" or how about Clinton being viewed as hyper liberal, yet he actually had a balanced budget for a bit while he was president, which has not happened under any of the Republicans beginning with Reagan.

I was just making a joke with the genius thing because the way you worded your post it sounded like you wanted to be bankrupted by a smart president.

Computer technology would take the world by storm in the nineties, the cold war was over, and America's largest generation was in their prime. That's why the nineties were good times.

In fact if Clinton had his way even with all the new money coming in the budget would not have been balanced. He wanted way more spending than congress would give him. His budgets were routinely rejected by a republican congress that knew they had just lost the Whitehouse because daddy Bush pledged not to raise taxes and then did. This opened the door for Ross Perot to run off with 19% of the vote running on a campaign to balance the budget.

It's much more accurate to say that the booming economy balanced the budget, republicans kinda helped(really though the budget continued to grow), and Clinton was there when it all happened.

This is all true, but Clinton didn't mess it up either.

I always see and hear things that say that obama has done a good job on the countries debt

Rather a smart one than a dumb one

If trustworthiness is your ultimate test for President, or any politician for that matter, you're kidding yourself.

It is not the ultimate test. There is no "ultimate test". But sometimes for one candidate you just cannot support them due to a specific issue.

For Huckabee it is because I think he is a religious bigot who would embrace a theocracy if he could. No thank you.

For Clinton it's because I find her extremely untrustworthy.

For Trump it is because he a megalomaniac and everything is about him. He'd use the office to get himself numerous shady deals.

There are plenty of people who are intelligent and disagree. I just think Ben Carson is a person who I don't agree with, in addition to being unintelligent.

Simple math is hard for him, and I don't want him bankrupting our country.

In the end, though, it is a moot point as he has 0 chance of winning a general election.

newsflash your country is already bankrupted.
more debt racked up in the last 7 years then EVER. but dont worry as obama said bush did it

The current national debt is over $18 trillion dollars. You do the math. The media has a very liberal bias so this massive addition of debt has essentially been a non-story. When the same thing happens under a Republican president (for instance, Bush) the opposite is the case.

If the destination is the same the perceived intelligence of the driver doesn't matter. I would think you'd actually prefer the person who is not going to bankrupt the country, no matter how intelligent that person supposedly is.

But Bush DID do it. Or at least he was president when the **** hit the fan. It's amazing the denial Republicans have been in since that happened.

If I'm driving a car, and I wreck it. Then I hand you the keys. Is it your fault the car is in the shape it's in?

I've never seen something more delusionally retarded in my life. Ya, Obama didn't fix it. He might have made it worse. But that doesn't mean he caused the initial damage.

And before you reply. Look up cause and effect definition. The cause doesn't come after the effect. It comes before.

When did the economy start crashing? 2007/2008. When did bush leave office? Exactly.
