On health care or Afghanistan or any other issues, look at what the Obama administration has done on a particular issue and ask yourself, "Would I be equally in favor of this if John McCain had done it?"

If the answer is "no," then you have to honestly give the Obama administration poor marks on that issue.

Otherwise, you're placing party over principle.

Uh Oh!!!!

2. One problem: John McCain wouldn't have done anything on the
   
health problem. His solution to all foreign problems is bombs, bombs and more bombs. It's not a matter of party over principle..the Republican's only principle is to break the bank and therefore break the government.

I can't believe this idiot posted this! Just who ran up 3 trillion in 2 years again, DUmbass?

5. That's not the point
   
If John McCain had passed HCR exactly as the Obama administration did, everyone would have been whining about how it is basically Mitt Romney's plan on steroids. Which it is.

Lydia's right, they just don't get their Hypocrisy! Doubt they ever will!

9. Your problem with that is
   
that McCain would have done nothing to address health care costs, nothing to rein in the big banks, and nothing to stimulate the economy.

So if John McCain had come along and done those exact things, I'd still be in support of them.

12. I can easily see John McCain putting on a SHOW of
   
reforming health care or reining in the big banks without addressing the real problems, namely, private insurance in the case of health care or usury and shady financial products in the case of the banks.

All three of the things that you mention would have been considered moderate Republican initiatives thirty years ago.

Private insurance companies can still price gouge and make up lame excuses not to pay providers. Financial institutions can still charge exorbitant interest rates and the banksters were allowed to keep their bonuses--on taxpayer money.

Oh yeah! Your messiah has done just a bang up job with the economy and unconstitutional healthcare!

Teh Stooooopid is strong in this thread!!

Somebody better call in a lavender alert for the missing verb in that sentence.

The only question that should matter to any American in 2012 is "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?

Jukin's Obama Reign of Destruction of the USA Rules:

Rule 1:

If an action will cause great harm to the USA, Obama will do it.

Rule 2:

If an action will further the islamic cause then Obama will do it.

Rule 3:

If an action will further totalitarian statism then Obama will do it.


EXAMPLE:

The situation in Egypt hits both Rules, 1 and 2, out of the park.

Rule 3 (Mubarak) splits but Rule 2 (islamic theocracy) overrides.

Apply those three rules to any given situation and you will be 98% correct in your prediction as to what Obama Will Do.
