    It's not like he decided to cut back on the size of the federal government and waste and eliminated 650,000 jobs. Those jobs were cut because the economy was so bad, local and state governments had to eliminate jobs. I don't think the 650k number even included federal jobs, but I could be wrong on that.

    f that is the case then why are you not voting for him? isnt that what you want?

    so your opinion is that obama has reduced the size of government? is that what you want? it is what i want. but i stand very clearly for certain things. you dont.

    Of course not, he's still in bed with some reprehensible Republicans.

    When you can't win the argument, attack the arguer. Strike one.

    Reducing the federal workforce is not the same as reducing the size of government. It is a red herring.

    You ain't got shit, don't try to speak for me. Listen carefully. He is the most moderate candidate the republicans could have run, but insufficient to overcome association with a party that has moved to the right.

    You were telling me where I stand and doing a poor job of it.

    I'll tell you what my positions are when ever I please. You stick to what positions you have. I can tell you one thing, I don't give a shit about your interests.

    Absolutely, as are most independents. Moderate republicans are nowhere close to center.

    Try to pay better attention. I said he reduced government employees by 650,000, a response that essentially shredded your comment that Obama "doesn't even bother to pretend to reduce government". Strike 2.
