Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience, Science without humanity; Knowledge without character, Politics without principle, Commerce without morality, worship without sacrifice.

That is very good. Something that everyone should take to heart.

Why didn't someone take Obama to court in 2008, prove he was not eligible under the constitution to be president? HUH

Why didn't the Republican party offer candidates in 2008 and 2012 that the majority of the voters preferred to Obama. HUH

And just for the record I am a hardcore middle of the ROADER.

Can't argue Obama was voted in fairly, he beat McCain soundly so it wasn't just the huge increase in minority voters that put hm over the top. Unfortunately, since he's taken office I think he's done more to run this country into the ground than any president before him, and with so many voting based on entitlements now I think the Democratic Party has the office locked up until there is a MAJOR financial catastrophe. Don't know for sure yet, but I think the Affordable Healt Care Act may just be that catastrophe...
I work for a multi billion dollar company and the AHCA has already caused changes that are not beneficial to our emplyeses... Nothing major, but not beneficial. One example is we used to offer an optional annual well check that checked 5 items, like cholesterol, BMI, blood pressure, etc. if you passed 3 of them, you got a 10% discount on your premium. The AHCA has made it illegal to offer a discount that not everyone can attain... so it's gone. Can't imagine what kind of changes smaller companies are facing...

A democrat lawyer from Pennsylvania did just that. All the way to the US supreme court IIRC. He was denied, told he lacked standing.
If you haven't caught on by now the pubs and dems are two heads of the same snake.

President Obama was born in Hawaii, it is a state in the US...you may want to look that up. There are wackos out there called "birthers" that deny it but they have no proof. Just because you believe something from hearing it on your "news" sources or from your friends, that doesn't make it true. Although you wish it to be, that isn't the way life is.

In '08 when Mr. Obama won overwhelmingly, you can thank the poor choice of John McCain and Sarah Palin. McCain wasn't all that well liked and Palin was off her rocker. I think many Republicans stayed home as in '12. Mitt Romney and that crew of GOPers they were running were hilarious! The Republicans didn't even like Romney but wanted to get someone other than the tea party in. I think in '16 the Republicans will run Jeb Bush, I can't think of anyone else who will get the backing. Jeb has money behind him but doubt he'll choose a TP candidate to be VP. Even though you say you're a middle of the roader, we both know that's untrue. Your party may have a chance in '16. Until then Mr. Obama is your president. :)

The majority of voters in this country are neither Repubs or Dems. There's not a more dedicated non ideology person in this country than me. I voted for Obama both times. I am a true fiscal conservative ie all but the working poor should pay taxes including ALL the business's doing business in this country. With the tax rates set to pay all costs of government and pay down the debt. I am a social liberal wanting all forms of religion kept out of government.

I am from Southeast Louisiana. Not wanting to pick a fight but you called it on yourself. If you don't understand what the separation of church and state means, let me to explain. Keep politics out of religion. The government has no business telling the people now, when and where to worship. Check your First Amendment Rights.

It also means keep religion out of politics. Religion grants no one the right to break any law. All I called on my self is I am reality based on all things. Ideology is a nose ring self installed by fools. And I am no fool.
