The Stellar Enterprise 2012 Election IQ Test

I've seen that before, and it's quite good.

Except that (sadly) I don't think it will have any effect on PowerStroker, because he'll just blame Bush.

Remember how Obama said he was going to clean everything up though, and at least BALANCE the BUDGET?

I love how they blame Bush for his $500 billion deficits, conveniently ignoring that Obama has tripled the deficit over the worst that Bush ever did.

Yet, it's (somehow) Bush's fault. Or the Republican Congress' fault.

Obama is the first President NEVER to pass a budget during his entire term. For that alone, he should be impeached, in my opinion. Particularly because he had control of both houses of Congress during his first two years.

If Romney is elected, you can be SURE that he'll be responsible and get budgets done.

I vote for option 3, Raise revenue.

In your analogy, it would be like having the stay at home mom get a part time job.

Do you even have a stay at home mom to offer up PowerStroker?

Just figures someone like you (single, broke and in debt over your head) would offer up someone else's mom to pay for mis-management.

I say we put your Mom to work PowerStroker! And if she is working, I think she needs a 2nd job, maybe a 3rd just to ensure she kicks the bucket before collecting the full Social Security benefits she paid in. Heck PowerStroker, maybe you can live long enough to collect some of them SS funds your dad paid in and never got to collect!

It would serve you well to offer up the services of YOUR frinds and family when fixing problems caused by YOUR party, because my choice is to "Pump out the shit".

PowerStroker is once again coming to the table without even having the ante, Just like every Democrat before him. Try that shit in the real world PowerStroker and you will be exiting the building using your head to open the door.

Ante up PowerStroker or STFU!

If pump out the shit (cut spending) is your answer, how about you ante up and tell us what specifically you would cut and by how much in order to banance the budget. I don't want to hear your partisan hackery either like the idea of repealing Obamacare, because the CBO says repealing it would actually cost the taxpayers MORE money. I want real specifics grounded in unbiased fact.

It's not even a matter of cutting spending at this point PowerStroker!

Do not try and exclude Obama care because the cost of that flawed heath care law is ALREADY in the stratosphere and it has yet to be fully implemented. Also important to consider here is the fact it does absolutely NOTHING to address the cost of treating un-insured folks who will no doubt still be un-insured under this program! You idiots try and claim Obama Care will give millions of Americans insurance when really it's just a mandate to BUY it. Many of the same people will STILL be without heath care regardless of the mandate. If Obama care was all that Obama would not have waited until AFTER election season to implement it. Bottom line is that Obama Care IS going to add more money to the debt in terms of employees and more bureaucracy.

My state (Michigan) has an excellent "State Run" insurance program that ensures ALL children (under 18) have insurance regardless of their income. The federal government taking over health care is going to cost Americans a lot more than just $$ added to our debt, it's going to also hurt the quality of care we get and possibly make getting good insurance impossible for many as the insurance companies try to compete with the government programs that can and most certianly WILL run in the red.

Now as for cutting the debt... There is one CLEAR answer... VOTE ROMNEY 2012! You see the thing is I am not in a position to be able to lower the debt, but I am in a position to VOTE for someone who will! I could prattle on for 10 pages of ways to cut debt but the bottom line is Romney has a plan, along with a record for turning things around one way or the other.

Obama can not run and hide from his performance the past 4 years and as such he needs to "Hit the road" and let someone else have a turn. MAYBE... JUST MAYBE if the Obama Administration had even submitted a budget the past 4 years we might have been able to see this "economic boom" in the future, but as it stands they have not submitted ANY budgets, nor any ideas on how to lower the debt, just more hot air and empty promises.

Right now the government is just bloated with bureaucracy that is redundant or outright wasteful. The Democrats are saying we need even MORE bureaucracy and wasteful spending, Republicans are saying we need less.... It's really a no brainer PowerStroker.

Oh Gerry, I wouldn't get in to a pissing match with Pogo if I were you.

I should mention that Pogo is quoted as saying he "Once had a Mercedes haunt his driveway" in regards to having to work on one.

I should also mention that the SOLE reason we have PowerStroker, Pogo and the rest of the self proclaimed "PowerStroke Mafia" is because they all got owned on a forum called PowerStroke.org when I had to show them all how to work on an International Diesel with a Caterpillar/International injection system and a Garret turbo re-branded in the blue oval! LOL! That's right Gerry, these wanna be International mechanics fucked up so bad repairing these engines that Fords got ensnared in a costly lemon law buyback program. Yet none of these so-called "pro's" could handle working on anything outside of Fords, they lacked the skill to operate independently and as such they became quite jealous to learn that independent mechanics get paid.

1st they mocked my use of non-standard terms. Then they mocked my home-brew tools. At that point I had photos to back up my story about how all these clowns were full of shit. Finally they had to resort to petty name calling and irrational behavior, even going so far as suggesting their shop will perform FREE repairs for major work if a customer cant pay his bill! LOL! Yeah sure... Fucking idiots!

Ford pays them all to hang out at training school prior to the release of any new engine, because Fords is well aware they cant build a vehicle to save their lives... International engines in the H.D trucks along with Mazda engines in their economy cars... Want performance? Ford can re-package a Yamaha engine and slap a SHO badge on it! LOL!

Don't believe me? Take a ride in a Pinto! It can be a BLAST!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm not going to vote because, unlike you, I live in Gods country. However, if the US kinda stepped back a bit from making bigger and "better" guns.... and if they would consider staying home and let other countries....... oh - oil - how silly of me.

Tell me - what is the budget of the US military? Many sources indicate that the US military spent nearly 684 BILLION in 2010. Still more is spent because the US is involved in covert operations designed to involve their military... Trying to "friendlify" other nations.

And now you are advocating voting for a man that believes in magic underwear.... a man that believes Jebus will return to Missouri (after all, Jebus stopped off there on his way to heaven)... a man that believes that Joseph Smith translated some gold plates he "found and then lost" after placing his face in a hat full of rocks... This is the guy you want running your country and placing his finger on "the button"?

He fucking near makes Sarah Palin sound sorta "normal".

Do you still do brake jobs in parking lots?

Let's be honest, your not going to vote because you are Canadian. Let us not forget Obama's camp put the clamps on your pipeline. Oil... Yep... And Canada isn't above it.

So the rest of the world can count on Canada when Iran needs a little smack on the wrist? Sheeeaaat... If we counted on Canada for serious interventions we would soon turn into another British colony. Sorry bub, we won the war you guys are still trying to fight.

Magic underwear? Jebus in Missouri? Where the hell do you get this shit?

He fucking near makes Sarah Palin sound sorta "normal".
Huh... Sarah Palin has always been a normal "American" woman. Are you now a chauvinistic pig?

Do you still do brake jobs in parking lots?
Yes, I will do a brake job anywhere in my service area! That includes storage units, apartment parking lots, grocery store parking lots, on the side of the road... Pretty much wherever. On Site service calls start out at $200 so I love parking lot repairs. Often times people end up saving a tow or at the least I am there to tell the tow tuck driver where the vehicle is going (My Shop). Once I replaced a starter on a customers vehicle in hospital parking lot! She was a nurse. One time I diagnosed a vehicle for a cop at the Detroit Police Department while picking up one of our loaners that got impounded. LOL!
Welcome back Pogo...

So you have an issue with Romney's religion, but no issue at all with the half-black Barack "God Damn America" (Jeremiah Wright, his pastor) ) Obama and his questionable friends like Saul Alinsky, Van Jones and other radical left-wingers and convicted terrorists?

People who are anti-Jewish are considered bigots. What does that make anti-Mormons like yourself?

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Oh Gerry, I wouldn't get in to a pissing match with Pogo if I were you.

Judaism has seniority because it is over 3000 years old.

Mormonism was founded in America in the 1820's by this guy http://www.mormonwiki.org/Joseph_Smith_and_money-digging

You be the judge.

Believe me, I know all about Mormonism and I'm not a fan of it (the religion) in the least.

The Mormon people I have known in my life (colleagues, friends, neighbors, etc.) have been some of the most honest, giving and upright people I've ever met.

I have been through Salt Lake numerous times on my hobo travels through the western US. Mormons are extremely generous to those in need. If you stop by a Mormon church or mission, they will give you the shirt off their back. Literally bags and bags of groceries - way more than you can carry.

One time abuot 20 years ago I was hanging out on the edge of the railyard in Ogden, Utah, just north of Salt Lake City, around a campfire with a fellow hobo. We were eating beans out of cans we heated on the fire, before bedding down for some shut-eye so we'd be rested to catch the first west-bound trin the following morning. Some Mormons dropped by our site with about 5 Dominos pizzas, which were still warm, that they'd had donated from the local Domino's store as they closed for the night. Just didn't seem right to have free pizza without beer, so I made a quick beer run to a nearby market. I picked up about 6 or 7 40 ouncers and we had one hell of a meal that night....never did get to sleep before the train pulled in, we had to pack up our stuff real quick and get on board before it pulled. Not easy to do after a few 40s and a full belly.

Anyway, my experiences with Mormon folks has always been very positive, though as I say their religion is not for me. I wish more of America was as upright of folks as Mormons are.

I have never been a member there or even posted there. But one of my fellow mafia members is a member there, and posted a link on the site I am a member of to your antics on Powerstroke.org.

Yup, those were the antics :)
