I've seen plenty of baldly unapologetic trolls with earlier sign-up dates than mine get the Zot around here... quite a few of them within the last few months, in fact.
Make an actual point, if possible.

The first reason is easy: Barack Obama. It is shocking to think that a Marxist could ever be president of the United States. But it happened. People always ask, “How could those people have sat back while ________________ came to power. That could never happen here.” Well, it did happen here. As a nation, we sat back and let Barack Obama win in 2008, and look at what we got. Granted, John McCain was not much of an alternative.
Some people might argue that the reason I don’t like Barack Obama is because he’s black. There’s no truth it. There are a number of black people I would love to see sitting in the White House, not because the’yre black, but because their worldview is right.
In fact, it’s the white half of Obama that I don’t like. How could his mother, who is white, associate with so many self-avowed Marxists? Didn’t she know how socialist, Marxist, and fascist policies have destroyed nations? Didn’t she realize that it was socialism and Marxism that has kept much of Africa in poverty? Let’s not forget Cuba, North Korea, East Germany and East Berlin, and the former Soviet Union. The facts are there for anyone to see.
Surely she had some idea of how the supposed Great Society programs that became law under Lyndon Johnson have wrecked the black family, turned the poor into a dependent voting-block that is beholden to a single political party with the result that the Democrat Party takes blacks for granted and the Republican Party ignores blacks because it has almost no chance of getting their vote.
Blacks have been duped by blacks. You don’t have to be in chains to be a slave, and there are more blacks in slavery today than there were in the 1850s.
If Romney wins, there will be a coattail effect, but not if disgruntled conservatives and Paulians stay home. This means that we can beef-up the conservative votes in the House and Senate. If we don’t get behind Romney, it’s almost assured that we will lose congressional seats.
Some will say that Romney’s just like Obama. That’s nonsense. Is Romney as conservative as I would like to see in a candidate? No. But he’s more conservative now than when he was governor of Massachusetts. The primary forced him to the right. Will he remain as conservative as his recent rhetoric seems to indicate? I don’t know. That’s why we need a strong Congress to put a brake on any broken-promise policies.
There are lots of people who believe Ron Paul’s going to get the nomination at the convention. It’s not going to happen. If it were to happen, he would lose bigger in November than Barry Goldwater lost to Johnson in 1964. Paul gave it a good shot. Did he get revolution started? That remains to be seen. But he didn’t win. Get over it for this election.
Romney’s been going on the attack. His comments on Obama’s “You didn’t build that” speech was fiery and passionate. This conversation with Brian Williams encouraged me that Romney’s not afraid to take on the media and doesn’t need a teleprompter. An exchange that Romney had with Brian Williams of NBC News was priceless. Williams, apparently reading from a script, asked Romney if it was true that he’s looking for an “incredibly boring white guy” to be his vice-president. Here was Romney’s reply: “You told me you were not available.” All Williams could say was, “Touche.”
These two encounters might not mean much, but they can be tipping points in an election. They give confidence to Romney, and they put the media on notice that they’re dealing with someone who’s not afraid to fight back without being nasty. Let’s be clear: The media are a fifth column. They’re going to do everything they can to get Obama re-elected. They can’t admit that they made a huge mistake in 2008.
The majority of Americans aren’t as conservative as most readers of this website. We’re still dealing with an electorate that’s on the government dole. They need Obama to win. There’s not much that’s going to change that except a national collapse. There are a lot of people who think that would be a great idea. It would be horrific. No one will come to our aid.
I don’t believe in messianic politics. I don’t believe any candidate is going to save us. Many of the problems our nation faces were created by us. We’re government drunkards. Too many of us like government programs that benefit us while we rail against programs that don’t. If you send your children to government (public) schools, you’re on the dole. You might not like hearing that, but it’s true. You’re not paying what it really costs. You’re using some of your neighbor’s money.
If we play this election right, Romney will give us a chance to right the ship of State. Liberals aren’t afraid of making small gains. We didn’t lose this nation in one election; we’re not going to get it back in one election.
No I am not okay with that. The fact that you something on TV is one thing. The fact that Romney said that his state allowed same sex marriage is not the same as saying he was in favor of it. Did he say that he was the one who passed that law for same sex marriage?
Obama is proud of the steps he has taken for Lgtb's and has said that he will not allow his administration to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act.
Obama is willing to break the law and his oath of office to defend the gay "rights".
Mitt Romney, who fought the legalization of same-sex marriage when he was governor of Massachusetts, said in April that his stand on that “tender and sensitive topic” had not changed.
There is a lot of bad information going around here and everybody needs to very their facts.
Boy has been taught to lie since he was a child, it is part of his upbringing. Even several of his own family members say that about him.
Romney is pro-life now. He has seen the light.

Oh yeah
That spotlight on the political stage can sure rewrite a boy’s script...
I’ve been here 5 years longer than you.
I’m getting no end of amusement that you are here lecturing me as if you are some kind of True Conservative.
What have you done on the streets? Where are your after action reports, keyboard patriot?
LOL. How did your roast pig (or was it lamb) go?
Rockefeller crapola expands the reach of government and Romney is pooping Rockefeller Statist bricks out the ying-yang. We are screwed either by Romney or Obama. What spending programs, in the last 70 years, is Romney going to roll back? Is the Iron Triangle going to be slayed? That is what needs to be done in order to progress in a free society; the prettiest political whore is still just a whore in the end, whoopee Statist doo that Romney is a more "appropriate" fiscal whore. The allegiance to lobbyist and the social views from hell seem rather unappealing to any free man.
Perhaps you missed it.

So far I have only posted opinion without insults, and yet I feel like I am on a post hosted by Piers Morgan.
Vote as you will. There is nothing I can do to stop you... or IMHO, take the keys away from a stone cold drunk. But that will not stop me from voicing what I feel is right.
Take the cab....we'll lose some money but live another day.
So you’re one of those who would vote against Jesus himself because he hung around with prostitues and government workers. Must be nice to be so self righteous and pure.
I have my doubts about Romney.
But I don't have any doubts about Obama.
He said that he has accomplished a lot in his first four years and he would like for us to give him four more so that he can finish the job.
I can't do that.
Boring....
I just stick by my principles. I'm a sinner like all the rest of us.

Yeah. But what is a good American political debate without the name-calling mud-slinging eye-gouging hair-pulling meanness?
I just gave you facts, and you spend quite a bit of time rationalizing, justifying, and changing the subject to what Obama has done. Romney SAID he was in favor of homosexual adoption. Personally.
I’m sorry, I don’t know what you mean by “the fact that you something on TV.”
Boring....
Point demonstrated. Thank you, studio audience volunteer.
Why the Feck don't you people get it?
I used to be a purist once too. Now we have the Marxist that must be removed. We will lose the country if we don't.
Thank you Teletubby watcher.
Now go away or else I will taunt you a second time.
“So you’re one of those who would vote against Jesus himself because he hung around with prostitues and government workers. Must be nice to be so self righteous and pure.”
Last time I checked Romney did more than hang out with some folks. I’m pretty sure he implemented socialized healthcare, supported gay marriage, implemented an assault weapons ban, along with trying to out left Kennedy, all while running away from Reagan.
Yeah....he sounds like someone who deserves my vote. Vomit.
