i cant believe how many people think America is invincible. its kinda scary and makes me realize why were so bad.
maybe afghan would have trouble but there are plenty of other countries that would be a-ok with invading us if we collapsed.

You keep blabbing but put up a real country or conglomeration of countries with sufficient capacity to invade the US. Seriously, this is getting tedious. What next? The uber power that is Somalia or the Isle of Man?

What would the perspective of the people of Hiroshima or Nagasaki be on that?
Don't kid yourself. If the United States was "invaded", we'd be using them on day one, to some degree.
yes,and have several shot back at us. one nuke gets fired at another country and its doomsday.
this sort of thinking is around for a good reason.

as amusing as that is let me point out that sweet is an acquired taste, my dad dislikes them because he grew up eating caveman food.
lets stop this ridiculas discussion on how America could be invaded.
it appears that you are utterly bent on the ideals that 'Liberals are stoopid, hurr.' but that is not the case, liberals are willing to change to accommodate, and conservatives want to keep it the same way (omigod Tzeentch is a democrat) each party has drawbacks.

Invading america is a ridiculous idea. Who else is unified enough, with enough technology and wealth, to successfully manage it with modern "acceptable" causulties? And somehow, I don't think my Yank brethren would happily accept their new overlords. The American Resistance?

obama has not been doing much because he was trying to quell the royal gak storm that bush created. hinestly, what was the point in invading iraq? did the 'victory' in Afghanistan feel so good he wanted to do it again?
what we should have done is have invaded Afghanistan killed a few terrorists/insurgents, called it a day and pulled out, but noooo...

But bygones is bygones and none of that has anything to do with the economy, which is generally the only thing the USA really votes on.

you can't put a nuclear weapon down some countries' throat because a few people in that country were feths. that would get every country in the world screaming into our collective ears.

Again, they say that a lot. but thats niehter here nor there. We're at where we at now, and whats important is how do we fix the problems.
I don't care if a Democrat did it. I don't care if a Republican did it. If there is a problem the president is being hired to fix the problem, not fix the blame. If he can't fix the problems then the people will bring in new management.
The problems haven't been fixed. Obama better start updating his resume.

Any of them, assuming Hillary doesn't bite and challange herself (I doubt it but one can hope).
The election is not about the Republican. Its a referendum on Obama's job performance.

Which at least was better than the last eight years of republican presidency, which happened to have caused our economic collapse which Obama is struggling to try to reverse.

The election is not about the Republican. Its a referendum on Obama's job performance.
It should be about the Republican though. This is the highest office in the country, one of extreme importance. Being "not the current guy" isn't a requirement, being fitted to the position is.
Obama hasn't turned the nation 180 degrees, I understand and agree with that sentiment. Considering the situation with Congress, I'm not sure what people really expected. When John McCain comes out and calls his own party on their bull**** against the person he himself ran against, that really says something. When you have a group of people who literally refuse to negotiate and compromise, I'm not sure how you expect anything to get accomplished or changed.
As powerful as the position of President is, there are the infamous check and balances built into the Constitution that reduce the ways he can act on his own. Granted, some presidents find creative ways to circumvent them (I'm not sending the military into Afghanistan, I'm sending the Guard who aren't technically military!) but that generally doesn't sit well with people.
Looking at the list of current presidential candidates for the Republicans makes me sad to admit I'm a registered Republican. The main issue is that the party has moved away from Financially Conservative (which drew me to the party in the first place) and has gone full on bat guano far right conservative. I can't look at a single one of the serious contenders and think "I want that person to run my government!"

its good you think that, although I didn't know Barney franks was a Republican. Its also blindingly irrelevant.

Congress is gridlocked, how many months did we spend on this debt ceiling debate? Nothing else was even considered during that time.
I didn't watch the debate, but I've seen a few clips and read some of the things that were said, Bachmann is about as crazy as they come I think.
Invasion of US? I really don't think that is going to happen anytime soon. The next time you see large roving armies and invasions, will be after WW3 and a nuclear holocaust.
Of Frazz, hopefully you aren't getting hit too hard by the drought. Maybe after this they'll stop building all over the natural aquafer and stop using millions of gallons of unrecoverable water for fracking
