Imagine that, a State of the Union where the PotUS addressed the nation, and managed to talk about the middle class without disdain, but rather with compassion and an understanding that we ARE the backbone of the U.S. Without the middle class, we are just another 3rd World Country. F*#k you Republibots that think the rich contribute anything other than stockpiling of old world wealth. Without the $500K and below, there is no United States of America. Just remember that when the revolution comes if the Drones of the Right manage to get elected.

Hell Yeah 4 more years. We will need the +8 years of buffer before the Republibots manage to undo the good that is being done.

Is it wrong of me to hope that the American public is smart enough to see through the self centered / singular vision of making the rich more wealthy of the Republican party? Is it just a pipe dream or will the bait and switch of economics versus religion really pull the ultimate con?

Anyone who votes Republican ironically enough really needs to do some soul searching. For Jesus said,

"Is 41:17. The afflicted and needy are seeking water, but there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them Myself, as the God of Israel I will not forsake them."

Obama might win but there is even money he might not.

Would that be an even split?

Captain, the ship of state, she seems to be listing to the left.

Donald: I feel pretty strongly when I say make more annual income than you. I am the Republican worst nightmare: Someone who makes enough $$ to vote Republican for my own interest but instead does what I KNOW IS RIGHT!

I'll repeat it again: If not the rich, then who else? Who has the ability to actually make this country better rather than pad our bank accounts? I bought a house that cost closer to $1 Million than $500K. I make over 200K and my wife makes close to $100K annually and that doesn't account for investments. You want to talk about Republican. It should be me... But it never has nor will it ever will be. Hell, I pay a MUCH higher % of taxes than Mitt or Grinch and I don't complain knowing that currently under the Democratic party it is actually going towards the good of this country.

I HAVE LIVED THE AMERICAN DREAM. I grew up poor in rural Eastern Washington state. I hunted out of season to provide food for our family to eat as a child of 14. You want to talk about conflicted? I put myself through college. I was the 1st college grad in my family. I got ZERO help or even ZERO SUPPORT from my family, financially or emotionally. My parents abandoned me at 16 and moved TO ANOTHER STATE. I graduated Valedictorian of my Highshcool class. I worked my ass off out of college starting at the promising salary of $32K/year with close to $20K in college loans living in the Bay Area of all places, lol.

You know what? I paid the loans off with triple payments. I paid my wife's way through college. I invested wisely and paid cash for everything and savied everything I had. I am where I am despite a system that is designed to trap and enslave me at every corner.

I see through the bullshit lies. I made it not from the wealth of my family. I made it on my own merit and sweat, and I made it without the help of the rich who would've took my $$ and hope at any opportunity they could have. Is it wrong of me to want to see others actually make it instead of being enslaved in debt as 90%+ of Americans?

What side are you on?

And P.S: I am active in local climbing Access issues, I develop routes (300 and counting) and contribute everywhere I can to the climbing community. Who the f*#k are you other than another Rupublibot? I am a climber, and I feel I have proven my right to state what I feel is best for this country.

I repeat: Who the fuk are you and LEB? What are you to the general public and more importantly to this board, who the f*#k are you in the context of the climbing community?
