The General US Politics Thread

Go To

Nov 2023 Mod notice:


There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines before posting here.

Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.

If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules when posting here.


In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Romney: What have you done?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

Specifics.

By economy if you mean Bain capital which thousands were fired, that doesn't count.

So Romney's saying that employers will go out of their way to hire women and give better incomes on their own? How come this haven't happened before then?

chihuahua 0: I can understand that. I feel similarly about Mitt Romney and most Fox News hosts.

Butterfinger: Because Romney is the messiah and he wasn't president then.tongue

If Romney was a CEO and he went out of his way to higher women and given them better salaries than is competitive for the market, he would be doing a disservice to his firm and should be fired by the board of directors, to protect the shareholders from his rampant idealism!
