The police state has grown bigger and bigger and we don't need more eyes in the skies to control that.

The problem with drones is that they have already killed innocent people overseas without consent and reason. They have known to kill people who have NOTHING to do with being armed, or a threat to the area they are monitoring. Drones should NOT be allowed in the sky to kill or spy on us, what the hell are they there for? Its unconstitutional and its an infringement on our right of privacy. And we're going to let them spend billions of dollars of the Drone project when we can use that on education or health care?

tell me how do we benefit from that?

oh **** youre right..... quick everyone run were only a few days from skynet going global AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

on a more serious note uhh yea you talk as if the drones are mindless and nothing controls them, and tell me if a drone stops someone from blowing up thousands of innocent us citizens isnt it worth it?

sigh, Earthbullet you still don't get it.

everything I say you're quick to disregard it as a conspiracy without even looking it up. I don't blame you for feeling this way because its really the people who are being mislead and distracted from this kind of information.

i'll be my life on the line that what I said is fact. i've tried to reason with you but all your responses are bashing me.

you can't even take my word maturely and look it up?

again you trying to force your views on me is no different then me bashing you, and dont try the "im not trying to force my views onto you" crap, you wont accept anything less then me admitting that youre right. That being said I still respect your right to say what you feel like and support what you believe in, all im asking is that you afford me the same respect with my views.

Democrats= more government
Republicans = less government

If Democrats want to tax the business owners more heavily, then how do we expect the business owners to have the money to create new jobs. Are there going to be some corrupt businesses that will pocket the "saved" money. Of course. But for a large portion of business who wish to expand, they will have that much more money to do so and thus create more jobs.

Do I think that everything that Obama has done is bad? No, of course not. I honestly think that he is a well intentioned person with ideas that are not necessarily the best idea for the country. Obamacare is the biggest mistake that the government could have made. The government is now intervening in the private market by providing a product for sale in the market. This is going to cause many private insurance companies to increase prices just to stay afloat. Some might not even survive and it will be due to the government competing in the private maket. Government is not supposed to compete in the private market. Obamacare will be the gateway product leading to McUncleSams burger and fry joint. I am not one of these people who claim that Obama is turning this country into a Communist nation, but some of these ideas are leading in that direction. Free market and less government has proven effective in the past, so we should return it back to that state.

I don't give a crap about personal issues such as religion, gay marriage, or abortion (which in a sense all fall into the same category). I am a Republican in as it pertains to political and economic issues. I am aethiest, I am straight, but support gay marriage, and I only agree with abortions if they are life threatening to the mother. But none of these things matter when it comes to fixing the country. Fix our economy, then we can move on from there. To fix the economy we need to create jobs. To fix the economy, we need to get the government out of it. There are obviously some aspects where the government needs to be involved, but those are only regulatory matters. Not directly being involved in it.

I can't believe I am having this rant on Bandai, but it is what it is. I am voting for Romney because I want the economy fixed. I don't care how much money he makes. Him being a millionaire/billionaire has little to nothing to do with his ability to run a country. If you are going to vote or not vote for somebody based on how much money they make, then I pray to god that you are unable to vote because you would be casting your vote for the wrong reason.

lol really

How do people still fall for the big government/less government bull****?

Both parties are going to spend your money and increase the size of government. Not much of the spending is going to be in the right areas.

Romney's economic plan of cutting taxes for rich people isn't going to do anything to help the economy. All the rich people are going to do is just sock it away in an offshore bank account or collect capital gains income on it (so the government gets even less money). Tax cuts should be from the bottom up, not from the top down. What's Scrooge McDuck gonna do with an extra dollar? Add it to his pool of money? Cutting taxes on the rich does nothing without a corresponding incentive or mandate to keep the money circulating (as a pure example, raising the minimum wage). And the deficit? Yeah, that's not being helped by less tax revenue.

Both parties are going to run the country into the ground regardless, due to the corrupting nature of money in politics. I'd rather my tax money be going towards an attempt at universal healthcare (not a very good one, mind you) rather than bombers and yachts.
