    While it is amusing, I'd expect that since it's a touchscreen device there's some sort of problem with the screen digitizer. I'd hope it's not software related. I have the same problem on my smartphone and tablet sometimes. A piece of cat hair or a drop of water gets on the screen and it's registering keypresses all over the place.

    At first I thought the same: simple calibration issue. But that would have affected all buttons.

    You do relize that romney is the anti christ.Right.. for any presendent its gonna take more than four years to fix bush's errors. Why would we want another Republican. Especially one who hasnt grown up with real life experiences. Nothing good ever comes from someone who was given everything in life.
    Go Obama help me stimulate the econmy of R.C....

    I really disagree with you as do many people in this area. Become a business owner and you will understand that Osama is helping destroy us. In my opinion.

    Way to go Caleb.  I'll second that!  I wasn't going to say anything because I figured chaseloc must be off his meds or something. :)  If there is anyone who "hasnt grown up with real life experiences" it's the Kenyan.  If you can keep an open mind, you need to go and see this movie:  http://2016themovie.com/  If you don't want to do that, you can just wait around and be surprised when the guy takes away all your freedom and liberty in the process of destroying the country.

    ...Tiger

    BTW... That movie is NOT at all anti Obama.  It is absolutely factual.  It just tells his story and let's you draw your own conclusion about where he'll take you.  It's worth seeing.

    Looking forward to seeing that movie. I do have an open mind. And i took my meds..  :eek: even though i dont fully agree with obama he is still a better choice.  Mitt can not be trusted. He shows it himself. Not my judgement. Just his words hurt himself without anyone's help.  He has some great points. But his attitude seems a little communist for me. But its not just the president. We as americans choose to live the ways we do. And that wont stop. If obamacare were to wipeout businesses. Do u not think it would change. Maybe youll have a better tax credit. Maybe your employees would be better workers maybe oregon can have teeth again.. lol...

    The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president.

    Nothing you said there Chase made any sense, Obama is for Communism and not for self promotion and gain.  Mitt was for free enterprise which mind you if you did your homework you would find built this country.  Obama-care will not wipe out business but it will cost most of us, even small shops like mine literally thousands a month to provide sub-par healthcare to my employees (which I already provide but pay much less for)  Third as for a better tax credit, you need to start reading, Obama wants to tax the middle class, guess were I end up?  Middle class.  If you GROSS (NOT TAKE HOME) over 200k per year you are in his new tax to the moon bracket.  My business's up here need to make that per year just to break even or come close to it.  I do not agree with taxing the so called "rich" and giving to the useless masses that every five years have another child so that they can stay on welfare and live better than I do most of the time.  Not saying Mitt was the best choice, but he was a better choice.

    You get another +1 for that one Caleb.  Me... I've almost doubled my smite count for having posted here.  I'm catching up with you, but that's okay! :)  The problem is that we're in the "real world" and so we see the government sucking the life out of everything that made this country great.  Yesterday, on one of the network sites, they posted a breakdown of who voted for who.  You just have to look at that list and it's pretty obvious that those who create prosperity voted one way and those that generally consume prosperity voted the other way.  There are most certainly exceptions, but by in large, that's the pattern.  This is why it's so easy for politicians to buy votes by creating new entitlements. 

    What we're watching now is our fall from greatness.  When people first came to this country, all they really wanted was liberty, freedom, and the opportunity to work hard for a better life.  They wanted to live in a place where they could harvest the fruits of their labor, without an oppressive government trying to take everything from them.  They had no expectation of entitlements and no expectation that someone should take care of them from cradle to grave.  As a result, they were able to build a country that was the envy of the world.  In contrast, a lot of people show up now, see the prosperity, and somehow think some of it belongs to them just because they are here.  Politicians see this as their golden opportunity.  For now, they still need the vote of the people to rape and pillage the producers so they offer to do the dirty work in exchange for a vote.  The parasites see this as an easy way to get a piece of the pie so they give them that vote.  All this looks like it's working pretty good for a while, because for the most part the real producers are generous and willing to share.  But, all this naturally escalates until the "takers" start to outnumber the "givers" and the incentive to produce goes away.  At that point, the givers either have to join the takers (not likely because of their character and ambition) or pack their bags (move offshore and outsource).  Now what the parasites don't realize, wondering in the fog of greed, is that once the Golden Goose is dead, the politicians will have all the power and little left to steal.  They really won't need your vote!  Like it or not, you have created a dictatorship.  You get to choose between effectively becoming their slave or being thrown under the bus completely.  Read your history books!  This is not a "new" scenario.  It's happened over and over and over so why are we going down this road?

    So what's any of this got to do with Mitt and the Kenyon?  I'm not crazy about either of these guys, but I look at Mitt and see some of my own values and I see a guy that achieved his success by working his butt off within the system.  Obama on the other hand is more of a Professional Parasite, shares none of my values, hates my God, and wants to destroy the basic fabric of this country.  He's more than happy to loot the producers, kill your baby, endorse perversion, throw you peanuts, or whatever else it takes to achieve his goal.  Woe be you when he no longer needs your help!

    I've been in business for almost fifty years and I am someone who is proud to have served this country.  I take any attack on us or our way of life rather personally.  I think if you look at all my other posts, you'll agree that I'm a pretty mellow guy.  This Obama thing was quick to make my blood boil, because he is truly evil.  If you don't believe he's evil, you just need to look past the smoke and mirrors.  This is a guy who works almost entirely outside the system and has gone on record many times as saying that our Constitution is "outdated" and that he wants to "fundamentally change" our form of government.  Sorry - That just doesn't work for me.

    ...Tiger

    Jesus Christ enough already.  I couldn't stand any of the people who ran.  You folks think you had a choice, maybe you thought wrong.  Deal with it.

    I read today that Texas, among others, wants to secede from the union because the election didn't go their way.  This is the kind of pathetic nonsense that got us where we are today.  Quit crying and do something or shut up.

    EDIT:
    You guys are arguing about losing the election like it makes a difference which meat puppet is in office.  Firstly, you sound like a bunch of sore losers, and nobody likes a sore loser.  Secondly, we all lost, not just you guys crying over semantics.

    You should be one to talk Mr John, think about a previous post you put here before you go off telling us what you really think of our opinions and values, you have a right to your opinion as does anyone else here.  As a the owner/moderator of this forum you should show stature and presence not mockery and chastising.  I am not a republican nor a democrat, I would be called an independent, but I did vote for what I believe was the lesser of TWO evils.  This is a public forum and this would be considered a public debate between three people or whomever else would like to join.  Tiger and I were merely pointing out the flaws in Chase's rendition of why he chose Obama over Mitt.

    OK, I agree with you on on this.  I don't know what got into me.  I think I am frustrated as much as you about our political system.  I also do not consider myself neither a democrat nor republican.  In fact I do not believe anyone in our country could tell you what they mean, including the parties themselves.  I just could not stand to see another clown in office from the same party who gave us G.W. retard.

    Your all right. I hardly care about politics because how heated people get. I get upset when everyone thinks "America is dead". I wish i had more knowledge to back up who i thought was best. Whats done is done. Lets see where were all at in 12 months. See how many toys you've added to the collection. Or not! In my opinion in cant be as bad as my grand or even great grandparents had it. It can only be better moving forward. Right...  otherwise your probably old bitter man. Who probably still bitches about his old high school football days. If not lets drop this meaningless debate.
    So to bring it back to where we started. Other than who you prefer as president the video john posted was funny. And looks as if Romney were trying to cheat again....

    LOL, my Dad God rest his soul told me the three most terrible topics of discussion at any social-get-together are politics, religion and/or sex ... At some point or we can say the logical conclusion to any one of these discussions is the old proverbial FIST FIGHT .... Thus when my farther had a get-together he wouldn't allow such discussions! The problem here is the 'internet' as it removes the risk of good punch up to settle the discussion!

    Something Sinister said "other countries are laughing at us" ... {LMAO} Welcome to the 'Global Economy' ... Growth is always painful, ain't it !?!
