Republicans are finished

You wouldn't know sarcasm if it came up and kicked you in the ass, yet I know you know what an ass-kicking is firsthand.

Yeah, from handing a few out to idiots like you. And you're the one who is sarcasm (and mentally)-challenged. Now go check the fries, loser....you're burning them.

So another $5 Trillion of debt is the answer. You seem to be ok with the government micromanaging your life as long as it's not a so called right, wing religious nutcase doing it.

It was the answer for all the people that voted for Bush, wasn't it?

Obama is not solely to blame for an additional 6 trillion in national debt. He governed for much of the first nine months of his administration under the last budget of the Bush administration.

Bush's original budget proposal predicted a $407 billion deficit for 2009, but the final figure was $1.4 trillion, according to White House figures.

For the 2011 fiscal year, the second full budget of Obama's term, the federal government spent about $3.6 trillion, according to the White House budget office. That's about $600 million more than in 2008, the last full year under the Bush administration.

But the budget gap has another element....tax revenues have dropped during the 2007-2009 recession and remain lower than before. In the 2007 budget year, which ended shortly before the recession began, the federal government brought in nearly $2.6 trillion; that number fell to $2.1 trillion in 2009 and is projected to total $2.4 trillion by the time this budget year ends in September.

So while budget shortfalls have added $6 trillion to the national debt since January 2009, some of that spending was already in the pipeline, and some of it is the result of the economic slump that has cut into tax receipts.

So yes, I am fine with this situation because McCain could not have done any better, and most likely (as an idiot) would have done much worse.


And no, I am no ok with the government micro-managing my life. I would hope you are not ok with it either.

And you are correct in one thing. NO, I do not want live in a Christian Fascist State. The government has no business basing itself on a religion. Iran is doing that, and it is not a pretty picture.

If you want to live in a fascist state with a religion-based government, then move to Iran.

One religion is as good as the next when it comes to mixing it with a totalitarian regime.

[Hardrock69]

That implies that Obama is in control of the world.

He really isn't.

He is not even in control of the US.

[Hardrock69]

You're mistaken....you're not an Internet tough guy, you're a pussy.

I never claimed to be. But I can tell you to shut the fuck up whenever I please. Especially when you continue on with your mindless, 2nd-grade rambling about politics and religion, which you clearly know nothing about.

[Hardrock69]

BTW Brie.... why did the Repukes turn on Michael Steele following the supposed "historic" victory in the 2010 congressional races?

Ha...and you expect him to be able to answer this? (I know it is rhetorical, but still....he is incapable of even figuring out a valid answer.)

[Hardrock69]

As far as Obama goes, people bitch about him just like they bitched about Bush Jr. Mostly frustration that the bankers haven't been brought to justice and there is a double standard in Washington and it's bleeding the rest of us dry.

I do agree with the fact the bankers have not been brought to justice. At least Chimpy went after corrupt bankers quite seriously. But nobody was bitching about an idiot white guy being president.

If everyone simply preached what they practiced everyone would vote conservative....bc its simple and easy to say to others "work hard and responsible for yourself" but liberals don't believ what they teach their children. /liberals believe in the American dream for themselves but don't for people they deem as unequal to themselves...who are the racists again?

And which fucked up Texas Board of "Education" approved textbook did you get that crock of horseshit from?

[Redballjets88]

What that hardwork leads to a good life? That's common sense. Do you teach your children not to care and that if al else fails get some food stamps? Just sayin when your party brainwashes Americans into believing that our system is rigged it leads to apathy. Or would you be proud of your kids if they lived on the dole?

[FORD]

My party hasn't brainwashed anybody. This country might actually be better off if they had though.

Will you support the formation of a new party that will commit to:

Economic Justice:

• Implement major domestic green jobs and infrastructure programs
• Re-establish and make viable workers’ right to organize
• Create a fair, democratic, and transparent financial sector that serves the needs of start-ups, small business and consumers
• End incentives for U.S. companies to send jobs overseas
• Enact a financial transaction tax that will curb reckless speculation and provide revenue for job creation, job training and education
• End the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy
• Compassionate and rational immigration reform
• End to subsidies for oil and gas companies
• Free education through four years of college or equivalent as a right
• Protect public investments by opposing and reversing the privatization of public assets

Environmental Justice:

• Enforce employee and environmental safeguards in trade agreements
• Ban the Canada-to-Mexico tar sands pipeline and mountain top removal
• Enhance air and water quality protections by strengthening the EPA
• Take aggressive action and leadership on the climate crisis and the environment

Social and Civic Justice:

• Affordable universal health care through Improved Medicare for All
• An end to the wars; reduce the military budget and redirect money to domestic economy
• Marriage equality
• End race and gender discrimination
• Treat substance abuse within a public health framework rather than as a criminal matter
• Repeal the PATRIOT Act
• Abolish corporate personhood and implement campaign finance reform to end the corrupting influence of money in politics
• Prosecute the illegal conduct that led to the economic melt-down

That's what my party supports.

[ELVIS]

[Hardrock69]

Though I agree with everything on the list.
