    It's amazing how hypocritical the left is. Obama hasn't been disrepected even 10% of what you did to Bush yet poor little Obama and the Democrats get their feelings hurt when someone even slightly questions what you plan to do with OUR money. How dare us even think of questioning the Chosen One.

    What nerve we have to have doubts about the Greatest President in the history of America. :dis:

    Obama is the most rude and arrogant president we've ever had. He can pop off with his cute little remarks and CONSTANTLY blame everyone instead taking responsibility but that's all acceptable tp you. It's only those opposed to his ideology that are disrepectful...correct?

    What a hypocrite you and others are!

    Blah, blah, blah! I knew you couldn't back up any of your claims. Just a constant stream of hate.

    I never read a plan that had 4 trillion in cuts. I thought it was 4 trillion total.

    Regardless, I shorted the market on Thursday as a bit of an insurance policy so a big down day Monday would make me happy.

    You didn't ask a question, you delivered a four-paragraph ranting insulting diatribe, as usual. I don't waste time on this crap.

    Okay...let me rephrase it as a question. :dis:

    Why didn't Obama and the Democrats fail to pass a budget when they had TOTAL control?

    I know they had NO plans to cut spending or taxes and were too afraid to let people know their plans before the election. It didn't work as Pelosi and crew were run from the House and they lost their large advantage in the Senate.

    Why do liberals ALWAYS believe they deserve to take earnings from people? I want my money going to national security, infrastructure, and to help those who can't help themselves...NOT liberal arts BS, affirmative action programs, HUD, ACORN, ACLU, make believe manmade global warming crap, etc.

    Why can't you understand it's MY money? It's NOT your right to spend it!

    Politics. They postponed it until after the elections. So, now the Republicans are trying to find a way to make them pay for it. Politics.

    What the hell are you talking about? :huh:

    Eliminate all of that and you have eliminated 1% of spending. Get down off your ideological high horse, take off the blinders and get real about the budget. You can't get something for nothing. The thing that we all demand from a government must be paid for with taxes. Our forefathers knew this. It has always been this way. Now the GOP thinks that taxes are evil and we can just pledge never to use the foul stuff. The Republican base gets dumber and dumber. I can see the endgame approaching.

    It's MY money too, don't be a simpleton. Where do you get the notion that what YOU want is what must be implemented?

    I"M not spending anything. If you don't understand how democratic governments work, then there is little point continuing. You are angry and you don't even understand the situation. :insane:

    The Republicans have been foolish. They won a slight majority in one house of Congress and now seem to think that they have a mandate to enact everything that they have dreamed of for 40 years. The Senate and the President were elected too, but that doesn't seem to matter. The Republicans have negotiated two deals that were favorable to the GOP and then backed out due to Tea Party pressure. They say NO to everything since Obama was elected and the people are noticing.

    The teabaggers won't allow the GOP to do the business of government, which is reaching compromises to move the nation forward. With them its all about destroying the other party, at which time they imagine total victory will be theirs forever. Meanwhile our real enemies overseas enjoy our political self-destruction.

    Boehner and the traditional Republicans will soon have to cast off the Tea Party ideologues lest they allow them to slowly destroy the Grand Old Party.

    The GOP isn't going anywhere. People don't want either party to have too much control. Even recent history shows how bad it can get when one party is in charge. There has never been a worse govenment than Pelosi, Reid, and Obama and hopefully there never will be.

    If your annointed one will back off his increased revenue (discretionary slush fund) cravings...we'll get this done today.

    Again, being a left leaning democrat yourself, you don't have any clue about what drives conservatives and the republican party.

    The Tea Party movement has saved the Republican party. It lost it's way with Bush #1 and has been losing real Republicans in favor of jesus freaks. The Tea Party movement is reframing what is means to be a Republican and bring limited government independents back into the fold.

    The Left along with the media continually promote the idea that if legislation isn't being passed in Congress or if there is a legislative impasse, that government is not working. Since you are left of center, it doesn't even occur to you that a government not passing new laws, is good government in many instances. Congress exists as much to stop legislation as it does to pass it.

    The country was setup so that change happens slowly. So that big government lovers like yourself can't get into power and cause to much damage and change although it happened with Obamacare.

    But now you're seeing the blowback of obamacare and his other euro-style policies with one of the largest party swings in US history in the last election. People who were hoodwinked by Obama's bull***** in the presidential election spoke loud and clear in the next election and will continue to do so.

    The independents and lberals aren't 1/10 as energized as republicans and Liberty minded voters who will show up in droves to vote IF Republicans stay strong and stop the growth of government. If they don't, they're asses will be gone too.

    People who believe in limited government are taking our country back. We are the silent majority who have finally woken and started to roar.
