    Hook line and sinker. I cannot believe that a person of your obvious intelligence believes the crap that Obama puts out there.

    red, its useless. either they know this and they are denying it, or they are stupid. pointless to continually argue it either way. "dont blame bush!"

    I pay attention to facts, Hombre. Not right-wing propaganda. After all the BS you swallowed from the last administration, one would think you'd be more cautious about what Republicans say versus what they do.

    I believe no crap that doesn't have something real backing it up. You won't debate the issues, you rarely support your arguments with any evidence, and you get outraged that anyone could possibly believe something that you do not. It's all about Obama to you. Just Obama. Post after post. I actually care about a broader range of issues than just that one.

    I cannot believe that a person of your obvious intelligence will actually be a Sarah Palin supporter in 2012.

    rationally i agree that it would be a landslide, but the tea baggers dont follow reason. i would be so scared that that it wouldnt be a landslide. and then i would be so embarrassed for my country---worse than laying low about rwanda, worse than finding no wmd, worse than abu gharib.

    You are special.

    By 2012, Christine O'Donnell could beat Barack.

    Funding was never identified for health care. They played the shell game with medicare funds and doctors payments. It was all smoke. And the purpose of this bill was never about providing health care for people, it was about getting control so that in the years ahead they could dictate health care like they think it should be. I'm not saying their intentionly malicious, they really believe they know better than I do whats best for me. If you want to increase the health of the lower economic group build clinics where they live and staff then with doctors working off their student loans. It's more direct than handing out plastic cards. And easier for less sophisticated people to use.

    Bush funded neither his wars nor his own Trillion-dollar Health Plan nor the TARP bailout. Absolutly 100% agree with you that this is wrong. However, let me point out that there only marginal difference between the war spending and any other stimulas program. It was the feds borrowing money and injecting it into the economy all across the US in the form of war supplies and jobs. If government spending props up an economy why didn't these years and years of spending at least keep us from the abyss we almost fell into in 2008.

    and the stimulus worked. HUH - is that why the party in power just got slaughtered?

    Every industrial country on the planet did the same thing for the same reasons-- And hows that been working out lately.

    Full disclosure - Here's how I voted. There was a lot of elections on the ballot here Tuesday. I pulled the lever for the "Libraterian Ticket" and then went back and changed the vote for a few races that I actuly cared about. I wish a pox on both of the major political parties. It has been a totally team effort of them working together to screw this country up this bad. I'm encourages when I look at the results of the last three elections - people are starting to figure it out.

    President Bush presided over a $2.5 trillion increase in the public debt through 2008. Setting aside 2009 (for which Presidents Bush and Obama share responsibility for an additional $2.6 trillion in public debt), President Obama’s budget would add $4.9 trillion in public debt from the beginning of 2010 through 2016.

    4.9 > 2.5 ;)




    :hihi:
