Obama Revealed: A Moderate Republican--The Washington Post

cap and trade and raising taxes and health care, the three things in the article, each one of them is as liberal as can be! and george bush opposed all of them, like the hero he is. look it is fun to say the parties are the same. and thy are both terrible, but here we have 3 clear issues where bush is right, literally and figuratively, and obama is a big government liberal.

if the fact that bush's oppositio nto those things makes him a crazy right winger by your estimation, then i think you need to reconsider how powerful the government should be, how much of a role they should play in your lives.

 

Label him whatever you want, he's still just a fool...... him and the overwhelming majority of politicians in washington.

 

Pretty sure those were considered liberal policies in the 90's, however I was thinking more about who I could stick my peen in than I was about politics in the 90’s. So you may be right

 

while i dont think obama is a moderate pub, i thought this move was interesting, especially since it is one that looks like it will have broad bi-partisan support.

Sounds like Meuller caught Barry in the sack with Valerie.

 

Obama is not fiscally conservative peorid.

 

RW, since you are fairly new here I will let you know how it works.

See it doesn't matter what "HE" is, it matters what he is compared to the last guy. Because dubya did it, that makes it all well and good.

 

"w" spent too much money. He had control of congress and could have shrunk government by transfering power back to the states. I admire bush's patriotism and his leadership in keeping America from suffering another attack. I think he passed up an oppertunity to get our debt under control. Clinton left with a surplus and it was a prime oppertunity to attack the national debt. I do not want another republican like "w". Bush's failure allowed the dems to take congress and eventually caused this trainwreck of an administration to take over. Obama and the progressive disaster is a direct response to bush's failure. I do not think he was nearly as bad a president as people say he was. I would vote for him over Obama today. He was a sincere man and loved this country. What I think we need is a person that will bring this country's way of thinking back to before the wilson/ fdr progressive era grew the power of the federal government. Let states handle healthcare, education and housing issues the way they see fit. We need no HUD, doe, ag dept and many others. Let the states handle it's problems without federal level politicans being involved. Taxes are the ultimate problem with corruption in America. A simple tax system is needed. Something like less than 50k you pay 10% ,50 to 100k pay 15%, 100to500k pays 20% ,500k to 2million30% and above 2million 40%. No deductions. No credits. No bullshyt. No long form or itemized deductions. Straight up easy tax system. No refunds. Business pays 35% with no deductions at all either. Until you get taxes out of politics we will not get anywhere and will go bankrupt. We need a leader. We have no leader only politicans that want to buy votes with tax money.
