Hi Shadow,
First, you are correct there are a number of cowardly Republicans that won't specify what they would cut (thankfully Paul Ryan is not one of them).
Second, Obama's stimulus failed by his own standard, so yes we can judge Obama's job performance in certain areas.
Third...
Hi AE,
The stimulus spending and bailouts dwarf the spending on the war.
What the hell are you talking about? What Republicans are talking about going to war with Iran or North Korea?
Hi Smoke,
Thus you have confirmed my first point about having contempt for the American people. The voters can't be seeing the diminishing returns from trillion of dollars being spent by the government, no, they must be stupid.
Hi Smoke,
Proof, because I have a quote from Davis saying that very thing.
That is funny you say that because there is a quote from a former slave in the Slave Narratives who said, "It was better to be a ****** than a poor white man." So, there were instances where slaves were...
Hi Smoke,
Except polls show that the American people want less government intervention into the economy and thus they will be voting for the Republican Party this November.
There was a reason that the Democratic Party hasn't controlled both houses of Congress and the Presidency since the...
Sunstone,
So, are you arguing that Obama and the Democrats trillion dollar spend-a-thon was a bad thing?
Posting an article on how bad Republicans are on the deficit is pretty rich considering how much Obama has spent.
Hi T-Dawg,
This has one fatal flaw; Obama didn't campaign on spending trillions of dollars to get us out of the recession (his biggest campaign promise was tax cuts for 95% of Americans). When in office he spent like crazy and the American people don't believe this has helped the economy...
Hi Smoke,
And then watch blacks suffer at the bottom rungs of society because of an imprudent decision? Gradual emancipation would have allowed the educating of slaves to function in society (this was Jefferson Davis' goal) and provided for a gradual transition from slave labor to priced...
Hi Smoke,
But what is the explanation for the potential Republican gains this November? Does the governing party's performance have anything to do with the voters decision or is it almost all chalked up to the voters stupidity and bigotry?
Hi mball,
But why is this reasoning suspect? Again, I go back to the 2006 mid-terms. I, as a right-winger, completely understood the reason to vote for the opposition party (you had a very unpopular war and many corrupt Republicans in Congress). And in 2008, I also understood the reason to...
Hi mball,
But the inference of voting for the Democratic Party to being a liberal is very high. I know this is not always the case. Your point is taken.
Actually, I made my original point with another thought in my head and that is it seems liberals live in their own universe. I have...
Hi Smoke,
Well, one could surmise that these unsavory fellows of the revolution would impart these immoral values to their children.
On another note here is a quote from a Confederate soldier:
I was a soldier in Virginia in the campaign of Lee and Jackson, and I declare I never met a...
Hi mball,
You point is noted, although the vast majority of American liberals vote for the Democratic Party so lets not kid ourselves about this giant overlap.
This is my point. Let all the politicians openly express their contempt for those Cretan Americans that don't agree with...
Hi Smoke,
Of course the contempt isn't just for conservatives like myself (which doesn't bother me in the slightest) but for anyone that breaks with the liberal orthodoxy of socialized healthcare, anti-Iraq war and global warming.
Hi Paul,
How do explain those across the political spectrum believing that Saddam had WMD? What was in it for Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Ted Kennedy to claim that Saddam had WMD?
You can deny it all you want, but Saddam had some form of a WMD program. He had materials necessary for a...
And as it turns out, liberals have fabricated another story. Now this will be news to those that follow Media Matters, but by the time that O'Reilly aired the edited tape, Sherrod was already fired.
Joan Walsh: It's Okay for Shirley Sherrod to Call Fox News and Andrew Breitbart 'Racist'
Hi Smoke,
Zing!
Sure, you are not a liberal and don't vote for the Democratic Party, yeah, right.
The difference is I want the politicians I vote for to be honest. This can't be the case with liberal politicians that share the snobbery you had just exhibited. If they were honest...
Hi Smoke,
Isn't there a glaring contradiction here? Presumably, the North contained descendents of these unsavory fellows you so colorfully describe. If that is the case, why do these people all of sudden become paragons of moral virtue to stop the unsavory elements that only wanted to secede...
