[quote=JetStarWell I would argue that the lack of regulation in the financial world allows credit default swaps to tank our entire economy. 8 years of Bush hypocrisy, that PROVED that tax cuts do not stimulate the economy or create job growth. The rich get richer, the middle class is disappearing, and the poor get poorer. Once the economy was destroyed, then the tax base dried up, and everyone suffered even more. Seriously? Not only woefully inaccurate, but complete fabrication. Those cuts were actually the last thing that stimulated the economy with anything more than abysmal failure, pathetic policy and horrible spending policies that hhave financially gutted this country. Stop blaming the past administration for the repulsive tactics of this pathetic excuse of an administration led by a president whose only ability is to bluster and attempt to inact more spending policies which will not solve the issues.

Republicans are the same people that screamed that GM was a lost cause, and should be left to rot, then cant admit it when you are wrong when they recover. The bailout of GM and AIG, Citigroup and all the rest was an abhorrent abuse of power and the most fiscally pathetic action to date. Completely wrong in its very concept, it only served to really mess things up, as companies which should have failed for a lack of solid management and responsibility, instead are still around creating a sucking chest wound of epic proportions. AIG just loves that they are off the radar. I didnt see your wonderful administration rushing to the aid of the thousands of small companies that went bankrupt when the continued economic woes rendered them incapable of sustaining themselves.

Republicans are the same people that got us into the longest wars in US history, with no plan to get out, and mass corruption behind it all. Imagine our economy if we didn't have those wars. You need to seriously go back to friggin school. With the exception of the Iraq/Afghanistan conflict, you have to go back to the Spanish American war to find one that we (americans) were involved in at the behest of a Republican leader. The rest, WW1, WWII, Korea, Vietnam...blah blah...you guessed it..Democrat leadership. The War machine does not have a political party.

Republicans are the same people that cheer Rick Perry for 250 plus executions in Texas, but at the same time reject a womans right to choose what happens in her own body, deny two human beings the right to marry and be treated equally under the law, and reject science. LOL...on this one, I just have to laugh. You commit a major crime, murder, rape, what have you, you do not deserve to live even in a prison. That is not politics, that is human. I will pull the switch myself and sleep good at night. As was stated, abortion is legal, does not mean everyone has to agree with it. The arguement you use is mute, as it is one sided. Does the man who contributed his seed not deserve a choice in that? Ah yes, grounds for another philosophical arguement. Marriage is a word, and the advancement of the gay/lesbian agenda is no different than any other political bullshit agenda. Fuck them and their "we deserve equality" BS. It will never be enough, just as with so many arguements for fair treatment and equality, which, when enacted have simply been the launching ground for yet one more. And before anyone calls me homophobic, suck my ass. I have a brother and a sister who are homosexual, neither of whom are demanding the rights to marry their partners, even tho my brother and his partner have been together for 25 years. What the fuck does science have to do with it?

Now lets take 8 years of disastrous policies and blame them on the current administration who was left holding the bag to clean it all up. This is a repeated arguement of yours, completely baseless and founded on a lack of specific information that can allow your chosen administration to perform with any degree of credibility. Its bullshit, completely undefendable and lacks imagination.

That's how I see it, and as I have stated many times, I am a follower and believer in the PBS Frontline series. The truth is all there for you to see if you can open your eyes. I have posted these many times to deaf ears. You can hear it from the players themselves. Political biased programming in many cases, out of context comments and a blending of truth do not make these perfect. In many cases it is ass covering "fess" ups and people trying to engender public support so they dont get slapped down.

Wolfgang although you found a way to pay for your health care, many have no way. When you are born to uneducated parents in the inner city, you don't have those same options, and people like you guys want to sentence these people to hardship and death. This is a complete cop-out. It is thhe typical social mindset, that some how this is the root of the problem. PHA. There are countless situations where this has been proven to be a complete falsehood. You need to read Bridges out of Poverty by Ruby Paine, get some perspective on this, and then donate 1/2 of your paycheck to the nearest National Guard Youth Challenge program, you have two in your state, the most successful at-risk youth programs in the country, which thoroughly disproves this fallacy. 89% success rate. This is not the United States as I see it.

I don't have kids, and yet I pay for education. Why? Because the success of the people is the success of the country, and therefore my success. Your first unbiased and intelligent comment in a while.

I can just hope more people see it my way than yours. I hope they do not. I hope that somehow, the vast number of people who cast ballots in the last election based on the color of a mans skin, wake up to the reality that he is a bonifide idiot incapable of leading a country and should never have been elected to do so. His wife would make a far better president than he will ever be. And I hope that the rest recognize that Rick Perry is a fanatical psychopath who also should never have been elected to anything, but certainly not President.
