So the liberals should get together and start a charity health care company if they think its right.. Everyone pitch in that likes the cause of providing children free health care, and whalaa, a liberal program thats a success. Ooh wait, they again cant do this, and have to lean towards the government.

Yes, I'm willing to cancel my parents medicare if they are receiving it.. They didnt pay into it, that wasnt the agreement when they signed up for that welfare program called Social Security, and its turned into another failure.
You must have had an esp. bad childhood.

Default Do liberals look to the government because they are failures?

I have a much better question...

Do Republicans give government handouts to large corporations and wealthy contractors because they're failures?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

Handouts = liberals

They are looking to Obama for more Handouts!

Can you imagine half those people he keeps saying will be able to afford college in college. Half of them would steal the money and run while the other half would steal the room mates belongings.

Actually you can just fire them, it is done all the time when you have good administrators who know how to manage their folks. Poor administrators who do not document are a problem.

No liberals look to Government because they think they know best. Liberals are big on making excuses for poor decision making, poor judgment, and lousy follow through. They don't believe in personal accountability because all the worlds woe's are the result of rich people and greed. Liberals believe in redistribution of wealth regardless of an individuals effort, hard work and forethought that it took to acquire it. They believe that by rewarding those who don't put forth real effort that it will level the playing field. You will notice that many Liberals are far more elitist than your average working class Joe. You will find that many liberals like the Kennedy's, the Kerry's and the Edwards of the world shelter their money in tax free municipal bonds and such. Its not their money that will be taken , not their wealth that will be redistributed.
I work hard for my money and I sacrificed my entire adult life to get where I am. I am not rich. I earn 70g a year. I refuse to reward those who simply feel it is owed to them. I refuse to reward those who refuse to think ahead, who refuse to plan, who refuse to sacrifice for their tomorrows.
5 children and a job that pays 8bucks an hour? Condoms cost quite a bit less than a delivery. Well that is if you had to pay for it yourself. No money for insurance but money for the bar, cigarettes, and lottery tickets. No money to pay the bills but plenty for that wide screen TV.
Liberals feel society is to blame for everything especially those in society that actually accept personal responsibility for their actions and decisions.

As for arcadia national park.. yes, it was donated, but why did they choose not to manage it rather then put the expense onto the government. Thats my point, great that they got together to save it from the saw mills, congragulations, they would have received a huge applause from me, and you would have earned your ding, ding, ding, but then they had to go and turn it over to the government, i.e. tax payers to operate...
Catholics are liberal, not conservative. The schools were instituted to keep the failth alive and to ensure that even the poorest children were educated to the max to move up in the society. Catholic philosophy is a liberal philosophy and is a proponent of many of the things you are against such as sanctuary for illegal immigrants, welfare and child care grants, adoption grants, etc.

I agree but this Dem congress is a grotesque failure certainly no fight in them other than speeches but no action.

This Congress with Pelosi the ring leader has hurt Obama more than Bush has hurt Mccain.

People who voted for this bunch feel betrayed and rightfully so thus resent them .
