What do you think they did?

Rogers, seniors group pops off at Congressional raises | livingstondaily.com | Livingston Daily (http://www.livingstondaily.com/article/20081218/NEWS01/81218012 - broken link)

Congress had a chance to look out for you. They blew it. Again.

OK, everyone knows that Frank is out for his own gay agenda. Nancy is using a big plane so that she doesn't have to make a stop over. ( In the midst of global warming ).

I'm here to tell ya, the Democratic Congress and White House wants you to believe that we should be proud of the assault they're about to push down our throats.

They're flying around on tax funded airplanes. Doesn't that make you mad?
We have a corrupt 2 party system, what would you expect? BTW the middle class is disappearing, soon there won't be one to help and that will solve the problem for both parties.

Both sides say they will, but all they ever look after is their own special interests.

The only thing W ever strengthened was "Big China" and his and Cheney's bank accounts.

Where DID the $12 Billion "Bremer Bucks" go, I wonder? Do you know?
Just look at CA the Gov is very angry at the elected officials.

Can't happen? Haven't you been reading the news? It is happening. He is increasing spending for virtually everything, including Title X (which funds Planned Parenthood) by a huge amount.

Falsely calling Obama a socialist? What do you call him? He is a Socialist, and he is a Marxist. This is not news, and it isn't a false claim. It is not even a secret that he is an admirer of Marx. Why do you think he and Ayers were so tight? They are birds of a feather.

Now the next thing you need to do is go the War Crimes thread, and say how Bush's crimes are the figment of the imagination of the far left.

And the Democrats, who have been in control most of the past eight years (If you don't believe that, why haven't the Republicans been able to get their appointments confirmed, or their own agenda passed?) have been all to willing to go along with all the spending increases.

The Democrats whine if the rate of growth of a budget line item is reduced! Ever hear of "base line budgeting"? That means, basically, that everything will increase automatically by a percentage every year. That's why they whine and call it a "budget cut" when the Republicans want to reduce that rate of growth.

Obama has claimed many times to be a friend and a big fan of Marx, as well as Hart and Schaffner. We knew that.

He and Ayers were never tight. That would have been Bush in Peru recently that you are thinking of.

Bush is the leaping, screaming socialist using tax dollars to buy the financial , insurance, and automobile industries to be run by the U.S. Government.

Hope this clarifies things a bit for you. My apologies if you found my post obfuscatory.
