Has anything changed in America? Yes. We are now funding baby killing overseas. We have now taken control of auto companies. We have now buried ourselves in more debt that anytime in history. We have now put ourselves in the biggest deficits in history. We are now more divided than ever in this country. Yes, things have changed.

One thing those on the left need to understand. Democrats ALWAYS end up losing. There is no possibility of democrats maintaining control forever. The pattern is always this. Republicans get elected, as most people are fiscal conservatives. At some point in time, conservatives start spending too much and get voted out for something different. The democrats come in and instantly start the spending spree and they get voted out in favor of conservatives again. Wash, rinse and repeat. It's a joke. The only question is will democrats have control for 4 or 8 years.

If I was a democrat, I would not be so cocky as I know my party will lose again. It ALWAYS happens.
Ok well you only really responded to one part of my post, so I'll try cover that.

Ok were funding abortions overseas, what most people who voted for Obama wanted...
We've taken control of auto companies... That has changed my life 0%. Name one bad thing that has come from "controlling" the auto companies. Seriously.
We knew all about the stimulus package, you act as if Obama just all of a sudden spent a bunch of money without telling anyone. We all knew and talked about the stimulus package, and then decided it was the best thing to do for America.
We are now "more divided than ever"? Prove it. You can't cuz its just hyperbole.

And that was quite a little rant against democrats there, you mad?

And technically you're wrong, the Republicans ALWAYS lose since currently the Democrats control the presidency and congress, but I'm sure there will be a time when some republicans make a come back. Maybe like 2032 or something. Till then I'd just quit the whining and go with the flow, cuz this is happening whether you like it or not.

Remember everybody eventually loses, Republican or Democrat, so TiC's statement makes a moot and irrelevant point.

I see the economy is still in the throws of the bursting biggest speculative bubble in history and unemployment is still increasing as expected. The real recovery will become noticeable in mid 2010 and be well under way through 2011 & 2012. I expect this to create the conditions for another Democratic victory in 2012.

After that I expect there will be major reforms to the banking and securities industry to control speculative gambling and excess executive overhead. The latter may be done by restoring progressivity to our income tax system.

I expect the Republican Party will split into the Plutocrat Party, the Libertarian Party and the Morality Party.

I am an Obama supporter and will remain so even if he gets us into another Imperial War.

Default obama has always been a garbage liberal

See Conservatives thats right! We know our facts!!


So it doesn't bother you liberals that obama has done all this damage in the short time he's in office?


Facts!!

On Obamas first day in office, January 21, 2009, Obama signed Executive Order 13489. This order was entered into the Federal Register on January 26, 2009.




What this executive order says, is that only the Attorney General (Eric Holder) and Council to the President, (Gregory Craig) are able to review presidential records requests and determine if they can be made public or not. (See Section 3)

In other words, you aren’t going to see any records or documents that Obama doesn’t want you to see.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Obama’s first official act was to deny access to his records. Obama has lived for 48 years without leaving any footprints—none! There is no Obama documentation—no bona fides—no paper trail—nothing.

Original, vault copy birth certificate—Not released
Certificate of Live Birth—Released—Counterfeit
Obama/Dunham marriage license—Not released
Obama/Dunham divorce—Released (by independent investigators)
Soetoro/Dunham marriage license—Not released
Soetoro adoption records—Not released

Soetoro/Dunham divorce—Released (by independent investigators)
Fransiskus Assisi School School application—Released (by independent investigators)
Punahou School records—Not released
Selective Service Registration—Released—Counterfeit
Occidental College records—Not released
Passport—Not released and records scrubbed clean by Obama’s terrorism and intelligence adviser.
Columbia College records—Not released
Columbia thesis—Not released
Harvard College records—Not released
Harvard Law Review articles—None
Baptism certificate—None
Medical records—Not released
Illinois State Senate records—None
Illinois State Senate schedule—Lost
Law practice client list—Not released
University of Chicago scholarly articles—None

Go ahead, tell me that this is just a coincidence.






Everybody remember this list in 4 years when its time to vote! This is a real deal list of all the negatives obama has done to date! Facts!!


** Obama has already spent more money than any person in the history of the planet.
** Obama and Pelosi's stimulus bill was the largest spending bill in the history of the planet.
** Obama and democrats have already saddled America's children and grand children with massive debt. Not that this bothers them.

** He's lost at least 3 administration nominees due to tax fraud.
** He's promoted a tax cheat to run the IRS and Treasury.
** He's insulted America's greatest ally, Great Britain.
** He's reneged on missile agreements with allies Poland and the Czech Republic.
** His administration has already met with the murderous Assad Regime from Syria.

** Obama signed legislation to close Gitmo.
** Obama freed a dirty bomber from Gitmo to Great Britain.
** Obama told US soldiers and marines in Afghanistan, "We're losing."
** Obama's VP told US soldiers and marines that US deaths will rise in Afghanistan.
** Obama has already discussed holding peace talks with the Taliban.

** The Obama stock market had its worst January in 113 years.
** The stock market had its worst February since 1933.
** The Dow has dropped faster under Obama than any other new president in 90 years.

** Obama's budget more than doubles the national debt held by the public, and adds more to the debt than all previous presidents -- from George Washington to George W. Bush -- combined.

** Obama managed to spend more than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

** Obama will quadruple the deficit this year.

** Obama passed legislation to fund foreign abortions.
** Obama passed legislation to fund embryonic stem cell research.

** Team Obama already banned offshore drilling.
** Obama scrapped oil and gas leases in Utah for energy development.
** Obama and democrats permanently banned drilling in ANWR.

No president has ever received this much unwarranted hate before, and its only 7 months into his presidency.

You have to admit that the USA has not changed since Obama was elected, yet there are threads made every day talking about all of the damage Obama has done. This is obvious blind hate, and you reasonable conservatives need to figure out how to separate yourself from the ignorant part of your constituency. Maybe go independent, who knows? Just do something.

Obama did not spend my money because I do not have any. I simply adore the way the GOP is portrayed by its most vehement nutcases. Wonderful.

Now he states we may leave up to 50k troops in Iraq and is escalating an unnecessary war in Afghanistan. Isn't that what McCain said he wanted to do?

No tax increase on the middle class.
Now he wants to pass cap & trade which he admits will raise your utility bills by a large percentage. This means you are paying a tax, without it being called a tax. It also means that everything you need to buy will cost more. That doesn't help the middle class.

Close down Gitmo.
That was not really truthful, as he is now using another detention facility. A bit of smoke an mirrors there. Do Obama supporters ever pay attention to facts or do they just believe what they are spoon fed?

Will govern from the middle, taking input from Republicans.
NOT. Republicans have been shut out of discussions and we now know Obama is governing from the fringe far left. What ever happened to letting everyone review everything in a bill for at least a week before a vote is taken? Oh, that wouldn't work when trying to pass a far left agenda. You don't want people to see what's actually in the bill.

Will support the same rights for ALL people.
Refuses to support a FULL gay rights policy, including marriage rights. Last time I checked, denying gays marriage rights is a form of discrimination.

I could go on and on. If you supported Obama on what he campaigned on, how can you support him when he governs by the opposite of what he promised? Admit it, either you can no longer support him or you really can't think for yourselves and you will support him no matter what he says or does, even if he is flip flopping on promises.

Anyone questioning why Obama has quadrupled the deficit in 6 months and has never mentioned how we will ever pay this stuff off? What if a Republican did this? Wouldn't the libs be upset? But their side does it 4 times worse then the Republicans and all of a sudden it is allowed?

GAME, SET, MATCH!!! The real Obama has been unmasked. This is the reason why his popularity is falling fast. When you are dishonest, people stop trusting you.
Wake up America before he ruins this great Country.........

Come back in 3 years and let us know how he ruined the country. You must let us in on your gift of clairvoyance.

If I believed for a moment your alarmist message, what good would waking up do? You're in for another 3 years of ruination, pal.

Default Things I find interesting.

How those on the left can't seem to discuss the very valid issues that have been brought up. They just start name calling, as usual.

How those on the left can only deny what has been recorded on tape or just say liar liar pants on fire. It doesn't show so well for them when everyone is laughing at them.

How some in this very thread have stated they don't care what Obama does or how many promises he breaks or how many times he fails, they will always support him and vote for him next time. That about sums up the problem. Blind followers who can't seem to separate themselves enough to independently assess each issue in a mature manner.

How those on the left love to re-write history. Facts are never a friend of the left.


Today was another day of the democrat destruction show on ice. Now the democrats are threatening to "steamroll" the Blue Dog democrats if they don't cave and give in. They are blowing themselves up. I never thought it would happen this fast. I thought it would take a full year.


Health Care Talks Stall Among House Democrats, Timetable Further in Doubt - Political News - FOXNews.com (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/24/democratic-leaders-consider-bypassing-house-committee-advance-health/ - broken link)

"It pretty much fell apart this afternoon," said Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., part of the Blue Dog Coalition.
"I've been lied to. I've not had legitimate negotiations," Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-La., another Blue Dog, said after talks hit a wall between his group and Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.


Pelosi Hits Throttle on Health Care Bill Despite Democrats' Concerns - Political News - FOXNews.com

Democratic leaders are considering bypassing the House Energy and Commerce Committee, merging the bills that have passed out of two other House committees and bringing that to the floor. This would avert the trouble of granting concessions to the Blue Dogs, who hold several seats on the Energy and Commerce Committee.
But that could lead to a party revolt and wouldn't necessarily help the bill pass. The Blue Dog Coalition has 52 members, and a senior Blue Dog on Thursday predicted that nearly all, if not all, of the members would vote against a bill in its present form.

You realize you pretexted that sentence in such a way that essentially you just did what you claim your opposition does?

"Those stupid liberals are always making attacks at conservatives, its their usual way of attacking anything conservatives say"

You dont see the fallacy in that statement, let alone that frame of thought?

The left is just as crazy as the right. The only difference is, the left have the political advantage because the right had their way in the government for a small time, and it turns out they were wrong in much of what they were trying to do (hence why Republican have been swept out in the last 2 elections).

The left was unnattractive to the moderates and centrists in the nation when it started raving frantically and angrily in 2004. The right is doing the same thing now. Maybe when cooler heads prevail, the GOP will make a comeback as the Dems did.
