Both parties are responsible for the mess we're in, but the last years the Dems have been in power and haven't done any real great good, so I expect a turnaround to the Repubs for the next Congress.
It was A-OK for the government to step in and help the big banks. But then the banks turned around and didn't want to make loans to the small business'. So, the small business package was sent in to help the small business owners (specific) and every Replubican voted against it. When Olympia Snowe said that they needed to help business owners quickly, and this is why she supported a filibuster-----people should have said..........what?
They aren't going to be happy until the entire population is making 2.05 an hour, living in huts in a feudal society under the guns of a god.
There goes the whole Obama (Or Democrats) strategically destroyed car dealership theory and violated the constitution. Note the Project Alpha before Genesis.
I am Independent and I am not happy with some of the Democrats. I will be damned if my vote goes to a Republican.
Government Motors is actually owned by the government and their minions the UAW. Chrysler is going nowhere because too many people don't want to buy from them or Government motors so Ford is going pretty good without any government help. I guess they weren't the last ones that suffered a strike by UAW.
Can you tell me which party the unions usually vote for and why?
Indeed not. If I were you, I would be embarrassed to post such drivel. It's obviously the result of a tremendously biased, uninformed mind.
Best wishes in overcoming whatever delusions you are up against.
God speed.
Is there a chance that you could take the points you call something other than truth apart and argue how and why they are wrong? I doubt it but I did think I should ask, just in case you might be better than most progs.
Why would anyone vote, period. They're ALL a bunch of freakin' lier's. The Bush administration, whether filled with Dems or Repubs., destroyed this country. We'll be fortunate, VERY fortunate, to see any kind of turnaround any time soon. Everything is hanging in the balance by a very thin line. This country is in serious need of an overhaul. The lesser of two evils just isn't getting the job done. Probably won't see it in my lifetime.
Nope, I was born in and lived my life in flat out Republican Kansas. I voted for president the way my father always voted and then I understood where the Democrats were headed and changed sides.
Please don't lump Kansas in with the South since there was more bleeding and dying done in Kansas over slavery up to the time of the Civil War than anywhere else. I guess you must be young enough that you never got to study about Bleeding Kansas in your history classes. I haven't looked lately but in the books that were in print in the 1980s that story had been removed, for some progressive reason.
Hey, I tore down several confederate flags in various Army barracks and dared the fools that put them up to put them back. Nope, I am not a southerner but I do side with them these days and much of that comes from a trip I took into Mississippi in 1964 and the way the blacks and poor farmers I talked to there. It didn't look any better then for blacks than it had since the Civil War period but some very intelligent black men convinced me that they were willing to wait things out rather than get violent. Do you suppose that they were supporters of MLK?
As a Veteran who was retired on disability from the Army, I can't help but notice I would be collecting about $800 a month in CRDP payments if it weren'y for McCain, Kyle and the GOBP. Over the years they have voted to give the rich billions in tax cuts and incentives, I figure $179,000 of that money was mine
Pretty close to the amount each Congress person is paid each year for "giving of their services".

I'm very well aware of the history of Kansas.
But the pattern of voting Dem in every presidential election until 1972 was common in the South, so that's why I asked the question.
Hey, Kev did Bush and his boys and girls pass the stimulus abortion? How about the health insurance reform bill? Did they buy out GM and turn it over to the UAW? Just wondering.
Forgetting the Wall Street bailouts?
And Obamacare was patterned after a failed bill written in the late 1980s by Bob Dole.

Nope, it was nominating McGovern who promised a bunch of welfare people from California that he would seek a $5600 per year guaranteed income for all people. NOw that doesn't sound like much but for those who were adult in 1972 it was pretty good pay for doing nothing other than collecting a check. When he made that promise I promised myself that if they nominated him I was gone and they left me standing.
I don't like voting for either party enough that I just pick out one from is campaign lies and vote for the one that seems best. Since every Democrat candidate since 1972 has been too far left for me I just haven't voted for one of them.
BTW, I got tired of wasting my vote because Kansas always goes to the Repubican.
