That's my take.
And it'll be a lot of fun to watch that happen.

Steve you should address this with Jet.
He is right but for 2 years his words get passed by..... This is serious business.

You have a gift in words and logic.

I appreciate the rare acknowledgment.

Most liberals hate seeing their hypocrisy. You can read how they know they're being hypocritical, yet continue on anyway. Conservatives hate being shown that their pushing grandiose agendas while basking in Reagan's shadow. Neither party has a prayer of fixing anything as long as they aspire to the status quo. Sad but true.

My take is that we should fire all the politicians and change everyone out with a vote. The problem is that we are only offered the candidates that have been approved by the masters.

We need to remove special interests and lobbyists, reset the Constitution to its basic premise, gut the FED, and maybe then we'll have a slight chance of pulling this out. Otherwise, it's going to be $30T in debt, $10 loaves of bread, .002% controlling all the wealth, the middle class decimated, and a free USA nothing more than a relic of history.

JMHO

I'm not exactly a Republican, but, I'm seeing life changing for everyone.

The problems that we face today are very similar to what the citizens of 30's Germany faced. Keep in mind that Hitler was the leader of The National Socialist Party. Once again, we have a party that is re-branding socialism as being "Progressive" This time around, if they gain total power, they'll go after all religion, demonize the traditional family, and embrace any immorality.

Does this sound even remotely familiar to anyone?

It really should...

Everyone should take the time to read this expose on the Nazi machine and how it took power. The similarity is quite a revelation.

The Nazi terror in the early years affected the lives of relatively few Germans and a newly arrived observer was somewhat surprised to see that the people of this country did not seem to feel that they were being cowed.... On the contrary, they supported it with genuine enthusiasm. Somehow it imbued them with a new hope and a new confidence and an astonishing faith in the future of their country.

Even the Repubicans project they will lose seats in the house simply because they took so many swing districts in 2010. They'll lose a good chunk of those in 2012 plus it was only a question of would the Republicans win 1-2 seats in the Senate but they're doing their best to lose seats by nominating complete loons who have no chance of winning a general election. As for Romney, his goose is cooked.

It honestly sounds like you're in the bargaining stage of dealing with grief. I know this election is going to be hard for you but rest assured it will all be over soon and the Repubs aren't going to get what they want.

So please tell us all about this "Obama terror" that's been going on since 2009, and be sure to draw exact historical parallels with the Third Reich.

I will keep it subtle.

If you think that centralizing government doesn't lead to disaster, then you have many things to learn.

You can learn the easy way or you can learn the hard way.


Parallels to the Third Reich are not what is important in America right now. The ability to see what is possible in the long run is.

Don't be so dumb to think that if you're able to get an Obama Phone, that you have a good President.

You have a lot to learn.

Sorry, I am not such a biased fool as to believe anything is a slam dunk at this point. The polls show it to be very close and Obama has a lot of liability at this point. As for the house and senate, there may be a few losses in the House, but the Senate, I believe will most likely fall to the republican party. (Damn shame it couldn't fall to the libertarians). If you didn't enjoy being a cheerleader so much, you might see that it is a very real possibility that Obama could lose this election....
RAH RAH!!

Individuals can't be held responsible for what happens to an entire political party. The only things we can control are our actions and responses as individuals.
