I recall living in the back of my pickup truck during a Reagan regime tenure, wasn't he the best economist America ever had or what!!?? Yeah, I was cold, wet, and miserable enough to want to have choked Reagan, but I chalked it up to experience.
Oh, psssst, libs don't control, the House has a R majority.
1. Reagan had a House controlled by the dems for EIGHT YEARS!
2. One guy in a pickup does not an economy make
3. We have a proven success plan under Reagan, vs proven failure under Obama. Only an idiot would choose four more years of the same failed policy.
Yet a very true statement. The Republicans in the House have no interest in compromising anything. It is literally a s**t show that has been going on in the House.
Ah, ok. So Democrats in the House during Reagan's presidency were willing to compromise with the Republican Senate, but Democrats in the Senate are not willing to compromise with House Republicans during Obama's Presidency ?

LOL
Stop making **** up. It makes you look ignorant.
No, the Democrats in the House during the Reagan years were willing to compromise with the majority in control. The current day Republicans in the House are not willing to compromise with the current majority in control. But I get how you were able to overlook that fact even though it made you look ignorant.
After Obama is out, libs will have had eight years of control. Eight years of president, eight years of senate control (we will see in 2014), and two years of congressional control. Few, if any presidents, have had such a political landscape in which they could implement thier policy.
So.................... after eight years of
lower incomes
more unemployment
lower savings
more in poverty
more on foodstamps
more homeless
more part time workers
...........................what next? More of the same policy of the previous eight years? If not, what "new" ideas will liberals have to reverse the above trend? Do you contend it will take sixteen years? Fifty years? Why did it take Reagan only three years?
I don't know about the "Libs", but this Centrist is looking forward to another 16 years of responsible governing by the Dems. It will take at least that long til there is a viable GOP again.
Actually, Senate Democrats are actively blocking anything that comes out of the House. How could that fact escape you?
Because the majority in control disagree with what the minority is proposing. If the House cared about passing anything they would compromise with the majority in control rather than send far right Republican ideas that they know are going to be dead on arrival.
Did you honestly think Nader or Paul ever have a chance? Heck, I didn't even know Nader ran in 2008. Vote for who you think would be right but never expect that person to win or you will always feel like you are throwing away your vote.
The odds that a third-party candidate will win are in the same range as the odds that your single vote for a major party candidate will decide the election. By your logic, then, all votes are a waste.
