I agree with both of you. The problem is that we have a political class who place themselves above the people. They call themselves public servants, but it's really the public who have become their slaves.

America's best days may very well be ahead of us, if we can keep Republicans from setting this country ablaze before they follow the dinosaur into extinction. We must remain vigilant to this ever present menace.
So... you believe the country would be better off with a single ruling "progressive" party, void of white people?

And you believe it's the Republicans who would set this country ablaze? You're stuck in the 70s and don't even realize it.





Folks, these are the fruits of your public education tax dollars!

Heartwarming news on Thanksgiving Eve.

And the icing on the cake is that even more people think Obama is a failure than Bush. There's still three more years for his numbers to drop even more.

You are talking about a survey of 1000 adults lol What a joke of a survey this is

I seem to recall that Romney was going to blow out Obama in 5 of 9 major polls. Surveys don't mean much, since most are designed to support whatever the surveyor is trying to prove.

Another garbage thread. W was the most inept President in a century or more. I have a feeling the "Independent Review" is not quite what its name implies.

Default That's so true---

3. War

While W’s invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan had bipartisan backing, and with prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi having stated their beliefs that Iraq had wmds, Obama feels he has the authority to send troops to potentially die for the country without Congressional representation. Joe Biden said W. should be impeached if he unilaterally took the U.S. to war with Iran, but the Nobel Peace Prize winning president may do it twice with Libya and Syria, while racking up 74% of the U.S. fatalities in Afghanistan. What about civil liberties?

It's a conservative website, so no surprises. I do think that in many ways Obama is worse than Bush, but not for the idiotic reasons cited by that website.

Ironic that a libertarian site would whine that a President isn't creating enough jobs, goes to show you that the label "libertarian" is a joke

Sounds like a very biased poll. I am sure that most Americans support neither contention. RWNJs? sure. I suspect that was the "target" for this poll. And of course, they could be certain that folks like Trace would post such bogus results immediately. The truth is something that partisan njs avoid like kryptonite.
