Why do you get angered by people who simply point out that your own post, will result in an economic crash, if left wing kook theories are correct..
The same thing goes for the Keystone pipeline, it's nothing but a "shovel ready" infrastructure project, something the libs were telling us was economic stimulus.

So the voters are actually going to vote for representatives who put the country first, before party and cronies? So in other words every senate Democrat and Republican incumbent will be voted out? They sure as hell should be.

And the liberals blame everything on Bush, even when he has been out of office for 5 years.

Now look at the people posting in this thread.

Pick one-is it the president, or is it the senate? PICK.
No - when the President is of the same party as the Senate it is BOTH the fault of the Senate and the President. The President Obama is the leader of the Democrats, as such he has very strong influences over what happens in the Senate. That changes when the Presidency and the Senate are controlled by different parties. Then it would be the Senate has more control.

Unfortunatly many voters never heard of the names they vote for in Congressional elections. I wish people did their homework, but they don't. Many vote for the letter "R" or the "D" based on party affiliation which they inherited from their parents. Yes, for some people it is as simple as that.

I don't agree that they should be all voted out. The problems stem mostly from the extremes on both sides. That would include most of the Democrats and about 20% of the Republicans. So we really only need to vote out about 40%.

I like how they frame the future against the single worst year since WWII (2009).


And we're supposed to feel good that if we get a decade long stretch of Nominal GDP growth averaging 5% a year (~= to 3% "Real" GDP growth) we're going to make virtually NO progress on reducing the Debt:GDP ratio which is currently as high as it's been since the end of WWII?

Learn the rules, before slinging accusations!!

Why don't you call them and ask.
Conveniently only keeping the parts that make this administration look good.

Not telling the whole picture is a lie also. And blaming it on copyright rules is, well, very liberal.

I am sorry you lack the knowhow to open and read links. But then again, how do you know what it said, if you didn't read it from what I included? You are being childish.

It's my thread, and I am tired of people who don't have anything to say about the topic, but they come in anyway just to distract with some childish accusations.
