I watched it start to finish. I heard a calm, reasonable approach, filled with suggestions for solutions and areas that need immediate addressing. I heard him call for input from both parties and talk about meetings they're having with Republicans on some of these issues.

Would you mind pointing out the fear-mongering in that to me?
That video was posted to point out Rahms comment about not wasting a crisis

You're right about one thing. It is funny. And you keep going on and on about it.

Let me see. Did you end a post saying, "is that you, Ms. Cleo?" In another post, did you imply that Jadex and I may be the same person? Given that you're not at my computer, I can only conclude that perhaps you are actually Ms. Cleo.

speaking of FEAR. . . Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" should be mandatory! He clearly outlines the roots of "fear based culture" in America............. the best of all of his movies, and the least biased!

You really think there's ever been a Democratic equivalent to any of the above?
Yes.

Global warming tops them all and the state run media gladly pushes the agenda that we are all going to die if we don't sign up for a stupid cap and trade system that benefits large corporations like GE and Al Gore's investments group.

That is but one of them, but of course you probably agree with Al Gore so you will feel it is valid to tell people we will all die if we don't sign up for a garbage system that will do nothing for the environment.

And now conservatives are wanting to throw the Dems out and they are telling people why, yet somehow since you don't agree its simply fearmongering. When your side does it, its not. Got it.

The fact that you're parroting the talking point "Obama is a socialist", not to mention "Obeyme", PROVES that you're not thinking for yourself.
And Bush was never called a fascist? Or a nazi? I think for myself, I am calling a spade a spade. I don't have to parrot anyone to realize that Obama is a socialist. He supports the idea of sharing wealth through government for the common good, regardless of how much a person has contributed to society. Why is it that liberals like to pursue socialist ideas, but they refuse to allow the correct label to be applied to the ideas?

As far as "obeyme" I saw it on another forum and thought it was funny so I threw it in. I guess having a sense of humor and joking around PROVES that I don't think? Wow, you must be boring and miserable.

The first and the only thing the GOP needs is complacent people, are you kidding me? You're MADE complacent for this very purpose -- except when your fear and anger are needed of course, so those get tweaked up. And that's what's happening now.
Whats getting tweaked up? The same thing that was tweaked up with you when Bush was in office? Which by the way I was pretty angry with Bush too, but then again I don't expect you to understand the idea of disliking things that BOTH parties are doing to us. Its hard for die hard partisans to feel disdain for the party they support when they screw up.
