down here in Texas we call that hypocracy.
Where is the line here?

Barrack Obama says, "I'm going to draw down troops, we shouldn't be fighting foreign wars."

Republicans say, "Anti-american, how could he draw down troops."

In the next breath they talk about the deficit.

So what are we supposed to do? Lower taxes, keep fighting foreign wars, and screw everyone here over at home? Just so we can possibly protect Eastern Europe against a missle attack that will never come?

Or do we take care of OUR responsiblity to OUR people, and OUR country. We quit spending 651 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR ON MILITARY SPENDING. You can't have it both ways. Thats per year, over ten years that 6 Trillion dollars.

Hell, Republicans are pissed about a 10 Billion dollar health care bill, that happens over 10 years, yet they want to keep spending money on a sheild, for another country, that hasn't done jack for us, for a military attack that will never come.

your playing fast and lose with the numbers on healthcare.

Its a trillion over 10 years to start with and the numbers dont support that. There are 2 Trillion spent on healthcare now. If we add 49 million that is roughly 1/6th of the population to the roles, we are going to have a hard time doing that by adding 1/20th of the money to pay for it.


your nuts.


and beyond that your incoherent rant about what republicans call people has nothing to do with the way Barak Obama is treating other nations.... considering the scolding he gave bush for treating other nations with contempt.

THAT is still HYPOCRACY.


PS, for those that dont know, Mr. Obama notified the Polish that we would not comply with their wishes and put the MDS in their country on the ANAVERSARY OF RUSSIAS INVASTION OF POLAND.

What a collassal JERK.

Update Republican Brent Scowcroft, President George H.W. Bush's national security adviser, today endorsed Obama's new policy. "I strongly approve of President Obama's decision regarding missile defense deployments in Europe. I believe it advances U.S. national security interests, supports our allies, and better meets the threats we face," he said.

Blah, Blah, Blah, Time to head out to the stable, your high horse is hungry.

Deciding against the landbased system in favor of sea based does NOTHING to 'dis' the supposedly offended countries, what Obama said/didn't say about Bush doesn't change that.

YOU are the fake with your pi$$y little sense of outrage over NOTHING!

You see, it wasn't the US allies that were targeted for "improved" relations. It is our enemies he is looking to bend over for.

The allies, Israel, Honduras, Columbia, Poland he is throwing under the bus.

We got strange allies when they make comments like this: "Americans have always cared only about their interests, and all other countries have been used for their purposes. This is another example,” - Lech Walesa 09/18/2009

It appears they are quick to take our money and even quicker to thrash us when they don't get what they want.
