Because what they are trying to do will put this nation in further poop then we already are. Bush spent way more then I liked but Obama is only making it worse. And now the Congressional Budget Office estimates the health care overhaul will likely cost about $115 billion more then stated. That is some big mistake there don't ya think??
Well, not really a mistake, more of a lie to get the bill passed and accepted.
The USDA grade bull that is Trickle down economics.
If we just slash the tax rate of the highest income brackets, then everyone benefits.
How many years of Obama will it take for Democrats to get even with those evil rich people? When do they become equal with the rest of us and no longer have to pay Obama type taxes?
1-Republicans havent been and there is no excuse for that
Agreed.
2-Its a shame you have to go all the way back to WW1-2 to prove democrats are stronger
You don't. Democrats are strong enough to talk about differences and seek resolution without having to start totally unnecessary wars that will be paid for by their great-great grandchildren. It takes truly weak and scared people to resort to war as a first measure. Or those who only got involved for their personal gain as former heads of energy companies, or those whose fathers sat on the boards of major munitions manufacturers.
3-Republicans slipped in this also but lets not pretend democrats protect them anymore then republicans were. Disagree with a democrat and they want to insult you till you just shut up.
Republicans, top be fair, are very muchh involved in State's Rights. Even today, some would like to secede from the Union because they don't get what they want exactly when they want it and have no intention af admitting that other parties win elections from time to time and are legitimate.
4-I would say that republican are more family value yes. Democrats think that simply because someone believes in family values means they are sub human and never going to make a mistake. Democrats forget that people are human and going to make mistakes its about owning that mistake and being responsible for it
Running around with your zipper down and a mattress on your back and yelling "Curb Service" hardly comes under the heading of a "mistake". A "mistake" is when Mark Sanford let himself fall in love with a woman who was not his wife. Trolling for a BJ in an airport toilet is not at all the same thing.
5-Republicans arent the ones trying to make people more dependent on the gov for a handout to provide for people.
True. Republicans want to bankrupt the general populace for the benefit of a select few and let them starve when they have nothing left. Why support them when they run out of money? Let them go beg from the Democrats.
Democrats have won the war on poverty. And it hardly cost anything.
In the sixty-plus years since World war II, Democrats have controlled virtually all of our cities and have made them crime-free hubs of educational excellence.
Democrats brought us Vietnam, after bamboozling the American public into thinking of the Republicans as war-mongers. Same with Afghanistan. Now in Year Nine, with no end in sight.
For every cutting, negative comment one can make about Republicans, there are plenty of egregious blunders made by the Dems. The problem is not one party or the other. It is the national lack of will, and the intelligence to reject political partisanship as anything other than a dead-end game of monkey poker.
Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to have their head examined.
Right. Good thing we conquered the Iraqis in the Gulf War. If we hadn't, we might have had to invade Iraq sometime later at a cost of over 700 billion dollars.
Talk to the UN about that - they're the reason we didn't finish the job then.

Do a bit of reading, and you will find that the reason we didn't invade Iraq then was that Bush 41 (who headed the CIA and was well-versed in the ways if the world, as well as being a battle-hardened veteran) called off the dogs because he correctly predicted the outcome of such folly as full-scale invasion. He knew we would become bogged down in a Viet Nam without a jungle and bankrupt the country.
It's a shame he didn't beat some sense into his offspring.
It's amusing how the leftists think that anybody that disagrees with them is simply uneducated. There's a name for that - it's called elitism, and you're demonstrating it nicely.
