Republicans, theocracy..... Democrats who take your money to do ridiculous things with it.... National Endowment for the Arts, sports arenas, PBS, government-controlled healthcare, etc.... both sides want to tell you how to live your lives one way or the other.

Don't know what any of those have to do with FREEDOM.

sports arenas
hmm where I am from that would be the repubs doing that.

You have a problem with PBS. ARTS. Education, getting healthcare on the right track, which right now is ran by people to make a profit off you and NOT give you the care you paid for?

I feel sorry for you.

Your kind thinks war does better for us than helping the people at home-- and you would sacrifice kids, sick people, veterans, disabled and education to pay for it. wow.

you honestly believe that the government doesn't profit off of health care? are you not aware that the united states federal is the largest corporation in the world? that's right, a corrupt corporation. I feel sorry for those who fail to understand this.

I am not for a FOR Profit health care. But more so, I am not for america already paying MORE in corporate welfare to these private corporations who run our system, than it would cost to have everyone covered. We already PAY FOR IT, yet we are not covered. And those that are covered, who pay for it, do not get what they pay for.

If we "did good" under Clinton, why did Bush inherit a recession?

I never mentioned war. I also am not a Republican. Be careful with generalizations. I think we should stay out of other country's business as much as possible.
Where I live, it's the mostly the Democrats who want sports arenas to be publicly funded. Mainly because that's all there are here, Democrats.

I do not want any kind of socialism in a country that is supposed to be free.

If you call a budget surplus and the biggest economic boom in history a recession, I have a bridge in alaska to sell you. If youre talking about the dot.com crash.. not Clinton's fault and that was not a recession. What we have now is a recession. What we had under Reagan and Bush Sr was a recession.

I hope that you aren't hoping for the government that ruined health care, to be the government that saves it.
