Wonder how many of these Republicans are poor,unemployed,or have no healthcare insurance and in need of major medical intervention because if you ever do get there your Republican party is going to throw you under the bus with gusto.

That was an insightful and educated post.

Let's see....................... there are certain realities, beyond placards and party chants, that need to be addressed-

1. $trillion dollar annual deficits
2. unsustainable debt
3. high unemployment
4. poor economy
5. huge trade deficits
6. unfunded social programs


Just how do you propose to fund these entitlement programs without bankrupting the nation and creating a Somalia style anarchy?

ANSWER- Huge spending cuts. Europe has realized that the socialist entitlement system is destructive and they are changing course. Obama, on the other hand, has re-directed the ship TOWARD the iceberg.

Actually, Clinton allowed a 25% attrition rate at CIA during his two terms even though we were attacked over and over by the same Al Qaeda that attacked us on 9/11. That's why we had no operatives on the ground inside Afghanistan. Also, other nations are reluctant to share their intelligence with us because the gang of eight leaks like a sieve.


YouTube - Democrats before Iraq War started....



You seem awful light on facts.

No liberals don't luv those things anymore than conservatives.
We the people need to stop the blame game and try to figure solutions to our problems together.
As our country is wasting away in front of our faces we need to get mad at our corrupt politicians on both sides of the aisle.

Work harder, sell assets, invest in education for a different job, move, rely on relatives, consider foriegn job opportunities. Don't sit on your butt and whine like an infant, helpless to help yourself. Do something.


Before the mess of all the entitlements and freebies, no one starved in America. When people faced desperate situations, they sought different lines of employment, moved to other places, or developed skills to get a different job.

The nation is broke. We do not have the money for all the freebies. If we continue to do so, the nation will become insolvent and anarchy will erupt. This helps no one.

Therefore, the liberal solution of ignoring the problem and spend until anarchy erupts is not a good one. Like most problems in life, we must face them early, or they only become worse if we ignore them. This is the case with deficits.
