Except for that guy who exponentially increased the nation's debt.

Apparently Michigan cut off 30k students from Food Stamps... the students were whining that they already in debt from school that they shouldn't have to pay for food... This is our new generation of Americans... investing in gold is looking better by the minute...

Okay we finally have proof positive that the majority of Americans are completely insane. Strange to find myself in the minority here, but I actually want to keep as much of my own income as possible.

Tell you what JazzyTallGuy lets you and me contact the government and work out a deal where you can pay my taxes for me. That way we can both get what we want. You can give more of your money to the government and I can give less.

It is clear now, that the GOP stinks. They stunk under Bush. They stunk under Bush Sr before that. They stunk under Reagan before that. Obviously they are stinking up the place something fierce now, just continuing with their Bush-like nonsense. Many on the Right here were claiming some sort of "victory" over the budget battle, too short-sighted to realize that "MORE BUSH" is not good for the country.

GOP created the Tea party. Not good. GOP didn't listen to Obama, goes their own way. Downgrade. Dow drops. The country is in panic mode. President Obama has been right all along, and obviously is going to have to go on the offensive to offset this very pathetic and bigoted segment of our society.
Dude, shutting your eyes and covering your ears while repeating GOP dominates Congress and therefore makes Obama look bad doesn't make it true

This is not an Obama thread, but your claim is false. Bush added 6 trillion, and Obama has added 3.

The people who believe the Tea party hates obama is a classic example of brainwashing by the media who for the most part is owned by liberal elitists.
I've been to 2 DC Tea Party rallies. That's what gave me my impression of Obama-hating teapers (not to mention the numerous posts by TP supporters on web forums - NOT views created by the "liberal media").

enough with the spend and borrow liberals
If you look at it that way, then Republicans just thew in another 3 trillion.

Anyweizer, this thread is about Americans being anrgy at GOP. You seem to want them to be angry at Dems, but at this point they are angry at GOP. I am sorry if that fact offends you.

Why should he? You guys blame Democrats for Bush's disaster, instead of your Dear Leader, despite the fact that half our debt is directly attributable to him.

Double standards are fun!
