I voted for the Bushes 4 times and regret it. But, who the hell was I supposed to vote for, the father of NAFTA, Bush Sr.'s best buddy Clinton? All Gore?
If you want to blame someone, start with Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.

Phil that is the truth. If every need is taken care of they have no reason to try. There has been a so called war on poverty for how long now and it has only gotten worse. Politicians see them as weak dependent people who will jump at the promise of more free stuff without any effort from them and Obama, Democrats and the Liberals fed them those promises and they bought it hook line and sinker. They also knew the young did not know better and went with the so called "cool guy". And played on women with a ridiculous "war on women" ploy who obviously don't have a clue how truly lucky us woman here in America have it

and now all of us hard working Americans have to deal with the result.

Just like those happy go lucky welfare recipients who spend half a day standing in the various lines at the multiple agencies that they have to pass through on their carefree life in welfare nirvana.

Michigan is a socialist utopia? What does Mr. XXX think about the states of Connecticut or Washington? I bet he pretends they don't exist.

If you're going to take it upon yourself to start correcting peoples' grammar on this forum, you've taken on a never ending job.

May as well start by correcting your own punctuation skills first.

My punctuation skills are pretty darn good. If you go back and read his/her post, you'll understand why my post is punctuated as it is.
