Thank you for the complement, especially when comparing it to the last 8 years with the morons we were all stuck with.
Share the wealth, huh?

Why should the "rich guy" bust his tail to give you a "tax cut" check? You think the "rich guy" is that dumb? He'll either figure out a way to earn less (and collect his own "tax cut" check) or he'll take his business to another country.

Well, you're wrong on this point. If that were true, why did we invade contries in WWII that had not attacked us?

It's called "strategy". Iraq was a strategic objective in the war on terror.

I'm glad you aren't responsible for developing a war plan, we would have never won WWII, and there would certainly be no hope in winning a war on terror.

A lot of business will be leaving the country, as the U.S. already has the highest Capital Gains rate in the world, and Obama has promised to raise it.

Also, look for downsizing and huge job layoffs, as companies work to reduce their costs.

This is not going to be the victory that these idiots that voted for this guy think it's going to be. He is going to do exactly what he said he was going to do. And we are going to be more bankrupt than we are already.

Now you know it feels like when all you idiots crying now voted Bush in twice. Go floss yourselves.
I didn't vote for Bush or Barak. I usually pick whoever has better policies. And I sure would've liked to see the child tax credit rise from $3,500 to $7,000. But too late for that! Oh well!

I'm glad that you and the people you support will not be making the decisions after Jan 20.

You send your own countrymen, happily, to die for a war that was never needed nor justified.

All it did was cause us to take our eye off the ball in Afghanistan and tick the world off at us.

And we see how that worked out.

I wonder, if, since McCain told us he knows "how to get Bin Laden" if he will share that "info" with the new administration.

Oh wait. I forgot that this claim has to be true first. Liar John, you're a liar. You told Americans you could get Bin laden, for votes. If you know how to get him John, why aren't you telling us? Liar.

Yes, now that would have been helpful to our country. No child tax credit now .

Maybe because they actually never end up paying hardly any taxes due to loopholes like offshore accounts.

You can't rob us and then call us robbers.

Wake up.

Because unlike the 9/11 attacks whcih were NOT made by a nation/state, the countries we invaded in WW II either attacked us or were allied with one that did.

I call it misleadership and utter FAILURE to go after the real enemy.

And YOU would've done what? Watched the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor and suggest we invade Mexico in retaliation?
