I thought republicans were powerless and destined for the wilderness.

Lest you forget - Dems have the WH, the house and a filibuster proof majority in the Senate - and you're still blaming Bush?

I think the "people" have had enough.

If 85% are satisfied with their HC, how will you convince them to take a chance on obamacare? Do you think demonizing them will do it?

I'm sure glad 0bama is president, he is sure to cancel that NSA program, get rid of those uncountable Czars, and cut the deficit and reduce the national debt, and not grow the power and scope of the executive branch.

Yeah, sixteen years of Clinton and Bush saw both presidents pouring billions into the Haliburton coffers, I'm so glad 0bama is no longer paying for their services.

Surprisingly, this led to growing unemployment and even more to no jobs remaining for working people except minimum wages with which they can not support their families.
Yup, 0bama won't put any Wall Street or big investment company executives on his staff or administration, and he definitely will not be giving away billions of dollars to big banks and investment companies. And 0bama will surely not raise taxes on US companies and corporations, like carbon taxes, that would provide them with huge 'incentives to move jobs previously held by U.S. citizens out of the country and into countries where people will basically work for food."

Yeah, you tell 'em. 0bama would never be foolish enough to put our country into debt or double the deficit.

They are spreading lies and propoganda to the gullible to convince these poor people to once again vote against and fight agains their own best interest.
I'm so glad 0bama would never stoop to such a thing, he has good men like David Axlerod to make certain that something like you describe would never happen with democrats.

But this 0bama care plan does nothing to lower the driving forces behind increased health care costs, all it does is kill private insurance and increase the national debt to pay for it all.

good thing 0bama is non-partisan and does not lable people as angry, bitter or clinging to their religion and guns, or admonish them if they choose to disagree with his policies.

Its a good thiung 0bama is race neutral, he would never inflame a non-racial issue into one focused on race and tell the American public that antone would be angry with the stupidity of the police.

No, they want people to actually believe that everything was hunky dory before the election and that it was only in the past 6 months that everything went to h*ll.

Are we going to let this cyncial, greedy bunch completely destroy this country?

How stupid do they think we are?

How stupid are we?
Its a good thing 0bama is in charge or we would be on the ropes, his stimulus plan will create 2-4 million jobs and keep unemployment below 8%.

I totally agree w/ your OP, & isn't it a BIG surprise that they can't do any better than to call you stupid,gullible,naive,communist, and all the rest of the childish insults & personal attacks? What childishness. No wonder they lost the election.

Youth is idealistic. The parties are together on globalist agenda which results in mass poverty for the people.
