Certainly it is aggravating, I read volumes of stuff that make me dizzy with befuddlement. Even still, there are also some very thoughtful and meaningful posts, topics, and discussions among the craziness. The more we feed into that which drives us nuts, the longer it will persist. As cliche as the saying goes, I know of no better quote than be the change we wish to see. Another might be, "Never argue with a fool as a stranger may happen by and not know the difference."

Deficit spending is one of those issues/topics on this board.

Bush is not a part of this thread.
Bush ran a deficit too, were you just as angry then as now, or, is it because America has it's first black president which you despise? And, speaking of nasty threads, I know someone, I won't mention the poster, who has many. So, there you go.

Most Republicans sang songs and cheered when Bush decided to bomb Iraq and spend as much as he did. It was "Gods plan", you know?

But when a Democratic president does it, the tune changes.

I doubt Sanrene was this upset when Bush did it.

Of course, I wouldn't expect an obamaphyte to think that way. As I said, their responses are virtually the same and universally applied, regardless of the topic.

It's just no big deal - sums up nicely the canned responses.
Thanks for the insult but I'm not excatly sure what an "obamaphyte" is..You're providing the easiest example of what is so frustrating. There are a few topics that are in fact serious and debatable but when topics like spending are debated, it ultimately turns into an Obama bash thread not how and where should we spend our money and who is responsible, Congress the WH etc..It's always "all roads lead to Obama". A WH staffer makes a comment that a "certain sector" of society can't understand and people attribute that to Obama and on and on.

Why try and hide your disdain for the President? It's quite evident. I would suggest a sticky thread be created as a repository for all Obama bash comments. It would probably clean up the forum of the abundance of trash and offer those likeminded individuals who hate Obama to have a constant release and allow the rest of us to be free of their nonsense.
Oh for Gods sake, attack on Obama, nowhere is the attact on Obama anywhere near what it is on Palin, Beck, the conservatives overall, the right wing reliegions, etc. Read these boards completely and then come back and say this!!!!

Sure, there are attacks on him, that is what these boards are all about and yes, they can get pretty personel from time to time, but certainly he doesn't get the same crap as the other side!!!!

Sorry, I've read enough and there are few threads (today) created by "liberals" about Palin and virtually none about Beck (he's a comedian anyway)..Conservatives bring up/start threads about conservative comedians like Rush and Beck and try to pass them off as impartial journalists. I guess it shows that the republicans have no real politicians worth discussing when the only ones discussed are comedians/commentators or failed ex-short term Governors.

Obama deserves what he is getting. His actions bring on the responses he gets. It all started with bringing in sleaze into the white house like Geitner. He has surrounded himself with the same DC crowd that so many non-sheep hate. His is the epitomy of the corrupt DC crowd with a twist of Chicago corruption to add.

We will continue to get these Bozos year after year until the people wake up.

Sorry but it is the hypocrisy of the left that is so amusing. When Bush does it they want trials, tribunals. When Obama does it they applaud him for his wisdom. When the left refuses to even acknowledge this fact they lose all credibility. Just the facts!
