The far right cant figure it out ?

and you would know that because you're gay?...

if someone passes legislation that targets my demographic food and job will not be my priority in an election because those circumstances will not change, but persecution/discrimination is immediate....

 

Anyone is better than imam Obama. At least in Romney we'd have someone who likes this country rather than the muslim hoards.

 

Too bad for you guys that Bush isn't running again. People have a very, "what have you done for me lately," attitude when they go to vote. They are going to see that Obama has put us 5 trillion in debt, broken one campaign promise after another, and hardly made a dent in unemployment or the economy. If you choose to believe that people are going to blame all this on Bush and give Obama a pass your in for quite a surprise.

Need I remind you what they thought in the midterm elections or do you liberals try and forget that pounding you got. Democrats have done nothing different to change people's perception that they are doing a good job.

They will be swept out again just like they were in 2010.

 

Poor angry wyly. Liberals decimated. Harper, Conservatives and Canada recognized the stink and fixed it...and the world has noticed.

Liberal tears. Man...there is nothing sweeter.

 

the modern democrat and republican parties, the corporatist tag team, crushing the life out of the citizens for the benefit of the big wall street banks.

 

You mean like when the Democrats blocked regulation of derivatives?

 

There is no such thing as treason or sedition against America any more. As the noted leftist historian Howard Zinn said before his death: "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism."

 

We aren't in this together. There is nothing wrong with hoping for the destruction of one's enemies...speaking figuratively of course.

 

Screw America. The only thing that matters is preventing you from imposing your agenda on us.

 

So now you think that duly constituted elections are treason? Mang, are you messed up or what!

 

no. taking steps to ensure the failure of the nation during a president's tenure for the purpose of derailing his reelection chances is, imo.

 

If that's your opinion it's a dammmmm good thing you're not calling the shots. What you see happening must be terribly frustrating.

 

the party over country mentality of the republican party has always been both frustrating and saddening to me. What lifts me spirits are clear indications from a variety of polling sources showing that Americans outside of the GOP base are not buying their schtick this year.

I watch the hard right GOP base members on here whip themselves up into an enthusiastic lather just KNOWING - like they think they know - that Obama is going down to defeat, and they seem almost blissfully, purposely ignorant of the difference of opinion between them and the middle of the bell curve.

 

Your struggle is not with Republicans. It's with the forces of history. The smart money is on history.

This cohort of Americans is like a mindless beast who simply reacts to pain. It bounces back and forth from side to side in an attempt to avoid agony. I have little respect for herd animals.

 

If a President and his cohorts are passing horrible legislation then there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying your gonna try and stop it and make sure he's a one term president. This is why we have more than one party in Congress.

 

except when the act of "stopping it" also causes total governmental gridlock which is detrimental to the economic well being and international reputation of the nation itself.

 

It is preferable to the effects of the passed legislation. You will notice how the democrats vote in unity to block all the republican sponsored bills also so you must be honest and assess the blame to both sides.

 

preferable to whom?

And the party of the president traditionally is the party that sets the national agenda. It's why we elected him.

 

What do you mean WILL????? It IS happening and he has no proposals to turn it around.

 

That has to be about the lamest defense of Obama one can make. Is that really all you have left?

 

Stopping what? They haven't passed a budget in over 100 days. They have made NO significant proposals to turn the economy around. He got his stimulus it failed. He got his Obamacare, now we see we can't afford it and it is probably unconstitutional to begin with. He's been spending our tax money on failed companies right and left. He is causing an early spike in gas prices while turning down the pipeline that will keep prices in check and create 20,000 jobs.

We can't afford four more years of his failed policies regardless of what his opposition thinks about them.

 

Because the democrats set the national agenda has nothing to do with voting no on every single piece of republican legislation. Last time I checked, the democrats are not addressing many of the issues such as entitlements that the republicans are trying to bring to the senate floor. Senator Reid will not even bring them up for a vote. Now tell me who is blocking progress?

 

The house has passed a budget, but the Senate has not passed one for over a 1000 days.

 

Democrats do not want to limit their spending.

 

That should read 1000 days, don't see an edit button.
