... but a little research doesn't hurt either. Try it sometime, it'll help you to have an actual argument and look less of an idiot.Quote:

Oh, you mean as in Fox News. Sorry, but I treat them as I do MSNBC; a mouthpiece for officials and followers of either Republican or Democrat parties, both of which have long since fallen out of favor with me. The country had been 'falling apart' for over fifteen years, but no one had been paying attention to that. Only when there is an election on is when the spotlight is shined on those problems and missteps, but only when the parties can use them for making political hay.Quote:
Just like what Im saying. Look around, watch the news. This country is falling apart and Obama will and is making it worse.
... especially when everyone chooses to 'follow the rules'.Quote:
@DaveB,... You are wrong, Democracy and Capitalism, although not perfect, are the best systems to live under.
Problem is, since '98 that has not been the case. From the NAFTA agreement; to the debacles that were Enron, WorldCom, and others that chose to play 'fast & loose' with the Ledgers and finance reports; the Derivitives scandal that not only gave us a preview of things to come on Wall Street, that brought down one of the greatest supporters of the Free market, then- Fed Chairman Allan Greenspan, in an sad performance before a Congressional hearing; the rise and 'atta boy' of Bernie Madoff at a function, with the SEC chair in attendance; the real estate bubble, which was increased by toxic mortgages that were later bundled and sold to Investment houses on Wall Street, only to destroy one (Lehman Bros.), screwed-up a second(AIG), endanger another (Merrill Lynch), and nearly made dominoes out of the rest. Leading to Bernanke's 'too big to fail' idea of giving money to the others; and, finally, there is the bailouts of the auto industry, to save it from the mess of massive firings and shuttering of production plants.
And all of this happened between the latter of Clinton's presidency and the whole of Bush's.
As it was said, it is the best system to live under, as long as everyone is following the rules. Otherwise, as we've seen in the past, it becomes harder for one president to overcome under one term.
what a troll lol... :p :dozey:Quote:

In short - the Republican party need a total overhaul. I don't know if they are capable of that. They are so entrenched in their own bullish!t they can't move. First of all the working middle class is really the heart and sole of this country. The repubs did not take care of them. Secondly the repubs need to take their hand off the Pussy. Women are a huge voting block now and the repubs just need to listen. The repubs need to quit bitching and bring out a great new plan embracing the middle class. The big corps and the wealthy rubbing their money in the middle class's face has led to class warfare. Danicafan I have been a repub most of my life. This party needs a complete overhaul. I think this election will serve notice and if not heeded the repubs may be out of office for many years. The slaughtering or the arrogant wealthy people and corporations is now underway. It is up to the party to get in line with the public. We can be fiscal conservatives without ramming Jesus Christ up the ass of all our women ! Running the Polygamy Party was obviously a huge mistake.
I still can't see what's so funny to keep lolling about, unless you are laughing at your own repetitive empty arguments, in which case please knock yourself out laughing.
I can't disagree with a word of this.Quote:

Time to change the Republican Party with its reactionary knee jerk response to everything or it will go down in flames. Please, no more tea parties, no more Trumps, no more Bachmans, no more Joe Arpaio's and the like. All of this only helped to define republicans as a fringe party. The republican party was outdated for the past 15 years. GWB won only by a razor thin miracle in 2000 and only because of post-9/11 patriotic response in 2004. After that, two crushing defeats. Time to take some lessons from this IMO.
