how's the Rinos like Arlen, Snowe and Graham working out for you? Oh wait, Christine O'Donnel kick Rino Mike Castle's ass in Delware, Same result with RINOs in Alaska, and coming soon Florida- Marco Rubio hint you leftists can't use the race card becuase Tea Party GOP Marco Rubio is Hispanic while RINO turned coat Charlie Crist is white
I have a theory that Arlen Specter switched parties because the democrats have shifted to the right, not because Specter's views or agenda has changed. I'm not excited about the midterm elections because both parties are full of right-wing corporate tools.
@padude64 That Bachman is a first rate Air/Bubble Head, one dizzy woman. How does someone like her or congresman Dolittle get elected? The GOP has been undergoing a brain drain and were seeing the C listers take the leadership positions.
Fucking nazi right wingers: EAT SHIT! Go blow Beck and Limburger. At least Bush has the sense to keep his dumb ass hidden. RepubliCONS and republiCUNTS rejoice not -- eventually your lies and distortions will be exposed. GLAD the health care bill passed without any republiCAN'T votes. That way they can't take any credit for it. Cheney, Rove, Hannity, Beck -- you are flabby assed BITCHES! Take donkey dick up your holes and squeal like pigs. Palin is a stupid cuntess. F. y'all!
I'd say the pendulum is definitely swinging in the other direction. The only question now is how far it will swing. There sure seems to be a lot of people pushing it back the other direction.
But it's no time to let your guard down.
Restoring this nation to an individualist frame of constitutional government is not going to be easy.
The progressives on the right are smacking their chops for an chance to be back in power.
The Scott Brown win, the death of Obamacare, the roll-back of McCain-Feingold, the quick and quiet death of Air America--all in one week. If, as you say, the Republicans got spanked last April, Democrats just got gang-raped.
OMENTUM. That coming from the schooling Obama gave the GOP in Baltimore January 29 and, Hew Hampshire Feb 02. Everybody is jumping on the Scott Brown and, I can assure you, judging from Scott working with the Dems in Massachusetts. He won;t be a party of No. As far as Health Care. It will pass. Congress does not need 60 votes like people think. Personally, I hope they amend that law so that only 54 Votes are needed. I've always thought 60 was too much.
Stated like a true Communist William H ! You people just slober over the prospect of changing the rules of government that have been held sacred since the birth of our nation. And you can keep dreaming about your little orgy with the public option. It's as dead now as the Democrats are going to be this November. The libs are scared shitless, and the ones who might still have a tiny chance of keeping their seats won't risk voting for this disastrous bill. So wish on hippie!!
@brandnutopian ......Only for now, but let's see how the arrogance of your liberal Marxist party pays off in November. The streets will be awash with the crying and bitching of the likes of the "REGIME". Ivory towers always tumble into the sand. Liberalism sucks dick!!!! The very thought of such leftist views should make any reasonable person vomit.
@Lex5576 Because reasonable people equate political philosophy with the act of fellatio?
Anyone driven solely by the vitriol and hyperbole of the right wing propaganda and without even an understanding of the history and core principals of traditional American concepts of secularism, liberty, freedom of speech, is bound to be 'OUTRAAAAAAAGED!' like yourself. You and your party are fast becoming a relic of political history, not unlike the Whigs.
@brandnutopian You say we don't have an "understanding of the history and core principals of traditional American concepts of secularism, liberty, freedom of speech?" Take a look at the conduct of your own party pal!! They clearly pissed in the face of the vast majority of all Americans. They proudly boast the fact that they don't give a flying fuck about the will of the majority. What does that say for our future...Liberals and Conservatives?
Actually, after watching all the news today. The GOP are imploding. I hope Obama continues to have these televised. This last week, no shit, I heard some people in a coffee shop say their switching from Republican to Democrat. Outstanding.
We are doing fine. Thanks for asking. I'm elated Obama schooled the GOP on live, unscripted, national T.V. at there Retreat in Baltimore on January 29. Come to find out. Ameeting the GOP did not want televised. Then yesterday, Feb 02, he exposed seven (7) Republicans some more in New Hampshire. I'm glad Barack Cool is now playing hard ball. That Party of No attitude is over. Like Obama said. He will now use his Veto Power so when the GOP wants something and, they will Veto their ass.
@castroy64 Working fine. Health Care passed. Virginia's Cuccinelli is imploding.
Scott Brown will soon be (re)exposed as the pretty little bitch he is. There may be some more losses in November thanks to all the lies and distortions, but once people see what a bunch of nothing the Repubs have to offer...
Oh what a difference a year makes....especially when that year is fraught with a marxist agenda......tidal wave coming, asshole......expect a 3 digit shift.....that's 100+ seats going GOP......
You really should remove this video after Tuesday night's election in Mass. Obama is a fatally flawed candidate. He is a Marxist and will destroy the Democratic party unless he can move to the center like Clinton did after the big congressional losses in 94'.
I don't think he can do this. I believe he will take the whole party down in 2010 and 2012.
People are now understanding that Democrats are not good for this country. If you want a job, as I do, don't vote for Democrats who have killed this economy. They have failed. Monumentally.
Absolutely! Republicans are back and this time they need to adhere to conservatisim and not make idiotic mistakes like the socialist liberals are now doing. Woo Hoo Massachusetts!
Correct democrats are the tone deaf ones they dont give a shit what america wants they pass what they want to pass regardless of the numbers opposing it the dems forget its going to apply to them to the jail time if the cant afford it, bunch of fools
As a Conservative, I am more than happy the neocon left leaning GOP is collapsing so real Conservatives can rebuild the party. Successfully it is happening right now so, the idea that it's collapsing right now would be just another leftist lie.
What does i matter with a 60 seat in the Senate, when the 60 senators do not understand that they need to work together and abandon the lobbyists position. 60 seats in the senate should allow the Democrats to pass sweeping legislation, but try telling that to the democrats in the Senate.
Nonsense. The reason Republicans dominate southern politics is entirely based on racism. In the 60's/70's/80's southern conservatives left the Democrat party in droves as they realized they would find a much more comfortable home in the Republican Party. The correct delineation is not Dem vs Rep, its is conservative vs liberal and more than a few young American liberals lost their lives for their avid support of full equality. History be a bitch, eh Swede?
You do realize that I'm not arguing against that, right? You asked for one Republican who was more outspoken and against Black People. you got it. You can But but until your lip falls off, but that is all you asked fro and you got it... He's a proud republican now and he has a bunch of friends, I'm sure you caught their nadir this weekend.
Yup the democrats were on the wrong side of history; does that concession change one thing about the future? Nope.
The Challenge was to " name one Republican ... on public record against blacks at the same level as Robert Byrd. "
Mission Accomplished. You can't change the goals after the game has started.
How about this, let's all put our heads together and think of a politician who isn't a flawed person who has made mistakes in the past.
Knowing that let's admit that there is no such person and just measure them on their contemporary actions; we're supposed to believe in redemption, right?
David Duke ran for President as a Democrat in 1988. You can thank Phil Donahue for making him famous. He's a no-body compared to Robert Byrd. (Old White Sheets)
That kinda proves the point about the south, doesn't it? Eitehr way, saying "He ran as a Democrat in XX year" doesn't change the point, a former Grand Wizard certain Trumps a Sheet Wearing Ninny who has since rescinded his stance. David Duke (currently a Republican who advised Bobby Jindal - Indian) has not. I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times... and I don't mind apologizing over and over again. I can't erase what happened. -- R. Byrd
Swede612; "Only 1 Dixiecrat left the Democratic party. The Army of Dixiecrats stayed in the Democratic party until the 1990's. Including Robert Byrd!"
The Dixiecrats became a separate party when they walked out on the 1948 Democratic convention because Harry Truman called for integration of the party.
Over time, the South abandoned the Dems and became Repubs. The CRA was the most potent driver of this movement. Dixecrats were DIFFERENT from the rest of the Democrats, and proud of it.
Swede612; "Republicans have a solid pro-civil rights voting record in the National Archives"
A favorite Right-Wing chestnut. The Democrats who opposed the bill were all SOUTHERN Democrats, many of whom left the party to become Republicans after the passage of the Civil Rights Act.
The Civil Rights act was introduced to Congress by JFK, and, after his assassination, pushed forward by Lyndon Johnson, both Democrats.
Chuck Baldwin said it best: "There are globalists and then there are Americans." Any globalists that remain in the GOP truly must be shown the door. Purge the GOP of RINOs!!
If I remember correctly, it was only four years ago the dems lost big the presidency, house and senate seats. The republicans controlled all branches of government then. No one in the media said the dems are over and on the verge of collapse. They are only quick to declare the republicans dead when they lose.
Don't be too cocky, the majority of Americans are conservative and with Obama's borrow, tax and spend policies I see the future of the GOP being bright :)
No my misguided friend, the Dems are not gloating it's simple give the GOP enough rope (power) and they invariably hang themselves.
Make no mistake your hypocritical, coward, pussy, lying party is headed for ruins. Don't take it personal this always happens to self absorbed, greedy, stupid, hypocritical, fear mongering, shit throwing, sack sucking pieces of shit. It sure is fun watching the stupid asses self destruct.
Torture? Try thinking about those hundreds who jumped from the WTC Towers on 911 to escape the white heat of their burning offices. Their deaths were caused by animals who screamed "ALLAH AKBAR!" before they ramed their hijacked jets into those beautiful towers.
Yes, and had Bill Clinton captured Osama Bin Laden the three times our CIA had the chances in to grab him in1997 and 1998 and then ignore for "legal reasons" the government of the Sudan handing Bin Laden to us on a silver platter in the late '90's perhaps 911 would never had happened.
From Ali Soufan's testimony before Congress last week: "I personally interrogated many terrorists we have in our custody and elsewhere, and gained confessions, identified terror operatives, their funding, details of potential plots, and information on how al Qaeda operates, along with other actionable intelligence." (cont.)
"Because of these successes, I was the governments main witness in both of the trials we have had so far in Guantanamo Bay the trial of Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a driver and bodyguard for Osama Bin Laden, and Ali Hamza Al Bahlul, Bin Ladens propagandist. In addition I am currently helping the prosecution prepare for upcoming trials of other detainees held in Guantanamo Bay." - Ali Soufan
Ali Soufan testimony continued: "These techniques, from an operational perspective, are ineffective, slow and unreliable, and as a result harmful to our efforts to defeat al Qaeda. This is aside from the important additional considerations that they are un-American and harmful to our reputation and cause."
"And my focus is on the future. I wish to do my part to ensure that we never again use these harmful, slow, ineffective, and unreliable techniques instead of the tried, tested, and successful ones the ones that are also in sync with our values and moral character. Only by doing this will we defeat the terrorists as effectively and quickly as possible." - Ali Soufan
Liberals, I humbly as you to please stop labeling people to silence them. This tactic is geeting very old and everyone knows your just dodging the question or trying to avert the attention away from you.
you mean the way limbaugh said for mccain and powell to get out of their party?? or the way steele said their own party didnt like romneys''mormonism'' yes the liberals are labeling people lmao give me a freaking break!!
Liberalism as well as conservatism are both radical ideologies that neither uphold the constitution or stand by it's founding priciples. They want to mold it into a document meant to control people, not defend them. Both use the media to brainwash our children until they end up drawing a line in the sand that could tear the country apart. Liberals you are no different than what you say you hate. I hope one day both sides will look at themselves in the mirror. for the sake of our children.
I don't donate to ANY organizations. I make a difference by randomly taking my neighbors garbage out or helping her with her groceries. Sometimes I'll even bring home diapers for her as she has 5 children. This is how real difference is made.
Yes your very correct moderates do leave. But don't think for a second they are joining the democratic party. WE are joining independent parties such as the Libertarian party. Most of us in the middle who have views that exsist on both party sides are just tossed aside like we don't mean anything and the truth is we take what's good from your parties and flush out all the trash. So really we are the party that puts family first and political ideology or religious ideology second.
Republicans are a bunch of ignorant malcontents, who can be worked into a frenzy about anything. They simply can't live with the reality that they lost the election so badly. Their desperation has lead them to look increasingly insane. Their divorce from reality and retreat into the political nether land of subjective hate and fear, runs counter to the direction of the consciousness of our country. These Palinesque optics will lead them to a major defeat in 2010 and 2012. Life is beautiful.
What about the international civil rights of Western hostages who radical Muslim's capture and slowly cut their heads off using a dull knife and then hold up the severed heads and scream "Allah Akbar!" for the video cameras to be shown later on TV all over the Islamic world? Go lecture them about brutality and if you survive send me a message. Also, next time you see pictures of the WTC towers collapasing on 911 think about the animals who caused that catastrophe and why.
What are you talking about? 911 was an attack by radical islam, a cult that has been at war with all "infidels" since the time of Mohammed who himself was a warlord. We do not "pick up' innocent people off the streets in Afghanaistan and send them off to GITMOP. Every man there is a terrorist with a record of planning or directly involved in 911 or other terrorist acts. The next attack on the USA will be 100% in the lap of Obama and Liberals.
BALONEY!... Islam is on a modern Jihad once more (as they have thries so often in the past 1,400 years) to try and force the world to convert to Islam. Today they are armed with 21st century weapons financed by vast Middle Eastern oil fortunes to advance their 8th century retro cult AND they have IDIOTIC Western Liberals as their allies.
I am not sure how the right "overplay" their hand during war. War is about the survival of the nation and culture and freedom. I would order the brains slowly squeezed out of terrorist's heads if it meant that the information we got from them saved lives. FDR was a liberal yet he OKed the carpet bombing of German cities by the USA Army Air Force that along with the RAF killed almost one million German civilians in WW II. War is hell. Tell the thugs to stop starting them.
"Historically speaking -- the Democratic party has more to be embarassed of -- including the 1924 Democratic Convention. The Largest KKK rally in US History!"
YES. The Dems' past IS SHAMEFUL. They deserve what you say.
Those are DEAD dems.
How many Dems will you find TODAY to support the Dems from back then?
Not many, I venture.
How many MORE Republican supporters of TODAY do you think would support the Democratic policies of back then?
Arguing over the party labels actually doesn't justify this argument. It is really a regional argument. It was the Southern dems in 1924, along with some west & mountain folks who were all KKK. The DNC in the northeast & midwest opposed all that KKK stuff. Hence, when the Dems in the '60's passed the civil rights act, that's when the South, especially, started going Republican, as it is now. It's not about party beliefs, it's about their own beliefs about civil rights.
Yes. The GOP was founded as the anti slavery party in 1854. Black males when given the right to vote after the Civil War voted GOP until FDR promised Blacks the welfare state in 1932. The NAACP was founded by Black Republicans. President Woodrow Wilson loathed Blacks and he segrated all goverment offices in Washington after he became President. Wilson and Truman were also former KKK members.
Yes, many past Republican achievements WERE outstanding.
BUT LOOK AT THE PRESENT. :-O :(
The Grand Old Party is old indeed - but it is grand no more.
And if it doesn't get its act together, it may not even be a party in some time.
I hope (for the reasons gsmartremarks clairvoyantly cites in this vid) that it WILL continue to be a party - or that another party (or partieS - yes, plural) will replace it.
Labeling republican moderates as "RINO & liberals" is a great way to turn a big tent into a little hat. It's working like a charm.
If American can just cut off it's nose to spite it's face, and have the democratically elected US leader fail the country, then everyone will see that businessman Rush is right and he'll be hand$omely compen$ated by the people to whom he has the most loyalty:......his corporate spon$ors.
John 8:7 (King James Version) 7So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Are you without sin? When you call for the first stone to be thrown, can you say to Man and God you are without sin?
Sarah Palin will resurrect, revive, renew and revitalize the GOP by 2010. She will lead the new GOP and see it grow to larger numbers than the DEMS. They will retake Congress in 2010 with a filibuster majority and will retake the presidency with Sarah Palin. America will return to its true conservative roots as it fatigues from Liberalism and Progressivism run amok. She will drive the DEMS into EXTINCTION by 2020.
Excuse me for being partisan (though technically I am not a member of any party)
When the GOP was still strong and were thinking the Dems would be a permanent minority, they had no problem. In fact, anytime the Dems opposed anything the GOP wanted they were called traitors or worse.
So far while Dems have said it's good they have a majority, it's still important there be a proper opposition to check powers.
Though too often slight, there are differences between parties.
Obama has been in office for just over 100 days. Israel is ready to attack Iran's nuclear bomb factories and when that happens all hell will break out in the Middle East. Meanwhile Obama is trying to cripple the CIA's spying ability to protect us from those folks of the "religion of peace" who want to kill all "infidels". Let's see what Obama's record is two years from now before we announce the "death" of the GOP.
Obama is responsible for stuff that was already in the works before he ever got elected from the previous administration AND the GOP's future rests on Obama failing.
Seems you pretty much proved this video's point.
Oh and the terrorists wanting to destroy America LOVE when Americans torture. What better way to turn people against the US and have the CIA waste time chasing false leads?
All the useful info the CIA got was before torture was used.
Excuse me. Do you ever read what Osama Bin Laden and the other Muslim terrorist's write and how they promise in the name of Allah to kill all "infidels" and destroy Western Civilization? As far as "torture" we do not yet know all the terrorist attempts that were stopped because of the info the CIA got from these monsters after 911.
Yes I do read what Islamic terrorist's write. Because we dare to exist as Jews and Christians and other "infidels" we "deserve" to die. That is what the Koran teaches all Muslims. Islam recognizes one thing: ruthless power and violence to convert the world to Islam. Islam loaths weakness.
I thought liberals wanted separation of church and state. Since when is Jesus in charge of protetcting us against Muslim Jihadist's who use the Koran and the example of Mohammed to kill all Jews and Christians and other "infidels"? I think Jesus would allow any steps it took to save innocent's from being mass murdered by Islamic thugs.
I am a Christian Anarchist, "liberal" is hardly the word for me. And your Views on Jesus allowing torture is dead wrong. Let me uphold that truth with the words of Jesus himself.
Remember the answer Jesus gave when asked about the Romans who ruled his homeland? He said: "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's". He came to save soukls not the world. I am not a church goer but from what I have read in the New Testament Jesus had friends from all classes and he respected women and had them as close friends. Mohammed hated women as is reflected in the Koran and the Hadith and the miserable treatment of women in the Islamic world.
9Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
1 Thessalonians 5:15 (King James Version) See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
Romans 12:17-21 (King James Version) 17Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Jesus didn't save Western Civilization and our freedoms from the Nazi's, Imperial Japan and Soviet Communism. Guns and the threat of nuclear war did. God wants us to be strong enough to protect the weak nations and ourselves from tyrants.
This is the question friend, are you willing to forsake your country in the name of the utmost highest God?
Jesus told us to turn the other cheek and that he who lives by the sword dies by the sword. Wars are descended from past wars and evils are descended from past evils.
Are you willing to say you worship God, love and life first or will you say what God wants is less impotent then what our political goals are?
Matthew 25:40 (King James Version) 40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Every time you hurt a man, you are hurting the image of God, when you torture a man, you are torturing the Body of Jesus.
There's nothing at all that's too right wing or too extremist about the Republican party. Keep up the good work! Just promise me you'll continue to purge the party of the ideologically impure, spineless moderates, and above all, PLEASE promise me you'll nominate Palin in 2012.
They should keep up the good work and hold their ground. By 2010 they'll have the absolute majority in the House and Senate. In 2012 the Palin/Bachmann administration will contnue the work of God himself.
holy crap you people scare me. give me anarchy before you give me a theocracy. soldiers of god do not belong in government positions, they belong in church. ever hear of "seperation of church and state"? there is a reason for it.
"Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God."
I have proven that governments & God are insperable. Therefore, a theocracy is the only way to go, as was desired by the founding fathers when they based our great land on judeo-christian principles.
Why do you hate God so much, when all he feels for you is endless love?
rhabdoviridae-" have proven that governments & God are insperable. "
I presume you are being sarcastic since all you proved was that governments often use religion to justify thier hold on power and that too few peopel have ever read the constitution.
"Why do you hate God so much, when all he feels for you is endless love?
i don't hate god. i like the example jesus set but that does not make him any more real. i also like the example professor x sets but that also doesn't make him any more real. i don't worry about burning forever much like i don't worry that dr. doom is going to take over the world. it just doesn't seem like a plausible threat to me. however someone who believes in god starting a theocracy that is a credible threat.
america was founded on freedom of religion and freedom from religion.
You can walk on the train tracks believing the oncoming train is no threat, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous. By refusing to believe in the one true Lord, Jesus Christ, who bled for you personally, you run the risk of being hit by the eternal train to Hell. You will burn because He hates sin, but loves you.
Don't you understand?
Fall to your knees today, rend your garments, and sob out to Him to save you.
He will take your pain & grant you access to Heaven.
i understand that you believe in this god of yours, but i will not partake in your delusion. i understand that you believe you are helping me. do yourself a big favor and keep your invisible friends to yourself. you just look crazy and less respectable when you talk about your sky daddy to me.
nominate palin? this lady thinks dinosaurs lived 4000 years ago side by side with humans. she was praying to help defend against attacks by a evil spirit. i don't want her in charge of a hospital let alone a country.
Ahem, the protect marriage policy. For a libertarian/austrian/conservative person with degrees in "I don't give a shit", you sure are professional in blind support for a dying political ideology (It is the ideology of the old times).
Oh, and just out of curiosity, if the government is to blame for the crisis for over regulation (Because you've said that often), explain why the Canadian economy and why it isn't screwed.
the attempt to ban legal abortions. (even though it won't stop abortions and will only increase the amount of women who die in "back alley" procedures).
The republican party only wants to take care of the rich. Tax breaks for the wealthy and crumbs from the table for working people. The GOP is falling a part and people dont even want to be identified as republicans. Specter too, are leaving the party and I cant say I blame them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@ Ohio Democrat
The bottom 38% pay zero income taxes, it is impossible to give them an income tax break. The top 20% pay 80% of all the taxes, you can ONLY give them the tax cuts.
To call cutting taxes for them "Right Wing" would make JFK a hard line Right Winger.
Since we don't believe in the magical powers of the Laffer Curve, we can't, by definition, be morons. Don't take my word for it. Look it up in the Dictionary of Abnormal Psychology.
You wanted, ONE policy by the Republicans that is too Right Wing?
I said, Tax breaks for the wealthy. And you went on with some unbelievable rant and never did answer my question. Why should they (wealthy people) pay less taxes than I do?
I wont stoop to your level with name calling. To me it just show how small you mind really is.
Yeah, that whole money left over based on percentages sure doesn't equate that they pay less taxes. Nobody cares about gross amounts collected by the wealthy, we care about percentages (And no, total percentages collected doesn't mean anything).
But rich people do pay less in taxes than I do. They avoid it through deductions and loopholes that average working people dont get or take, because we cant afford the best CPA and tax advisors. The wealthy take full advantage of them due to their wealth. Perhaps a clearer way to put it so even you can understand it, I pay more percentage wise in taxes than the wealth person.
For starters, there was that coup attempt on Clinton because of a blow job. Then there was Bush-Cheney fabricating the nuclear weapons threat in order to justify the Iraq War. Then there was the failed ploy to "privatize Social Security". Just think what that would have accomplished given the current economic mess. Gosh, you're right. It's not possible to name ONE extreme policy. I named THREE without even scratching the surface.
A blow job isn't sex, it's foreplay. Death for a blow job? Let's bring on the Taliban! Bush-Cheney DID lie on Iraq. They knew full well that Saddam had no nuke program yet Bush proclaimed it in his State of the Union, and his thugs proceeded to "out" CIA agent Plame because her husband had the guts to blow the whistle on them. Treason and laying groundwork for 4.000+ troops and countless civilians dead for a LIE is a much more serious crime than a blow job. Selective memory doesn't cut it.
A proposal for a freeze on all government spending ( except military and medicare etc..) was proposed by the Republicans. Not a bright idea when everyone in the private sector is afraid to spend. Pres. Hoover had a similar proposal in 1930.

The GOP will be resurrected, revived and will retake Congress in 2010 and with Sarah Palin leading the helm, be elected President in an overwhelming landslide in 2012. Palin will be a 2 term EPIC SUCCESS and will save this country's economy with Palinomics.
Give one example of how the GOP is "fanatical": Abortion? Against Gay marriage? (the majority of the people in Democratic CA voted NO to gay "marriage" last November) Supporting the same universal values our grandparents believed in that got us through terrible times like the great depression and WW II? YES! treal fanatcism is the Obama cult where the media sees him as an American Fuhrer who can do no wrong.
Republicans and Democrats are so corrupt...

I'd say the pendulum is definitely swinging in the other direction. The only question now is how far it will swing. There sure seems to be a lot of people pushing it back the other direction.
But it's no time to let your guard down.
Restoring this nation to an individualist frame of constitutional government is not going to be easy.
The progressives on the right are smacking their chops for an chance to be back in power.

The Scott Brown win, the death of Obamacare, the roll-back of McCain-Feingold, the quick and quiet death of Air America--all in one week. If, as you say, the Republicans got spanked last April, Democrats just got gang-raped.

OMENTUM. That coming from the schooling Obama gave the GOP in Baltimore January 29 and, Hew Hampshire Feb 02. Everybody is jumping on the Scott Brown and, I can assure you, judging from Scott working with the Dems in Massachusetts. He won;t be a party of No. As far as Health Care. It will pass. Congress does not need 60 votes like people think. Personally, I hope they amend that law so that only 54 Votes are needed. I've always thought 60 was too much.

Nonsense. The reason Republicans dominate southern politics is entirely based on racism. In the 60's/70's/80's southern conservatives left the Democrat party in droves as they realized they would find a much more comfortable home in the Republican Party. The correct delineation is not Dem vs Rep, its is conservative vs liberal and more than a few young American liberals lost their lives for their avid support of full equality.

Over time, the South abandoned the Dems and became Repubs. The CRA was the most potent driver of this movement. Dixecrats were DIFFERENT from the rest of the Democrats, and proud of it.

Arguing over the party labels actually doesn't justify this argument. It is really a regional argument. It was the Southern dems in 1924, along with some west & mountain folks who were all KKK. The DNC in the northeast & midwest opposed all that KKK stuff. Hence, when the Dems in the '60's passed the civil rights act, that's when the South, especially, started going Republican, as it is now. It's not about party beliefs, it's about their own beliefs about civil rights.

I am not a church goer but from what I have read in the New Testament Jesus had friends from all classes and he respected women and had them as close friends. Mohammed hated women as is reflected in the Koran and the Hadith and the miserable treatment of women in the Islamic world.

9Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
1 Thessalonians 5:15 (King James Version) See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
Romans 12:17-21 (King James Version) 17Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Jesus didn't save Western Civilization and our freedoms from the Nazi's, Imperial Japan and Soviet Communism. Guns and the threat of nuclear war did. God wants us to be strong enough to protect the weak nations and ourselves from tyrants.

This is the question friend, are you willing to forsake your country in the name of the utmost highest God?
Jesus told us to turn the other cheek and that he who lives by the sword dies by the sword. Wars are descended from past wars and evils are descended from past evils.
Are you willing to say you worship God, love and life first or will you say what God wants is less impotent then what our political goals are?

There's nothing at all that's too right wing or too extremist about the Republican party. Keep up the good work! Just promise me you'll continue to purge the party of the ideologically impure, spineless moderates, and above all, PLEASE promise me you'll nominate Palin in 2012.

I second that.
They should keep up the good work and hold their ground. By 2010 they'll have the absolute majority in the House and Senate. In 2012 the Palin/Bachmann administration will contnue the work of God himself.

Romans 13:1
"Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God."
I have proven that governments & God are insperable. Therefore, a theocracy is the only way to go, as was desired by the founding fathers when they based our great land on judeo-christian principles.
Why do you hate God so much, when all he feels for you is endless love?
Repent or burn forever.

I presume you are being sarcastic since all you proved was that governments often use religion to justify thier hold on power and that too few peopel have ever read the constitution.
"Why do you hate God so much, when all he feels for you is endless love?

i don't hate god. i like the example jesus set but that does not make him any more real. i also like the example professor x sets but that also doesn't make him any more real. i don't worry about burning forever much like i don't worry that dr. doom is going to take over the world. it just doesn't seem like a plausible threat to me. however someone who believes in god starting a theocracy that is a credible threat.
america was founded on freedom of religion and freedom from religion.

You can walk on the train tracks believing the oncoming train is no threat, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous. By refusing to believe in the one true Lord, Jesus Christ, who bled for you personally, you run the risk of being hit by the eternal train to Hell. You will burn because He hates sin, but loves you.
Don't you understand?
Fall to your knees today, rend your garments, and sob out to Him to save you.
He will take your pain & grant you access to Heaven.
Praise Him!

Ahem, the protect marriage policy. For a libertarian/austrian/conservative person with degrees in "I don't give a shit", you sure are professional in blind support for a dying political ideology (It is the ideology of the old times).
Oh, and just out of curiosity, if the government is to blame for the crisis for over regulation (Because you've said that often), explain why the Canadian economy and why it isn't screwed.

@ Ohio Democrat
The bottom 38% pay zero income taxes, it is impossible to give them an income tax break. The top 20% pay 80% of all the taxes, you can ONLY give them the tax cuts.
To call cutting taxes for them "Right Wing" would make JFK a hard line Right Winger.

Yeah, that whole money left over based on percentages sure doesn't equate that they pay less taxes. Nobody cares about gross amounts collected by the wealthy, we care about percentages (And no, total percentages collected doesn't mean anything).

But rich people do pay less in taxes than I do. They avoid it through deductions and loopholes that average working people dont get or take, because we cant afford the best CPA and tax advisors. The wealthy take full advantage of them due to their wealth. Perhaps a clearer way to put it so even you can understand it, I pay more percentage wise in taxes than the wealth person.

For starters, there was that coup attempt on Clinton because of a blow job. Then there was Bush-Cheney fabricating the nuclear weapons threat in order to justify the Iraq War. Then there was the failed ploy to "privatize Social Security". Just think what that would have accomplished given the current economic mess. Gosh, you're right. It's not possible to name ONE extreme policy. I named THREE without even scratching the surface.

I believe in the death penalty. Therefore, lying under oath I take very seriously. Clinton lied under oath.
Bush-Cheney didn't fabricate anything. They were wrong.
Social Security is on an unsustainable path. Allowing people to keep their own money is a serious proposal.

A blow job isn't sex, it's foreplay. Death for a blow job? Let's bring on the Taliban! Bush-Cheney DID lie on Iraq. They knew full well that Saddam had no nuke program yet Bush proclaimed it in his State of the Union, and his thugs proceeded to "out" CIA agent Plame because her husband had the guts to blow the whistle on them. Treason and laying groundwork for 4.000+ troops and countless civilians dead for a LIE is a much more serious crime than a blow job. Selective memory doesn't cut it.

A proposal for a freeze on all government spending ( except military and medicare etc..) was proposed by the Republicans. Not a bright idea when everyone in the private sector is afraid to spend. Pres. Hoover had a similar proposal in 1930.

I cannot stand Historical illiterates. Hoover INCREASED SPENDING AND TAXES. He also have massive tariffs.

That is not "Right Wing" a spending freeze is common sense.

YES! treal fanatcism is the Obama cult where the media sees him as an American Fuhrer who can do no wrong.
