Aww! are the republican's feeling left out a bit? Wanna tissue?

Sorry, just can't stand when Bush claimed he had a mandate, and 'had earned political capital' with the narrowest vote margin in his election in a long time, then he proceeded to let big Business go wild.

obama should just come out and say what bush said " I have political capital, and im gonna spend it" except this time it isnt being spent to make all the president's cronies a lot of money

@garthggarth you'd prefer all business to fail.

silly liberal tissue remark.

It is just a number I pulled from the air. Remember, the people has a very short memory. In sixteen years, helped by a few scandals, the American people may be ready to see the GOP back in power.

And after they have raped the country for a few years and gotten us into a hot war with China or maybe Canada the people will realize the depth of their mistake. Hopefully. Dubia did well with his insane war with Iraq.

Quote: Lets hope it is SIXTEEN YEARS before they have any kind of majority anywhere.

I'm with you on that, xhagast. However, I was thinking more along the lines of A FEW GENERATIONS, but sixteen will do!!

But the Democrats have bent over backwards to work with the GOP only to have them spit in their faces. That's more than I can say for the GOP when they were busy screwing up the country during Bush's first six years in office. Those treasonous sobs in the GOP even tried to KILL THE FILIBUSTER to ensure that their disastrous agenda made it through the Senate unchallenged. So that little "Even Steven" argument that you right wingers always pull out of your behinds is laughable at best.

But the Democrats embrace now a measure they were against back in the day. Doesn't that also qualify as hypocrisy?

[LuvChaos]

The Republicans are just shameless, lying hypocrites. Period. And I love that new "budget alternative" they came out with today. To quote my man Yogi Berra: This is like deja vu all over again! LOL

[mushroomagicman]

Hypocrisy is part of the job description for ALL polititians.....

xhagast:

I agree... If there's one thing that these freaks did best... it's that they became THE MOST corrupt Party in American history!

[xhagast]

Screw them. Forget them. Lets hope it is SIXTEEN YEARS before they have any kind of mayority anywhere. And that they got a brain transplant from a donkey. Great improvement, you can be sure.

And I hope there is a third party in the scene by then. These guys deserve go down history's toilet and disappear. The Whigs weren't this bad.

[xhagast]

Of course. It already has. By the GOP. Screw them.
