- True, the Democrats would have screwed up the economy just as well as the red team. Both parties are totally worthless these days.

Now you are slowly returning to sanity, but let me help you a little more, The Democrats have not been in power for a while, but have your taxes gone down any real amount? No. Why?
In truth both parties engage in the corruption that has our country in debt, the Democrats cannot tax without cooperation from the Republicans and vice versa.
It is time we understand that there is only one party in government, the corrupt party. Neither cares about its constituents, they only use their pulpits to pimp the desires of their constituencies, without delivering the you now what. We must deal with both, otherwise we simply change a cobra for a rattlesnake. They are all snakes, and all poisonous. - Reply to this comment
- DEMONIC-RATS NEVER LEARN AS THEY REWARD THE GRASSHOPPER AND TAX THE ANT
The Ant and the Grasshopper
In a field one summer''s day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart''s content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.
"Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?"
"I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same."
"Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; we have got plenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:
It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.

- History shows that the Democrats will respond to the will of the people when the Republican Party will not.
Posted by skyk at 07:01 AM : Feb 02, 2008
You''re right there, to a point. They''ll only respond, only if they think it''ll get votes.
If we could at least get rid, or tone down the rivalry between the two parties, maybe they could work together. But I don''t see that happening either, do you? - Reply to this comment
- True but get a Republican to do ANYTHING about it if you can!
Posted by skyk at 06:51 AM : Feb 02, 2008
I agree, but try to get a Democrat to do something, and they''''ll run and hide. Time to get rid of both parties. No?

Since the Democrats are as old as the country I seriously doubt you will ever get rid of them. LOL We can hardly blame the party that had no way of dealing with the problem. The party in power for 6 years and did nothing but whine about it should be the one to blame...since there is only two of them. LOL Third Parties just do not work in this nation for some reason...don''t know why. The Roosevelts, before they formed the Liberal Wing of the NOW democrat party, tried to form one. IF they couldn''t get it done, I doubt anyone will. History shows that the Democrats will respond to the will of the people when the Republican Party will not. - Reply to this comment
- Ya know, Sam, on the street there are both Repubs, Dems, and Indies. None of them are guilty of the crimes you state, only the DC politicians who claim to represent them, and that toilet scum comes from all sides of the spectrum, but unlike us, they are united in their pursuit of the corrupted dollar.
Perhaps if we start referring to them as a group, instead of making the people at our level upset, by blaming any one party (they all brought us to this dance) which by association is taken personally, we only create more division and enmity, which helps the corrupt to remain so.
Just replace the word "Republicans" with "politicians", and you are instantly closer to a solution.
By the way, E-mail your representative, and demand impeachment proceedings, and have ten of your friends do the same.

Truer words could not be posted. I don''t think there is a honest politician of either party. And if people would just quit siding with a party and begin to look at the individuls we may have a start to right the ship. - Reply to this comment

SOOOOO?? Because YOU think Obama''s Church MAY have taken some actions as FREE American''s that you and your fellow Nazi''s do not agree with that makes him a bad man? You Fascist are getting awlfully desperate for some sort of wedge issue aren''t you? Honestly when we start holding people responsible for the actions of their church NO ONE in the South who attended the Southern Baptist Church can hold political office. Think about the crimes against humanity they have supported...bombings, lynching...etc. Sieg Heil Bush!! SIEG HEIL GRAND WIZARD!! - Reply to this comment

What curious creatures we are fellow patriot. For I have also found myself envious of your depth of knowledge of history and its inherent wisdom, and ability to reference it upon a whim.
Perhaps that is why it is better that humans guide each other, rather than attempt to lead.
For we all have much to offer, and much to learn.

Who cares? Of a truth, while many whites and Jews have peen put off by Minister Farrakhan''s sometimes over the top fiery rhetoric, he has done more to help poor "Black" people find self determination than any government program ever has. If he is so honored, obviously enough people felt that he earned that honor.
Your post suggests that you are working for the racist roaches that we already knew would crawl from the woodwork, and try to affiliate Mr. Obama with each and every one of their fears.
Of a truth, I hope you racists are afraid, they should be, because their heyday is almost over, never to return. - Reply to this comment

Lord almighty.
What the heck am I doing here, or anywhere?
I''m supposed to be your guide, except that I''m not really a very good guide so I also asked that everyone else help guide me.
I know.
It''s not a very power mad or dictorial position, so I don''t get a lot of respect or support for advocating it.
But I''d be a gosh d-a-r-n-e-d good semi-guide, and bring you a lot of opinions you and I were unaware of or unfamiliar with, and we could all ponder them together.
And that''s a lot better than one person simply pointing their finger at someone else and exclaiming "They''re the enemy!", and everyone else firing in lock step.
