Little Acrimony Between Front-Runners With Jan. 3 Caucuses Approaching

Clinton had a balanced budget because Newt Gingrich and the Republican House refused to advance an unballanced budget. Clinton and Gore stood on the White House steps accusing the Republicans of holding the government hostage, but now he wants to take credit for it. Hillary wants to take credit for it too, because she is one of the ones who slept with him.

Go ahead and pile taxes on those corporations, so we consumers can pay those too, every time we buy an American made product. We pay all the taxes in the end, why don''t they think we know that?

The Democrats want to saddle us with a budget busting and deficit exploding universal health care approach and they want to continue poverty inducing entitlements that mire those they want to help into multi-generational poverty. They''''ve also overblown global warming as the fact that the earth''''s hole is shrinking indicative of a decline in global warming shows. They also want less money for a military they say is broken. Most importantly of all, they want to raise your taxes during a time of higher prices.

In 12 years of Reagan and bush SR. administrations, the national debt quadrupled from less than $1 trillion to over $4 trillion.

Clinton brought the spiraling debt expansion to a halt be the end if his 8 year administration.

Bush Jr., in only 7 years, has raised the national debt by more than $4 trillion to over $9 trillion.
We are now saddled with an annual tax INCREASE of $1/2 trillion (interest on the debt).

If the debt is let stand as is and not lowered, it will rise by another $5-to-$6 trillion, to $15 trillion in the next ten years just with the annual interest, even with an otherwise BALANCED BUDGET

BORING!!!!

Obama clearly presented insightful answers in a spontaneous, well reasoned and very presidential manner. After watching this debate you know you can trust him to lead this country wisely, and work toward bringing people together to get things done. Edwards used all the right hot-button words to get people to react emotionally, but was a bit too repetitive, lawyer-like, and adversarial, promising conflict, not solutions as president. Hillary just fell flat with her feeble attempts to jab, and pander to women with waist line problems. Others all seemed worthy of being candidates for president. A low key, but informative debate.

No one could possibly handle the economy or the US worse than Bush. Seven years of failure and what should be SHAME. Republicans just like having a father figure to tell them what to do, and everything will be all right..God, George W. Bush, etc.

Why do republicans hate average middle class white guys who are smart enough to go on to run for President, become President, all on their OWN? Why do they support born millionaires who can''''t identify in anyway, other than being white..talk about people who never did anything on their own; the privileged.

Now THAT is funny, contradictory, and hypocritical.

You republicans vote against your own best interests with every turn. So sad.

That''s really funny. When they are through taxing the rich which I believe is basically 2% of the population, then they can extend the AMT down to the rest of us. We love socialists, but we dont'' want them running our country.

[marcodele]

But Josh. He promised the neocons a check for $300 if he got elected. They don''t realize in the long run it will cost them about $300,000.

"Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises; for never intending to go beyond promises; it costs nothing." Ron Paul has shaped these debates as well as the whole presidential race. The candidates are at least talking about OUR constitution and the violations that have happened in the last 2 decades let alone since the Federal Reserve was created, which facilitated the unconstitutional government we have today. Vote Constitution, vote America, vote Paul.

Kucinich won the debate clearly. He made no errors, but his positions (which he holds and has he for years in many cases) are the ones the others are slowly moving towards (which is what the Democrats have wanted all along). Dennis holds the steady values and principles of the true Democratic wing of the Democratic Party.

It''s too bad the those hold the party couldn''t invite the man who in the living example of what the party stands for.

I hate Iowa.

[poopusbuttus]

The Dummy Dems are debating tonight. Wanna get away?

[tcoleman12]

What moronic double-speak...Corporations don''t pay taxes. Their "taxes" are passed on to the consumer in the cost of the products that we purchase. Any tax increase to a corporation is going to increase the cost of goods down the line...Genius!
And what is their problem with "rich" people anyway? Unlike most of them, most of the "rich" people I know worked very hard for the money they have.

[hillaryin08]

"I want to keep the middle class tax cuts" that Congress passed during President Bush''s tenure, said Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York. But she said she favors raising taxes for the wealthiest income-earners and corporations.

And they wonder why jobs are leaving America
