Democrates who support Gay marriage hate children, only those who hate children would put them through a risky and hatful social expeirment that goes against thousands of years of proven marriage between a man and a woman. Do not vote for hatful politicitians in the fall.

"Prices are soaring. The stock market is falling."

Wrong. Stock market went up 276 points today. Oil prices are still dropping since President Bush lifted the Executive ban on oil drilling. If the Democrat-controlled Congress would do their part to allow drilling, the price would REALLY DROP.

"Homeowners are losing their homes."

Only those who got themselves into risky loans.

"Jobs are leaving."

Export goods jobs are up.


"Banks are failing."

Only those who were operating unethically.


"The country''s infrastructure is falling apart. Crime is rising.""

So, get rid of the illegal aliens, and see if it improves.


"The "bogus" "official" unemployment rate is rising."

Not sure what you mean here, but unemployment is still lower than at any time of the Clinton administration.


"The dollar is WORTHLESS!"

If you think so, throw your money into the street and see if anyone picks it up.

Tell him where he''''s wrong. Come on now. I''''m sure a guy with such an intelligent moniker like tiddsanbeer will be able to debate the issues.

Lol... yea, I don''t bother talking to that particular redneck. Not only would it be a waste of time - actually speaking to him would seem... degrading somehow. 8-)

Republicans: The party that wouldn''t even exist at all anymore except for their platform of hating gay people and anyone who doesn''t subscribe to their particular brand of religion. These days, being a "conservative" has nothing to do with being conservative fiscally, it just means you hate minorities, love war, fetuses (until they are born) and have no sense of fiscal responsibility whatsoever. The last eight years have proven that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Over SIX years of war. Civil rights breached by our commander in chief. Internationally recognized torture sanctioned by the White House. Two invaded and currently occupied countries. Hundreds of thousands dead, including OVER 4500 American soldiers. Billions of our tax dollars spent, and yes, are still being spent to this very moment.

Iraq, which had NOTHING to do with 9/11, is now an occupied country which will implode when we get out of it, whether that happens one, two, ten or five hundred years from now. A society that CHOOSES to be ruled by religion cannot become a democracy; it can only be a theocracy with voting cards.

Bin Laden still lives. The mastermind of 9/11 still walks free.

The one, simple word for this is: failure. No amount of deception, indignation or wailing by republicons can change these facts.

Failure of Bush. Failure of Cheney. Failure of the republicans.

Time for a change.

DaysRnumbrd - oh PA-Leeze!

30s and 40s - Germany was trying to pay off debts set upon it for WWI, which the treaty of Versailles had placed upon it. Many parts of Germany had been given to other neighboring countries, and the people felt like there was no way out of the problem they were in.

To make this sort of comparison is pure BS from a far left idiot. Grow a brain, get involved in the real world.

That 9% approval rating, THE LOWEST IN HISTORY, is all yours LIB.

Posted by mbcsmith

Er, not quite. The Repiglicans hold enough seats in the Senate that they can block anything the moron-in-chief doesn''t like, e.g. ending the illegal war. People blame Congress for not holding the moron-in-chief and his cronies accountable for the illegal war and its build-up. They also are p1ssed off with the lack of lack of cooperation among the main parties in tackling problems - and this partisanship is what begun in earnest with the Repiglican takeover of Congress in 1994. Remember Newt Gingrich & Co? The moron-in-chief has been the most partisan president in history and he has poisoned the ability to get anything done in Congress until he''s gone.

Our history classes taught us about the Nazis and the control they gained in the 1930s in Germany, as well as the results of their control. But what our history classes did not teach us, was how the Nazis like Hitler, Goehring, (and others), gained their control. We were not taught how these Nazi leaders gained the trust and following of masses of Germans.

Well, we need not look any further than "mbcsmith" as to how Hitler gained the loyalty of the German people. The patterns and propaganda from the Bush regime are no different and the regurgitation from their followers (mbcsmith) is also no different than the fascists of Germany in the 1930s and 40s.

It is really sad that it has come to this point in America, where in our K-12 history classes, many of us thought... "it could never happen here."

It is happening, which is why America''s days are numbered.

The price of oil drops, the stock market goes up 276 points, and CBS still manages to keep it out of the news.

Shameful.

jumkey -

I thought mbcsmith''s points were dead on. And, I see your response was nothing but insults. The last stand of a far left lib when he/she/it has been confronted with the facts.


I believe it should be repeated...

"Let''''s look at reality, shall we?
The LIBS CONTROL all house and senate committees. The LIBS CONTROL the agendas of those committees, The LIBS CONTROL what legislation can be brought to the floors of the house and senate, the LIBS CONTROL when house and senate votes will be taken. The LIBS control the ability of the minority to offer amendments.


That 9% approval rating, THE LOWEST IN HISTORY, is all yours LIB.

Thanks mbcsmith for the FACTs.

nice try ... mr. objectivity.

everyone''s now in a big hole ... a hole your ''boy wonder'' has created for us all ... a hole he''s leaving for everyone else to figure out how to get out of.

at least he''s showing everyone what he''s really good at ... everyone should ideally be good at something.

Maybe you could stop the namecalling and foaming at the mouth long enough to engage your brain.

It is not just libs, but also conservatives. And I quote "if you want to know how Fannie Mae and Freddie MAc have survived scandal and crisis consider this: over the past decade, they have spent more than $200 million on lobbying and campaign contributions. They''ve stacked their payrolls with top Washington power brokers of all political stripes including Republican John McCain''s presidential campaign manager Rick Davis. At least 20 McCain fundraisers have lobbied on behalf of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, netting at least $12.3 million in fees over the past nine years." Obama has some of these corrupt, fat cats working in his campaign too including Jim Johnson who headed Fannie Mae from 1991-1998 and left with "a $21 million payout. Even after he left, Fannie continued to pay him an annual fee of $300,000 a year for consulting services and a $71,000 monthly pension, according to filings with the Security and Exchange Commission."
-- Lisa Lerer on politico.com

Members of our Congress are in on this fleecing of the American people. They have to bailout Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because they stand to lose too much and risk exposure of criminal activity.
