Both conservatives and liberals and independents but demand compaign reform and stop the treason in Washington by the oligarchy and lobbyists that will do their bidding to have real debates and compromised solutions. The money is so entrenced, not wonder all we get is ideology arguments that do not work and media pumdits that support this crap for their own self interests and media for commercial and poltical ad money making bullcrap. Wake up American we are eroding like Rome and this Brave New World of Wal Marts and screwing over the middle class and poor with a dream that is just to survive anymore. Live better, save money, loose your job, shop Wal Mart and buy Chinese. Get it yet?

We saw the Republican effort or lack thereof at the beginning of the Iraq war with too few troops and the wrong equipment and no body armor, how many of our guys died unnecessarily before Republicans got it right? The Republican response or lack of effort was on full display again during Hurricane Katrina and finally on the one issue that was suppose to be a Republican strength, National Security, Republican tried to outsource control and security of U.S. Ports to Dubai. Keep drinking the Republican Koolaid.

I am getting tired of the same old excuse of this was Bush's problem! I don't know of any President who kept harping on a previous administration like this one does. How many campaign lies is he going to break and how much of my taxpayer money is he going to spend without any results (including my grandchildren's money).

Wake up and get real. Don't you ever read economic bulletins? The republican government of George Bush lost all of our grand childrens' money long before Obama came into office. Did you not read of the wall street crash a few months before Bush went into retirement? Within a few days of the economic meltdown during George Bush's watch, the American lost over a trillion dollars i live logn savings - poof into thin air like smoke!! and left this might nation into a recession worse than after the ww2. And nobody is making any excuses for the current government. We are only stating the facts: that the Repbulican economic myopia, and a miserable self defeating foreign policy left the current government with nothing to start from. There is no other government in the American history that left American in such despondency. That is why we keep on talking about the Bush's failures because there is nothing to talk about in reference to that regretable era of American history!!

Thus, your solution for all these problems exacerbated by the Conservative Agenda would be?

Republicans are not offering any solution, they never do that's why our country is in the situation we find ourselves today. President Obama was elected in direct defiance to the results, actions, and policy of the Conservative Agenda.

House has already been cleaned.

FYI.

With the Nation in a deep recession, the Democrats in the House Of Representatives, without even knowing the content, blundered thru Obama's "Cap and Tax Bill". Legislation that could well topple our economy into a depression. Pure fiscal insanity. For the Kool-aid addicts who believed Obama when he said that he would give a tax break to 95% of Americans, hold on to you wallets and prepare for the largest single regressive tax increase in American history. This "Global Warming" fraud will prove to be the biggest jobs killer ever conceived; and, simply ship millions of America jobs overseas to countries such as China and India. The next time you hear the ranting of an Obamanite, ask them why there is "NO" statistical correlation between atmospheric CO2 levels and global temperatures (the latter which actually have slightly decreased over the last decade) -and- why the temperature variations on Mars tracks identically with that on earth. ((Hint: the Sun is the only common denominator.)) Now you know why the inventor of the internet, Albert Gore, refuses to debate the issue. The logic in this dilemma is exceedingly simple, our Dictatorial Marxist, Barack Obama, simply wants more control over your activities and lifestyle; and, the health of the American economy be dammed. It's essential that we clean house in the upcoming elections. Greg Neubeck

Didn't George HW Bush (president 41) state (while crying) that he'd wished that Jebbie was the President instead of Dub?

What a pity Jeb rigged in his brother into the White House hoping the older sibling would hold the mantle well enough for him to take over and "A-bush" Americans with a BUSH dynasty known best for empty bragadocio and failure. And how can Jeb try to compare Obama's popularity with his brothers? When was he ever popular? And what targeble success did Bush achieve in his 8 years in office? If anyone want to quantify and compare Bushes success please enumerate them. Americans are getting sick with the Republican Conservative Negative mentality and their Hate. The chest thumbing short sighted George Bush was handed over - by his brother Jeb when he rigged the Florida caucus in favor of his brother - a vibrant economy and a hopeful country to lead into greater heights towards the American dream. On the contrary he mortgaged the economy and American jobs to China and to wall street wheeler dealers, sacrificed innocent American lives in a worthless war in Iraq - trying to pay back Saddam Hussein for riduculing the older Bush, distorted the American image among the international community - Actually what can George Bush be credited with except with driving Americans into a cesspit of misery and despair? George Bush was in office for 8 years!!! Obama has been in office for a mere 8 months and he took over a real mess created by the hate mongering GOP. So before we can talk of Obama's shortcomings, can the GOP loud mouth pieces tell Americans what George Bush (a.k.a the Conservative Republicans) bequethed Americans?

How's that "Hope and Change" workin out for ya'll, huh libs ?

It's working out way better for the United States then, if Palin/McCain would've been (diebold maniupulated) elected.

and, the GOP isn't presenting any solutions for the problems that they created under Dubya Bush and Richard Cheney.

Pres. Obama is probably the first U.S. President in American History who was targeted for failure by Republicans even before he was sworn in. Normally U.S. Presidents are given a chance to succeed and then attacked once they start to fail, but Pres. Obama has been relentlessly attacked even before day 1. Republicans led by haters Limbaugh and Cheney have hoped and wished for failure from the start. Republicans really are a disgrace and the Republican Party should be outlawed since Republicans created this mess which is rooted in the CIA's misleading of Congress and the American people with cooked data for a war in Iraq, now finally admitted. Enron, outting CIA Agents, Bush started the Bailouts with over 700 billion before he left office, trillion dollar debt borrowing and trade surplus with China, Outsourcing American jobs, attempted outsourcing U.S. Port control and security to Dubai, no bid Contracts to Cheneys Haliburton who is still on the payroll, Iraq war of choice still going on lasting longer than WWII, endless Republican sex scandals with no penalty, Bush leaves office with record job lost, record deficits, and record debt. 4400 plus dead in Iraq, more in Afghanistan! Blame it all on the Obama administration, at some point Pres. Obama has to assume responsibility, but we all know the root cause and source of this mess America is in, Republicans and Bush. So Jeb, don't even try it, I guess it's Pres. Obama's fault your brother tried to fight the Iraq war on the cheap by not providing our troops with the right equipment and body armor. Americans have a short memory, but it's not that short Crusader.
