White House Gears Up for Disappointing Election Day

Here in NJ, people are really fed up…unless Acorn or the Black panther party has it’s way, Corzine is OUT !

To me, the NY-23 race is pretty meaningless except as an internecine battle among Republicans. And I suspect Corzine will win in NJ because Cristie is so unprinipled and unattractve, but mainly because an incumbentt Dem has outspent the Repub three to one in one of the deepest Blue states in the country.
What will be of most interest to me is the percentage of votes cast for the Dems in NJ and Vrginia.

Isn’t it interesting (and telling) that although the Obama Administration says that the results of these elections are pretty meaningless (now that they have realized that the Demons will probably lose)…that even though they are meaningless, Obama is going to campaign in NJ and Biden is going to NY? If the results are “meaningless”, then WHY ARE YOU SPENDING MY MONEY TO GO CAMPAIGN????. Just think of the number of jobs you can create, save, embolden by donating that money to the unions. Or…is it just possible that you are lying again, and that you ARE indeed worried about what these elections are going to say about how the American people feel about YOU?

Are they joking? These elections are a DIRECT RESPONSE to the President and Congress on the way the country feels about the direction they are taking this country!! Do you think you can tell people their complaints about spending and the way they are passing bills are not legitimate and think they will say “OK”? We are responding with the cast of our ballots. And before I hear about being a “Right Winger”, I want to let you know I am a Democrat. But that doesn’t make me a stupid sheep. Keep this up and I will switch to being an Independent.

Corzine and Owens will win. What, then jake? So much for your story line.

Right . . . the long view. The long view is to vote every one of those leftist Democrats out of office.

Your post just screams that you’re an independent. I’m not sure why you thought you even needed to tell us that.

i sure hope that I never drive on the same highways as you do….good grief, you’ll be in my lane, hit me head on, and claim that it was my fault for being in my lane……..but as you say….we’ll see. And Happy Halloween to you.

The right keeps pulling things further and further to the right on the spectrum. There may be some issues that he’s further to the left than you like, but overall, yep, he’s just slightly left of center. The problem is that the right wingers think that on a six lane highway, five lanes are theirs. Doesn’t work that way. Look at the world, peeps. Look at the world and gain some perspective on the left-right spectrum.
Happy Halloween to you, too, btw :>)

and brian….CLAIMING to be “an independent” while shouting out the Democratic Party lines….sort of disingeneous, don’t you think? A wolf in sheep’s clothing, perhaps? History and civics lesson for you, my friend: Bush did NOT start any wars by himself. He had the backing of over 95% of Congress and the American people. He had the backing of over 90% of the world. If you would bother to read the UN Security Council resolutions concerning Hussein’s responsibilities (to the world) that HE agreed to, then you might see beyond your anti-GOP hyperbole. But don’t bother to research….it’s easier to recite talking points over and over in hopes that that will make them true. But, please….don’t even TRY to claim to be an independent if you are going to turn a blind eye to the faults of the Democratic party

Thank you ma’am. But we must be looking at the highway of life from different perspectives. A president of ANY nation that desires to interject government take over of the country’s fiscal system, that wants to redistribute wealth…and also redistribute health. A leader that appoints sub leaders (czars) and gives them as much power as the Constitution gives to cabinet members….a leader that wishes to nationalize banking…that wants to squash the free press (if they publish unflattering content)…..sorry, but to me, that is FAR LEFT. And that is not what I spilled my blood for. His words during his campaigh: “This is the greatest country in the world….join me and help me change it!”….i thought that was just a silly slip of the tongue…i shudder now, because that is exactly what he meant…..

CLAIMING to be “an independent”
***
Just an FYI, though it may not seem that way to folks if they’re operating within a given bubble, many independents ARE anti-GOP. Some are also anti-Dem, some are anti-either major party. But it’s pretty clear from all polling that the GOP isn’t very popular right now.
Can’t speak for Brian, but I do know a lot of progressive independents– some vote Green, some vote Dem more often than Republican, some can’t stand the GOP. Conservatives and mods don’t own the independent label.

True enough, Alyson….but if you are truly “independent”, as many are, then, by definition, you turn away from the ideologs of either main party, and think for yourself. THAT is what is so frightening to the Democrats and Republicans right now. So, to claim to be “independent” just because you hate the label of Liberal of Conservative, is just dishonest, yet you still shout out the liberal or conservative talking points…well, that’s just plain dishonest. And I think you are going to be quite surprised Tuesday to see which way the true independents cast their votes.

America is a country in trouble. I pity American children because for the first time, the quality of life is going down and the rich 5% are getting richer. All the economic growth is fueled by debt to chinese and the arabs. Even cash for crankers was spreading the debt between the government and the car buyer.
I was in Walmart and Target and noticed that nothing is made in North America anymore. And the big worry here is about who is governor not the future of the country.
All countries with public health system (including canada have swine flu vaccinations) while USA can not make enough to even cover the most likely to get sick. At what stage do Americans decide that they are tired of being divided by the rich ( Rupert Mudorch)since as their lives deteriorates, the Mudorchs and the Waltons are laughing all the way to the bank. What significant change will occur in your life if the governor of New Jersey is a democrate or a republican.
I am truly sad for the future of this country if our thoughts are to be shaped by Fox or NBC news. We might as well close shop and hang a sign saying ” destroyed country..we could think for ourselves”.

Sorry Alyson…in my opinion, yes, Bush was a “leftie”….He was a Republican, but ran a liberal fiscal policy. I know the lefties don’t like that, but that is one of the main reasons that so many in the GOP felt that he abandoned our conservative principals….I think my world views are sound

The results are in on republican control. This Nation used to be World Class Everything. The United States sent the standards others where measured by. The republicans have lead this nation to third world status and brought poverty to this Great nation. I say we outsource their jobs to democrats.

Well the Democrats give voters no choice. It’s hard left wing ideology all the way. Unless due for an election, then the conservative talk starts. Obama and his ilk are as extreme liberal as the media claims every Republican is “right wing.” Who’s a bigger lefty than Obama? There isn’t one and yet the mainstream media never labels him as extreme. No bias there…ha!

“Whatever the results are I don’t think they portend a lot in dealing with the future…” says Robert Gibbs. Get the spinning started early. Keep shoving the extreme agenda down Americas’ throat. That will portend a lot for the Democrats.

The republicans have been losing races all over the country since their IT guru died in a plane crash. Same guy was being questioned about how bush got 6000 votes in an Ohio district with less than 1000 voters registered in the 2004 election. Hit a flag pole in his private plane. Act of defiance or act of justice?? Interesting story. Do a search for, “republican IT guru dies in plane crash”. ACORN couldn’t hold a candle to this one.

If you want to put people back to work vote democratic. The choices are the party of “no” or the party of “go”.

Hate to burst your bubble, but 8 out of the top 10 states with the highest unemployment voted Democrat.

“The tea party attendees have for the most part brought out the nut cases and attendance at all of them has been less than 1% of the population within a 10 mile radius and dropping.”
LOL! The tea parties are LARGER THAN EVER, bringing in more people who have never before been politically active…across the political spectrum. Rallies in my area consist of 40% Democrats. The rallies are much larger than Obama’s own astroturf rallies, not that the media reports that little fact.

Down with the Democrat Socialist Party!!!!!!!!!!

God i really do hope they vote the Obama nuts OUT!!!!

Gibbs says…”I think we continue to take the long view on what’s going on in Washington and throughout the country,”…Ya, collapsing America’s economic system and spending our children’s future away.

Principle over Party needs to be the new motto!…Newt, you are too stuck on the Party bandwagon.

With economic recovery on shaky ground and the deficit mounting sky high, election losses will be no surprise.

Obama and the Dems have been in office for 10 months have done nothing …Obama hasn’t even acted like a President he ‘s still campaigning..LOL ..I just hope this country can withstand what he’s trying to do to america..More and more american’s are wakeing up to what they voted for …

Hopefully both parties will do terribly. Chances of that happening = 0%.

People can either vote for a President that wants to put people back to work or they can vote with the party of no, concessions, outsourcing, credit default swaps, hedge funds, derivatives, tax breaks for the wealthy, speculators, speculation, and bailouts. 18 more republican senate seats on the ballot in 2010. Let the games begin!

Hopefully tuesday is the beginning of the american people taking our country back ..We need to vote every single one of them out …We need people that wants to work for the american people not for thugs and lobbyist …It’s all a game to them and the american people pay the price …

The results are in on republican control.
==========
What was the unemployment rate when Republicans last had control of Congress?
Obviously, the Republicans spent too much…but they haven’t controlled Congress in almost 3 years. Bush has been out of office 9 months.
How long can Democrats go without claiming responsibility for something?
In my view, election results have shown people are fed up with fiscal insanity no matter who is doing it. Obama and the Dem-led Senate and House would be wise to remember that.

I also wonder whether there fallout from liberals toward Obama and the White House (who have again chosen to dither, stand on the sidelines, and vote present), should Question 1 in Maine and Referendum 71 in State of Washington return traditional marriage laws to these states.

“Whatever the results are I don’t think they portend a lot in dealing with the future,”
LOL, and if a Democrat happens to win one of those three contests Mr. Gibbs will surely be out there stating that it’s a strong endorsement of the current administration’s policies. Too bad we can’t vote on WH press secretaries.

If you believe that freedom is lining a health care ceo’s pocket vote republican.

Actually conflict in the Republican Party is a good thing. It will improve the party and make it stronger.

At the end of bush’s term he left the country on the verge of complete financial failure. They were ready to declare marshal law on the congress unless the financial sector was given bailouts. The results were in after 11 and a half years of republican control. Capitalism works for the few. Not the many. 18 more republican senate seats on the ballot in 2010. Lets send them all packing.

Yes the pending elections are so insignificant that Biden and Obama are making a last ditch effort to bring out voters.
Obama is so not worried that he’s going back to New Jersey AGAIN on Sunday.
We’ll hear his fake folksy accent and worn out slogans. But it’s more to save himself than Corzine.

Message to the DNC. Many people, like myself, were so disappointed with the way Bush and the GOP congress governed, we went and supported the Democrats.
Unlike the bipartisanship they promised, Pelosi, Reid and crew make up bills by closed doors and then ask the GOP to support them so its bi-partisanship! That is not bi-partisanship.
The moderates and independents are watching them closely as they govern and I am very upset with the way they have been governing.
At this point, I would love to see the balance of power in at least one congressional chamber shift. If the house was divided, then there would be more compromises and centrists positions like we had wiht Clinton.
Time for divided control of Congress and the WH again.

NY-23 is a warning to all RINO’s.
Sczzafava was so liberal she was actually endorsed by the Daily Kos.
What an honor for a so called Republican.
Kudos to Sarah Palin and the tea partiers.
They endorsed Hoffman-the conservative candidate when he was in a distant third place.
Hoffman is a regular guy untainted by the corruption on Washington–and best of all he stands by his principals.

Will Obama allow MSM to report on these elections when the Republicans win?

While I have not been totally happy with the Democrats, I do prefer their plans to the GOP’s. Oops, I forgot…they don’t have any. “No” is not a plan. Thier tea bags are empty. Whether it comes to health care reform, global warming, helping those struggling with the economy, hate crimes, whatever…the message from the Republicans is clear. They just don’t care. Period. Call me silly, but I’m still glowing in the freedom from the arrogant oppressive Bush regime.

I never get tired of liberals who recite the usual mantra, “the republicans have no plan; they’re the party of no”. Not only is that completely incorrect, its absolutely moronic. Since when should I trust a lib to tell me what the right is or isn’t doing? The republicans have had quite a few plans; all of them simple market-based changes that would immediately improve the current system and reduce costs. Most of them would fit on a single sheet of paper, cost virtually nothing, and would probably pass with 80% support. But that’s not what Obama wants! No the pro(re)regressives amongst us want to force the 1,990 page bill down our throats. It’ll cost a buttload of money we don’t have, they exempt themselves from the plan, and it contains several controversial (and unconstitutional) components. But since when was the constitution anything but an impediment to a liberal?

Americans have a very short memory. Bush and the Republicans trashed America, now they are hoping to get back into office. If you get sick and don’t have insurance just stay away from the emergency room. Republicans would rather have you die than see Health Insurance CEOs take home less than $24 million pay windfall.

If there was any argument for term
limits, we have it now. Anyone in
office should not be able to serve
more than two terms. Does not matter
what their party affiliations are or
what they accomplish. With a country
of 300+ million people, I find it hard
to believe we have to fall back on
the same old few all the time. Maybe
they would do the right thing instead
of spending their time lining their
pockets and working to keep that
cushy job. That way they would also have
to live by the crap they drop on everyone else. They are immune from
most things have to suffer thru and if
they had to go back and get a real job
they may take a second look at all the
pie in the sky ideas they have.

While I have not been totally happy with the Democrats, I do prefer their plans to the GOP’s. Oops, I forgot…they don’t have any…
___________
Good point. I love the folks who say “act like a Republican”– lol!! What does that mean in this millenium? Start an unnecessary war, borrow money from China, run up the deficit by giving out tax cuts to rich people without corresponding cuts in spending, endorse torture but pretend it’s not torture, smear anyone moderate or liberal, sift out the RINO’s, talk about being Christian while failing to heal the sick or help the poor, pretend that the ignorant and overwrought Americans are the “real” Americans?
Conservatives don’t like the Party of No thing because the truth hurts. Yet, they can supposedly fit all their simple-minded plans on one page in large print, jrobinson, and that proves they’re not the party of no and that they have better ideas??
Whatever.
I guess it’s the day for goofbombs and tricks, so y’all should have fun.

If you get sick and don’t have insurance just stay away from the emergency room. Republicans would rather have you die than see Health Insurance CEOs take home less than $24 million pay windfall.

You cannot be refused treatment at an emergency room, regardless of your ability to pay. Insurance Companies average 5% profit annually. There will be more earmarks in the Dems healthcare reform bill than that.
In the Reid plan, Doctor’s who are in the top 10% billing of Medicare will have to pay penalties. This will CUT care to Seniors, because Doctor’s won’t want to pay. So it is the Dems that would rather see you die.
Please try and print something true if you are posting.

“Obama has closer ties to ACORN than Cheyney ever did to Haliburton.”
____________________________________
You’re going to have to not post nonsense like this if you want people to take your posts seriously.
Cheney was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Halliburton from 1995 to 2000. You can’t get any closer than that.
Seek the truth, not nonsense.

Anyone who says the GOP has no plans is simply a fool. Read the text of Boener’ statement today and think again. About 600 words that make far more sense than Nancy Pelosi’s 1,900 pages.
The serfs and yokels are celebrating their coming servitude. But then they’ve always lived in fear of having to decide things for themsleves, and they’ve always believed that the government will do a better job than free people can. A solid century of conclusive evidence to the contrary does not faze them.
If you have the soul of a serf, then a serf you will always be. And the Democratic party will welcome you.

If the republicans win a single thing in the election it will not only be a travesty and a disappointment, but a truly heart breaking event.

“Cheyney was just on the board. that’s all.”
_________________________________
First of all you should learn to spell his name correctly if you’re going to profess to know so much about him.
Cheney was CHAIRMAN of the board, AND Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Halliburton from 1995 to 2000.
You might want to look up “Chief Executive Office” so you can speak with more knowledge.
Do you have any idea of how much Cheney was paid out by Halliburton when he went directly from being CEO of that company to VP?

I gave you Paul Ryan’s name. Did you choose to ignore it? Will you go to his website and see for yourself, or will you just follow the Dems lead and chant that there aren’t any?
Today, John Boehner read a 787 word reform that would actually work without killing our economy.
Posted by: wheresmymoney | Oct 31, 2009 3:14:49 PM
I’m looking for the caucus-backed plan that was promised, not Paul Ryan’s plan, unless he’s managed to pull together caucus backing. Not a plan here and a plan there with no traction. That part is easy as pie. Dems have tons of them. A caucus-backed plan. A bill. Or is that too difficult for the lame-brains to understand. (Don’t answer where’s my money, I’ve read plenty of your posts- I know it’s above your general comp levels.) I’ll see if Boner makes sense. If Boner actually has a plan and it goes online for 72 hours, then, finally, he met his promise– though he was backing down from scrutiny of a written bill a few days ago.

Pure capitalism has not been promoted since Reagan term. What we have had since is corrupt corporations partnered to a corrupt government of 2 currupt parties.
We need non-lawyer, common citizens replacing these control freaks and get it back to “We the People”.
Free the free market of the corrupt strings of bondage of the state.
We now have the folks that caused the current crises “fixing it” and actually creating more crisis and corruption.
Replace them ALL…2010 and 2012!

If the republicans win a single thing in the election it will not only be a travesty and a disappointment, but a truly heart breaking event.
Posted by: Real Liberal | Oct 31, 2009 3:24:07 PM
I like how you protest too much in hopes that gullible conservatives will believe you’re a “real” liberal. Whatever. In reality land where progressives and actual liberals live, it won’t be a disappointment. It’s expected. What’s intriguing is that the patients are taking over the asylum– see NY (good news for 2012 if it continues)– and that Corzine is running neck and neck despite his unpopularity.

Olivia: Its people like you who are ruining our party. We can’t afford to lose anything at this point and the thought of the 2010 election scares me to death.

Tierra, here’s the truth: I don’t care about Che(y)ney. I don’t care how to spell his name correctly. I don’t care what boards he served on or didn’t. That was old old old news. And I didn’t care when it was news. What I am trying to say is where is the operative connection? What did Cheney DO? Let me guess: he invented US and worldwide intelligence and so we would invade Afghanistan to enrich a company he had to divest from when he became VP?
Then explain why we are still there NOW. Explain why Obama called it “the right war”. Who’s the real chickenhawk?
Obama’s connection with ACORN as lead council is an operational one. Not only did he perfect many of his skills during this era, he uses them to this very day. That AIG/red rat/ACORN affair was just last August.
You trot out this worn-out cheney haliburton crap because its all you got. And like a comfortable old shoe, you return to it to feel more in control like you did the last 8 years.
The real truth is there’s nothing sinister going on. Just your basic government inbred idiocy. You libs seized upon this connection to tar and feather Bush, that’s all. Remember BDS?
None of your predictions ever came true; (where’s that afghan pipeline?) None of your connections could really ever be explained – that’s why, years later, it is obviously crap.
You still can’t explain to me why Haliburton is still working for Obama. Hell, XE (formerly blackwater) was security for Hillary when she last visited.
How is this any of this possible if your wild conspiracy theories from the last 8 years were true? Its time to grow up – you were wrong. It was all just 8 years of cool aid.

YOU have all the tells!

All right Real Liberal, how about this. Tell me why you’re a liberal and why it’s important to you that liberal values prevail. That would benefit the party, right? As it would be a heartfelt and lucid post– and it may touch some other commenters.
I believe in the common good, that we’re all in it together, but that all that do-gooder stuff doesn’t mean we have to sit by when those who are misguided lie and distort and steer policy in a backward direction. I believe in hope, progress, an open mind and heart, health care for all, strong forward-thinking energy policy, and war as a last resort. I believe you can be an optimist but still play hardball politics.
I also believe I gotta go. Trick-or-treaters are at the door and I have to don my BatGirl cape.

It’ll be easy to slip and fall at the
WH bowling alleys Tues. night. Flop
sweat and tears play hobs with a wood
floor. We’re thankful for the “change”
coming to ol’ Virginny. Thanks,Barak.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist:
“Tell me why you’re a liberal and why it’s important to you that liberal values prevail. That would benefit the party, right? As it would be a heartfelt and lucid post– and it may touch some other commenters.”
First of all, who appointed you in charge of liberal litmus testing on public forums? You guys really are fascists; gotta keep the groupthink together at all costs. Prove you’re a liberal dammit – or else. Or else, what, exactly? You’ll sniff disapprovingly?
Second, that quote touches upon the very essence of liberalism; it’s all about feeling good, everyone liking you, and spreading the groupthink… you actually believe that we have different values?
The problem with this debate is you think that I don’t want people to have access to quality healthcare. That’s how sick you are. You refuse to understand your opposition, so you slander them.
We are oppposed to the plan based on efficacy – it doesn’t work. It will result in substandard care, rationing, corruption, completely destroy the budget. Like similar plans have done throughout history all around the globe.
But instead of alleviating our concerns or entering an honest debate, you just slander us and call us Nazis and we just want people to die when all we really want is to not INFLICT this healthcare system on our citizens.
Being on the right means being a slave to facts; being on the left means being a slave to your feelings. And all the pretty feelings you use as your moral compass keeps getting us shipwrecked… but that’s okay.

The geniuses who want to take over America’s healthcare system have decided that Guantanamo inmates take precedence over at- risk Americans for swine-flu inoculations.
“So Khalid Sheikh Mohamed, the man who conceived the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3000 Americans, is eligible for a swine flu vaccination. But Kristin Bencik, a pediatrician working overtime to treat kids suspected of having swine flu, has chosen to forego a shot so that she is not taking one away from one of her vulnerable patients. And she is really a “higher risk” case — she’s pregnant.”

Tyler 1:46PM
You got it 100%right: when Obama speaks and uses
that fake folksy accent, he thinks people will believe he feels just like one of us. Wrrrong!
Time for another trick.

When will people wake up? BOTH parties have betrayed the people, they are legislative prostitutes who have sold out to the Lobby dollar of corporate America,,,,BOTH Wall street and the defense contractors,,,,,They are using our tax dollars for personal and party profit,,,,,,,To admit supporting EITHER party after ALL that has happened,,,,would be insanity,,,,,to further support them , would be accessory to TREASON…..Voters need to vote out ALL incumbents from BOTH parties ,,,they have miserably FAILED at representing the people,,,replace them with ALL independent candidates,,,send a VERY clear message to BOTH parties,,,,,your Attitude of seeing yourselves as too big to fall …will not protect you .

The Obama administration has gone after both Rush Limbaugh and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — showing an inability to distinguish between the burning of heretics and the burning of bridges. It has courted insurance companies, then publicly demonized them for showing independence. Obama has tended to define all opposition, particularly on health care, as resulting from fear, cowardice and selfishness — instead of admitting genuine disagreement. At a recent fundraiser, he mocked Republicans as robots who “do what they’re told.” He has engaged in consistent, classless, self-excusing criticism of his predecessor. Other presidents have been known for a war on totalitarianism or a war on terror. Obama is known for a war on Fox News.”

so, the WH is bracing itself for a
bummer election day this Tuesday….
well, that’s just one TRILLIONTH of how
too many people felt LAST November.
And one TRILLIONTH of how THEY are gonna feel NEXT November !!!!!
The sleeping giant has awakened …
and he’s not jolly OR green !!!

Here is a bit of biographical information about Dr. Kristin Bencic, whose very existence Tierra purported to doubt in her unprincipled ad hominem attack upon me ( the intersted reader is encouraged to resort to Google for more):
“I have the best job in the world. I am a mom and a pediatrician!
The greatest part of being a pediatrician is watching infants grow into young adults and knowing that you played a significant role not only in their physical health, but also their social and emotional development.
Specialty: Pediatrics.
Board certification: American Academy of Pediatrics.”
The story indeed did not expressly state that the vulnerable patient was ineligible, but since it did say that Dr. Bencic was working overseas, and that the doctor gave up her own shot in the toddler’s favor, the child was ineligible (why else forego one’s own shot?).
I should amend my point somewhat to say that the Obama health-delivery machinery has placed Guantanamo inmates ahead of overseas children being treated by American physicians.
And it does not surprise me at all that Tierra would consider her own judgment superior to that of the doctor on the scene. That sort of mindlessarrogance is basic to liberal insanity.

Posted by: Fascist Hyena | Oct 31, 2009 7:32:18 PM
The name ‘bencic’ does not even gather a hit on google news. What web site did you pull this tear jerker from? Let me guess . ..
So now you’re finally disclosing this is a woman who works overseas – nice of you to leave that fact out earlier so it appears you’re talking about America.
Any other little distortions you’d like to reveal Facist?

Sorry Facist if you can’t get the woman’s name right, and misstate that she is working overseas, I’m really losing interest in your attempts to be meaningful – and smear the current administration with your post.

This is the first lose Obama will feel. It’s only a precursor to next year and then 2012!! Obama the Radical has awakened middle America!

Posted by: Fascist Hyena | Oct 31, 2009 8:50:55 PM
By the way Facist, the Weekly Standard got the story from an original article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
If you had taken the time to read the original source, you would realise that nowhere in that article does it state Doctor Bencik gave up her flu shot for a young child who wasn’t eligible.
In fact it says nothing AT ALL about Dr. Bencik giving up her flu shot for anybody.
You right wingers will believe anything put in print – you should learn to do proper research.
Talk about drinking the kool-aid.

“Obama the Radical”
________________________________
More name calling as political discussion.
Will the right never learn a new tactic beyond smear campaigns?

November of 2010 will officially shut
obama and his crew down, and with it, their implementation of dismembering our American way of life. obamaism turns out to be far worst, than bush and his band ever thought about being.
obamaism will have been checked, and with it
socialist control, without any hope or chance of changing it. Future elections would have been meanless. History will prove how close we came in this regard.
As long as the house and senate are not locked up by his crew, it dosn’t matter if he were to get elected for a second term. By then we will have truly seen that the threat posed by the oil companies and the bush devils, pales by
comparison.

Fascist Hyena,
I totally agree. Obama’s few pages in history will show he was a narcissistic, emotionally and morally undeveloped, and petty little man whose biography made him uniquely unfit for public service due to his pathological drive to meet his unmet childhood needs for acceptance, nurturance, and a proper moral upbringing.
To assuage their guilt, both idiots and well-meaning, intelligent people who got caught up in the words of some speechwriter (not even Obama’s own words) elected a wholly incompetent, selfish, and bumbling fool as president.
Peggy Noonan’s woken up, and many others will follow, though there is little hope for saddest ones, like Frank Rich of the NY Times.

Tierra now says that because the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel did not report a fact , it therefore must not be a fact. Interesting , but not atypical.
Having been publicly disgraced on the issues, the leftist Tierra calls names. Is anyone surprised?
Inoculate Khalid Sheikh Mohamed before you inoculate an American if you wish. Be too cowardly to defend the practice if you wish. Attack those who disagree with you on policy if you wish.
But you cannot avoid the electorate, whether you wish to or not.

*cite

It is going to take 50 years to add up all the damage done by Republican incompetence and corruption. Considering where we are now and the economic political pit dug by the Republicans, the Dems look like angels. Look at the millions of lost jobs, lost homes, lost futures! The Republicans are not fit to be a political party. Hard work and honesty no longer pay. Those who have been working hard – have no future. The American Dream was destroyed forever by Republican incompetence and corruption. This country is less secure than it has ever been because of our crashed economy and incompetent Republican foreign policy. Are they helping to dig this country out of this morass?? HELL NO! Instead, they are obstructing and sabotaging every step of the way. They don’t care about this country. All they care about is regaining power and kissing the butts of their corporate partners! Our country is in a very precarious position, yet the Republicans continue trying to derail the Obama administration – that is all they care about – power, not country!! It is impossible to overestimate the damage done by the Republicans. Just ask those who have lost their futures – forever!

‘Obama’s few pages in history will show he was a narcissistic, emotionally and morally undeveloped, and petty little man whose biography made him uniquely unfit for public service due to his pathological drive to meet his unmet childhood needs for acceptance, nurturance, and a proper moral upbringing.”
So we have a new self-made Dr Phil of right-wing psycho-analytical propaganda. What do you mean ‘history’ anyway? Fox wrote this bio before Obama was even inaugurated.

It is Bush & Cheney who treated us like children. They owned the most corrupt and incompetent administration in U.S. history and laughed in our faces as they broke domestic and international law and violated international treaties – all along with massive Constitutional breaches. Yet, Republican supporters ignore all this corruption and pretend it never took place! We will never allow that to happen again – even if it takes civil disobedience to correct the situation!

Sentinel- if anyone is avoiding corruption it is the Dems . How many Dems are under ethics investigation and are still Committee chairs? Dodd was cleared by a committee that reviewed 18000 pages of evidence but couldn’t read a 1000 pages stimulus bill. The Republican locked up many corrupt Congressmen but Holder seems to be on;y interested in dropping voting rights intimidation charges against the new black panther party. The Dems are the most corrupt we’ve seen in a long time and pelosi, reid and Obama all failed miserable in good govt in DC. The need to be all voted out before they make us a banana republic.

Congress should be concerned..We the people pay their salaries only to be called names because of attending tea party or town hall meetings…Congress has forgotten who they represent and who pays their salaries..As with any employment, if you don’t perform the duties you were hired for..you are fired…Come 2010 there will be change…Enjoy what’s left of your term in office

Sentinel- when I see people like Murtha , Rangel and Waters put in jail then I’ll believe the Dems are interested in fighting corruption. Until then Pelosi, Reid and the like give lip service to fighting corruption while Obama excuses every ethics violating person that he hires. You are the one with blinder that think the Dems can do no wrong. Remember the Republicans are not running the show and they did put a lot of their own in jail whether you recogninze it or not. Just keep burying your head in the sand and keep drinking the kool aid.

I thought you were doing a great job. Unfortunately I’m very distracted. The Yankees are refusing to lose the World Series.

Perhaps Newt Gingrich should switch over to the Democrat Socialist Party, frankly there is no need for two faced Republicans in the Republican Party, he should take Christ, Graham, McCain and the Terminator with him.

MayBee posted “Obviously, the Republicans spent too much…but they haven’t controlled Congress in almost 3 years. Bush has been out of office 9 months.
How long can Democrats go without claiming responsibility for something?”
—————————————————
I’m still waiting for the Republicans to claim responsibility for something?” Most of them claim the same old BS story about how everything went bad after the Democrats took control.
You are acting like the prior 6 years of total Republican control had absolutely zero effect on our country. BS!
Secondly, the Democrats only had a simple majority, not enough votes to overcome the RECORD number of Republican filibusters, not enough votes to override Bush’s many vetoes.
So please tell us all how the Democrats caused all the problems. Cause and effect.

Don’t be too concerned . . . there was a twelve point drop in Ronald Reagan’s approval rating by the fall of his first year in office, and he too was grappling with a bad economy.
In fact Reagan’s approval numbers were almost exactly the same as Obama’s in the spring and fall of his first inaugural year.

Whenever I hear the Federal Reserve data and Consumer Sentiment and unemployment figures I think just as any American citizen that the country is headed in the wrong direction just as opinion polls currently confirm. There is a very massive and implicating economic piece of reality that I think the politicians should spend more time addressing and solving. That is to say a family of four living in a home anywhere in our nation finds it next to impossible to keep up with expenses considering even a modest lifestyle. How many years is it going to be that we cannot go out to dinner or even take a car trip? We as Americans are living in a suitcase of frugality. Some families are working two jobs and have credit card dept to handcuff them as well.Life in The United States- not very enjoyable now unless you are a plumber or an electrician.

“You really need to take a history class, there were many reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union. A long prolonged occupation of Afghanistan comes first to my memory.
How’s that working out for us?”
Let me get this straight: The Berlin Wall came down, Eastern Europe was liberated, and the Soviet Union dissolved because it had troops in Afghanistan for eight years? Where might I take a history class that would teach me that lesson?
It appears to me that an occupation of Afghanistan isn’t working well at all. Wisely, Bush never attempted it: he was content to topple the Taliban and deny Al Qaeda it’s use for training terrorists.
Now Obama has given us his new occupation strategy, announced with great fanfare less than seven months ago. And we are presented with the disgraceful public spectacle of his agonizing over how to confront his own failure, while American troops continue to die while awaiting his decision.
All in all, I’d say the occupation of Afghanistan is not going well at all for us. But you’ll have to talk to Obama about that one.

Fascist Hyena posted “It appears to me that an occupation of Afghanistan isn’t working well at all. Wisely, Bush never attempted it: he was content to topple the Taliban and deny Al Qaeda it’s use for training terrorists.”
So once they were booted out, why didn’t we leave? It is comical to hear you defend Bush for being in Afghanistan for 7+ years but condemn Obama for his 7+ MONTHS.
I agreed with Bush’s decision to go into Afghanistan to get Al Qaeda an the Taliban. But it was also his idea to put Afghanistan on the back burners to needlessly invade Iraq.
And yes, it is Obama’s problem now. Quagmires are easy to get into and very hard to get out of. Keep that in mind the next time you berate Obama. Would you like his job? I wouldn’t.

Fascist Hyena posted “But let us again hear some more howlers about how its Afghan adventure brought down the USSR.”
Again you are missing what I said. I said it was ONE of the factors, not the only one. It weakened their military, it weakened their economy.
Let’s here some more of your howlers about how RR all by himself brought down the Soviet Union. Let’s tell my uncle who died in Korea that he wasted his life; all the US had to do was to wait until RR said “tear down that wall” Tell all of those who died in Vietnam that the strategy of containment was a waste of time. All we needed was to have RR say those magic words.
Well, I think we’re the only ones left and it is getting late. Don’t forget to turn back your clock. Nice debating with you, but I have to call it a night now.
Bye

If you think they are disappointed now wait until 2012.
Throw in “Repeal” and they will all look back and ask “where did things go so wrong?”

Quagmires are easy to get into and very hard to get out of. Keep that in mind the next time you berate Obama. Would you like his job? I wouldn’t.

Good point, and nice posts all around. It’s always nice to see intelligent posts on here.

With Scozzafava now bowing out of the NY23 race, there are two dramatic implications of any non-Dem victories on Tuesday:
1) The National Republican party has been put on notice by right-thinking conservatives: They run liberal Republicans at their own peril. The majority (used to be called the “Silent Majority”) has spoken: conservatism is once again on the ascendancy.
2) Moderate (Blue Dog) Democrats from moderate or moderate-to-conservative districts had better jump off the Obama/Pelosi bandwagon, and fast. If they’re seen as supporting the radical philosophies of this Administration, they will be sent home decisively in 2012.
Obama will get the message, even if he protests to the contrary: the only question is, will he continue his arrogant, radical march towards the far left, to the great detriment of his country an his party.
My bet is, he will. And that 2012 will be far more right-headed than even 1994.

“Let’s here some more of your howlers about how RR all by himself brought down the Soviet Union.”
You won’t hear any such howlers from me. There is much credit to be assigned, including credit to Harry Truman, George C. Marshall, George Kennan, Ike and Jfk (and none at all to the dolt Carter).
But RR was indeed the proximate cause, and although his Berlin Wall speech was stirring and historic, it was his introduction of the Pershing missiles to western Europe and his tenacious pursuit of a missile defense system that were the tipping point for the Soviets. As they have acknowledged, those two events forced them to recognize that their sclerotic economic system simply couldn’t continue to compete wit the US.

Obama. Would you like his job? I wouldn’t.
==========
*He* wanted the job. Quite badly, if I recall correctly. Seemed to think he’d do a great job at it, and had no problem berating previous Presidents for the jobs they did.
Obama wanted the job so badly, he spent over a half a billion dollars to get it. And now he’s about 20% of the way through his term. This is what he wanted, and being criticized comes along with it.

Hillary said “We tax everything that moves or doesn’t move”.
And ACORN drags everything that moves or doesn’t move to the polls.
As long as it’s a vote for the Democrats.

On Afghanistan:
“What began as an almost reflex debating stance on the campaign trail – that George W. Bush had started the wrong war in Iraq and that Hillary Clinton had voted for it – has brought us to this moment,” says Daniel Markey at the Council on Foreign Relations. “Only now is the president really analysing the implications of escalation in Afghanistan. And they are potentially paralysing.”

‘Difference between Obama and Reagan is that within minutes of Reagan’s inauguration the Iran hostages were RELEASED…”
Isn’t it interesting how that worked out? It’s almost like Reagan was negotiating with our enemies before he was even elected… Should we think it was just coincidence then that this same administration then covertly allowed the sale of arms to the former home of the hostage takers to fund terrorist activities in Central America that killed thousands of civilians including women and children? Reagan bought the hostages freedom for blood money.

Netanyahu 1, Bammy 0.

Valerie Jarett say the GOP is becoming more extreme.
This from an administration to the left of France and Germany.
So extreme that Chavez was complimenting them for taking over a car company.
Pot..meet kettle.
Hypocrites

Scozzafava has endorsed her previous opponent- Bill Owens. Doesn’t this prove tha argument that Scozzofava is in the wrong party? How could she have ever been nominated by the local GOP?Is there a local GOP?

“It’s time to elect politicians that are anti-Washington.”
