		<description>CARSONCITYSTEVE...LOL...well it doesn&#039;t take a &#039;little black box&#039; for me to understand the GOP &#039;war on women&#039; - when I know that there were at least 200 pieces of anti-choice or anti- women&#039;s health care bills in various GOP controlled States all across our nation. And that was right before the election.  And you either know that yourself and are being distractional and disingenuous...or you don&#039;t have a clue. Now... which is it?</description>

As I said I hate to even mention President Bush (I don&#039;t want to fall into the republican habit of blaming the President for everything). I was responding to RICK’s unfactual quote that the &quot;President&quot; is bankrupting this country.

I should have prefaced my republican noun by adding the conservative adjective ahead of it.

I&#039;m just reacting to what I see, Rush Limbaugh’s slut statement and the &quot;conservative&quot; republican statements that insult women.

Off course all republicans are not against religion, the conservatives are for religion as long as it&#039;s Evangelical Christian.  I still think they didn&#039;t support Mitt much because he was a Mormon.

All I can do is believe what I see. The conservative republicans are extremely right wing as some liberal democrats are extremely left wing, neither one is good for our country. 

I also notice how the republicans talk about the poor, they are all lazy and are scamming society, all union workers are thugs, unemployed people love their condition, etc. etc. What else are I and the American people supposed to believe?

If you think I&#039;m lying, tune in to the republican posts on this blog.</description>

		<description>Come on TM! You are blinded by the light. Bush, Bush, Bush. Get over it. What makes you think Republicans are waging a war on women? Because someone inside the little black box tells you so? Do you know any Republicans? If so, have you asked them what they think about women? Republicans are against religion? Do you really believe this cr*p? I suspect so, but good god people, stop it. The little black box should not control your thoughts for you. Think for yourself. Find someone to talk to. To honestly discuss these issues with. Damn I&#039;m tired of &quot;soundbites&quot;.</description>

		<description>RICK

Don&#039;t you think that’s a little extreme?

I don&#039;t like to keep referring to the Bush administration who nearly did bankrupt this country but facts are facts. 

This President inherited the worst economy and financial situation since the great depression.  He&#039;s stemmed the tide, even with a dysfunctional Congress.

What has he done that’s dictatorial? 

 I feel as free today as I have since I&#039;ve existed. 

 It seems to me the republicans are the ones who want to make this country a closed minded society where women are second class citizens, where anyone who doesn&#039;t look like us (white, male, protestant) or doesn&#039;t share our religious or sexual beliefs is discriminated against.  

Where the poor are considered drains on society.  Where worker have no rights and our military men/women are just cannon fodder so we can act tough.

If this is a dictatorship, almost every country in the world would want this same kind of dictatorship.</description>

		<description>The person who has failed America, is the President. His approach, is bankrupting the country, and will eventually bankrupt all of the citizens, personally. 

He is the antithesis of a leader of the free world. 

Instead, he is someone who would be.......a petty dictator.</description>

		<description>NOZ

The fiscal cliff is a cliff not because of the deficit; it&#039;s a cliff because of those republican spending cuts that will put millions of people out of work. That will shrink the tax base, reduce sales taxes and cost more money to help those people unless we want them to starve, lose their homes and die.

The FED is pumping billions into this economy; they can&#039;t keep doing that forever, that spending eventually will have to be done by the government unless we want another depression or a revolution in this country.

The deficit will shrink at first them sky rocket again. 

The best course is to keep the tax cut extension for 98% of Americans including 97% of small businesses, raise the rates on the wealthy and lower the deficit gradually.  .</description>

		<description>Nothing gets done because both parties feel that winning is more important than making progress.  They&#039;d rather remain at a stalemate and blame the other party when both are truly at fault.  Begin by eliminating loopholes for individuals and corporations.  The GOP should agree to tax increases on the wealthy, but take the income up to at least $400K+ because $250K isn&#039;t much in some parts of the country.  The Democrats need to come up with cuts to expenditures. Without cuts to expenditures, we&#039;ll be having this same discussion again in two years, following the next election, of course.  No one ever balanced a budget without cutting expenditures.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t care who won or who lost!  It&#039;s time ALL of our elected officials in Congress do something other than place blame and argue!  Raise taxes if it is needed but also stop spending money we the taxpayers don&#039;t have! Figure it out and get the job done already!</description>

		<description>First of all...I would be very cautious of anything Major Garrett has to say. Especially in that type of &#039;convoluted theory&#039;. Because the point is this. His &#039;theory&#039; is based a simple &#039;black and white formula&#039; of &#039;winning or losing. And as any rational intelligent person knows: life is NOT black and white simple. It constantly changes and as human beings we must be adaptable enough to build on ideas and find compromises to life&#039;s changing format. And that is the &#039;sole&#039; problem of the far right faction of the GOP. All their answers or solutions are traditional and based on the past or dogmatic religion..not the present or the future. And they refuse to look at it any other way. They have...LOL...&#039;principles&#039;...you know. And that is just an excuse for solving problems in an open minded way that relates to the present times.</description>
