The Age of Obama

I love how the GOP masquerade as some sort of underdog advocating for less governemnt, yet they are completely blind to the following facts:
* The first and LAST Republican president tohonor his promise and reduce the size of the federal governemnt was Warren G harding.
* Tax cuts do not work unless you cut SPENDING (JFK knew this)
* This country was founded by a coterie of Deists and C & E Christians and the word "god" was not on our money, nor in teh plegde of alliegence prior to the Eisenhauer administration.
* Under George W Bush we had suffered the largest expansion of the federal governemnt since the Johnson administration.

Questions:
*So why are you complaining about [potential governemnt growth under Barack when you were all fine with it under Bush. Whay are you suddenly so concerned about the spread of governemnt now?
* Where was this sentiment when Bush ws spreading the wiongs of govenremnt?
*You complain about socilaism, yet it's perfectly fine to be socialist, as long as it's for corporations, socialism for the wealthy, capitalism for the rest of us, how is this consistant?
*You're worried about tax hikes (honestly I am too), though how can you condemn any president for raising taxes after these two idiots (Bush and Cheney) more than doubled our debt starting this war?

Surely you realize that Bush has raidsed taxes for decades to come, even if McCain won he would have had to raise taxes.... Keep that in mind.

I would go to bed too but I have to work two and 1/2 jobs to pay for my unemployed neighbors way. So I'll just head to work get 4 hours sleep later and go to my main job. Love this welfare state.

No they lll just sitck cigars in certain places and shoot jism all over interns.

As far as changing their symbol to a mastadon the dems don't need to change an ass suits them just fine.

The dems had congress for his second term and a lower approval rating then Bush. If you ant to make fun of his looks that pretty immature I'm just statting the true facts. The democrats blocked regulation that led to this meltdown period. It doesn't matter what lobbyist work for who they did it face it and admit it or continue to lie and blame Bush.

I can't believe all these GOPhers are on here crying already... Can't you guys lose with some dignity? You had 8 years to prove yourselves, and you chose to elect Magilla Gorilla, if McCain was so great you should have voted him in 2000 when you had the chance....

It's funny how short their memories are, you complain about taxes, I for one despise taxes as well, though don't blame Barack. Bush and Cheney have raised taxes for years to come with their personal war, that's what you get when you elect criminals. So when taxes do increase (they would have regardless of who won this election) you can thank Bush and Cheney. I'm saying this now because I know we're in for 4 - 8 years of insufferable GOPher whining.......

Kind of like the dems today anything for money

try to get one bet you can't.

I didn't say Davis did not make millions I said I doubt he did but if he did he was doing his job well. You have a tough time stating facts about the dems but sure can spew them out about the GOP. I did not say Obama was not a US citizen but there is a lingering question so shy not be upfront and put it behind him. Kind of like the Clinton's and the files they couldn't find for months after being subpoenaed. Hillary denied knowledge of them but the FBI found her fingerprints on them. once they were produced I wonder how many went into the shredder or down Berger's pants. You are so ready to forget your party's transgressions but catalog the GOP's. The GOP called for Nixon to resign, they called for Foley to resign and now Stevens. Clinton was supported after committing felonies, Frank was supported and did not resign like Foley over his page boy indiscretions, Berger for stealing classified documents, for illegal wiretapping of Newt Gingrich's phone and on it goes. The GOP polices their own members, the dems police the GOP too along with the media but the dems always support their offenders. Solid ethics!!!!

"wilsan", I read the entire governmental report about Raines, because it was attached to an anonymous email. Looking further is how I found out about Davis getting paid to lobby agains regulation right up to the time he was acting as McCain's campaign manager, and about Freddie donating $250k to the R convention.

But, never losing sight of your main point, it was not the rad-lib press that caused me to cross party lines. It was the same smear propaganda machine that smeared McC, smeared him before he hired them, that is...

Shall we talk about the rampant growth of Credit Default Swaps while the Rs were in control?

Yes, John Dough, and you also think Obama's birth certificate is sealed.

See the links below about the, literally, millions Davis was paid (you can google more about Davis- news, not anonymous smear emails), and about Obama's birth certificate.

I doubt Davis made millions as a lobbyist but if he did then he was doing his job well. If that was my job i would be down on capital hill hustling every vote I could get because that was my job and I believe in doing my job to the best of my abilities. I suppose you think no dems are ever influenced by lobbyists. That is there middle name goes for both party's too not just one or the other..
