GOP Governors

Democrats already screwed it up its just that the majority of the main stream media stations never reported the truth. Go to youtube and search for "Timeline shows Bush, McCain warning Dems of financial mess" and this "Shocking Video Unearthed Democrats in their own words Covering up the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Scam that caused our Economic Crisis" you can not argue with video and audio of Democrats in their own words screwing the whole world up .

The three things that the republicans need to survive are acceptance, acceptance and acceptance. The three things that the conservative wing of the party will never permit is acceptance, acceptance and acceptance. Until things change the republicans will be confined to irrelevancy. That is, unless and until we democrats screw it up again.

Um...yeah Jordan. Your serious misrepresentation of history and the very disjointed way you express it is why the GOP is not in power. And before you say it - I am an Independent, not a Democrat.

Abraham Lincoln did not start the American Civil War - hotheads in South Carolina did by firing on Fort Sumter. But even more basic is that the roots of the Civil War likely started in the formation of our Constitution - the battle between Federalism and States Rights. Lincoln actually tried to reach out to the agitators to negotiate. They chose not to listen and two thirds of a million Americans died as a result. Truth is, the CW made us who we are today, so sacrifice on both sides, as tragic as it was in the 1860's, made us great today.

Obama didn't cause the Great Depression II as you put it. Not only is he not the President, one man's vote in Congress doesn't start a Depression - plus we are not actually in a depression. Recessions and depressions are caused by consumer buying habits. When they stop buying, businesses react by laying people off, scaling back production, etc. This creates the downward spiral that perpetuates the economic climate we're in. Joseph P. Kennedy didn't start the last one either. One man, no matter how wealthy, cannot turn the fortunes of 120 million people. Depressions and recessions are not caused by stock market crashes, and I would argue that fewer people per capita were invested in the market in 1929, so to blame their fortunes on a market crash is, well, ludicrous.

George W. Bush is in office right now. Yet his name doesn't come up once in your loosely literate diatribe about the how Obama and the Kennedy's caused all of this. When we create a wealth culture that suggests that making money is more important than doing right an wrong, which is a fundamental cause of the Wall Street collapse, when we create a culture that disdains innovation, which is a fundamental cause of the Detroit collapse, we doom this great country to fail. Our economic situation right now rivals that of 3d world emerging markets that suffer from a lack of transparency and moral hazards in their financial systems. Part of this blame gets to go to your party, the GOP, some to the Dems, but all of it get to go to folks, like you, who turn a blind eye to why things like this happen in favor of empty rhetoric that has not remotely served Joe Q Public for decades. Until our leaders, Democrat and Republican alike recognize they actually work for 300 million Americans and not 1 million lobbyists and representatives of a few special interests...we're all doomed.

Get your facts straight.

Our Obligatory Objections Over Obama's Obvious Obscene Obsessions.

When Great Depression II Begins, Civil War II Also Starts. Americans love of sportmanship may have caused the nations final demise. Americans' sportman mentality require destroying its opponents completely without giving it a chance for escape or recover. This time the Northern States are going too far which George W. Bush dare not try during his administration. Such casting our of Republicans in Congress will result in Civil War II. It is especially extremely dangerous for Obama to identify himself with A. Lincoln like using to his bible to to swear in as president. Everyone knows that Lincoln started the American Civil War I, in order to match his accomplishment Obama must and will start Civil War II. The Blagojevich case has already shown the harassing and lawlessness nature the furture Obama administration which is extremely likely to cause great internal confcts in the United States. In case of the It is incomprehensible why a person could wish for something so unlucky. As all of you have already know that Obama has already caused the American Great Depresion II. In the case of the Kennedy Family, it is even worse. Joseph Kennedy Sr. had caused the Great Depression I by speculating and short-selling in Wall Street during the 1920-30s initiating the stock crashes. Today, by supporting Obama, the Kennedys have caused Great Depression II. How much more evil and damages can a family accomplish?

Evangelical backing? fugedaboudit.

and this is a great article in conjunction with your powerful people list and not one (if recognizable) Republican is even on the list.

Sanford (R-South Carolina) has accomplished nothing in his six years as governor of South Carolina. Those that are smitten in love with Sanford should read the local news media in South Carolina (it's a piece of cake using the world wide web) instead of the Cato Institute and Club for Growth papers about Sanford. Sanford does not get along with the Republican party in his own state. He prefers to govern by press release and theatrical stunts rather than meeting with members of the SC legislature.

The North vs. The South. As long as the Southern governors and Senators who are Republican continue to support Free Trade over Fair Trade Agreements which gives the other country an advantage over American workers which in turn looses jobs in the U.S., their office will continue to be jeopardy each election.http://www.detroitnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081224/OPINION03/812240303/1001

I never realized how screwed up things are with the GOP. If the RNC and Chip Saltsman thinks their racially-toned and ethnically derogatory X-mas CD was satirical they need to stick to their day jobs or else they can kiss the African-American and Hispanic-American electorate (as well as moderate liberal white voters) goodbye in future presdiential elections......I can already sense a Clinton 2016 run. God Bless America.

Newsweak = Newspeak http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink

Jindal signed an "intelligent design" education bill. The purpose of such a law is to undermine the teaching of evolution in the public schools. Intelligent design is very subtle, the main purpose of the approach is to convince students that questions that have been settled in the scientific community for years are questionable and not necessarily so. Is it any wonder, with politicians like this, that American public education lags in science?

With respect to my concern over the viability of a Palin run for the office of POTUS in 2012 or 2016, the biggest danger is that the American public has a very short-term memory and doesn't learn from its mistakes very well.

True, Palin is a moderately savvy politician, but she also is blissfully ignorant about the inner-workings of anything beyond the borders of Alaska. She has the faux folksy charm and lack of intellectual curiosity of George W. Bush and the Machiavellian mindset of Dick Cheney. Do we really want to relive the nightmare of the past 8 years?

A nation that elected GWB (twice!) is capable of doing some really, really stupid things. So to Alaska and the GOP, I say idolize Goddess Sarah all you want. Fawn over her rambling statements, embrace her ignorance, be uplifted by her Machiavellian philosophy and lack of ethics, revel in her right-wing social extremism and moral self-righteousness, just keep her the hell away from the lower 48.

Very sloppy reporting. I can tell you firsthand as a gay man in Florida that Charlie Crist did NOT avoid gay marriage. He publicly supported Amendment 2 (the anti-gay marriage amendment) after first claiming to be a "live and let live kind of guy." Crist has turned out to be just what I have suspected his entire public life, someone who would say anything and sell out anyone to advance his own political career. That is not the kind of governor that will save the GOP.
