As George said is some other thread, this isn't the same Republican Party I signed on with. I think conservative ideas hold a lot of water and need to be presented by a conservative. The latest batch of republicans-come-lately that we've seen in the past several elections talked a conservative game during their campaigns and then spent money like drunken sailors once in office. This tired, lame argument is absurd. "If only we'd elected a REAL conservative to get spending under control!" snip The so-called conservatives are incapable of getting the debt under control because their only economic plan is to decrease taxes on the rich and to borrow money to cover the nut. So you agree with me. I knew it would happen sooner or later. By your way of thinking the last true conservative was Bill Clinton. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. Actually no. Newt and the Republican Congress got spending under control for a couple years, and the dot.bomb boom brought in almost more money than the Feds could spend. Clinton was a lucky POTUS. |

The I guess Bush must have been the unluckiest mother ****er who ever lived in the White House. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. No Bush and the Congress, Republican and Democrat controlled over the last 8 years sucked. I did not vote for Bush, I actually voted for Badnarik as both the candidates were bad choices. I voted for Obama in the primaries as I am a registered Dem and think the Hillary is a pox on the nation. Was Obama the best candidate? Not by a long shot, neither was McCain. Obama ran a better campaign, lots of it because he had 2x the money. The scary part is who gave the money? A billion bucks does not come from $5 donations. He owes some groups big time. I actually liked the Libertarian platform better. I just hope he controls Pelosi, the 2nd dumbest pol from Calif. (Boxer carries that title.) He most likely is only going to be President for 4 years, as the troubles are beyond fixing quickly and he is most likely going to look bad at the next election. Plus the Dem's will lose a lots of seats in Congress in midterm elections, and there is still going to be a lot of economic problems. As well as the open borders will likely not be addressed. People losing their jobs to an illegal will not play well. I just do not think Obama is ready for primetime. No seasoning. Is sad that these two are what we had to choose from. Obama in 10 years in the Senate, would most likely be a lot more ready to be the leader. Bush inherited a crashing economy, and actually came out ok on that point. It is the rest of the points where he failed and biggest point was the failure of the veto pen. |

Obama's handlers removed most checks and balances on the contributions page. Name of the donor did not have to match the credit card, etc. Lyndon LaRouche went to jail for the same thing. Between those top contributors there is a large gap to be filled to $1 Billion bucks. |

LOL. Larouche went to jail for tax fraud. He was tried for fraud associated with fundraising, but that did not stick. The charges were based on his allegedly claiming that book sales and 'loans' were reported as donations so he could claim matching federal monies. (BTW, I got this from wikipedia...if you have more accurate facts, I am happy to hear them). AFAIK, Obama specifically did not claim any federal monies, nor did he misrepresent any donations as anything else. If you are making the claim that Obama ran a scam or was somehow in the same category as Lyndon Larouche, history awaits you and your lawsiut, my man. --riverman |

He owes some people big time. We are going to be screwed anyway. We have the Fed driving the interest rates down, at the same time Obama and the next administration are promising Billions, towards of a 1000 billion in new spending. Driving the interest rates down and printing money will cause massive inflation. Maybe, most likely Carter years inflation. 18%. This will do a couple of things. Some slightly OK, but most bad. The governments will get a big increase in tax revenue. About 1.2% for every 1% of inflation. Houses will go up in value, so the loans may not be upside down. This will be the somewhat OK part, but the real value will have decreased. Probably the best thing Obama could do would be to kill the Federal Reserve System. It has no reserves and is not Federal, but controls the money supply. The only way we are going to really get out of the mess, is for the governments to quit overspending. Is not the Iraq war as lots claim. That is less 4% of the Federal Budget and we would be spending part of that money on the military anyway. It is the other 96% that needs control. We have not been fixing the infrastructure for many, many years. Lots more than the last 3 administrations. The Federal Department of Education controls education in the USA. Has not done a good job, but an expensive poor job. Most of the controls are via grants of money taken from a state and sent back at maybe 76% with strings attached. Look at the dismal graduation rates, and the poor performance of lots of those graduates. We did not even have a DOE until 1980. I actually liked the Libertarian platform the best. If were are going to do income redistribution, lets bring back the WPA. At least we will get something for our money. |
