Awesome!

Actually, it was the Republican Party and Northern industrialists, fronted by Abraham Lincoln, who started the War of Northern Aggression.:-)

Provided said "fools" are on a super tanker - the same - a mile.

You know, that certainly is apropos.

Heh heh heh:-) Point taken, rick.

Steve, this is the problem I have. No where in the Constitution does it say that life is fair. The living standard for the average person, how many of these average people do you think long for those thrilling days of yesteryear? The fact remains, the markets drive our economy and the markets are crashing. I have told all of you the I will accept the idea of a Bush recession, as long as you accept the idea that Obama is responsible for this mess.

Ugly elitism and false hopes? Anybody with a little bit of motivation and smarts during the Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush years should have made enough money to have a nice retirement, but that was before Obama took over. It's kind of funny, I am not an elitist, John Kerry is an elitist, Ted Kennedy is an elitist, but not I. I believe that everybody has the same opportunities in this country and begrudge nobody their ability to prosper. If that is elitist them I am guilty I guess, but that would not be the definition I would put on that concept. I do, however, believe that everybody makes their own life. If people want to wait until the bailout comes then they are not contributing to America and her prosperity.

The Obama administration is the worst thing to happen to America since the Great Depression. Wealth in America has shrunk at an amazing rate over the last 2 months. The markets, the mechanism that drives our economic future is panicked over President Obama's ideas of "stimulus", if this is stimulus give me regression.

Once again it comes down to jealousy. In America people succeed and fail on their own, at least that used to be the way it worked. Now, success will be punnished and failure rewarded. Your neighbor's property will be taxed until he can't aford to keep it, and then he will be bailed out with everbody elses tax money. Nobody is sucking you dry with their greed, you are trying to suck them dry with your greed. You look and see success and think "Why shouldn't I share in their success?", I look and say "Someday I will achieve their success!".

I repeat the only economic policy that I have ever seen turn a counrty around in peace time is tax cuts. It worked for Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan and Bush. Liberalism failed for Carter and is failing for Obama. America is a place where success used to be rewarded, now I am not so sure that is the case. Our President, using a time honored scheme of class warfare, is trying to steal from the hand that supplies the economy. You are witnessing the result of that scheme.

The only hope I have for the IS right now is that there really is a bottom to the pit that Obama is driving us down.

Increases of real income (adjusted for inflation) for the American middle class has been stagnant for the past thirty years. The only segment of the population which has seen an increase in real income (adjusted for inflation) during that time period has been the very top tier of earners.


I can understand your need to have to "bargain" over what the facts are in light of your argument which has no basis in fact. Yeah, I'll bite. You're right, it was just the thought of an Obama administration that led to the bursting of the housing bubble and the meltdown of the financial sector and the economy shedding hundreds of thousands of jobs on a monthly basis during 2008. Or has all of that occurred since 1/20/09?


This is more of that "people who play by the rules" tripe you peddle, isn't it. In your world, I suppose people who suffer catastrophic illnesses or injuries without health insurance just aren't playing by the rules, right?


That was quite a nap you were taking during the nineties.

Forty-one days in Office? Utterly ridiculous!

What we have here friends, is a pure, utterly ridiculous partisan political talking point.

to be more specific and politically correct you have rush talking points. let us begin to call this party what it really is, rush-publicans. as for ma, well you seem to be a rush-sycophant along with the rest of the mainstream rush-publican party. and that's your choice, of course, because no where in the constitution does it say that people may not follow an idiot. it's just that, well, i wish the rush-publicans would get their facts straight. it's tiring listening to their lies.
