		<description>Nothing is Free:

............. and right now Obamasan is over there bashing our country again and telling the Chinese how bad women have it in our country.

By the way, did you see where the &quot;single mom&quot; refused to deploy overseas?

If the military doesn&#039;t wise up, it will just become another welfare program for single moms.</description>

		<description>No AF, the problem is spending, period. The governement needs to live off less and do less. The waste in governement is collosal, we should not be made a red panny more until spending is under control and waste is under control. Giving the the governement more money to do whatever, unchecked, is just a bad idea. I don&#039;t take their word for it...</description>

		<description>Obama made a liar out of me, I said Bush spent like a Dem and along come Obama and showed what Democrat&#039;s will spend. If lowering taxes will help grow the economy then it can help lower the deficit but that&#039;s not the way lib&#039;s think. All they can think of is raising taxes thus slowing down the economy.</description>

		<description>pat, you are joking right?

During Reagan&#039;s reign, southern Democrats turned in droves to the Republican Party.

Droves and droves.

Do you live in Georgia?

Did you really miss all of that?

And today more than 80 percent of white conservatives in the South now belong to the Republican Party, and only 10 percent are Democrats.

If George Wallace and Lester Maddox were alive today I&#039;m convinced they would be standing shoulder to shoulder with the progressive/liberal/moderate Democrats. Notwithstanding their &quot;racial epiphanies&quot;.

Jeezoo.

But maybe you have a point, perhaps we&#039;ll rename it The Young Black Girl Party of Dixie...

You guys are inanely hung up on framing the context of the old segregationists and the bigots and the reactionaries and stuck on stupid and in the past as a Democratic vs. Republican issue.

It is not.

The conned have barely moved one iota past those &quot;conservative&quot; nuts of yesteryear.

Not in terms of forcing Jesus prayers in schools. 

Not in terms of banning equal rights for the sodomites. 

Not for polluting constitutions with definition of marriage amendments. 

Not in terms of Adam and Eve trumping Darwin and science. 

Not in terms of immoral needless wars. 

And not in terms of dozens of other issues.

Like I said, stuck on stupid and stuck in the past...</description>

		<description>You&#039;re right, jay....but I can, at least, put up a fight.

I&#039;ve often wondered what they could do to an entire country who refused to pay more in taxes until the politicians got their own spending under control.

Could they put us all in jail!!?!! Who would pay for the cost of our incarceration?</description>

So you believe CBS and CNN over the most trusted polling company in the world.  

I think I see your problem.</description>

		<description>Taxpayer

Would you like to offer a different point of view, or are you just wanting to do as you are told?  There is nothing ignorant about the hard core truth.  

If you could just offer any example of why I am wrong, it would be different, but just saying that I am ignorant just proves that you have nothing to say.   

The brilliant response I got from db was fyt.  I don&#039;t even know what that means, but I&#039;m pretty sure that he doesn&#039;t want to address the problem either.  

The biggest plantation in the world is the Democratic Party.  And if you think that they want Black People to succeed, then you are not paying attention.</description>

The problem is that we did not raise taxes when times were good.  We did not raise taxes when we went to war.  

Both side, Dems and Pubs, are idiots.  

But, health care is a disaster and the situation is deteriorating.  Doing nothing is bad.  Anything the politicians do is bad - either side.  So, the real question is which is worse.  Inaction that will lead to disaster or action that will lead to disaster?</description>
