Too Many Republicans Here.
Republican:
Someone who supports the rights of the unborn, but won't fund stem cell research that could help the millions who are already here. The first one to protest abortion rights, and the first one willing to take a life through capital punishment. Someone who espouses personal freedom, and then tries to pass constitutional amendments to restrict it. Someone threatened by government surplus but unfazed by goverment deficits. Someone who is pro-business but anti-citizen. Someone who wants to take away the helping hand, after he's made it to safety. Someone who holds a cross in one hand and tries to burn it with the other. |

It's Conservatives who don't want FEDERAL funding of ebryonic stem cell research, ie research that] uses human embryos. They have no problem with stem cell research in general. And there are many Republicans that have no problem even with embryonic stem cell research funding. The first one to protest abortion rights, and the first one willing to take a life through capital punishment. Someone who espouses personal freedom, and then tries to pass constitutional amendments to restrict it. That constitutional ammendment would be, specifically? Someone threatened by government surplus but unfazed by goverment deficits. A silly assertion to make. In the current budget debate, it's be the Democrats who were screaming bloody murder over any attempts to limit spending. The result, a budget that allegedly cut spending by 1%, but according to the CBO, actually it's more like .1% And it's Obama that submitted the current budget with a $1.6 tril deficit. Not to say that Republicans haven't given in to excessive spending in the past, but to say they are unfazed by govt deficits is just untrue. In fact, it's the Dems, as witnessed by the Mediscare tactics, that won't even have an honest debate about how to cut govt spending. Someone who is pro-business but anti-citizen. Specific examples please. Both parties have passed huge bailouts of both businesses as well as stimulus down to the individual. Someone who wants to take away the helping hand, after he's made it to safety. Someone who holds a cross in one hand and tries to burn it with the other. Typical racist nonsense. |

You want somebody to do your citizen's work for you? You need to start reading history and following the news, not just on Fox or network stations or even most newspapers (you DO read newspapers?) Every single statement above can be bolstered by numerous acts of Congress, the Supreme Court, the Administration (mostly Bush and his antecedents, with even Clinton not getting a full pass). Check out also our corporate masters, who pay off Congress to whore for them. Look up the famous saying: "Apres nous, le deluge". I think it was Louis XV who uttered it. The new far-right Republican motto. Note: There still are a few Republicans left who espouse true Conservative values (as opposed to the Mad Dogs who have taken over the Party) but they are virtually powerless against the Hitlerian machine that keeps the Party in line.

I especially like the outrageous claim that it's Republicans who are unconcerned with huge deficits. Every attempt by the Republicans to deal with getting spending under control was met by Democrats screaming bloody murder. They whittled away until the final budget cuts for the current year amounted to a whopping .1%. The Republicans who were vilified at every opportunity were looking for at MOST a 2% cut. Even Bill Clinton was just caught on an open mic talking to Paul Ryan. What did he say? That while he was glad that the Dems had just won the Congressional seat in NY, he hoped that they didn't use it as an excuse to refuse to deal with the serious funding problem of Medicare. |

While demading the disassembly of medicare Cutting of SS benefits: ( and lowering the tax rate on the super wealthy familys making over 250 grand from 35% to 25% I agree excess spending must be cut, but leave my SS medicare etc ALONE! End the 3 wars, close all military bases in peaceful places in the world, like japan and germany. Offer to leave the bbases operating if the host countries pay the operating expenses. Leave pre supplied hardened bases with skelton crews for security and minimal maintence we can no longer afford to be the worlds cop leaves bases in bad areas like s korea |

End the 3 wars, close all military bases in peaceful places in the world, like japan and germany. Offer to leave the bbases operating if the host countries pay the operating expenses. I agree that it's time to re-examine the US strategic needs and some bases in countries like Germany, Japan, etc should be on the list for closure. However, if you look at the budget, the core problem is in the overwhelming part that is non-discretionary, which represents about two thirds of the total budget. If you put off limits that portion then it can't help close the deficit. You also have interest on the national debt which is growing larger each year and you can't cut it. What is left of the discretionary budget is so small that even drastic cuts in it, which clearly no one is in favor of, will not have a big enough impact on reducing the deficit. Here's another way of looking at it. You suggested some reasonable cuts in defense. Let's go even further. If we cut defense by 10%, that would reduce the $1.7 tril deficit by only $67bil. Until enough Americans wake up to the real scope of the problem and it's true sources, we will never reduce the deficit by a meaningful amount. And right now, everyone just wants to pretend that some magical cuts that aren't painful here and there is all that's needed. In reality, the longer this is put off the worse and more unmaginable the problem becomes. I believe there is a high probability that the period we are in now will be looked back at like we now look back at what lead up to WWII. Just like today, what was happening was clear, but everyone wanted to pretend that what was right in front of them wasn't happening and refused to act until it was too late.

THAT IS ONE F**KED UP POINT OF VIEW.
IF YOU BURDEN YOUR LIFE WITH SUCH THOUGHTS, IT IS NO WONDER WHY YOUR WORLD IS SO DISCOMBOBULATED. POLICING IS A SOLUTION, BUT NEVER THE ANSWER. WITH SELF EDUCATION, RESTRAINT AND HUMANE CITIZENSHIP THERE IS LITTLE NEED FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT......OR A POLICE STATE....TYRANNY IS SAVAGERY IN CLASSY CLOTHING. OMNIPOTENCE AND HARMONY AMONG HUMANS, NEEDS NO ALTERATION. GOING HALF COCKED WITH POWER, LEADS TO HALF ASSED RESULTS. IN YOUNGER DAYS ANY MAN OR WOMAN TROLLING FOR AN EROTIC ADVENTURE MET OBSTACLES, SOME VIOLENT, SOME LEGAL, SOME TASTEFUL.....IT'S A SHAME THAT HUMANS CAN SEEM TO PERVERT THE ONE GOOD THING THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON.....THE LOVE YOU ALL CRAVE. POLITICS IS JUST MANS WAY OF SAYING..I DONT KNOW ****! BOOWAHAHAHAHAHA PATECUM TGITM |

stuff snipped I try to resist putting people in categories just because they voted for someone. I voted Rep in the primaries and Dem in the general 2008. I'm now a registered Rep but only because I tend to lean to the right and has nothing to do with moral issues. It's the choices I have to make from a limited field of candidates. I'm all for gay rights, a woman's right to choose, legalization of 420, and cutting back on military spending. Oh yeah, I'm agnostic too. :-) I lean right because I see allegedly disabled people on Judge Judy looking quite fit describing how they are cheating the Feds, the states, the cities and their fellow citizens left and right and no one cares. I have a lot of "lib loon" ideas, but I also believe that if you can't afford to raise your kids, the state should have the right to adopt them out from under you if you are a persistent cheat, lawbreaker, illegal alien, etc. Chronic poverty chains can't be broken any other way. And God knows every do-gooder since Jane Addams at Hull House http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_House has tried every charity and government program under the rainbow. A one or two year old kid, in good health, can be placed anywhere and thrive with love and attention. But year after year the family courts buy into this "natural parent over all" idea. They will place a child back with their natural parent even though it's crystal clear they can't actually care for them. If this continues long enough, the children will have spent so much time with a dysfunctional caregiver that they are very, VERY hard to "reroute" back to normal. (This idea horrifies many of my left-leaning friends, especially women who see it was one step short of Nazism.) But the truth is nothing else breaks the chain. The worst part is that some of the most outrageously bad parents are so prolific. There are a lot of lost kids out there, getting more and more lost by the minute as they learn how to live life at the hands of total incompetents. Adopting them out early would serve two goals: Society wouldn't have to pay for their welfare and the rate of adoption of sick kids from China and Russia would drop substantially, easing the strain on our medical resources. Does that make me a Republican or a Democrat or Social Futurist? I also believe it's the Fed's responsibility to rebuild economically ravaged areas like Detroit in its capacity as "insurer of last resort" (with an army!). We can't afford let the equivalent of another Afganistan fester right in the heart of our country and that's what's happening. We seem to have quickly forgotten that our second worst terrorist attack came from within. Yet it's clear from the escalating divisivness that some people are very, very angry about changes they feel are bad for the country. The Feds serve as a counterbalance for the things that need doing that bind the country together and for which there is often no payoff for private investors - like making sure everyone has electricity and phone/net connections. -- Bobby G. |

in now will be looked back at like we now look back at what lead up to WWII. *Just like today, what was happening was clear, but everyone wanted to pretend that what was right in front of them wasn't happening and refused to act until it was too late. the seeds of destruction were caused by congress being bought and paid for by whoever promises to get reps re election money. congress needs to go to 2 terms and your out, there should be enough citizens wanting to help our country, rather than reps wanting to help themselves to all sorts of lavish benefits like lifetime health care etc |

Take our postal service, look at YOUR MAIL. Its mostly a junk mail
delivery service Scrap its current business model. go to 3 day a week delivery monday wednesday and friday..... close most local post offices, go to large central ones install big central mailboxes in most neighborhoods. so the carrier fills one location serving 50 homes. Provide a door delivery for those willing to pay extra. Sell off or close the package delivery part, let fed X handle packages. As employees retire make all new ones part time Have your local grocery store handle most post office duties. The new agency would be a fraction of its current size still deliver mail and cost a lot less to operate. Now such economies could be enacted, and this is just ONE AGENCY. Imagine the savings if this sort of approach was used on our entire government |

Oh and saddam the next city to be leveled will be your hometown, it will cease to exist next week. This will go on till you resign and leave..... Of course the problem with that is the typical despot doesn't give a rat's ass about the innocent civilians in his own country. If they did, there wouldn't be the problems in the first place. Obama is learning that lesson in Libya right now. Those that LOST must KNOW THEY LOST. The trouble with war today its too clean, and thus too protacted, going on too long costs even more lives. In some cases that's true. But I think your plan to level Baghdad would have cost far more lives than have been lost in the entire Iraq war. Plus, you can't have it both ways. First you claim that our foreign actions are what's driving terrorists. Then you propose wiping out Baghdad? |

Leave pre supplied hardened bases with skelton crews for security and minimal maintence we can no longer afford to be the worlds cop leaves bases in bad areas like s korea- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - CUT ALL SPENDING DRAMATICALLY You really are conflicted. First you said Medicare and Social Security are completly off the table, which represent a huge portion of spending. Now you say cut all spending dramatically. Increase taxes on super wealthy a extra 10% a year till the deficit is gone. Or until the wealth flees the US for better opportunities elsewhere. Or until the wealthy stop spending, investing and creating jobs, rolling over the economy into another recession, which in turn causes all tax revenue to decline and spending to increase even more. It' bizarre economics to suggest with the economy barely starting to slowly recover from the worst recession in 80 years that anyone would want to increase taxes. Whether you believe in Conservative economic principles or liberal Keynsian ones, almost everyone would agree that is absolutely the wrong thing to do. The upper 2% of income earners are paying around 45% of the total tax burden already. How much is enough for you? Taxing too little has never been the problem. The problem is spending too much. You could raise taxes all you want and we'd still have about the same deficit because politicians would just spend that too. doing these 2 will balance the budget go to fair tax national sales tax and stop using taxes to micro manage citizens lives- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Again, you are contradicting yourself. A national sales tax would hit everyone and it is regressive, hitting low income earners harder than the rich, who only spend a small percent of what they earn. Actually what is discussed in this area is a VAT tax, but it has exactly the same problem. There are ways to try to fix that and a VAT tax instead of an income tax might be worth looking into, but again the real problem is not that govt doesn't tax enough, but that it spends way too much. What was your position on the latest massive addition to govt spending and micromanaging citizens lives, Obamacare? |

What do you think is fair costs not just $$ but lives of troops, families grieving lost members, and terrorists who hate us because we did something internationally........ Live of the troops is a specious argument. We have a volunteer military and everyone who joined knew the risks. In that regard, they are in the same category as race car drivers, mountain climbers, sky divers, and the like. These volunteers were willing to take the chance of death or injury for the chance to kill people and blow things up. The current members of the military are our warrior class. They do what they were trained to do, what they want to do, what they were BORN to do. The travel the globe killing people for their country's sake. For their family's sake. For duty's sake. For honor's sake. Those with the $$ make the rules..... we no longer can afford it Wars are too clean today, the loosers dont know THEY LOST. Take iraq as a example. It was a bogus war Saddam had no WMD, and wasnt connected to bin laden. True he was a terrible person, but so are lots off dictators Agreed. But, like the cop on the beat, just because we can't sanction EVERY thief doesn't mean we shouldn't sanction the ones we can. Those that LOST must KNOW THEY LOST. I agree. Most conflicts cannot be resolved until one side is vanquished. This business about peace being preferable to armed conflict has given us Turkey & Cyprus, North & South Korea, North & South Vietnam, Israel & the Mohammadens, etc. But sometimes... For example our practical goal in Afghanistan is not to win, but merely to avoid losing. The trouble with war today its too clean, and thus too protacted, going on too long costs even more lives As I said before, the lives lost is irrelevant. The interesting question is not that wars take too long to resolve; the issue is WHY they take so long to resolve. The 1st Iraq war took 100 hours. |
