THANK YOU! Americans follow this blind allegiance to either party. As if they are afraid to free their minds, to think intelligently and independently. God forbid this country not follow the Pied Piper!

As nice as it would be if people and politicans were not tied up with just a 2 party system, I have no real hope for that to change. I think it would be even better if those that were elected fallowed what there constituants were telling them they thought should be going on and not just being dancing puppets for there party. But that would take more people actualy taking the couple min out of there day to talk to the elected official/constituants. I don't think being elected should meen that is a resalution to do just what you think is right. It is your job to create/enforce policy based on what the majority of the people you represent are saying. But maybe my understanding of what the definition of a democracy is and how it actualy is played out is misguided.

Did you like that rebate check you or are getting? Do you think for one minute that the Democrats will be doing the same thing? Most likely not. Oh by the way, the morning new this morning said that the leading indicators shows a UP swing in the Ecomony.

There a number of reason why we are on this course that someday will bring on a situation that many of us will not like. Then we will scratch our head and wonder, "what did we do to deserve this?"

We are stuck on the two party system because we support our party regardless of what our politicians say and not do. We do not have a mind of our own, we follow and swear that the other party is the one to blame for our high taxes, fighting a war that who knows why we are, and a national debt that runs in the trillions. We borrow from communist China by the millions and millions.

Some of us believe in conservatism when it involves our own citizens. No social programs, don't help the poor, no retraining due to job loss. But......when it comes time to give money, aid, food, rebuild their homes and on and on, the same folks that say no to it's own citizens will give to those nations that, on most occasion literally, spit on the United States Of America.

We have plenty of oil but our leaders rather depend on other nations to supply us and be at their mercy.

Simply stated, we need to take care of our own country before we meddle into other countries clan problems. We need to stop giving money to other countries on the pretense of helping the starving people, but winds up with the dictators of that country.

The leaders, and I use the term very loosely, could care less about the military of this nation. They would rather give money to North Korea on the pretense of helping it's starving citizens, but in reality the money feeds its million member army, and our military veterans are on the verge of starvaiton.Semper Fidelis. Blackcoat.

What part of "want" or "increase" or "lower" do you not understand.
  • Where has anyone said anything about "eliminating" your taxes?
  • You paid "less" under this administration than you would have under liberal.FACT!
  • You got 2 (count them) two tax rebates under this administration
  • Democrats "OPPOSED" (i.e. they wanted to "keep" those taxes).
Here is another word for you and it "truely does apply to you".

Liberal AKA "Clueless"

PS: We have not been attacked since the 911 attack, thanks to this administration and their taking it too terrorists, AND terrorists have tried. Under liberals, we might be having to learn a new Arab language. Roll Eyes

I hate to break it to you mouse but that was 3 administrations ago. AND we have less taxes thanks to conservatives than we for damn sure would have under farking liberals. That's a fact you can take to the bank! Hell Obama's only "running" for president and he's already talking about "raising" taxes.
quote:
According to the National Taxpayers Union, Obama has proposed at least $287 billion a year in new government spending. He also co-sponsored a Senate bill to spend at least $845 billion a year to fight global poverty.
AND get this
quote:
It took a couple of tries, but CNN "American Morning" co-anchor John Roberts got Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama to admit what people probably already knew - Obama wants to raise taxes.

Obama appeared in an interview with Roberts on the January 9 "American Morning" fresh off his second place finish in the New Hampshire Democratic primary. He told Roberts high taxes were in the best interest of the American economy.
"High taxes are in the best interest of America"... Barack Obama

While I agree with the first part, your PS has a few logical holes in it. Like, using your logic; Clinton's policies after the first WTC attack prevented terrorist attacks until the end of his administration.

It was Democrats who raised taxes. Bush had no real choice but to compromise. So to the point of your post, it's still true that Democrats "want" to raise your taxes and conservatives "want" to lower your taxes.

It is "clear" by historical record that Bush did not "WANT" to raise taxes. That is something you NEVER hear from liberals.
quote:
Once he became president, however, Bush was pressured by Democrats and some Republicans to raise taxes as a way to reduce the national budget deficit. Bush refused many times but was making no progress with a Senate and House that was controlled by Democrats. Bush later agreed to a compromise in which he worked with Congressional Democrats to raise several taxes as part of a 1990 budget agreement.

The budget for the next fiscal year proved far more difficult. Bush initially presented Congress a proposed budget containing steep spending cuts and no new taxes, but congressional Democrats dismissed this out of hand.
I have no problem with taxes. But I do have a problem with "wasted taxes". The primary role of the federal government should be the security of the U.S. and our military. But you know what the largest line item is in the federal budget? It's Health and Human Services. It's nearly 8 times that of the Veterans Affairs and has no business being in federal taxes, at least not nearly to that level. That is the socialist agenda of liberals. And before you say that's Social Security, it's not included in that number.

So, it's still crystal clear which party is the party of taxing Americans to death... and that distinction remains with liberals
quote:
Clinton's policies after the first WTC attack prevented terrorist attacks until the end of his administration.
You might be able to say that except for that pesky little document from the 911 commission that said the attack was planned on the Clinton watch, and carried out on schedule. Roll Eyes

PS: Mouse! He didn't say "NO MORE TAXES" He said, "No 'NEW' taxes". At least get the quote right. They don't mean the same thing.

The wait between attacks on the twin towers was about 8 or so years....it has nothing to do with the administration, although they have mitigated the threat, it is not over......these people are very patient...in other words...BOHICA.

thinking any one administration protects us is just bad thinking....

but of a dem is elected....AND SOMETHING HAPPENS DURING THE FIRST TERM....omfg THE DEMS DID IT THE DEMS DID THIS TO US...

whatever...these things are planned years in advance and an attack during the first year of an election will be pretty spectacular...but not the fault of any administration...but the fault of a collective of agencies designed to protect us...which in fact were enhanced but not created by the current admin....

but it will be spun up....oh yes...it willl...

whomever loses in terms of party are gonna be the biggest crybabies....in terms of blame...for no good reason other than they can....

party ideology in terms of libs and conservs is just sick in its worst form....

ips I would like to acknowledge my error. Eek.GW1 said.."NO NEW TAXES"...in his speech in 1988...and many believed that it gave him the edge to win the elections...then he broke his word...and that depends on whom too believe..."pressured by Democrats and some Republicans." there fixed it for ya...we know how much you despise the Demos...BUT ya gotta give EQUAL billing to both...

GW1 had to raise taxes against his will because it was necessary. Dem's raise taxes even if it isn't necessary because they believe in taking from the haves and give it to the have nots.

A vote for Komrades Obama or Clinton, is a vote for HIGHER taxes, INREASED government, EROSION of personal libertys, HANDICAPPING of our military, and SUBORDINATION of our soverenity to foreign interests. Liberals AKA Democrats AKA Socialists. I'll hold my nose and vote for McCain. At least he's got the common sense to know that there are real enemies in this world who are really trying to kill us. No Kiddin!!! WAKE UP, AMERICA!

That rebate check is BS! I did not like it and would gladly give it back. They are just going to slim down our rebates next year to make up for it. It is a way to appease the masses and keep them following that piper!

Free your mind...the rest will follow!
