Obama's only been in office a short time, however, the weaknesses are very apparent. The conservatives can sit back and watch how it all plays out. Yes, there's a very bright future for the conservative party.
I think we need to talk about whether the CIA lied to Pelosi,
as she claims. This is a very serious allegation.
You can add Pelosi to that list. If she was truly concerned
about the supposed torture, the time to take action was back then, to prevent the supposed torture from happening again. To address it "after-the fact" is for purely political reasons.
The Democrats would rather throw their country and their armed
forces under the bus however, in order to attack a former president and vice president who did everything they could to
protect our country from enemies who are bent on destroying us.
The left-wing flakes don't care about torture, this is all about politics. Its utterly ridiculous to second-guess "so-called" torture --actions our government took against real "Terrorists" -to protect our country, none-the-less,
"after the fact." If flaky Pelosi and the rest of her left-wing, limousine liberal, democrats gave a rats ass about so-called torture, they would have put a stop to it THEN.
Liberals are such hypocrits. You're all for "protecting minorities" -- but only when it furthers your agenda! How dare you spread lies and rumors about mormons, simply because you are intimidated by their talent and success. You disgust me. Remember, a government that robs Peter to pay Paul will always be supported by Paul. That's what you phonies rely on, isn't it?
The conservatives are regrouping, which is normal for any party
defeated in an election. They will come out a stronger party as a result. Meanwhile, we'll watch the democrats self-destruct before our eyes. There are too many weak links in the democrat party to sustain themselves much longer.
Overzealous left-wing activists only wanted the pictures and details exposed for political reasons. These zealouts are dangerous because all they care about is their own agenda, they don't care how it impacts anything else. Any government officials involved in discussions or carrying out the abuse can still be dealt with accordingly, without dragging the rest of our country down.
We need much deeper cuts, much quicker than the private health insurance companies promise. We can't wait 10 years for this to happen, either.
Most Americans agree with Miss California. Too bad we only hear from the obnoxious liberal activists who want to reinvent marriage.
Garofalo is a flake; mean-spirited, angry, bitter person and she's found a new "cause" that she can be angry about. Like anybody really pays attention to the limousine-liberal, movie stars and comedians? These left-brain types are really known for their critical-thinking, analytical ability, aren't they?!! Yeah, right. Go back to your "make-believe" world, Garofalo. Same for Sykes. Or maybe you need to go back to school and learn about what this country is all about: freedom, free enterprise, freedom of speech, etc. I attended a tea party where there were 8,000 people, and its funny, I didn't see any racism there. I did see signs protesting taxes -- which will definitely increase due to Obama's trillion dollar budget. Where do you think the money comes from to pay for that trillion dollar budget? Its not about racism, its about the deficit, taxes, inflation. You know, all those boring subjects that movie stars and comedians don't take in college.
He's just unconsciously incompetent, he's not doing it on purpose. He means well. He just didn't happen to take any economics classes or math classes when he went to those fancy schools. He took political science (which means he should know
what socialism and fascism is, though)
This doesn't sound like such a good deal to me. We need more
than "cutting spending growth". We need to cut current premiums in half -- right now. We cannot continue to pay what we're paying now. I honestly don't think Obama or the people working on healthcare understand how expensive it is. If Obama
would start talking to the people who actually pay the premiums-- the businesses and the individuals who pay their own premiums, he might understand how dire this situation is.
"Cutting spending growth" isn't gonna cut it.
No, Obama's not doing it on purpose. He's simply
"unconsciously incompetent."
This is funny, the only people who seem to pay attention to Limbaugh are Democrats! The Democrats obviously think they can
split the conservatives by obsessing over every little thing Limbaugh says.
Wanda Sykes has no class whatsoever, she's hateful and angrier than ever. Whiney liberals can dish it out, but they can't take it. They're cry babies if anyone says anything about their messiah, yet they wish death and disease on others, but that's ok. Its getting tiresome to hear these hacks who think they can say whatever they want because they "think" they're
"artists." Ha Ha. And to watch the president laugh at these
so-called jokes adds insult to injury.
My experience is that you go through your budget and make cuts first, before you can propose your new budget. This is just one of Obama's weak attempts to "appease" us. Its an insult to anyone familiar with how government does things; we know better, we know there's astronomical waste. Government employees need to start paying a portion of their healthcare also.
Obama's rewarding the unions that voted for him by giving them a large interest in GM. Obama's protecting the bank and
financial executives who voted for him. Obama's budget is astronomical, the stimulus package has more pork than stimulus.. and when this all blows up, he'll blame it on the people who voted for him -- "he's just doing what the people asked him to do".
