"This is eating our way to thinness and drinking our way to sobriety." I tried those methods once. Trust me, they don't work. |

I'm so glad to see a Republican who is suddenly concerned about fiscal responsibility.
Where have you been for the past eight years? |
|
Considering how far in the hole the Bush/GOP put us in 8 years, it's a wonder you guys even have the temerity to whine about this. We're all onto you, you know. This mess is yours - you OWN it, and in order to get out of the hole you and your Party dug, more money has to be spent - But, WISELY this time.

She keeps blaming Bush for the Dem Controlled Congress and Dem Controlled Senate getting the US into this mess back in 2007!!!!!!!!
A little history lesson for the factually challenged Raelei:
Harry "bullet Train" Reid is the Senate Majority Leader since January 2007
Nancy Pelosi has been Speaker of the House since January 2007.
Barney Frank has been Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee since January 2007.
Chris Dodd Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs since January 2007.
Once again Raelei is proved wrong by facts sad very sad |

Raelei,the Bush tarp bill was lambasted by conservatives.If only you and your ilk had a shread of intellectual honesty these debates would be less nauseating.But how can a person drunk on kool-aid even have an intellect to be honest with? Once again I have to teach the lame left who controls the purse strings.It is the House of Representatives kids.The Senate can add amendments,but then it would go back to the House for approval or debate.When these two groups of self serving get re-elected for life,country be damned institutions agree it is thaen sent to the President to sign or veto.Bush had a razor thin majority in the house for his first six years and a minority in the Senate when you consider the RINOs.Obama has a large majority in the House-he doesn't need a single Republican vote.He has a fillibuster proof majority (in most cases-Specter showed a spine after they showed him his re-election chances sliding)in the Senate.Bush had to sign these pork filled bills or shut the country down.I have no love for the Republicans that tried to out Democrat the Democrats.They paid a heavy price in '06.Raelei,this is Obama that is quadrupling the total eight years of deficits in one year.It is his signature on the bottom of the stimulis and budget bills with large majorities in both houses of Congress.The age of Bush bashing will never be over for you people because you all sit on two legged stools.Do you wonder if you will ever have anything good to say about your own man Obama.He lied again yesterday when he told the press he wasn't going to use the teleprompter for the first time in last nights yawn contest,but guess what,he used a big board 'prompter instead of his two little buddies.He can't say diddly with or without them. |

Bush's deficit spending exceeding all records and will cost us and our children over the years to replace. Obama inherited the Bush mess, and now needs to spend to get us out of the greedfest the Republican mismanagement got us into. Period.
Please stop denying the mess you guys helped cheerlead on for 8 years. No one is fooled by your whining and your misguided attempts to steer blame to others. |

He will go down as the worse of president of our time.
Here is some breaking news: Jada Grace Larsen came into this world on Sunday — with a $22,000 share of the national debt, a burden some budget experts predict could more than double.
Thanks to OBAMA AND THE DEM CONGRESS! |
|
Give it a rest already. SO, let's see. Obama triples the deficit, then says he can halve it, but there is still an increase in the deficit that had nothing to do with Bush.
Obama is not cutting spending, or taxes even thought you like to think he is.
Haven't you seen Daniel Hannan today? Maybe that would be a start. Replace UK, with USA, and pounds with US dollars and what do you get??? Devalued Currency, Hyperinflation, newborns with 20g worth of Debt and you don't have a problem with that? Village idiot comes to mind. |
|

anything. This poster above who blames the mess we are in on Democrats because they held a majority since 2007 is a typical GOP slime merchant. Everyone knows that the POTUS held veto power over everything the Congress was trying to do since 2006 and that the GOP in Congress threatened filibusters on everything and voted in lock step on most issues. The real question is where is your sense of personal responsibility for the disastrous 8 years under Bush 2? No where to be found. But I can bet you 1000 bucks you will be the first to blame that poor black lady with 3 kids for the deficit because she gets 600 bucks a month to live on via welfare. You people are sick. |

You'll find few true conservatives who supported GWB's reluctance to veto excess spending. He should have been more willing to take on both R's and D's in congress and force them to give him a "clean" bill to sign. At the same time, it's disingenuous for you both to ignore the 7 years of economic growth after he inherited a recession from Clinton (and he was castigated in the press for "talking down" the economy - while merely telling the truth, that we were in a recession).
By comparison, BHO has exponentially expanded the deficits over the next 10 years through excess spending (your boogey-man under GWB) and you just ignore that fact. Where's your credibility? |

What is it about Obama's signature, with a huge majority in the House and Senate, on the stimulis package and the budget package.Bush got back two trillion bucks back from the three trillion lost in the 9/11 economic costs the twin towers collectively owned.Once again these are real numbers taken from the boys at the CBO.Liberals conveniently forget this small detail about 9/11.It was so much more than two tall buildings going down.Frank claims the exact things Democrats are doing now and have done since my birth and blames Republicans.Count the votes Frank.Then count each parties voting recoed and tell me who marches in lock step.Harry Reid was in the minority by 1 seat in the Senate when Bush took office in '01 and said flat out-before he even looked at a bill that it would be killed by fillibuster as soon as it crossed his desk.You want to argue partisonship,give me your best shot.Everything you and Raelei say are so far out there you all must be Bizzaro people of Superman fame.Everything you try turns out to cause more trouble and it never fixes the original problem.What is it about Obama,once again with huge majorities in both house and senate,quadrupling the deficit Bush 's administrtion ran up in eight years,in only three years of his rule.The big difference is these are Obama's ideas.Bush was at the mercy of a divided congress.And Frank,can't you read your own fellow travellers-Pelosi and Reid took over in late January 2007.You can't get the simple stuff right !I will repeat earlier statements,since they did not get through the fog.The July 27th 2007 issue of "Fortune" magazine headlines ran "The Biggest Boom Time in History". So all that "failed policies of the last eight" years flies out the window.Alan Greenspan that same month worried the economy was too good.It took the Democrats retaking of both House and Senate 18 months to crash the boat. |
|
|
Specially for the Raelei character.Once again you put figures in the places that fit you best.Bush's dficits were not even close to records when put in ratios to revenues coming in.Jimmy Carter had three times the debt to revenue ratio and FDR had a six to one ratio from 1936-1940.Perspectives Raelei.Lies,Damn lies and Statistics. |

I rather enjoy a verbal, factual, intellectual smackdown of Frank Raelei. Keep up the good work... |

Glenn, Here`s a novel idea, how about the Government give tax breaks to business and corporations for hiring and training new employee`s instead of raising their taxes. This would be a jobs program that would benefit everyone. On the housing crisis do away with all subprime mortgages and put them on fixed rate ones and if need be extend them to 35 or 40 years. The plan O`Bama has is totally unfair to all of us who worked hard all our lives to obtain the now thanks to the politicians long dead American Dream. I was going to retire this year but now I can`t as over 1/2 the value of my IRA`s is gone. I started working when I was 11 and now at 62 I`m tired and after 1 spinal fusion and another one needed I now consider myself and most of my generation to what I call " The work till we drop generation" What I learned from this past election is this countries voters were the biggest morons this nation has ever seen. This like you would say is how I got there. The Clinton administration were the ones who started this downward spiral with our economy when they pushed for these subprime mortgages. They belived that anyone should be able to own a home whether they could afford one or not. Their cohorts who as I call it conspired to destroy our economy to name a few were Senator`s Chris Dodd, Harry Read, Nancy Peloisi, and Rep.Barney Franks. Yes lets not forget President O`Bama. Dodd & O`Bama received the largest what I call kickbacks from Freddie Mack or Fannie Mae can`t remember which one. They all knew what was coming especially in 2005 when Senator McCain tried to bring this problem to the attention of the nation and the Democrats shut it down. The above named people and more were successful in hiding this disaster from coming to light. The moronic voters re-elected the same people who are responsible for this fiasco.

Raelei logic: "Bush spent us into this mess.........so Obama MUST spend EVEN MORE to get us out of it"..........
With logic like this........who needs retards??? |
|
"With logic like this........who needs retards???"
Apparently Obama - so he can compare his bowling score to someone. |
|
'I now consider myself and most of my generation to what I call " The work till we drop generation"'
Nah, if you're 62 now, you're smack in the middle of what EVERYONE calls the BABY BOOMER GENERATION.
Flower Power, Man. Let your freak flag fly! |

The voters were sucker punched by a man who had a crisis to good to waste.He has broken every one of his campaign promises and in most cases did just the opposite.You haven't seen anything yet.The new taxes coming in five months stemming from the stimulis and budget bills have not taken hold yet.It takes six months for new laws to be put officially in the books.This will coincide with the hyperinflation from the trillion dollar printing machine overload last week.Inflation usually takes five to six months after the money has entered the system before the devaluation of the real money out there is effected.Let's add,just for the prospect of a sleepless night mother natures own helping hand.The economy has been so bad and the foreign policy so embarrassing thata huge story is not being reported.We are suffering from three straight years of what meteorologists call a hundred year drought in the three most productive agriculture States in America.Southern California,Texas and Florida are going to be devastated by a dust bowl that will make the grapes of wrath look like a passing tumble weed.These three States put out sixty percent of the fruit and vegetables grown domestically.So add another 10% to the unemployment lines and another 40% on the prices of fruits and veggies.What is happening on the foreign appeasement programs is a crapshoot.This,friends is a perfect storm.Crime will skyrocket.War is likely.Pick your nightmare! |

1. Bush doubled the budget so if i quadruple it, it is okay.
2. Spending tax payer money is the part stimulating the economy, how tax payers will pay back the chinese debt - is not my problem.
3. Republicans are opposing my budget but for 8 years they did nothing. I expect them to continue doing nothing so that i can implement my agenda without 'distortions'. I won so I can do whatever I want.
4. The media is my friend. They will not be allowed to ask hard questions and if they do, then we must fillabuster with long non-specific responses until my teleprompter tells me what to do.
5. I have 4 years to change the fundamentals of this nation. When the fundamentals are completely changed then 'whitey' will know what it's like to 'suffer without any options'. A black man must fly inorder to sit at the 'white' table. I want all tables destroyed until we can figure out how to build tables that 'include everyone'.
VIVA OBAMA - tick tock, america was such a great nation until they voted for 'change' on a 'hope' basis without a record of executive experience. ooooops!
CAMPBELL SHOULD CONTINUE TALKING....just maybe, his ability to articulate and simplify the message of the american voter will get americans thinking again....about saving america and not enriching Obama and his failed policies.
Go Campbell! You spoke american english and simplified budget issues to the level of 'a drunk'. That is a language obama voters can understand. It's how we need to communicate. |

If you had any doubt that retards a.k.a public school graduates voted this election, then consider this.
Raleai considers himself or herself to be a 'thinker' in the democrat party. That is why we have a rookie who spent 143 days in the senate and voted 100 present at the IL senate and who could not balance his personal budget or pay off school loans IN CHARGE OF OUR ECONOMY.
THAT IS THE RETARDED AMERICA - the kind that Putin, Chavez, and the chinese will chew and spit out in less than 4 years of having a moron in chief of our troops.
The rich can still save this nation if they decide not to spend into this destruction. If the rich refuse to spend then Obama's economic train will be derailed and we can 'balance our budget'. |
|
Your argument is lame at best. Bush's deficit is sooooo destructively large, and Bush's economy is soooo disastrously shipwrecked that the ONLY way out of the mess is to spend - but THIS time, spend wisely. You won't see President Obama spending trillions of dollars and thousands of lives on a faked war based on lies like Bush did. You also won't find President Obama spending billions on tax cuts for the wealthiest, either, like Bush did.
To dig us out of your Party and your President's craphole, this administration is spending billions on THIS COUNTRY AS A WHOLE, not just a few privileged "have mores", or blood for oil.
It is so utterly OFFENSIVE that you and your fellow repugs cannot for a MOMENT take responsibility for the clusterf*&k your Party has wrought on this country. And your unabashed anti-American sentiment regarding our new President and his attempts to right the MANY egregious wrongs your preznit created is unforgivable.
You make me sick, you inexcusable hack. |

Go back to your bat cave. You feigned idiotic outbursts of BDS are soo, like, totally yesterday.
It's time for you to stop being such a sore winner and also time for you to re read what John and DocInsight said.
Remember try not to let the facts scare you. And if you must come back to spew, please will you finally explain how you survived the dictatorship of George W. Bush?
How many fingers do you have left? How many times were you beaten or raped? I mean, hell, it had to be worthy of writing a book, didn't it?
You should be able to capitalize (oops, did I say that out loud?) on your experience and really become elitist after it publishes, hey?
|
|
|
Obama may be worse, but he's not much worse. Why weren't chumps like Campbell the last 28 years? |
|
Please explain to us how your disgusting BDS rants don't, by your own definition, make you the most "unabashed anti-American" here.
Your pathetic and juvenile attacks on others for being anti-American always seem to include vile (and generally baseless) attacks on a President too. You are the worst kind of hypocritical "hack" - a foul-mouthed ignorant one.
As you are so offended and "sick" why not just leave. Your faux outrage and offense is truly laughable. Most sane people who were actually genuinely offended and not just ranting out of their tiny minds would actually vote with their feet and find something better to do with their lives than seek out offensive material. Yes, you are sick...in the head.
By the way - I think you have exceeded the useful lifespan of the word "hack". Maybe it's time to go back to the corner of Sesame St and Kos Blvd to get your new "word of the day" from your parrot masters. It's funny how deranged and nasty your posts become when you know you can't just lift whole passages from other peoples articles anymore and make out like you are clever.

Fine...I'll take it. 1. George Bush spent money like a drunken sailor. 2. The Rep led congress spent money like a drunken sailor. 3. The Dem led congress spent money like a drunken sailor.
What YOU won't admit to (other than point 3 above) is that the current administration is spending money like the whole 6th Fleet just docked and is smashed out of their minds.
At no time, in no country under any circumstance has this ever worked and it isn't going to work now. As you like to say "face facts", get your head out of your messiahs behind and learn just the smallest thing about historical economics before you bore us with another one of your ignorant rants. |

A chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as if his back hurt.
The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist government.
In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, 'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?'
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. 'You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in The last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.
|
|
Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America . The government keeps pushing us toward socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc.. While we continually lose our freedoms -- just a little at a time.
One should always remember: There is no such thing as a free lunch! Also, a politician will never provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.
Also, if you see that all of this wonderful government 'help' is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America , you might want to send this on to your friends. If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life then you will probably delete this email, but God help you when the gate slams shut!
Keep your eyes on the newly elected politicians who are about to slam the gate on America .

The current re-enlistment rules allow me, at 46 yrs. old, to re-enter the military. I am. This has threefold benefits. It will feed my family no matter what the lefty congress does to stupid civilians. It will allow me to be on the side of the fence with guns when the ignorant lefty populace is standing in govt. food lines, assuring that no-one gets more hope and change than BO says they're entitled to. When it all finally collapses, I'll have access to state-of-the-art weapons and commo equipment, to further protect me and mine from the ignorant blackberry generation. Dying for liberty doesn't mean I have to starve or freeze to death. |

This character that posts here is named Raelei? Another Obama lover!
They're laughable. Raelei? Please understand something, OK? Spending trillions to get out of a recession has never worked in world history. Never ever ever! You say spend but do it wisely this time? Barney Frank is going to spend it wisely this time? Obama is going to spend it wisely? Are you joking? This man that you love so much is capable of only two things. One is speak behind the teleprompter and the second is launch borrowed and newly printed money at every problem he sees. What are you talking about? Spend but do it wisely? Government is incapable of spending wisely. Every program goes over budget and fails. The Post Office is going broke. So is Social Security and Medicare. Medicaid is in constant need of federal help. All these programs are run by government and are going bankrupt. I suspect you're another socialist and thus you can't help the stupidity, but give us a break and stop posting here. You sound ridiculous! |
