Wow! I must say that I am flabbergasted by your statement. I am not quite sure how you came to that conclusion, but the great thing about America is you are entitled to your opinion even if it lacks any trace of validity. I would, however, encourage you to delve further into your studies of our current and previous presidents' policies before making hasty decisions and comments.

brutus smith says

 They were the same.

Lucius says

Brutus, I would appreciate it if you show some class and address me by my actual username. I am afraid that this childish game of name calling has become so second nature in the political arena that people accept it as appropriate. Unfortunately, you are demonstrating a major concern I have with politics today. Secondly, I do not think that Reagan, Bush Sr. or Bush Jr. carried on Carter's policies. I was merely pointing out how ridiculous your previous comment was that grouped Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton and Bush Jr's policies together.

Jonathan Beck says

brutus smith says

 so lucifer, I mean lucius, are you saying Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush2 continued Carter policies? Really?

    To all the Liberals that Bush "Supposedly" broke.  He sure didn't cost you enough.  You still have most of  the jobs that continus to lead us into bankruptcy: teachers, government workers, newspaper reporters, most TV stations, radio shows; plus you have enough money to buy computors and post negativity on anything you don't agree on.  You post a series of negative comments about Conservatives and the Tea Party while supporting Foreign Governments and the killing of innocent Americans.  You honestly make me sick to my stomach.  You support Illegal crossing our border and fail to defend "Americans" who want to protect their States, homes, property, and most of all, their families.  No respect for the Twin Towers area and the Flight 93 crash site.  You probably see no wrong with the 170 tombstones that were over-turned in Clyde.  It's all the same thing--RESPECT-- and love of country and our Freedom which you have no problem giving away. 

brutus smith says

 There are people on here talking about having high expectations for President Obama. These people always have high expectations for everyone else except the person in the mirror. You sat around and did nothing while the Repubs dismantled the middle class. Now you whine because the black man in the Whitehouse is trying to fix 30 years of disaster. The only thing you consistently do well is hate. You would rather see our country collapse than support anything the Prez does. 

Repubs have nothing, nothing but hate and contempt for our country.

mikel says

in the light..i think that you are just pi$$ed that you did not have the brains or fortitude to become better off during the bush years.  i hope that you were not planning on that happening with obamass in office because if you did you are really going to be pi$$ed now! 

6079 Smith W says

 Regardless, being omniscient Mr. Obama probably doesn't need to read. :)

In The Light says

Mikel said that "bush never got on tv a read from his teleprompter that told him to say" you are right , Bshwacker COULD NOT READ!!! EZBOB said " I'm not going to live every day life like I've witnessed and the suffering by many during WWII."  Where have you been since WWII? The only thing that exceeds your hypocricy is your lack of honesty about Bushwacker and all of their lies and causing the injury and death of so many people based on lies. Evidently you value something else over life!! SAM said "Obama has done more to destroy the middle class in 20 months than any other president in history." SAM you need to stop watching the "Soaps" and make an effort to present some ADULT solutions, but I guess that you have to be an adult!!

All of you so-called conservatives must have used LEADER DOGS to get you past the Bushwacker blunders, lies, false wars, creating the largest Federal Government in History, exporting jobs, created more billionaires and millionaires than ever existed, and just what did it profit any of you? Also what are you trying to conserve, keeping the rich richer? Any intelligent person would understand which economic group that Bushwacker supported, one Hint, It WAS NOT YOU AND YOURS.

Show some independent thinking and stop readinf the script that your Masters wrote for you!! Any intelligent person would not be loyal to any political party, but again it does require intelligence. What do either one of you get for cheer leading for your Masters? I still can not believe that anyone would reference WWII as a basis to criticize a current POTUS and not be honest enough to admit how badly Bushwacker Played the Role of POTUS. When his term ended there was little remaining of the "Middle Class."

44846GWP says

Oh Winnie, here we go now you are comparing Hitler to President Obama. You are such a low life, do you have any morals at all?

EZOB says

    When you mention "Tea Party" to a Liberal they immediately assume that they have to defend O'Bama and bash Bush and Cheney.  Liberals, "With Me" this is not the situation.  I was fed-up with Bush and Cheney and was really thinking it couldn't be any worse, wrong again.  After 8 years of Bush people had higher expectations and when this joker came on the scene it has become more that anyone can stand.  To those of you who are content with this administration, you are very easy to please.  A cup of rice a day and a piece of dog meat once a week and you'll be fine.   I'm not going to live every day life like I've witnessed and the suffering by many during WW11.  This is leading to conditions never before seen in this country.  I'd say the hand writing is on the wall but it's even more obvious than that..  They are telling us what they want our country to be and you're not listening.

Salvatore says

Remember Obama's speech in 2008?

"I will make our government open and transparent so that anyone can ensure that our business is the People's business," he said. "I am going to make it impossible for congressmen or lobbyists to slip pork-barrel projects or corporate welfare into laws when no one is looking because, when I'm president, meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public. No more secrecy. That's a commitment I'm going to make to you as President: No more secrecy."

The President outlined a clear vision of open government in that speech:

"When there's a bill that ends up on my desk as President, you, the public, will have five days to look online and find out what's in it before I sign it so that you know what your government is doing.

 

When there are meetings between government lobbyists and a government agency, we will put as many of those meetings as possible on line for every American to watch.

When there's a tax bill being debated in Congress, you will know the names of the corporations that would benefit and how much money they would get, and we will put every corporate tax break and every pork-barrel project on line for every American to see. You will know who asked for them, and you can decide whether your representative is actually representing you."

Openness? This happened back in March and we're just learning about it?

Here comes Mr. Obama and his gun bans:

http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2010/08/205_71329.html

 I searched the WH website and this incident doesn't show up. I wonder why?

Wouldn't you think that "Dear Leader" would want to crow about keeping us safe?

Openness? Herr Hitler would be proud.

brutus smith says

 I love it how these Repubs don't want you to mention Bush or Cheney and how they destroyed the middle class, but they are the 1st ones to bring up Carter. Carter, really?

Repubs have nothing, nada, zilch.

re : in the light..bush never got on tv a read from his teleprompter that told him to say "i will change the way the gov does business.  we will be open and not hide anything from the people of the us.".  pay attention to what cafferty is saying.  if you have to replay it!

Captain Gutz says

Chainey (lol)

lead (lol)

In The Light says

Must I remind you that Good Old Jack is one person and did you notice that he also mentioned Pelosi?

Interesting that none of your type, 6079 Smith W, were ever concerned about openess, or any efforts to hold Bushwacker and his crew's feet to the fire. What is missing in your "Ananlysis" (lol) is that the Bushwacker administration screwed you and your kind, and everyone else, unless you were wealthy.

I am always amazed that your type can/could never see through the many contradictions of what the "Repubs" did to the lesser clowns that were/are loyal to them. We know (lol) that Chainey was very open and communicated and acted on the majority's behalf. I do notice that YOU do not indicate when Obama is not being truthful about what he inherited from Bushwacker. If you did attempt to do so it would require that you first have amnesia and then use fiction as your source. Oh, you have been using fiction!!

Exactly what did you gain from your "Repubs" running the country? Where did the jobs go? When did America become a major debtor nation? How many wars were started under your "Repubs?" Did you ever see any of those weapons of mass destruction?

For all of those persons that did not have health care when Bushwacker took office did they have it when he left? Do you know that the number of millionaires and billionaires increased when your "Repubs" were in charge? Did you get your share of the loot from the billions that disappeared in Iraq (you do know about it don't you?)? Was the country better off after Bushwacker lead it for EIGHT YEARS?

What is difficult for you is that you will have to know some facts in order to answer these questions. Do you really believe that the "Repub" leadership has YOUR best interest in mind? Do they consult you before THEY make decisions?

Enough for now. If you can give factual answers to those questions I doubt if you will be able to respond by Christmas. NO RHETORIC ALLOWED!!!

brutie must be tough what with the USS Obamacrap sinking fast and the lib rats jumping ship.

democraps have higher debt and higher taxes

Pete says

Since the Unemployment Rate is expected to rise in August and Construction Spending dropped TWICE as much as forecast to a ten year low, the "nothing, nada, zilch" the Republican's have is bound to be a whole heck of a lot better than the "sumptin" the Democrats have!

Give me nothing over what the Democrats have given us any day!!!!!!!!!!!

brutus smith says

 sam, if you know what the Repub plan is you might want to let congressman Bonehead know, because even he doesn't know yet.

Repubs have absolutely nothing, nada, zilch.

Sam says

brutie I am glad you will soon get the meds you must really need "no ideas" Obamacrap, Queen Nancy and dirty Harry refuse to even consider any thing that blocks their socialist agenda, knowing full well that their time is limited, Nov.2, 2010 Independence Day.

democraps have unlimited debt and higher taxes.

brutus smith says

 After a year and a half of no Repub ideas it was time to move on.

Repubs have absolutely nothing, nada, zilch.

   I have lived long enough to know that a most of the time in Politics you can't believe what you read but I know two things for sure:

 1) I have witnessed no tranparency and have quit watching for it on CNN.  It doesn't exsist.

  2) Now the Democratic Reps. are saying the Repubs won't negotiate a couple main points that were in the Health Care Bill.  I, and millions more, begged them to negotiate before they voted on the billand they would have no part of listening.  If they didn't listen when we were begging them to listen what is my alternative???  Vote them out and get a person that will listen.

Dr. Seuss says

 I do not like this Uncle Sam,

I do not like his health care scam.
I do not like these dirty crooks,
or how they lie and cook the books.
I do not like when Congress steals,
I do not like their secret deals.
I do not like this speaker Nan ,
I do not like this 'YES, WE CAN.'
I do not like this spending spree---
I'm smart, I know that nothing's free.
I do not like their smug replies,
when I complain about their lies.
I do not like this kind of hope.
I do not like it-- nope, nope, nope!

Go green - recycle Congress in 2010!

Taxpayer says

I am with you Pete.  Give Murray the BOOT.  We need new politicians that believe they are NOT Santa Claus and just give tax dollars away like candy.  They all want to be famous as the most "pork" riddled people so they can secure liberal freeloader votes.  ENOUGH.  We are out of money.  The county is broke, the state is broke and so is the federal government.  Too bad this liberal state cannot print it's own money.  Then you crybaby liberal freaks would be in heaven.  Ha! Ha! 

Pete says

kURT,

Terry Boose isn't MY Rep, hence why he isn't my primary focus

Dennis Murray is. And I am doing everything I can to help get him the boot. Gonne help Mr Krabill any way I can

And for the first time I have sent a check to a political campaign. Gonna see if I can help get our Pork Queen Marcy some unemployment compensation!

brutus smith says

 So what you are saying is that Lincoln was a true Repub? Finally coming around eh winnie?

Repubs have nothing, nada, zilch.

kURT says

Pete  you stated" Terry Booose means nothing to me. " He should . He is an elected official. Please...get involved locally.

Some did, & I was fortunate to be among them. We got OUR local elected employee to do the will of the people in a small way. These blogs are useful for said actions.

Please do more than talk like another blogger that posted before me.

Thanks. 

6079 Smith W says

To find a truly ethical president, ya probably gotta go back to the man that didn’t want the job – Washington.

6079 Smith W says

Yesterday Mr. Predictable said: It's Bush's fault.

From the numbers, doesn’t it look like the Incompetent-in-Chief wants as many people dependent on the govt. for their health and welfare as possible? Makes ‘em good Democrats.  

Pete says

I'm voting to give Congress back to the GOP, not because I agree with all of their policies, but to balance the gov't before it's too late

Eggsackery how I feel Stormy. As I have said before, it is sad that I must choose who to vote for based on how to lessen the damage caused by one party being in control.

Oh, and as far as blaming all the stuff on R's for the trade imbalance, it was Clinton that pushed for Normalized relations with China. 73 Democrats in the House voted for it, and it passed the Senate by a vote of 83 to 15. Even Kennedy and Kerry in the Senate voted for it. There were more R's voting against it in the Senate than there were Republicans. So who's fault is it really?

ragtop66 says

ALL politicians are liars and crooks or they wouldn't be in politics..just some worse than others.  I think the last decent one may have been Lincoln.

 Don't have to go back that far pete, Taft, Senator Ensign, Gov. Sanford, Tom Delay. The list is endless.

brutus, I think you have to scratch Tom Delay from your list as the charges have been dropped

Dr. Seuss says

 Sarah, we can go back to Washington and find skeletons in the closet.  What we need to be concerned with are those that are currently in office and get rid of them.  I mean I can name Byrd (grand dragon of the KKK) and he was permitted in there until death.  Then there is Ted Kennedy, what did dear old Ted do? Oh my that's right, he drove a gal off a bridge and left her to die there.  Got away with murder that guy did.  See this game can go on all day long, however what is important is the here and the now.  I say get the crooks and the bums out of DC. Let the past stand on it's own and let history teach us a lesson if we are willing to learn.
