“spmlawyer...Were you this upset and concerned when Bush and his lackies rushed into Iraq? Or when he took his eye off of Afghanistan, making it the "forgotten" war for the last several years? Or when we had bin laden trapped and Rummy and Cheney and Bush DENIED a special ops and CIA request for 700 more troops? Were you?”

“its a speciality of the GOP not to focus on their mistakes and their excessive waste of money, (wars) while giving tax breaks to the rich, and making the drug companies richer at the expense of the people; but to focus on everything Obama does and find a reason to bash it . Its a coordinated effort of the GOP.
We just have to be more diligent in exposing their "dirty little secrets" so they dont get away with it as often as they do!”

Conservative Group: Time To Purge Muslims From Military (VIDEO)
Commented Nov 09, 2009 at 17:47:02 in Politics
“For any trolls aout here advocating for immediate purging of Muslims from our military, take a look at what Colin Powell said, (so eloquently, might I add), on Meet the Press last year:
"I feel strongly about this particular point because of a picture I saw in a magazine. It was a photo essay about troops who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. And one picture at the tail end of this photo essay was of a mother in Arlington Cemetery, and she had her head on the headstone of her son’s grave. And as the picture focused in, you could see the writing on the headstone. And it gave his awards — Purple Heart, Bronze Star — showed that he died in Iraq, gave his date of birth, date of death. He was 20 years old. And then, at the very top of the headstone, it didn’t have a Christian cross; it didn’t have the Star of David; it had crescent and a star of the Islamic faith. And his name was Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, and he was an American. He was born in New Jersey. He was 14 years old at the time of 9/11, and he waited until he can go serve his country, and he gave his life."
Trolls, if you want Muslims out, will you or your sons and daughters replace them?”

“Then why the rush to pass thousand-page incomprehensible bills based upon disputable at best climate change theories, trillions forcefully redirected to "green" energy development with no return for a generation (maybe), with scant attention to REAL energy resource development (drilling, clean coal, nuclear power, natural gas)?
This is politicians representing the government monopoly cramming policy down our throats and running our business. It's the opposite of Obama's disingenuous comparison, the equivalent of government investing in NASA and the moon shot, really an offshoot of the military budget and advanced missile development. This is money spent with no hope of immediate benefits.
This is NOT investment directed by people in the business that know what they're doing, and invest over time in research to generate realistic returns.
It's a pure political play, top down, no input from you and me, trillions in play, government controlled, TAKING money from my son's generation, with no matching revenues!
That's a deal that sucks.”

“Right, BrotherThedore--the President hasn't done ANYTHING! Let's look at what he hasn't done: The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, (equal pay for women in the workplace. I'd want my daughter to have the same pay as a guy for the same work); the Children's Health Insurance program; a temporary extension of intiatives to help small businesses; helping homeowners with refinancing mortgages; reconfigured, for lack of a better word, our missile defenses in Eastern Europe (while not weakening us), while making a rapid response in the Middle East better; Improving the budget for Veterans Health Care; Cash for Clunkers was able to have auto plants and their suppliers hire back thousands of workers; helping consumers with the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act, (unless you LIKE being ripped off and abused by credit card comapnies); protected millions of acres of our public (National) parks.
Yet you're right. He STILL has yet to achieve anything. What is your definition of "achieve?"”

“You forgot expanding hate crimes to include gender and sexual orientation, stopping torture, cutting wasteful programs from the defense budget, increasing diplomacy abroad, refocusing our military efforts away from Iraq and towards Pakistan and Afghanistan, turning a possible depression around in less than a year, giving states back the rights to make their own drug laws, ending overseas tax heavens and reallocating hundreds of billions dollars towards education, transportation, clean energy, etc with the stimulus bill.
I'm sure there's more, but it's a good start.”

“yes, the spending spree that actually will do something for regular Americans. Were you this upset when Bush and his cronies passed tax cuts for the wealthy, (by RECONCILIATION, mind you), that cost us more than $715 billion??? Oh wait, what am I thinking? Those cuts were going to be used by the wealthy to trickle down to the rest of us in the form of new businesses and new hiring. Seems like they kept the extra cash for themselves and screwed the rest of us.
Do you think that $715 billion was 'spent' wisely, martin, or would you rather have that in the nation's coffers?”

“hey harvey, sorry to disappoint you, but no way was that spectacle in D.C. representative of "main street" America. They are: 1) employees of United Health who were told by their employers to show up at these rallies; 2) people who still can't accept that we have a President of color; 3) people who are so ignorant of facts that they continue to vote against their own interests. (Having double-digit increases in insurance premiums and being denied coverage doesn't only happen to dems).

“Hide behind racism to change the story. Race was why O was elected, now its why he's "failing." Consistent excuses? No way.
We don't need government takeover of the health care/health insurance system to change a company's behavior. That's why we have elected officials and their staff to write laws and regulations. For some reason, they can't quite figure out how to regulate the health insurance industry so they want to compete with it instead. Brain-dead logic and that's what folks are marching against.”
