"It is simply too easy to give other people's money away in a democracy."

Wouldn't happen in our past Representative Republic. Shouldn't happen even if this were a democracy where the majority ruled directly. I don't know how to define what our system is morphing into. It keeps changing colors every time it rains.

I think the White House needs a coat of that good Sears-Roebuck paint that won't chip, peel, blister, crack, fade, or run.

The Pres has lost it. He has become the Jimmy Carter of the GOP. I don't know my country anymore, and I sure don't know this President.

Now this really pisses me off!...F***, what is the sense of fighting and destroying anything if then you have to pay to make everything new?

Bush goes one step down in my estimation. I am telling you people... this guy is really disappointing me more and more. And of course when I say "me," I mean the many who I am sure feel like I do.

Complete and utter idiocy. How does this decision to pour money into a country that allows terrorist to occupy positions in its government comport with those who support the "War on Terror?

I'd like an explanation from those who lambasted me a few days ago. How does this square with waging war against jihadists? Freakin' unbelievable.

Why not just let us keep it in the first place?

Any-freaking thing but give it away to terrorists! I wish we could organize and protest like the illegals do.. D.C. would hear protesting from millions wouldn't they?
