The economy has tanked since we started to exchange jobs and factories for cheaper shopping center items in a bi-partisan sell out to Wall Street.

“The Obama administration moved swiftly Monday to downplay ratings agency Standard & Poor’s downgrade of its U.S. credit outlook, calling the decision a political judgment that should not be taken too seriously.”

Smells like some serious blood in the water here...

Sadly -- even tragically -- there are too many self-styled "real" conservatives who would rather see Obama reelected than vote for someone they characterize as a "RINO." True, there are some genuine Republicans in name only, a few examples being Arnold Schwarzenegger, Charlie Crist, Michael Bloomberg, and Lincoln Chafee (the latter three now declared independents). But these days, pretty much any Republican is labeled a "RINO" at the drop of a hat, making the term useless. When no Republican is good enough to the point when some so-called conservatives would rather see the likes of Obama elected and reelected, then I can no longer trust the judgement of such people.

As for me, there isn't a single Republican in the current potential primary field I would not vote for if he or she were to get the nomination. I would vote for any of them over Obama. ANY of them, even those I don't particularly like.

The GOP had BEST NOT allow them to raise the debt ceiling. I can feel Soro's behind all of this sick crafted plan to take down America while Obama campaigns and golfs and BS's.

The one they were waiting for has ALLOWED interviews today in states he is concerned about in 2012. Even with a billion dollars only those in hell are the ones he is still fooling.

The GOP has fixed with legislature in many states which will now require an ID to VOTE in 2012. The Huffy Post/Daily Kaos folks are livid saying dead, bought off democratic voting 'poor people' now won't be able to vote. Now if the GOP would make it ONE DAY VOTING and not for two weeks ahead of time 35 times each illegal alien and paid off homeless person for the dems; we may get rid of the commiecrat progressives.

High speed rail, solar panels, windmills, less drilling, higher taxes, 'investments' in education, shovel ready manure piles, waivers for Obamacare, payoffs to union thugs and WALLAH, all problems are magically solved.

It must suck to be them and live in a nation you hold in contempt, among people and organizations about whom you are so paranoid

They're trying to play Chicago politics on a national scale. It's catching up to them.

Kinda like your budget, Baraqqi.

Tore himself away from contemplating the basketball playoffs to mention this downgrade.

Couldn’t find five minutes to comment upon the tragic loss of lives due to the tornadoes.

Ultimately many of us will have to make such concessions to get rid of obama. But first things first. We don’t even know who all is running and need to get thru the primaries. My fear is romney will get in. We need to get the most conservative we can get. My fear is that the dems will splinter us and game the primaries.

The smartest man on earth has spoken.

Apparently our only limitation to our debt ceiling and deficit is how many trees we can get our hands on.

If China won't buy our debt don't sweat it we can buy it, just cut down another tree and print a few bucks.

I could argue even if we cut down the last tree it's not a problem as rocks would make a decent currency also.

I was discussing this with a lot of people while fishing yesterday.

Even if 1 .5 million of us all peacefully protested day and night outside of the White House demanding Obama resign immediately; the media would spin it and call us tea party racist kooks. The progressive commiecrat radicals have infiltrated from within. They’re gig is up Americans are AWAKE but how much damage can this fool do beforehand?

NWO global communism will not work. It will be as much of a failure as Obama is. If Obama’s/Geithner’s/Soro’s/MSM’s utopian unicorn NWO would be enacted. It would be China ruling not the Gaia loving progressive UN global warming tree hugging UN quacks.

Obama needs stopped— no more BS. Someone please take a microphone and stop this madness and at the very least call for an impeachment trial for Obama for aiding and abetting terrorists and treason against the United States. Giving arms aid and comfort to the enemy...much less Chicago style thug politics of SEIU corrupt union thugs.

SO YES LET’S all ORGANIZE and go peacefully protest DC until Obama resigns. Make Obama pay for all of the port a potties because we may be there for weeks until he leaves.

I keep trying to tell Repubs here that whatever “conservatve” the media allows the GOP to nominate will be RINO socialist like Romney or Huckabee. Anyone else that gets it whom you beleive to be a true reformer will be another joke on you like Scott Brown.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

The GOP, like unions, has FAR outlived its usefullness.

Of course he’s going to downplay it, tax and spend liberals don’t understand what a good credit rating means, it’s all about subsidizing starving artists and welfare queens.
