Yep, miss people with character, though if the pollsters want em, let them have it. Frankly, I would like the U.S. government to go bankrupt at this point, let the religions and private organizations play the hero, and let people rabidly turn on everything rediculous that the left offers, plus remind them that they ran out of money to hand out to them.
If Democrats were consistent, but they are not. They are masters of intrigue.
Ah, and we can count on the Republicans to stand up to them, to limit their damage? Like they stood up to actions in Lybia? Or like they really pushed Fast & Furious which, by the way, is State Sponsored Terrorism? Or like they've been pushing for balanced budgets? (Hell, the reason Rand Paul made a splash in the news was because he had a budget.) Or how it really supported the TEA party candidates from 2010? [That should be read w/ sarcasm; also remember NY-23, where the GOP endorsed the Democrat over the TEA party candidate that won the primary.]
The Republican party is literally useless if it will not do as it says it will.
Why do you want my vote to be wasted?
Between these idiots and the “principled conservative” that protested by not voting because they could not get skittles with their pony, we now have to deal with a much bigger mess.
No, the offering by the GOP was a liberal, a statist, a socialist; how can it possibly be a win to replace 'their' lizard with 'our' lizard?
And don't give me that BS about the rest of the party holding his feet to the fire, we both know that's a load.
Cowards and traitors.
The only cowards and traitors are those who betray their conscience to go with the flow for fear of ridicule at 'being different'.
We might believe you are a trifle educated if you spelled Libya correctly.
Damn my dyslexic fingers!
Duh, He is a democrat. Laws do not apply to rats.
Mark for later.
I have already stopped spending more than $200 a month by cancelling services: some cable, gym, lawn and pest control, home phone services...have been asked every time WHY...and I’ve told them, “Yesterday’s election. We had a chance to go in the right direction, and things went differently. So I am cutting my spending.”
Almost every person I spoke too understood my reasoning, expressed sympathy, and agreed with me.
husband works for Caterpillar in the coal mining division. Yesterday, we took inventory of our nest eggs, debts and goals. We know we’ll be a one-income household very soon. they’ve already started laying off workers in October. Very little hope anything changes for the better.
Same here. My wife just canceled the lady who has cleanes our house for over 10 year (rabid Obama supporter), and I cancel our newspaper (San Jose Mercury News). I also downgraded our Comcast Internet from their Blast service to their basic service, saving a bit more. All told, we cut more than $300 a month on our spending.
It's good that they can see/empathize... but I really have to question the validity of "we had a chance to go in the right direction" claim. Restricting ourselves to the two main parties, Romney was a signal to people for 'status quo', and so was Obama. They're both socialists, both statists, and both liberals. So there was never any intent on the part of the GOP to get things done [that would change things], and indeed Romney was pushed for the primaries. (Remember the rule-changes, the refusal to seat delegates, and the bus circling incidents at the convention? Or the Ron Paul wins in the primaries, due to his supporters successfully rule-lawyering their position that were retroactively invalidated? Or the several states where Romney was declared winner, until the next primary was well underway?)
There was never any intent other than to talk a good game and "be electable", which is why he lost.
Think about it—Carter asked Americans to sacrifice by putting on their sweaters.
It was laughable but downright statesman-like by today’s standards.
Today the politicians want to steal somebody else’s fuel—their fallback position would be to steal the sweater.
cleanes => cleaned
He didn't inherit this mess - HE CAUSED IT!!
Ha, ha! Yep. And Barry Obama told us to ‘put air in our tires’ and to ‘stop using ATMs.’
But to your point, barry and friends want us to sacrifice by being okay with DEATH PANELS. Under president urkle my 96 yo grandfather would not have gotten that hip replacement and lived out the final 2 years of his life in excruciating pain.
You're not serious? The rule of law means nothing to Obama or the S.C. If Obama decided to crush Boeing or any company, he could do it in a heartbeat. The MSM would provide cover and he would just ignore the courts.
Remember the District judge ruled against his Administration over the moratorium in the Gulf -- he just ignored the ruling.
We will go through dark times over the next few years.
“As a taxpayer, she was outraged.”
Yet she is a Dem that perpetuates this behaviour. She was on Suze O’s show and they were both yucking it up and fawning over O.
Not by a long shot. The elites are evil, but not dumb. They will expend much energy managing the decline such that it takes place over decades.
There will likely not be a "collapse" but a long process of decay.
The elites of D.C. will continue to impoverish America with their sadistic rules and regulations and higher taxes.
Why bother? Report it at what it really is 12% or whatever (U3, not the really true U6 number). All you have to do is lower it some two or three months before the election. No one will care what it is now.
He had zero evidence that she stole anything. Both were total losers. As baby mama was exiting, she lamented his ‘convicted drug dealer’ status and said, “but I still love him!” Gag!
