The Democrats have been running the Congress since Jan. 2007, 11 months before the recession began.
A while back my wife and I saw a sign at a stop light for a housing development that read, “No Documentas, No problemos”.
No documents,no problem???? In other words, if your hear illegally, we can still get’cha into a house.
I could go on and on. The republicans a few years ago had it all, both houses of congress, the white house and at least an even Supreme court.
What did they accomplish?
Bush with HIS compassionate conservatism that morphed into socialistic programs like the RX entitlement, billions for AIDS in Africa and his hundreds of billions in stimulus that had to be passed NOW, Right now or we will collapse crap.
I beg to differ, the republicans (with the exception of a few) are just as guilty as the democrats in driving our country toward bankruptcy.
just had a visit from a democrat...”its all Bush’s fault and Obama is going to save the world. she couldn’t vote for McCain because he kept talking about being a POW”.This while she was watching Obama bow on the news. Is it all Dems or just the ones that I know that are totally insane.I think its safe to say that Dems had congress the past 2 years and have been very busy. Busy destroying the country.
Here in GA— Our Republicans have been in power for 5 years now.....this past session they did not CUT ONE GOVERNMENT AGENCY OR PROGRAM! But they created new ones.
They passed several UNCONSTITUTIONAL Bills into Law.
And the GOP will fund and support all of them because they are incumbents and have an R by their name. Challengers in the primaries will be shunned, etc....
What does it matter if they have an R by their name and act like Dems? And the RNC is part of the damn problem. It is a power structure- not representative of the people— period.
But if I am going to change anything— I need to start with myself. I refuse to be kind and cozy anymore. The RNC has had no interest in me until I get a letter asking for money. Suddenly I have had all kinds of GOP’ers get in touch with me within the last week— trying to give me talking points for the Tea Parties here in GA (I am the State Coordinator), trying to get me to join conference calls to report to them what I am doing.
THOUSANDS of people will be taking to the street on April 15th- they tried to ignore us.....but now they suddenly want to “help”— that help is nothing more than an attempt to soften the blows they will be getting from the folks on that day. They want to pretend they are on our side.....We have worked our tails off for 6 weeks- then 7-12 days before the event they want to jump in and steer?
NOT HERE IN GA! NO WAY!
For now on— I will not have myself to blame at all— ONLY THEM...Read my tag line— when I speak on the 15th— THEY WILL HERE THUNDER!
President Herbert Hoover campaigned on promises to raise tariffs and was elected with a Republican majority in Congress. He spoke against the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, before he signed it. Smoot was a Republican, and Hawley was also a Republican.
The same favored constituents contribute to and control both political parties in many ways. They are more loyal to their special interests than to our Nation.
This deserves a bump
In 1999, they repeal Glass-Steagall
In 2002, the pass SOX.
And we wonder why the boom ended.
