Why would ANYONE vote Republican NOV. When THEY CAUSED the MESS America is in?
Didn't Bush and all his Republicans which were in office with him CAUSE the spending and meltdown of the financials from 2000 to 2008 ?? Didn't they deregulate their Rich Big Business buddies Businesses?? Didn't Clinton leave Bush a SURPLUS with more to come in the future? Didn't Bush and the Republicans spend it and STILL leave Obama a 1.3 BILLION deficit the day Obama was sworn in?? So now that things are beginning to come around, we should put them BACK in charge, to continue FAILED BUSH POLICIES ??
15 AnswersElections1 decade agoDo you NOW realize that BOTH parties are corrupt and the cause of America's Condition?
I finally see now that career politicians and lobbyist's are destroying America..ALL politicians can not be allowed to BECOME career politicians..Our politicians should have NO HEALTH CARE PROVIDED FREE,,Certainly NO PENSIONS,,and term limits of two two year terms..PERIOD !! Why should WE THE PEOPLE give these ''clowns" perks and benefits most Americans themselves never receive ?? Then if for some reason they get voted out as it is now,,they become on the payroll of the companies who rewarded them while in office for favors,,and then give them jobs after their voted out of office..Lobbyist too,,should be abolished from favor seeking..Are WE the PEOPLE FOOLS??
7 AnswersElections1 decade agoDo you believe Obama will call the liars in the Fox News and pundits as he said he would?
The Obama administration said it will attack back FOX NEWS and talk show pundits for the mistruths and lies they put out..He also said he will name names and discredit them..Do you think that will happen?? And he said he will limit the amount of media co-operation of the white house and the media,,because of the Republican and the Right attacks !!
21 AnswersElections1 decade agoCan we just forget about HEALTH CARE REFORM ?
I for one think now Americans deserve NO changes in the health care system they have and need to experience the right conservative answer to health care reform..That is NOTHING!! Since their ginning up their base to disrespect and disrupt,,don't you think Obama should just say,,Your happy,, stay happy !! What do you think ??

The insurance companies have spent millions and millions to create this dissension too.. Have you ever thought about WHY??

If your party really HAD and lived the "VALUES" you profess to have and run on them,,you would be okay..But to ''play the role'' of a VALUES party and profess what you do not live,,only makes your party ,,a party of Hypocrites.. The Democrats are NO better then you,,HOWEVER they DON'T RUN on LIES !! What they run on is what they are !! GET IT ???

11 AnswersElections1 decade agoDo you know that the day Obama was inaugurated President,the Natl deficit was over 10 trillion dollars?
Although Republicans don't seem to want to admit it,,that is the case..And although their answers are TAX Cuts,,The govt.. is the ONLY entity which can stabilize the economy!! Because of what was done for the Bush Administration with Tax Cuts and Spending,,we are where we are..And believe it or not,,there is no free lunch..So down the road,,TAXES must be paid and raised to fund our life and entitlement lifestyles..
2 AnswersElections1 decade agoDoes the GOP Actually Believe its Doomsday for America if the Obama Budget is passed ?
I can't believe the GOP has made that statement..Especially since Bush left this Country with a 10 trillion dollar deficit which they overpowered the Democrats for six of the last eight years with their majority ''Rollover'' legislation.. NOW,,its the Democrats which is going to sink America's ship?? They can't really be serious are they?? Remember Obama is dealing with what the Dominant Republicans spent their way through six of the last eight years..Don't they Realize that this mess is the "BUSH LEGACY"??
18 AnswersElections1 decade agoWill Republicans Finally admit now,,Obama will be known as the greatest President of MODERN Times?
Now with all the positive things he has put in place,,and the positive STRONG stances he has taken with regard to the Economy,,Financial Institutions,,and even the corrective measures with regard to the Military placement and redeployment of our troops to the proper place of engagement,,won't you now admit the only REAL choice America had for resolution of the past tragedies of the former President,,was America's peoples president,,Obama.. Are you now ready to follow his fine example of leadership and responsible actions for America's problems?? Even though he INHERITED an insurmountable amount of problems from the Republicans and the Bush Administration,,don't you agree he will probably go down in history with the likes of Roosevelt,,,and Lincoln??
37 AnswersElections1 decade agoThe AIG Execs giving back Bonuses,,Obama wins Again?
Is this another example of Obama's leadership,when he stated forcfully that the AIG bonuses where NOT going to stand,,AIG complied..Does this show once again,,the TESTING the Vice President BIDEN said would happen? Also the Banks now know the ''strings attached to accepting Govt. money,,and will either comply to them or give the money back..Isn't this ALSO,, MORE examples of ''Leadership'' which was lacking in the last adminstration?? And the resolve needed to correct the BUSH LEGACY which this president INHERITED??
14 AnswersElections1 decade agoShould Obama be Impeached,,its been almost two whole months ?
No matter how or what he does,,its not enough..ALL the Republicans bash him,,reject WHATEVER he proposes or says..Even though the countries of the world are ALL in unision proclaiming a new day for America and hopefully relations with all countries of the world,,the nay sayers cry out..Yet,,Obama plods on,,OVER the cries of rejection..Mostly by the same people who did absolutely NOTHING for the last eight years in Washington but BURY America in Debt,,and make the Rich and Big Business Obscenely RICH !! Left with the Bush Legacy of 10 trillion dollars of debt,,He HASN"T corrected that yet!! Should he be impeached??
16 AnswersElections1 decade agoIf Bush was STILL president,what would be happening in America?
I mean,,would he be saying,,''Your doing a good job there paulie?? OR I'm the decider!! Fool me once,shame on you, fool me twice, meaning we don't get fooled again..And why hasn't he lend-ed any advice to Obama on how to fix this catastrophe??What's happened to him and Chaney?? In fact,,what's happened to Bill Clinton too??
16 AnswersElections1 decade agoRepublicans ! Where are your answers for the Economy?
I'm waiting and waiting to hear ANY new answers to address what the last eight years has spawned for America and the Economy!! Has anyone heard ANYTHING from Bush the Last President for EIGHT years. When will the Republicans come up with SOLUTIONS,,instead of gloom and doom, and HOPES that the Bailouts and Tarp funds instituted by BUSH and America fails. Shouldn't they have an ALTERNATE plan other than the failed policy of Tax Breaks for the Rich and Big Business ??
13 AnswersElections1 decade agoDo you NOW wish McCain would have won the election?
''The economy is basically sound !" Now he and his Republican fellow politicians are practicing the politics that have made the Republican party what it is.. Since they are in the minority,NOW they want co-operation,,and want to DISCUSS policies..Yet when THEY were the Majority,,they Ram-roded all their policies down the Democrats throats.. What a difference an election makes..And for McCain,,I have LESS respect for him today,,than I did BEFORE the election !!
35 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhy are people obsessed with what Michelle Obama wears?
She has accomplished more with her life than most,,and I can't believe all the negative comments out there just tearing her apart..After all she is the FIRST LADY.. Doesn't her position warrant that at least ??
29 AnswersElections1 decade agoWill Washington and America Unite Around Obama?
What do you really think!! Will everybody get behind this president for America's sake ?? Or will it be division and hate as usual ??
12 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhat possible reason would anyone join a political party,,especially the Republican party?
I dislike all parties !! I think they should ALL be abolished..However,,from what I can ascertain,,unless your rich or a business man,,what could the average working person see benefit to be a republican ??Democrats and Republicans alike lie,,steal cheat and use their offices for their own benefit or their parties..The Democrats seem to favor the working person,,but other than that their pretty much the same as the Republicans,. So why even be part of all that despicable behavior on both sides ??
11 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhat possibly could Bush put in his legacy library?
Its understood Bush will in retirement build a presidential library.. I'm not trying to be rude but,, Do you think most Americans will find that an inspiration now or in the future ?? Especially since his administration is responsible for the disastrous condition of the country..And the Results of his ineptness has effected the World !!
15 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWill Republicans continue to be insignificant for the next four years?
Its obvious no one wants any republicans in office where possible after what they have done to America..What I want to know with the shape America is in will they continue to spew venom and try to obstruct any positive things the new administration will propose?? L H
7 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhy didn't Bush and the Republicans try and fix Social Security and Medicare?
In the eight years of his presidency he did NOTHING to fix SS and Medicare..His private savings accounts would have destroyed both of them.. Was that his intention.. And Investing it in the Markets,,would have been disastrous also.. Why didn't he just raise the salary limitations to at least make a quick fix until something sensible could be enacted??
