Wow, is this site full of haters!! It sickens my stomach to read what is posted on this site. Hateful people labeling all Republicans as racists, rich, and even going as far as to say that we want to harm President Obama. Shame on all of you who are saying these horrible things. But of course you are all hypocrits because it was perfectly ok for all of you to spew horrible hatred on President Bush. Obama is slowly nationalizing everything in this country, and turn this country communist. How could you want that?
Do you wonder why we buy so much foriegn oil when...?
When you consider the 100's of thousands of barrels of oil that we have lost into the gulf, do any of you wonder why in the world we are buying foreign oil when we appear to have an overabundance of oil right here? Consider this, so far we have probably lost over a million barrels of oil into the gulf from ONE well, can you imagine how much oil we would have if all of those rigs were pumping oil just for us? Why aren't we doing that?
19 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIf Pres Bush was a Fascist, why isn't Pres Obama?
Seriously, all I ever hear about is what a horrible President Bush was. I hear Liberals call him a Fascist and how he stomped all over the constitution and our rights. That being the case, why isn't Obama?
Obama took over several private sector businesses and is now controlling them. GM, Tobacco, banks, AIG, and so forth.
He wants to take over the Health Insurance private sector businesses, he wants to monitor and take over the internet. A bill recently introduced by Rockefeller. The vast majority of the stimulus money was given only to states that helped elect him. He wants to give control of the census to Acorn which could dramatically change the demographics for voting. Cap and Trade would destroy this country's ability to compete on a global market. Obama appointed a FCC Diversity Czar who wants to tax radio stations 100% of their annual earnings to give to public radio. How is that not being a fascist? How can you support all of these radical changes to our country, but still think that Pres Bush was evil? Before you even begin about the war in Iraq, Pres Obama has escalated the war in Afghanistan. Do you think Obama is evil for that? I could go on but I think you get the idea here.
I want honest answers, clarify your way of thinking for me.
7 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoNow that Obama is clinging to God to help his healthcare?
So what do you Dems think of that. Remember how we were degraded for clinging to God and our Guns when things get tough. Hmmm, so what do you think of Obama clinging to God to get his healthcare passed? Oh did you know that 16% of those uninsured are illegal immigrants?
17 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDid you really think they would only raise taxes on tobacco?
Did you hear? They are proposing a new tax on sugared beverages, including soda's and KoolAid!! And they are also proposing a new tax on all alcohol! All under the guise of providing health insurance to 46 million Americans. Hmmmm, Have any of you ran those numbers? Let's say there are 350 million Americans, and 46 million of which are uninsured. Do you know what that percentage is? 14%!! That's all people! What are your thoughts?
15 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoObama supporters, why was the budget a big concern under Bush but....?
Now that Obama is President, all of a sudden it is ok to spend yourself out of debt? Since when does excessive wasteful spending cure financial problems? I want solid real answers from those of you who voted for this, no excuses and name calling. Real answers please? Help me to understand or better yet, give such a convincing argument that you convert me.
4 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoPeople of Mass., are you so very proud of your Rep. Barney Frank?
If so, please tell me why?
8 AnswersElections1 decade agoDo you really think that it is horrible that Rush wants Obama to "fail"?
So that means that it is ok that 51% of Dems wanted Bush to fail in 2006 then right?
19 AnswersElections1 decade agoAre you embarrassed that you voted for this Administration?
This administration has created more national debt than the Bush Administration did in 6 years. This administration funds international abortion and supports partial birth abortion. This administration wants to tax EVERYONE to their limits. The stock market has lost over $3 trillion since Mr. Obama was elected. This includes the poor and middle class. This administration gave the Prime Minister a movie gift? Mr. Obama promised clarity on Government spending, disclosure on everything, the end of lobbying, the end of earmarks and pork. Mr. Obama promised no new taxes for anyone making less then $250,000 yet has raised and will raise more taxes on everyday things some use and some things everyone uses. Tobacco, gas, carbon tax? Hillary gives Russia a version of the "Easy Button"? Are you embarrassed yet? I am and there is so much more and Mr. Obama has only been in office 6 weeks, I fear what the next 4 years will bring. Do you?
22 AnswersElections1 decade agoIs all of this "New Deal" stuff what you really voted for?
Really, Democrats and who ever else voted for Obama, is this what you voted for? Obama vowed no new taxes for anyone making less than $250,000. Starting April 1st there is a new massive and I mean massive tax hike on tobacco products. Studies show that most smokers are lower middle class to the poor. What about your tax dollars funding international abortion? What about the fact that Obama is spending more in his two months in office than George Bush did in six years? Is this what you really voted for? If so, may I ask why? Do you really want socialized health care, more socialized programs, more gun bans than ever before and the list goes on and on and on. Where is all the insight promised by Obama as to what the Federal Government is doing? Where is it? What happened to the promises of no more lobbying or earmarks? Are you angry?
6 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhat about taxes not being paid by all the Obama appointee's who "overlooked" paying them?
What about Wesley Snipes? He is in jail for the same thing right now, should we let him out or is it racism? What about Survivor's winner, Richard Hatch? Didn't he too go to jail because there was a misunderstanding regarding who was supposed to pay the taxes on his million dollar winnings? He is an outspoken gay man, is this discrimination? Why do these two men have to suffer in jail when all of these Obama appointees just get to apologize and pay it back? Something is really wrong here people. What are your thoughts?
10 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHey people, is BH Obama the best thing that ever happened to the Republican Party since 2000?
Oh let me add more, isn't Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Harry Reid, and Dennis Kucinich also good things that have happened to the Republican Party. President Ronald Reagan was the absolute best, then President Lincoln (who was a Republican and who the Dems are now trying to steal as their president) I see victory in 2010!!
15 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhen this bogus stimulus package fails, who will you blame?
Not one single Republican in the house voted for this bill, only the majority Democrats. When this fails, and it will, who will you Dems blame then? Nancy Pelosi? Barney Frank? President Obama? or will it fall on Pres George Bush?
24 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhat do you really think about this stimulus package?
Come on, 350 million to fund treating STD's? Hundreds of millions to fund international abortion and family planning clinics? 5.2 Billion to Acorn? None of this is stimulus and is creating an even larger deficit, do you really think this going to help us? If you do, please explain, I would like to understand.
40 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHas anyone in this country stopped to think about this?
Don't any of you find it interesting that since the government has insisted on helping foreclosure families, that the number of foreclosures has risen? Do you think that maybe it has to do with the mentality of "Why should I pay for my house if others get to keep theirs?
What about financial bailouts, now everyone has their hand out for government money, which by the way, is your money and my money. Has anyone stopped to think about that?
Do most of you think that the government makes it's own money? Because it doesn't, it collects it from tax payers, businesses, and the likes.
Do you really think that the government should own, regulate, and control everything? Do you want to be like old communist Russia?
Those of you who voted for Obama, is this the change to this country you wanted? Has Obama reached across the isle in any way?
Everything nationalized?
For the first time in my 45 years of life, I am truly afraid of our future.
What are your thoughts to all of this?
17 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWas I right about Hillary Clinton's role in the Obama administration?
Hmmmm, I called it two weeks ago. I said that Hillary would have some role in this administration and all of you Obama supporters told me basically that I was out of my mind, and this is being nice. Now she is being highly considered as Secretary of State. I was right, what are your thoughts?
1 AnswerPolitics1 decade agoIs this the change you voted for?
Mr. Obama is filling his entire cabinet with left overs from the Clinton Administration. How is that change? Some of these people, Rohm especially got over 4 million dollars from Fannie Mae at the time when they were about to implode. He is a well known political crook, how is that change for the good? I am confused by all of this, would you please enlighten me. I am willing to bet that Hillary becomes something more than a senator in this administration also. I believe that Obama owes her big time. Please your thoughts.
17 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWho do you think said this famous quote?
The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest government become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.
3 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy would anyone vote for someone aligned with the most hated congress ever?
Fact, Nancy Pelosi and friends in the congress have one of the absolute worst approval ratings ever. Much worse then our current president. So why would any of you vote for someone who has voted party lines more than McCain has? If our current congress is so horrible, what makes anyone think that Obama will make it better? Seriously, I am confused by this logic and way of thinking.
5 AnswersElections1 decade agoMichigan residents, may I ask you a heartfelt question?
May I ask why you keeping voting for the same people to fix your state's economy? These same people have been running your state into the ground and your wonderful state is now the most depressed state in the union. Michigan is such a beautiful state, why haven't any of you considered changing who is in control to someone new with maybe even a different party affiliation just to see what could happen? It couldn't get much worse for all of you than it already is. I am just curious.
