If we gave conservatives everything they wanted in politics, how would they know?

If we gave conservatives everything they wanted in politics, how would they know, when they just blame the affects their policies cause, on Democrats anyway?

Joe w it is ironic that you would tell someone else they don't know what they are saying when you can't even tell the difference between a statement and a question.

g61022 - which failed policies have they blamed the Democrats for?
I am not going to write you a book since you are too lazy to inform yourself, but I will name a few...
NAFTA -responsible for job outsourcing to countries with lower currency values resulting in high unemployment.
Removal of tariffs and trade deregulation- responsible for same
Cutting Americas mental health program - costs justice system far more than the mental health program
Deregulation of the financial system and tax cuts on capital gains - responsible for real estate bubble and the subsequent collapse.
Funding of terrorists we are now fighting - death of American troops
1983 policy of allowing fuel to be traded as a future - allowed speculators to drive up costs of fuel.

Should I go on?

Brayden, many of the problems you are blaming Democrats for are caused by Republicans getting the government out of your lives genius.
If you don't know what is going on in the world, just say so.

Returning the country back to the past of small government will return all the ills that the government grew to repair: tainted food, poisoned environments, bank fraud, abusive working conditions...

They will blame those problems on "government not working" and seek to shrink it even more.

People in the US seem to be continuously sleeping, you guys keep thinking that Democratic or Republican partys have ideology and people talk about differences and really useless things like that, people from the US are so dominated by BIG media and you give lots of credibility to what they say, you're not realizing that they're using you as a legal framework to invade sovereign countries to STEAL their oil and water.


Republicans and Democratics are the same.. both want war and promote US invasion to sovereign countries but make up by saying:

Democrats supports GAYS and Abort and Republicans don't.

and

Republicans LOVE USA and USA should be the POLICE OF WORLD and Democrats don't.


Really useless arguments like those.


I'm not telling you to kill, to destabilize or anything, just WAKE UP!

"The irony of your question you will never grasp. The more Conservatives want from the government is actually less from the government. A true Conservatives believes in limited government with personal liberty as designed by the U.S. Constitution. In other words the less we get from the government the better off we are."

For those who understand that point, no explanation is necessary. For those who don't, no explanation is sufficient.

Exactly, which failed policies have they blamed on Dems? I haven't heard them blame anyone for anything. Reid, Peloci, and Obama on the other hand love blaming problems on stuff they're inherited.... even though they were all active participants when it was happening.


Update.
NAFTA - Signed by Clinton and radified by the Dem majority House and Senate.
Cuts in mental health programs - please show me where the federal gov has the authority to fund health programs
Real Estate bubble was caused mostly by the Community Reinvestment Act which began in 1977 (Thank you Carter and Dem House/Senate), and expanded in 1995 (Thanks again Clinton and Dem House/Senate)
Funding foriegn fighters... Never heard anyone blame that on Dems. Nice strawman arguement.
1983 futures driving up fuel costs? No, not producing enough of our own energy sources and buying from oil cartels like OPEC drives up fuel costs.... that and closing down oil drilling in the Gulf. Thanks Obama.
