be nice now our else -13
cellila was actually looking for the people who not seeing eye to wth bush like ths
how do you think we got our freedom by standing back.
in the public eyes iraq does not deserve freedom like ours. we need keep fighting the terrorist for the people OF THE WORLD from the terrorist who rule it. and we are not dictator we are freedom fighters who fight for FREEDOM, JUSTICE AND LIBERTY. unfortunitly people lost sight of it and voted wrong yesterday.
and morally we are now also headed in the wrong direction. people need to be responible for their action and not blame it on science or the society.
finally for the budget there goes the state and national level budget and economy and our taxes. people what things to be in place for a better country and community. but who do you think we pay for it in the long run. we do with our taxes, not with the so called federal and state money people think we have.

The Difference between the Republican Party and Democratic Party is night and day. The Republican Party believes the federal government should be small and ruled by the wealthy elite. The type of government they are advocating is not a democracy but it is a plutocracy, and the methods they are using to achieve their goals are fascist. The Democratic Party believe the federal government should be big and ruled by elected representatives. The type of government they desire is the type our constitution gives us, a Republic, and the methods they are using to achieve their goals are conservative. Neither party has been representing the interest of liberals and that is a shame because liberals ideals promote freedom, human rights, worker's rights, a clean environment, and greater economic opportunities for all Americans. However, there is almost no difference between Republican and Democratic voters except their perceptions about where the two parties stand on issues like abortion, gun control, taxes, state's rights, prayer in school, military spending, deficits, and Social Security, and their perceptions are often wrong.
The difference between the two parties is no longer between conservative and liberal, but it is between moderate and extremist. The Democrats in Congress have become fiscal conservatives and social moderates, and have completely abandon their liberal roots. These facts became obvious during the Clinton administration. Whereas, the Republicans in Congress have become fiscal morons and social hypocrites, and have completely abandon their conservative roots. These facts became obvious during the Nixon, Reagan, Bush I, and now Bush II administrations.
The current extremist ideology of the Republican Party is corrupt and immoral, and is based on lies, greed, and paranoia. Their ideology believes in helping the rich and screwing the middle class and the poor. Their ideology is bankrupting our government, wasting our soldiers, concentrating our countries wealthy, damaging our environment, and undermining our democracy. They lie to the American people about their legislation and then they try to pass the blame when the bad results of their legislation becomes a major news event. They even give their legislation names that are deliberately deceptive, like their latest budget document called "The Deficit Reduction Act" that actually increases the total federal debt by over $3 trillion dollars during the next 5 years. They are baiting voter with a conservative ideology and Christian values, but then they switch to a fascist ideology and immoral sociopathic values when it comes to legislation. Their fascist ideology is threatening our freedoms, economic opportunities, government's assets, and democracy, and it's dragging the Democratic Party down with it.
To help you understand the differences between the two parties consider this analogy. A small town has two high school football teams. One team, "The Reds", is located in a more affluent part of town with a higher property tax base allowing its football team to have nicer equipment, a nicer stadium, more coaches, etc. The other team, "The Blues", is located in a poorer part of town and they have less resources to give to their team. But both teams have the same number of students to draw from, the same level of parent and student support, and the same desire to win. However, the Red team has a head coach who will do anything to win including paying bribes, spying, forging fake birth certificates, passing students who are really failing, drugging players, and teaching his team how to play dirty to gain an advantage. The Blue team, on the other hand, has a coach who believes education comes first and sports second, and that winning is only great if you play fairly and honestly. He teaches his players that doing the right thing, working hard, and playing by the rules is where the greatest rewards in life come from. Well, as you might expect the Reds constantly and consistently beats the Blues. However, because the Red team plays dirty the players on the Blue team become angry and by half-time fights are breaking out all over the field. As a result of the Red team's dirty play, and the way the Blue team reacts, both teams end up operating on a much lower level of sportsmanship. In other words, the bad team drags the good team down to its level.
I believe that the Republican Party is the dirty playing red team and their foul play is dragging the fair-minded Democratic Party down with it. The Republican Party will lie, cheat, steal, and kill to get what they want, and this behavior has the Democratic Party playing constant defense. The result is that a lot of awful Republican legislation gets passed that is harmful to the vast majority of the American people. The Democrats are usually only able temper the greed of the Republican's backwards legislation with frivolous amendments and expose' speeches.
President Bush, his administration officials, and the Republicans in Congress are not the only people to blame for their fraudulent victories. The people who fund and advise the Republican Party are at the root of the Party's greedy, corrupt, and immorality legislation. And the big media corporations that fail to expose their sinister legislation and corrupt methods are also responsible and should be held accountable.
Therefore, if the American people want to remain self-governors in a free society where there are lots of opportunities to move up the economic ladder, and where most people live in the middle class they need to wake up to the reality that the GOP has been taken over by a small number of mega rich fascist criminals who are robbing their government and undermining their democracy. They need to know that these few evil people have taken over our government with the help of their corrupt puppet whores in the Republican Party.
If we want to take back our government we need to fight back at their low level of sportsmanship, and that means fighting fire with fire. If we fail to hold these treasonous fascist criminals accountable we will continue to see our government robbed, our democracy undermined, our Social Security retirement assets looted, our soldiers used as expendable pawns, and the American people pushed down into the lower class.
Thomas Jefferson said "The tree of liberty must me refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants". Chairman Mao said "Democracy is achieved through the barrel of a gun". Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy said "If we do not attack organized crime with weapons and techniques as effective as their own, they will destroy us.", and here we are 37 years later watching helplessly as these fascist organized criminals steal elections, rob our government, and undermine our democracy.

Speaking as a fellow woman who has been in a relationship for 4 years now with the same man, I can understand where you are coming from. After the first few months of sex with a person, you do get used to each other and some of that initial spark fades because it isn't as new or exciting anymore. What a lot of couples do is try to spice up their sex life with some roleplaying, dressing up, and acting out fantasies. Since your husband seems to have a high sex drive, suggesting this to him will probably excite him, and possibly help you get more into the mood. In regards to the things your mother told you, and the feelings you have been describing (ex: lack of sex drive, feeling like something is wrong with you), I strongly suggest talking to a psychologist about these feelings because it does seem that you are harboring some unhealthy feelings. Good Luck!

WRONG ANSWER - You have just explained the Democratic party perfectly. People, read "Cecilia m's" over extended comment and flip the words from Democrat to Republican and there you will have more of the truth. The Republican party does not seek to have the wealthy elite govern. That is a LIE. She has no clue about what she is talking about there. Conservative Repubs want to sustain our FREEDOM. That means government is to stay small so WE OURSELVES have the freedom to live the way we choose (that is what the principles of America was founded on "We the People" not "you the government") not letting the government rule over everything we do, which anyone with any common sense at all can see that's what the Obama administration is doing at present. Big government is COMMUNISM. Why would anyone in their right mind want the government to have control over our lives? If you do, then why not move to any other part of the world. You will then see what big government is all about and you won't like it. America is here for those of us who want to live in freedom and take care of ourselves. It's been 8 long yrs. since Cecilia m wrote that comment. Hopefully she has come to her senses after seeing the major damage the Obama administration has thrust onto us in these last 6 yrs! Wake up people your rights are being stripped away and you don't even see it. Don't forget about Benghazi (it's possible not a lot of people even know what that is because the corrupt mainstream media that you watch on TV hour after hour each night keeps those truths to a bare minimum keeping uninformed Americans in the dark.) Let's not forget the NSA, who is spying on us as we all should know by now, Let's not forget "affordable" healthcare AKA obamacare, and how UNaffordable it is! We all know about the problems most people have had with the exchanges and unreachable premiums. It is neither free nor is it affordable. Let's not forget the deficit that has grown way out of control SINCE Obama took office. It has grown at least 8 times more than when Bush was in office. So don't bring up Bush, that only proves ones ignorance because they are only parroting what they hear elsewhere with no clue to what is really going on. And let's not forget the most recent mess from the Obama Admin. Failing to cancel flights from Africa to America and bringing the deadly Ebola virus to America. Still believe Cecilia m's RIDICULOUS comment? People, do your own homework and don't rely on ignorant comments as hers. Don't even rely on mine. Do your own research and GET INFORMED WITH THE TRUTH NOW. I'm not saying the republican party is perfect, FAR from it, I am frustrated with most of the people in the repub party and livid with the Obama admin. But many repubs are with the democrats because it's all about money on BOTH sides. The good news is, is that there are a handful of good conservative republicans in there who want to get us back to the basics and restore our Country to what she was founded on. Obama is tearing us down and apart! Do your research and vote the wicked people out from BOTH SIDES. Vote for those who want to get our feedom and privacy back!
