is it me or do republican arguments during campaign tend to be very child like?

you're absolutely right.

i don't know about republicans in the real world, but the ones on this site are borderline-retarded. the same stupid questions over and over. best is when they link to articles that undermine the point they're making! i've seen at least three of them ask a question about conservatives being happier than liberals and cite an article that they think illustrates this point. but the article really makes the subtle point that republicans are somewhat more prone to rationalizing selfish behavior than liberals are. none of them seem to be able to comprehend that aspect, though a number of conservative bloggers are really angry about this and have written at length about it. as for the obsessive anti-obama types, the less said about them the better. for "community guidelines" reasons.

Actually, nominal GDP progress is three.nine%. That approach GDP progress earlier than inflation. The Obama management claims inflation is a million% consistent with 12 months. a million. Do you feel feel inflation is a million% a 12 months? If so, i feel your really probably essentially the most conveniently....fooled...character on this planet. two. The economic system remains to be contracting. three. The percent of Americans running is falling every month four. Feburarys debt was once the maximum its been considering that the 2008 cave in. five. Inflation is extra alongside the traces of eight-10% 7. That approach -6% consistent with 12 months gdp. eight. On best of that, traditional family earnings is falling. nine. Need i am going on? 10. $a million.two Trillion greenback deficits eleven. $five a gallon fuel 12. If you feel fuel costs are prime now, simply wait...

Taking the 'Pollyanna' approach to finding solutions to today's world crisis is a mistake. As to the claims you make referring to Michele's statements being a misrepresentation of the intent, I am, as a conservative, am somewhat persuaded that you may have a point. I believe that there is much misinformation and interpretation on both parties. I long for the day that the American people will wake up and demand more from their candidates than rhetoric, trite statements and demand solutions to the issues that will affect us for generations to come. There are enough mistakes on both parties that have been made that if we simply 'point fingers' and taking the prideful stance that anyone party has the answers to these trying times is a little too arrogant for me. We as a people have lost our way , losing the sight of 'principles' that can carry us, in spite of the events and forces that come our way. Please, can reason and logic take a more prominent place in our discussion, when it comes to our country's future?

Compared to what?

Compared to Obama's meaningless rhetoric, the GOP is launching McCain's Common Sense Revolution. It will be biggest single event since the American Revolution. It will be hailed around the country because it will save America from the Bush years. The Iraq War will end, the Afghanistan War will be won, Troops will come home, through McCain's ingenious economic system the economy will strengthen, the borders will be secure, the immigration crisis will be solved, there will be health care for every American, Social Security will be solvent for generations to come, the fiscal deficit will be erased, the national debt will be cut to one billion dollars, and the American dollar will be strengthened casing gas prices to drop to $1.20/ gallon.

When it comes to politics, things can get very petty...on both sides.

Often, when people don't want to research they throw out an insult - again, on both sides.

Make a reasoned assertion...okay. Here goes:

I would not vote for Obama because he has said he will raise taxes, because he would gut the military, because of his stance on partial birth abortion, because of his vote against evaluating government programs for effectiveness and because his voting record indicates he would be for open borders. I don't like his health care plan either. I would also like to see someone with more experience and maturity.

I will vote Ron Paul because he would work to cut government waste, bring our troops home and strengthen our national defense. He is an economic scholar with 30+ years of experience as a Statesman. He is a veteran and physician with a solid plan to resolve our health care issues. He would work to end subsidies for illegal immigration but would welcome legal immigrants who are good for America and are eager to learn English.

Retired, I'm not sure I agree with you on McCain. He has said he has a relatively poor understanding of the economy as evidenced by his statement that it would be great if we could get the interest rate to 0% (which means the dollar would have 0 value).

From what you are saying, it sounds like you're talking about Ron Paul. In fact, his book "The Revolution" just came out where he discusses some of these very issues like scaling back government and letting the free market do its thing.

Democrat or republican doesn't matter they all act like children, at times, during elections especially.

yes the Republican brand is no more it's just a bunch of crap B.S. they only want to smear they rant about thing like flag pins, putting your hand over your nipple when saluting the flag do Mechelle Obama like white peoples these are silly none issues that this country faces . this is why they will lose the presidency and many seats in the house and senate come November .

If they can not take the heat get out of fire.

Have we had another attack since 9/11 NO

and who Intell was that ,maybe these ppl can tell you..

Haha That is a good one :) Thanks for the laugh this morning. Democrats and reality and logic all in the same sentence.

Republicans don't. I think you must have messed up and meant liberals.
