Are conservatives happy they got what they wanted?
How can any conservative say with a straight face Obama is out to destroy our country? He's given Republicans everything they've wanted and they still attack him, when are the republicans going to come to the table with something other then, more more more.
How come conservatives ignore the fact that unemployment is more stimulating to the economy then any republican policy? How are conservatives not fascist? They think they are the only ones who can make decisions about our country and anybody who disagrees with them is "anti-american". This is fascism.

republican do not play a fair game. They are only going after their own interest.
Call me anti-American, but I do not suppose half the lies that Republican speak.
The game they are playing is simple, "ME,ME,ME,ME,ME," and it is destroying American politics. and this is the government American wants for the world.
i do not stand against a Republican behavior because I'm anti-American, but because I actually want Democracy to work.

He's TEMPORARILY given us the tax rates that we currently have for two more years. We TEMPORARILY got a break on Social Security tax at the expense of a YEAR AND A MONTH more of unemployment. And the Death Tax has been reinstated. That's hardly everything we wanted.
Additional: Unemployment does not stimulate the economy. People not having jobs doesn't create jobs, it keeps people at a subsistence level while simultaneously increasing the debt (people don't do the accounting and send out the UI checks for free). I was recently unemployed for less than three months. During this time I did not create a single job.
"How are conservatives not fascist? They think they are the only ones who can make decisions about our country and anybody who disagrees with them is "anti-American". This is fascism. "
So...according to your logic, since we disagree with you, you're a fascist? That would be the logical conclusion following your flawed definition.

Extending unemployment insurance to three years is not something that any conservative wants.
Just listen to the cries for Obama's head from the left wing of his own party for making the first compromise of his Presidency. Those people are nuts.
If there is one thing for sure it is that the voters want the guys in Washington to stop playing their political gotcha games, compromise, and get something done about the economy.
We no longer have a government controlled by one party and no matter what it's going to stay that way for the next two years. We can't afford to wait until 2013 to fix the economy and get people back to work.

No, Conservatives did not choose Bush. I voted for Pat Buchanan 8 years in the past, and Michael Peroutka 4 years in the past. Conservatives does not vote for Bush. His shrinking base is composed of Neo-Cons. As i have suggested earlier, i imagine Neo-Cons must be referred to as Neo-Nazis, when you consider that they have a lot more suitable in hardship-free with the Nazis than with the Conservatives. Ron Paul is a Conservative. i do not see any similarity between Ron Paul and Mr. Bush. McCain comes a lot in the direction of Bush.

I keep hoping that the pols will begin to see that once America goes down, where on Earth will anyone go who wants the good life this admittedly flawed country makes possible? Sure we have problems, but where else would you want to live? If the USA goes to heck in a hand basket, where can any of us go to escape? Partisan politicians? A plague on all their houses!

Conservatives won't be happy until China literally owns all of America. Did you know that before Obama took office, in 2008, 17% of all federal income went to pay for interest on the debt. Republicans are hell bent on increasing this largest source of government waste.

They rubbed the middle classes faces in it today. For instance ,take apartment owners, they get a tax break and assurance that their tenants are able to pay their rent. It was an incredible win win for the rich.

Since they have given over their hearts, minds and souls to their unseen masters, it is somewhat contradictory to speak about such human looking husks being happy about anything.

He's abusing the power of his office with the offshore oil drilling industry. I personally think it should be almost impeachable.
