If you have read Bush v. Gore, as I have, good for you. What the Washington Post or anyone else thinks the result would have been after a recount isn't relevant. The assertion that Mr. Bush won the election because of electoral inaccuracies and miscounting is just that--an assertion, and nothing more. | |

I'll bet Phizer could develop a drug somewhat beyond orphan drug market size to fix this sickness, these people are bent. Bush musta gotten deeply inside these people's brains. When we take out the current trash I won't be able to get the smile off my face. | |

| Do you like the USA? Posted: 11/7/2009 5:15:29 PM | | ^^^^^Why should they do that? The living's easier here. These little fascists would rather just stay and gradually dismantle what millions of Americans whose shoes they're not fit to clean have built up and defended. Just think of the wonderful totalitarian country we could all enjoy--a sort of paradise on earth. We could change our motto from "E pluribus unum" to Mussolini's "Everything within the State, nothing without it." | |

| Do you like the USA? Posted: 11/7/2009 5:23:12 PM | I began using guns at a young age, perhaps 8. At 10 I received a .22 cal single shot which I used to hunt and trap and wander the woods or our farm from sunup to sundown. i learned early the power, and danger. I learned the responsibility of great power. i learned to take care of myself, of my tools, to live off the land. From these things I learned orieteering, navigation, to read the weather, feel the change of the season, the habits of all things, their place in the system.
I'm sure my parents were worried at first, like the worry of letting your child go on a car date, then drive themselves, go off to college, get married, become pregnant. It's all about managing fear, developing judgment and coping skills.
You libtards have some infantalized worldview where some things are of themselves dangerous. Do you know what is dangerous/ being ignorant of life, its processes, managing your fears, imagining the government loves you (you have to be a moron of unimaginable levels to think they are going to give you free stuff lolololol).
So my advice libtards is seek long term psychological counseling, rest assured there are adults who still manage life's risks without some dullard like Pelosi, Reid, or Obumbler looking over their shoulders. The thought one of these demented mental and moral midgets could have any control over me may be the great tragedy of the 21st century. | |

| Do you like the USA? Posted: 11/7/2009 5:39:03 PM | I haven't taken the time to analyze the constitutional problem that presents in any detail, but I can't imagine the U.S. can force citizens to buy something, or face criminal prosecution. Tenth Am. and Fifth Am. due process come to mind--and how could it be enforced, if millions of people ignored it? The very fact the drafters of the bill would include something so obviously and completely un-American says volumes about them.
In a way, I hope this administration keeps this sort of thing up. They are outraging tens of millions of Americans, and more every day. Even if this bill should pass the House, I don't think most observers like its chances in the Senate. At this rate, these clowns are going to lose control of BOTH houses of Congress. About all the President would be able to do then is hobble around for his last two years, messing up our foreign policy, until he was turned out in disgrace in 2012. | |

Obama became the leader of the Democrat Party at the Convention last year. I think he is also the leader of the Progressive Democrats as well. He is advocating the big reform of the health care system. That's what Progressives want...reform.
I don't know who the leader is of the Blue-Dogs is. But, if there is such a leader, I doubt that person would organize against their own as Conservatives did in the 23rd District of NY. At the end of the day, the Blue-Dogs will still run as Democrats. They aren't going to split the party like the Conservatives are splitting the Republican Party. | |

You think this Adminsrtations policies are bad for the country, yet you would rather see Obama fail than make the right decisions. Sounds like your hatred of Obama outweighs your love for this country.
They are outraging tens of millions of Americans, and more every day. By next month all of America should be outraged according to that Glen Beck type comment. | |

THE ECONOMY IS SO BAD, that …
I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.
I ordered a burger at McDonalds and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?"
CEO's are now playing miniature golf.
If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them.
Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.
McDonalds is selling the 1/4 ouncer.
Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.
A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.
Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.
Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore.
The Mafia is laying off judges.
Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.
Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal.
Oh Great!! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear.

But, this country is STILL better than any other place on earth. | |

That's not true. I don't hate him personally. But I hate everything he stands for--sugar-coated tyranny at home, and naive weakness toward our adversaries abroad. And it's *because* I believe his policies are bad for this country that I want to see them fail. He's not able or willing to make what I'd consider the right decisions.
It's hard to believe a U.S. President, in 2009, could accommodate a government that openly supports Islamist terrorism like the one in Tehran, for example. That's exactly what this man is doing, even as they help blow up our servicemen, murder their own people, and keep working to make nuclear weapons they could easily supply to terrorists. Whose side is he on? | |

That's what Progressives want...reform
Are you sure? I think ALL Americans would like real Health Care Reform, But I believe those progressives and liberals use the idea of reform to promote a take over. Universal Health Care isn't reform, It's just flat out Government take Over and more Social Control. The Public Option is a guise! Why won't those progressives talk about Tort Reform? or Crossing State Lines? It is a movement of taking control... They want a Social Community, that is run by Unions & Controlled by the Government.
To do this, they have to kill the free market, Ruin the dollar and do what ever else it takes to get the community looking for the government to take care of them.
Government: The more they are the less we the people are... The more control they have, the less control we have... The more rights they take away, the less rights we have. Our Founding Fathers knew this... It seems pretty simple.
So what motives do American citizens have to follow along with such a thing? It boggles my mind! | |

| Do you like the USA? Posted: 11/7/2009 10:48:10 PM | YEAH! Health care reform is here!
In your face, Retardicans!
Tens of millions of people will be getting health care. This is a wonderful day in the history of America. Oh, and you Retardicans who think that a public option will kill private insurance companies? How come that hasn't happened in Germany, where a public option has existed for a century?  | |

| Do you like the USA? Posted: 11/7/2009 11:38:48 PM | | We'll see what happens in the Senate. Most of the people watching this closely think the bill's narrow margin of victory in the House doesn't bode well for passage by the Senate. | |

| Do you like the USA? Posted: 11/7/2009 11:51:20 PM | | The open unregulated free market system put our economy into total disarray. All those banks were in line to get their free handouts from us the taxpayers. Then they turn around and give out bonuses to their so call geniuses who made all those stupid decisions won't leave their companies. If you want an total free market system, those banks should of went under. But no! They were in line to get their asses saved. If they are getting our money, they better expect some watchdog over them. I really think interest rates of 30 percent on credit cards amount to thuggery on the banks part. Or just call get what it really is: loan sharking. | |
