Politics can be fun to debate and I am happy that the mods are letting us do it. As long as we stay civil we should be ok. Strange as it seems we all really want the same thing. We just want to get out of this recession and have America once again be the great country that we love. I love this...

Sorry spook. Got to disagree with you on one thing. Some people have to be voted against. In 2008 Obama looked pretty good and I voted for him. After the election when he actually had a majority in the Senate and the House I had some hope. That hope has been gone for a while. In 2012 I...

They just took the House so here is their chance.
May I remind you that our deficit has ran from $850billion at the end of Bushs term to over $3.5Trillion under the first 2 years of a democrate congress and president. Remember, the republicans are being called the party of NO because...
At this point in time the Tea Party represents about 5% of America. They are very disorganized. They are really only lead by corporate CEO's. That's where their money comes from. That's who pays Sarah Palin. To me it shows what bad shape the 2 party system is in. Some of the people that ran this...

The TP party didn't do very well. I hate to tell you this but you have been bamboozled. They will not try to change anything. The pubs may try to stop the health care pkg and cap and trade is pretty dead anyway. Lower taxes? Obama just got you the biggest tax cut in the past 20 years...
I doubt that the dems will be the party of NO in the House as the pubs have been in the Senate. Obama is very capable of reaching across the aisle and has done so on many occasions in his first 2 years. same with the Democratic members of Congress. That is why the legislation that was passed is...

I am, the business plan is simple, stop the wasteful spending. There its done, now lets see if the giveaway party can follow it.

True.. However, in my years, I am beginning to see that maybe we should just pick a path/strategy and stick to it for for more than 2 years at a time. IMO our impatience and demand for immediate results may be getting the best of us..

Well first the party in control of congress...
This argument is just going around in circles. A previous poster suggested requiring businesses to reinvest the money they would have paid in taxes back in to their business. That would work quite well. Either that or raise taxes over a certain income to ridiculous amounts like they were during...

I was a Clinton supporter and I agree with you completely. He should have vetoed those bills instead of promoting them. He has publicly stated that he regretted ever signing those bills. He did it in order to get Congress to pass some other stuff he wanted passed. It sucks the way...

I am, and I agree with what was said. I'm also especially thrilled about the Lieutenant Governor.
I lived in San Jose for 5 years and the SLO town for 3 years. I love California. Beautiful place. I hope your new Governor can straighten out the mess. Hope he doesn't end up in the same...

It ain't opinion anymore than your position is opinion. "Opinion" is a personal belief that is completely relative to a person. We have "positions," meaning one of us is right and the other is wrong.
You're right! The Fed doesn't have to stay within what it has coming in! It can...
You're entitled to your opinions Q. The stimulus didn't destroy any jobs. It used money that hasn't even been collected yet. Unlike states or personal budgets. The Fed doesn't have to stay within what the have coming in. They spent money to create jobs.
I've read the same stuff as you and I...

Keep on dreaming. The spending isn't going to stop. Look at historical spending from the party of NO. Historically the party of NO runs the debt up and cuts taxes, particularly for the wealthy. The party of common sense usually spends less and gets the deficit down. This time around the...

Is this sarcastic? I am lost, LOL! I would be scared to death to live in California right now.
He's probably referring to the fact that they were able to defeat another wacko that had no qualifications except a ton of money. They also kept a good Senator.

I'm glad the Republicans will finally have to start taking responsibility for something. So far they have done nothing at all to help the country. Since they were the minority they didn't have to take the blame. Now they will have to stop trying to run the country in to the ground or be held...
