Republican Leadership Unveils Exciting Agenda to Move US Forward:"Complete Gridlock"

Hey, at least it's predictable.

 

if you predict right you win. if you predict society falling and it does, its all chill, we called it!!!

 

I hate the republicans, but at least they get their party in line. The democrats are like chickens with their heads cut of. They had an opportunity to do some real change , but instead the bicker and we end up with the healthcare bill, two unwinable wars. The democrats are the republicans b****es.

 

The actual truth is that Congress and the President will have to meet in the middle to get things done. This is not a bad thing.

 

This is not the case. Teh Pubs don't want anything done. If they stall getting anything changed they get to stick with the pro-big business, anti-regulatory policies still in effect from the 8 years of Bush/Cheney/Rove.

That is exactly the strategy behind the Tea Party movement. The people with money, who want to keep making huge amounts of money and not pay taxes on it, give money to lobbyist and PR firms, who write blogs and organize meetings and buy time on Fox so they can pay Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin is a half-term, lightweight with a MILFY face. Do you think she has become a national force on her own merits?

Everything is always about the money.

And this "world is coming to an end" "everything we know as America is in peril" vibe has it purpose. The big money is made by the guys at the bottom of the ponzi schemes. Control an asset, create a bubble, get out before it busts: start-ups, oil futures, CMO's etc. The bubble of gold is next. Control the asset, create the fear, the price goes up (20% so far) sell, the suckers eat the crash.

It's as American as Goldman-Sachs.

 

Gridlock in congress is exactly the way it should be and would be a blessing...

Businesses want the government to stop taking all their money and get the heck out fo the way.

 

So why didn't the Republicans support Obama's move to reduce taxes on small businesses.

Luckily the Democrats were friends to the small businesses and passed the measure over the Republican opposition of it.

 

the liberal party waters itself down too, they have to play to the average view point in order to pull enough votes from both the extreme liberal base and those in the middle.

 

Your view of the world is sad. If the "Tea Party" wants gridlock, it is to stop our Presidents ultra left agenda. It will force him to move to the center to get things done. Clinton had to move to the center after the 94 midterm elections and the country was better off for it.

Obama's agenda has not helped the country. If he was doing a good job then the "Tea Party" would not be able to sway the midterm elections. Our country started heading downhill in 2007. The funny thing about 2007 is that in January of that year the Democrats regained control of congress. Everyone wants to blame this all on Bush and I am no big fan of his however the economy was doing fairly well under him until the Dems took back control of Congress. The President himself doesn't spend any money. Congress is in control of the purse strings. The President can either agree with congress of veto what the present. Under complete Dem control this country is spending itself into oblivion. That is why the Repubs. will likely take back the at least one branch of congress if not both.

I will grant you that a majority of people on this forum are all for what Obama is doing. This election will prove that the majority of the country is against it. If the Repubs. take back control of congress then that means that a majority of Americans prefer gridlock to our country spending itself into oblivion. Like I said before, having to meet in the middle will be good for the country.

 

Sad? Insane maybe. Paranoid certainly. But I just don't think Mawmaw out in her moomoo holding up a sign is a power broker in a world where $700 billion dollars is up for grabs. Big money can set up PAC's as a loss leader. Big money can get pretty girls to do whatever they want.

What liberal party?

Do you see any Socialist parties? Any Progressive parties? Any Communist parties? Any pacifist parties? Any Green parties? Any Worker's parties?

Any openly agnostic candidates?

No you don't.

Real liberalism is not even on the radar in the USA. It's corporate left leaning centrist and corporate right leaning centrist.

 

I have to agree - there is no real left in America. We have too many people who think 'capitalism' is real.

 

Agreed; It is not like government is gonna shrink with Obama as president, so the next best thing would be no growth in government which would come with a gridlock.

 

It's not like there's been any shrinkage in any administration over the last 50 years. Even under His Holiness Ronald Reagan the size of the federal government expanded.

 

A very sad but true fact!!!

 

Gridlock would be fantastic considering we've had perpetual expansion.

Actual cuts would be preferable, but not likely.

The notion that doing something is inherently preferable to doing nothing requires one to abandon reason.

Sadly, the do-gooder sentiment expressed in the OP is all too common among those with power over our lives.

 

who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes.

 

I do not have a problem with his name or his skin color. As a matter of fact, his skin color is one of the few things I do like him be cause the fact that an African American was elected President means racism is slowly but surely becoming a thing of the past (even if it does still have a long way to go). What I do not like about him is that he stacked his administration with ultra lefist. Heck he even had a devout Communist in Van Jones in his administration until the truth about him came out. The health care bill is not as innocent as you make it out to be. Question, how long do you believe our country can survive spending more than a TRILLION dollars more than it takes in? Our country has to start having some fiscal responsibility. Government is growing like crazy under Obama. Bush was ridiculous but Obama has taken things to an unprecedented level. We have to stop this insanity and I believe the American people will in November.

 

I wouldn't quite go that far, but I think we're heading in that direction, quickly.
