Moderate Republican my ass!

here's my prediction, we aren't going to let the senate get loaded down to one side or the other. that truly doesn't serve what most americans want.

but you have a little time to drool over the idea i guess.

Dream On Bushies-- Dream ON!

Where do you get this nonsense that democrats will do what the "majority" want?  I know you are a democrat supporter and apologist, but stop speaking for what American "wants".

gene you are as about a moderate republican as I am a liberal Democrat, stop the lying about who you are. We all see through this charade that you think you are being so clever about. Why can't you just say who you really are? Many of us Republicans are very unhappy about the job Bush is doing, but I don't see a single republican rooting for a complete democrat takeover.

Never in my entire life have I ever seen a man so hate filled as you gene, so obsessed, so fixated on the destruction of one man, after all in the end that's all Bush is a man with a job that is failing to do it well, but according to you Bush is the devil incarnate, not fit to live, let alone lead a nation. Maybe it's time for you to just be truthful, if you know how to be truthful and just come out of the closet and shout to the world , I am a DEMOCRAT AND PROUD OF IT!.

“Where do you get this nonsense that democrats will do what the "majority" want? “

The Majority want Health Care

They want Social Security and Medicare benefits paid as promised.

They want our ports and borders protected

They want us OUT of the fighting in Iraq.

They want us less dependent on foreign oil.

They want improved education at both the grade level and in college

They are willing to increase taxes on the wealthy to where they were under Clinton.

They want to STOP good paying jobs from leaving our country.

ALL these issues are supported by the Democrats and opposed by the GOP.

The Amnesty for illegal aliens is one area where the Dems and the general public are NOT in agreement!

Hmm, you mean the poor majority who can't afford it and don't have decent jobs that provide it. Funny, if I'm not wrong some of those jobs that some politicians claim Americans won't do that illegals do probably offer health care and about the same salary as the jobs these people without health care get. But they want free health care too. Free seems to be a common word in Americans these day, why work for anything when idiots like Col are willing to give it to you for free.



Duh! I want it too, I did pay for it after all. That does not make me a Democrat you moron.



So you think the Dems can get that done? How exactly when they wanted that Amnesty bill almost as mush as Bush did if not more? Do you really think they would let go such a population as a bunch of poor illegals turned legal that will vote for their hero's the Democrats? You're only fooling yourself.



Most want us to finish our jobs and go home. Not give up, surrender and leave the Iraqi's to their own fate. This would go against everything this country was built on other wise we might as well level the entire country and be done with this war. It would be the same thing as leaving with our tails between our legs.



I seriously doubt Dems are more likely to change that then Reps are considering that out countries economy is still dependent on oil. They couldn't change this if they had 15 years of control in the House, Senate, and the White House. You're delusional.



I will agree with this, but then again smart Americans means Americans making more money and that would mean no poor and therefor no minority vote for the Dems so this will actually backfire on them.



LOL, of course. Poor and most Middle class people don't like rich people. What they don't get is that rich people are the ones who provide them the jobs they have and the paychecks they get for doing the work.



Funny considering that the only reason we don't export farming is because these farmers could not buy land in other countries and grow food with cheap labor just like all these orther jobs that go over seas so if Americans don't want to do the jobs illegals do cause they don't pay good, what makes them think they want the overseas jobs that don't pay good either. Just ask those in other countries how much they get paid. I bet they do not get paid $20 of $25 an hour. What a fool.

The Dems have done nothing since they took over. Remember how happy you and the rest of the Dems were when they won? Congress has the worst performance rate ever and they criticized Bush for having the worst ever. If anything they have lost the one chance they had to take over 100% (BTW it was you who said no single party should be in control of all the houses at once, yet that is exactly what you want, Hypocrite) and only McCain is more idiotic than the Democratic Presidential candidates .

Hmm, you mean the poor majority who can't afford it and don't have decent jobs that provide it. 46 Million People have no health insurance.


“Duh! I want it too; I did pay for it after all. That does not make me a Democrat you moron.”

That is NOT what the conservative’s want- They just want to cut the benefits rather then pay the cost. The Bush change to Social Security actually made it more impossible to pay the benefits to the Boomers. His plan addresses the POSSIBLE help for the X and Y generations and made the current issue worse. Even the Social Security trustee's admitted the private accounts did not address the problem of paying the Boomer benefits. After all that, Bush is still pushing for his plan to create private accounts within Social Security and create more Billions in profits for brokers and the people who would manage these accounts while adding TRILLIONS to the imbalance in the Social Security System and its ability to pay the promised benefits. The Democrats want to KEEP the system as is and provide the added money to pay the benefits!

“I will agree with this, but then again smart Americans means Americans making more money and that would mean no poor and therefore no minority vote for the Dems so this will actually backfire on them.”

When you see what Bush and the GOP did to the cost of the Pell loans you know that college is not important unless you are wealthy and can afford to pay the cost.


“, of course. Poor and most Middle class people don't like rich people.”

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LIKE OR DISLIKE. it HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THE WEALTHY GOT THE big bucks FROM BUSH AND HIS TAX CUTS AND CAN AFFORD TO PAY MORE TO HELP BALANCE THE BUDGET AND PAY FOR THINGS WE need!

Bush doesn't make people rich, that is achieved on their own, something you democrats don't seem to like.  Here you go again telling people what they should do with "their" money because you think they make too much.  People should support themselves and not rely on "the rich" to pay it for them.  That's what's really wrong with this country.

The Majority want Health Care --actually, no, socialized medicine has been roundly REJECTED by the majority when it has been made an issue. Remember when the dems had the presidency and the Congress? That's why it didn't get passed!

They want Social Security and Medicare benefits paid as promised.--which is why they've raised the retirement and proposed raising it further, BREAKING the promise they made with my generation and beyond.

They want our ports and borders protected--and have proposed NO legislation to that effect.

They want us OUT of the fighting in Iraq.--which is why Democrat leaders have not only supported the war, but have been the ONLY party to suggest reinstating the draft!

They want us less dependent on foreign oil.--by refusing to allow us to drill or build new refineries in America?

They want improved education at both the grade level and in college --ahh, yes...the party of ebonics comes to speak to us about education!

They are willing to increase taxes on the wealthy to where they were under Clinton --only those who are too stupid to realize it is the CONSUMER who will ultimately foot the bill!

Col

Burger King, McDonalds, KFC and other places like these are Billion and million dollar companies. Do you think they should pay their employees more since they can afford it? I mean do you think a burger flipper deserves, what, $10 an hour? Do you think a cashier deserves $12 an hour? These fast food places can afford the extra dollars, why not make them pay more?

I would like to know, considering that if I was rich I already spend more than the average person who is not rich because that is what rich people do, why should I have to pay more just because I have more? I deserve to pay the same amount for a Whopper as anyone else, I deserve to pay for a house for the same price as someone who has less money than me and I deserve to pay just as much of a percent in taxes as everyone else does. (this if I was rich of course)

"Bush doesn't make people rich, that is achieved on their own,”

Under the Bush tax policy the rich keep more of their wealth and it compounds that much faster. The point I made is the Rich have done far better in the amount of money they have saved in taxes and can afford to pay more!

I did not say socialized medicine. The issue is the 46 Million with NO Health Insurance. The Bush plan of giving tax credits to pay for private insurance only solved the problem for 3 of the 46 million-- SOME SOLUTION!

"They want us OUT of the fighting in Iraq.--which is why Democrat leaders have not only supported the war, but have been the ONLY party to suggest reinstating the draft! "

Given the NIE and the growing danger, we may have to reinstate some sort of a draft. The Army failed to meet their recruiting goals for the past two months and we are lowering the standards and increasing the incentives and still have not met the needs. To increase the military may not be possible with just volunteers.

“They want us less dependent on foreign oil.--by refusing to allow us to drill or build new refineries in America?”

That is another NON answer from Bush. It would take 10 years and the amount of oil that is estimated in less then 3% of our needs. We would be better off with increasing MPG by) ONE mile then all the oil in Alaska. Bush has not allowed the Cafe Standards to be updated and applied to SUV's and Trucks.

If the oil companies wanted to build more refineries, they could have passed the legislation during the first 6 years of Bush!
