I forgot to add whining to that. If the Republicans were doing such a great job, Obama would have never gotten in in the first place.
It's going to be an interesting election.

The Libertarians don't get in because they can't get the funding to get in. They also scare people off with the whole legalizing drugs and doing away with government programs and people taking personal responsibility for their actions. Their only agenda is to return to what the founding fathers intended. We don't have a problem with !@$ marriage, abortion, or religious expression. We wanted to eliminate the IRS. I guess people love the government teat and this current administration proves it. I can sleep knowing I didn't help vote them in. It will change eventually.

Todays economic problem need non-lawyers making decisions.

CE, if any one wanted this president to succeed, unfortunately, I am guilty of that want, my view was how great it would be for young people to witness a young president doing a great job and thereby inspiring the country to be better. I was angry with the republican minority for not seizing the opportunity to shape the health care bill into one that would benefit all Americans instead of bankrupting the country. Then the questions started to pile up about his backers and his cabinet and the manipulation of the media about the war, the oil spill, the health care bill, his affiliation with anti-American or socialist movements, the things he has said to crowds are different almost contradictory, for union/ socialist groups and then for just folks at campaign speeches he has given, he has different dialogue for each and the media wisely doesn't show the anti- American stuff it has been revealed by other media outlets that are considered anti this administration instead of just reporting information. If we go to the beginning the facts about this president don't add up to anything like I had hoped for, ( I had to look for and find my birth certificate and discharge documents in order to apply for help with my medication, and no law professor am I ) again the public is being hood winked by another politician and his cronies, and, what is supposed to be his opposition more and more appears to be complicit in all of it, from cover up to cover up. The Reverend Wright issue was heartbreaking, his admission to smoking crack ( much worse felony than powder ) , a law professor that doesn't know what country he is in, thinking about any of it is exasperating at the very least, politicians lie, this administration is starting to make liars look like friends ( with media help ). I'm hoping that all of this is a dream and when I wake up the true president will be the person we all hoped he would be but it isn't looking too good. If you can offer any glimmer of hope that the changes he talked about during the campaign where to benefit this country, and not political BS, when this administrations real agenda was destruction of America and progressive globalization meaning redistribution of wealth from our futures to theirs, you have my attention.

i appreciate your response. i am also disappointed in the obama administration about a couple of issues. however, i suspect that my disappointment is different from you disappointment.

for instance as far as health care goes i am disappointed that the administration didn't insist on a single payer public option and try to begin the process of getting the private insurance companies out of the practice of medicine.


while i may be disappointed in the obama administration...i have yet to see any credible evidence of wrong doing that would warrant impeachment. i noticed you in your response offered no specific charge nor credible evidence to support impeachment. just the same old generalizations that his political opponents brought up during the 2008 presidential campaign and a few others about policies they don't like that obama has put forth as president. but nothing that is an impeachable offense.

i consider myself a civil libertarian and that is why i tend to vote democrat because the republican party tends to want to tell me and others, which human i can marry, what i can put into my body, and weather or not women should have to bring a pregnancy to term...things that the government should not be involved in. i do realize most democrats are not civil libetarians but they tend to be more opened minded about civil liberties then republicans.

by the way did you vote for obama? i suspect you didn't.

You are proof of the statement I made above that Gays and woman's rights are the last thing I am worried about in these economic times. Thats just a battle ground issue liberals bring up to cause a separation and divert from other issues. Leave those issue for the battles of who become Supreme Court judges.

And if you think our government can run Heath Care better then businesses your out of your mind. What program has the government every run in a cost effective manner? Talk about not having money we would be begging Spain to bail us out!!!! We would be handing almost half our pay checks to the government to cover the cost. 20 years from now it would be social security 10 fold.
Look at the cost of Medicare , it's a form of single payer insurance and it does not cover as much as many think which is why so many carry supplemental policies. (at there cost)
Many Doctors won't even take medicare patients unless the patient them self pays and then summits the bill to be reimbursed. This is because of the low payment and slow payment and the paperwork involved. Experience from Mom and Dad.

Talk about screwing the economy chapter 7 the country with that cost right now.

i am proof of nothing. I think most gays and women would disagree with your belief that their issues are just a diversionary tactic by liberals to divide people, and the only issue we should be focusing on is the economy and only the economy. while the economy is really important only a tunnel vision moron would only focus on that and forget everything else like you seem to be suggesting.

and if you like health care the way it is..good for you but you are wrong when you say a single payer system would cause us to hand over half of our paychecks and would be too costly.

of course you can respond to whatever you like...but you never responded to my post yesterday in response to your post where you claimed that the gassing of kurds by saddam in the 1980's was evidence of weapons of mass destruction in iraq during 2003.

care to respond now?

Usually I find it's the right wing Republican's bringing up the abortion issue, McCain, Palan, Limbaugh, now Toomey. I heard Toomey say he wanted to repeal Roe V Wade in person while I was photographing him at a grip and grin. Usually these guys are shoving their own take on Christian and Family values down everyone's throats. The last thing I need is the government or someone like that doper Rush Limbaugh telling me how to raise my family and what's moral and what isn't. And Palan, maybe she should have taught her daughter about birth control if she couldn't teach her morals.
I'm more of a free thinker in most respects. Every election the opposing party runs around and claims the sky is falling.

Until our jobs are stop from being shipped overseas for huge profits and slave labor nothing will ever be solved. It isn't just manufacturing. A friend of mine owns a civil engineering firm. He said you can get two good engineers from India for half the salary of US workers. He won't use them, but many companies do. He said you can't blame the Unions for that. His engineers are not unionized. I was a shop steward in the IAM Local 864
and we were always reasonable and everything we got was given to us by the company. We never went on strike in 8 years. They closed up shop in Pa. and moved to North Carolina for cheaper wages.

I guess I am a Tunnel Vision Moron, I love how you liberals like calling people names. And yes I am sure Right to Choice and !@$ issues are important to those groups just as all the other groups think there issues are most important. That said they are are not important to me, there more pressing issues to deal with in my opinion. The two issues you mentioned have and continue to be handle in the court of law.
Yes Saddam did gas the Kurds in the 80's which is proof that he had used such weapons in the past, it can not be denied. It also come to light that he still possessed such weapons like Sarin gas and others before 2003. Imagery and testimony have shown transfer to Syria leading up to 03'

Social Security is covered in band aids trying to stay afloat with what comes in to what goes out. Government run.

On the Health care issue what can I say we have Medicare now which is a form of single payer insurance. The government is having trouble funding it now. How would you propose the government pay for a single payer insurance for all 310,482,000 U.S. legal population plus 13,000,000 illegals? Just print more money? That would help the economy
Some one would have to pay!!!!

CE, as a former airman I had to vote for McCain, I refueled many Navy fliers aircraft during the Vietnam War my first 4 years in the USAF and found them all to be good troops. I will never know why Sarah Palin was chosen as his running mate but that is history anyway. As an American I wanted the current President to succeed and hoped the Democratic Party would help him to do just that. We now know that they had other ideas and basically ruined his chances of being the president our country needed. My calls for impeachment are because I can't see any other way to learn the facts about what has been going on and hopefully stop any more of it from happening. It will also separate the the good guys from the bad guys in this current administration, there has to be some good people in there, lawyers can start with nothing (ie; a blue dress with a stain on it) and turn it into something, but I don't think it can happen because the opposing party, the ones who would have to initiate the process, may actually be worse. Now I have a headache so I'm not thinking about this anymore tonight

Speaking of health care, Why is the Government responsible for Your health??? Why do we want those bozos running yet another part of our lives?
I find it just one more nail to the coffin of socialism...

Just about anything the government gets their hands in winds up in the dumper. The American people need to take personal responsibility for their actions. Personal choices determine what kind of life you'll eventually lead. Eat like crap? Then you wind up diabetic, overweight with heart problems to boot. Our own gluttony gets us into all kinds of difficulties. Spend beyond your means? Then you lose your home, car and wind up bankrupt. Boo Hoo, I don't feel sorry for people who fall victim to their own actions.

Talk about name calling? How about Sean Hennerty calling the President of the United States "The Anointed One"? It's guys like him, Beck and Limbaugh who leave a sour taste in everyone's mouth about the Republican Party even though not all Republicans are like that.

Washington thinks the economy is doing so well, they need to come down to Florida where it stinks right now. A lot of people have told me it's the worse they have ever seen it here.

"Hippocrates" = "Hypocrites"

Hi, MikeW. and welcome to the forum. Stinks is a good way to put it!!!!
