Why is it that Obama always accuses others of the the very things hi is most guilty of, himself? Truly, Obama is like a democratic Bush. In so many ways, his candidacy parallels GW Bush's 2000 candidacy.
you republican rubes can SAY things... but that is not an argument.
You have no evidence that Obama is anything like Bush. No evidence that Obama is accusing republicans of things he has done.
REALLY and FOR TRUE... try and employ some THINKING skills.
Tossing out accusations unsupported by argument, example or analogy is worse than weak...
It makes you look like a tool of right wing disinformation.
You guys really have to get away from personality attacks and focus on actual issues... like their POSITIONS.
I am not saying that the Democrats in office are particularly brighter or have better ideas...
I am saying that for 10 of the last 12 years, republicans have controlled both house and senate... and for 6 of those years... controlled house, senate, executive AND legislative branches.
You can not blame ANY of this disaster on democrats because they had been rendered totally moot by republican control.
Therefore... it makes republicans look particularly whiny and childish when, after all this time in power, they STILL blame everything they have done on democrats.
The Nation, TODAY, is precisely what republican policy, alone, has made it.
That should be evidence to any honest conservative that, either republican politicians do not enact conservative policies... or that conservative policies do not have the effect conservatives want.
They have not resulted in a stronger, more stable nation nor economy.
Therefore... true conservatives... as opposed to blind party fanatics... should be pressuring the republican party for SUBSTANTIVE REVISION.
Clearly, the free market has proven that it would freely destroy an overly greedy and unregulated economy.
Clearly, borrowing money and lowering taxes to spend wildly on a war that does us no good is not good fiscal management.
Clearly, freeing up the private sector to do as they please has proven that the private sector is too incompetent, or too unprincipled, to responsibly run their own industries.
And, clearly... the republican party- despite protestations of change we can believe in, has no plan to reduce spending ( which will have to PRECEED any increase in taxes to prevent even worse falls in revenue.)
They would cut obligations to American citizens, to further a war that has not benefited the US. A war that has, in fact, diminished the standing of the US world wide.
And they STILL beat the free market drum of how government is the problem rather than the solution.
Conservatives... if they really do care about making this nation stronger, would realize that the Republican party needs to be taken out of power for a while, to teach those in power that they have to re-think their policies... and to give the party time to reflect on how they do not live up to their stated platform.
When the shit hits the fan, economically, the US needs to pull back from foreign adventuring... re-build our depleted and over worked army... and focus on the needs of the American people rather than imaginary threats from a few thousand religious nuts.
In business... if a particular business model does not work... does not achieve the objectives expected of it...
Then you CHANGE it.
The conservative government model has not worked... has in fact failed spectacularly.
Are you business-like enough to accept that your theories of how the market works are wrong... and work on a new and entirely different business model?
Or is the only objective of conservatism to put republicans in power and Keep them in power?
If government is the problem... then, for the past 12 years, the government has been republican.
Ergo republicans and republican policy is the problem.
McCain and Palin are espousing the Bush Doctrine of fear and war and have NO plan to significantly alter free market initiatives.
Our problems with Muslim extremism are rooted in OIL...
Global Warming is rooted in OIL...
Inflation in the market is rooted in OIL...
No amount of drilling will keep pace with drying supply and rising demand...
The obvious and intelligent solution is to do everything we can to eliminate dependence on oil... to eliminate the need for it...
Doing so would SOLVE the four largest problems America is facing right now.
And the republicans sit in their gatherings and CHANT "drill drill drill..."
If you care about the future... about your childrens' futures... how can you possibly support the party and the plan that has failed and will continue to fail to address these real issues?
