As it says at the bottom of every one of your posts Reel "Nothing resembles a democrat more than a republican..." I didn't vote for Obama, but that doesn't mean I want him to fail. I'm sure he wants to do what he feels is in the best interest of the country. I just don't agree that we can spend more than we have to work our way out of a problem that was created by spending more than we have. Enough is enough. You don't get out of debt by spending more, you get out of debt by spending less. The problem is a lack of confidence in the economy. How does continuing down the path that got us here inspire confidence? The Tea Party folks are basically saying that we've given enough of our hard earned money to Republicans and Democrats and we don't have confidence that giving more will help. In fact I think it is more likely to hurt. You want to stimulate the economy? Give me my money back. I'll stimulate the economy where it matters most to me, right here at home with the local business run by my friends and neighbors. Give my friends and neighbors their money back and they'll do the same. Next thing you know we're all better off. It took more than W to cause this, it's going to take more than Obama to fix it.
Willy's right, throw them all out in the next election. Then we need term limits

Well said. My thoughts exactly.

Reel I'm with you. It's Barracks time to take the shots. GW did his share and maybe the tea party's were protesting what he left us with. It's good that we differ. Billy Mac

Left us with, did you not see the numbers just passed in the last three months, tarp 2, tarp 3, and a budget with more pork than ever in our history, a budget with a deficit three times larger than all the deficits ever done in budgets in total in our history.
These are not republicans numbers, these are the numbers from the congressional budget office.
Three times larger than all the deficits in history added together.
Sorry as screwed up as Bush was, as glad as I am to see him out of office these numbers and the results to follow fall all on the hands of the democratic controlled house and the Obamination himself. Even under Bush the major deficits came in his last two years when the democratic house and senate gained control and passed their budgets. yes he signed them and shame on him.
Shame on all these parasites, shame on them for putting our country in jeapordy, shame on them for allowing this to happen.
Thats what the tea parties were about, not a right wing conspiracy, but Americans who have some common sense who are scared for the future.
Americans who have had enough paying between 40-50 percent of what they earn to state and federal governments that have grown to be monsters, irresponsible monsters.
Right now we are in a spending spiral that has us spending 14 percent of our gross domestic product. That is considered in the entire world by all economies as a failing economy. We are right in league with all the third world countries who borrow from the world bank because they are above the 10% mark.
I do not need to wait anymore to know where we stand, even China and Czechoslavakia and Germany are telling us to change our direction before we bring down the economies of the entire world with our debt.
My God how far we have come, we need Europe and China to tell us to change direction.
Shame on all of them, they need to be removed from office, they all need to be be thrown out in the next election.

Now HERE is where you and I could not agree more!!...(AMAZIN' AIN'T IT!!)

There are a little over 50 or so registered political parties in the US...there's no doubt in my mind that it's time to register one more w/the common goal of kicking the fat and happy status-quo politicians out on their butts and bring back common sense...the taxes we're paying are outta control and the powers the fed has now are outrageous...

lobbyists: OUT
politics:OUT
career politicians:OUT
earmarks:OUT
flat tax:IN
gun control:OUT
illegal aliens:OUT

the list could go on and on, but those few corrections to the way our country is being run would clear up a LOT of BullSh-t and get us going on a path we'd be proud to leave our children with...

but we'll never do it DIVIDED...the time is ripe for another party of voters tired of the BS to come together and take back the country we've pledged allegiance to all our lives...it got lost some time back...
