Andy9o8 2 #28 August 9, 2009 QuoteThe last election was all about the Bush backlash. Only partially. It was also about Republican backlash. People in the middle saw the Repubs for what they are by what they did in the campaign (which did work against Kerry 4 years earlier): not policy attacks, but personal attacks: he has a funny name; his wife has unpatriotic writings, his middle name is Saddam Hussein; his momma was a white girl who "went black" (and never went back...), his birth certificate is suspect; he has radical-unpatriotic-pinko guilt-by-associations. And the voters got sick of that shit; realized that the Repubs had nothing better to offer than "No"; "stay the course"; and "the other side's evil", and voted accordingly. Not just against Bush's bullshit, but against the Conservative Republicans' bullshit. So by all means - bring it on. It'll be fun take the kids to look at your team on our next trip to the museum.

tkhayes 348 #29 August 9, 2009 primarily, health care reform. I do not agree with the plan for 'insurance'. voicing my opinion almost daily to my representatives. ending the war in Iraq - will obviously take longer than I thought at first. and may not happen at all it seems, I disagree with all the bailouts, but I knew that neither Bush, Obama, republicans or democrats were actually going to stop any of that. trying to keep God out of government, getting harder all the time, but I believe that he actually believes that - but has to 'appease' within the ranks to keep peace in the family.

I don't get much out of watching 2 or 3 people all talking loudly over each other to make their point. I have only seen approx. ten different talk shows, and all of them were exactly like this. Can't understand why the people ever watch this crap.* Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. * Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,998 #37 August 9, 2009 >Are you an advocate of this? I am. Let God remain in the various churches, where people can choose to worship as they see fit. The wall of separation that the Constitution built between church and state makes it clear that the founding fathers wanted the two to remain separate - and I agree. Note that this is not to say that politicians can't believe whatever they choose; like any other US citizen, they can believe in God, Baal, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster if they want. They just can't pass laws that require Baal-worship. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
