Is Obama The Second Coming (And Falling) Of Dubya?

Quote from Tsing Tao:

Actually, most republicans are open when their party messes up. They frequently attack when their party strays from the principles it was founded under, and they loathe when their party does foolish things.

Most democrats on the other hand are like Ricter. Team first, country second. Support even failing, bumbling politicians. Disregard result, only speak to intent. If intent is tainted, make up what intent was since no one can prove otherwise anyway.

A republican will walk away from a candidate that makes an error. A democrat will go down with the ship rather than admit being wrong.

So true. I'll back a politician , and stick with them if they make a small mistake as they're human. HOWEVER, I will NOT back one who does ignorant shit, or doesn't do shit. Problem with the repubs: no balls right now. The dems: nutcase communists.

and I thought you did not want to have to say obama should spend more because of inflation...

well here i what the market is telling you about obama's spending...


I just read to day that the FED now owns a third of all 10 year equivalents and is buying up 70% of the bonds at auction.

I think that should tell you Obama's spending in relative terms is crazy.

As Mark Levin pointed out in "The Liberty Amendments," The FACT that the Fed's doing this is going to collapse the dollar, and we all know it. We're simply adding band aids to a shark bite... The spending has, HAS to stop, and like yesterday, or greece, argentina, etc., will be baby shit along side of what we'll be when we implode.:eek:

I would like us to spend more on science and infrastructure and a lot less on welfare/entitlements.

I made a number of posts a few years ago about the parallels between the two administrations. The re-election of Dubya and Hopey felt very similar; not an endoresement of the incumbent but a vote AGAINST what people felt were inferior candidates. Hopey was really dragging in the approval numbers in the first term. Dubya had really lost alot of support from conservatives around 2003-04, but it really snowballed by 06-07.

The true partisan hacks took awhile to jump off the crazy train, but eventually they did. Now, we are witnessing (to a pretty significant extent) the very same thing. There is one MAJOR difference though and we all know what it is. Those current approval numbers will continue to slide, but the polling amongst the race hustlers and their ilk will not slide; hence he is definitely more unpopular than Dubya, all things considered.

When I saw what was being done in the fall of 2008 (in particular, the near 90% public opposition to the bailouts), the staged votes (i.e. a way for "conservatives" to claim that they tried to oppose it; and finally the continued iterations of QE, QE, QE, I gave up.

I don't even allow myself to "hope" that they will stop the madness; it's beyond repair.

I am just about out too.
I am already telling my kids they need to be bankers or pro athletes or entertainers... I am not sure any other career path is safe.

So would a lot of other tax payers.
Except the welfare and entitlement queens outnumber the taxpayers
