Quote from jonbig04:

Government has its place, just like the free market does. It is just as ignorant to say Obama is going to socialize everything as it is to say the republicans plan on creating anarchy by deregulating markets (small gov). Why is it so hard for everyone to see that it is THE BALANCE.

I'm sorry but if you don't think the balance between freedom and government are what makes our country great, I really don't have anything more to say to you.

I do feel freedom and balance are what makes our country great. Well....part of what makes it great.
I just don't feel the Democrats are about balance!
So I guess we have to agree to disagree, or not speak.

Haha I didn't mean YOU I just mean "you" as in the people that think that way. You may be right about the dems not being balanced. The republicans arent either. It would be great if we could have a president who realizes the importance of both. However we hvae had the conservative way of thinking for a while, even Clinton didn't touch the markets and the economy soared. Great, that was deregulation (small government) working, but now its gone so far out of balance that the regulations have to be put on heavily so now is what I what i see as the time to be reliant on big government, until we can get back off our feet. Then we can go back to our old deregulation ways until this whole cycle repeats itself.

Obama'sDad was a leftist wack job
His wife said that she was never proud of the US.

He hangs out with with wack job preachers and wack job bombers
he got 50 million dollars to hand out to radicalize students -He has ties with Acorn

Against this you tell me with confidence he is not going nationalize stuff in the time of crises.

How the heck do I know that? He has almost no record.

Ridiculous.

If I thought you wanted to have an honest discussion about the issues I'd be all for it, but I know what this will turn into...what it always turns into....and its not worth the time.

Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

I don't mind opposing viewpoints-just another reason I'm not a Democrat-but partisan stupidity and factual errors bug the shit out of me. Rarely do you post something either compelling or accurate.

That's hilarious coming from a neo-Nazi who likes to threaten people who don't agree with him.

Bush isn't the first President "unwanted" at his Party's convention. Lyndon Johnson didn't attend the 1968 convention in Chicago. For obvious well chronicled reasons.

LBJ didn't attend but his VP did. Neither your prez nor your veep materialized at this year's GOP convention. First time ever. For obvious well-chronicled reasons.

I realize that in modern life everything is now the "best" and "worst" of all time. We're a nation of fucking teenagers. Few things happening are the "worst" of all time.

WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER.

Quote from Fractals 'R Us:

We're shrinking in fear!!

The Peanut farmer guy, I lived through that mess.... I used to change jobs as often as underwear to beat inflation... I went to a boss, talked about a raise once, got back to him in two weeks, he had blown it off, I went out to lunch that day and got my raise down the street, never even said goodbye, assholes thought we were going to sit there like fixed income dying people... you'll learn eventually...

The irony here is that there were plenty of jobs for you to choose among back in Carter's days. Not today, except for the relative few with skills that are in high demand, and even then they risk getting a bad rep for switching jobs too frequently.

You weren't competing with illegal aliens for menial jobs and imported Indians for high-tech jobs back then. Welcome to the job market you conservatives always said you wanted. Enjoy.

Errr... there seems to be some confusion here. You said

Quote from cuz69:
I disagree with anyone that says Bush wasn't at the convention because he was unwanted.

I said that 95% of observers on both the right and left agreed that the #1 reason that Bush was left out was because he was unwanted. Then you said

Quote from cuz69:
No my friend, I am neither. If you watched the clips of when GW was told of the 9/11 attacks... He was ridiculed for his expression, Like they were trying to imply he didn't give a shit or know what to do.

What the hell does this have to do with your prior statement??

Quote from cuz69:
Again with the hurricane 3 years ago. Criticized for not doing anything or doing enough.

Again, what does this have to do with your prior statement?? And then, in a bizarre twist, you say...

Quote from cuz69:
the left would have tied JM to GW had he showed up at the convention, in a sense, as trying to tell the American people they are one in the same and don't give a shit about the American people or America.

Here, you seem to be admitting that the Republican strategists who made sure that Bush was kept away from the convention were right to do so!!

Maybe get some sleep and try again tomorrow?
