In case you forgot, George W Bush enacted the first bailout, and it's one of the few things I think he got right! I'd rather bail out the banks than see the economy crash into a depression.
Unfortunately I think they're being serious. Above this exchange they expressed relief that they watch Glenn Beck, and thus are very informed about things.
Okay braintrust, here is the fact. Bush kept the Iraq and Afghanistan wars off of his budget the entire time he was in office. A HUGE chunk of that total is Bush's wars that Obama put on the budget for the first time since we invaded. No more emergency war supplemental bills. They're on the budget now.
And thanks for clearing up why you're so uninformed. Glenn Beck is a self-proclaimed "rodeo clown", and the fact that you don't think you look like a fool for parroting his absolute bullshit puts a smile on my face. Tell me, how did that interview with Massa go? The one that had the potential to "change the course of this nation"? LOL
It's funny how sure of yourselves you Republicans are. Hell just a few years ago I remember you guys chanting "permanent republican majority". Good luck in November...
African-Americans vote 95% Democratic even for the white guys. That's been a fact since the civil rights movement. Going by your logic, any white person who voted for McCain is a racist because they voted for the white candidate.
Take this ignorant bullshit back to stormfront or whatever internet cesspool you managed to slither out of.
The Republicans didn't seem to mind declaring victory in Iraq and pulling out before George H.W. Bush's first term was up. What you describe already happened once. No one here in the U.S. seemed to care at all when that happened the first time...
It will be a mess, there is no doubt about it, but we already made the mess. Are we to stay there for 100 years to babysit them now? When is enough enough?
It depends on what your definition of 'sqander' is.
I think providing health care for our own citizens would be a valuable thing.
Iraq has already cost a trillion dollars, and we aren't at the 10 year mark yet. I don't remember one scintilla of debate about how much that was going to cost. Of course at the time Colin Powell was busy waving vials of talcum powder in front of the UN, and the Secretary of State was talking about "proof in the form of a mushroom cloud". That type of fear-mongering tends to shut up anyone worrying about weather the war is necessary, or how much money we're spending on it.
It got modded troll, but it's 100% true. The Iraq war wasn't a necessary war, at all. It has wasted a trillion dollars, and we have nothing to show for it but a bunch of fresh graves. The money we wasted in Iraq is the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. 9 billion dollars in Iraq is totally unaccounted for, and the Republican deficit hawks didn't seem to care when it happened and they don't seem to care now. We wasted enough money in Iraq to pay for universal health care, AND a trip to the moon.
It's only a pyramid scheme if America ceases to exist... Also, great outlook there. Let's not keep people alive too long, because that could cost some money!....
Like I said, you're a moron.
"But hey, why pay attention to his actions when you can make up lies and claim that he's the polar opposite of what he is."
Indeed.
You're an idiot. You're trying to tell me Obama has "total control of industries" and is "redistributing wealth"? And you have the nerve to tell ME to learn what I'm talking about?
This is the main problem with right-wingers these days. You idiots live in a fantasy world.
Amusing. Republicans are so confused today. Upthread we get one stating that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, and the Republicans should get credit for ending slavery, and here we have one calling the Civil War the "war of northern aggression". It's quite amusing. Some of you want to embrace Lincoln, and the rest of you want to say the Civil War was only about states rights. Cognitive Dissonance is alive and well in the modern conservative movement.
Ah trotting out the old right-wing MLK is a communist line. You guys need to get your minds out of the 60's. Not everything is a communist plot. The same assholes that said MLK was a communist in the 60's, are the same ones that call Obama a socialist today.
Referring to Democrats as abortionists is absolutely retarded. Do you have a hard time supporting Republicans as well? The last time I checked Jesus didn't think too highly of capital punishment, or war.
Oh so now conservatives get to judge who the "real christians" are.
For the record I'm and atheist, and you're validating much of what I hate about organized religion, and the right-wing's usurpation of a religion for their political goals.
Well that's simple. They should sling assault rifles over their shoulders as they go to these meetings. It's a valid form of protest now, according to modern conservatives.

Slow down. Breathe. That run-on sentence is nearly impossible to decipher.
By the way, just so you know. Anything funded by "the people" is socialism.

It's amazing listening to them pretend to care about the future of science, after the whole stem-cell research debacle of W's term.
It's funny how sure of yourselves you Republicans are. Hell just a few years ago I remember you guys chanting "permanent republican majority". Good luck in November...
How ironic. You HATE socialism, so you advocate for a government funded, socialized trip to the moon?
I suppose you also hate the post office, fire department, police department, military, public roads, the electrical grid, etc. etc. etc...

Newsflash: NASA's budget has increased since Obama got in office...

People attacking our military might have something to do with us occupying their countries.
Yeah well when you get cancer, reject treatment because after all, there is no correlation between access to health insurance and longevity.
Or just stop waging unnecessary war that would pay for a trip to the moon AND health care.
That would be too rational though, and the military industrial complex wouldn't be too happy.
I'd rather have health care than a trip to the moon for 4 people.
Maybe if we hadn't squandered a trillion dollars on the unnecessary war in Iraq we could afford things like going to the moon again.

If you want to go there, fine. How can a conservative be a christian when Jesus preached about helping the poor?
