he was opposed to public unions (take flight traffic controllers for instance) as they can put the nation at risk. he had no problem with private unions however. lets try and be a little more honest about the issue here
just like school shootings, they dont happen often but when they do they take over the media, meanwhile 3 people were shot in my city (9th deadliest in the country) last night
they are entitled to not do business with him, just as im free to not do business with them. a shame too as i was recently recommending them to a few friends of mine, guess I will have to tell them not to use them now.
the problem is the tea party is trying to take over the republican party and make them more libertarian (or at least initially) The republican establishment is scared because many younger voters are sick and tired of both democrats and establishment republicans
clearly someone has a boner for me today. I didnt cherrypick anything. it is a fact more AMERICANS have died in combat under obama than did under bush. Call me a heartless bastard if you want but i dont give a flying fuck about people half way across the world in a war i dont believe we should have gotten into to begin with
try reading what he actually says instead of what your people tell you he says. And maybe if you didnt come off as a smug prick we could have an actual conversation
I said it was wrong from day one, not sure what admitting I needed to do. As i said check my posting history, im not a partisan hack like some people around here....
also what everyone is forgetting is that in this case (and not many others) we have a living participant in the experiment. When he gets better we will be able to pick his brain
the issue isnt that I dont blame bush, I do (just look at my post history, it will back that up) its that some things are simply pushed on bush to try and make the democrats look better, this is one of those things. instead of owning his fuckups, obama continues to blame bush for shit he has done
you wait, when the next republican president is in office in 2 years, my hatred will turn on him in a heartbeat (well, unless its rand paul, we can only hope)
its getting old, you can try and do any kind of accounting you wish but in the end the numbers dont lie, and the numbers show that under democrat rule (2007 on in the house and senate, 2009 in the presidency) the spending has gone up by a LOT
what does any of that have to do with the fact that what I said is factually correct? you are moving the goalposts again trying to place blame on the republicans for something other than what I was talking about
the shutdown was over 1 thing and 1 thing only, the delay in the mandate. if the democrats simply delayed the mandate by a year like the republicans asked, that shutdown would never have happened. you cannot argue this simple point so you point to lawsuits and other BS that has no basis to the point I am making.
we have a choice running on the republican side who would do none of the things bush or obama did, and that is rand paul. but lets ignore the facts because of an "R" right?
well, thats kind of a copout. obama said in the run up to 2008 he would bring home every troop by the end of his first year. when he saw that was not possible without causing the rise of a group such as ISIS, he backtracked. So now he KNEW it was a bad idea (funny how things change when you are in the know) and he still did it anyway to save face before an election
and when that blew up on him, he went to the tired and true "when in doubt, its bushes fault"
you are wrong.. more troops have died since obama took over than under bush in Afghanistan for one example
575 US troops died in Afghanistan during the Bush presidency. By August 18, 2010, following two troop surges initiated by President Obama, that number had doubled. Today, over 1500 US troops have died in Afghanistan since President Obama took office—and yet, little in that war-torn country has changed.

the concept of protected classes smacks in the face against the concept of equality.

when have I ever blamed clinton for anything? i was 13 when he finished his 2nd term. I think you have me confused for no one in the past 8 years now
true, good correction

not a rand paul administration
wiki is a neutral source now? try using that in college and see what it gets ya
to your last point, i will blame whoevers fault i deem it is when and if that happens

ahh yes, lets keep blaming bush....

"eradicate any trace of what Obama's doing" than doing anything positive themselves.
I would call that positive

and you do remember the past 6 years have been more of the exact same thing, but even more expensive???
