Still waiting for it to happen.
If you actually think any politician will "help" you, you're horribly mistaken.

Likwid, you are correct...anyone who said Obana was going to take away their guns is a right-wing extremist. That's irrational paranoia.
When I say we have north of $50 trillion in debt, that's not irrational paranoia, that's mathematical fact. It's also mathematical fact to say that Obama has done exactly nothing to address entitlement shortfalls. Lastly, it's irrefutable fact when I say that Paul Ryan is offering a solution (maybe not the best solution, but a direct solution) to this, and for his courage, Obama attacks Ryan's character. Note that Obama doesn't say that Ryan is wrong (because he can't), he simply says that Ryan is a "meanie".

I could not agree more. I don't want any help. But I don't want my kids facing a 50% income tax rate when the graduate from sollege either, and unless we start making some tough choices, that's what we're facing.
Not sure what your point was. You didn't mention anything about the debt, all you did was bring up right-wing paranoid whack-jobs. Being nervous about $50 trillion in debt doesn't make one paranoid. If one continues to ignore that problem, like politicians have for 50 years, that's criminally negligent. Do you agree?
Again, you offered no solutions to the problem posed, all you did was hurl insults. Right out of page 1 of the liberal playbook.
Liberals cannot deny that we have crushing debt. Nor can they deny that deep cuts are the only way to make a meaningful impact. But they don't have the integrity or principle to say it out loud, because saying "we need cuts" doesn't play well in Peoria. So liberals wait for someone like Paul Ryan to say it, and then they accuse Ryan of not caring about poor people.
Try making anything I said here wrong.
