*raises hand high*
Feel free to ask me again in 10 months, I'm sure the answer will be the same.
At least this time you posted a website that contains some actual facts.

It's not like any of us mentioned what would happen with one party rule. We just got an agenda rammed down the throats of hardworking American's. Congrats. YOU turned America into Massachusetts. Nothing can be done to stop it short of a revolution. Can't wait for Pelousi,I mean Obama, to start her Supreme Court picks. Then they can change the Constitution. 
The truth is your all swallowing hard, sitting on your crossed fingers, hoping and praying you made the right choice for your childrens future because from where I'm sitting, you effed up big time.

Well since we sat that way for the last 8 years, welcome to the club.
And no, I never believed all of it. I voted for BHO because I believe he will end up being a fairly middle of the road Dem president. Do I have issues with some of the fat on the stimulus bill? Yup. Do I think all of it is a waste of time and pork? Not even a little bit.

Middle of the road!!! Then your answer is,... Yes I believed all his B.S., I had no choice, he had no record for me to go on

The speed in which people forget 8 years of a Republican president and 6 years of a Republican controlled congress is what got us into this mess. Copious amounts of deregulation in congress, combined with the fact that every one of Bush's financial advisers and appointees decided to turn a blind eye are what brought us to where we are now. You want to blame someone for our *current* state - blame your neo-conservative, lord and savior Bush. It is the policies that he drove down our throats resulting in our current state.
Maybe if we didn't dump almost $1trillion into frivolous, republican driven wars in the Middle East, we'd have that money to use here in the US. Or if the entire focus of every political decision was not based on the "War on Terror" or Iran or Arlen Spector (a Republican) investigating the Patriots or my favorite - the republican driven "Freedom Fries" (remember that waste of time?).
As I've said before, for every baseless reason someone wants to give me for why we're in this current economic state and why it's the democrats' fault, I'll give you a dozen more why it's not.
I'm not even taking into consideration the 25 years that the Has-been McCain didn't do a damn thing in Congress and how he'd look like a deer in headlights trying to deal with these issues. He couldn't even manage his campaign and you think he'd manage the country better?

Who said anything about forgetting. The Democrats were able to filibuster and block many proposals by the Republicans. Checks and balances are no longer in place. Barney Frank was as much to blame as anyone. The real reasons the conservatives lost power was because none of them had the backbone to stand up to their values. They let a minority of Democrats scare them from doing what they believed.
The B.S. you spew about McCain makes me laugh. So you went and voted for a complete unknown, with no voting record and no accomplishments. Brilliant.
Please give me facts as to why the Bush administration caused our plight. The thing you fail to mention when talking about war is the fact that many, many people want you and your children dead. At the very least I believe that is why this President is a danger to us.
It's to bad for the left that the "I told you so's" started so early. Give it time and you a little honesty. You can't be happy how things have started

"Sunlight before signing"  The American Public will have 5 days to view before signing??????????
The Senate didn't even have 5 hours before voting after it came out from behind closed doors.
This bill was the bgigest "lick and a promise" i've ever seen.

So from what I understand, Congressional Republicans believe trickle down tax cuts are good, as are some infrastructure projects (assuming the infrastructure is in your state).
But what other government spending do they believe will create jobs?
I'm not hearing of any credible counter proposals from the Right.

It's either 'Do Nothing' which they can't afford to do, b/c if things continue to slide, they look even worse for anyone who said 'Do Nothing'
OR it's a case of "You're wrong, but we don't know what right is"
