Fair enough, Bryan. I just get annoyed when people blindly defend Obama when he clearly isn't doing a good job (albeit he started in a tough spot). It's almost like they're afraid to admit that maybe they made a mistake. I'm not sure what any of the other candidates are planning in terms of fixing the budget, but I know that spending like a drunken sailor on leave isn't working.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Very true.
Walking out of meetings doesn't help either.

The bi-partisian Simpson Bowles report came out with recommendations of cuts and taxes, both loopholes closing and raising some rates. The discussion here was that b/c both sides didn't love it, it was probably a good proposal.

when the rubber hits the road, will both sides be able to compromise?

I'm looking for a candidate who recognizes they work for us. Government has an insatialble appetite they need to be controlled. There is a lot that can be gained from fasting and prayer. Washington has outlawed God and gourges itself on our taxes.

Well, thats where we start to disagree at a really intrinsic level. I 100% support your ability to believe what you want and worship what you want, but keep it out of government!

You disagree with yourself at a really intrinsic level if you 100% support albin's ability to believe what he wants and worship what he wants if he chooses to believe in God, and that God is who created us with the inalienable rights that inspired the creation of this country to secure those rights for its citizens, but, on the other hand, insist that he keep that God out of government.
