Thread: This Is Not A CraigsList Notice

Call it what you will, Bob.

I'm quite sure we travel in different social circles, and because of this are hearing different things from different people. If no one in your circle admits to racism, I guess they're a lot more politically correct then those folks I hear around here. As for people telling lies about me....I pay very little attention to what people say to me, and absolutely none to what they say about me. I'm secure enough in my own beliefs and because of this I just tell it the way I see it and don't really worry about what is "right" (socially) or what others think. We all are entitled to our own opinions and the right to express them.

Not backing Obama, but could someone again tell me how ONE MAN in a position as head of the executive branch did all these things wrong all on his own??? and maybe who it was that wasn't paying attention and allowed all these things to happen??? I'm just totally dismayed at the number of people who think everything that is wrong in this country can be blamed on one man's actions over the last three years! That is BS.

Dave, if you start looking at the BS policies he has put up and got passed, or look at all the new policies he has in motion, or even if you watch any broad cast he is in, you can truly see where the fail comes from. I understand where you are coming from in the whole "he is one man" thing. But this one man has made a lot of crappy decisions and policies that my children and grand children will still be trying to fix. I'm not going to say I am MR.Political, because I'm far from it. But it's plain to see he doesn't need to be in office again.

My true feelings are that we need to wipe the slate clean clear across the board and start with new folks that weren't in office before. Then every 10-15yrs, wipe it again and try to get back to how this government should be ran. Will that ever happen? I highly doubt it with out a revolution and serious blood shed. So now, we have to figure out what is worse?

I can say that the easiest way to cut our government's spending is to eliminate the retired politicians pay out each year. Or at least cut it back like we all have got as well. Again, will it happen? Not in my life time I bet, and I'm not a betting man.

I agree completely!!!! I just don't understand why so many people think just changing President's is going to fix anything unless huge changes are made in Congress, too. I agree that we need to vote out President Obama in November, and I consider it a total farce that with our two party system Romney is the best that either party can come up with!!!! His record isn't that great regarding people!!! He was a consultant, his company (Bain) was paid up front whether they were successful at "fixing" the company they were working with or if the company went bankrupt---as some did. As the Governor of Massachusetts he was instrumental in instituting a lot of programs that he is dead set against now!!!

It would seem to me that these days everyone in Congress is either extreme right or extreme left---and there's is no longer any such thing as a moderate who will consider both sides of an issue and pursue a course of action that is best for the majority of the people...

Watch the BS in the Senate the next few days as they "debate" what to do with all the tax cuts that expire this year!!!! Nothing will be accomplished because all involved are more concerned with the election in November then they are addressing the tax issue. Many economist are predicting a severe recession if these issues aren't resolved now and the Congress let's them slide till the new Congress and the (new?) President are sworn into office in January....

As for cutting out the retirement benefits of Congressmen, that will never happen!!! Congress would have to be the one's to change it!!!!

Dave you brought up a good point that sparked something in my mind. Remember last year when Minnesota's government just plain shut down due to their slacking on getting their tax cuts and plans together? The governor helped them out. It was crazy. I could see that happening on a larger level with what you mentioned. Not only are those politicians so focused on the election, they're totally over looking what's going on in the USA with this drought. That will bring a recession of it's own I'm afraid.
