At least we’re waving flags and not burning them.

Which is a clear sign of patriotism…right.

lower taxes during a recession which the right not only allowed to happen but basically happened by thier design will no longer be on the table. No matter who is in office next they will raise taxes. The only difference is who will bear the brunt of those taxes….

And also the degree of taxation. I think you are right that the next president will raise taxes, but without a doubt Obama or Clinton would raise it more than McCain to support their socialized medicine plans. And the degree of taxation on carbon dioxide emissions will be higher with a Democrat. As for the comment regarding the “design” of our recession, maybe Democrats should be more responsible with their mortgages.

strong national security under this admin has proven to be a joke…..any kid could have planned better than this. You don’t put inocompetent people in charge of serious matters and seriously expect positive results do you…..well it appears that you do.

We haven’t had a domestic terrorist attack since 9/11.

Strong family values…..ha, like the right knows anything at all about that. It is just a convenient flag for you to wave to get your way like patriotism(fake in your case).

At least we’re waving flags and not burning them.

get used to being in the minority.

It hasn’t been that bad so far considering Democrats have completely bowed to every Republican demand. Name a single major legislative victory the Democrats have had in the 110th session of Congress without having compromised key goals to the Republicans. I won’t hold my breath.

The Republican party isn’t broken, just out of favor. Principles like low taxes, strong national security, and the sanctity of the family as an institution aren’t ideas that will just fade away.

I know this thread is dead but I just couldn’t resist this one. You may be right but you sure read indicators differently than everyone else to make such an assessment.

ThinkB. You really need to get off this stupid idea that liberals don’t support the troops, and that we should stay in the war to support the troops. Its such a transparent fallacy that you just sound as stupid as the idea. Troops are in Iraq because of their leadership, military and civilian. What liberals are against is the leadership which keeps them there. If the leadership ordered the soldiers home do you think they would stay? If you gave the solkiers an option to go or stay, do you think that to a man they would stay? Would even 5% stay?

Here is my deal. YOu stop this fallacious tripe, and I will stop asking the chickenhawks to prove their bravery by signing up for Iraq. Just aa stupid as your claim. I would though, like to see the war supporters contribute my share of the taxes needed to support the war. Seems logical and possible….

What the pseudo expert does not say [because he cannot intelligently make that claim] is why all those people would come up with the figure of 2 per cent. Is he claiming that the former commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps is lying as well as Thomas Ricks? What do they have to gain by lying? It should be obvious that the pseudo expert has zero credibility who has no reservations about presenting his false claims as if they are true.

The only reason this country would elect “another GOP idiot” would be if the majority of the people supported one–again. Let’s see how well your 29% theory holds up come election time.

I’d give little boy Barak 10 states, max.

Experience matters, plain and simple. I think Barak might have a good chance at the Presidency when he earns his stripes.

For now, the country is really looking for a serious president who can get things done. Obama has been pretty good on the stump and is a very well-spoken young man. However, you’ll see that America is really looking for a strong guy who can roll up his sleeves and get the job done.

You’ll see.

You said it, not me.

Why don’t you leave That Guy 5, you’re the people who ruined this country. Why should I leave, I pay more taxes than you, contribute more, am a better person? You leave you POS.

Oh I get it. You pay more taxes than me so you “own” more of this country than I do. I’m sure I could earn more and pay more taxes if I hadn’t spend three years in the peace corps. I guess I’ll just pack my things, break up with your mom over a seafood dinner, and leave the country that I love. I’m sorry I “ruined” your country by voting.

When the republicans in congress had control they literally told the democrats to sit down and shut up that they(republicans)were in power.

Speaker Pelosi and Majoriy Leader Reid have been doing a great job doing nothing. Its their strategy to elect a Democratic president: show that they are completely ineffective with Bush in office, and hope their frustrations will help gather votes.

I forget who asked how much longer we should spend in Iraq, so I’ll just give my answer: 36 years. Seems like a good number. Us “republicriminals” don’t need justification for opinions, right? Because we’re fundamentally flawed in our logic?

Listen up, freak: your time is coming to an end. Start getting used to the idea of permanent minority status for your broken political party.

I know you’re talking about ThinkBalanced, but I just couldn’t resist this one. The Republican party isn’t broken, just out of favor. Principles like low taxes, strong national security, and the sanctity of the family as an institution aren’t ideas that will just fade away. The Democrats, on the other hand, can’t decide who should be their nominee for President. Last week’s polls show 28% of Hillary supporters will vote for Senator McCain if Obama gets the nomination. That sounds like you don’t have a firm grip on your base (read: broken).

I haven’t yet been named as an unindicted co-conspirator either. Kilo, do you ever read your posts, before hitting the “enter” key? That one was a real doozy.

What exactly are you trying to say, by calling Murtha “someone who hasn’t yet been named in a corruption probe?”

Too bad I missed this thread yesterday. An ugly, mean little troll came here to pick a fight. I would have been happy to give it one. Anyone who describes 70% of America as “the extreme left” has completely exhausted his rhetorical ammunition.

This troll sounds like a real deadender to me, seething with bitterness that its world of Neocon propaganda and lies has been exposed, dooming its gang of fascists to defeat by the forces of good that remain in this country.

Listen up, freak: your time is coming to an end. Start getting used to the idea of permanent minority status for your broken political party.

Because staying in Iraq isn’t “Balanced”.

I must take a minor exception to your calling the Republicriminals the “conservative” party. There is nothing conservative about the reckless radicals who have seized the Republican party and our government. They are dangerous ideologues who have gained the blind support of religious fanatics. That’s the combination which has squandered the youth, treasure, honor and reputation of our country. Calling the neocon scum “conservative” perpetuates a myth and does a diservice to many fine, real, conservatives both past and present. It’s really just semantics, but, I don’t like seeing the guilty parties legitimized in even the smallest way.

Over the years as the democrats fairly competently ran things the repubs convinces a few more people at a time that they would be better at running things.

The fallacy of that statement is before our eyes today. The only thing the conservative party in America can contribute is to play the part of the minority obstrutionist party……..because even democrats can become drunk with too much power I suppose……It would be hard to come up with at comparison to what we have witnessed these last 7 years though.

When the republicans in congress had control they literally told the democrats to sit down and shut up that they(republicans)were in power.

That was a sad but true fact as evidenced by the decisions made by a government controlled by the right. Immoral war, economy going in the ditch, health care crisis, ect, etc.

Soon the shoe will be on the other foot and guess what my suggestion to the right is? The right has failed America at every turn in the last 7 years and the evidence can no longer be hidden.

A perfect example is this thread which you use to rationalize your greed and violence is about the loss of two more American soldiers to your Imperialist adventure…..and never needed to happen.

Why don’t you leave That Guy 5, you’re the people who ruined this country. Why should I leave, I pay more taxes than you, contribute more, am a better person? You leave you POS.

but you’ll do anything to avoid service, won’t you, bigmouth, worthless coward? You should be exiled; you don’t deserve this country. You will be the one to leave, not we patriots. You will be driven out. History is against you. Your kind: the greedy, the traitorous, the racist, the hateful, always lose. Always.
