Agreed, however, the Dems don't get a 'pass' either. I'm sure that a majority of the folks in their districts really don't want their power bill, gas prices, groceries, etc... to double either. That's what this thing will ultimately do. There is NO WAY to increase taxes/fees like this and not have a HUGE ripple effect. All 219 (or all the ones who continue to vote for things without reading them for that matter) need to go. None of us are allowed to go to work and not do our job and then expect to continue to get paid. Why should these jokers? I would suggest that they all get out a copy of the constitution and go over it, but they probably wouldn't read it either.
Have you heard ONE reasonable argument against Nuclear Power? One with facts? I used to work in Nuclear Power for about 10 years and most folks that are against it are just plain ignorant. No clue at all.
How much CO2 gets expelled into the atmosphere when obama or gibbs begins talking (sans teleprompter of course)...
Umm, we and errr, and umm, we did great, uhh and umm we, but you need what umm we umm think, let me be clear, umm, uhh
Glad you're happy. Now we can all belong to the New World Order and walk around in fear of doing something that will get us in trouble with the all wonderful government, like speaking or thinking. You folks amaze me.
I think you know the answer to those questions. So I'll leave them 'rhetorical'... ha
That's why the gov't will not decrease with a liberal power grab. They WANT that fascism type gov't. The funny thing is that everyone who voted for this crap will be the first ones complaining about the government 'being in their business'. Well, "NO CRAP!", really?
I was in the military (Navy) during the end of the Reagan era, Bush (the first), and the beginning of the Clinton 'experiment'. I watched the moral and support drop like a rock when Clinton came in. Clinton definitely put us in bad situations (events are classified, so I won't go into details). We didn't get the maintenance support we needed (parts, shut-down time, training, etc). One example, we were loading frozen meat for a long run once and we noticed that the boxes were stamped with "Rejected by the Illinois State Penitentiary". Talk about a wake-up call. The prisoners were eating better than we were.
My rambling is to just to let you know I feel for you and your son. Most red-blooded Americans stand behind him even when the folks running our gov't or media do not appear to do so. God bless.
"What you fail to recognize" is that most politicians don't have a clue about most of the bills, stimulus packages, budgets, etc that they pass, regardless of the subject matter. That's why they don't read them. Many of them are uneducated in the sciences and for the most part ignore many of the statistics that would help them make 'wise' decisions. Take for example, most liberals are firmly against Nuclear Power because they are ignorant. If you ask 'Why are you against nuclear power?" You get responses like "It kills millions of people!" and stares at you in that 'everyone knows that' look. In fact NO ONE has been killed by a nuclear power plant in this country. No one. None. Nada. If they can't take instruction, education, or discussions around something that is already available, how in the heck are they going to have meaningful discussions around future technologies? They have no business getting involved in anything other than the priorities set aside for them in the Constitution. Period.
I'm so sick of hearing about how more secure we are. If I hear "We are now more secure since we've blah, blah, blah...<insert non-sensical policy here>" one more time, I'm going to vomit. It started with "We are a more secure nation now that we are going to close Guantanamo Bay." That makes zero sense. That's like saying that "All women are more secure now that we are going to release all convicted rapists in the country." Jeez...
I keep trying to figure out if:
1) they are that stupid
2) they think we are that stupid...
That's funny. I was thinking the same thing.
