If you voted for Obama then and would consider voting for a Republican now, yes I am. You're actually part of the problem since, for example (one of many), the Obama agenda has raised the national debt from 20% of GDP to 25% currently and has put us on track for the debt to reach 90% of GDP.
You're such a retard. This is Bush's deal and it always has been, so turn off FOX news for a second and educate yourself. The huge deficit was there long before Obama took office and he's done everything his economic advisers has advised him to do, but the damage caused by Bush was too extensive. Unemployment was skyrocketing straight up and passed 8% before Obama had even settled in. It was on a 20+month increase with no sign of it leveling off. But that was Obama's fault right? The scare tactics of "socialism," funded by the fear-mongers on the Right, have resonated with ignorant Americans everywhere it seems. It is the same tactic used by idiots like Era Taft Benson who opposed the Civil Rights movement, calling in an unconstitutional encroachment of government.
And because we're a country of racists and idiots who demand instantaneous change only when the President is Democrat, black, or both, you refuse to understand the problem on its own terms and choose to use the darky as the scape goat and regurgitate the idiotic talking points, like the script Paul Rand just ripped off from some Right Wing think tank. And yes, I've seen the signs at the tea parties, up close and personal. Never seen so many pissed off white racists in all my life. The Tea Party is at least 97% white. And that is a fair representation of "we the people"?? The Tea Party was formed and funded by a few Right Wing billionaires just weeks after Obama took office. Coincidence? It took off before Obama had the chance to do anything wrong, but they already knew what they were going to blame him for long before he stepped foot in office. The beauty of the deception is that it worked. They actually have millions of ignorant Americans thinking Obama is to blame for our current plight. That his failed attempt to offer government health insurance was the reason Banks decided to keep the bail out money and not give it back to the taxpayers in the form of loans. If Obama tried to force the banks to do what they said they'd do, the Right was trying to use this as an example of a socialistic dictator trying to use government to coerce private enterprise. What a bunch of idiots.
But what I love is how every Right winger and their dog claims to be "Constitutional Conservatives" now, even when half of them couldn't tell me what the first amendment says, including that dim-wit Christine O'Donnell. The irony is that most of these folks claim to know the constitution and the Bible. There is nothing Christian about the Right anymore, and people like bcspace illustrate why. His religion is not Mormonism anymore, it is loyalty to the Right Wing propaganda machine. You used to hear of people claiming a fellow brother or sister wasn't 100% republican or democrat, but nowadays it has flipped with the bigots. Nowadays you hear them talking about how a fellow brother or sister isn't a good Christian or Mormon, or whatever, simply because they do not vote the same way. Unbelievable.
The fact is the Right has absolutely no answers to the problem. Their platform runs on attacking Obama, usually inventing statistics and figures that don't add up. But their audience is ignorant, so they are successful. But they have no answers when forced to answer. Their politicians have been asked recently what they would "cut" from the spending, but they fumble their words and change the subject because they don't know. They never thought that far ahead while they were ranting against socialism and propping themselves up as "more American" than anyone who votes Democrat. They say they'd cut spending, but what spending? Defense, which comprises more than 80% of all government spending? Hell no. Never. Which proves they are not really interested in cutting spending or reducing earmarks. We gotta keep buying F-22's and meaningless cutting edge weaponry so they can go home and jerk off to the US flag, and be rest assured that is ever we are attacked, that we can blow them up. As if this hasn't been a certainty for decades with or without new defense spending.
These people are so stupid they have no idea they are doing precisely what Right Wing billionaires (who want to continue the tradition of buying policy) expected them to do once the ignorant were fed propaganda about pride, patriotism, nationalism, the constitution, and managed to convince them that all the "founding fathers" were actually Reagan conservatives, but didn't realize it.
bcspace is the same Beck drone who thinks the idiotic Lafferty curve still holds water. That as long as we continue to cut taxes for the rich, then that increases jobs because they'll have more money to spend. But we know that was a myth propagated by those who have been buying politicians along with propaganda airtime on Fox News and the IEB network. Corporations are sitting on more funds than ever and they're still denying jobs to Americans. Why? Because a corporation knows nothing of American patriotism. It knows nothing but profit, and profit nowadays is more bountiful by hiring overseas or investing in new technologies that are making the demand for low-skilled laborers obsolete. We're a nation of over educated people who cannot find work and we are in this hole because we blew two trillion over the past decade on two wars based on lies, and the Bush tax cuts that the idiots want to extend - even the idiots who don't make $250k to begin with!
