Predictions?

[[AK]Hylander]

Now my commentary:

Republicans are not "the Party of God."

It certainly isn't the Democratic Party who have a problem with "torture" interrogations of our enemies, yet have no problem slaughtering "inconvenient" babies. Yeah - makes sense to me.

There has been much gloom and doom about the evil of "one party rule." Last time I checked, Republicans ruled with supreme authority from 2000 to 2006.

They had complete control of the Presidency, the Senate, the Congress, and the Supreme Court. Yet, according to most of you, somehow, none of the ills of our nation seem to be the fault of any Republican.

Not correct. The Republican Party did not have a filibuster proof majority. Lets put the shoe on the other foot - Liberals have had control of congress for a couple of years now. What did they deliver of their "promises" to get elected? Jack Squat.

Conveniently, the economic woes of our nation are the fault of the all-powerful Chris Dodd and the faggot congressman, Barney Frank.

Considering a fix for the major issue that has put our financial markets in the current situation could have been resolved but was blocked by Dodd and Frank - that is absolutely correct.

Our Financial System is not broken, it had a significant flaw and nobody in Washington did anything to fix it because the economy was fine and the housing market was booming. Home ownership was at record numbers and everyone was 'happy', as long as the sun was shining. Well, it started to rain and people discovered their umbrella had a major hole in it.

I have yet to see any influential figure within the conservative movement take a sober look in the mirror and actually point a finger at themselves.

Then your blinded by your hatred of Bush. I've continually bashed Bush on several fronts ranging from Tax "welfare" to his fiscal policies in general. George Bush is NOT a fiscal conservative by any stretch of the imagination. Tax cuts alone do not make a fiscal conservative.

How did we get here? Is it the "liberal media" or did the Republicans just plain **** it up?

If you're talking about the financial markets - no, it wasn't the liberal media. It was both parties, but at least one tried to rectify the lacking oversight and the Democrats attacked them for being biased against the "poor" and "minorities", while Dodd and Frank killed the bill in committee.

Whiny, bitching, cry-baby conservatives love to prattle on and on about the "liberal media." To be fair, except for The Wall Street Journal and FOX News (Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, John Gibson, Neil Cavuto, Steve Doocy, E.D. Hill, Brian Kilmeade, Brit Hume), Clear Channel, Laura Ingraham, Dr. Laura, Rush Limbaugh, Hugh Hewitt, Ann Coulter, Newsmax, G. Gordon Liddy, Michael Reagan, Michael Savage, The New York Post, Sinclair Broadcast Group (WLOS13, Fox 45, WTTO21, WB49, KGAN, WICD, WICS, WCHS, WVAH, WTAT, WSTR, WSYX, WTTE, WKEF, WRGT, KDSM, WSMH, WXLV, WURN, KVWB, KFBT, WDKY, WMSN, WVTV, WEAR, WZTV, KOTH, WYZZ, WPGH, WGME, WLFL, WRLH, WUHF, KABB, WGGB, WSYT, WTTA), David Horowitz, Rupert Murdoch, PAX, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, they're right.

And these are how many out of the country's ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN national affiliates? You need some perspective. Any person who denies the overwhelming bias of the mass media is just that, in denial and blind of factual information. Even most liberals concede that fact. The ONLY area Conservatives have control is the radio - and Liberals want to silence that with the Censorship, I mean "Fairness" Doctrine.

The ever-expanding list of Republican failures has become difficult to manage, yet somehow no Republican is to blame.

Iraq - Mismanaged to large extent the first few years. But without surrendering, is now a victory. Victory would have never happened under Democratic leadership whether you approved of the war or not.

Katrina - Blame starts at home.

Erosion of the middle class - Should I debunk this with econometrics?

Erosion of individual freedom - Please name them. Or do you want the freedom to organize terrorist cells and carry out terrorist acts?

Torture - See abortion

Science policy run by theocrats - Education system dominated by Liberals.

Complete meltdown of our financial system - See above. Not to mention, our country needs capital investment and Obama thinks taxing this investment is the way to encourage investment? If all the "poor" need the money to pay their bills - how does that lead to capital inflow? NObamanomics to the rescue!

Massive socialist bailout of our banking system. Also 700 BILLION and counting - (I hated the bailout plan from the beginning and stated so numerous times) - Plan developed and encouraged by Democrats. Why don't you explain why the Democrats didn't pass the first bailout bill THEY DEVELOPED when they had enough votes to do so?

Nationalization of our largest insurance company, AIG - Again, plan developed with Democrats. (I hated it from the core, I hate it now)

this is a day of national transformation.

You're right - we'll take several steps toward a more West European Socialism. I mean, it makes sense, right? We're the worlds only economic and military super power - why would you want to maintain that when we can digress into being on par with Europe? BRILLIANT.

Even "IF" McCain somehow won this election - it won't matter much. Democrats control the congress, and it will be a stalemate on a vast majority of policy regardless. (A good thing, the less government does - the better) But in the long run, Liberals have dominated our educational system and for the better part of two decades have been teaching our children 'socialistic' values. Don't keep score at sports games, "everyone is a winner", the government should take more responsibility of areas of your life, capitalism is "unfair", etc etc. Most schools don't have a single class that teaches students how to succeed in economics, finance, or capitalism in general. These children are at voting age and will only increase in numbers as the years pass. The older generation will pass on and the voting values of these children, illegal immigrants, etc will be much more prominent in the national record. The failure of capitalism from within politically has already started. I was just hoping I'd be dead and gone before the erosion of American Capitalistic values took hold.

AND - For the record, I voted for more Democrats than Republican on the local level. Our last two Mayors have both been Democrats and very good Mayors. I was also very close to voting against Charlie Dent for his flip flop support of the bailout plan (I actually called and told his office he just lost my vote) - but his opponent is a train wreck and had to have a debate censored before it aired because she proclaimed two local banks in failure, which was completely false and could have caused a run on the two institutions locally.
