Your candidate didn't win the election and you've never gotten over it. Your party was so devisive and so damaged our government that the public threw them out on their self-serving behinds. You just can't get over it. You label people with ideological labels that their actions and decisions don't justify. Even though the last administration had eight years to screw things up, you're unwilling to give the Obama administration even two weeks!
If you want to blame someone for driving the U.S. towards nationalism or socialism, blame the former administration. It was their profligate spending, lack of leadership and ideological and incompetent governance that's gotten us to where we are. It was your candidate who said on more than one occasion that he agreed with that approach.
So far, President Obama has signed only one bill passed by Congress--HB 1, which provides for equal pay for equal work for women. Do you want to know my feelings on that bill? I support the legislation and agree with it.
If you want to tag some politicians with your goofy "socialist" label, try George Bush, Dick Cheney, Denny Hastert, Trent Lott and Bill Frist. The problems that have gotten us to where we are now had their genisis on their watch. If our economy has deteriorated to the point that dramatic action by the government is needed to stabilize it, blame it on them. Stick your "socialist" label on their foreheads! If you don't agree that that was their ideology, then change it up and put a big INCOMPETENT stamp on them.
In the meantime, your lame attempts to blame what has happened to our country on an administration that has been on the job for about two weeks is so stupid as to be laughable.

Again, another lecture based on my comment about the ceiling on exectutive pay. Do you lecture people all day.
I have said consistently since and during the primaries that I felt that President Obama brings nothing but socialist themes to the WH. Should I change my thoughts because he won the election ? Is that what you want me to do ?
My candidate you say......if you can show me ONE SINGLE POST where I alluded to anyone as MY candidate or even hinted at it...you will read many times where I expressed fear of our current President, but NONE.....NONE where I actually supported anyone else thus you are simply making things up !
Next, and there is so much...PLEASE SHOW ME WHERE I BLAMED WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THIS COUNTRY ON THE CURRENT PRESIDENT. THAT never happened either.
Please if you feel the need to preach, at least make sure you are dealing with facts. All that you accuse me of .....I never declared President Obama unfit or EVEN IMPLIED IT and why you must make these emotional and dramatic charges escapes me. I will criticize the President when I wish...or at least we used to be able to do that....and will hope that you will not take the liberty of putting words in my mouth.
Oh, and your comment about "my party" while not funny to you brings a roar of laughter to me and anyone who knows me but that will be for another time but you are not even in the same atmosphere with that charge !!!
One more thing I should mention.....S 81 was not in fact a bill "which provides for equal pay for equal work for women." It actually set parameters on occurences to eliminate the statute of limitations on cases involving equal pay as a result of Lilly Ledbetter having her case thrown out by the Supreme Court, and NO I do not want to hear your opinion on the case....I know all about it...it is not new news at all. Was kept out of law by the Republicans for years and revolves around a lady who didnt know or realize her pay was not equal for about 10 years or so and the original law had a statute of limitations.
