Ok lets talk turkey....My representative, from Colorado Springs, is a Republican. God himself could run but if he had a D behind is name he would lose. This guy doesn't have to run, debate anything to get elected. He has a job for life. The funny thing is even the Repubs didn't want him but he won the primary and there you have it.

My issue is with the hypocritical nature of politics...not you...politics. Eight years ago my people were stunned with the turn of events. Whenever, and this is personal experience, we said anything about Bush we got. But he is the President and Commander and Chief he deserves respect. It only got worse after Iraq. Protesting against the war was a blood sport....

Now look at what people say here in this forum? All kinds of claims...this thread is how Obama is killing the American Dream. Where is the respect for the President now? So someone will reply....you all hated Bush so its ok.

Hypocrites....it will never end.
My distaste for 15-20-30-40-year congresspersons holds true for all of them, party irrespective.

As far as commentary for/against any administration, my thanks to the Founding Fathers and the First Amendment. In my lifetime I can't remember any president not getting verbally slammed to some degree. It seems to go with the office, and every candidate knows that today's giant is tomorrow's gnat. And since no president (at least in my lifetime) has sainthood nomination in his future, sometimes there's actually fire where there is smoke.

This part of your post....

"Eight years ago my people were stunned with the turn of events."


YOUR PEOPLE....I do not believe I hear folks talk like that and almost every post you make is dripping with this attitude. YOUR PEOPLE....you do know that party is simply a matter of registration and not some kind of birthright ?

YOUR PEOPLE....I cannot even imagine saying something like that about any political party or movement !

On behalf of THOSE PEOPLE..thank you for taking the time to join us !

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how a young President in office for only 170 days has been able to overturn or reverse the well-run, admired and respected system of governance put in place by all those multiple term members of Congress who have been serving us in some cases for decades.

If Obama is that good, we picked the right guy!

Who is WE? His popularity is going south real fast and there will be deniers everywhere saying that they never voted for the guy. Just like Carter. How the heck did Carter become president when no one voted for him? Must be some kind of voo doo magic.

You didn't need 170 minutes to see where this socialist was coming from. I guess our congress is no smarter the the millions who blindly voted for him. Of course alot of the fools were only voting against Bush . Somebody forgot to tell them that Bush didn't run. I guess all them advertising ads that said McCain=Bush worked. Subliminal....like in the movie theaters they would put popcorn between the frames on the screen and your mind would have you go buy some popcorn. Yes....vote Obama...change...

Give it up....we all know who your people are and you admitted it in a previous post.

Good move. Click on ANY thread in the political chit chat forum and they ALL turn out the same very quickly.

Methinks some of ye have too short a memory. Do you also remember
 
the Bush whackers who could turn a bad weather weather day discussion into a diatribe on why it was Bush's fault???? And they still do.....no matter the subject.
In addition, since some have their choice now in the WH, the very same who had a comment on every aspect of the then reigning administration, and went to Bush whacking daily like a religion....are conspicuous by their absence and lack of commentary about today's affairs.

The excuse of the the tone and attitude of the thread keep one away is pure unadulterated BS....it didn't bother any of them during the Bush administration or the BHO campaign. And just like all the other forums, when you see something that is not to one's liking....just git along to the next one....you are certain to find something ye likes.

I would add to your great comments BTK, that if you take the time AND WANT TO KNOW THINGS, read some of the threads on health care and the stimulus and perhaps you will learn something or have the time to read some of the links that will provide new horizons on issues that face this country.

Dont be one that only posts if the subject is Sarah Palin....read the threads....discard what youdont like but maybe, just maybe you will learn something. I learn or get links to learn from this forum each and every day !

I have been dipping into the archives here and was reading a few this morning from September. What a contrast. The Obama is great...McCain-Palin are fools posts are everywhere. There was one woman, in particular, that was gleefully mocking Palin and praising Obama as the second coming on a daily basis. Most of them are surprisingly absent lately.

Interesting reading....
Another great thread about USA hated around the world...Some real great insights with only one person...well...read it and see ....
