Ever heard of the word "filibuster". As in the King of the Filibuster, Mitch McConnell.

Ever heard of the words "Great Recession" As in the condition of the economy, when Obama was shown in.

The ACA was discussed for over a year before it was voted upon. If they didn't know what was in it, what were they discussing?

Thank you. It's nice to see someone with a brain on this thread, and someone who is literate and can spell.

You answer the question, since you THINK you know what your are talking about. Even your idol, Pelogrossi said, "you have to pass it before you can find out what's in it." Filibuster, my @.. ! You are full of excuses for the party of spend with no return. I'm sure that you will blame Bush for the first two years of Dem's inept attempt to socialize America.

Other presidents, including Bush had recessions to deal with and not one of them took this long to get the country back on it's feet. Guess the loser is really Obama, for asking for a job he couldn't/still can't handle. The recession was made into the "Great Recession" by Obama and gang. Any other president would have been instrumental in the country bouncing back so fast that no one would have even realized that there had been a problem. How many still remember the recession after 9/11? 401ks dropped 50% and bounced back within a year. But, if Obama can't do it, then I guess he was/is not up for the job.

I"m not sure what or why your bring this up. Backdoor way to say it is all the republicans fault I expect.

FACT is Obama wanted the job. He coupled his wagon to BLACK RACISM (98% of the black vote) and WHITE GUILT. As the first black president in American History, Obama had a unique opportunity to, as Mandella did, lessen this cancer eating up our country. Obama clearly will leave this country more divided then I've ever seen it in my lifetime and haviing added 9 TRILLION, an incomprehensible sum, to the National debt, he will leave the US MY COUNTRY, OUR COUNTRY, more divided AND IN MORE DEBT-then in HISTORY.

I WONDER IF WE WILL EVER RECOVER FROM OBAMA-PROUDLY, I READ ABOUT OBAMA. I SAW THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM AND I DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM.

Ever since the original poster exposed mean spirited meanies my consciousness has been raised.

I’ve come across news regarding Stephen Glass. You may remember him as a left-wing Democrat who posed for a number of years as a writer of articles for a left wing publication in New York. His articles were mostly glorifying Democrat talking points by writing heartwarming stories of people being uplifted. However, it turned out that two thirds of his articles were entirely fictitious and most of the people he used as examples did not exist. It was quite a scandal but we were assured by various left-wing publications that this had never happened before and would never happen again. So I knew that Stephen Glass was a lying left-winger and therefore a good Democrat. Imagine my surprise to find that he’s also a mean-spirited meanie.

Stephen is now admitting additional past fabrications for other publications. He’s doing this to rehabilitate himself so that he can obtain a law license in California. He was previously turned down by a court that described him having “a vicious, mean spirit”. There you have it. Officially, a mean-spirited meanie.

While I am not surprised that a left-wing Democrat can be mean-spirited, I am astounded that the People’s Republic of California frowns on lawyers lying. Has anybody told this to Jerry Brown?

Are you going to "blame" Mrs. Clinton's victory on FEMINIST voting and MALE guilt?

Trump will prove to be the linchpin that destroyed the Republican party once and for all.

I assume the OP leans liberal/progressive/democrat---the party of "tolerance" So how is this statement different from "Mexicans are rapists", that the left vehemently attacked Trump for? What if I said the Polish are stupid, or the Irish are dirty, or blacks are felons but eat fried chicken and watermelon, or gay men are pedophiles? How would that go over in the liberal precincts. Those statements are just as repulsive to me, as a conservative, as they are to a liberal.
I tend to think that liberals are misguided, since they promote an agenda of proven failure, but do not call them names. So why is it OK for the left to attack Republicans or conservatives, or Christians for that matter? The term is hypocrisy---preaching tolerance but being intolerant of differing views, advocating strict gun control while being protected by armed guards, throwing billions of tax dollars at failing public schools while their own children attend prestigious private academies. Remember, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Those statements MUST NOT be repulsive to you as you obviously thought of them right away AND wrote them down on a public forum.

Why is it that some conservatives think if a person is a Liberal that she cannot be a Christian? Don't forget that Jesus would be considered a Liberal and the Pharisees would be considered Conservatives by today's standards (also in Biblical times).

The perception by some that anyone leaning left can't love our country or be a good Christian shows how narrow one's thought process is. It's not ignorance IQ wise but still ignorance.

That is a completely idiotic statement, not even worth the few words I'm wasting responding to it. You have NO IDEA of how I feel about racist and bigoted statements; your assumption is outrageously insulting, but about what I would expect from the left.

I didn't see where I posted THAT. I said the left has a tendency to attack Republicans, conservatives, and even Christians. Do you deny that is true, because I can come up with about a thousand examples. I DID NOT say all liberals cannot love their country or be a Christian. My opinion, as stated, that the far left pursues an agenda of proven failure, the consequences of which may not be beneficial for the country. Again, typical of the left---make up words that were never posted.

ignorance is bliss. The "native americans" immigrated from Asia about 13,000 years ago. There are no humans here that are "native". You'd think this was common knowledge...alas....the ignorant don't even know they are....

or "Chillary", to continue to spend our money foolishly, steal from the whitehouse again(if she gets elected)and sell our gov't secrets to the highest bidder. She is an ass......how anyone can defend her incompetence is a sign of quite a few people lowering America's standards of right and wrong in the extreme.

Dear Guest: forgive my candor but you sound like a kid who is mad at his/her father because they are disciplining you for something they know is wrong and not good for you.

Personal Best Regards:

Absolutely correct!
The conservatives we hear from on this site seem to think all liberals are heathen and the only God fearing folks are the right wingers.

Check out your Bibles (New Testaments, please) and you will definitely see the progressive views are held and taught by Jesus and the conservative views are those of Pharisees.
