[QUOTE=Villages Kahuna;161853]...it's that we are very, very close to the maximum amount of debt that the U.S. can afford to issue to finance our government. Our national debt now closely approximates the entire Gross Domestic Product of the U.S.economy for an entire year. Our debt amounts to about 20% of the Gross Domestic Prouct of the entire world economy for a year. The number is scary its so large.

Not true by my source Kahuna!

All is not what it seems with numbers when you base an opinion with them!:sad::sad::sad:

I have to make this short....my problem with this election is that we could possibly elect a radical liberal President because we are unhappy with the last 8 years !!!!!

I, for one, do not want a socialist government and no matter what you say that is our direction especially with Sen Obama as President.

On the VEEP...I would not want eithr Sen Biden of Gov Palin in the WH...how is that ? I was being sarcastic with the McCain/Biden thingand NOT hypocritcal.

I read where Russia is going to build a defense system for Iran....establishing sites in South America and that scares me. Vultures are surrounding us AS THEY SAID THEY WOULD...defeat us from within.....and what I hear instead of defending ourselves we want to be "well thought of"..wonder how much that will cost us ?

Sorry for the rant...as I have said before I am not happy with either ticket.....it seems you are thrilled with the socialist movement and it is just that, no matter what you say...socialism NEVER has worked...our system of capitalism has worked and we are hell bent on destroying it from with in !

Did anyone else notice how nice the forums were going without the constant chelsa slams.

It is nice to just exchange views and not swipes :)

Most of the time, just as I can often tell stubborness for the sake of stubborness.

Helloooooo!
 

Yes, Union1. I can see all 3 of your thought provoking posts went swimmingly! :1rotfl:

OMG!! :1rotfl::1rotfl:

Chelsea brings light and thought to this forum...whether you agree with her or not...I agree the same goes for Bucco and Benj and many others on both sides! We all have different personalities and have the right to express our thoughts the way we want. If we all were nicey nicey...it would be very boring...

I certainly don't think anyone on here is out to hurt another...well there may have been one or two and they are quiet now....


Some of us have sarcastic senses of humor or are VERY EMOTIONAL about our beliefs! Atleast we have a belief system...something to be passionate about~that is what makes an exciting debate!

I say keep going Chels...Bucco...Cabo...Cologal....Kahuna...I LOVE IT!! I know there are many more of you that I haven't mentioned.....keep it going....stay true to who you are! I am glad I did!

I was almost scared off by this forum...I was offended and hurt and decided not to post here anymore...BUT changed my mind...because I have something to say and am allowed to say it. I so enjoy this forum....it makes me think! It makes me laugh! It makes me want to come back....and write some more!!
