Nahh they are as bad as the Koolaid drinkers that followed Jim Jones...

They will back any criminal war action 0bama dreams up as we have already seen in the middle east and Barrack the Terrible is "much more flexible" these days...

It only took about 40 years to get, to right now.

The current situation is about as bipartisan as it gets.

No, you pay attention.

Why would it get my gizzard (whatever the hell that means)?

I work in the Defense industry, and i've been calling for it to be chopped to pieces for years.

You assume that i agree with the White House on EVERYTHING?

Why is that? Because you agree with everything the Bush Administration said?

the nature of a market economy is by and large ignored by our government and its people.
you cant debt your way out of debt. they keep grinning and spouting off about keynes but do not adhere to his teachings.
the only ones talking sense are ron paul, dave ramsey and romney and you know what that will get you.

Funny, the GOP addressed that very thing, sent it to the Senate, and as usual it sits untouched by the Harry and the Dems. So by NOT voting to stop the slashing of military money, the Dems are really the cause of the slowdown.

And Hurricane Sandy. And global warming. And Bo the dog. You know, anyone but the president.

Come on, now.

Here's a refresher: Liberals have been calling for a slash in military budgets for 12 years now. According to the above, that would be you.

However, what the White House just admitted was that the economy took a tumble due to decreased defense spending.

That's what you want, right?

So how does that square with the fact that the U.S. economy is irrevocably tied to government spending in the defense sector? Indeed, the White House verified this.

Are liberals inadvertantly cheering for a economic downturn just to satisfy their misguided anti-defense posture?

No those liberals would rather the government spend money on more roads, water treatment plants, electric grids, schools, bridges, highways, trains, etc.... You know things that would actually benefit the average Americans instead of this large military-industrial complex. This indepedent here would also like govt to spend more on infrastructure instead of on our military.

Stop lying and twisting words around. But then again that is your MO on here....

I thought "The storm of the century" was gonna be a HUGE stimulus... Now it's to blame

How come the Dems dont care about all the ridiculous foreign aid like arming all these nut jobs in the middle east and trying to disarm Americans at the same time???

Then were supposed to pay a global carbon tax too???

And you wonder why there's such fierce opposition to this criminal gangster government

Well where are all the alleged "liberals" when it comes to opposing arming up Egypt???

How will a UN carbon tax that sends $$$ offshore help accomplish these things???

Your all insane....
