Which is fine and dandy...but just suppose I am a voter 'on the fence', dissatisfied with the President, and I want to hear what the opposition party has to offer platform-wise...all I've heard non-stop, since Inauguration Day, is a bunch of (LOL...I'm wearing this phrase out, but it applies here) chest-beating, flag-waving, pseudo-patriotic badassedness, sound bite after sound bite about what the current administration is doing wrong and boundless accusations of terrorist-and-illegal alien sympathy, financial ruin, socialism and communism, the list goes on and on...

All that confounded hot air and smart-mouthing, and NOT ONE THING about (gasp!!) what they would ACTUALLY DO IF ELECTED...just more 'I hate Barry Hussein Obummer' and nothing else that you could sink your teeth into...you would think that if they're frothing at the mouth THAT MUCH about taking over, they'd actually have a viable platform to show people...but then, I think that would interfere too much with all the hot-air spewing, which is more fun than actually telling potential voters what you stand for...

I may have strayed a bit off-topic for a moment, but I felt that needed to be said
Very well said too bad your message flew right over the majority of {R} posters heads but you reached a few.It does not take a intellectual giant to point out all the problems and point the finger at the other side.Stay in the forum long enough and you will witness that some {R} posters that are below average in thinking skills can slam the {D}s .Would it be a shock if their 5th grade children could do the same.
I am like you,I want to see what you really stand for and what are your new ideas to turn this country around.One thing about {R} leaders and followers is they think they have the morale high ground.They say they are for smaller gvt,but the gvt grows when they are in control.They say they are against socialism{redistribution of wealth} and vote for subsidies,bail outs,and start a new prescription program.Do not forget they are defenders of the free market,yeah right.
That is why I think you do not hear the leaders saying what they are going to do,they do not have a leg to stand on.See they can get away with duping the ignorant with sound bites and calling the other side socialist,and it works like a charm.But then there are the few which I am a proud member that is looking for ideas and real policy solutions.That takes the time to go over their record and what they are saying to see if they are consistent.
There is a old saying that encourages me "I rather stand alone then run with the hyenas.

Meanwhile, the political power brokers are in bed with big business to place more restraints on the average american. The middle class will cease to exist by the end of the decade. By then the majority of americans will be nothing more than indentured servants.
It's been a long time in the making, but the current administration (with it's reckless 'stimulus' spending) put the final nail in the coffin of our children, grand kids and future generation.
They will be the new pyramid builders for the remainder of this century.
amerifree !!! ... On The Mark !

Yes ... 'The America People Are taking One Hell Of A Beating " !

Our absolutely "Pea Brained" Career Politicians most certainly appear to like things just as they are with no intention whatsoever of "Listening To The American People's Demands For Them To Stop The Madness"

We are as they say in boxing "One The Rope's & Getting The Crap Be Out Of Us" ! Our Political System seemingly has absolutely failed us !

Who was that evil communists leader back in the early 1960's who made the chilling statements that 'America Would Fall From Within" ??? Who was it now ?

May his statements be proven most emphatically incorrect !

And yet he may well have known what he was talking about afterall

The nations precarious position at this point appears to be extremely bleak !

The final effective answer of course lies ultimately within the hands of the American People ! ...... Be advised that failure is not an option !

May our vision for America reflect the courage, pride, honor, and patriotism of a united people whom gladly inhabit the greatest nation on earth !!!

Thanks / Old Sgt. Lamar

And many morons, ignorant ones, who also agree with them, they too, have no brains. My Family my friends, acquaintainces, are all on board with supporting Arizona, why the hek not, we have the same problem as that State does, except those in Arizona, actually give a damn about the illegal situation. Please get those in Power out here OUT, PELOSI, lets start with her.
