Big Government : President Obama Should Fulfill His Promise to Eliminate Needless Programs

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 17:56:30 +0000

He recently eliminated the "Iraq War" program, so give him credit for that. I, for one, am waiting on his bipartisan commission's report, which is due shortly after this Fall's election. There will likely be calls to eliminate some programs there.

Big Government : Report: How 'Recovery Summer' Became 'Recovery Bummer'

The Republicans caused the economic collapse. Never forget that

Big Government : College Students 'Breaking Up' with Obama and Democrats

Wed, 22 Sep 2010 18:03:16 +0000

"At a time when the Democrats have already added $4.71 trillion dollars to ‘stimulate the economy’..." Citation, please? This just sounds like a made up number.

Big Government : White House Koch Attack

Wed, 22 Sep 2010 14:11:30 +0000

Rep. Nunes -- At its core, the charge is that Koch Industries, a very large corporation and a for-profit business, pays no corporate income tax. Why are you, as a Congressman, not concerned that this company is not paying its fair share; which causes the rest of us taxpayers to pay more to make up the difference?

Big Government : 'I'm Exhausted': Disappointed Supporters Question Obama

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:22:27 +0000

When Bush held town hall meetings, everyone was carefully prescreened so that no one said anything negative. But that's not what a town hall meeting is all about - I like Obama's approach better.

Big Government : Constitutional Government Under Assault with New Consumer Czar

It is not my quote, it is a quote from the article on which I am commenting.

Big Government : Constitutional Government Under Assault with New Consumer Czar

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 16:08:13 +0000

Bush appointed a lot of people this way, such as John Bolton. Is it only a problem when a Democrat does it? I would prefer that all nominees go through an appointment process. I would also prefer that there were not filibusters on just about everything. I would also prefer that the credit card industry weren't so powerful in Washington, and in the conservative media.

Big Government : Constitutional Government Under Assault with New Consumer Czar

You are concerned that she said in 2005 “…big corporate interests, led by the consumer finance industry, are devouring families and spitting out the bones.”??? This was three years before the big corporate interests, led by the consumer finance industry, caused a global financial meltdown. That sounds like a very insightful quote, when others were ignoring the problem.

Big Government : Harvey Mansfield Grades the American University System

Rather than move, I did my patriotic duty and helped get the Republicans out of power. And the country is better for it.

Big Government : Harvey Mansfield Grades the American University System

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 14:22:57 +0000

In 2008, the Republicans had brought the nation's economy to the brink of collapse; and Bush's claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq had proven false. Why would any intelligent person have given money to the Republicans in that circumstance? They didn't fall for the lies the government was pushing. The fact that most campaign contributions of intelligent people like the faculty at these institutions went against the Republicans is not surprising at all.

Big Government : The Misunderstood Tea Party Movement

Why would people think that someone who dabbles in witchcraft is unhinged, paranoid, subversive or ignorant?

Did he take pictures of a house or a child? One sounds sinister; one is a non-story. Your article implies the latter, but only has evidence of the former.

Big Government : O'Donnell Wins in Delaware, Is The Senate Lost For Republicans? No, No, No, and NO!

Nice picture. Ad doesn't mention the GOP or the Tea Party. She's already ditching you guys to try to get elected!

Big Government : O'Donnell Wins in Delaware, Is The Senate Lost For Republicans? No, No, No, and NO!

How can we get O'Donnell as the Republican nominee for President! how better to assure Obama's reelection than a Tea Party opponent? Where can I donate?

Big Government : Regime Uncertainty: Behind the Reports of Economic Doom

Wed, 15 Sep 2010 15:53:33 +0000

Don't go by memory -- if you read this site, you will forget what really happened. Dow was at 8279.63. Your recollection that Dow was around 10000 when Obama took office is what Colbert refers to as "truthiness." not actually true, but it seems like it should be after reading sites like this.

On the day Obama took office, January 20, 2009, the Dow stood at 8279.63. Source: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_was_dow_jones_aver... So it is up more than 2000 points as we stand right now. That is not an opinion. That is an undeniable fact.

The Dow has gone up several thousand points since Obama took office. So this sounds like "regime certainty."

Big Government : Take the Constitution Seriously—Celebrate Constitution Day

We could have used a good Constitutional debate when Bush was rounding up random Muslims in this country and torturing them.
