As for the 700k job losses. This is the biggest bunch of horse manure ever placed into a political claim. Do you think that the status quo was that if Obama had not acted, we would still be losing 700k jobs per month? That is nonsense of stilts. Everything this regime has done has been to hurt the economy. In fact it would be difficult to draw up a blue print for how to wreck the economy that was better than what has taken place under the current administration.

I listen to Rush frequently. Rush is not vitriolic. He speaks the truth. He wanted Obama to fail because his policies are so wrong headed. I want Obama to fail so that he gets shown the door in 2012. That's politics it's not personal. You don't know anything about Rush or Dennis Prager. I can tell from what you write that you know nothing what so ever about them and that you have never listened to them.

HCR is a disastrous policy. What you fail to understand is that we hate your ideas, not your personnae, but the same cannot be said about your side. Your side hates our people and believes them to be evil racist homophobes. That is the difference between our two sides.

The budget commission is nothing but a way to kick the political football to some people who were not elected. It is the height of irresponsibility. It is not governing, it is ducking the hard choices necessary for governing. The congress is going to fail to pass a budget this year because they don't want anyone to know how disastrous the budget deficit actually is. Our country is being driven into a fiscal ditch. "I speak from the center". Sure, the center of foul territory from the left field foul line.

no, no changing of the subject. if you want to identify vitriol, look to Rush. he's too powerful to be refuted (ooh, not refudiated) by anyone in the right wing. when a right-wing politician is asked about his comments, they won't refute, instead, you'll get something along the lines of "that's Rush…" you want to identify the origins of vitriol in our political debate? much of it is with Mr. Prager and Rush, with their oversimplification of the opposition in order to paint with thick brush-strokes and demonize the opposition.

it has become more about "our side" winning than it has about the betterment of this country. that's the problem on both sides. but now, with dems in control, Rush wants the president to fail, and the republicans were determined to make HCR Obama's waterloo. NOT, fix the bill so it can help the most people. NOT, include provisions that will address systemic problems that everyone agrees on.
NO, instead, it will be Obama's waterloo, the end of his credibility, so to speak.

and finally, my "next statement" was actually, what are the republicans going to do differently than Bush II? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HLlSfgJQh4&fe...

hmm… let's see what the budget commission comes back with… the same budget committee the repubs refused to join with. that is hypocrisy.

I speak from the center, but you are so far right that i look like the reddest commie you've ever seen.
