Well we could tax us all to death and watch the economy further decline. Or we can control spending and wait for the next economic upturn .The additional revenues would eventually balance the budget.

Obama wants to both tax us to death and increase spending . That is not a recipe to fiscal responsibility.

Being "large grassroots" has nothing to do with what's good, right or true.

Having a populace that agrees with you will get you to the white house and reinforces that your plans are indeed valued. But tell me, what do you think is the measuring stick for what's good, right or true?

Greek columns and a faux Oval Office .yeah that's the ticket !

Cost of infomercial $3million

Cost of media coverage of Obama: Priceless

I don't have a measuring stick.

The populace of Germany agreed to allow Hitler to be their dictator... so did that make it right?

No, I'm not calling Obama Hitlerish...

It is becoming increasingly clear that at least where financing is concerned... it is a global grass-roots movement.

Well done Rick!

Admitedly, I'm not happy with Reps either. Our government is way too big as it is - and too often tells us what is right for us.

...I'm not ready for FDR all over again :(

You are right on. I can't stand the Bush administration. This country is screwed up almost beyond recognition. Patriot Act=government power. We need to take it back. Osama Obama is not the answer. Is it me or does it seem that this whole election thing seems to be a farce anyway. Seems to me that the media has primed us for an Obama admin.

Thank you for the kind words.

Need, really: I know you are a wise and smart person and one who cares about people... but not living here and experiencing how the BSPolitics effects Joe Six Pack (me and, I presume, you), I fear you are missing much.

In short, I see Obama as the new FDR... and I bet that Canadians learn that FDR was one of the great Presidents.

Call me a fanatic, but history books treat FDR far too well.

Sorry I don't agree. Now days it's fairly easy to get popular. Just have to control the media. Once you have the media on your side you can sway the people anyway you choose. American people are mostly sheep imo. They hear the same thing over and over again and start to believe it. That's because if they had their own opinion it would mean that they would have to think. American people don't want to think. They want to be told what to think. They want to continue to live their lives, spend their money to keep up with their neighbors and let someone else worry about the problems. Look at our unions for proof. Declining memberships because we don't want to personally sacrifice. This is just my opinion and personal observation.

I'm sorry Cap, I will recant that. I have taken to calling him that for laughs around here but prob shouldn't have brought it over here.

But it does give us insight into you.

I see nothing wrong with it . Frankly the only reason I quit using my nicknames for him was that it was getting boring.

Please read up on socialism and what that really means for us in this country. For decades, socialism has been a major part of the way our country works, N.B.: our efforts to create an egalitarian society.

Oh yes Carol. Socialism is wonderful. Even Hitler thought so back in his day. 'Let's knock those rich Jews down and take their stuff. We deserve it as more than they do' So what if they were the ones who worked for it.

How could anyone interested in this election NOT have read up on Socialism? Some are still around that remember living it... (no, not me)

You know you've run out of lucid arguments when you compare someone to Hitler. :)

NK. How can you be so valuable to your employers when all you do is stay on this site giving snippy comments all day long?

- I work with web sites all day
- I have several browsers open
- I only write quick snippets as you mentioned
- sometimes there a delay while some stuff I do updates at the other end, that's usually when I post
- I am incredibly efficient

Any other questions dear?
