Politics

Harrisburg has a new female black women MAYOR replacing the 28 year term white male MAYOR. He was voted out of out of office and the local citizens don't think she is doing a good job. Six months. She was left with garbage garbage just like OBAMA. Miracles DO NOT HAPPEN OVER NIGHT. They have to clean up the crap before they can move forward. Here I go again. POP....Pissed off Pat :angry:

We are the minority. Hello everyone, Lets get real, Sorry I have hickups. Did that make you laugh. GOOD. I need to go to bed. PC I have to drive my daughter to work, that's on another thread, Good Night.

Alba Said: Some people just cant get over the fact that we have a black president.

I find it lame to inject racism in a non racist issue. The issue of the present administration has nothing to do with color...unless you are talking about the color of green (money) and red (debt).

It won't be long before whites are the minority in this country. It will be good when the whites get to claim discrimination over every issue. Right now, whites are not the majority in TX. We comprise only 40% of the population here.

Patty Cakes Said: Mike you should speak more often instead of so much. Didnt even read it all. Dont tell me I didnt address issues. I spoke quite specifically. BUSH came into office debt free HE DIDNT LEAVE THAT WAY.

You can NIT PICK all you want. It may take a decade for the true results. We all know it takes a second to get into debt & alot longer to get out of it.

Douger & others, tell me the last time you turned down a women playing with a cigar in lovely places. Have a good night GENTLEMEN, if thats what you want to call yourselves. PC

Bush, and the republicans paid the price (rightfully) for having so little regard for the public purse-strings. Unfortunately, Obama, Pelosi and Reed, got the wrong message. They foolishly decided that the 2008 was a open checkbook for an explosion of debt and a golden ticket for decades of their secret socialist desires.

I think you will see another huge tsunami of voter outrage in 2012. Personally, I have never been so afraid for our country and way of life as I am now. I remember the hard times my dad went through in the 50s. I've lived through the ups and downs of the last four decades but I always had hope. If the Dems somehow continue their destructive socialist policies, we will go the same way as the USSR.

We need serious leadership in this country and we certainly don't see any coming from the Obama administration.

What do you think he has done right?

Mike H Said: Amen Dougger222.

One of my favorite things I ever read is B students work for C students, and A students teach.

Tim, you only have 1/2 the formal college education I have. ;) LOL

You can get busy workin or keep busy bitchin. One pays real well, one doesnt.

Patty, since you showed no interest in actually addressing the facts or comments in my post, I wont offer any further comment, except that I was a huge critic of Bushs Patriot Act. Reading Decision Points was well worth the time, and I must say I finished with a greater deal of understanding regarding the burden of the Presidency. Plus, I give you just a few questions to think about.

If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?

If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder whos side he was on?

If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot?

If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one foreign company had an accident, would you have agreed?

If any other of our presidents had used _a forged document_ as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you support him?

If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it a proud moment for America?

If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent Austrian language, would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States , wouldnt you have had second thoughts about his capabilities?

If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk.

If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to Cinco de Cuatro in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, wouldnt you have winced in embarrassment?

If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded hes a hypocrite?

If any other of our presidents administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have ever approved.

If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?

Cant think of anything? Dont worry. Hes done all this in 24 months -- so you have that much time to come up with an answer.

Those are very thoughtful questions Mike. I really would love to hear a yes or no answer from any Obama supporter. There's a few cheesy questions in there but the vast majority are significant and should be answered.

Dougger , that is what I love about RCS, we have the freedom to bitch up a storm and shut it down. I truley respect all of you. Even you MikeH. I don't like you today but I'll love you tomorrow. Keep up on the siding, windows and interior work, you Butthead. I can't love you if I can't argue with you. Allabodies have a good night. PC

PC, no battle just state facts as they should be stated, the TRUTH!!!

Let's face it nobody may like the way this country has been going but there's really nothing we can do about it. We all may complain from time to time about it but let's face it, the USA is still the greatest country to live in. B)

And your right, there's a lot more than roofing. There's siding, windows, and interior work, J/K!!!

All of you including me can think what we want to think, certainly did not mean to start a battle. Just goes to show ya, there is lot more than roofing. That's what I like. See ya, catch ya bye. PC

Patty Cakes Said: Mike you should speak more often instead of so much. Didnt even read it all. Dont tell me I didnt address issues. I spoke quite specifically. BUSH came into office debt free HE DIDNT LEAVE THAT WAY.

You can NIT PICK all you want. It may take a decade for the true results. We all know it takes a second to get into debt & alot longer to get out of it.

Douger & others, tell me the last time you turned down a women playing with a cigar in lovely places. Have a good night GENTLEMEN, if thats what you want to call yourselves. PC

I'm a happily married man to a very smart and very attractive woman.

Question PC, are you talking about Mr. Bush's personal debt? Surely your not talking about the national debt. You stated that when Bush came into the office debt free and he didn't leave it that way???

OK,

HISTORY 101,

The lowest the national debt was in 1835 when it was just under $34,000. In the late fifties it was heading down then by the 60's it started to go up and has gone up every year since then.

See for yourself, http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/histdebt/histdebt.htm

Debt free, LOL, that's a good one!!!

You took the time to write these thought provoking questions, so I thought they deserved a response.

If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

Are you referring to Bush or Obama?

If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

Congress did.

If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head? If the state was Arizona, I would applaud his time management skills.

If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on?

Have you read and understood the law as written?

If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot?

Did you think Bush was an idiot when he made up words like misunderestimate?

If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

Maybe he wanted to avoid the embarrassment that Bush Jr oftentimes suffered when he spoke. "Fool me once..."

If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

False, the trip cost $408.

If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

Oh yeah, GM's problem were caused by Obama.

If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

Only if it was funny.

If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

I happen to know Gordon was very fond of and cherished this gift.

If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it a proud moment for America?

She has been Queen for like 50 years, she is very tough to shop for. We can't all get her Winchester Farms medley of smoked meats.

If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

Bush Sr, threw up on the Emperor of Japan, so your argument is invalid.

If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

Austrians speak some unknown guttural language but I brush it off as a minor slip.

If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States , wouldn't you have had second thoughts about his capabilities?

Does anybody really know how many states there are in the US?

If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk.

Not if they were the Special Olympics.

If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment?

Let he who speaks fluent Spanish be the first to casts stones.

If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

No, I would have concluded he was a Republican.

If any other of our presidents' administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

People were starting to forget 9/11, they needed to put the fear of God back in them.

If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

Mike Myers and Kanye West were in a press conference when Myers said, "Barack Obama hates white people." (I may have dreamt this).

If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have ever approved.

Only if they paid their taxes on time.

If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

Haven't we given up on Presidents obtaining constitutional authority?

.

Mike, Herman Cain would b e an amazing choice in 2012. A true conservative constitutionalist. I don't care if he's black, or purple for that matter.

Patty, we can't afford to wait 10 years to know Obama's legacy. That's a little like having colon cancer and waiting to see how it turns out. One doesn't need to observe a socialist for more than 24 months to know he's a socialist.

Also, that wonderful economy Clinton enjoyed, you may have forgotten that it was the result of Republicans' landslide victory and taking over the House and Senate in the '94 mid-term election. Clinton was just smart enough to move to the center after that so that he could get reelected in '96. He didn't do anything wornderful, he merely inheretied a Bush I economy that was heading in the right direction, and got out of the way while Republicans ran with it.

I guess I was making the comparison between Bush and Obama in regards to the constitution.

No, but I did say something about Bush and the Patriot Act in another post.....I don't see this thread as me defending Bush.

What did he say?

Mike H Said: If you like Obama, you should re-register as a communist. He is not a democrat, only a dem on paper, he is the far left side of the party and its propped by labor/socialist/communist. To say otherwise is to put your head in the sand.

If nothing else, the recent developments in Wisconsin and Indiana, should prove that there is difference between republican and democrats. Regardless of their position on the issues, one respects the rule of law and the democratic process, while one is only interested in getting their way any way they can get it. Obama has demonstrated the very same disrespect for the constitution and our political process through executive order, many many times.

Nuff said.

No not "Nuff" said.

Do you recall Bush's vulgar comments dismissing the Constitution?

.

dougger222 Said: Still that economics teacher thought a roofer was not a good way to go!!!

I do enjoy some of the looks when "I'm a roofer" is the answer...

Miscreant Said: Man it's getting deep up in here. Whatever hapened to the "Kettle"

It got Kooked

Man it's getting deep up in here. Whatever hapened to the "Kettle"
