First, I don't want Reid and Piglosi to shut up because every time they open their pieholes, they let more and more people see how stupid and dangerous they are. Second, I can't stand NObama's politics, and third, the left is going to lose A LOT of Congressional power in 2010. You can take that last one to the bank!<BR/><BR/>Angie Lee, there is absolutely supposed to be a balance of power, but the scales are in dire need of recalibration. You and I see eye to eye on the blame game. There certainly IS plenty to go around. That is why I became an "undeclared" voter a year or so ago. That is also why I am strongly considering starting "The Average American Party", hence the name of my blog. The extreme left and extreme right have hijacked the Dems and Reps respectively and there is no party left representing us "Average Americans!" If you get the time, check out my first few blogs from last year and let me know what you think.Average Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211406136371011324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590191745099543845.post-54291919872971015192009-02-19T16:03:00.000-05:002009-02-19T16:03:00.000-05:00In no way do I think Bush and the R's are blameles...In no way do I think Bush and the R's are blameless; there are EQUAL amounts of blame regardless of party - but anyone who insists on laying it all at the Republicans' feet is, well, "misinformed, blind to the transgressions of your own party, or disingenuous."<BR/><BR/>As for Reid and Pelosi, aside from how greatly I despise abuse of power by our "leaders," is there some logical reason why they need to shut up and do as Obama tells them?

I'm an admitted partisan. I understand how all of you want to put Bush and the Republican Party in as good alight as possible. But folks, it ain't working. <BR/> Of course I have my problems with Reid and Pelosi. If the Democrats don't snatch some more seats from the evil Republicans in 2010 the blame will lay at their feet. <BR/> The stimulus is a gigantic monster. And don't forget that Republicans filled it with their pork projects also. They just didn't have the courage to vote for it after they shared in adding to it. The senator across the river from me, Kit Bond, is a good example. Share your outrage people. To just blame Obama and the Democrats for so much that is ridiculous in this bill is either showing you to be misinformed, blind to the transgressions of your own party, or disingenuous.Joe "Truth 101" Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875151516978133598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590191745099543845.post-72583602382870100072009-02-18T21:22:00.000-05:002009-02-18T21:22:00.000-05:00Ray, as I told truth, I spread the blame for PORKU...Ray, as I told truth, I spread the blame for PORKULUS between the messiah, Wicked Bitch of the West, Harry, and the whole Congressional Democrat bunch, and of course we can't forget our 3 traitors.

You also know that most of the worst spending DID come in the last 2 years when the D's controlled the purse strings. There is enough blame to go around, but 2 wrongs DO NOT make a right and spending our way out of a recession is a BAD idea. I agree that some of the money will actually stimulate the economy, but most is PORK! It may surprise you to know that I only attribute the minor plate full of blame to NObama. The bulk goes to the Wicked Bitch of the West and her cronie in the Senate, Harry Reid. NObama does however get the lion's share of the blame for a scared populace and Wall Street. If there is a "catastrophe", it is him, not so much the economy. He has no clue that what he says actually does sway public opinion. He thought that trick was only for vote getting.<BR/><BR/>Angie Lee, thanks for the help. You have to go easy on truth, he has partaken of to much koolaid, BUT, I hold out hope for him. He is not the last man on the left. I think we can lure him closer to the middle if we are nice.Average Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211406136371011324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590191745099543845.post-22425600310453132402009-02-18T19:43:00.000-05:002009-02-18T19:43:00.000-05:00thanks for the vis to WHT..p.s.-swap melted chocol...thanks for the vis to WHT..p.s.-swap melted chocolate anytime .(hugs!).ha:)WomanHonorThyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211851365273181636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590191745099543845.post-52361857380548556822009-02-18T19:42:00.000-05:002009-02-18T19:42:00.000-05:00That inaccurate number you quote "Truth" is anothe...That inaccurate number you quote "Truth" is another liberal talkin point, however we'll just ignore it as such since lie and liberal is an oxymoron<BR/><BR>Our deficit is more like a bill for services rendered still unpaid for the freedom of 50 million ungrateful Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq for the most part, along with a little 911 retribution around the Muslim world for good measure.<BR/><BR>Bush's economy's were all in line with a traditional small % of <A HREF="http://seekingalpha.com/article/118633-what-does-annual-real-gdp-growth-teach-us" REL="nofollow">GDP spending for 50 years </A>spiking in WWII, then slowly rising through Slick's years (although clever accounting showed surpluses) with that meteoric spike in 9/08 caused of coarse by the<A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs&eurl=http://chicagoray.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow"> Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Maxine Watters clan </A>. <BR/><BR/>With their forcing banks to take loans to the deadbeats of the country, who we're now having to beat the money out of, and so Pelosi and Obama just wrote em all a blank check from your kids bank accounts so cleverly and incredulously blamed on Bush....<BR/><BR>Unlike Obama's first economy consisting of <A HREF="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123310466514522309.html?mod=todays_us_opinion" REL="nofollow">welfare payoffs and bribes</A> to all the lowlifes, slugs and deadbeats, topped with the liberal organizations of people who voted for him and nothing more, 800 bil plus interest....there's his legacy<BR/><BR>Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10430262996916238225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590191745099543845.post-85980342301478007582009-02-18T19:28:00.000-05:002009-02-18T19:28:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10430262996916238225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590191745099543845.post-43448473196468865972009-02-18T19:21:00.000-05:002009-02-18T19:21:00.000-05:00I guess you just don't have a clue, huh, "truth"?C...I guess you just don't have a clue, huh, "truth"?<BR/><BR/>Considering the fact that the debt SOARED to over 10 trillion thanks to the DEMOCRATIC-CONTROLLED CONGRESS in 2008.<BR/><BR/>It's just easier to blame Bush and the Republicans, though, than to lie the responsibility at the feet of the Dummycraps who put us there.Angie Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342713829455027103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590191745099543845.post-65342517245648814902009-02-18T18:55:00.000-05:002009-02-18T18:55:00.000-05:00Where were all you concerned fiscally concerned Am...Where were all you concerned fiscally concerned Americans at when Bush and his Republican Congress ran the deficit over ten trillion?
