Romney Xmas Tree

http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZWFjNGZlOWU0NTY5YzY2NzU5ZDE2Mjk3NTA4YWIxYTA

Well say what you will about Romney but at least he is proposing something to try to shortstop the pending Bush Depression.

If the Dems would impeached this bunch they would not have this mess to clean up.

I just hope it does not devolve into a full-blown depression.

(the title was meant to be just a figure of speech. No offense intended if Mormons do not believe in Xmas...)

It took you guys, what...4 years to talk us into a recession and now you're starting with the depression word. Could you be setting yourself up for a Republican victory in November.

I'm with Aaron on this one, Sherm. The Dems need to stop investing on disaster (Iraq War or internal economy).

HA, all the "verbal cash" the partisan Democrats have ....... is "earmarked" to be spent only on past disasters.

They have excellent "hindsight" at blaming all problems on Republicans, ....... but they don't have a damn bit of "foresight" except how to best spend taxpayer money that best benefits themselves.

GEEEZE, if the Democrats appropiate $1,000,000,000 to fund a "program for the poor folks", ......... $900,000,269 will be spent on Administration to oversee how the remaining $99,999,731 will be spent.

I remember those "summer jobs programs" here in Burnsville of several years ago that the WV Democrats funded. Six or 7 kids were hired @ minimum wages to sweep the streets, cut brush/grass, etc. for 4 or 5 hours per day. The Town appointed them a Foreman who was paid $9/hr, I think.

And there was a Supervisor, ...... appointed by someone, from somewhere, ....... and driving a State licensed car and probably making $30+-/hr ........ who showed up for a few minutes once or twice during the summer to "check on things".

It didn't take me very long to figure out "who" that Program really benefitted.

Well Mike I sure hope you are not implying I am secretly hoping for a stock crash.

Believe it or not Terri actually accused me on the old forum of secretly hoping for more American soldiers to be killed.

If you guys really believe that stuff you take your politics a lot more serious than I do.

Sherm,

No, I don't think you want failure, but the political capital is being gambled by your party on failure. The distinction I hope is clear.

I think the proof is in the number of threads about Iraq. On the old Gazette forum, 1 in 3 related to Iraq.

Here it's hardly mentioned. Democrats can no longer argue the surge isn't working and things are catastrophic. Suddenly the economy is now the number 1 issue and Iraq is barely mentioned. I think that in itself is telling when it comes to what democrats are vested in. HMMMM

Well just for the record the Iraq occupation is still important to me.

And the economy is also important to me.

Amd Civil Liberties are still important to me.

And the National Debt we are leaving my grandchildren.

Because you guys insist on occupying Iraq, at the cost of young American lives.

And passing the cost on to your own grandchildren.

And mine.

Keep in my Shermy not all of us pubbies want to continue occupying Iraq, or any other nation either.

If what you say is so, then explain to me how you can support with blind abandon the democratic party.

Oh, by the way Shermy, if I could work my will we'd be out of Iraq tomorrow, I would remove and replace the entire Supreme Court with maybe the exception of Alito and Thomas, and I would bring to an end all entitlement programs and foreign aid.

YOU guys could have stopped it, which is what YOU promised to do. YOU'VE sold out 4 times now.

shermangeneral wrote:And the economy is also important to me.

The economy will take care of itself if YOU guys will let it. It's a called a correction but YOU'RE so hell bent on buying votes YOU won't do what needs to be done.

shermangeneral wrote:Amd Civil Liberties are still important to me.

YOU guys are the one's that passed the last wiretap law.

shermangeneral wrote:And the National Debt we are leaving my grandchildren.

YOU guys have been in charge for over a year now. What is it YOU'VE gotten accomplished in reducing debt.

shermangeneral wrote:Because you guys insist on occupying Iraq, at the cost of young American lives.

YOU guys could have stopped it. YOU sold out for $2.00 bucks an hour.

shermangeneral wrote:And passing the cost on to your own grandchildren.

Me thinks YOU guys are just as responsible. In fact, I KNOW it. Because YOU guys can't even come to work, which was another of YOUR broken promises and YOUR lies. So when are YOU going to stop?

Truth hurts don't it aaron?


I gotta go.

And try to make enough to support a couple republican deadbeats another week, lol.

So they can sit here on the forum and bite the hand that feeds them.

So what truth is that? That in the past year that you've guys have been in office all you've managed to do is trade billions in funding for one mininum wage that is BELOW what Wal Mart and McDonalds currently pays? Other then that, you've accomplished absolutely nothing!!!

Is that the truth you're talking about?

Or is it that Democrats have NOTHING to run on and their only hope of gaining any power is in a defeatist policy!!! Would that be the truth?

Perhaps it's both!!!

It's also nice to know that when someone works 40+ years and takes the promises that FDR made and retires, you consider them deadbeats Sherm. Wasn't that what your socialist security was for!!!

On tonights 60 Minutes, Andy Rooney questioned whether we're going into a depression.

More defeatist agenda.

What's defeatist about thinking and/or talking about it?

We either are or we aren't.

Oh, I say there's plenty of defeatist in talking about it Zig. The media has been telling the American consumer for years that we're in a recession. Sooner or later, honest hard working Americans, listening to what the loon left is telling them, is going to stop spending and start saving which is exactly what will lead to a recession. It worked in 91 and you guys are hoping it will work again.

And if the race is really tight, you'll be having us in a depression by fall, just in time for November.

Unless of course things turn bad in Iraq and then suddenly that will be your #1 priority...again!!!

So people should not be frugal and thrifty and save- all the time- as a matter of general practice?

And not just when they're afraid "recession" might be right around the corner?

What's the point in working ourselves silly for as many almighty dollars as we can if all we're going to do with it is blow it on K-Mart junk that we'll soon throw away to make room for more junk?

And besides, excess spending leads to inflation.

Economists have a definition of a "recession". We are either in a depression, or we're not.

Anyway, if the economy is so damned fragile that people making rational economic decisions to spend wisely and save any time they can will wreck it- then it's in need of a grand overhaul anyway. Call that recession or call it regression, or call it what you will. But the notion that saving and not spending one's dollars other than on real needs, that this is a bad thing, is a wrong-headed notion- whether promoted by the "loon Left" or the "loon right".

Now boys, ...... ....... there is one hell of a lot more behind this "rebate, tax return, stimulus" package (or whatever you want to call it) that the President and the House is hurridely trying to get Passed.

I do not believe it has anything to do with "vote buying", ........ but moreso "appeasement of the masses", ........ to simmer them down ........ before "bigger problems" hit them right in the ole snotlocker.

Tis never a good time to "add insults to injury".

And that is why "crooked EVM's" ...... and "stealing elections" are not "hot topics" during this Election Cycle.

While this rant is fine and dandy Ziggy, it has nothing to do with your previous statement. You said talking about a recession won't hurt any and your just flat out wrong. When the lead story on EVERY news station is how bad the economy is, it will have a negative effect on consumer spending.

Just out of curiousity Sam, who's going to steal what election?

Well "DUH", I just thru telling you it was not a "hot topic".

Of course it's not a hot topic. I'm still curious.

And as I have said before here, consumers are spending too much money that they don't have on things they don't need. Just look at the consumer debt and family household savings data.

If talking about a recession will help some of 'em to put on the brakes, then bring it on.
