75% of Americans Disapprove of Democrats’ Congress

Somehow, the Republicans have fillibustered every attempt at progress in the Senate, setting a record for fillibusters with their 100% loyalty to George W. Bush.

And this is all… The Democrats’ Fault.

Republicans have been the most partisian, mean spirited group in DC since Newt Gingrich and his “Burn the House Down” campaign of 1992.

But, of course, not one single Conservative can ever hold even one Republican accountable for anything they have ever done. Not pandering to James Dobson by intervening in the personal famliy decision regarding what to do with a vegetative spouse, or justifying borrow-and-spend policies that are resulitng in the debasement of America’s financial position in the world.

Conservatives must even give a free pass to the smears spread against Max Clelland, since that ensured the election of a Republican. There is not one single Conservative, anywhere, any time, who will say that the Republican smears against that triple-amputee Vietnam veteran was anything other than perfectly in line with Republican ideals.

Please give up on this “Republcans are God’s annointed Party” campaign that Pat Robertson/James Dobson have had you on for the past three decades.

It demeans the public discourse and invalidates the few valid points you do make.

But it’s not the Democrats in Congress that that most people disaprove of.

Even though I am an Obama supporter, I strongly believe the last thing this country needs is for either party to get a super majority. I’m starting to get worried about the pendalum swinging to far here…

Why in the world would you want to be an Obama supporter?

What is he offering or planning which appeals to you?

What is he offering or planning which appeals to you?

Middle class tax cut.

Fit Fit,

So the Bush tax cut on the middle class was not enough? $1000 more is all you need? We all got a tax cut, including this middle class conservative. This tired lie of “tax cut for the rich” must have you. Since Obama has never voted to reduce taxes, why would he change now?

Re: “I see the DNC as being little different once in power. Kids in an candy store without supervision they will be.”

Conservatives always use the “Democrats would be worse” excuse to defend 100% loyalty Republicans. (I did not notice any Conservatives declaring how “Republicans blew it” BEFORE they lost in 2006: Only as an alibi AFTER the elections. Conservatives still voted 100% Republican in 2006, as they have every year before that, and will in 2008, without exception.

The fact is that the Republicans pushed through, with massive White House backing, the largest increase in entitlements since the Great Society. And put the entire thing onthe credit card since they did not even pretend to fund it. And Conservatives somehow demand that we accept that as “superior” to anything they declare that democrats “would have done”.

It’s “let’s pretend” vs. “Actual Repuiblican results”.

Re: “In which case, Fit fit, why are you advocating a DNC sweep of all branches of power… or the equivalent of a supermajority in the worst possible way?”

There is not one single Conservative here who would not be 100% thrilled to see a Congress that was 100% Republican, with a Republican President and 100% Republican Supreme Court. If that were, somehow the case, Every single Conservative here would STILL vote to re-elect the sitting Republican President/Congressional rep, rather than vote for a Demoratic challenger, out of pur Party Loyalty.

Personally, when I was actually living within the city limits of Philadelphia, I voted 100% Republican for local, state and Congressional offices, just to vote against the incumbant Democrats, for balance. Can any “Conservatives” here claim that they would do the same?

Re: “And on that middle class tax cut you want. Are you counting before or after they let the Bush tax cuts sunset? In ”

The sunset provision was writteninto the law with full Republican and White House backing. All in order to make the numbers as to the “cost” in lost revenue work out. It is Republicans and George W. Bush who have gone back on their words and called for the laws that they themselves backed and voted for/signed to be changed (unless you assume they were lying to America when they backed the provisions in the beginning. Are you?). Democrats are just saying the law should proceed as Republicans and George W. Bush wanted it to be.

Re: “But you’ll be happy when he gives you a tax cut, then piles on for these other programs…”

And Republicans will.. Pile on the programs and just tack it onto the credit card, which Conservatives much prefer to the Democrats. “It’s ok to spend as much as you want, just as long as you pass the debt onto the kids. It’s OK to say yo don’t like it, just don’t do anything about it.”

i consider myself to be conservative, however i believe everyone should have access to abortions, they shouldn’t be used constantly as birth control. there should be parent notification. i think we should legalize pot, who cares if someone smokes and goes and eats tacos, legalize most drugs, make them weaker and tax the shit out of them, make them easy to get but very expensive. i detest welfare, get off your ass and get a job. don’t care for guns, but if i wnat a gun i want to have a gun. i hate when people paint conservatives with such a wide brush, do they know how i vote? nope they don’t. i freaked out when i realized that i was so conservative, i never thought i would be, i thought i was liberal, nope, not. i think we need to have a balanced government, i think special interests have no business in politics, but that will never happen. i think that if onama is elected he will run wild and there will be another backlash and most of the dems will be voted out.

Re: ” i think that if onama is elected he will run wild and there will be another backlash and most of the dems will be voted out.”

You mean like signing every single spending bill, regardless of budget consequences, that is sent to him as long as it comes from a Congress controlled by his own party?

Or backing and boasting about signing the largest domestic spending increase since the Great Society?

(Oops! Sorry! I was referring to President George W. Bush, and you were talking about “President Obama”, weren’t you?)
