Hilarious!

Not one moment of pause for the horrifying looting of the taxpayer's coffers to benefit the likes of Halliburton, but microscopic scrutiny of issues that wouldn't effect the bottom line hardly at all. Gee, did you forget to mention those dastardly welfare mothers or something?

Any kind of scam mounted by an individual would amount to ALMOST NOTHING! But yeah, let's worry about the minutia instead of the things that are truly crippling us financially.

Either you can't read or don't wish to.

I said I believe in Welfare for those people that are unable to care for themselves.  I'm against those people who do NOT want to work and want taxpayers to pay for them to be lazy.

You get enough people abusing a National Healthcare system (like they have with welfare, farm subsidies, social security, etc.) and it becomes a big problem.

Both sides are feeding tons of contracts and support to their corporate and union sponsers in order to get their vote and take their money.  That's a big problem that neither side wants to fix.  The Dems want to make sure the Repubs donors are constricted, but not the donors to the Dems and the Repubs want the exact opposite.  They don't want to fix the problem, they just want to make it advantageous to only their side.

I've already heard both sides at work this morning.  ("Oh, the Dems are going to ruin the country and kill us all" and "The Dems are going to fix everything for us")  I just had to shake my head and laugh at both of them.

Hello toservez,

While I agree with the comments about getting on with business and avoiding acrimony and recriminations, I am not sure I agree with some of this post.

The problem within the two parties is more complex than simple partisan bickering.  Over the past few decades, one bloc of the Republican party, largely composed of pentacostal, charismatic millenialists, have become the largest single voting bloc in the Republican Party making up 40% of their population.  In my more myopic and jaundiced moments, I wonder if the Republicans are doing what they are doing as an attempt to bring us all to Rapture and the End Of Times as soon as they possibly can.  Global warming?  Sure.  Noah will drive up in his boat after the planet floods.  Nuclear Armageddon?  Jesus will come back and save us.

This is why Monkeyboy, during his reign of error, would do anything he could to avoid angering that voting public.

The problem I have had with the Democrats for most of my adult life is they seem to have lost the ability to stand up and be counted for having definite opinions about freedom of choice, end the war, affirmative action, etc.  To me, they seem like a party comprised of wankers too frightened to stand up and say exactly what they think.  Sen. Leiberman is a perfect example of a modern Democrat.  He talks and talks and talks and talks and suddenly you wake up from the blather induced coma and wonder how he got your bra undone. 

So the Democrats watch their power base erode, and see all these disenchanted moderate Republicans lose faith in their own party.  So the Democrats shift to the right to try to bring them in.

You make the comment that we should put aside bickering.  I disagree completely.  The Republicans did everything they possibly could to bring down Clinton and his ushering in the largest economic expansion in the history of the United States.  I think it would be foolish for a Democrating Congress to allow Monkeyboy to continue his attempts to oversee the largest debt-orgy and financial disaster in the history of the United States.  I dont think it would be a mistake at all to impeach that clown, drive him out of office if possible, and bring him up on criminal charges for violating the oath of office he swore to uphold.

Just me, etc.

Sinergy

I think maybe I was not clear in my comments. I actually agree with everything you say in principal, maybe not the tone, but I do agree with you except for the impeachment and if I thought if it was possible I would be for that as well. But that takes the Senate in agreement which would never happen and all it would do now is result in bogging down the government and rehashing the same old stuff.

My big point was that the Dems should not go back retro on Bush. I do not think the public on the whole want to rehash why we went to war under false pretenses. Most people get it and it does nothing for us now.

I agree that the Dems have had no balls for a long time and it was self inflicted. I just think the public has responded in away that this was not about we want everything traditional Democrat causes pushed through but we want the rubber stamp to stop and the middle, which most of the country are, to be heard again.

What maybe I failed to make clear was that Bush will abuse his power illegally again. Probably within hours let alone months. He did this with a Republican Congress so why would he not do this with a Democratic one? The mans does not care and is so far gone from reality this election could not sober him up at all. My point is when this happens, then the Dems need to fry him for it. It is about appearence. If the Dems fry him going foward it looks like they are doing their jobs and moving forward a sense of purpose and direction. To go back on things would just make them look petty and child like in my mind.

Okay, so I oppose a few positions you hold dear; so you choose to argue about another topic (where it is a problem) that doesn't involve the original discussion.

Can you really win an argument on anything if you change the topic to something unrelated? (not that I'm downplaying that corruption in government is a problem, but it wasn't the topic I was originally discussing with popeye).

Why are you attacking Gates, Trump, etc.  They give as much money to dems as they do repubs - because both parties have their hands out and don't care who they sleep with in order to get paid.  (hmmmmm, there's a term for people like that)

You are so busy trying to vilify Repubs that you fail to see that the Dems aren't any better in so many related categories.

Someone should start a thread on Leo Strauss, it would be highly informative for many people who do not realize where the neocons get their "beliefs" from


Heh.... Meatcleaver, Chaingang and I have written about this on numerous occasions - Type ''Neo-feudalism'' ''Leo Strauss'' or ''Straussian'' into the search function and see what it spits out.

NorthernGent has properly identified the economic philosophy followed and preached by the neo-conservatives, but what scares me tremendously more, is their social philosophy that most haven't bothered to educate themselves on.

Two great books that both identify and differentiate the neo-conservative philosophy from that of your Goldwater/Buchanan arch types are :   

Rise of the Vulcans by James Mann

George Bush- The Unauthorized Biography - By Webster Tarpley - The on-line version is free.

Read both of these books and you will come out with one hell of an education on neo-conservative philosophy.

The biggest problem I see with the Republican party, is that it's been infiltrated by this completely cancerous neo-conservative philosophy and the party members/constituency {The regular people} don't understand it or know what to do about it

Let me be clearer then - if a person does not need government subsidies (welfare, social security, tax, etc.) whether rich or poor, no matter their race, color, creed, gender, religion, etc. - then they shouldn't get them.

Those programs are for people that need the money, not just want the money.  It's a waste of our tax money and it isn't fair that the money is not going to the people that really needs it.

There's corruption everywhere and there isn't enough room to point it all out.
