Subject: RE: Excellant example.



The lack of self awareness by Libs is simply amazing.

Like Obama said, it prevents opposing views from working together.

Yes, the blockage to bipartisan action is that Obama's many attempts at reconcilation have been rebuffed?

Suppose I could say someone should've stepped in to "save" our country with more financial regulation before the mortgage crisis.

 Please finish this sentence. 

Tighter regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac were proposed by ______________ and blocked by ______________ who were ___________.

Or before we tripped off to Iraq.

Here, let's try another one.  

Iraq had thumbed there nose at sanctions and inspectors for __ years before Operation Iraqi Freedom commenced.

We are in recovery. Some saw it already last summer.

Yes, that's why unemployment has increased by a percentage point since last summer.  It's the recovery stupid.  I seem to remember stories and much knashing of teeth about Bush's "Jobless Recovery" when unemployment was less than 5%.  Now?  Not so much.  Yeah, I know, it's Bush's fault.

It's generally agreed upon by both liberal and conservative economists that the stimulus is to some degree responsible.

And, what's generally agreed upon now, is that continued floating of the govt via credit, (Did you SEE the deficit BUILT INTO THE BUDGET for next year?) is going to sop up an awful lot of credit that now won't be available for the private sector.

What level of debt can this country not go beyond? Past which this country will "end"?

 There's pretty good economic evidence that around 90% of Debt/GDP is a pretty important threshold.  Let's do a little math.  Congress just raised the celing to 14.3 Trillion, in about a 14 Trillion dollar economy. In other words, we're there.

Not working together is what will "end" this country. We can work through anything and come out smelling like a rose. History repeatedly shows that. Let's allow history to repeat itself in this instance. The only way we can "save" this country is by working together, not by using scare rhetoric and putting up walls.

 

See, here's what I read out of that statement, remembering full well Nancy Peloci's entreaties about the "running over the minority by the majority."  All that is is foot stomping whining and complaining that the mean old Republicans/Conservatives won't go along with the Democrats latest Spending/Social engineering agenda.  What's dangerous for the country is NOT opposing this stuff.  In this instance, gridlock is a good thing.  The Democrats, if I recall correctly, weren't exactly pulling together for the good of the country in regards to the war in Iraq.  A united front there could have created an atmosphere that was HUGELY different in that theatre.  It should have been obvious from the start to the terrorist that we couldn't win, then you get Dick Durbin and Harry Reid and????  And NOW, we still have the Democrats rowing on one side of the boat, the "socialist" side, while the Republicans are holding oars on the other side trying to stop the boat from going over the falls.  Should the Republicans just row along, I mean, we'll get over the falls much faster that way.
