Are you happy with that change ....

[Nicolos_Darvas]

.... of leadership you voted into Congress in 2006 ?????


Part 1: In just one year.

Remember the election in 2006? Thought you might like to read the following:

A little over one year ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;

2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:

1) Consumer confidence plummet;

2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;

3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);

4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);

5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;

6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

Remember, it's Congress that makes law not the President.

He has to work with what's handed to him.

Quote of the Day ........"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it." -- Barack Obama

Part 2:

Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.

www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html

Taxes under Clinton Taxes under Bush 2008

Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 30K - tax $4,500

Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 50K - tax $12,500

Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Single making 75K - tax $18,750

Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 60K- tax $9,000

Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750

Married making 125K - tax $38,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250

Both democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates

It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen. This is like the movie, The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened.

PART 3:(Boy, am I confused. I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us.) You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much? Read this:

If, on the other hand, it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you forward it to every legal resident in the country including every representative in Washington , D.C. - five times a week for as long as it takes to restore some semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof.

But the real question for you to answer, before you start hammering JUST the D's, is this: Can you name the legislation that Congress passed and the President SIGNED into law that brought about the 6 changes you listed?

You are correct in that the President doesn't MAKE the law, but as it stands right now, there can't be a law WITHOUT the President making it happen with his signature.

PRNewsWire News Releases

New Report Shows How Conservative Minority Rules by Filibuster, Preventing Up or Down Vote on a Record Number of Bills

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Republican Senate minority today filibustered an omnibus budget bill, setting a modern-day record for blocking the most legislation during a congressional session. A new report released today by the Campaign for America's Future details the 62 times conservatives have used the filibuster to block legislation (or force modification of bills) in the first session of the 110th Congress. In just the first year of this two-year Congress, their use of the filibuster in the Senate topped the previous record, reached during the entire 107th Congress.

The new report outlines every bill filibustered, vetoed or threatened to be vetoed by President Bush. Conservatives filibustered bills to end the occupation of Iraq, provide soldiers in Iraq rest time equal to their deployments, support renewable energy and grant residents of the District of Columbia representation in Congress. Today's record-breaker involved a $516 billion budget package passed by the House to fund the federal government in 2008. The conservative minority demanded $20 billion additional funding for the war and opposed House language to bring troops home, and threatened a filibuster to prevent the bill from getting an up or down vote.

"In just one session, a minority in Congress has prevented a mind-blowing 62 pieces of legislation from going to the floor for an up or down vote," said Campaign for America's Future co-director Roger Hickey. "Our report shows how over and over again, the uncompromising minority has thwarted the will of majorities in Congress and of the American people, holding the Senate floor hostage to a radical right-wing agenda."

Sixty votes are needed to invoke cloture and end a filibuster. The 62nd cloture vote of the session is more than any single session of Congress since at least 1973, the earliest year cloture votes are available online from the Senate. Republicans are on pace to force 134 cloture votes to cut off a filibuster, according to the Campaign for America's Future analysis, more than double the historical average of the last 35 years.

Even pieces of legislation that have made it past the Senate filibuster blockade have been obstructed by President Bush. Last week the President vetoed for the second time a popular bill that would expand health coverage for 10 million American children. According to the Campaign for America's Future report, Bush has threatened to veto 84 bills and has vetoed six as of December 17. In contrast, during the period when the Republicans were in the congressional majority, Bush went the longest time without vetoing a bill since President Arthur Garfield.

Eric Lotke, Campaign for America's Future research director and lead author of the new report, calls the obstruction a "deliberate strategy." He observes that the congressional Republicans block legislation, then blame the Democrats for getting nothing done. "It's like mugging the postman and then complaining that the mail isn't delivered on time."

The story of this historic level of obstruction has recently been covered by The New York Times, but has yet to be fully told in the media. The new Campaign for America's Future report shows how major media outlets describe the 60-vote threshold as an ordinary procedure, neglecting that this tactic is an unprecedented assertion of minority control. __________________

Exactly what have the R's done to stop it? The answer is nothing, Nic. They had CONTROL OF BOTH HOUSES AND THE WHITE HOUSE and they did NOTHING to stop it.

[WhatsHisNuts]

Nico: What happened to the great "the economy is booming, great job George Bush" comments????? You can't see the forest for the trees. They tell you the economy is "booming", you credit the President. They tell you the economy sucks, you blame the Democrats in Congress. You're so biased it's sickening, but you can't even see it. Wake up. They are making you look like the simpleton you are.

Ah yes ... This coming from the motha fuckers that have blamed Bush for the rise in oil prices ( markets controlled by speculators ) , blamed Bush for the fall of the dollar ( this market also controlled by speculators ), blamed Bush for the housing market all brought on by unscrupulous lenders and idiot borrowers who levered their ass to the hilt.

Turn about is fair play -- Wouldn't you agree -- After all I am using every idiot Democrats logic on this board to blame the Dumbs for what has happened since the Dumbs took over congress.

You all make dumb shit statements about Bush all the time -- I thought I would just turn the tables on you and throw it back in your face. So, shut the fuck up about Bush if it is not his fault and I will do the same to your dumb ass leaders called Dumbocrats !!!!

Just FYI: The value of the dollar is not controlled by speculators. Think about it, but try not to hurt yourself.

Now, let's look at the rest of your post.
-Turn about is fair play? WTF are you talking about? You are the brilliant analyst that gave Bush all the credit when your sources said the economy was great, and the one that blamed Congress when your sources changed their tune. You're a puppet. Admit it. You don't have an opinion because you are incapable of thinking for yourself. I'm not a Democrat, so you can trash them all you like....it won't distract me from calling you out.

-We are always making dumb statements about Bush? Put us in our place then, but try using some facts to back up your statements, not swear words and insults. I know it's hard to enter a debate when you are starting with someone else's material, but come on. The value of the dollar is controlled by speculators????? Where are you getting this crap? If someone told me that, I'd laugh in there face....I wouldn't go post it on an internet forum.

[Anti GWB]

2 simple facts:

* Cheney has 25 mill in the Euro Bond Market and Bush signed the 57 pg
CFR Docs in March of 2005 that dissolves the dollar and replaces it with
the AMERODOLLAR in 2010

* Palast busted Rove with emails he received that outlined how BUSCHO
would cut off the flow of Oil once they controlled Iraq to keep the prices
high at the pump for Americans

If Perot can get 22% as a 3rd party guy then no reason Paul couldnt
as desperate as folks are in this country right now

The Repugs are great at not running on Issues and stealing elections
and do personal attacks is their 2 main keys to victories
