that explains the difference between Libs and Cons by telling how they treat terrorists, as in, the Libs read 'em their rights etc, and the Cons just blow 'em away. Ha ha ha. They seem to be in a constant state of hypocritical denial. They claim to be the 'defense' experts, but forget they were warned about Bin Laden, and still let him enjoy the biggest massacre ever on US soil, then ran our military into the ground on an 'oops, bad info' war. They claim to be fiscally conservative, but just look at what they did with the surplus they inherited from 8 years of a Democratic administration.. They say they are against deficit spending, but threaten to shut down the gov't unless the top 1% get hundreds of billions in (borrowed money) tax breaks. They claim to be all for the Constitution, but gladly overlook separation of church and state, as long as 'their God' is in charge. They are against Socialism, and fought tooth and nail against Social Security and Medicare, but are first in line for the benefits. They claim to be the 'serious, rational' party, then nominate Sarah Palin for VP. They claim to have all the answers, even as our country struggles to survive after 8 years of W's 'reign of error'. They think they are the educated, intelligent ones, but the top 10 income/education states are all blue, while they hold down the all spots in the the bottom ten. They get their news from the 'Fair and Balanced' station that is the biggest propaganda force on earth. Hypocritical denial. That is their world, and it pisses me off each time I read one of their stupid E-mails that shows how they just don't have a clue.

1-Huge surplus in 2000 turned into huge deficit 2008.
2.WAR, based on WMD's, that weren't there.
3.Oil, bumped up about 1500%, with 2 big oil guys in charge, and a bogus war.
4. Financial rules changed, that killed us all, 'cept the big boys that caused the problems. Bailed out by checks from the Bush gov't.
5. Bottom line- Look at the world Bush inherited and the one he left us.
1. "Huge" surplus in 2000 was a result of Republican (actual conservative) budgets in the 1990s.
2. WAR, based on WMDs, which were there, just no nukes...you are just overlooking the "facts." This was a war authorized by Congress. They should have said no.
3. Bush/Cheney had little to nothing to do with oil prices, but believe what you want. Oil was about $30 in 2000. A 1,500 percent increase would mean $450 oil. Oops.
4. New oversite of finicial agencies were turned down by the DEMOCRATS in 2001-2006. The CRA was put on steriods by Clinton, which lead to much of the housing bubble. Those Bush-era bailouts have mostly been paid back...The republicans were at fault here of backing down, since they had the majority until 2006.
bottom line, Bush wasn't all that great, but most of the shit that happened wasn't really his fault.
And your confusing conservatives with Rebuplicans. If the Repubs during the last 10 years had stuck to conservative principals, we'd be in much better shape today.
In order for this government to continue running smoothly, change must occur, quickly. Boys must become men, name calling must stop, and numero uno, these idiots in DC must recall that they are working for us not themselves!
