Re: Potential Presidential Candidates

You're right on every point you made. It's sinful for so many Federal workers to be so hateful and misinformed. I really feel sorry for our country and our citizens.

Re: Potential Presidential Candidates

Communism and socialism gone???? What about China and North Vietnam? Maybe you should watch Fox News so you can get the rest of the story.

And, if fox news is so disreputable, why do they have so many viewers and why are other main stream media programs trying to mimic them?

My father had always been a die hard democrate. He was always saying that Democrates help the working class. In his sixties he started watching Fox News. And, little by little he began to say "well you know that makes sense" or I didn't know about that. People should be given all the news/information and let them form their own opinion. That's the part liberals don't like - people thinking for themselves.

Re: Potential Presidential Candidates

Mainstream? Are you condemning the thoughts and expressions of these individuals because they aren't mainstream? I guess they're not "right thinking" are they? And I assume that your description of Fox news as propoganda central is the correct way to think? I bet the American flag graphic waving in the corner of the screen drives you just insane! If it's OK with you, and even if it isn't OK with you, let's just let Democracy work and allow the free expression of thoughts, outrage or protest be heard unfettered by the PC police.

Re: Potential Presidential Candidates

Sadly, these Feds comments shouldn't surprise anyone. Most of these folks are just regurgitating what Bill O'Rally said or what some redneck Southern Baptist or evangelical hypocrite spouted from the pulpit. These Bubba-fascists are all afraid of having a woman in charge or, God forbid, a minority!
The greatest irony is in people voting against their own self-interests & against the tenets of the US Constitution. Where's a good Libertarian when you need one? Unfortunately, Ron Paul doesn't stand a chance.

Re: Potential Presidential Candidates

For The Management Analyst - USAG:

I watch FOX, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, ABC and CBS. If you would watch more than 1 channel, then you would see more views to make a opinion on this subject. As bad as Bush has made it in Iraq and the rest of the world, we need the best American who can solve that problem. I don't care if it a Democratic or a Republican or a Libertarian or a woman or a minority. I feel sorry for our country.

Re: election choices

Case Administrator
What evidence do you have that Obama was raised a Muslim and would sell out the country? The man lived in Indonesia, a Muslim country, for 4 years as a child below 10 years of age. He attended for 7 years a school that was founded by Congregational missionaries and now attends a United Church of Christ church....

Re: Appalling Commentary on Presidential Candidates

Retired IRS:

Bless your heart and your fully functioning intelligence. There seems to be a lot of that missing in the federal workplace these days. Whatever happened to the natural curiosity that propells individuals to get their information from several sources, not just one before they form opinions? We've known for many years that news agencies have "slants" when they report. Why would anyone want to go to just one source...unless they enjoy holding the village idiot title?

Re: Comments on Presidential Candidates

Ok USDA, let me see if I understand your “brink of ruin” concept correctly here..
Over the last several years taxes have been down, housing has been booming, the stock market has been at historic highs, unemployment has been near historic lows.. All this despite an inherited recession and an attack on a major civilian population center on our own homeland (a one two punch that no administration in the last hundred years has had to deal with). Sure sounds like we need to change directions, huh?

Lay off the “poison” talk, the purification lines and your overdone drama and look at historical fact.

Re: Comments on Presidential Candidates

Retired USDA, do you REALLY think that only ONE party has corruption problems?? Lay off the partisan garbage and use your HEAD!

Re: Comments on Presidential Candidates

Sounds like you're the one who needs to think and open your eyes with that kind of provincial mentality. Republicans are no prize (not many politicians from either side are these days), but vitriolic name calling won't solve any of our country's problems. Put the Kool Aid down and wise up.

Re: Comments on Presidential Candidates

For the Supervisor - DOD

What about Iraq? What about the Deficit? What about the Surplus? What about the KATRINA?

Re: Comments on Presidential Candidates

Right, the Repuplicans are bad....let's get Hilary in there to fix us up - Hubby Bill could be named Minister of Ethics...

Re: Comments on Presidential Candidates

Katrina? Someone actually wants to blame Katrina on the Republicans? Ever heard of Mother Nature? And what bunch of brain trusts want to re-build a city that is naturally below sea level?

Regarding Iraq, have you noticed that the terrorists have not managed another attack on American soil since we took the fight to them? I think President Bush is doing a great job in fighting the war on terror. Now if we could only convince Congress and the President that an actual physical barrier across our southern border is the best way to defend ourselves from an invasion of illegals who come here for the freebies - medical treatment, education, subsidized housing and food, etc. and NOT to do jobs Americans "won't do," but rather jobs Americans "can't afford to do" 'cuz wages are depressed by illegals paid in cash (and therefore not paying income taxes of SS taxes) and laws that allow them, once legal, to bring in their whole family . . . . Give me THAT presidential candidate!

Re: Comments on Presidential Candidates

DoD Supervisor

--Taxes down? For W's "Chosen People!" Not much for the rest of us! AND, our Dollar is now headed for Death Valley. China and Japan are our bankers!

--Housing? That loud noise you hear is housing going down the drain! Who will it take with it?

--Stock Market? There are about 55 Stock Markets in the world. Last year, America's were dead last!

--Every President should be so lucky as to inherit such a recession. When BUSH came in---we actually had surpluses!
Remember?

--There WERE two terrible attacks on our Homeland in 2001.
They were carried out and financed by Saudi Arabians: The great pals of the Bushes and Big Oil! Were those attacks PREVENTABLE? Only history will tell us! Bush won't!

You didn't mention them, but the two wars we're now losing, stealth inflation, and the poorest, most costly health care in ANY modern nation also deserve honorable mention in your administration's list of achievements.

THINK!! GIVE THESE BUMS THE BOOT!!

Re: Comments on Presidential Candidates

I just wish Bush could run for a third term.

Re: Comments on Presidential Candidates

Ok Retired, let me make it simpler.. Your “W’s Chosen People” phrase is nice and dramatic but it doesn’t hold water in the world of hard economics. The top 10% of income earners pay over 50% of all income tax. How “Chosen” does that sound? This group also produces new jobs and keeps unemployment low (which has been at historical lows for several years now).

The U.S. market has hit all time highs during the past few years, that is beyond dispute. Don’t cloud the issue with other markets in the world unless you want the us to try to control all the world’s markets. Speaking of the recession, it started with the tech bubble decline in early 00, Bush didn’t get to submit his FIRST budget till Nov 01. That’s how things work. Then came 9/11.

You really think big oil and Bush were behind the attacks? Please.. conspiracy theories are a dime a dozen.

Is the current adminstration is without fault? No.. but to portray the situation as you have exposes you as a partisan hack.

Re: Comments on Presidential Candidates

Hey Retired, you think our health care system is bad?? Try going to Canada or some other socialized health care system and see how long you have to wait for the same care you get almost immediately in this country!!

You want Government controlled healthcare?? Look at the VA.... that's how the Govt runs health care. Is THAT what you want???

Re: Comments on Presidential Candidates

Question for Retired - If we have the poorest health care system in the modern world why are so many people coming into this country for treatment because they can't get the medical care they need in their own country?

Re: Comments on Presidential Candidates

It's attitudes like USDA Retired's that make things worse. Screaming at the top of your lungs "Everything is the other side's fault" and calling them crooks and bums and buying into conspiracy theories is a noisy and attention getting platform but it's sadly lacking in credibility.

Re: Comments on Presidential Candidates

I'd suggest everybody not waste your breath on this discussion - you cannot reason with people like 'retired/USDA' as they are far too irrational for logical discussions. They will only see their facts and agendas and not ever open their minds to anything else. Sad, but that's the beauty of our free country this person so vehemently detests - we are all allowed to voice our opinions, no matter how illogical!
