MY Beliefs? you mean the facts? well ok, I'm a bad person because I believe in facts.. you got me.
of course it should be hard, but
it's never been this hard.. ever. It's routine, something that's done without objection every year.. something that's never done with the amout of blackmail and threats as is being done now.
the problem is there is a faction in the gov't today that relishes the idea of destroying the country in order to rebuild it. This faction yells
"Stop OBama, he's a socialist/Socialism is evil" while holding a sign that says
"Obama, keep you hands off my medicare and SS". This same faction raised the debt limit under 'their' president without hesitation.. but when another president, whom they've shouted down as a 'liar' during that presidents address to congress, or who just the other day said the only reason he was elected was because he was an, and I quote..
"articulate black man' and
'white guilt', came into office and put the wars,debts,and previous policies enacted by that other president on the books for the first time (because the wars,the medicare donut hole, and the tax cuts were never put on the books by the Bush admin or congress)..somehow he became the reason for all the debt when that is infact not true... yet this faction wants more than anything to ensure this 'articulate black man' doesn't get elected again by having any sort of economic recovery attached to him..
Nightmare recession indeed.. but that doesn't negate the extortion going on today by a select few who do not wish to see any progress being made.. and who in fact will profit if there is no progress made more so than they would is there was progress.. but having this person as the mouth-piece of their 'discussion on compromise' is somehow NOT counterproductive...
I believe you are the one who referred yourself as taking on lilmike's side of things, thus you are the reason for the nickname..
you opened the door to your nickname in this thread.. and you also mocked Chuck by saying..
so objection overruled.

OH....ok then....sounds good to me
i'll but that for a quarter...
yikes !
