Why would you even ask me that?

If I told you that if the situation were reversed I'd have the same opinion, would you believe me? Of course not.

We've explained the reason for the 2011 results. You just don't like the answer. Republican fiscal policy is what's been enacted or kept in place, that makes this economy the results of those fiscal policies.

Do Republicans ever take responsibilities for their policies?[/QUOTE

Obama had 2 1/2 years in office, had total control of Congress and a blank check for two of those years and yet this is Bush's fault? That is totally false but nice diversion. Obama has a 39% approval rating so tell me again how many people today blame Bush nor should they.

Of course I have acknolwedged the Senate majority many times. As I said then, having a 60 seat super majority is only beneficial if you can muster 100% of the 60 seats for every measure you favor, which isn't realistic -- at least on the Democratic side, where there is a wide range of philosophies, from far left to moderate conservative. Come to think of it, in recent days the Republican House leader had a hell of a hard time even mustering the support of a majority of his own members -- let alone 100% of them.

What kind of control did Bush have over the Congress in 2007-2008, you know the years you keep posting about Bush destroying the economy? Interesting how your tune changes daily but one thing that doesn't change is your inability to defend the Obama record. When does this economy and results become Obama's?

I love it how you partisans settle for the lowest political common denominator. You assume that anyone who doesn't like the dumbasses, **** ups, clowns, dirt bags, religious fanatics and fascists who represent the GOP stable of candidates is a Democrat or a liberal. In making that assumption you then compare everyone to Obama. You wrongfully assume that everyone who doesn't like piss poor candidates that the GOP is stumbling over is happy with Obama; will defend Obama; will vote for Obama. You are wrong. How about we don't like any of them? How about instead of defending unworthy people we insist something better?

Perry isn't going to win a presidential election and for a lot of reasons. He also sleeps with religious dominionists. You may think dominionists are just peachy, but the vast majority of Americans view them as religious fanatics. We don't want them in government. Period.

I for one would like Obama to be primaried, but that's not going to happen because the Democrats don't have enough balls to forward a real candidate.

And so here we are with pure crap from the GOP, a non-leader in the White House and Democrats without balls to proffer a worthy alternative to Obama. It's been dumbed down to unacceptable, but you accept it! A lot of us don't.

Tell you what Conservative if someone ****s in your left hand and someone ****s in your right hand are you going to want to argue over which **** you like better? That's what you are doing. That is what the political system is doing to America. And you are arguing over the merits of the **** in your right hand as if it is somehow better than the **** in your left hand! I find that absolutely amazing. But the system is winning as long as sheeple accept **** to the point that they begin liking one handful of **** better than the other handful. How about more and more of us don't want anyone ****ting in our hands? Can you comprehend that? Just because many of us think Perry is a charlatan, and Palin and Bachman are seriously intellectually limited doesn't mean we think Obama is great. Not everyone is going to defend the other handful of ****.

A little bit of logic and common sense along with an understanding of basic math will help you understand politics. There are two major political parties with a chance of running this country, Democrats and Republicans. The numbers show they make up over 70% of the electorate meaning that one of those two parties is going to govern. It is better to work from the inside instead of being on the outside and whining all the time about the results claiming you never voted for either. That doesn't make a lot of sense but it does make you a malcontent.

Approval ratings are not a measure of blame. They're a measure of approval. It is possible to think that Bush left us a mess and that the Republicans are screwing us over and still disapprove of Obama. A lot of people on the Left are disapproving of him for letting the Right get away with what they have.

Doubt that anyone is going to change your mind regarding Obama and his responsibility. In the liberal world it is always easier blaming someone else than accepting responsibility. You certainly have earned being part of that 39%, the rest of us haven't. Obviously you have never managed anything in your life. Keep blaming someone else throughout your life and see how that works out for you.

Love how liberals always claim they fixed one of my posts for accuracy when it is obvious that all liberals can do is divert from the failures of liberalism and never address the posts as typed.

I thought we were talking about Obama. Why do you keep wanting to bring everything back to Bush?

But since you asked, the damage in the financial meltdown was done prior to 2007. By that time 95% of the bad mortgages had already been written and the die was cast.

So what does that have to do with 2011? Wonder how long you would give a Republican to turn around an economy destroyed by a Democrat, i.e. Reagan cleaning up Carter's mess? 2 1/2 years with total control of the Congress for two years and a blank check isn't enough? Did Reagan have total control of the Congress at any time during his term? Did Bush? What were the economic results with that Republican total control?

interesting how the same folks who are so quick to insist that you can't judge another or know their heart when one is talking about (say) the sin of homosexuality are so quick to declare that they can judge another and know their heart so long as that someone is a conservative Christian.

only two people know whether what you just claimed is true - and you are neither of them.

towards voters - rasmussen screens for likely voters, as opposed to (for example) American Adults. In this case, it was "likely primary voters"; which doesn't mean the whole GOP or everyone in America who leans conservative, but does mean the people who will, actually, you know, be doing the voting.

In order to implement Democrat fiscal policies, they kinda have to actually pass a budget first. We're 800+ days without one.

I believe this is another example of what your hero Obama likes to call "leading from behind".

Couldn't agree more, TX has some incredible medical facilities that are world renowned. People from all over the world come here for Medical care. Destroys the negative comments of far too many about all the problems in TX. One of them certainly isn't the medical care and facilities here.

Bad medicine: Fox medical contributor likens Hispanic protests to "leftist dictators in Latin America" | Media Matters for America

Dr. Manny Alvarez is Fox News' senior medical contributor. He comes on TV to talk about the latest health scare or the new fad diet or whatever overhyped medical story is helping to fill the 24-hour cable news maw. But Dr. Alvarez apparently wants to expand his bailiwick beyond matters of medical science and try his hand at political punditry. And, given that he works at Fox News, you can already guess where this is going.

Right on cue, attack the messenger and ignore the message. TX has world renouned medical facilities and is a great place for doctors to practice.

Fox Invents Notion That Health Care Reform Will Require A "Prescription For ... Aspirin" | Media Matters for America

Fox News' Bill Hemmer and Dr. Manny Alvarez suggested that the health care reform law will lead to people "need[ing] a prescription for everyday items like aspirin." They based this claim on a provision in the law that merely requires people who buy medications using money from tax-free medical spending accounts to have prescriptions for those purchases.

Regardless of the guy the content of the article is right on. Been all over the country and there is nowhere that has better medical facilities than TX and that has to drive you and other liberals crazy. TX is demonized by others but we recognize it as jealousy. If you want a job, move to TX. If you want good medical care come to TX, Phil Mickelson brought his wife and Mom to M.D. Anderson for cancer treatment. Incredible Children's Hospital as well. Low taxes, high job creation, excellent economic results, part time legislature, balanced budget requirement, excellent conservative credentials and fiscal responsibility.
