these are the same people that wanted to break away from america....confederates they want to break down america...i want the prez to claim not paying the bills as a danger to the united states economy. which it is to tell the truth. and use his executive powers and overide the reps. right away!!!!

Doesn't work that way, nor should it. Heck, just imagine your least favorite president with that power and you'll understand why. Nor will this destroy the economy. Been done before and we're still here.
 
yes and we already know who will loose but it would be scary because we have a lot of nukes in the south and they might use them toward the north and west...

Oh that makes me feel so much better. You mean you judge a countries economy by whether you are "still here"? You've grown up in a lot of Republican administrations I guess. But we nearly didn't survive that last one.
 
are you talking about bush??? lol
 
excuse me boss ..the clown and chief has more education than you ....lol ....an educated person would not have made the statement you made..... you are talking from emotions and maybe hatred.....name calling is an automatic sign of ignorance...

Hence your use of 'boss' and 'clown'.

Nuff said.
 
anybody who reads your posts knows better.

Who the hell do you think you are, assigning labels to people?

See, you self-describe as a Libertarian, but you spew pure Republican claptrap. But I wouldn't call you a Republican, or a conservative, since you don't self-identify as one.

Leave the labeling to others and actually refute the argument at hand, if you can.

I'm Thrilla.... the guy who doesn't give a **** if you are butthurt.

you don't know Moot, newbie... i've been around her for a number of years.. on this forum and others.
we fight like cats and dogs.. always have... but outside of political issues, she's pretty cool.
 
Whatever.

That was then, this is now.

Let's all wait and see how this works out for the GOP.

I predict that they won't like the results of their own stupidity.

I hate the GOP. They are just as criminal and wrong as the obama administration. I can assure you that every movement they make is fueled by dishonesty and scandal. Their motive for doing this is to make a campaign to impeach obama, not because they give a sht about the american people and spending. On the surface, however, they are right. The insanity must stop. The line has to be drawn somewhere.

I remember it was during the "sequester", I read that obama "gifted" to egypt 1.5 billion dollars and a squadron of jet fighters. Right in the middle of the "sequester"!! We didn't have the money, but for dear ol egypt, a MB country that is hostile to the US, he borrowed it from China and sent it direct via moneygram! I thought, this is weird if obama is a president by the people and for the people. Not weird if he is a president for the puppeteers, whose goal is to run america into the ground and collapse the dollar so they can usher in a new world of global dominance.

The truth tends to bring out the crickets here on DP...
 
Or it could be The Stoopid hurts to much to respond to.

You can't respond, so you did the only thing you could. Don't feel bad. The raw and gritty truth leaves EVERYBODY speechless.

It is hard to rest that which has not been made. When did the determination to live within our means become and intent to destroy our government?:peace

This has nothing to do with "living within our means."

The video is just showing how obama is full of it and does not live up to his word. Boehner explains how in a series of talks, they came to a balanced agreement. Then Obama renegs, insisting on 400 billion dollars of unnecessary spending, contrary to his promise to the american people.

Am I a little too raw for everybody here? I may go straight to the point, but why beat around the obama?

Here is where I would have thought that obama supporters would come to his rescue, but under the circumstances, it's understandable why the crickets are out instead. It's clear by now that obama says one thing, and does the other. That's okay though, after all, he's a politician. But this time it's our livelihood at stake. With the looming and realistic (many say imminent) threat of the dollar collapsing - for this clown to demand 400 billion dollars of unnecessary spending, is borderline treachery. I would like to say stupidity, but obama is not stupid. It's clear he is bright and intelligent. So....bright and intelligent + tryng to collapse the dollar/the economy = treasonous.

I know that many of my my posts are powerful threadstoppers but my intent is not to have everybody run away because of the uncomfortable truth. I thought the purpose of debating politics was to identify problems and discuss solutions. What I'm seeing here is that when a problem is identified, everybody scatters. Pointless.

Then again, maybe there's nothing to discuss. After all, what other solution could there be other than replace obama with someone who won't insist on buckling the economy? 400 BILLION dollars..... That's 400,000 X 1,000,000 !!!
