Seems like the republican crowd is well represented in the lounge! Well, a democrat would say that to be a good republican you have to spend money you don't have...Did you know that 80% of the 9 trillion in national debt has been incurred by just 3 republican presidents? Amazing huh? Regan, Bush, Bush...mortgage our children's future and spend it today. Tax and spend becomes borrow and spend.

Citizens Against Government Waste does a good job of tracking our
senators and representatives voting spending habits. You might want to check it out and see who is voting to spend the money. Very interesting.

Checks and balances what?

Tday,

I am a registered Democrat and I haven't seen our bunch doing anything to help this country and the citizens for the past 25 years. And the Democrats controlled Congress for many years and nothing was done to help the country. Now the Governor of New York has decided he is the ultimate lawmaker and is going to give illegal aliens drivers licenses so they can vote. And where is our power happy *****, Hillery and why hasn't she taken a stand on that insane issue? I thought that to vote you had to be a citizen and I didn't know that some dam crook giving drivers licenses to illegals made them citizens. I think that every politician from the president right down through the complete Congress and Supreme Court should be kicked out and a whole new bunch put in.

Yes, Ron...I'm with you...I just think it's embarrassing to be either these days. The democrats are completely lame and the republicans lost their way and went to the fringes too. But the devisive kind of stuff that dems are sh** or republicans are nazi's drives me nuts. Give Jefferson's inaugural address a read and you'll see how we've drifted from the center, and good informed debate and lawmaking with principle. I'm with both sides of this debate, really...the center needs to be reclaimed by people with purpose. Tom

Tom,

I am in full agreement with you. I think that party politics stink. The country and citizens should come first and no matter which party comes up with something good it should be supported by the other. I don't believe that either party is worth much right now. And it is really to bad when no one can even run based on their records but all you hear is what dirt they can dig up on the opponents. I don't dislike anyone based on what party they belong to, I am just frustrated that we have so many problems and no one seems to want to do anything but talk about them.

Bush's approval rating is in the low 30's. Congress approval rating is at 11.

Throw all the bums out.

You beat me to it Warren...and that's exactly right!. Sadly, most folks will continue to ho-hum. That is until they get riled, Like when the 'immigration legislation' was introduced and every senator was hammered from their constituents.

Cobrabill · #11 (**permalink**) 10-28-2007, 07:30 PM

Congress' rating is LOWER than when controlled by the Republicans.So much for Pelosi and the rest of her "wack-pack".

Here's an interesting link to one of Hillary's escapades:

Ok, we already did a survey in here and most folks tend to be a bit conservative. That is not an idictment...but rather an expected result. No catalytic converters, spit more unburned gas out the tail pipe than is used for power, more power than two 2400 pound cars would ever need...probably creating gas shortages wherever they go... Stop while you are ahead, or sign the loyalty transfer papers. Loving God and country whilst creating jobs and gas shortages IS the American way.
