I think the US conservative movement got lost in its own PR these last eight years. It's stunning to see how badly they're taking their losses in the last election.
I think Obama is doing a fine job overall, and my confidence in the future of America is much higher now than it was this time last year. I shudder when I imagine how our country would have been led had McCain/Palin won the election.
Unfortunately, I think this letter is the most intelligent anti-Obama letter DN received yesterday. You have to wonder what the letters were like that they didn't print. Pretty terrifying, actually.
Guess you don't watch much of the town meetings that Obama's staff put together (referring to sucking out America's brain power).
Watch in the days ahead, the media is even starting to turn on Obama. Could it be the brain power has finally shifted?????
A better idea.... START A REAL CHOIR! Call yourselves the RED RANTERS.
"The addition of Al Franken to the Senate ensures passage of even more job-killing legislation that cannot be stopped."
Just yesterday a complaint was lodged that the stimulus package had over 800 pages that needed to be read within one day before it was voted on. 800 pages sounds like a detailed plan.
Calling the president's health care plan "socialistic" is like calling the snow at an east coast ski resort equal to the snow in the Utah Mountains - not even close. The president is simply looking for ways to make insurance affordable and available to all who want it by using the insurance companies first, and where that option is not available, a government supported system.
Al Franken's entry into the Senate won't guarantee anything - you've seen how undisciplined Democrats vote, haven't you - but it might guarantee that an issue will make to the floor of the Senate for a vote of the simple majority rather than being stuck in filibuster by a minority group of Senator's. Isn't that a good thing?
I believe more than half the country feels the same way and would take back the last election in a heartbeat--if only there were a good alternative.
Time to leave, what do you think the Cap and Tax bill is other than a massive energy tax on the middle class?
What do you think the decision to tax health care benefits is other than a massive tax on the middle class?
You and the other Democrats who closed your eyes and voted this idiot into office are now getting exactly what you deserve, unfortunately the rest of us are getting it too.
