and once again
Mr Shield spins his version of the truth completely ignoring the fact that the republicans has increased the federal deficit once again by holding firm to tax cuts for the rich. Big oil, the insurance industry and the Banks to name a few have record profit years as the rest of the nation suffers through the worst economic crisis in my lifetime. Yet, where are the jobs? Why are the banks not loaning money to small business to help stimulate the economy? You can not complain about deficits on one hand and ignore them on the other for the purpose of praising you party. But it is his right to spin this anyway he wants. But the facts are all around us and ignoring them is not going to make things better.
well, wayne
First the constitution is a living document changing over time to reflect the needs of the people. Second. Hiding your identity helps you to hide proudly behind your words (my opinion). I do not agree with personal attacks, snarky comments and outright distortions of facts. I am a liberal independent. While I lean left, I find the middle a lonely place over the last few years. The Healthcare debate, imigration all should be solved by now but, the polarizing left and right continue to vilify eachother like a couple of 5 year olds. Disagreement is healthy, Shouting so loud as to drown out the opinions of others (personal attacks, snarky comments )has become to normal and poisons the debate.
In short I agree with 1, 2, and 3. I hope you stay around
Giving Americans a "right" to
Giving Americans a "right" to quality healthcare is far from cummunism. The Problem is Democrats are spineless. Had they stood up the the Radical Right Wing and exposed them as being in the pockets of Pharma and the Insurance industry, The right wig would have had no choice but to come back to the center and do what is best for all americans.
Tron?
There is great passion and power in your views (which I mostly agree with). But using name calling make you as bad as any "Tea Partier" looking to excersize there "second amendment remedies". Ht them with the facts and contiue puting your strongest passion into your views. But don't sink to their level. We are better than that.
TRON HIT A NERVE?
I will agree with you that the word scumbag was poor choice. Shame on you Tron (finger wagging and all). That said, there seems to be no right wing beyond radical right and that is a shame also. If you are impressed with the way republicans have conducted themselves in the last 20 years then you have also lost sight of the middle. Conservative values are important to this country. So is disagreeing without being disagreeable. the middle is where the left and the right have a meeting of the minds to benefit this country. It is where compromise has taken place since the birth of our country. This is where we should all strive to be (in my opinion).
Thanks for letting me know the origin of the word scumbag as I had never heard the definition before. Now get verified and stand proudly behind opinions.
