Don't worry they are around.

Can you list the specific measures that you would like for us to respond to?

(And please try to contain your urge to list the measures with your own cute conservative spin terms...thanks!)

I would expect you'd think that way.

When you get more specific and list these issue WITHOUT YOUR SPIN, then I'll be happy to respond.

How do you feel about a half-Muslim president ignoring the problem of Muslims hating airplanes and Christmas?

It's the worst crisis this country has known since the Pope secretly ran America through his puppet, John F. Kennedy.

Popery!!!!

That's already legal in Oregon.

Ok, in all fairness, here's a short list of items I think were hot buttons in the election for many of the true libs, and would like a score card on how you think the president has done on them and why you feel that way. ...and I'm looking for response from folks who self identify as a liberal, not an independant.

1. The Healthcare Bill as currently structured, as best you understand it right now.

2. The wars in Iraq and Afganistan.

3. The decision to try the 9/11 attackers in civillian/criminal courts.

4. The closing of (or the plans to close) Gitmo.

I look forward to seeing your responses.

---The Liberals (or the one you call Liberals) aren't as Liberal as you try to label them.... just as the Conservatives weren't that Conservative [note the debt doubled between 2000-08... that is not being conservtive ]

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

--Give it up.... He had half-crazy Christian minister and you complained about that too.

PS: The Puritans did not celebrate Christmas or Easter but some here keep about pounding keeping the traditions of our forefathers. They also burned people at the stake for not believing as they did. I am very much a Christian but what you think was true is often a myth. The Southern Christians had no problem with owning slaves either.

Muslims hate airplanes ????? Seems like some of them love to use them as weapons.

3. The decision to try the 9/11 attackers in civillian/criminal courts.

I really, really hate getting involved in these, but the word stickler in me can't help it... The attackers, in the most appropriate sense of the word, would have to be tried in a sieve or an hourglass. You're talking about the people we're prosecuting for planning the attacks.

Don't assume anything about my politics... Just saying that all the people who actually carried out the attack are dead.

[UNTflyer]

note the debt doubled between 2000-08... that is not being conservtive

And that projected debt has almost quadrupled again in just the first 6 months under Obama... I bet you're REALLY mad about that!!!

(Oh, wait... he has a (D) by his name, so that makes it OK. Selective outrage.)

So, I guess no serious discussion? Anyone?

Sorry.

Nope... Everyone knows who was President when this economic mess started... It will be expensive to recover from it plus after the 5000+ DOW drop, the capitol gains are now nearly non-existant on tax forms which mean a lot less taxes will be collected as well... plus we have more un-employment expenses now as a result.... By collecting less taxes and having more expensives --- of course the debt will rise... We all know when this started...

Regardless, there is no plan to have a budget surplus ... evah. We're going to need increase taxes dramatically at some point if we're ever going to pay down any of this debt we've accumulated.

Or we need to need to spend less and pay off our debts. I dislike the idea that you have to raise taxes to pay off debt. I don't get to just increase my income if I get into debt.

I'll be glad to respond, but its been crazy busy at work...probably this evening when I get home.
