Dakota, I'm closer to agreeing with you than you know. It's just your reasons for opposing stuff and your priorities that are all screwed up.

Hell yeah, the Republicans' top priority - or the MOST PUBLICIZED one - was cutting taxes on the rich. Did you get that? MOST PUBLICIZED! How can their be DECEIT when the dumbass Republicans FLAUNTED the fact that they want to cut (or at least not raise) taxes on the rich? It's that exact DUMBASSERY that got them beat - twice. Why do middle class people vote Republican? First of all, they are FAR from a unified group. Maybe 55-60% of what most people call "middle class" vote Republican, and mostly it has nothing to do with taxes. There's at least a half dozen issues equally or more important as reasons for voting a certain way. But to the extent that middle class people do vote Republican because of tax cutting, it's because the cuts (or non-raising) apply to them as much as to the rich. WHERE exactly do you see DECEIT there?

The top one %ers didn't "earn it", they stole it. The bottom line in all of this is the transfer of wealth from the middle class to people who already have more than will ever need. It is called greed, and it has really become sickening.

Just show me a "middle class" person who's hurting. If you did find one, he's probably just like you - failing to appreciate the good he has, instead getting all jealous or whatever of those who have more.

That ain't the way to live, Dakota. You are so fond of bringing up the "Christ-like" way. Does that include envy/jealousy/covetousness?

Those wealthy thieves - and I'll give you the point that they are every bit as bad that way as you think they are - have no agenda except to enhance their own position. Are they hurting you or me? Are they TRYING to hurt anybody? I really don't know WHO you presume they are stealing from, but it sure ain't me, and I'm pretty sure it ain't you.

Leftists, on the other hand, spell out their agenda. C H A N G E - and that means messing with the three items which make YOUR LIFE and MY LIFE so fantastically GREAT - FREEDOM, COMFORT, and SECURITY. God damned piss ant Obama by his own words earlier in life, would remove America from our position of dominance, thereby making a whole host of shit things possible/likely. They - the stinking damn leftists - would have us live much less luxurious lives - not just the rich you hate so much, but ALL of us - It's not just me saying that; It's in their own manifestos and mission statements. They would regulate us into oblivion - grabbing our precious freedoms - NOT for a good and valid purpose like preventing terrorism, but for a bunch of sick shit about the environment, nutrition, safety, and a dozen other bogus excuses to mess with our good life. It irritates me that the terrible trio in here throw such a hissy fit over things like Homeland Security - which really serves a life saving useful purpose and say so little about the totally useless and absurd leftist shit that is doing MUCH more harm to our rights and freedoms.

And you, Dakota - NOT a leftist ....... but you have the gall to whine because I don't complain about selfish rich bastards who ultimately affect nothing as much as the poor picked on leftists - yeah right! Get your damn priorities in order.

edit: Oh yeah, and one more thing about DECEIT: You and I are shooting pool. I call my shot "8 ball cross side"; I bank it in and win the game. Did I DECEIVE you? Hell No! I beat your ass, but I called my shot - I sure didn't deceive you - much like the stupid Republicans on tax cuts for the wealthy - brag about it, call their shot - and let it cost them the election - the dumbass fools - and you know what? They MISSED THE SHOT - the tax cuts they made such a big deal about and alienated so many people when the leftist media played it up? They didn't even get passed.

Technically, of course, a president doesn't pass anything, and he can't get impeached for following the letter of what Congress passes, but whatever on that.

Nice that you agree with the OBVIOUS - media bias.

What exactly was wrong with Bush in your eyes? I take it, you aren't a Bush-hater for the bullshit reasons the left likes to demagogue about him, so what?

As for Iraq, what did Bush SAY was the reason for invading - as opposed to what actually WAS - in your opinion - the reason? MY opinion is that Bush maybe lied to hoodwink that most EVIL of villains, the leftist mainstream media - who couldn't handle/would have vilified the true reason. Would you agree, the STATED reasons were WMDs and al Qaeda activity within Saddam's borders? Technically, there WERE WMDs, just not many and not new and up to date, and there WAS in fact an al Qaeda camp inside Iraq's northern border - Ansar al Islam was its name, as I recall - I posted a lot about this, but it was over six years ago - before I "retired" from posting. The TRUE reason, IMO was O I L. Would you concur with that? And oil, to me, is a damn good PRO-AMERICAN reason. It also is a reason which the God damned ANTI-AMERICAN assholes of the left, particularly the leftist Mainstream Media hate and disparage. So what to do? LIE to the bastards!

As for Osama, considering the extremely great political benefit of getting him, I have to believe Bush did his level best to get that job done - unfortunately for everyone except piss ant Obama, he was unsuccessful.

Speaking of getting all wound up over stuff we "can't control", let me ask you the same as I asked Wade, do you believe the INSIDER/ILLUMINATI conspiracy theories - behind the scenes pulling the strings, controlling pretty much everything? And if you believe in it, do you see it as a good thing or bad? I was first "informed" about this the one and only John Birch Society meeting I went to - by a kinda wild-eyed half crazy gentleman. I never went back because I considered him/them/the theory to be loony. However, in recent years, I'm coming around to believing it. How about you?
