Agreed, but if you are implying that the democrats haven't been liars or opportunistic lately, you are out of your mind.
No doubt, however, they are in the minority. The rest of the pack is RWNs, period. The overarching message of the republican platform for years has been SMALLER government and yet the current administration has it zealots that advocate for complete domination over our private lives from domestic surveillance (aka. spying) to the bailout of Fannie and Freddie that will only add further burnden for us tax payers. If that ain't hypocisy, I dunno what is!
You are absolutely right. I wouldn't consider GW a typical republican though... Isn't it Obama and friends that want more tax rebates?? The debt is going up no matter who is in office.
I mean no disrespect, but I bet you were sold on his "compassionate conservatism" bullshit 8 years ago. It makes me sick how these same people, who supported him thick and thin 8 years ago to get him into the white house and proceed to reelect him 4 years ago to only drag this country across the point of no return, are now just brushing him aside as irrelevant in support of his twin, McCain, who I think is worse than Bush. At least Bush never cared about "staight talk". He just lied through his teeth that divided this country beyond repair. Some compassionate conservatism!
Ok, I would just like to say to everyone on this thread, regardless of party affiliation, 34 yrs Rep vs 26 yrs Dem( and I will assume those 2 be true)it seems obvious to me which way the country leans. Secondly, I would ask everyone to consider 1 thing. How is a Rep Pres going to get anything accomplished with a Dem House and Dem Senate in control and vice versa????? By the way, which is the current state we are in and have been for the past 8 yrs. Point is you go nowhere, and if anyone else doesn't see this than shame on you. But it is unfair to blame the Pres at the time for the state of the country of such entity! Need not reply if your response is going to be one of ignorance or petty name calling. Just shows lack of maturity.
You are sold on Obama's propaganda, just a bunch of bulls, all talks but no actions; his records should tell you that. As Joe Lieberman said in his NRC speech, Obama voted 130 times "present" but not yes or no; it's like I "uh, I don't know, I can't decide". sg20
Where the hell you been for the last 8 years? The Dems came to control both house and senate only within the last 2 years, and that's because the public was so goddamn sick and disgusted of Bush. Get your facts straight before deciding to take the role of an arbitrator!
Obama flip-flopped only once: on the issue of taking the public financing. McCain flip-flopped more than once: on issues of immigration, off-shore drilling ban and, above all, restraint from smear campaigns. So I say you're full of shit.

You never know, he'll stab your back as well when he finds it convenient.
funny how people keep talking about how Clinton left Bush a shining surplus, and W blew it. Therefore, the economy would have continued that way AFTER 9/11 if a Dem was president??? Think Clinton wouldn't have gone to war after 9/11?
