Mark, I think you are wrong, there a millions of people that think the way Slipped Cork does AND THAT IS WHAT'S SCARY!!

Grumpy

Alot of people are scared of change Grumpy. I am to some degree myself. I look back to the 8 years of reagen and the 8 years of clinton and there was no more prosperous time I my 43 years. Bush 1 wasnt too bad but the read my lips line done him in. The last 8 years bush 2 got us into a war on false pretense that we cant finish. Destroyed the budget that clinton got almost to a surplus. Cut every program imaginable to try and pay for a unwinable war. I could fill this page of things why I did not like the way this country was headed. None of you are going to give this guy a chance because you are afraid of change. I assure you,we could not keep going in the direction mccain would have taken us, down the same path as bush. We needed new ideas and obama had them. And yes there are millions of us who think differently. If we all thought alike there would be no need for a democracy.

Slippedcork you are right in part, I am afraid of change and we do need it. But the change at hand is going way too fast. So fast that congress does not even have time to read the bills before they place a vote. Is that smart. We all no it is not smart. I do have some questions.

Who signed NAFTA? Clinton. Was it good for America? Hell no. Who supported NAFTA? Both parties. Who do I trust? None of them and that is what is so sad. I think most would agree on here that we no longer trust our leaders.(both parties)

Oh and check this out here is our tax dollars at work. http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/20...niversary.html

Now someone tell me why we would or should be doing this?

Now I am a repub but I vote split tickets because there are good and bad in both.

OK slipped ROCKER.........er, I mean cork.........just how safe today are you SINCE those wars. I think NO attacks on the US is kinda a good metric...but hell I guess you think they are all giddy about Obama and will NEVER attack us again....RIGHT.

With regards to that Clinton budget........how did he GET there.......

I will tell you how.........

He GUTTED the military.......WHICH is why we had to do some silly biltz type war effort in the beginning......

Here is a list of military cuts out of slick willies administration........

709,000 REGULAR (ACTIVE DUTY) PERSONNEL.

293,000 RESERVE TROOPS.

EIGHT STANDING ARMY DIVISIONS!

20 AIR FORCE AND NAVY AIR WINGS WITH 2,000 COMBAT AIRCRAFT

232 STRATEGIC BOMBERS.

9 STRATEGIC BALLISTIC MISSILE SUBMARINES WITH 3,114 NUCLEAR WARHEADS ON 232 MISSILES.

500 ICBMs WITH 1,950 WARHEADS.

FOUR AIRCRAFT CARRIERS AND 121 SURFACE COMBAT SHIPS AND SUBMARINES PLUS ALL THE SUPPORT BASES, SHIPYARDS, AND LOGISTICAL ASSETS NEEDED TO SUSTAIN SUCH A NAVAL FORCE.

And at the time......these cuts would have made up the 3rd largest army in the WORLD..........yea...........Clinton sure served us WELL.

Later,
