Democrats not compromising hurts the economy.
Democrats spending $$$ in ways that compete with the private sector and cause inflation hurts the economy.
Without the GOP obstacle, Democrats would spend trillions more and further bankrupt our future.
Do you think the fighting in Congress is hurting the economy?

There is never a call for compromise when Democrats are in control. They told the opposition to take a seat in the back of the bus.
As for the leader of the pack, Obama, just send him back to Kenya!
Yeah Democrats spend money like it grows on trees but the real villain spending far more money on things that are useless to the American people is the Republican-Tea party!
You need to watch these three news reports.
The first is on a brief report that shows the Republican-teabagger initiative to spend trillions of dollars on making us safer under the guise of protecting us from terrorists has been a waste of money. The full report comes out Sept. 6.
watch the pre-report here--> http://tinyurl.com/48ekago
The second shows that the Republican-teabaggers lied to the American people and the world in order to go to war in Iraq. If They had not lied, American citizens would not have supported the war, thus saving America trillions and thousands of American solders' lives. As soon as this lie came to light, we should have removed every single solder from Iraq.

The third news report shows that for 9 years the government knew of the problems in the banking system that caused the Great Recession (1 year under Clinton, 8 years under Republican-teabagger Bush) and did nothing. Which caused us to give trillions to the banking system so they could give themselves huge bonuses.

There is no refuting the FACT that Republican-teabaggers are the biggest spenders and wasters of our money. To blame ONLY Obama and not the source of the problem, Republican-teabaggers, is disingenuous.
You believe the trillions of dollars spend to make us safer against terrorism was money well spent that had a good cost to benefit ratio? Please explain why you think this?
You think the even though C-Span broadcast Brooksey Born warning the American people about problems in the "dark" financial markets 9 years (8 years under Bush) before they caused the Great Recession that is somehow Obama propaganda? Do you honestly believe the Obama propaganda machine started in 1998? really?
Finally, I am a firm believer in science. Good research is good research no matter who does it, and the best and only way to defend against the findings of research is to attack the research, not it's findings! So I ask you, how was the research that shows those who watch FOX News are the most misinformed incorrectly done? Where were the errors made in the research?
Tea partiers are notorious for treating science like a religion in which you can pick and choose what you want to believe, just like religion. So I will asked again, what is wrong with the research?
As far as the banking crisis, the genesis starts with Fannie and Freddie implementing liberal everyone should have a home policy. Here's your side shooting the messengers because they didn't like the message:

IF Republicans don't believe in ginormous government spending, explain this?
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages...
Republicans have *wasted* more money under the Bush administration than Obama could ever spend on all social programs, including healthcare! The trillions dollars spent to "make us safer" has been totally ineffective. Alert public citizens have stop terrorist attacks after 9/11 NOT the ginormous Republican spending.
PBS, what a reliable and unbiased source of news.
Obviously by your comments you didn't follow the link I posted:
http://www.sodahead.com/fun/d...
Fannie and Freddie guaranteed those crap mortgages and set the standards so low it was inevitable that these high risk borrowers would default. Why did they have to be bailed out by the tune of close to 200 billion dollars? This was all because of the liberal philosophy of everyone should, deserves, is entitled to a home.
You still have not explained to me why my assertion that "if congress would have listened to Brooksley Born in *1998* we would not have had the great recession regardless of what Fanny or Freddie did," is false?
Sure what Freddie and Fanny did was stupid and played it's part but everyone knew they were doing it. What Wall Street and the multinational banks did was completely in secret (Dark Market) which Republicans fought to keep secret.
It was the liberal philosophy that implemented this debacle via ACORN and the Community Reinvestment Act that set the wheel in motion.
If you're referring to that stale old survey from a liberal college in a liberal state asking liberals has as much credibility as Obama claiming there were "shovel ready" project, we just need to pass TARP 2 to get them under way, or all those "green jobs" that would magically appear.
Thank you for completely convincing me you are a Republican Troll and probably paid for it. If you go on YouTube and search "Fox News Lies" you will be inundated with proof that Fox News not only lies but makes you stupid. you really have to search YouTube "Fox News Lies" because the proof is hilarious!!! You really don't need scientific research to prove that Fox News lies and makes you stupid.
Also, the very fact that you attacked the research not by how the research was conducted but by who did the research and the finding, shows your lack of understanding about science. Research done correctly is unbiased regardless of who does it. So I ask you, "how was that research incorrectly done?"
It would appear that you are indirectly claiming only Republicans with an agenda can do research correctly because their results will be exactly what they (and you) want them to be.

It was not just derivatives, it was much more than that.
There are always profits of doom and eventually some hit the mark. A broken clock is right twice a day.
As for Brooksley Born, if you actually watched the news report, you would see that she didn't make "predictions" she saw the dangers and reported them to congress in 1998. Which by the way, both house and senate were controlled by Republicans in 1998 as well. So once again Republicans chose not to stop the looming economic crisis.
LOL ~ I think you need to stop watching Fox News and listening to talk radio so you can be better informed.
liberal (ˈlɪbərəl, ˈlɪbrəl)
— adj
1. relating to or having social and political views that favour progress and reform
2. relating to or having policies or views advocating individual freedom
3. giving and generous in temperament or behaviour
4. tolerant of other people

Unabated catering to multi-national corporations and Wall Street bankers at the expense of the middle and working class is by definition not "liberal philosophy" but "corporate socialism", a philosophy of the Republican/Teabagger Party. One would think someone like yourself claiming to be "All American" would know the English language and the definition of "liberal"..... You are clearly not an American citizen.... You better show us your birth certificate.

Progress and reform via government takeover?? No thnaks.
2. relating to or having policies or views advocating individual freedom
That's at odds with what liberals practice to day. You want to be wards of the state with government involved in everything.
3. giving and generous in temperament or behaviour
Yeah, giving generously with other peoples money.
4. tolerant of other people
Tolerant of other people until they express an opinion that differs from yours. Then the name calling, insults begin. You're side is totally intolerant.
Everything you post 1-4 is the exact opposite of what liberalism really is.
Also, the genesis of the mortgage meltdown was because of Fannie and Freddie lowering the standards to qualify for mortgage as per liberal philosophy.
Stop drinking the Kool-aid! Middle and working class people who are Republican's are sheople.
I guess in a sense Republicans are partially correct in calling anyone not a Republican a liberal since Republicans do not believe in progress, reform and definitely not individual freedom.
I am not even close to self-loathing. What I cannot stand are hypocrites, those that attack the middle and working class, racists and those that think just because someone is uber-wealthy they deserve special privileges, don't have to follow the law and tax exemptions at the expense of the working and middle class. All vices that Republicans have come to cherish. When the Republican party wouldn't support Alan Keyes because he was a black man was when my eyes were open to just how evil the Republican party really is.
It is far better to be called a liberal and not be than actually be a Republican. ~ MUAH-ha-ha
