The community organizer had three+ years, and what did he excell in doing?
Growing the national debt by $5 trillion, rewarding his friends/donors with taxpayers money
and punishing his opposition, taking lots of Air Force I trips and playing lots of golf.
I am more than ready to give a successful businessman a chance, esp. one with integrity
and good family values.
Who Can Run America Better a Successful Businessman or a Community Sympathizer?

How are you good friend? OS
Even IF we raised taxes on the rich, according our own Govt figures, it would only add less than 1/10th of 1% to Federal income! NOTICE, I did not say reduce debt, for DEMOCRATS would only see it as more money to spend!
You are on Medicare, yes? I will be soon also! So, just how long do you think that program will survive without making necessary adjustments to it? You know the answer. So does EVERY OTHER American. It will become insolvent! So, is that better for America than to face the issues now? Don't think so! :)
Time for us Americans to pull our heads OUT OF THE SAND and reality! Democrats cannot do that so they simply use fear and fiction to dig a bigger hole!
Anything would be better than Paul Ryan's fiasco, which would dismantle Medicare as we know it. Social Security is also in his sights, all so he can give another juicy tax cut to the rich.
I am on Medicare Part A, but I retained my health care coverage through the guild. Part A is mandatory. I will always promote Medicare Part E (everyone).
Let's not blame the Dems too much. There is not much they can do with the current makeup of both houses of Congress.
The best example of the class is Joe Walsh from Illinois, who thinks the job consists of trying to shout everyone down. Then there is Allen West with his 81 communists.
Very impressive class.
Our forefathers, many of them, did indeed enter into Politics and formed our nation to be declared a Country with it's own Constitution.... that's when we formed our Military to defend us, yes?
The very FIRST skirmish we faced, as a Nation was the pirates attacking our shipping interest off the Barbary Coast, yes? The initial agreement to cease those attacks was basically to pay a "ransom" to the Muslim ruled govt of Tripoli and Algeria, yes? Again, I'm simply taking this from memory.
That "treaty" did not work. Even though the Peace Agreement was specifically written without the "traditional" wording and mentioning of a "Supreme God"…. so as NOT to offend the believers in Islam.
Thus, when the Muslims did NOT live up to the initial treaty, not only collecting moeny from America for the provisions of the treaty but then still raiding ships and making slaves of their captives, we sent in the Marines! :)
YES.... the pirates of the Barbary Coast wars were indeed Muslim!
Let me know IF I'm wrong please! :)
As for what our original soldiers called themselves, I will have to check that too. Since they hadn't had time to enact a draft, they were probably all volunteers. The French helped out, but I don't know if they were conscripts or volunteers.
You will find my statements right, Jeremiah! :) Of course, I'm cheating a bit on you. :( I wrote a term paper on the subject and... even though that was 42+ years ago, I still remember much of what I wrote.
Right now, I cannot remember the name of our Ambassador to the North African coast, but it was him who had convinced Congress to write the "FIRST" Peace agreement to remove any mention of God. That was totally out of place with any and ALL agreements that had been made up until that time! Peace agreements between Countries were ALWAYS written with the "reverence" to an "Almighty God" back then! Somehow, even to the non-believer, it gave SUBSTANCE in the agreement that man was beneath some "greater" power and authority.
Anyway, since America was such a YOUNG baby, it was not in any financial or military means to send a contingent of men thousands of miles across the ocean. Furthermore, that Ambassador recognized the Islam religion would declare GOD being mentioned in any agreement would be "offensive" to them. So, the first accord did not inc...

However, when Thomas Jefferson realized that North Africa was still voiding the agreement and continued to attack shipping, that is when he committed to sending the Marines! In that second treaty, it contained ALL the mention and regards to God in that final treaty!
OK, I will take your word for it. It wasn't the last time the Marines have been sent to that part of the world, was it? Could it be the oil?
Im totally in favor of drilling our own oil and natl gas... you being from Texas certainly know we have at least 200 year supply in our own back yards! Then we could simply not be worried about EVER interferring with the Arhabs again! Would that not be nice?
Hey... Visit my new blog, will you! I've already asked CCR and others... think they are waiting for the traffic to "did down?" SH just posted it as a "RECOMMENDED!" :)

I was an active conservative Republican in a former life, but I realized they had nothing for people like me, so I switched to the party that did. I had my epiphany in the 1960's, a pivotal time in the nation's history. Later I became an independent, but I will remain to the left of center until the day I die.
I will look at your blog.
A successful business man is better equipped to handle huge budgets, meetings and publicity, policy, etc... therefore, in many ways, better for the economy... But, he'd generally be all for big business... the "little guy" might suffer as a result...
The community sympathizer would likely be more for the people, yet would also most likely be more for free health care, public assistance and free hand-outs...
Surely you jest!
...I just love the idea that a second generation politician like Mitt Romney should be seen as a successful businessman.
