		<description><![CDATA[Don&#039;t fall into the hype on republicans.  They are the party that does what they say, and say what they do.

Then time corrupts, along with the outcry of democrats.

We are in the place where Obama boldly insulted John McCain for knowing nothing about politics...

John McCain was one of the brave and few that challenged the efforts to give easy loans which caused our recession.  Democrats were for it.  Our current recession is caused solely due to those loans that Carter Clinton, and every democrat in office caused.

What is wrong at the moment isn&#039;t republicans, it&#039;s how they get across just how horrible the democrats are.  How do you say that without looking bad?

You may talk of republicans wanting the democrats to fail, it&#039;s only true because they are being blamed for all failure, even the current which was indefinitely the democratic party&#039;s fault.

Historically, if we compare presidents after JFK (who was a war monger as well) most our presidents have caused much less war, including Bush.  Yet democrats have us believing we have caused more, and we are worse.

We have people believing that the economy collapsed from deregulation, so sad.  I&#039;ll give you 150 dollars if you can name one specific act that was deregulated.  

Bush couldn&#039;t undo Clinton&#039;s train wreck of soft loans.  When he tried, he was boo&#039;d off stage, almost literally.  

How do you tell public:  We can&#039;t give you a home loan, because you just can&#039;t afford it??

The answer:  You can&#039;t.  So as soon as Clinton put that crap in place, we were doomed.  Insurance industries invested in the government approved loan plan, by investing in real estate.  These companies need to invest in order to survive at all.  I&#039;m in the insurance I know.  So what are we going to do, regulate what they can invest in, and leave that up to the government?  Oh wait...We already did.  They invested in what the government guaranteed in Clinton&#039;s presidency wouldn&#039;t fail.  And it did fail.  This caused banks to fail, insurance to fail, architects and engineers (the people I insure) couldn&#039;t get work, directly due to a loan freeze, everything nearly collapsed. 

Why?  Democrats.  Who was blamed?  Republicans.

I am sickened at how much good the prior congress did, and how much they were blamed for.

Bush was a bold good man.

Obama is doing the same things, and is putting another label on it.  Other than the fact that he just started those loans again.  The dems should be ashamed, not the republicans.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well said.  While I don&#039;t necessarily agree with your politics, you presented a pretty cogent analysis of the GOP&#039;s sorry state.  They&#039;re in sort of a weird state, the opposite of the Democrats in 2001-2 but just as damaging.  Rather than rolling over on their own commonly popular ideals like the Democrats did, the Republicans are digging their heels in on unpopular ideals.  I just hope, because of my personal politics, that the Democrats don&#039;t get as complacent and corrupt as the Republicans did and swing the pendulum back to the Republicans again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nice post.  I&#039;m not a Republican because I differ on their platform in a couple of areas.  But I am still saddened by the current politics of the party.  It is shameful and anti-American to hope for failure in times like these.  It is irresponsbile to complain yet not propose alternatives.  I think we need a division of the party to allow the ultra conservative wing to exist on their own.]]></description>
