GOP Control is Coup for Bush

Quote:

Winning a Senate majority represents a major political achievement for President Bush and gives his party control of the legislative agenda in a chamber where White House initiatives have frequently been thwarted.

But without a wider majority than the Republicans are likely to get, the president will still face frustrations.

"The likelihood of getting sweeping legislation done is very, very small," says Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute. That's because Senate rules make it possible for a minority, or even a single individual, to block legislation. A filibuster of a bill — where opponents, in effect, talk it into oblivion — can only be stopped with a 60-vote majority.

Even so, Republicans will have more opportunities to move legislation. Democrats have used their control of committee chairmanships to bottle up presidential nominees whom they considered too conservative and to block a number of Bush's pet projects. But Republicans will chair all the committees beginning in January, and possibly sooner.

"Republican" and "Common Sense" are not to be used in mixed company.

I want to tell you a little about myself, so you'll know where I'm coming from. First off, I am 35 years old.. I am thrice divorced.. and I live in a van down by the river!

see, but if everyone would find an honest way to take care of themselves and their family, we wouldn't have to worry about society as a whole. i personally don't think i should be held responsible for the actions of society, when all i can control is me.

+ Karma for Jimmy. Its good to see that someone has some idea of where to go in life. I agree, I care more about me and my family than I do as society as a whole. And I agree with your comment about society not having nearly as many problems if people took care of themselves and thier own.

We are so fucked. I mean both parties are bad but the dems are the lesser of two evils. Once we start letting the right run the entire show it will not be long before Prayer is back in schools and abortion is outlawed under penalty of death.

I can see it now in a few years this country could become an Evangelical Christian theocracy. Where Atheists, Feminists, Liberals, Homosexuals, and any other group that makes baby Jesus cry will be executed on site.

Land of Liberty indeed.

Perhaps if any of what I said happens (the more realistic ideas) a revolution could occur.......

Even though I'm Christian...amen brotha'. Oh, wait, you're atheist, I mean um, yeah, you're right. Except for the prayer in school stuff(partially, I mean you should be allowed to, as long as you don't coerce anyone into doing it). The abortion part I disagree with, partially again. I'd say abort only due to medical complications and the doctor is 100% sure it's necessary if the mother is to survive. I don't see it fit to abort for a simple whim of not wanting a baby.

People pray in school all the time but to themselves. Nothing is wrong with that. Some of my catholic friends used to cross themselves before a a test which I found mildly amusing. You want to pray do it but to yourself.

Abortion has nothing to do with me it's not my choice not my body they do what they want infact why do people even need to know? The old saying goes "if you don't like abortions don't have one"

hahahahaha!

see, the liberatarians and greens would be the ultimate set of checks and balances against one another. they're far enough apart on major issues that a wonderous national debate might actually break out, and progress might actually get made! and their first acts as a congress would probably be to repeal all the back-asswards drug laws, attempt to lower taxes, increase corporate accountablilty, and be more stringent on environmental issues. socially, abortion (a sensible form of population control) would be come NOT SUCH A FUCKING BIG DEAL, and as a result, standard of living increases would be rampant. campaign finance reform would get passed, and it would take the wanton major donations from corporations out of the race, and make candidates actually work FOR THE PEOPLE. how's that for a concept?

As a single white guy that is toiling away, making enough money to pay his bills every month, but living BELOW the poverty line, i would gladly pay more taxes than i already do (which is still an enormous amount) to see some logical, non-reactive legislation enacted.

Fuck the GOP. Common sense outbreak my ass.

You really don't understand the issues, do you? The GOP's tax cut isn't going to help you in any substantial amount unless you're in the top 10% of earnings, (the top 1% of the nation), you're pissing off most any other foreign country that still has any modicum of respect for us (and most don't), and you're buying into a corporation-based economy that has no need for you.

Way to look out for "your family", patriarch jimmy.

Lately I've been feeling dead inside, Like my guts have dried up and died
But every night I water them back to life
When I fall down I'll fall apart, Trade in my bike for a shopping cart
and beg change from a world that needs some
But I'm so inebriated that I cannot see, Between the moon and you, lunacy is setting in

MBS, please don't embarass yourself by replying to any sort of political thread ever again.

Quote:

1. It's not your paycheck. It's your mommy and daddy's.
2. It's not necessarily out of your paycheck. Monetary value taken from your paycheck is returned to you in services; such as education, police protection, public transportation, etc.

By invading their countries and installing dictators? Yeah.

Corporations don't need individuals. Don't be so naive. Hence the shift from life-long employee-ship to the temp workers we have today.

My public high school sucked, Ive never used any forms of public transportation (at least not that I HAD TO PAY FOR) and I live so far out in a rural area the police would never get here in time.

Quote:

Bush has bombed Afganinstan which housed the terrorist that made a DIRECT ATTACK on us. Bush also wants to make sure Iraq lets in the weapons inspectors and make sure they are actually WEAPONS INSPECTORS AND NOT TOURISTS! Clinton bombed Kosovo to get attention off of his penis activities. Clinton also sent the Rangers into Somolia after a guy that had absolutely no effect on us, and he didn't even finish the job.

Lazy off and do nothing when you are suppose to be working then you will find that your stay with that corp is as temp as possible. Work hard and you will find the opposite.

Congrats, you just recieved the first negative karma point I have EVER given to anybody.

As a highschool student, you're not old enough to pay taxes other than ss, which isn't a tax. Also, 90% chance you don't make enough annual money to be taxed anyway, as any job a highschool student would have that would garner that much money would require said student to be almost a genius, which you MOST DEFINATLY are not.

Dumbass. I told you not to reply.

So what if you had to pay for the transportation? The higher the taxes, the less you have to pay.

The rest of your points are too stupid to address...

Bullshit. That statement is so naive it doesn't even necessitate a reply, but I'll give you one. Ever heard of Downsizing? Mergers? Think only the lazy ones get fired?

Where has the sunshine gone? Where do our two hearts blend?
Where has love gone and hidden? Where must I go to find?

i'm sorry, but i remember receiving a little check in the mail just two years ago. i believe that helped me. it definitely helped more than the tax hike that would have ensued to create more "surplus."

Quoted from Stevo:
you're pissing off most any other foreign country that still has any modicum of respect for us (and most don't),

since when was the respect of other countries important to me? what do i get in the package deal that contains the respect of countries such as the netherlands, sweden, finland, china, north korea, france, etc? what benefit could there possibly be in becoming the netherlands' closest ally? free hookers? marijuana? a nation who loses ground to the sea every year? sweet deal. it's not like they're going to invade us if they get mad enough. the fact is that the global community may not respect us, but they damn sure do fear us. in those cases, i would rather be feared than respected.

Quoted from Stevo:
and you're buying into a corporation-based economy that has no need for you.

two words. small business. you provide a service, people pay you. you live *modestly*, but with job security out the nose and independence from the whims of some CEO that's looking to make a quick million. another way of avoiding becoming corporate-dependent is public service. we always need teachers...we always need law enforcement. these jobs don't pay well, but are secure. i don't need a 6 billion square foot home and 59 benzes in the driveway to be happy. (yes, i understand these jobs are tax-dependent. it does not bother me that a tax cut would result in lower salaries.)

Quoted from Stevo:
Way to look out for "your family", patriarch jimmy.

my family will not need to be wealthy to be happy. my children will be taught the value of hard work. they will be taught to be thankful for what they have and not to depend on others around them for security and happiness.
