So you voted against Barton last election, right?

Whew, that's a relief.

Now the Dems have complete control of the state I live in now.

Hopefully Texas can pay attention to how they do it here, and in NY, Cali and Michigan - get rid of ALL the conservatives, and be JUST as successful!

So you're part of the problem of which you complain. Vote against Barton next election -- then you can talk.

The man who invented the Magic Bullet theory is now a democrat?

This is not news. This guy is a loser. He craves attention. I could careless what party he is in. The whole New England Patriots cheating made this guy a LOSER!!!

I doubt he will be re-elected what ever party he is in. Plus screwing over the country voting for the trillion dollar package makes him a fucking loser.

Nothing magic about it if you choose not to lie about the positions of the victims in the car.

Well, one party is in complete, unfettered control of the Executive and Legislative Branches. Yippee.

Eh, it won't last.

One would hope. The illusion of divided government we must have.

Seriously, what happens if everything works out OK during this time, and none of the doom and gloom scenarios cooked up by the right wing kooks comes to pass?

If things do start to really suck, then the Dems will rightly get the blame.

If not, then what happens to the "conservative" movement in this country?

So, you and other libs on this board bitched about Bush running up record deficiits during his time in charge, but now that Obama is running up deficits greater than all the prior presidents combined you don't think qualifies for doom and gloom?

Hypocritical much?

The difference is, it doesn't make sense to run up huge deficits in economic boom times. It's not like there are any democrats jumping and cheering about the deficit, but when you're in the middle of a depression the public sector needs to be robust in order to recover.

But you wont get that, you'll just respond with a pre-cut ideological talking point

NO doubt....the GOP will go after Obama Clinton-whitewater style....its just a matter of time for them to come up with the right ruse...trouble is, like Clinton and Reagan before him, Obama is becoming a Teflon President....

How about you don't run deficits at any time and we don't spend $10K for every man, woman, and child in this country while pretending that's not enough to address every possible social ill and take care of that which the government is supposed to take care of?

A $3 trillion budget. $40K of federal government expenditure per family of four and that's not enough?

It's actually OK to run spending deficits in a recession, that's exactly what you should do...wasn't last year's budget 2.5 million with no recession? Where were you?
