Yes Republicans lost the election, and the country has gone to hell since the Democrats took over Congress in 2006.

John McCain, our standard bearer? Give me a break, we lost because of John McCain...true Conservatives were very wary of this guy, whose claim to political fame is pandering to Democrats.

Democrats love to raise taxes on things they believe are harmful...tobacco, alcohol, and firearms are great examples. They know that if you raise taxes on something is discourages its use. By using that example the opposite of raising taxes is lowering them, this encourages the activity, which is making more money, because you actually get to keep more of it. Lowering taxes works everytime it is tried.

I actually laughed out loud at Lord Obama's address the other day when he said "There are no earmarks in this bill." Just because Democrats can openly include pork into THEIR bill without having to hide it like they did in the past, doesn't mean it is not an earmark. 30 million dollars to protect a freaking mouse in Pelosi's district is definately an earmark, same thing with millions of dollars for a Mob Museum in Dingy Harry Reid's state.

Lowering taxes has never been a problem. Wasteful spending is always a problem, whether it is in your household, your business, or your government.

BS. The country was already in hell well before the mess started. With over $200 million being spent on Iraq a day, deregulation in wall street and the Bush tax cuts that have come to bite us in the ass, the vast majority of this mess lies squarly on the republicans.

Considering that the majority of the proposals the democrat congress came up with was either blocked by the president or didnt recieve enough cooperation by the republicans, I really dont see how this mess is the fault of the democrats. Id accept part blame, but the vast majority are the republicans. No need to cover their asses on this mess.

Then would you agree that the vast majority of your fellow republican supporters are not real conservatives and are hypocritical? Because they voted him in as the nominee, the majority did.

Why dont you join the libertarian party? Its the only true conservative party I know of.

Tax cuts from the mouths of conservatives mean we cut your income taxes now, in return you pay more for other taxes and we invest less in america. For every investment in america, be in infrastructure or projects to create jobs, we get $1.65 in return. Tax cuts are something we have to pay back years later, and I learned that from the Reagan administration.

Its a rightwing ploy, and it doesnt take alot to figure out that the implementation of a "tax cut" only solution in a recession of this magnitute doesnt solve a thing, infact it makes it worse. Folks are going to spend their tax cuts on paying off debt, that doesnt stimulate the economy. Coporate tax cuts to employers will not get them to hire more people because tax cuts cannot account for the cost of maintaining new employees.

Wasteful spending? why is it then that under every republican administration government spending always wounds up being either comparable to that of the Democrats or more. The Bush administration spent more and grew government more than any other in past. Towards the end of Reagan administration the spending on the military and other government services increased beyond those of Carter.

The "small government tax cuts less spending" talk from republicans doesnt hold up in history.

As a note on taxes-

If you love your country, INVEST IN IT!

If you want your country to be poor, to have bad streets, to generally fail.... call for tax cuts!

Do you pay extra taxes? You can send in more than you owe, or send money if you don't owe any.

We're in this mess because Democrats cheat on their taxes.

Does anyone know why the dow is 2000 points since election day?

I do

THE GOP spent like crazy - started two wars and resided over the largest corporate giveaway in history.

You know, I was listening to Rush the other day as I sometimes do when I need to get aggravated at something and he was going off on how the Democrats were going to cut their own throats with incompetence and when they did the Republicans would rise up to power again. He further foamed at the mouth about how the Republicans would put it to the Democrats and pass legislation to bring every one of them to their knees. I do not remember the exact words, but it was classic Rush and anyone who listens to the talent on loan from Gaaaaawddd knows how he is.

Anyone who wants REAL CHANGE will NEVER vote for a Republican or Democrat for any position. State or Federal, it does not matter. A vote for Democrats or Republicans is a vote for self serving thieves, sodomites, and whore mongers. Every Democrat and Republican needs to be rooted out.

AMERICA NEEDS CITIZEN STATESMEN INSTEAD OF PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS. Having professional politicians living off the public dole while stuffing their offshore accounts with the tainted offerings of lobbyists and ignoring the will of the constituency is not good for America.

I agree Bush and the Republicans spent like drunken sailors. They should have lost Congress two years ago. However that was TWO YEARS AGO!!! The Democrats paid the last two years of Bush's Wars, awe sorry to remind everyone that Demo-socialist hands are just as bloody. And let no one forget all but four or five Democrats voted for the War with Iraq and voted for the first two years of that war until Bush started to lose his popularity. And then when the demo-socialist smelt blood, then and only then did it become, Bush lied people died. But just like every Socialist on this planet, they have to lie because the truth is their enemy.

I think it is freaken hilarious that President Obama had to bring out societal retards to get his bill passed. "I have worked at McDonalds for four and a half years and I want you to get me more", and just like the good Muppet crowd Socialist idiots are… they cheered! And then some moron on another website said people who make 35K or less pay 90% of the taxes in this country. I spit milk out of my nose when I read that blatant lie. Who ever wrote that absolute nonsense is a liar and ought to be ashamed. But knowing socialist like I do they will continue to spread that same nonsense over and over again, knowing full well, liberals are the most politically uneducated voters in the world. But the good news is, even if they say it enough times and socialist liberals believe it and this lie makes national attention, then this lie will most assuredly explode in those lying socialist faces. Other then I hate everything and I mean everything about socialism, I have nothing but love for those who are afflicted with that sickness.

Besides after this latest round, I would be willing to bet Republicans will take back control of Congress next election cycle and will be able to filibuster any bill that resembles the BS that was just passed yesterday. This last robbery of the Treasury by Socialist Liberals and Obama is going to come back and bite them in the ass, just like all that spending bit the Republicans. To say people are pissed would be the biggest understatement of this century. I would smile if it wasn’t so damn sad, you think we won't learn why this bill was passed in less then twenty four hours? And to think when this robbery package kicks in and McDonalds Boy doesn't get a better job... or even better if he does... the anti-Constitutional Socialist Democrats will have hell to pay. Over 700 billion and Obama and his socialist controlled Congress are now going to come to the nation with yet another bailout for mortgages, and more for auto makers even though over 350billion is now officially pork spending. You think we Conservative Capitalists and Moderate Capitalists are just going to sit on our hands and take this? You will be in for a rude awaking, that’s fodamnshow!

Once again, nothing but love... But will love it even more when this socialist train wreck comes to a crashing halt!
