When W. took office, the government was on its way to paying off the national debt. war in Iraq, the biggest new health program since the 1960s, a Wall Street bailout and a raft of spending increases wiped away the surpluses, creating a $400 billion deficit by Bush's last year in office.

MOST Modern day Republicans are no more fiscally conservative than the average Democrat. The ONLY difference is what they waist the money on. Republicans who are serious about smaller less intrusive government MUST look else where for the time being.

Check your facts.
The democrats set up the policies that lead to the sub-prime fiasco and then used tax payers money to bail out their friend that owned the banks.
banks are only second to trial lawyers in donations to the democratic party.
The Clinton's went into office worth less the one $million when they left office they had a net worth of about $100 million. ( the Chinese government bought 90% of Hillary's book, wonder why?)
Bush left office no better off then when he came in.
Obama's net worth has already increased by 20 million since he has been in office. what do you want to bet that he will exceed the Clintons before he leaves office.
No wonder he tolerates the Afghanistan government's corruption.

Well said!

his golf cart runs on fossil fuels, in more ways than one.

his tanning habit has created a means by wich on speck snookie could be a politician.and with the lack of scritiny being applied by certain memebers of the electorate now a days, it is a possibility.thats a big negative to me.senetaor snookie

We have seen that "Trickle Down Economics" DOES NOT WORK... TWICE now. There is NO TRICKLE in Repugnant "Trickle Down Economics. That is the first Repugnant and Tea Bagger LIE that needs be stopped.

The second Repugnant and Tea Bagger LIE that needs be stopped is the one where they say it is the President's Administration who created the 13 Trillion Dollar Debt. It was the last Repugnant administration that created it, and Repugs and TBs are projecting their own misdeeds onto their opponents. Actually the TBs are just misguided dupes of International Corporate and Special Interests vying for control of OUR Government.

It is the 59% of OUR nation's budget dedicated to violence, aggression, and military might that protects International Corporate and Special Interest's wealth and power that has put US Citizens in dept, while the "General Welfare" promised by OUR Constitution is neglected and maligned. It is the flow of "Petro Dollars" to Foreign Entities like BP and the Arab Emirates that do not have OUR best interests at heart, and the Foreign Financing (CHINA!?) that pays for OUR addiction to OIL that has created US Citizen's debt. These Foreign Entities are intent upon stealing democracy and the wealth of the nation from US Citizens. Why would anyone with a modicum of intelligence buy into Repugnant and Tea Bagger LIES?

There are so many opportunities for OUR country and US Citizens to prosper, if we STOP LISTENING to International Corporate and Special Interest LIES!

Claims that global climate change is not man made, when man quite clearly started the ball rolling, are LIES that Repugs, TBs, and International Corporate Interests tell themselves so that they feel better about keeping the self-destructive status quo in control of world governments, and the world economy. They are the ones that claim OUR addiction to fossil fuels is good and essential for OUR survival, when in reality it is THEIR wealth, power, and survival they are attempting to guarantee at OUR expense.

Alternatives to the centralized control of energy resources are available now. Alternatives that serve ALL US Citizens, not just the few. These Alternatives offer every US Citizen a new opportunity to prosper, and protects Earth's environment while providing that opportunity for prosperity. Alternatives to the centralized control of world governments by International Corporate and Special Interests exists now. Do not let them be destroyed by the LIES that Fear and Greed tell!

Preach it! amen and amen again.

How old are you, 13?

Why aren't you showing ugly pictures of the fascist figureheads McConnell and Bonerhead? You are the abomination you claim others are. Look in the mirror dude.

If that were true, what are you doing here? another troll plant?

Obviously you read it. If you read it, and feel that you have to add your two cents to the pot, then you must think that what those twelve people have to offer is pretty effective and important, despite what you say. The old phrase "deeds speak louder than words" seems to apply here.

Ya got that right.

Maybe his tears contain tanning solution? haha

i think they do, just by basic physiology

Well in Christine O'donnell's defense at least Satanists don't masturbate!!!! *sarcastically*

They summon Satan for a little foreplay?

Wait I think I have seen this lady..............she said something about lying is not respecting reality. So one of the people in the show ask her a hypothetical question,"If you were hiding jews in your home during WW2, and a Nazi soldier comes to your house and asks if there are Jews in your house, wouldn't you lie?"..In reply she said that god would show her a way...is she that dumb??

Witch family values are what O'Donnell supports. Picnics on Satanic Alters sounds like a Witch Family value to me.

Satanists are taking over the Asylum called the Evangelical Christian Right....HAHAHAHAHAHA

I think you are wearing blinders. Have any of us ever been timid in criticizing Obama... NO!!!

You need to provide proof when you make these types of Radical accusations.

The criticisms of Obama on here are few and far between. I am not talking about from the likes of Crystalman.

He didn't start the war which got us into this BS mess.

What exactly does this have to do with extending the Patriot Act, MURDERING American Citizens suspected of being Terrorists WITHOUT trials, and illegally searching American Citizens laptops at border entry's points WITHOUT warrants or probable cause?

Those Who Would Sacrifice Liberty for Security Deserve Neither, and will soon loose both!

Proof of what? That Obama is a threat to our Civil Liberty's or that the average poster on here is about as likely to point out the wrong doings of Obama as Limbaugh was to point out the wrongdoings of W.?

It could be one of the reasons you're not hearing any criticism of Obama is because this post is about Boehner, not Obama. I think you're so anxious to attack Obama it doesn't matter what the post is about.

how is he a threat to our civil liberties? That's the kind of comment that needs proof.

as for criticizing republicans. They're so dispicable and a heap or hypocrites. Yes dems are also filled with their share of bull, but only a fraction of the reps. Also, when the hannitys of the world accuse dems of something, that's all it is~ an accusation and then fox news gins it up for a week and it's all of a sudden news. But when someone in the GOP does something hypocrital there's proof. All the networks, websites, newspapers all have copies of previous statements, there is footage of the repubs lying, like they don't pay attention to how often they lie or something... They're almost all disgusting human beings.

Agreed. We've all criticized Obama. 100% of us maybe.

We agree with him more than we do Boehner. That's why it's called "Liberalism". Sure he's too centered, but it's slim pickings.

That's a good point.

@Radical_Centrist
Post something about Obama not gunning for Universal health care and letting the public option slip away and we'll join you in bashing Obama.

I was not inferring that no one criticizes Obama on here. Jubal for example happens to be one of the more even handed commentors. I understand who owns Current so I am not surprised, but I am amused. I especially love when there is a thread about how biased some right wing rag is to Democrats.

I would suggest if you are willing to trade Civil Liberties for Universal Health care that you move to Cuba. Truth be told for a Third world country they have one of the best Medical Systems in the World.

I agree with Adolph Hitler on a few points as well. That does not mean I would sing his praises because he got a few things right. The fact that Obama is better than W. here and there does not mean he is good or great in general. Liberals have been sold a bill of goods and you have bought it hook line and sinker.

My point was you RARELY see posts on here about Obama unless they are drooling about how great he is. I just thought this was as good a post as any to point my observation out.

So you come to a post about John Boehner and bitch that you never see posts about Obama? Interesting logic.

I was going to do it under the article titled "Colondra Hamilton arrested for masturbating while driving" I just thought this one was slightly more apropo.

so why don't you go somewhere where your life and values will be less in danger and more appreciated?

Why frequent a right wing version of Current? I find Glen Beck as repugnant as Obama.

I firmly believe that labels of any kind are trapping us. Democrats and republicans are equally as stupid and evil. People here criticize Obama all the time, including myself.

Obama is just a little right of center. He is not a liberal progressive by any long shot. And worse yet......DEFINITELY NOT A SOCIALIST COMMUNIST ISLAMOFASCIST ANITCHRIST!!

fer sher

you are an idealouge with out a home huh?
beating on israel keeps you left.
defending republicans keeps you right.
wow you are a radical centrist

or congo,or hellnwait,or any of the other myriad of poor souls who find fault where none exists (im not saying obama is flawless, but settling for weak accusations is sad) are on a constant quest to unvai obamas ills.
just like jj, if you dont care for the content on here either leave, or step up and do it.

ANITCHRIST!! Maybe? LOL

Israel is starting to catch hell from the left and the right. I think our financial subsidizing of their war crimes in Palestine is coming to an end in the near future. The only republican I can think of defending on here is Ron Paul and in truth he needs no defending.

If you buy into the bullshit that "ALL" Democrats are great and "ALL" Republicans are horrible then no fault exists on Current. I would have to say that mentality exists in reverse on most right wing blogs as well, so I guess no fault their either.

Democrats like Claude Pepper & Dennis Kucinich are GREAT Demoncrats like Obama and Pololsi are asses! Republicans like Ron Paul are great Republithugs like W. & Dick Cheney are DICKS!

israel has been catching hell from the left for as long as i have been alive, this is sop for them.
the republicans are absurdly pro israel to a rediculous level, as most of thier policies are at rediculous levels.

if you think we are cutting off the guys who manufacture our ammunition for our military, you are in for some severe dissapointment.

never claimed either, but in general terms democrats good republicans bad.
in two years it could be the opposite, but its just opinions and assholes.everyone has got one and thinks the other guys stinks.

When I say the right is starting to give Israel hell as well I am talking about the RIGHT right. Not the NeoCon phonies who lick Netanyahu balls every chance they get. We were manufacturing our own Ammo LONG before there was a State of Israel and I am guessing we could do it again if we had to.

oh the right right, not the right right right who are full out klansman.they matter as much as the peta vote matters to the left.angry extrimist freaks, nothing new there.

im not saying we cant manufacture our own ammo, despite manufacturing jobs somehow never making thier way back here.i use that example as indicitive of the nature of our relationship with israel.china making our mardi gras beads doesnt mean we have anything more than a business relationship with them. but when you farm out the means by wich we defend ourselves to a foriegn power i think that bond is pretty tight.outside of one of these nations giving the other the finger, that relationship isnt ending anytime soon.

Hey thanks for that Wayseeker...I don't k now what happened.
