    Before I even contemplate that...could I see some financial/year end tax reports...:);):)
    And had it not been for the cash for clunkers would Chrysler or GM being to anything in today's market...and here you've been worried about their market share...nobody forced them to take the bailout...seems as though they were the ones that came a knock'n begging for a hand out!

    "SAVE ME', 'SAVE ME' or we'll fail and the entire auto industry will go down with us"...GOOD GRIEF, there's no wining with you...just all whine...want some cheese & crackers to go with that? LOL

    I suppose ths meaningless tangent is easier than accepting that while it was pleasant for a moment, this is a meaningless bump.

    50-70% of Americans are Progressives....

    Very few are Americans are progressives like me...

    SO your then Mad that the govement follows what the Majorty or even 70% of Americans want? In a Democracy?

    Also how is it that very few are progressives like me when you just sated as many as 70% of the population are?

    Its sad this simple flaw even needs to be pointed out to you.

    the dear Gipper was trying to bash Obama as Socialist and how Socialist could not ever fix a econ....my Statement was that it was a Capitalist who put the econ where it is in the first place...

    But if you want to try to argue that Bush is now not even a capitalist...go ahead...it will be nice to know

    Bush was no Capitalist. Capitalists do not believe in bailouts, subsidies, corporate welfare, or any other government interference into the markets.

    He said the political class, as in, politicians, not Americans, as in, the population at large.

    Even the great God Regan...who I know you will cry Dem Congress...as if there was no such thing as a Veto...as close as you have

    Ron Paul...he got what 2% of the Republican vote even?

    Reagan was a capitalist president with a democrat congress that he can and did work with often at cross purposes to his own inclinations.

    Unlike more recent presidents...

    Bush was a capitalist but not immune from socialism as evidenced with the Medicare Rx program. That waw a vore buying scheme pure and simple and he was also intent upon killing the dems by becoming dem lite. A stupid concept but now his, he just tried to further it. God to I wish he had not.

    Oh and there are only 20% progressives. 40% conservatives and 40% independents and many of those are leaning right.

    Name calling? How is that name calling?

    You can call me a conservative, you can call me a constitutionalist, you can call me right wing...and you would be right. I have no problem with you calling me names, but you seem to dislike being called what you are. Why?

    You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johnny or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me RayJay, or you can call me RJ... but ya doesn't hafta call me Johnson I do not care what you call me, just don't call me a slime belly, scum sucking, low life, red diaper doper baby....LIBERAL.:D

    I understand how you could say that... but it is somewhat unavoidable.

    What happens is pretty easy to see. If a thread is started pointing out any obvious improvements then those wanting the President to fail immediately start to bash to try and undermine those accomplishments. Now there are good discussion though as well. Some Conservatives like Big Rob will challenge on specific ideology points and not just repeat toxic talking points rhetoric. And you have someone I see as very moderate and probably an Independent like PLC1 that will question or possibly cast doubt on a projected outcome but is more than willing to share ideas and try and work through all the possibilities.

    On the other hand if a thread starts out... Obama the socialist baby killer... and some in here aren't far from that. Then there's little room to do anything else but become quite confrontational going into recent or even past history, Bush, Republican policies etc.

    I think you just have to skim through the threads and decide if a particular thread seems important to you.
