This kind of stuff caused the Republicans in part to lose the last election. I see you are working on losing the next one as well. In Response to Four More Unsettling Years: http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/2012/11/07/napolitano-four-more-years/?subscriber=1 Posted by gymdandee |

In Response to Four More Unsettling Years : Posted by creppelrm It doesn't matter about the next election!!! The only thing good about Obama having another 4 years is according to the Mayan Calendar 'Doomsday' is Dec. 2012!

Yes intersan, The Bush tax cuts, wars and unrestricred Wall Street has caused the situation we are in today. But you may have a little trouble convincing people who are welcoming the Mayan Calender Dooms Day Prediction which is supposed to happen in December. In Response to Re: Four More Unsettling Years: Under Romney, we would have had trillions more in tax cuts, that caused this economic disaster. We had a surplus under Clinton, but we saw how the Bush spending and tax cuts drove us into a ditch. we'd have more military spending and wars that have nearly bankrupted us. Who would give tax cuts during a decade of wars? Romney would as he would do the same that Bush did. At the same time, he'd be setting more jobs to Central and South America for his new free trade agreements. Posted by intersan |

(We were supposed to have THE END some time in the spring but it was postponed...) but we have over 16 trillion in debt and every year we are short over a trillion. Someone calculated that with 20 trillion in debt we will be BANKRUPT. fun times ahead! |

The obama deficit was not caused by tax cuts enacted by Bush.. It was caused by a $Trillion "stimulus" that went to union supporters of obama. There were no "shovel ready" jobs created. $90B went to "clean energy" ccompanies that went belly up (Solyndra, A123 etc). Amd finally the way to reduce deficits is to have more jobholders, who pay taxes. Obama's policies discouraged job formation.

OK Labrat, The Iraq War and the Trillions of dollars lost in Tax Revenue from the Bush Tax Cuts is all Obama's fault., as well as the sub - prime crises, Wall Street melt down, etc, etc, etc. None of it is Bush's fault. The John Stewart Show mentions what mountain this opinion comes from. Why doesn't any of the non - partisan sources agree with your opinion ?
