So, how have the republicans performed for the past two terms?

Question

It's kind of an academic question, after all, doesn't the President and Vice President not attending the GOP convention say it all?

How can Senator McCain win when the leaders of his own party are so corrosive they stayed away from their own convention?

Do republicans deserve to keep the white house? Especially with Senator McCain admonishing his own party last night for falling prey to the corruption they were going to change?

Answer 1

Pointless war? Your candidate Obama doesn't think so. He's back peddling now that things are starting to look up in Iraq.

Kind of makes you wonder why Bill Clinton stayed away from Obama's convention speech, eh?

Senator McCain admitted to mistakes from his party-something the Messiah has yet to do.

They call Senator McCain McSame, yet Obama, when he wasn't voting present, voted party lines 97% compared with McCains 90%. The Democrats control the house and senate, what have they accomplished?

McCain was saying that both parties need to stop fighting so they can get the US back on track. He is one of the only senators to cross party lines to get things accomplished.

It isn't about a party deserving anything. It is about electing someone based on the issues.

Answer 2

still can't find anything substantive on McCain, Palin....or for that matter...Obama.......huh?

Answer 3

McCain has been a critic of the Bush administration for years.  McCain DOES represent a better and more effective government.

Obama, Reaid, and Pelosi spells dismal trouble.

Answer 4

as bad as pelsoi & reid

hugs!

top 1% of taxpayers, those who earn above $388,806, paid 40% of all income taxes in 2006, the highest share in at least 40 years. The top 10% in income, those earning more than $108,904, paid 71%. Barack Obama says he's going to cut taxes for those at the bottom, but that's also going to be a challenge because Americans with an income below the median paid a record low 2.9% of all income taxes, while the top 50% paid 97.1%. Perhaps he thinks half the country should pay all the taxes to support the other half.

Answer 5

Well, they doubled the National Debt and increased government spending 40%. They also deleted sections of the Bill of Rights and spied on American citizens. Let's not forget the over 4,000 Americans who died in a needless war for nothing, and the city of New Orleans they abandoned for their people to drown. In other words, they have performed poorly.

Answer 6

Hmmm...I guess they are about as suucessful as the Democrats have been in Congress. Oh wait, they haven't done anything either.

I guess I feel safe from terrorists. Since I refuse to live off government sponsored programs that depleat our tax base more than the war in Iraq, I am doing pretty good. As I have chosen to live within my means and not do the "Keep Up with Jones", I live comfortablly in a nice house That I can afford. My little truck is not a gas guzzling SUV so I feel good when I pull up to the gas pump and laught at other's $100 gas bill to my $40.

Point being...if Americans would rely upon their own resources and stop being such greedy, government dependent, egotistical, All About Me citizens...things might be a little bit more rosey.
