The who?

A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.


Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we're seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummets;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.


America voted for change in 2006, and we got it alright!

I think maybe there is a misunderstanding here. I'll translate. I said that the Democrats are painting a big fucking target on our collective asses and inviting the rest of the world over for marksmanship training.

Mine was just a general shot at Democrats, I didn't misinterpret you, nor was it a shot at you.

Seems the misunderstanding was on my part. It was the "The who?" part that threw me. It didn't seem to match the tone of the rest of your post so I was a little confused.
We're all good now.

Point out some specific actions and/or laws passed by the Democratic Congress (and subsequently signed into law by the sitting Republican President) that lead to any or all six of your points and I might consider engaging you.

Otherwise, I'm not a democrat and feel no obligation to defend them. Especially the group in question.

Here's a word of advice for you, though; do your homework, because your above logic is severely flawed.

Just saying, is all.

It's not really sound to flatly compare economic conditions to current legislators or the present administration, you really need to review every variable within the prior decade to paint the right picture.

I only eat half of my McDonalds before throwing it away. But before I do I make a prayer asking Jesus to make sure more African's starve.

Then I punch a baby.


Parading land-mine victims in a pageant to reward one as a winner rather than celebrating the fact that ALL of them came through it alive with any sort of dignity. You're right, let's applaud that.

And it's bad enough that if we go anywhere to do any sort of help for a country outside of our own, that bleeding heart liberals whine about us being imperialist and that we should just mind our own business.

Quantify your reasoning or don't fall back on the highly Democratic "you're just wrong because you are" logic heh.

Not that he's right, but before you go telling him to prove something you should make sure you don't make the same error of stating something without proof, i.e. his logic being flawed, heh.
