Wanna talk about war? Let's talk about the War on Poverty.
Are you changing the subject because you feel you cannot debate the original topic?
I wish all of you leftists would just get the hell out of the way.
Is anyone who disagrees with you a leftist? The only reason to resort to stereotyping and name calling is because you do not have facts and logic on your side.
Let us drill for oil so the price of gas comes back down, and so that we don't have to import nearly so much from the middle east and elsewhere.
Great idea. Lets also regulate the price of domestic oil so OPEC and Russia cannot continue to control the price of oil and thereby control the worlds economy. Lets guarantee a minimum price for domestic oil so the next time OPEC drops the price of oil to $8.50 per barrel our domestic producers can continue producing their wells rather than plugging them. If we had done this in 1983, we would not be here now. Instead, the Democrats pushed trough a windfall profits tax that was only paid by domestic producers. OPEC got a free pass. Sole entrepreneurs cannot compete with governments.
Let us clean up Iraq, so that our soldiers can come home.
Thats a pipe dream. Quit being nanny to the world and bring the troops home from everywhere. Start with Europe. We have propped up their economy and protected them since 1942. Enough. Let them pull their own weight. Then bring the troops home from Korea and finally from the Middle East.
And for gawds sake, quit taxing our citizens and our businesses half to death to pay for your stupid, pointless feel-good nanny programs.
So you "feel good nanny programs" for the rest of the world meet with your approval, but nanny programs for our own citizens do not? You keep changing the subject because you can not argue this point. Bushs last budget called for more tax breaks for the rich, more money for the war, and cuts in Medicare. Raising Medicare premiums and co-pays on indigent 75 year old widows so the rich will have more money and they can continue profiting from the rest of us pumping money into Iraq is obscene.
You do realize some people are getting richer off of this war dont you? They also pay a substantially smaller percentage of their income in taxes than people working for minimum wage. They control the media and do their best to tell you otherwise and you have bought their propaganda. I have noticed how you throw their terms around (e.g., socialism, nanny state, leftist). Try debating this issue without repeating their propaganda and using their terms.
