We all know which party is the contributor to charity. While Republicans donate to charity in amounts unheard of in the world, Democrats only like to spend other peoples money. While Obama made charitable contributions in the 6% range, Biden was in the 2% range. It's a do as I say, not as I do thing.
They're good at spending other people's money, not their own.
The GOP gang members also have no problem spending our stolen wages. I have seen zero evidence that either side is ready to cut their corporate or social welfare spending programs. I'd rather we focus on how much is being stolen from us and wasted..instead of worrying about how much people give to charity.
Not the point of my comment. Since you make the same comment in every post, why not just include it in your signature, then you could just make a blank post on each thread.
There is an ignore feature on this board...feel free to use it.
I guess putting up with your nonsense about the birth certificate for months does not count for repeated postings....hypocrite.
If you think the birth certificate thing is fringe, your world view is completely off the chart. Atheism, Narcissism and Anarchy. Back at ya ...hypocrite.
I dunno guy, you did start the whole birther thing as far as this message board is concerned. It still pops up every now and again.
But can't we agree that it is partly true that the GOP hasn't done anything to cut spending on the federal level. They might talk about cutting everything now because its the flavor of the day, but they are far from angels. It would benefit all citizens if both parties stood up and announced their mistakes and tried to start over from a new slate. But I truly think that they are both perfect and have done nothing wrong.
This...+1....but..
NM...Don't waste your time trying convince NeoCon conspiracy theorists to admit that that the GOP is in ANY way responsible for the damn mess we are now. They have their blinders shut so tight that blood flow to the brain has been slowed to that of a stroke patient.
Don't you know that...."Those damn liberals are responsible for everything wrong with America":lmfao:

RE: Obama: “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money”
I am so tired of partisan bickering. No matter what happens, republicans do nothing but blame democrats, and democrats do nothing but blame republicans. Things get worse, and there are no solutions. We're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Bottom line: Neither side has a clue.

If it somehow becomes "cool" to break from your party, and actually move to get something positive done for the country. We might start making our way back to our former place as the "city upon a hill."
If not. We had all better pray that one party, in complete power, will be able to overcome all of its special interests, and big-money donors, and do the right thing for the American people. I'm not holding my breath for that.

You don't think I see your frustration? I do. I live with that frustration. I see my Republic dying. Our so called leaders are all corrupt. The system has been corrupted. Our founding fathers warned us against this exact type of corruption. They knew they needed a populace concerned about limiting the government. What we have today, is a populace unconcerned about anything, watered down by outsiders without any commitment to the country. The founders thought we would elect leaders based on their commitment to the constitution, commitment to the people they represented. Now, that oath of office means nothing, commitment to the people means nothing. The constitution means nothing. It's all about power and money. And as the ultimate insult to the constitution and all of us, a president has been elected who may not even be eligible under that constitution. It is only fitting, we suffer such a disgrace. Every section and article of the constitution has been subverted. Lawyered. I feel it. It will take an effort unseen in our time to overcome this momentum of corruption. I do not see anything, any group, or anyone out there capable of the task. There is no plan, no road map to help up out of the wilderness of corruption. We will have to start from scratch. Do we have it in us? I don't know. We have become so splintered. So divided. I cannot even speak of what we are leaving for our offspring. I feel helpless.

I pretty much agree....We have crossed our Rubicon. I fear our little experiment is approaching it's end. Prepare for the worst.

The three of us differ about some things, but not this.
