I like how all you republicans sure like cry foul when the media is so unfair to your poor party. it seems strange to hear so many whines about an op-ed from a guy that’s always been a bit more liberal (Littwin looks like a hippy) but rush Limbaugh can be on the radio in every major city spitting outright lies and hate?? he reaches millions everyday to talk nonsense while most cities have only one or no solid liberal radio outlets. and the media is biased towards the left? I’m not seeing it, sorry.
The top brass in the republican party is looking to “Joe the Plummer” and rush Limbaugh to show them the way, and obviously its working. they are like monkeys that are handed an agenda and informed not to stray from the path, or else! do any of you realize that that thanks to your beloved bush administration, your grandkids “grandkids” are already in debt up to their eyeballs, and it was hardly to work of democrats that have this country on the brink of collapse. and since when did the republican party all of sudden decide it wanted to be the party of fiscal responsibility again anyway? Bush leaves so now its time to follow the word of someone new. Whatever happened to being free thinkers? Whatever happened to being an elected official that is voted by the people to serve the people? How many $500 billion bills did a republican run government vote for in order to build a country we destroyed in the name of security? its fine to spend and spend, only as long as its for war, war, war. is that right?

Lets Think...
yes, lets think on it. why was the media so harsh on G.W. bush and why do they love Obama? Hmmm, maybe its partly due to Obama only being president for 3 weeks while bush had 8 years to prove he only got worse with time. he started a war ill prepared. he threw money to contractors that didn’t do what they were contracted to do. KBR has literally wasted BILLIONS of our tax dollars, so how come there is not a backlash from the right to make them accountable? why have KBR and Halliburton not been punished? Cause thanks to bush, cronyism is alive and well in the Republican Party. When you put unqualified friends into positions that demand more than good connections, the result is what you read in the news everyday, corruption and an inability to accomplish anything for the american people.
obama and the democrats are trying to help the country. there is an urgency to his message because its pretty obvious that sitting back and waiting for the market to correct itself with tax cuts is just not going to happen. obama readily admits that there are no guarantees this will work out perfectly, but actions do speak louder than words, and unfortunately, words and rhetoric are really the only things republicans are offering up.

denverrep,
everything you said...just stupid.
two years ago things were going great because we were all playing with monopoly money. it took bush and his sheep congress only eight years to bleed away money from the middle-class and pump it into the pockets of the fat cats. you think drug CEO's lose money with our health care system? what about companies like blackwater that grew 110% since the start of the war in iraq. you think the CEO over there is worried about money?
it blows me away how pessimistic the attitude about obama is. the guy inherits a sh*t storm of bad news just 3 weeks ago, and people on here are talking like he is already a failure. a failure, except he has already accomplished more in less than a month than bush did the entire time prior to 9-11. say you are starting a job on monday morning, and you have been hired to solve all the companies problems. the problems being a huge financial mess, employees losing faith in management, huge salary gaps from employee to big man. major problems that took years to create, but you only get a month to fix it all-- now go! i dont think there is anyone that can do that is such a time frame.
some of the criticism is ridiculous.
we are so far into the hole that most of us are going to be paying this debt off till the day we die. its probably going to be years before we even start to actually pay for for this stimulus. but the republicans just cannot have more spending!
also, it seems there are smart guys on here, explain this to me, please? while fighting two wars, and also having nearly 3 million less people paying taxes due to unemployment, how is only cutting taxes going to solve our problems?
