Give me a break jill.. the DEMs are only worried about that shit too... they are not concerned about the country... as evidenced by what they are trying to pass... it is about control
Alternatives have been offered... legit ones... but as stated, the DEMs want power and bigger government controls... and ones like you buy into it hook, line and sinker... and you refuse to look at and acknowledge the many things that HELPED us to be where we are economically... and you refuse to admit that #1 that it is not all government's fault and #2 that more government meddling and power is not the answer
don't shoot the messenger....
as far as I can tell, they've offered nothing beyond what screwed everything up for the last eight years. even people like pat buchanan acknowledge that.
I don't believe it's "government's fault"... I do believe that it is largely (though not solely) the fault of the incompetents who ran the government for the last eight years.
Pat Buchannan is one of the most astute observers of our society that is still on TV.
Like you Jill, I used to think the man was a goosestepping brownshirt.
Then I started reading his books.
He's not.
He is, however, an overt and unapologetic supporter of Western culture and a nationalistic American.
That is often interpeted as racist especially by political competitors seeking to prevent his POV from becoming understood.
It is VERY EASY to parce out a sentence or paragraph from a complex issue which is nuanced, and make your target sound like something other than he really is.
That is, what I believe the Republicans did to Pat when he was running for POTUS.
Since he was questioning the sense of our unqulified support for Isreal, he set himself up to be easily mischaracterized as a NAZI.
I don't think he's a NAZI at ALL.
I don't think he's an anitSemite, either.
Not based on my reading of his books thus far, at least.

Bummer they don't want to fix the mess they made. But it does explain why the wingnuts have been so desperately spewing:
Down Approval Numbers For Dems
GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry, a key player in helping craft the Republican message, has offered an unusually blunt description of the Republican strategy right now.
McHenrys description is buried in this new article from National Journal (sub. only):
We will lose on legislation. But we will win the message war every day, and every week, until November 2010, said Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., an outspoken conservative who has participated on the GOP message teams. Our goal is to bring down approval numbers for [Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and for House Democrats. That will take repetition. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
McHenrys spokesperson, Brock McCleary, tells me his boss is standing by the quote.
McHenrys description of his partys goal to bring down approval numbers for Nancy Pelosi and House Dems is being much talked about today among Congressional Dems. Its likely that Dems will grab on to the quote today to bolster their charge that Congressional Republicans arent interested in playing a constructive role in governing and see their hope for political revival in the eventual failure of the Democratic majoritys policies.

Is that similar to the Dems focusing on Rush Limbaugh to divert people's attention from the policies they are trying to enact?
Sorry, Dave...I can't take you seriously when you say to repeal a law that forces banks to lend money. Such a law doesn't exist.
Where is the law that forces banks to loan money?Sorry, Dave...I can't take you seriously when you say to repeal a law that forces banks to lend money. Such a law doesn't exist.

That statement deserves some clarification. Specifically, what issues do you find his POV objectionable, Jill?Actually, I disagree with Pat Buchanan on almost everything.
But he's brilliant and I love listening to him.
Well he's no Bill Buckely or Noam Chomsky, but he's damned smart.
He's an incredible political strategist and the GOP would do well to listen to him at least strategically.
Pray they don't, if you're a Democratic partisan.
I was once given the honor of responding to him in an OpEd when Eric Breindel was editor of the NY Post (before it was Murdoch's rag).
Cool! About what issue?
One of my guilty pleasures is watching him on Scarborough's show or debating Rachel Maddow.
Didn't see it.
I don't have any comments on his mid-east positions except to say his motivations are his own and I'm trying to figure out where I said he's a nazi
Oh, you didn't...his own party pinned that false charge on him.
It was to that general charge to which I was responding.
If I seemed like teaching my grandmother to suck eggs, blame it on my enthusiastic defence of somebody whose character, I think, has been very unjustly besmirched.

WRONG AGAINPersonally I think it was a poor statement and stance to have
The goal should be to show that as conservatives they will not support these shit policies whatsoever.. and that when they fail, that they would have the track record of being against these stupid things all along
Approval numbers don't mean shit.. and why this guy would focus on that is beyond me
They are focused on approval numbers because that is what speaks to the 2010 midterm elections. They don't care about this country....
and they may not support Obama's policies, but they haven't offered any alternatives aside from the ones that led to this mess in the first place.
The GOP isn't conservative... they are reactionaries and have been for at least the last ten to twelve years, if not longer.
Jillian is a hypocriteBummer they don't want to fix the mess they made. But it does explain why the wingnuts have been so desperately spewing:

Not to mention Carville and Begala's last big effort to bring down GWB's approval ratings when they were too high for the DNC. Jillian can say all she wants about it being "just the GOP" but I rec'd the emails from the DNC about the last admin, and how voters needed to take action to make sure GWB's approval number shrank. This is all a bunch of "do as I say,not as I do" crapola..

Just imagine, the Republicans want Democrats to lose! How unpatriotic. Gag me.
On the other hand, those not so biased are very concerned about the spending from the past administration and the rapid increase of the same by the current.
