If you think it’s all about the “Economy”, think again.

[Mad Scientist]

Seeing the community change the way it has is frightening to many older Republicans.

10% unemployment is frightening to most people. Deficits as far as the eye can see are frightening.

The Democrats control The House, Senate and Presidency yet do nothing but conduct power grabs for themselves and blame Bush for it. Americans now realize what a huge mistake Obama is.

The only hope for your party is that when the Republicans take back the House and Senate that they go wobbly.

It's out of your hands now and you can't handle it. All you have now is personal racial attacks. "Best and Brightest huh?".

 

[Zoom-boing]

Oooh! It can't be about the economy or policy or anything substantive, it must be because they're ignorant racists!

Seriously? Are you really that simple?

Remember, calling them racists doesn't make it so...

We want OUR country back! What do you think that means?

It's not "we want OUR country back", it's "we want our COUNTRY back". Meaning "we want our country back to less government involvement in our lives". Do you seriously not get that?

We mean the way the the government was origianlly intended to be. Unobtrusive and limited. That is the way the country once was. THAT is what we mean by we want our country back.

Pre civil War?

I can't speak for everyone but I'll go out on a limb and say that none of here have any first hand knowledge of that era.

Well that was pretty much the era that federalization of the USA really kicked into gear.

And when was that?

When we didn't have mandated health insurance, when trying to shove cap and trade down our throats, and yes when we didn't have such a large deficit.....even under Bush.

 

[uscitizen]

Whew, I can see your point, And I was foolish enough to think that we had other problems.

So I guess they're talking like mid 18th century?

That must have been a swell time. Cripes, they didn't even have flush toilets back then.

[*]We is an inclusive word but you seem to be exclusive. Since you say that I am not one of your WE's and I am an American what does that make you?

 

[KissMy]

On the day that rdrool can actually back up even one of his claims, I'll pay some attention... but, as usual, rdeal's idea of 'politics' is nothing more than a flame.... and not a very good one. You're becoming a parody of yourself, drooler boy.

Actions speak louder than words. I only watch the actions of the Right Wing and comment on what is plain for everyone else watching. Sorry, don't blame the messenger. Take a look at the message.

You only watch the actions of the Right Wing through the lens of MSNBC. I have not seen your stupid ass at any TEA Parties. You are nothing but a racist hack!

The largest percent of the economy is Small Businesses and this administration has done major damage to Small Business favoring rich bankers, big business, government & union workers. Small Business Are Getting Significantly Worse! Many Small Business Owners do not get unemployment & if they are not making a profit then tax incentives are not going to do it for them. Obama has unleashed the IRS Healthcare Tax police on them forcing even unprofitable business to pay huge fines & do mountains of paperwork.

Democrats have screwed us & they are gone in 55 days!

When I hear that, I wonder what era they want to go back to.

What is their idealized version of their country?

I notice a trend with the left.... whenever they can't respond to genuine, proven, factual statements... they move the discussion to the standard "what country is it they want to go back to. It has always been a strawman and it continues to be a strawman. No one, not one solitary person have I heard say we want to return to some bygone day. We want the country back... not to take it back in time. Be accurate or get another game. Because you lost this one.

But we had slaves to empty the bedpans.
None of those silly labor laws and socialistic crap like that.

That's bullshit!

When they say they want their country back, they're implying that they remember a better time.

When was that?

C'mon, this is the third time I've asked this simple question. Surely you have some idea of when it was better.

And if you can't anwer that, just say "I don't know."

 

[uscitizen]

It just had to be better!!!!!!
Than when a Demoncrat is president.

If your not in agreement with the post which you were referring to when asking "Who is we?" It must not be you.....your good with this administration, I on the other hand am not and am all for taking our country back.

PS. What with the red posts. Mods use that color when they are doing official moderating. Are you a wannabe ?

I answered that for you, Clean, previously. It was a better time....I can't believe you would think that we have reached the pinnacle under this president.

I don't buy into rdean's OP (in fact, I think its really silly), but Mr.Clean is asking a legitimate question:

When you say "We Want Our Country Back!" it implies that:

1. At one point you felt you "had" your country.
2. Someone took it from you.

Number 1 up there leads to a very specific question: When was the last time you "had" your country? It isn't a strawman.

Number 2 is also very valid, as it tends to tell weed out the partisan hacks from the principled voters.
