The Dems are nothing more than the anti-party. They don't come up with any positive ideas or plans anymore. They just react to anything the Republicans say with whining.


President Bush’s State of the Union presented a positive agenda for keeping America safe and preserving Social Security, but the Democrats have defined themselves as the party of ‘no’ in responding with obstruction and pessimism.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY): “We Will Not Allow The President To Play Retirement Roulette And Turn Social Security Into Social Insecurity.”
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) Said President Should “Forget About Strengthening Social Security Because It Will Not Happen."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Said Democrats “Are United” Against President’s Social Security Plan.
Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND): “We’ve Got To Fight On This Issue, And We’ve Got To Wage An Aggressive Fight.”
They continue to shoot theirselves in the foot. They have not learned anything in the past 10 years.

They had it for 40 years. thats why we are in the mess we are in. When the Repubs got in they uncovered money scams that were draining tax dollars into dems private accounts. Like buying 10,000 dollars worth of stamps on the whitehouse budget and returning them for cash. You don't need a stamp to mail something out of the whitehouse.

Hi Dg,Originally Posted by dg806
I have no problem with someone fixing something as long as that is what they actually are DOING and that what they DO does TRULY REPAIR something that TRULY BENEFITS ALL. I do not like someone who USES others and USES their money to cause those using to BE the only ones to realize a profit and the hell with those that actually put up the capital and are actually taking risks. To me, Social Security should be just that - SECURE and GUARANTEED for ALL involved and NEVER PUT AT ANY RISK BY ANYONE.
Even the stock market is not really interested in this basically as they feel it will not really benefit a small investor (individual accounts with less than $10,000 to start) which most people would be and it would cause a lot of trouble for the broker that would not be worth anyone's time or effort in the end.
For anyone to really be an investor in the stock market you really need at least $10,000.00 or more to begin because smaller amounts are really not helpful to anyone and bring in very little and waste a broker's time. Most people with little earnings NEED that $10,000 themselves to survive and do not have the money to gamble with in the first place. Most individuals would fit this category because they would have far less than the $10,000 to invest in a personal account. Also you have to realize that any investing in the stock market IS A RISK and IS NOT GUARANTEED. Yes you can invest in something that has historically paid ok with not much risk BUT THE RISK IS THERE JUST THE SAME. NOTHING IN THE STOCK MARKET IS GUARANTEED even historically ok investments - except that the possibility does exist you COULD LOOSE EVERYTHING you invested. Then what? When you are talking about someone's retirement income and they loose even a portion of that - THEN WHAT? WHO makes up that loss? Everyone else? How? Surely the stock market will not and certainly does not really care because it will not BE their problem.
I talked with several broker's on this and they tell me that sure it will pay them as a broker to have clients because they charge their clients for each transaction they make but the return to the investor in small investments is not a viable way to go. Brokers like people who have a lot of money to invest or at least larger amounts because they can make more money without a lot of hassle on those investments and not be "nickeled and dimed to death" with "penny investments". If a way could be figured out that people could POOL their money into ONE and invest as ONE who represents many people and that investment BE GUARANTEED A RETURN that would be something else and would be possible but in the end each person in the pool would have to split the earnings according to the amount THEY contributed to that pooled investment.
Social Security is in trouble for these reasons:
1) The govenment dips into this fund to balance its budget when they have a shortfall and more often than not never repay what they "borrowed" and certainly with no interest paid on the money borrowed. And they do this to hide the reality of what is really going on financially speaking.
2) People who enter this country - legally or otherwise - that have never contributed to Social Security have been able to draw from it. .
3) It takes MORE people working and contributing into the fund and LESS actually drawing from it to make Social Security solvent.
4) UNemployment. Those not working are not contributing. And can not even it they wanted to because they have no money for anything.
5) UNDERemployment. Those that make relatively little for the work they do contribute less because they have less to contribute.
6) People who enter this country to work many times do not pay taxes of any kind on the money they are earning here and take everything with them to their home country.
7) People are living longer. But that does not mean that Social Security could not provide for them the same as it does now. People WORKING are those that contribute to the fund and make it solvent. If enough people ARE working and paying into Social Security there is no reason why those retired can not benefit properly - they EARNED their retirement and MUST receive it to survive.
Social Security problems are just ONE problem and do not reflect the WHOLE of what REALLY IS GOING ON in the USA. People UNemployed and/or UNDERemployed IN THIS COUNTRY and not able to support themselves or their family and thus can not participate like those that are working and making a decent living wage is the root of the problems in this country. People who work IN this country and MAKE a decent living wage SPEND in this country and thus support it and everyone here. People WORKING IN THIS COUNTRY being properly compensated SUPPORT THIS COUNTRY in ALL its endeavors. There is ABSOLUTELY NOT SUBSTITUTE for this. NOTHING will ever help this country more than people IN this country EARNING a decent living wage IN THIS COUNTRY. It has been always and ALWAYS WILL BE the ONLY WAY things happen in this country.

The Democrats are fucked! Even The High Priestess of the Bra-Burners is changing her tune on abortion. Did you hear her the other day? Saying the focus should be on "preventing unwanted births"? And calling baby killing a "sad tragic choice"? http://womensissues.about.com/b/a/142064.htm Normally she's shrieking for the right to chop up little Sally and little Bobby. But now? All of a sudden she's going to be a regular Mrs Cleaver, Billy Klinton as "Ward Cleaver", and with Chastity as "The Beaver". Maybe they can get John Kerry to play Eddie Haskell again.
What happened in the last election is far more fundamental then any discussion of issue's. Most Americans don't know shit about issues, but they do know "shit" when they see it. And The Democrats, John Kerry, that elitist babbling bitch he's married to, and all these flagburning, Eastern seaboard, know it all cocksuckers are in serious trouble.
I go to work and see untold numbers of healthy people living their entire lives on the welfare tit and I ask myself, who's responsible for this? Who was it that made it the Govt.'s "aka taxpayers" job to support healthy people? Who was it that dreamt up the idea of tossing money at every social problem we have as if it alone was going to make them disappear? Who was it that started this "Great Society" load of horseshit? Who was it that ran down the US Military every time they got in office? I could go on and on, gay marriage, abortion,taxes,gun control,criminal justice,litigation.................The Democrats nowdays simply have connection to what is, and always has been, the soul of this nation.
Whats the outcome going to be? The Next Democrat candidate for President is going to be a southern, or western, shitkicker that will be, at beast neutral on abortion, against gun control, will pray every day, will be against gay marriage, will love NASCAR, be a US Vet, wont think mush of the U.N., will throw horseshoes instead of wind sale, will go to barbecues instead of opera, and wont be married to some malignant,pseudo-commie, foreign twat.

My dad is a commodity broker and a republican and says it's a damn awful idea.
Why "personal accounts"? If the issue really is that we are not getting a high enough return on our tax dollars, why not simply have the gov't invest part of the SS fund in the market on our behalf? It would certainly be MUCH cheaper in terms of fees than maintaining millions of “personal accounts”. People like my dad will be the only ones benefitting.

A friend of mine that has someone in their family that goes to the Rochester Institute of Technology (Rochester, N.

Even the Stock Market is not all that keen on the idea as it would cause a lot of paperwork for a little amount of money based on individual accounts.

Hi Robert,Originally Posted by Robert DiMaggio
The world is sucking off that supply of oil in that region. I have no idea how long they "think" that supply will last. I doubt very long given the amount consumed worldwide and on a daily basis.
Here is the key to all this : SOMEONE is MAKING A HELL OF A LOT OF MONEY from this oil (Guess WHO - NOT the Iraq people) and could NOT care LESS about the health and welfare of the world or its financial well-being. Or the environment. All they care about is their own pocket and how much they can stuff in it at the expense of everyone else - now that certainly SOUNDS REPUBLICAN to me. And I love how they brought all the "religious" people into all this mess (just like Lemmings being led to the sea) so they could get re-elected. And they act as if ONLY REPUBLICANS are "moral" people - all else have none...
We can actually blame Great Britain for all this mess because it was they that had control basically of this entire area of the world in the early 1920's and they are the people who basically created this mess in this region. They devided this area up. And the people that lived in this region and their religious beliefs really had not much to do with this division.

In spite of looking around with an open mind and a conservative perspective nothing I've found shows the money going anywhere other than to BushCo. Go figure.
Here is the part where all the Bush fans provide sourced links showing how the money is all going to the Iraqi's and not gettting diverted onto the coffers of the crooks in BushCo. Good luck.

Actually, I was just going to shit all over your source. If that's OK with you...Originally Posted by BoneCrusher
You linked to a page with three sources.
1. Links to the Sunday Herald, a "news" site with "news" items such as "Westminster sabotaged McConnell’s bid to attract immigrants" and "Fed ‘more of a threat than bin Laden’". Yeah, no left-wing agenda there. Who, by the way, creates every sentence with a mixture of "quotes" and their own opinions. Check out the first sentence, they string together that Iraq is the largest impediment to the flow of oil (embargoes) and then an opinion (not a quote) as to why this will need 'military intervention' (quotes in the original).
2. A BBC news article that says the rising gas prices benefits a gas company. Well, there's news. So, gas prices are rising because the US is getting all that Iraqi oil? Alrighty then...
3. A 404 (Page Could Not Be Found) error. Honestly, this one was the most riveting of them all...
I really like the quote:
"The only people who will benefit from the war on Iraq are the elite wealthy oil men who finance Bush's election campaigns,"
Because, as we all know, no one else who produces or sells oil around the globe is making any profit. Although, I am mystified why only the "oil elite" (in the USA, Russia, the Middle East, etc.) would be making money on the rising price of oil and not pig farmers in Ohio. No sense at all...

I had mentioned to my son that someone was bound to take a shot at that liberal POS site as a cheap way out of the task. Along came you my friend ... armed with nothing more than sarcasm.
Look here for something more ... and stop being lazy. Dig for a respone of merit, inetead of that weak ass attempt at killing a liberal site. BTW ... that site had way more than three sources. It was rather lengthy and well linked. Google news is unbiased. Tear it up ...

Nothing more than sarcam?
The site that you reccomended was complete crap. It referenced three sources, which I ripped apart. The main thrust was that the Bush Administration planned the attack on Iraq to make his "oil friends" rich by raising the price of oil. Which is additionally funny in that the other half of Angry Left belives that we did it to steal oil from Iraq, which would have led to lower oil prices and thus made his "oil friends" lose money. So which is it?
Wasn't that your point, that "BushCo" was making money off the war in Iraq? Didn't you try to back it up with a very crappy site? And you got the Smack Down.
So, how did I get "out of the task"?

You didn't even remotely pick that site apart. Stating that it is a liberal news outlet isn't picking it apart. Going to each individual source from within that site directly and going one more level deep would be a suitable job. I have to do that shit for a living unfortunately so I know all to well how rigorous a job it is. It certainly can't be done in 22 minutes.

There main thrust was a regurgitation of another site that created the first sentence, and their main thrust, from stringing together quotes from some mythical document that they never named, with opinions.
Example (supposed quotes in blue and opinions in red):
President Bush's Cabinet agreed in April 2001 that 'Iraq remains a destabilizing influence to the flow of oil to international markets from the Middle East' and because this is an unacceptable risk to the US 'military intervention' is necessary.
The portion in red is not from the supposed document. They needed to string together pieces of the "original document" to make their point. The obviously couldn't use the original for that reason. You might say something along the lines that the original document is too verbose, which would be utter bullshit. That's what ellipses are for.
"President Bush's Cabinet agreed"? Just because they received a report, doesn't mean they agreed with it. That's assumption in it purest form.

I just wonder what you people are going to do when you find that history is going to prove Bush right? I know your personal,petty politics are all very important to you but the fact remains that this country is going to remain in extreme danger as long as these terrorist spewing shitholes continue to squalor in oppression and tyranny, as long as the Islamic world continues to grind out angry disconnected young men, and as long as the free world continues to do business with these tyrannical regimes and allows them to develop WMDs.Originally Posted by Robert DiMaggio
Forget your fucking oil, your fucking social security, fucking Haliburton, the fucking deficit, and try and minimize your convoluted fucking views on a world most of you have never been out in and don't understand. Bandaid have you ever lived in a country where a woman has to go out draped in a fucking blanket, has no legal rights, no right to work,drive, and if she bitches to her husband he can kill her and no-one will ask any questions? How many of you have every lived in these Islamic shitholes that give their citizens no human rights, no voting rights, damn few legal rights, where the police and military can do any damn thing they want, and the only political viewpoints your allowed to express is against the Dog-Jew and their American masters.
And heres a little tid-bit of information for some of you Einsteins, the Iraqi people are making plenty of money from their oil. Or did you think all thats happening there is bombings? They are making Much more then trickled down from Saddams regime, after he spent untold billions building an army of conquest. His wars of empire left Iraq an economic shambles, millions dead, he obstructed UN inspectors for years and years, hid his WMDs for a decade, tried to assassinate a visiting ex-US president. And with the help of the wretched UN, and that cocksucker Koffis kid, developed an illegal/underground economy selling oil in the UN oil program, again depriving his people of the money, trying to reconstitute his military.
YaKnow I didn't need that fat cunt Michael Moore to tell me that corporations make a lot of money from wars. Thats the way its been since apes started swinging sticks, its the way its always been under any Govt. type thats ever existed. In fact, for that matter, ever since the creation of film there have been fat cunts making a lot of money ,off of making films ,of corporations making money off of wars. Well heres another little "film clip" for you, without a steady flow of oil everything in your comfortable little lives would come crashing down. Just like a game set of dominoes, the entire economy would implode. And Michael Moore would lose most of his money, wouldn't be able to move his fat ass in his Hummer, and couldn't afford to eat the calories that keeps his yap going.
None of this is rocket science people. History is a guide towards what we must do in the future. And history has shown that free peoples cannot live in peace with such tyranny's. Once Iran has the bomb, which will be soon, they will think they hold the keys to the gas pumps. Control of that waterway is control of most of the world. And certainly means control of the western Democracies. The continued exportation of Wahhabi Islam will always be a dagger at our hearts. Fundamentalist Islamic Terrorism must be crushed without mercy or it will surely,eventually, secure WMDs to use against us. North Korea must be dealt with sooner or later, "and it better be sooner."
Everyone of these threatening Tyrrany's have to go. No matter what we do be prepared for more casualties,"Tho Im sure your politics,price of gas, and retirements are more important to you".

It IS PERSPECTIVES that can give you a TOTAL picture of what REALLY IS HAPPENING - IF - you have an open mind, are objective, and consider ALL information from ALL sources ALL the time.
The reason you think the way you do and have the opinions you have is directly because of your personal lack and / or desire to SEE things from ALL sides. So YOU then are the ONE that closes the door on your learning accurately and honestly and completely about anything. It sounds as if you like being this way and that anything anyone else has to say does not matter to you because you want the "world" YOUR WAY ONLY.
