[aturnham]

[lvstephanie]

that AMERICANS ARE JUST A BUNCH OF FLIP-FLOP, FICKLED, SPOILED BRATS THAT ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH TURN COATS. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THE REPUBLICANS WILL DO A BETTER JOB SINCE THEY WERE THE  REASON WHY WE ARE IN THIS ECONOMICAL *bleep* HOLE IN THE FIRST PLACE? REMEMBER?!!!!

NON-VOTERS.....I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOUR CHOICE, GUESS WHAT, YOU JUST PUT THE REPUBLICANS BACK INTO THE HOUSE!!!! MORONS!!!! 

THOSE WHO CHOSE REPUBLICAN, I HOPE YOU WILL BE HAPPY WHEN WE LOSE OUR SS, & ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT HELP. DON'T BE CRYING WHEN ANOTHER KATRINA COMES AROUND, TERRIER ATTACKS, MEDICAL SERVICES, ROAD & PUBLIC SERVICES, WATER TREATMENT SERVICES, FOOD REGULATIONS....ETC....ANYTHING THAT GOVERNMENT MANAGES. DON'T EXPECT ANY HELP FROM YOUR GOVERNMENT B/C YOU JUST VOTED IT OUT WITH YOUR CHOICE. HOPE YOU LIKE LIVING LIKE YOUR BACK IN THE DARK AGES OR IN THE WOODS!!! IF ANYTHING YOU'VE JUST MADE AN *bleep* OF YOURSELF!
 


NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY OTHER PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES CALL US.............

STUPID AMERICANS!!!!!!

I wouldn't fret too much... Republicans only took control of the house; the Democrats are still in control of both the Senate as well as the Presidency. Thus the "good things" Obama has rammed down our throat enacted will probably never get repealed. Obama can continue to go with his agenda. And heck most of the stuff he already enacted aren't slated to affect the country until a few years down the road. (Oh and BTW, I don't plan on getting my SS, no matter who's in office... I'm too young now and it'll be all gone by the time I retire.)

I'm so glad the Fed is on our side... In a few short hours, they are thinking of pumping some money into the economy to monetize the debit... Too bad the Republicans didn't win both houses... Then when the inflation hits (that this little scheme will cause) and gas prices start increasing, Obama won't be able to put the blame on the "enemies" (ie the Republicans) and the "evil" oil companies.  

[mattymatt79]

Just because they plan on magically creating 500 billion to a trillion dollars out of no where doesn't mean it won't cause inflation. Well, according to Bernake and Geitner and the rest of the wallstreet cronies cabinet members that control our fiat currency.

[JessieKateRose]

  TERRIER ATTACKS,

No I think were called stupid Americans, because were worried about "TERRIER attacks", when anyone with common since knows we need to be worried about the poodle attacks.

Thank you. That gave me such a good laugh.

I'm surprised you didn't break out the race card as well, I mean your post looked like it had so much potential! You really dropped the ball on that one.
You ramped up really well, and the typing in all caps really shows how upset you are, nice job with that, you really convinced the reader to take look thoughtfully at your point. You got the blame Bush thing down well, but next time to really get it done, throw in a "racist" or "bigot" or something along those lines, it'll really get your point across.

The woods comment had me wondering, I mean since 2008, since your chosen one got in office with all of his wallstreet friends that he placed in his cabinet (by the way, they're the ones who really screwed us) are you implying that we're going to living in the woods or are we going to be making log cabins. We really need to know! Do I go out and start buying up lumber to build it? I mean dark ages, I guess we're all going to lose such things like indoor plumbing, I hope you have a good water treatment plan, could you clue me in on that? You seem to be such a pinacle of intelligence and well thoughtout posts you probably have the ability of telling me what I'm supposed to do.

Oh I have so many questions! Should I start getting more ammunition for my guns or do I turn them over to the local authorities? They seem to have my best interest in mind, with their relentless tazering of old people and unconstitutional speed traps, I'm sure they must know what's going on. Please help!

All kidding aside, you're an absolute idiot if you think we're going to the dark ages over a congressional election. 2006 and 2008 the same damn thing happened and we're still here. Are you worried that unemployment benefits won't be extended yet again past their 99 weeks they already are? Are you worried that the idiots in the cabinet, which all worked on wallstreet before being in the cabinet in the first place are going to take more money away from you?
Oh and one last thing... I don't want any damn help from my government, I actually want them less involved with my personal life and liberties. I want them as far as freaking away from me and my family as damn possible. I don't want their handouts, I'd rather; I know this may come as a shocking realization, EARN what I have as opposed to it being taken from someone else to be given to me.

You can't steal from Peter to pay Paul. That's exactly what's going on. Your post shows you have very little econmic intelligence nor actual knowledge of how the politcal world actually works. Keep listening to your media outlets telling you what you're supposed to believe and that government is the end all be all solution of life. Lemmings all jump from the ledge one day.

The Democrats have been IN CONTROL since 2006 and yet they haven't done a damn thing execpt spend spend spend our unborn grandchildrens lives away. If government was such a great thing, riddle me this; why is the USPS in shambles? Why is Amtrak bankrupt? Why do public sector unions have nonbinding agreements in states that employee multiple people? Can you answer any of these or are you just going to goto a good one and call me a racist and think you like many of your brode and "I won the argument". Use some fact's next time as opposed to whatever some douche at MSNBC told you.

You are ridiculous!  Everyone is entitled to their opinion, including you, but you didn't have to belittle the whole thing the way you did.  Are you a republucan? I should have known from your smart aleck remarks!

Belittle??

The original poster insulted people who didn't vote and everyone who voted republican!! She said she wasn't proud to be an American simply because an election race went the opposite of what she wanted and she called all Americans stupid.

Yet you chastise someone for being able to:
1. Post without using all caps in an entire post.
2. Use intelligent and thought out statements supporting their opinion.
3. Not using juvenile whiny insults in their response.

Well said.  Two thumbs up to you.

[mlhnceh]

If you're so ashamed to be an American, then leave the country.  Afghanistan is really nice right now.  I don't always agree with everything that happens here, but I would never say I'm ashamed of America.  There is nowhere in the world that compares.

[mattymatt79]

Actually no, I'm not a Republican. I'd call myself a libetarian if I had to pick an actual political party. If you had taken any time to read any of my previous posts you'd actually realize that. I've been as critical of Cantor, Boehner, and Bush as I have been of Pelosi, Reid, and Obama.

As far as belittling? Obviously you've studied zero of macro economics or realized that funny money created out of thin air by the federal reserve for "stimulus" is a bad thing. My post had more to do with being critical of someone who thinks everyone should vote "her way" as it did with anything else, we're not a democracy we're a republic, and the quicker you realize such things the more you're going to realize that being hypercritical is actually a good thing. You'll realize that questioning our government leaders is what makes this country great. Having that ability to do so means that I can actually change things with the ability "vote with my feet".

If you can't understand simple economic terms, ideas, and theroies then theres not a whole lot I can do for you.

Again, belittle? You haven't read anything or have the ability of understanding that people do have differing opinons. I called the OP out because it was full of nothing but total partisan hack I only watch MSNBC Keith Olbermann and love the president even though he's done absolute squat as far as accomplishments of real premise. And if you quote Health Care; either A: you didn't have it to begin with or B: you think everyone is entitled to everything in a welfare only state. If this bill was such a good thing, why have I received multiple letters from my provider and now saying it's going to be going up 2500 a year. Theres going to hopefully be a huge shake up within congress and this bill will be replaced with things that actually help the consumer as opposed to the health insurance providers.

DITTO!!

[andzigallery]

Earth to everyone!!!  The Democrats took control of the senate and the house in 2008 and took office of the president in 2009. However, I tend not to agree with anything, why?  Because of this nonsense!  I don't care what people think but if you think the government is going to give handouts then--ha ha for you!!!  Try looking at someone who has a chronic or serious illness or life-threatening illness and see what kind of hand-outs they've gotten--next to none or better yet zilch!!!  I don't care what party is in control, it comes down to the same old thing, you better not lose your job or you better not get sick!   If you do I hope you have family, friends or a support group of some sort because as far as creditors are concerned all you are is a name and telephone number.  They don't care if you are democratic, republican, liberal, black, white, hispanic, asian, biracial, catholic, baptist, protestant, jewish, muslim, man, women, small business owner, self-employed, unemployed, disabled, homeless, dead, have legal representation or visa versa.  In addition to family and friends, most of the help I've gotten was either from a private hospital to cover some cost as a breast cancer patient or various support groups that know of resources available for cancer survivors.  This is because lots of organizations and individuals donate lots of dollars to these programs.  It does not come from the government!  Applying for State insurance is a joke if you're a penny over a certain income bracket it is going to take a while to get anything!  Expecting a government hand-out PLEASE!  You might as well go begging in the street!   And come on!  You know what that person meant--terrorist not terrier.  Don't knock that person either--because I've come across lots of misspelling so who are you to judge--just saying!!!

[ElleRich]

Obama doesn't possess magical powers to fix all of America's problems in 2 years.  After this election, I quit voting.  I am tired of the drama and feel it's useless.  The parties and the powers at be who own them will do what they want to anyways.

[shernajwine]

You know what that person meant--terrorist not terrier.  Don't knock that person either--because I've come across lots of misspelling so who are you to judge--just saying!!!

The point was that you don't go all caps, yelling at how stupid Americans are, all the while misspelling words and making yourself look like an idiot. She insulted everyone all the while saying we were attacked by terriers. We know what she meant, but if you're going to call people stupid, be prepared to have something like that called out--just saying 

[monnee]

Those trouble making, no good    "terriers"     are sure getting on everyones nerves by causing a lot of problems all over the world.
