There really isn't that many conservative comments (there's more comments commenting on the number of conservative comments then there are conservative comments)... and most of them are heavily buried... sure a lot of them are not constructive... but some have been buried just for not being liberal or pro Obama. I've seen plenty of conservatives on digg... they are just heavily in the minority... so it just makes it funny to me when there's more than 2 anti liberal comments in a row that the "some other site is sending a brigade" theory always comes out.
indeed... not bad considering 54 have been kept and an additional 14 compromises were made in the direction of his promises.... and an additional 154 are in the works
Its called fannie mae and freddy mac. Its is lending money to people that can't pay it back. It was a democratic sponsored bill that created this mess under ClintonBut since I'm not a liberal, this will obviously get dugg down as well..
dude...look at all recent presidents, and the polling data will say that at some point, they have all dropped below 50%, and it did not mean its the end of the party/country/world.Now i don't agree with him on every issue, but i know for a fact that the deficit is high because he properly accounted for all the money that had been spent, but never had been taken account for (i.e. Wars in Afghanistan/Iraq, TARP). First step to balancing a checkbook is identifying ALL your expenses.Your idea that now that more than 50% disagrees with him means that suddenly its the end of the game only concludes that you're acting like an ignorant, trolling douchebag.
