- MangalaIII, on 02/28/2009, -11/+100Hmm, it's almost as if George W. Bush wasn't that good at presidenting...
- muckemuck, on 02/28/2009, -10/+55Didn't Romney do that Socialist thing and push universal healthcare in his state? And conservatives are supporting him? Huh?
- dawnraid101, on 03/01/2009, -10/+44To bad I dont care about his opinion.
- AdamaObama, on 02/28/2009, -9/+39"Bush blew it on the stimulus."
"...Oh yeah, I should have said that when he proposed it. Sorry, guys. kthxbai!" - designer, on 03/01/2009, -8/+38George Bush was not a conservative.
- SQLserver, on 02/28/2009, -29/+54Bush would never have passed a Recovery package like Obama's. God forbid, that would mean HELPING American Infrastructure, Education, and citizens. That violates like 32 Republican codes.
- inactive, on 03/01/2009, -23/+44The republicans blew it. Period.
The republicans blow.
I love how Romney, Huckabee, Palin, Jindahl, and the repubs in the house and senate are posturing for 2010 or 2012. That's all they care about. They don't care about people losing their jobs, their homes, their healthcare, their retirement. The don't care about families that are separated because they have to find employment far away from home.
We have 30 years of republican social and economic policies to thank the the situation we're in now. It's wasn't just George Bush, although he certainly did his part. - garryw, on 03/01/2009, -2/+23CPAC 2009 Presidential Straw Poll Results

- blinkerbug, on 03/01/2009, -0/+16Official results .. http://cpac.org/strawpoll/2-09_CPAC_Straw_Poll.ppt
have Ron Paul ahead of Sarah Palin. - MangalaIII, on 02/28/2009, -10/+26No they don't.
- garryw, on 03/01/2009, -1/+16You should read up on the 2002 Olympics. He turned 200 million debt into 300 million profit. Bush couldn't do anything like that.
- PoizonFrog, on 03/01/2009, -5/+19The Pubs don't mind big spending, as long as they're the recipients.
- Nickolassc, on 03/01/2009, -2/+16And he destroyed the conservative movement with his poserness.
Damn you GW! - tmyprod, on 03/01/2009, -8/+22Romney seems like one of those guys who is nice enough when you meet him, but you still walk away with that feeling like "I don't like him, I don't know why, but I don't like him" and then you spend the next day or so trying to figure out why you don't like him.
- eir574, on 02/28/2009, -8/+21No, NoLibertarians. That's not necessarily true. I respect a person's right to believe in whatever nonsense he chooses to believe. If he tells me that he believes that Zeus has taken up residence in the Pacific ocean and is preparing to exact a terrible vengeance on the world for not believing in him all these years unless we start sacrificing kittens to him, well, I'm not going to respect the validity of that belief just because someone believes it. I also have little respect for the beliefs held by the guy who parks his van in various places in my area and says that he'll release a new operating system that will save humanity once he gains 256 followers.
- barktwiggs, on 03/01/2009, -1/+13Except competent.
- northwatuppa, on 02/28/2009, -23/+35“I wish the president would have laid [a stimulus package] out before he left office."
Like Bush could have done ANYTHING in the months before he left office. It's ridiculous for Romney to even suggest such a thing. Shows how far out of touch he still is. Or is he part of the big GOP push to rewrite the history of the Bush administration. - MangalaIII, on 02/28/2009, -14/+25I AM MOR-MAN. Behold my magic underwear...
- jdenzer, on 03/01/2009, -1/+10Funny how he waited until after Bush left to say that. In fact it is funny how Republicans are now starting to 'bash' Bush. It is all for political gain, nothing else.
- DirtyBinLV, on 03/01/2009, -0/+9
I started hearing this a lot when his approval rating started falling in the 40s. When it was in the 70s, I heard a lot about what a great, Conservative, President he was. - LOPposse, on 03/01/2009, -2/+10Obama is just a black version of Jimmy Carter
- SQLserver, on 02/28/2009, -8/+16... And the rest of the Christians believe in sky fairies in the clouds, old men who created the universe, demons possesing people, and stuff that is equally insane.
And I disagree with NoLibertarians. I do NOT want someone who believes in something that's totally insane and dangerous in control of my country. If I believed that it was my sole goal in life to kill Americans, would you want me as president?
Irrational beliefs, including Christianity, are dangerous when they affect one's judgment. - relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -1/+9It didn't take until after his re-election bid to figure that out.
- muckemuck, on 02/28/2009, -6/+14Glad to hear you respect the Muslims..
- jdenzer, on 03/01/2009, -5/+12Right, b/c the private sector handled Katrina so well. And Blackwater and Halibutron have done such a great job in Iraq. Who was it who wanted to fix social security w/ the stock market? It would be in great shape right now.
- pingveno, on 03/01/2009, -0/+7Straw polls: The IRL version of the online poll.
Edit: Never mind, it is an online poll. Hence, the presence of a man who would be 69 in 2012. - droo31, on 03/01/2009, -3/+10How about we take a "wait and see" approach to Obama's stimulus package? Can we actually see if the democrats spending trillions of dollars will actually help our country before labeling it a success because the "Dems did it"?
- Kent4jmj, on 03/01/2009, -9/+15I know how about Republicans stand up for common sense and yell from the top of their lungs that the only stimulus package of worth is one where the Government gets the hell out of the private sector, reduces its spending, shrinks its useless ***** bureaucracies and returns to its Constitutional responsibility to coin money.
- 5urr3al5am, on 03/01/2009, -0/+6SUCKS (and run by government)
1) Social Security
2) Welfare
3) DOT
4) Medicare/Medicade
5) Education
6) Postal Service - bnasley, on 03/01/2009, -3/+9in other words, Bush blows? a little late to the party, but... whatever...
- blinkerbug, on 03/01/2009, -2/+8It would have been nice of him to say that the TARP was a mistake.. oh.. back when when it might have helped prevent that big SCAM from passing.
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 03/01/2009, -0/+6Well, at least Sarah Failin' isn't at the top. I'd rather see Mitt in office than that bitch. Hell, I'd rather see just about anyone on that list in office instead of her.
- ylluminate, on 03/01/2009, -5/+11Romney is about the only politician I'd trust in office at the moment in our nation. I've studied his commitments and it's hard to find *any* politician that has as much integrity as this guy. Integrity is something that all of these rotten politicians lack at the moment it seems. We need someone that truly understands business, as some other folks have mentioned up above in the comments, in office right now. We're going down the tubes faster than anyone realizes right now.
- SpinningHead, on 03/01/2009, -1/+7Who voted for him...twice?
- rolf, on 03/01/2009, -2/+8I know why I don't like Mittens. Because he's a pandering PoS. He flip flops more than a caught tuna, just youtube it. Bush should have had another stimulus package, really Mittens? You mean like the big expensive one last spring already? Ask the Japanese how stimulus packages work (hint: since the 90's, they did at least 10 of 'em, each one bigger and 'better' than the last one, it got them from ~65% GDP debt to over ~180% GDP debt).
People think Mittens is a financial genius because he shipped jobs to China. But sometime in the future, we'll look at all these current genius's and their short foresight and curse them for not having more imagination - because the recent trend doesn't increase productivity - all it does is give us cheap products for the current generation while building China as the next superpower (and America as a second world country). - afruff23, on 03/01/2009, -0/+6I didn't know you could get so much falsehood into a single short comment.
1. Katrina
Local governments were preventing many different organizations from helping out. Furthermore, laws against price gouging essentially left the area without clean water. Just think about it. If water cost $5 a bottle, then people are going to come in from all over to sell water. If it cost $1 (by law), then there's not much incentive to transport water.
2. Iraq
The best example of the PRIVATE sector you could come up with was a company whose main employer is the GOVERNMENT and probably would not exist without that contract? Calling that private would be like me calling the Iranian national oil company a private company.
3. Social security and stocks
One of the main reasons that the stock market is based on bad speculation is that there people are forced to put money into social security. Obviously, this money isn't just sitting there. One type of investment for this money would be stocks. When you have a ton of money following a few stocks, you can see how it is like stuffing 10000 chickens into a 1 cubic foot space. If there were no social security, then speculation would go way down. - neognostic, on 03/01/2009, -7/+12What was the Democratic led congress supposed to do? The republican congress had more filibusters than at any time in history, and they never worked with the Democrats, making any over ride of a Bush veto impossible. You need to go back to 6th grade and take another government class.
- geekee, on 03/01/2009, -1/+6Here's a plan. Balance the budget to avoid paying 1 trillion in interest over the next ten years on the current budget proposal.
- SQLserver, on 02/28/2009, -5/+10@Kohaxx:
Nah, I'll take what I can get. No politician will ever be perfect. And not just religious people have irrational beliefs. One can irrationally believe in anything.
I'm not against Religion, I'm against irrational beliefs affecting judgment. A deist or theist that doesn't let their irrational belief affect their judgment is fine. - jdenzer, on 03/01/2009, -4/+9So when he is running in 2012, conservatives won't use the "he,got everyone health care in Massachusetts" line. I mean he wasn't for it right?
Some how I see him saying it was all him in order to get the undecided votes. - gmtwilight, on 03/01/2009, -0/+5I wouldn't call it 'universal healthcare' so much as sign up for a health care plan you can't afford or we'll ***** up your state income return.
- ShibbySandwich, on 03/01/2009, -0/+5God damn it i hate people like you. ***** retarded. Maybe if you could explain to me how this brilliant stimulus package is even going to begin to create a 'booming economy' then I might have a little respect for your comment. But know, you're a typical libtard that naturally assumes that Obama can do no wrong. Oh, just because Obama backs it, the stimulus package is 100% guaranteed to work!! ***** idiot. If only to make you feel like a complete and utter failure in all that you believe in, I hope that the stimulus package is a complete failure. Maybe then you'll learn not to be a sheep and follow Obama based on blind faith. Ironically, due to natural trends in recessions as mentioned by meetjoeblack, the economy will recover over the next 4 years, and will probably return to a standing better than it ever has been. And unfortunately, liberal retards such as yourself will again attribute this as a success for Obama, just as you still do for Clinton.
- Kohaxx, on 02/28/2009, -3/+7So your point is, you aren't going to be satisfied until there's an atheist President?
- SeniorFuzzy, on 03/01/2009, -0/+4And where have those policies gotten us.... You talk soo much *****. Democratic policies?? Who was in the White House for the last 8 years. You act like Republicans are trying to actually fix this mess.
- homercles337, on 03/01/2009, -7/+11Mittens is a true lying sack of *****. He did a 180 with his policies as Gov relative to his run for the repug nomination.
- Fratz, on 03/01/2009, -3/+7I can already tell you that in a Romney vs X race, I would vote for X.
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 03/01/2009, -0/+4I dunno about the fundies. Mormons earned a lot of ire from leftists with Prop 8, but it scored them some pretty big points from the fundies.
- Groovydoo, on 03/01/2009, -1/+5The Republicans are in disarray and they are acting like it too. They are feeding on their own, and stating bold face lies regarding the last 8-years. Now, if the Depression they handed us softens or even becomes more severe, everybody know who got us into it and which party is trying to get us out. Republican, "Bootstrap," platitudes don't work in a Depression.
- damnhandy, on 03/01/2009, -0/+4As far as Massachusetts Governors go, Mitt was actually pretty good in hind sight.
