Answer 1

the really big TV right wing churches are now saying greed and excess is your just reward from god so ...
when you can twist the bible that hard and believe it said excess consumption and no helping those without Amos 5 Matthew,
also http://bible.cc/ecclesiastes/5-19.htm

selfish and greedy excess is now Gods desire and reward fro you?? so what's a little corruption, hypocrisy, addiction, and adultery?

it's all become insane!

and yes unemployment is low they are all now homeless and off the Edd rolls !
drug addiction and alcoholism is up. diabetes and other illness from poor diet up, homeless disabled and seniors up. oil profits up. gas prices up traffic up home ownership down. ability to afford rental housing basics like food and medical care- down. real estate developer.profits up. only 14% can afford a home oc California.and foreclosures are up too.

and yes, most Wealthy invest the bulk of their money Outside the USA .it doesn't re-enter the economy. none with even one master's level course in economics (even if republicans) believe that.
most lower income spend it here. so taxes are up for the poor and down for the rich.

they cut all the infrastructure and housing and social and educational programs and have billions of dollars of debt for the war and debt is down and so are we?

allthey have to do is use soy/corn ethanol and there will be no terrorist money .. but for the few invested here in oil. we continue ..

insane, i say again!
so what's a little corruption onthe side?

Answer 2

Democrats have curropt hacks in the system too its not just republicans. Therefore, its that the democrats have not been caught doing curropt things. The curropt is about 50-50 on both sides. Yes, Campagin finance reform is needed, and laws to reduce the influence of business lobby on politcan, so they can understand the vote they make and thier effects. The democrats will force the republicians more the center on certian policy issuses and that is not bad.

The fallout losses from the democrats will hurt the neo-con wing of the republican party, but It could help the old-time goldwater Republicans and McCain the election losses that could occur. The democrats will benefit because of Iraq fisaco. I hope

Democrats will allow reimportation of medication to reduce the cost of durgs across the whole population.
Also, Afraid of Democrats policy on taxes because raising taxes on the top 1% of tax eaners leaves less money in the market to make investments in the economy.
Medicare program will a job better suited for the democrats since thier not beholden to health insurance interests as much.
Social Security should be priviziated slowly over time, and decrease benefits for the upper 10% of income earners, and reduce benefit slightly in growth for the middle 70%, and increase the benefit in social security for the bottom 20% of the population. Finally, make all Bushes tax cuts permanent long term, but keep in place the inhertaince tax for estate above 20 million dollars. The moderates are what needed in the white house.

Answer 3

Wow, just when I think I have answered a question that is going to get me sent a hundred e-mails by angry republicans, someone like you comes along and makes me proud to be an American.

I want to pass a humorous little tidbit along to you that has happened right here in good ole sunny Florida. We have a Republican and a Democrat running for Governor. Although I am a registered Democrat I had decided to vote for Charlie Crist the Republican candidate. He seemed like an alright guy and had done very well in his previous political office. That was until a couple of weeks ago. He hung two 30 foot signs off of buildings in downtown Tampa. It is against the law in Florida to have political signs over 15 feet tall but you have 30 days to remove the signs once you have been served with a notice.

Guess what? The elections are less than 30 days away so he will remove them the day after the election. So he is knowingly breaking the law to try to win the election. He lost my vote, my husband's, my daughter's and my son-in-law's.

Answer 4

Learning to spell campaign would be great. Both parties have individuals that are corrupt. The difference is that the media truly puts a spotlight on Republicans that are corrupt. Remember the Democrats have Teddy who got away with murder, Clinton who got away with perjury and Hillary who had a file on all Republicans in Congress, Kerry who lied about Viet Nam vets, etc. Look at the total picture and Republicans are closest to representing Christian values.

Answer 5

i've got faith Democrats ought to call greater Democrats and Republicans ought to call greater Republicans. interest to the celebration in capacity has a tendency to bypass to the president and others interior the administrative branch. greater widespread Democrats than widespread Republicans quit congress to connect a Democratic administration. any opposite direction around if there's a Republican administration. case in point, Hillary Clinton.

Answer 6

What exactly do you consider Christian values to be? Check your facts, how many republicans do we know for a fact are murderers with their own hands? I don't mean how you claim going to war makes Bush a murderer. Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton are both murderers how does that show us how Christian the Dem's are?

Answer 7

Just wait until the Dem's get in office they will be just as bad if not worse "The whit-house breeds corruption in both parties" its all just the nature of politics! It's well known that democrats eat there young!

Answer 8

hummmmmm...does this one really deserve an answer?

Ok here it goes. Democrats are the only ones who want to take the focus off their own wrong-doings. So, they take every little thing and blow it out of proportion so all the uneducated couch potatoes will believe it (like they believe everything they see on TV).

Just vote if you don't like what's happening. My vote will count. Will yours?

Answer 9

Because they are the party in power: There is more of them.
You are forgetting the one true-ism for politics and politicians:

It they ain't crooked when they get in office! they are gona be crooked by the time they get out of office!

Answer 10

Republicans get rid of their wrongdoers. Democrats embrace their wrongdoers and make excuses for them and just go on with their crooked little lives.

Sorry, but I couldn't bring myself to click onto that left wing wacko site.
