He used TK JUNK MAIL'S PERSONAL BLOG. I'd believe that for a second and then realize that it lacks any credible truth. I'm sure if you match the time frames to what he claims.

Oil Prices

Decline in US dollar

Housing Market Busting (which is due to unchecked and unregulated industry left to simmer)

5.5 Trillion Deficit
etc

You'd find MOST HAPPENED under a Republican Congress with Bush at the Helm. Go figure. Democrats have ONLY been in office since November. Bush has been at it with his Congress for 7 years prior.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21004003 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:39:10 EDT Re: VP Candidate Is Pro-RIAA, Anti-Privacy http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21003261 jc100 : Let's start. My first person was George Bush Sr. Did you not bother reading?

Second.. YOU ARE QUOTING TJ JUNK MAIL'S Blog as PROOF??? WOW. That's a NEW ONE!!! He doesn't know truth if it bit him in the ass.

Let's just Start with Bush Jr since you concertedly SKIPPED his Dad.

1) Americans were SPENDING... MONEY THEY DID NOT HAVE. Hence the Housing Market Crash due to UNCHECKED lending industry.

2) Gas Prices Started out at 1 Dollar in 2000 and are now 4 dollars NOT due to the Democrats. They had Increased LONG before. We saw 3.60 a Gallon before they took office. Nice try though.

3) Consumer Confidence has been at all time lows actually. Look at the Standard and Poors index. People aren't too happy. Inflation under Bush has been at around 20 percent on many things. Don't blame the new Congress. They just took over in November. Bush and his Republican Congress seeded this crap for the past 7.5 years.

4) Bush's Deficit. Do you not recall it was a REPUBLICAN Congress? Yea, I guess not. Bush didn't seem to be saying no to spending the money, DID HE?

5) Americans are building a portfolio.. One of Poverty and Despair. See above for how the dollar HAS HIT a 26 year record low... NOT UNDER DEMOCRATS, but Republicans. That means inflation once again is at an ALL TIME HIGH.

6) Iraq NEVER OPENLY ADMITTED TO ANYTHING TO DO WITH TERRORISM... Proof please.

7)Guantanamo Bay is anything but club med. Its a black eye to America and it's world policies. We are setting a precedent that locking people up, giving them sham trials, allowing torture, and laughing about it is all right. What do you lose from giving people a FAIR TRIAL? Nothing. Anyway, this sets a dangerous precedent for our own people. Don't expect our soldiers to get proper treatment from any countries where they get captured these days. What's good for the U.S, is good for the rest on violating Geneva Convention, right?

8) Georgia's Break aways HAVE NOT BEEN IN Georgia's control since the Soviet Union Fell. That doesn't make them part of Georgia. It's just has been no one has recognized their sovereignty. Yet, under a 1992 agreement, Russia has been allowed forces in these parts. Georgia should have left well enough alone. They didn't, and got their ass handed to them. Tough luck. Bush invaded SOVEREIGN nations. Last I checked, Iraq and Afghanistan weren't even PROTECTORATES at the time the U.S. invaded.

Last, this goes to show how IGNORANT you really are. First you use TK Junk mail as your source. Where is ANY LINK TO SUBSTANTIATE a thing you claimed or he claimed... Funny. I'd like a time frame on all those statements and proof to go along with it......

Yet, here's the best one. It was called the IRAN CONTRA CRISIS YOU HISTORICAL DIM WIT! Can we say Oliver North!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21003261 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 11:14:47 EDT Re: VP Candidate Is Pro-RIAA, Anti-Privacy http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21002970 WALL_E : As I, too, was a Ron Paul supporter, I thought I would take a look at Bob Barr's voting history to see if he aligned with my political beliefs.

It's very much like you said - in the past few years, he's had a great voting record(IMHO). But when you go back to 1998-2003 or so, he took a lot of questionable positions. Requiring prayer in school, voting YES on making appeals to the death penalty harder... I don't know, seems like he was (at least at one time) very much unlike Ron Paul.

I question why he's changed his opinions so drastically these past few years. Not that there's anything wrong with people changing their opinions, but some of his prior stances seem downright dangerous.

Conservative is just another name for Republican, let's face it. We've seen that party tout their "Conservative" Nature since Regan and look what that got us.

Regan

1) Olive North and Arms Trading to Iran
2) Funding the Sandistas and propping to power Dictators in South America
3) Our first Trillion Dollar Deficit

Bush Sr.

1) Kuwait
2) More trillion Dollar Deficit
3) Crapped Economy

Bush Jr.

1) Iraq - Nothing to do with 9/11 or Terror
2) Afghanistan - Maybe a link. Yet we put the Taliban in Power and trained them. WTF Bush Sr.
3) 5.5 Trillion Deficit.
4) Record and Historical Inflation
5) NSA Wiretappings
6) Guantanamo Bay
7) Suspension of Habeous Corpus
8) Military Commissions Act
9) Bad economy
10 Best of all no Room to Speak on the world platform. Loved how Bush talked about Russia invading sovereign nations. Doh, you forget Iraq and Afghanistan....

Bad economy from Conservatives ????? Look what the hell Liberal democrats, in control of the Senate and House did.

»tkjunkmail.blogspot.com/
Democrats & Obama bringing change; but can we stand it?

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +
5) American's were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations o'seas, living large!...

But American's wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress & yep--we got 'CHANGE' all right. In the PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION
DOLLARS & prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~11,100--
$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR
STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT
PORTFOLIOS!

BTW, For as low an approval rating as GWB gets from the public. Democratic approval rating is less than GWB's, actually half as much. Yes, I agree the Democrats SUCK, twice as bad as the RINO's.

Want to place the blame on somebody? Then pin it where it belongs. On the current liberal democratic majority controlling congress. Where was congress, when Bush asked for immunity for teleco spying? Oh yea they said. Here it is George, no problem. Would you like anything else to go with that?. Where did those elected "democrats" go, who was going to stand up to GWB and his diabolical schemes, because they touted themselves champions of the people? They lied worse than the RINO's did.

quote:
Our first Trillion Dollar Deficit came when democrats controlled congress under Regan and Bush Sr
Congress controls spending and holds the purse strings always did always will. Despite run-away spending by a democratic congress under Reagan & Bush Sr Administrations. The economy was stronger in those years to overcome runaway spending, than the havoc these ultra liberal leftwing socialist moonbats have created today.

Bush Jr.

1) Iraq - Nothing to do with 9/11 or Terror.... Iraq openly admitted it would give safe haven to terrorists. NO terrorists in Iraq? Right. Okay. Then why the horror of them strapping dynamite or C-4 to mentally challenged people and then blowing them to pieces?
2) Afghanistan - Maybe a link. Yet we put the Taliban in Power and trained them. WTF Bush Sr. Afghanistan.... No doubt about that link. Yes we did put the Taliban in Power. WTF? why mention GWB Sr, under your GWB JR heading?
3) 5.5 Trillion Deficit......See congress
4) Record and Historical Inflation.....See congress, the Fed.
5) NSA Wiretappings......See congress
6) Guantanamo Bay.....Club Med vacation compared to treatment Danny Pearl was given'
7) Suspension of Habeous Corpus.....Agree
8) Military Commissions Act.....Agree
9) Bad economy......See congress
10 Best of all no Room to Speak on the world platform. Loved how Bush talked about Russia invading sovereign nations. Doh, you forget Iraq and Afghanistan.... F the world platform. America should be our first concern. You forgot Georgia is a breakaway republic from and is still land mass belonging to the old u.s.s.r, can't recall it ever being a sovereign nation.

We attacked Iraq & Afghanistan, because of 9/11 terrorist attack and ties of terrorists to those countries. Russia is attacking solely to gain control of an oil pipeline. Ask the Europeans how cold last winter was when Russia shut off the flow of heating oil to them.Russia is killing/shooting/bombing innocent men women & children in Georgia. The world is quiet as a mouse. We make a terrorist sweat a little and liberals go nuts. Where the F is the worlds same outcry denouncing Russia's action as it complained about Gitmo?

Reagan trading arms to Iran? Must have been a secret, Iraq yes, Iran afaik no. Not saying it's not true. Since the Islamic revolution in the 1970's and Iran held Americans hostage for 444 days, this started when a democrat was president. His name Jimmy Carter. We sold arms to Iraq when they went to war with Iran.

That's not to say Democrats and Republicans will always be the two parties, but with voting it's always gonna end up as two parties. It's just simple logic and human nature.

For example, take parties A (smallest), B, and C (B & C are about equal). Parties B and C are gonna do everything they can to get voters from A to come to their group. Now say if some people go to party B to where they have the most -- this means both A and C will lose. If anyone in A doesn't want B to win, they'll go to C to hopefully overcome B. That leaves A with less and less people.

Don't get me wrong -- I'd love to have more than two real choices even though I (mostly) agree with Obama, but it just isn't gonna happen as people vote just as much against someone as they vote for someone else, if not more. Example: I think many people will vote for Obama as a vote against McCain rather than a vote for Obama.

It's sad but true.

Strange enough, Every one of these guys called themselves a conservative. Don't get me wrong, Democrats aren't usually a whole lot better, especially the one's we got now. I can't stand that Obama Supported Fisa and his VP is Anti everything technology and voted for Iraq. Yet, McCain is all that plus supporting torture and wanting to extend Iraq. Both our choices suck.

I consider myself wanting someone WHO ISN'T affiliated with a "party" but is there to serve the people. Since 3rd parties won't ever win (sigh) and change the pattern, I definitely don't consider myself conservative. At least I can stay Abortion Rights, No Religion in School (School is there to learn, NOT DEBATE "GOD".. Pay for a Private school if you want that), and support of Marriage for all is still Democratic Stances. These seem to be the only ones they haven't yet SCREWED UP.

In terms of parties, I'm a neither. Claiming to be a conservative or liberal (or do they like the term "progressive" I never figured that out) is probably a bs claim for a good majority of the population. The only reason people take the side of "conservative" or "liberal" is because we have a two candidate system in our elections. It's either the republican candidate wins or the democrat candidate wins.

Conserving implies that you want to keep everything the same as it is now, and right now it's broken (of course they've strayed from this principle a lot in the past 20 years) "Progressive" implies the liberal use of the "yay" vote on unnecessary, constitution-destroying legislation, and the introduction of such legislation as well.

I'm a Libertarian. I like the liberties given to me by the constitution, and I'd like to get my rights back.

If you look at FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) for example, which (among other things) gave broad immunity to the telcos for their wiretapping without warrants - crossed party lines - though, all the nay votes came from Democrats.

The fact is, there are very few legislators that truly take up the anti-RIAA and anti-MPAA cause. Even fewer who would stand up for privacy rights, and risk being labeled as "un-American" for being "soft on terror/crime/etc".
