You are so amazing and twisted in ways I can only aspire to. <br /><br />Hubby and I were talking about just this thing on Friday, and we hit almost all of your points. <br /><br />I'm pretty sure I don't have another Bush in me.

When it comes to politics, our country has become a joke. I don't know who can, or how it can get "fixed"...but I wish it with all my might. The Who and The What that rule our country are The Greedy who only care about themselves....BTW, I LOVE Susan Flett Swiderski's comment!BECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352920971254096499.post-21133854504618829762012-01-26T16:39:46.521-08:002012-01-26T16:39:46.521-08:00I still believe that in order for the Republican P...I still believe that in order for the Republican Party to be more attractive to the electorate, they are going to have to jettison the Tea Party. Why, oh why does the GOP tolerate the extremism? The GOP of the olden days was right of centre, of course, but they weren't burying the damned needle. <br /><br />I, too, believe that President Obama has done a remarkable job with what he faced when entering the Oval Office. I hope there will be second term for him. Think how much more he can accomplish if the Democrats can get Congress back. But then that means the electorate has to see the Republicans in Congress for what they are - a bunch of cry-babies if they don't get their way and bullies of the worst possible kind (not to mention bigots).Martha Gates-Mawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13968343759908672318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352920971254096499.post-26291893610005209542012-01-26T15:58:28.726-08:002012-01-26T15:58:28.726-08:00I totally, 100% understand your mom's comment....I totally, 100% understand your mom's comment.<br /><br />After WWII, President Eishenhower kept taxes at 70% to pay off the war debt. My parents thought it was their responsibility to pay this tax. My father had been on Iwo Jima - so many of his buddies were dead but he was alive.<br /><br />The U.S. is the only country in recorded history to drain a treasury with a rebate, cut taxes, divert forces from one war and invade another country.<br /><br />President Obama inherited a mess. I'm pleased with his accomplishments thus far.Kittie Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756250649095903317noreply@blogger.com
