GOP needs to back off on Iran

The same idiots that brought us the unjust war in Iraq, torturing and a world full of Anti-Americanism now thinks they should criticize Obama on Iran. Are you serious? The funny thing is, everyone that knows anything about the middle east, including ALL respectable Republicans, says we need to stay out and the president is handing this just right.

Tough talking chicken hawks are the last thing we need right now. US meddling in Iranian politics will only help the mullahs and hardliners and serve as a blow to the freedom fighters we want to prevail. And I have a tough time believing these media savy right wing nut jobs are stupid enough to not know this; Radicalism feeds radicalism, Bush was nothing without Bin Laden, they know this and that's why they're helping these tyrants out. Get with the program! The world wants peace now and there's no room on this crowded planet for people who dont.

Stimulous Spending: Obama's first failure?

Let’s cut to the chase! The unemployment rate is expected to hit double digits when June’s unemployment figures come out later this month. Didn’t Obama represent to the American people that spending the billions in stimulus money would keep unemployment from exceeding 8% and if we don’t spend it, unemployment will reach 9%? Was double digit unemployment even in the formula? Wasn’t the stimulus money supposed to save or create 2 million jobs? How at this point could Obama prove that actually happened? HE CAN’T, IT HASN’T AND IT WON’T! That’s the bottom line. New unemployment claims still exceed 600,000 every single week. It hasn’t dropped at all since all these billions were injected into the economy so where are all the saved jobs?

I remember the experts saying that Obama has only one chance to get this right and if the stimulus package doesn’t work we have no options for plan B because we simply won’t have the money to try anything else. Obama is spinning every statistic he can right now to make it sound like things are getting better and the stimulus is starting to work. The rhetoric has begun but logically thinking people are starting to see that there are really no signs that any of this is working and that nothing Obama is doing is actually making a significant difference or turning this counties economic wow’s around. Most indications seem to point to a devastating failure on Obama’s part.

Billions spent, billions more on the docket yet be spend and no measurable signs of economic recovery. When is it time for the American people start demanding more fiscal responsibility from Obama and the democratic party before it’s too late and China owns this country lock, stock and barrel?

A Tortured Issue...

Why are the only people advocating torture and water boarding are those that never served in the military? All the experts on this issue, the people in the field and the interrogators themselves, all say it is not only torture, but completely ineffective. God only knows how much money and time we've lost chasing down bad leads and confessions from "terrorists" that will say anything to get the torture to stop. Not to mention the price our nation has paid in bad publicisity and hatred from the victoms of these crimes and their families, that will no doubt last generations. I think if you're going to advocate something so sadistic you should have to have it done to you first. Right-wind radeo host Madcow had the balls to do this and then came out and spoke the truth. He should be praised for it, but you wont hear even anything about it from those on the right, will you? I would pay good money to see the same done to Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rush, Hannety and the rest of those fools!
