What Politicians do You Trust ??

So you're looking for a politician who stands by there principle. Someone that is honest. Someone who isn't afraid to go up against anyone including people in their own party. Someone who doesn't care what other people think but will speak their mind and stand firmly on the truth of their own convictions. Who has not been in bed with the lobbyist but rather has a record of fighting them, who has a record that proves they won't cave and give in to the party or politics? Who actually took office and did exactly what they said they would do, and you want someone with a record of this that's concrete?

Robert, you're not going to like the answer to this. There is only one person who absolutely makes the grade.
Wait for it!

Sarah Palin

Be careful what you ask for, after all sometimes the truth isn't what you really want.

I'm sorry but...who? Sarah Palin had so many gaffes in her tenure as governor of Alaska and you say that she's done of all these things. Lord, I don't think you read as much as you say you do.

Gaffes? Gaffes? Are you kidding? Bigger then Obama's Gate's gaffe? Or his Iran gaffes? Or his bowling/special olympics gaffe? Or his Fed Ex, UPS vs. USPS gaffe? Or his 57 states gaffe? Not to mention some of the flat out stupid stuff he's said. Should I touch on the hundreds of lies yet? The promises he made in his campaign that he obviously never intended to keep?

Let's see, she had an 80% approval rating until she was under full assault by the media (Obama has never been at 80% and that was after a full term. She fought the oil companies and politicians (both parties) and beat them (obama cut a deal instead). She lowered taxes and balanced her state budget.

Hey, guess what, I do!

Palin makes gaffes every single time she gives an interview, makes up words, and lies to her teeth about anything she's not sure of. I hope she gets the Republican nomination in 2011; it would basically assure another term for Obama.
Lies? Obama, like any other politician, campaigned on things he would work to make happen. He sure has been steady on going after each of his campaign promises. Maybe he is more of a negotiator than we expected, but the country is moving forward instead of backwards as it was with Bush and would definitely be with McCain/Palin.

Really? You just can't think of any? Oh and that wasn't a made up word, it was a mis-spell from an app-phone, you know, with the little keys? You see the media like to make things up about Palin, (remember, they were caught admitting that) and she likes to play off of that. Unfortunately when the media is scared to death of someone and is willing to do anything they can to torpedo that person, you can't even make a joke.

So you believe that Obama meant it when he promised the ObamaCare hearings would be broadcast on CSPAN and it just slipped his mind? Or when they faked the CBO numbers knowing well that it was going to cost trillions more yet they deliberately lied about the fake numbers that was just a slip as well?
Yep, were moving forward alright,
gas up 78.6%
Gold up 60.8%
Corn up 78.1%
Sugar up 167.9%
Soy Beans up 41.2%
Insurance premiums up 38.7%
Unemployment Black males up 35%
Unemployed up 24.2%
Long term Unemployed up 176%
US Money supply up 22%
National Debt. up 32.2%
Yep all forward, that is if you're in the business of destroying.
And they say there is no inflation because the reduction of the value of your house off sets the rise in the cost of gas, food, clothing, insurance. You see since the value of your home has gone down 32% in the last 2 years, that offsets the increase in the cost of everything else. Isn't that nice?

You realize inflation went down under Bush, right?

robertanton said...

Come on now Jim. How about numbers from 2008, at least, till now. Obama didnt take office till late Jan. 2009. You wanna blame him for the Bush term also?
2000? Wow!

You mean blame Bush for the housing market crash? The one created by Bill Clintons administration to push sub-prime loans on people tha tcouldn't afford them? Or for the insane budget Pelosi and Reid put up in 2007 that raised defeceit almost 20%.
BTW, the housing market crash didn't create inflation, it created deflation. The inflation has occurred TOTALLY under Obama's watch. Just so you know!

robertanton said...

One thing leads to another leads to another. I blame Bush for relaxing, and sometimes totally doing away with, oversight of these large companies which is what really lead to our current crisis.
Mortgages being traded and bet against, being sold and packaged as profitable when most were doomed to fail. It's called "derivatives" and now there are some controls on it.
Trust me, I'm sure you know there's more than enough blame to go around for Clinton, both Bushes, Obama, and the whole lot of Congress.
I would never blame one person for our plight, but I do know that only one president in recent memory inherited a billion + surplus and left with a few billion deficit.

I'm glad you remember that billion + surplus. I do remember that well. It was called "Contract with America" and Clinton fought it tooth and nail. I find it ironic that Democrats always point at that and seem to forget that it was forced on Clinton by Republicans.
I know tha tyou know that Congress spends the money, not the president. Presidents can have controll over policy that may influence spending, but ultimately congress makes the budget and spends the money.
BTW, did you realize that 80% of the defeceit was created when Democrats were in the majority in congress? Interesting number, huh?

Also I'm curious, because I had another Liberal try to tell me tha tthe financial crisis was all about derivatives and trading the millions of subprime loans that caused the bubble.
My question is where did the subprime loans (the cause of the problem)come from, and if there had been no subprime loans, what would the yhave packaged and sold that would have caused the crash?

It seems that if there were no subprime loans, there are no derivatives, there is no bubble and there is no crash. Right?
