We Have a Democrat President and a Democrat Majority in Congress...GRRRR!!

I don't blame you for being irked especially when it's someone who knows better. My thing in this thread is that I don't care if someone doesn't want to belong to it or if they like it or not, but they can at least describe it right - the Democratic Party...lol! Annie

I agree, this is an extremely petty issue to be bickering over. The funny thing is that in the most technical sense, the discussion actually violates the mylot TOS.

with all the problems this nation is facing....people tend to bicker about the dumbest things...... maybe that's what the problem is....all the bickering is intended to keep our focus off the big problems, because the powers that be don't want to accept the task of finding real solutions for them.... bicker onward!!!

How so, how does this discussion violate the Mylot rules? Petty or not, Anniepea is correct. However, to get away from the irritant, Americans could say "we have a Democrat as President and the majority in Congress consits of Democrats. Since America is a democracy it should be a foregone conclusion that all of the above are democratic.

Hey, at least Obama is trying to make things better for people in the US. Bush only wanted wars with other countries. Obama wants everyone to have health care. I want health care, not war.

Too bad congress doesn't think that. All they care about is how much money the lobbyists are paying them and how can they vote to get more of it. Face it.....they don't care about us. They pay us lip serivce and that's about it. I am not a republican. I am not a democrat. YOu want to know why? Neither party knows what the word bipartisan means in any true sense of the word and neither knows what fiscal responsibilty is. It has all turned into a big game of who can trash who the most. A big sad jerry springer episode. Both sides have behaved childishly and immature. Both sides ahve done dirty dealings. Obama does not seem about to do anything about it. WHy? Because Pelosi and Reid are the ring leaders in it all and he is not able to stop them. Who put in the stimulus bill that corporations could use hte bail out money to pay CEOs multi million dollars bonuses. Snuck it at the last minuate.....Reid. And the CEO turned around and donated HUGE bucks to his re-election campagin bank accounts. Who has been the poster child of not being partisan? Pelosi. Her famous words of "we won teh election so we write the bill" have come back to haunt her. That stimulus bill was horrible. They rushed it and left too many loop holes and paid out more american dollars to wasteful BS than imaginable. SHe could care less about compromise or being fair. She wantes her way for the highway. Her behavior has been so much less than perfessional. I really exspected more out of the fist female speaker of the house. I don't care what letter (r) or (d) is beside a candiates name. As long as they are honest, and will do the best the can for the american public. ANd not spend their days playing political games, back bitting, making back door deals and voting how the lobbyist wants and ignoring the american public. Bush was bad. I will agree 100% with you. I don't know about Obama yet. Too early to tell. But I will tell the current congress we have is about as bad as it gets.

They're all on the same team...against US.

jb78000 I think the consequences would be less money needed for abortions!!!! Which IMO means it is a plus ...no tax dollars for abortions. If anyone wants an abortion they should pay for it themselves.or in the case of rape victims the rapist should foot the bill.

so what are the consequences of same gender marriages suspenseful?

And should independent politicians be referred to as independentic?

Uhhh...no fair, Kitty, I didn't make up our goofy English language, I just butcher it...lol! Annie

I'm just funnin' with you.

Kind of like that Jenkins woman who claimed she'd never heard of "The Great White Hope" being used in a racial context even though she'd supported a bill dealing with the fighter behind the original use of the phrase; her excuse then was that she hadn't read the bill. Both sides are guilty of that one! Annie

I have to agree with you on that one. SOmeone needs to remind them it is actually in their job discription to read the bill in full BEFORE voting. It is a basic job function for them.......yet they can not fullfill it. It would think it would be a no brainer for them. BUt then again......

Oh I agree annie. Both sides are guilty. But when do we say enough is enough and hold both sides accountable for the BASIC job functions that they are FAILING to proform. I am all for throwing them ALL out and starting over with a fresh bunch.

Well, you may not like them but at least you said their name right, which is what this discussion is about. In case anyone still doesn't realize it, my "GRRRR" in the subject wasn't because of who's in power but because of those who can't say it correctly...lol! I guess my little rant about one of my pet peeves kind of fizzled out. Annie

Good point, it just "rolls off the tongue"! That's always been my point, to say "Democrat Party" just doesn't sound right at all. Annie
