Even if you don't agree with the Democrats' plans - universal healthcare, cap-and-trade, card check - at least they HAVE ideas.
Well I give them credit for the shotgun style of socialism. Flood massive amounts of crappy ideas with the hope a few of them stick to something then swear up and down the ones that get positive poll data were their true goals.
Let me ask you a question.......do you really think any of those things are "THEIR" ideas? Cap and trade was already put to use in Europe and is a dismal failure. All reports show that even if Americans froze current use levels instead of increase as we will do even with cap and trade, China's use will more than double in ten years so cap and trade is only one thing, a way to make money for the liberals who will be running it. Cap and trade will tripple energy costs for a very large segment of the poor in this Country when at the same time the poor are in tougher times every day. Why would an administration who ran on the idea of helping the poor turn around and hurt them instead?
Because Obama and company will make billions off of cap and trade, that is all that matters to them.
Universal healthcare was an old idea when Hillary Clinton promised it to us during Bill's first term in office.
Liberals do not have ideas, they have goals of creating a socialist Nation and making money for themselves, nothing else.
Being in the "minority" is not an excuse. If anything, this should be THE time for Republicans to start coming up with innovative initiatives to its party energized.
Innovative ideas like keeping what you earn?
What kind of ideas do you want them to come up with? When you say ideas you mean spend more tax money. Conservatives do not want to increase taxes so why would they want to make new programs that cost more money?
The idea was always to do what is right, not what is popular, at least that was the founding Father's idea.
I will say this, everyone is from one degree or another wanting to be socialist. Even you RO is talking about how Republicans have to buy votes with fancy or shiny ideas (welfare programs) to be popular.
And your right. No longer do people think self-reliance is the most important trait. It is all about what someone will give you or they suck.
Hugo,
Bush the latest was not a Conservative, he might have been a member of the Republican party but that same liberal you speak of who was run for office wrote the amnesty bill that Bush fully endorsed.
Bush was a Liberal at heart, that is why he presided over the largest increase in Government ever seen before Obama was in office for two months. Obama has outdone 8 years of Bush in just a couple months in wasted tax dollars and increase in Government powers over our every day lives.
We will get the health care bill, but most of the cost from that will not be seen until more and more people sign up for it. It is estimated to compound in cost over and over again in the 4 to 5 year range where it is expected to cost well over 10 trillion dollars and keep climbing more and more.
Right now China has requested a meeting that will happen the end of this month and many are saying they are scared Obama is going to bankrupt America with this healthcare bill and that means the debt their holding is in trouble.
The question is always, where will the money come from?
Right now they are talking about massive increases in taxes for the "rich" but that will take care of about 7% of the total cost, so where does the rest of the money come from? Who pays?
Everyone turn your pointer finger at yourself and you will see where the money is comming from.
