this is the issue. republicans cannot be honest. dems may have called repubs the enemy but there is not one recent case where dems have promoted bringing fire arms to rallies, spoke about second amendment remedies, talked about taking "our" country back or called the opponent unamerican. this type of senseless ignorant baiting comes only from the right. dems may not be perfect but they are not asking their angry followers to arm themselves for revolution. there are no democratic bachmanns, no democratic becks, no democratic rushes, these are providence of the right, the tea party. once you guys admit that type of unfocused anger is an issue, you can grow up and help run the country like adults.

really? this is the person who conservatives want to represent us in the U.S. Congress? Really? I understand being angry and misplacing that anger on Reid, but Angle? You guys should be ashamed. I wouldn't vote for an idiot just to prove a point, I love the country too much.

here's the scary. people are willing to vote for Angle because she will vote NO on everything. i'm sorry but American used to be a place where we wanted to do things, go to the moon, build dams to put people to work, build interstate highways. i've asked this one before, repubs, what are YOU FOR? is it NO to everything? how do you progress by simply doing nothing? no to taxes, no to new buildings, no to insurance, no to raises for teachers, no to public schools, no to arenas, no, no, no. please, move away and go NO some place else. i'd like to build a great country and state by saying YES to progress, even if it requires paying higher taxes on my $100,000 a year plus income. yes to American Progress, no on Angle.

See? This is Republicans suck. Over 900 people to be employed and all you guys can do is complain? Very sad for the Angle supporters. If one of those jobs went to a family member and helped them stay in their home or pay the bills would it matter if it was "administrative"? Again, sad.

so what is government for, antiliberal? your can drink tap water and it's always on, the food is mostly safe to eat, your mail is always delivered, the schools stay open, the dmv is open, libraries are open and the military does it's job without hesitation. it would be nice if we asked you what government functions you enjoy and cut the rest but we'd like to live in a civilized society not anarchy. again, funny, repubs get into government because they think it's a mess and lo and behold, they make it a mess. maybe we should elect people who think government is essential to a functioning republic and then hold their feet to the fire to make it better. again, repubs, WHAT ARE YOU FOR? do you stand for anything other than less of everything? the world is going forward, governments and all, it would be fun if you could join us. and what is government waste? are you the arbiter of waste and abuse? i pay taxes too, even for the wars i didn't agree with and to support the governor i didn't vote for. you can't pick and choose to be a part of the country only when your sides in power. your side had it's day and 14.7% unemployment was the result.

funny, most people on the right didn't want stimulus, now all they can say is it didn't do enough, never happy are ya? it did save a bunch of teacher jobs..look it up. as a matter of fact, many governors are asking for more money to save more teacher jobs. and if you're working on those stimulus jobs, are you really concerned about the after cost? and why shouldn't we pay for public transportation with public money? question is, what do you want to DO? DO you want anything other than less of everything? what are you willing to pay for? again, back in the day, they built hoover dam, the reason vegas took off. today, you would complain if they tried to build anything like that with "public" money. you'd complain about the money to upkeep it. again, out of ideas, full of complaints. build yucca, build solar power plants, build green, build a real monorail system, with public money, build a arena, put people to work.

unions are to blame. wow. so we, as Americans, want to be the lowest paid workers on the earth? it's the union's fault that housing came crashing down. it's the union's fault that banking went bust. it's the union's fault that oil, the real culprit, was at $150 a barrel. again, out of ideas. what's really sad is that you want to cater to the lowest common denominator. actually, taxes in almost ever other industrialized country are higher than in America. worker wages are higher in Canada and Germany, two countries that are no longer in a recession, and Canada felt very little of the capital crisis. the real issue with china is currency rate, not worker productivity. we Americans are the most productive on the planet, yes, even unionized labor. it's not our work or our price, it's simply big business doing what it does best, looking out for itself. if you really want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being such fox new sheep. and really, before i go, ask yourselves, what does a working class person deserve? health benefits? a nice retirement after giving the best years of your life to your employer? decent pay so that you and your family have a little set aside for the bad times? really, don't working class people deserve anything or are we to simply pray at the alter of fox business news? oh, and i forgot, i ran a business, paid taxes and paid wages. and i'd pay higher taxes if it meant the recession in vegas was over and people got back to work at a wage they could support a family with.

really? debt? if you're worried about debt, raise taxes to cover the shortfall. china? it's a government run behemoth. all of their stimulus is government run with little input from those being governed. the stimulus fell short because it wasn't big enough. during the depression the government paid people to dig holes and fill them back in to get people to work and the economy running. we would never do that because we are worried about a "debt" crisis. the crisis is in ideas, of will of imagination not of "debt". talk about the "debt" the next time you decide we need a tax cut.
