Default The right is going off the rails

I have heard a couple of things today that just shows how nuts the right is getting.

First you have Frank Gaffney bringing the old "Obama may be a Muslim" back again
The Washington Independent Frank Gaffney Is on the Case

And then you have another republicans Hugh Hewitt saying that people should boycott GM so it hurts Obama. And ofcourse he was jpoined by a chorus of moronic anti American retards

The right is completely nuts anymore. Well whats left of them.

That explains how we ended up with Barrack Hussein Obama. 'I'm closing Gitmo' is what they wanted to hear, but now the public doesn't agree.

'Free health care' is what they wanted to hear. Just wait till he starts taxing you for your employer provided health care benefits to pay for his socialist schemes.

How popular do you think that MASSIVE middle class tax hike is going to be?

The truth of one's actions eventually come back to haunt. We just have to let Obama keep digging the hole he's in. It's possible the House could change hands in just 2 years after this debacle of tax and spend liberalism. Of course, he's already chastising the Congress for not taxing enough to pay for his spending...

Americans are ****ing stupid, but no one is that ****ing stupid.

It sure does explain it,I couldn't agree more! However...as you may know,Gitmo was not the "only" issue like you make it out to be. Many Americans did not support a war of choice in Iraq.Also...BUSH never vetoed a "spending" bill and he spent like a wild man! So back to Gitmo...the public DID want it closed but this does not mean they supported housing terrorists "here" and I think you already know that.

I was not aware that Obama's plan called for free health care! Please enlighten us on this by supplying a link..

The Republicans had to answer for Bush and his policies by losing the election.The Democrats may face the same fate over Obama's policies.That's the way it works and will continue to work for some time to come.

So then relax a bit,he will be gone in just three short years.The people will turn their backs on the D's and the cycle will start all over again...unless...the economy mysteriously turns around in 3 years and voters like his foreign policy!..

in that case..your **** out of luck ...

Keep saying that after first admitting that Obama spending 4X as much.

Which means they blindly followed his poorly thought out plan. Now that people have actually thought about it, they realize he has no ****ing plan, just a campaign promise.

That's generally what people think they're getting when the government promises you an entitlement. Now I'm finding out that I will end up having to pay more for less.

Imagine that.
The first response is to try to change the thread to "let's bash Obama"...

I think it would be interesting to conduct a study.
Create a news article saying that OBAMA said we should boycott GM (for some parallel reason), and then watch the Obama haters rush to the feeding frenzy.
Correct the source, then hear the crickets chirp...

I would love to do that with the Republicans who wanted a time-table for Clinton, but not one for Bush, but those quotes are too well known.

I was never fond of the "Bush stole the election" b.s.
I can't help but wonder if this is something similar from the other side, or if it's truly jumping the rails and losing sight of reality.

At least with 9/11 disaster, it BROUGHT AMERICANS TOGETHER. Bush had an UNHEARD of record high approval rating.
Today? We have the Great Recession disaster. And it seems like it is a source for MORE division.

I can't help but think the Republicans side is worse in 2009, cause in 2000+ the whiny democrats were not being so indirectly insulting to generic non-partisan groups! But when they treat health care like it's not an issue, and you have Republicans and Democrats who have had their lives ruined by bankruptcy on such issues, it's kind of hard to ignore.
Hearing the executive editor of townhall.com calling for a boycott of GM? That can't leave a good taste in the GM worker mouth.

I comment on what forum members say, not what you wanted to talk about. If Spence is going to say it's all about regaining power by any means necessary, I'm certainly going to point out how President Obama lied through his ****ing teeth to secure the last election.

He said things that people wanted to hear but no one seems to care that he's not doing what he says.

The second response was in response to the first one. Follow the thread...

I was following the thread.
At the first excuse you could find, on a thread talking about the right-wing, you change the subject to the left-wing, IGNORING the comments on the right-wing.
See? I paid attention!

If I said "Jesus walked on water" in the religious thread, I'm sure you'll be first in line to complain about people on the left who think Obama walks on water...

I know he isn't promising FREE Health Care. But I like your point about what it will cost the taxpayers in the end. And even though I voted for Obama I two think he is digging one big hole for himself and doing it fast. I had more expectations for more to his "Yes We Can" change plan. More Transparency!

And more thinking about our approach with N.K. and Iran. I have seen several news stories about voters in Iran wanting better lifes, more improved world and American relationships. Some things need time before actions.

And the 16 months and out of Iraq. Just to name some of my disappointments. One other is he has become so much like the politician he campaigned against.
