Both things are true. One, GM is failing, despite the bailout. Two, rightwingers are palpably aroused at using the failure as ammunition against President Obama, despite the fact it hurts Americans.

They are not happy it failed. They are making sure voters know that it did fail. Ot is a disservice to America to pretend something worked instead of admitting that it didn't. You can read posts on here where people are trying to say it did work. They either have been lied to or are lying themselves. It is best to look at reality. If that means that your preconcieved notions about Obama were wrong, then be man enough to realize and admit it.
Like I just said, it's not about scoring points. It is showing the reality of what happened and offering a different choice. Why would anyone want to continue with policies that have clearly failed? Why wouldn't someone with different ideas point out the failure of what already happened? Obama can't seem to shut up about Bush's failures. But when his are pointed out people say it's just for political gain. Think about that. It's funny if you don't have an agenda to try and support.Quote:

Amen!Quote:

Now, if you genuinely wanted the country to succeed, why wouldn't you be reporting that "some good news has come down the turnpike," instead of stressing the bad, which isn't the news story?
As I posted before, comedian/party boss Rush I Want Big Gubment To Pay For MY Internet Porn Limbaugh has hoped that America would fail, and is coaching millions to do the same everyday. It sure plays out well on here, eh? ;)

I'd have more interest in these "different choices" if they actually existed with any semblance of substance, right now they don't.
No one said they wanted to cut taxes just for the super rich. They want to cut taxes for EVERYONE including the super rich. This basically boils down to looking at things yourself instead of how other people want you to look at it.Quote:

But unless you research it yourself, you would never know that.
As far as the safety net for poor people go, please explain what you mean. If you mean cutting out handouts for able-bodied people, then I agree with those cuts. If you have read something where Romney or Ryan have actually said that they want to punish people who are poor because of a disability of some sort, then show me that. Fact is, America has the richest "poor'"people in the entire world. If you are poor in Uganda, you starve. If you're poor in America, you get fat and blame others for not having a better grocery store in poor neighborhoods.
If you want to vote for Obama that's fine. But you will get what you've already got. It's a shame for the entire country that democrats didn't have a primary. I'm open to listen. I'm not open to giving a failure four more years.
