    Yup, a lot of folks in the US are hoping for the same thing. Put that country back on the right track the way it was before the last election. The Republican's, really know how to run a country, wars and the economy. Good days.

    I don't think any logical thinking person wants this...... "the way it was before the election"?? Nah. Why? When we can make it better? But, the Dems are making things worse, that's for sure. I don't know how to convince someone from Canada or anyone else who doesn't see this, for that matter, but things DO have to change for the better. Even someone like Chris Matthews (aka Obama's Lapdog) is starting to come around......

    You say this like the Republicans were in control before President Obama was elected, but if you will take a look at the previous page, you will see that the last several years of the Bush administration, when the economy fell into the proverbial crapper, there was only 1 Republican in control. Both houses of congress were controlled by the Democrats... I know it's easier to attack the Republicans because you disagree with them more, but to be honest, more liberal policies led to this melt down and are now prolonging it.

    I do think many articles were given to you here on reasons for the meltdown/financial crisis, ect. You proceeded to discredit or refuse all of them with counter articles. There are two sides to every story...and then the truth. I do not think you and I will ever fully know the latter, and I think the sides we come from prevent any agreed upon truth to us. With those reasons...is it really worth it for me to try and convince you of something you know you hold an opinion on that you will not waiver from?

    Facist is my opinion as well. "The New Right" as I call them display alot of the tenents of facism----some of which I will say I agree with. The ideas of a very strong leader, singular identity (aka minimalizing diversity), ending the idea of class (thus ignoring the lower classes and possible needs), hatred of liberalism, constant though of decline (ie the country as we know it is ending and needs to be taken back).....again some I can agree, some scare the $hit out of me. One difference is the religious side to the current New Right, but that still remains at odds with other factions of the New Right....however even they are working toward some type of compromise, to again secure that single national identity.

    Concerning Republicans sharing responsibility for this mess, I'd like to refer you to the letter published by Wes Benedict of the Libertarian Party, September 24, 2010, indicating that the Republicans owe an apology, not a pledge. I'm no good at links, but I think you can find this at info@lp.org. An opinion from another source than the so-called "liberals". Of course, it may be a mistake on my part to resurrect this thread. :)

    No, you missed the point of my post entirely. I'm not saying Republicans don't share the blame because god knows they do. Moderate conservatives like President Bush, Lindsey Graham, Olympia Snow, and a host of others are as much to blame as anyone. My point was to blame the Republicans for being in power was incorrect. The Democrats have held a majority in both houses of congress for several years.

    Your right about Dem's holding the majority, though sadly not all dems are on board. there's a good 5-7 of them that are what one could call bribed, or so in bed with the industry they vote for them all the time. Since there is a super majority 60 votes are needed and with that almost nothing gets passed that isn't peddled and watered down.
