I just talked to a Republican. He said, "All the technology we enjoy today; you can thank the Apollo program, and our missions to the Moon in the 1960's." I asked, "You think some goob-mint program did all that?" He said, "America's greatest moment was when Neil Armstrong planted the flag on the moon!" I told him, "For every scientist and engineer at NASA there were at least a hundred scientists and engineers employed in the dreaded private sector." The Republican said, "It does not matter."

The 2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain proposed a $300 billion mortgage relief program. Isn't this yet another Republican Marxian wealth redistribution program that was four times LARGER than Obama's $75 billion program? Read about the Republican Marxist program here; http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE4932E920081008 Let's be frank, John McCain's mortgage relief program was another Republican-Marxist wealth redistribution plan that planned to redistribute wealth from those who could afford their house to those who bought more house than they can afford. And by extension, all those who voted for him are Marxists or to say they at least have Marxian tendencies. Are we clear?

Let's talk about insurance and the AIG Republican sponsored teat suck. "Bush defends Fed's decision to bail out AIG" http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/sep/18/wallstreet.georgebush "The AIG rescue was the fourth taxpayer-funded bailout of the year by the Bush administration, although at odds with Bush's free-market ideology and economic policies. Critics of the recent bailouts have said taxpayers should not foot the bill for investors' bad business decisions." Republicans say their bailouts are for the good of the country. Who gets to decide what is good for the country? Joseph Stalin started the collective farm system in the USSR in the early 1930's because he said it was for the 'good of the country.'

Read Hank Paulson's book "On the Brink." We socialized the American financial system under a Republican administration! George W. Bush, Hank Paulson and the Republican administration told top bankers in the fall of 2008, that "they would have to accept government investment for the good of the American financial system." Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's socialist president, found this a stunning move. He said, "Bush is to the left of me now!, Comrade Bush announced he will buy shares in private banks. Viva La Revolution!" http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE49F0K720081016 America did DE-socialize the financial system under Obama.

Let's not forget the Republicans have a long, long history of their own Socialism. Here's one small example. Republicans believe in bailing out large companies with flawed business models. http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/22/rec.airline.deal "President Bush signed into law an emergency aid package for the U.S. airline industry Saturday, saying that 'the terrorists who attacked our country on September 11th will not shut down our vital businesses or thwart our way of life.'" Once again, a Republican would call this a 'necessary capital infusion.' A true conservative would call this the 'Marxist redistribution of wealth from the American taxpayer to large stock exchange listed companies.'

You Republicans forget that George W. Bush was the first president to socialize the auto industry. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1208/16740.html George W. Bush announces $17.4 billion auto bailout. The plan includes taxpayer assistance for GM and Chrysler in return for radical restructuring.

For the first time I am afraid of what can happen in our politics. You have Cain and Perry each of which have said that God called them to be president. Then you have this crazy born again Evangelical who wants to lead us in her version of the bible. Crazy fanatical Evangelicals and Born Agains will lead us right into war with the Muslim World. . And why, well to fulfill God's promise to the Israelites, that they will have the land that we call the West Bank but that they call Sumaria and Judea. Don't let these crazies with their dreams and hopes and belief that the rapture and Armageddon will come as soon as prophesy is fulfilled have anything to do with foreign policy or diplomacy.

When Waterboarding is acceptable, any moral superiority that the US has claimed becomes a joke. and is gone period. Who chooses who gets water boarded. Bachmann or is it an enlisted guy in Afghanistan, or is it a local cop who thinks he may have just arrested a child molester? What has happened to the "Moral Majority", the so called "Christian Right"? They seem to love the idea of waterboarding and make no moral distinction regarding it. Bamboo slivers driven under the fingernails is also a good "interrogation technique" Cheney would call it "Enhanced Interrogation". Its like calling an atomic bomb a "fireworks display".

I mean, just how much 'Drill here, Drill now' legislation was passed during the entire George W. Bush eight year 'Reign of Error?'

One of the things our armed forces, and as a nation have prided ourselves in is that we do not torture. When you wrap a man's head in Saran wrap, so that he cannot breathe through his nose, then punch a quarter sized hole where his mouth is, then start pouring water into his mouth so that he has to breathe in water to live- What is that? What has happened to us as a nation when we have major political figures who find this moral? Bachman and Cheney believe its not torture unless you do it until the victim has "organ failure". Cheney got 5 college deferments, never served and Bachman also was never in the military.
