Well so far President Obama has stopped the recession and if he keeps on track by 2012 hopefully the economy will be in good shape. And that 600 dollar stimulus check you're thinking of was passed by Bush.
In looking thru the posts made by CC it is obvious that he has no idea of conservative principles. Or maybe he does, but does not believe in them. However it shakes out, CC is no conservative. With apologies to Lloyd Bentson, let me say, I know conservatives, many of my friends are conservatives, and you sir are no conservative.
If you read the Federalist Papers, or the Constitution, you should know that there are limited powers given (by the people) to the government. They are very specific and nowhere is mentioned bank bailouts, federalization of the banking industry, no bailouts for auto companies. In fact, there are very few government programs that fall under the scope of the Constitution. Certainly Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac don't qualify, yet with these agencies the Federal Government will hold close to 40% of home mortgages in America.
In the last ten months, the Federal Reserve has doubled the amount of currency in circulation, for the first time there is discussion of moving the international standard of valuation for oil to something other than the US dollar.
Obama is systematically dismantling the bill of rights, and will soon engage in censorship of talk radio.
I could go on for hours here, but anyone who thinks this president is doing a good job is: a) stoned WAY too much, 2) not paying attention, or III) just a dumb shit lame brain liberal who is behind this program.
This CC posting follows the outline for seminar callers on the radio. Claim to be a long standing Republican, conservative who is just so impressed with this new President that they just have to give him credit. Bullshit.
No true conservative would support the things going on in America. Perhaps a Lloyd Graham conservative, or perhaps an Arlen Specter conservative. But certainly not a Reagan Conservative as I am, and apparently many, many others here as well.
Don't get me wrong CC. You have every right to state your opinion and I enjoy a good discussion, but don't pretend to be something you are not. You don't express conservative ideas. Perhaps you feel that by moving conservatism to the left it brings Obama closer to the center. Whatever the motivation, claiming to be something that you are not only reduces your credibility and makes your statements unbelievable.
Standing by for the personal attacks that are sure to follow from the libs...
I don't know who said it first but, if you are not a liberal when you are young, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative when you are old, you have no brain.
