You confuse the national debt with the deficit.
The total for Bush is 2.5 trillion. If 5 trillion were common knowledge then there sure are a lot of misinformed people out there.

Deficit spending dude..... no confusion, it adds to our debt does it not?. Your boy spent 5 trillion of it and passed another 1.3 trillion to Obama for crying out loud.....

My boy? How do you figure? You assume that just because you like to spew opinion as fact and when anyone takes you to task for it you also assume that they take the opposite position as you do on all things. Bush is not my "Boy".
Please, where did anybody mention race?
Was that really necessary or even relevant?

In the context of my post, it fit quite well. The people who won't characterize the Obama Administrations spending as spending, or debt... these people do cry wolf rather a lot. Anyone who dares criticize the administration is called a racist and a bigot-monger. I am tired of it, as of a year ago.

you can criticize the administration all you want and wont be called a racist or bigot monger but you will be called a hypocrite. republics waste a shitload of money too. 2 wars started for no reason that we have spent billions of dollars on, while at the same time cutting taxes. democrat or republican they both spend money like its nothing for dumb shit all other the world but when we need money here in our own fucking country its nowhere to be found. so dont get all pissed off when the party you dont like starts spending money (especially when its spending money to make up for what your pres fucked up) . because they all do the same bullshit. its actually very sad to hear all republicans and democrats (politicians and the people) argue over this bullshit because they both do the same thing. very sad

1. You are in no position to dictate to other members what pisses them off.
2. Both parties engaged in deficit spending. I don't see anyone here denying that. Why does it make you sad that some members want the spending to end?
Deficit spending should end regardless of who holds power.
It's not good governance. In fact, it's downright irresponsible.
Anybody with any sense at all knows that if one digs oneself into a hole the first step is stop digging.

1. im not dictating what pisses anyone off. im saying that its asinine be mad if someone else's representatives do the same thing yours do.
2.it doesnt make me sad that some members want the spending to end. i said its sad that the repubs and dems keep blaming this shit on each other while doing the same thing when they are in office.
i agree that the spending should end regardless of who holds power. but to deny that your party had a lot to do with it and blame it on the other guys is retarded. where were all these repubs bitching about deficit spending when george bush was digging us an endless pitt of debt? nowhere they think that they do only good things and when dems do it they are wrong. and that goes both ways too im not trying to be anti repub. i dont like either party. thats why i said its sad they keep blaming things on each other when they both do the same damn thing.
"Anybody with any sense at all knows that if one digs oneself into a hole the first step is stop digging." yes i agree but try telling that to a politician . they dont understand this concept.
you basically misunderstood what i was saying but its ok. just feeling a little holier than thou today? happens to the best of us

You were the kid in Sunday School who accused other kids of keeping their eyes open during the prayer, right? The only problem was everyone then realized you must have opened your eyes, too. LOL!
The one doing the lecturing is correctly identified as behaving 'Holier than thou.'
I misunderstood nothing. Thou art the one admonishing members to not be pissed off.
Don't bother denying it because I quoted you doing precisely that in my previous post.
I merely pointed out that thou were not in a position to dictate to anyone what pisses them off.
All that aside, it seems we do agree that the deficit spending should cease.

anyone who throws republican, conservative, constitutionalist, libertarian, and tea-partier into the same exact category, just doesn't understand what all of these terms mean because HE DOESN"T UNDERSTAND OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM. stop getting all your news from stephen colbert, and give some actual support for you really fucking stupid comment.
Give the guy a break, hes from Canada. Canadians know fuck all about politics because their government is completely overrun by pussies who will cave into every single demand the US ever makes of it. Just don't forget, the USA tells Canada what to do, Canada has shit for say on the world stage. When the US says Canada needs to send its troops to Afghanistan, guess what Canada does? When the USA doesn't like what Canadian Citizens do on Canadian Land we make you hand them over to us so we can put them in prison, even though they never broke any laws. and guess what Canada does?

no drama my ass...
like Rachel Maddow would point out:
Ad homminem attack. he gives you a point.
you have no way to logically contradict him so you avoid the point completely and insult him. instead of addressing the point directly, you end up being insulting, and the point stays unresolved.
straight from the bill o'riley/FNC play book....
try again.... that was pretty sad.....

The entire point of the OP's post was to attack Republicans on this board. You are only defending him because you are a stark, raving mad liberal.no drama my ass...

That's right! I said it! Contradict what? If the OP was actually saying anything of value then I could maybe see your point but you are so caught up in this tennis match between left and right that you forgot that this thread has NO SUBSTANCE!
