I despise those politicians that are destroying our country.

Primarily, it has been the radical Republican Party with their control of the propaganda. But the Democrats are not blameless. In their silence, they are complicit.

No one had the guts to stand up and say we need to cut the defense budget by 50% immediately. We need to get out of these wars. Our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan is doing nothing to stop terrorism or those that might be planning a dirty bomb in another part of the world. It was folly to go into that forsaken country and it is even more foolish to stay.

No one had the guts, before the last election, to stand up and scream, "Let the Bush taxcuts expire!" Now we have these nuts spread throughout every state spouting their elitist "revolutionary" message. I blame no one but the Democrats for this.

The Republicans must be called on their lies. Barack Obama has not spent more than George W Bush and the Republicans. He inherited a deficit of $1.3 trillion dollars. Once again, like every time before, the Republicans get the old time religion on budget deficits - until they get into the White House again. At the very least, the Democrats should call them on their lies. At the present time, I have little respect for either Party.

5. The messages coming from our politicians over the last few years are laughable.

I won't go all the way back to the "Iraq has WMD's and will be attacking so we need to bomb them into oblivion" or "Tax cuts for the rich create jobs" because most people don't care about what happened prior to the last episode of Glee. But, when the Republicans - with lots of help from the Democrats - cut taxes while they're on a spending spree for two wars bringing about a record breaking deficit suddenly slam on the brakes and scream "WE'RE BROKE!!" ...how can the American public not laugh in their faces?
Predictably, the Republicans would never dream of cutting the bloated, wasteful military budget or raising taxes on the rich to bring down the deficit. They won't even acknowledge that these things played any part in the current red ink. They claim the only way to solve the country's ills are to cut social programs and "entitlements". The worst part of all is how Democrats and the media are nodding in agreement while knitting their brows and regretting that we all have to "sacrifice" to bring spending under control.
REALLY? REALLY???
I would love it if the next time any politician spouts this garbage in front of an audience..that the audience collectively stands up and starts laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing.......
