Dear GOP, Where's the Beef?

Our country is slowly recovering from a recession manufactured under a Republican President.  I am so tired of hearing what President Obama hasn't done.  I want to hear solutions from these candidates.  I don't want to hear about birth certificates and religion.  I want to hear about jobs, housing, rising healthcare costs, education and alternative energy initiatives.

But let's not stop there.  I don't want to hear about what you would like to do; I want to hear about how you will bring it to fruition.  I don't want to hear about where you stand, but about your track record on getting things done. 

If you don't put some meat on the table, I will be voting for President Obama.  And it better not be hamburger, because right now he's serving up steak.

Anyone can make promises and throw rocks, but do you have what it takes to continue to bring our country out of this recession?

Yes, the REPUBLICAN platform of the 1990's has been enacted (healthcare) or put forward (cap and trade) the last three and a half years.

What are the republicans screaming about? Or is it that they and the libertarians are NOT about policies, but about seizure of POWER and imposing dictatorial controls on the rest of us, the republicans at the national level, and the libertarains thru the states (see certain NVers on local tyranny- your friendly neighborhood fascist type of tyranny)

As a libertarian leaning Independent, I am appalled at the use of this falsehood to defame libertarians. Libertarians are enemies of tyranny and are strict followers of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If Libertarians were the majority then they would do more to protect the rights of the People. The two major parties in power now will not protect our rights and have no solutions to our problems.

    That explains why they call him the food stamp president. Steak for votes at the expense of someone else.

    No, Bush is the foodstamp president as more people went on food stamps under he. He is also the Planes crash into buildings president, the lost 9% of Gdp in his last Quarter President...

    you get a max of $200 on food stamps, which is only slightly above the lowest end cost to feed a person for a month.(which the government lists as being extremely frugal with purchases and using coupons and sales.)

    and I see you get your facts from republicans. Bush put more people on food stamps than any other president in history. Bush also spent more than Obama and more than doubled our debt when it was projected to be a surplus enough to pay all our debts.

    Unlike Bush, or Reagan, Obama ACTUALLY DID INHERIT A RECESSION FROM YOUR GUYS.

    If the right wing bull@!$%# wasnt bull@!$%# we should have never ever ever ever went into recession.

    DM, you might want to get informed, but I think you dont want to be, you would rather parrot rushism that have no facts behind them, much like the insane circus running for office.

    OF course the right would rather cut taxes for billionaires and then blame the resulting deficit on the poor and middle class. WHile they sell out the country for a buck.

    What's the beef? Repubs hate that slogan. Their motto: "Have it our way, or there is no way." The party of no will tell everyone in America, like it or not, but there will be no beef.

    If the truth be known: Our present economic state has been over forty years in the making and each and every citizen has had a hand in it. That is what it will take to turn it around, not the GOP, the Dems or any one individual but all 300,000,000 plus of us. Until that realization is made, we shall continue to founder.
