Fanatics,left and right, are whats sending this country to ruin. He is pretty much on target. Wing nuts of both parties are taking us down. I am lucky that I don't have to give a crap anymore. Let you wingers beat each other to smithereens and i hope you are all satisfied.

I agree with what he's saying, although I think the Democrats do the same thing when they aren't in power.

For instance, it was wrong for the Democrats to take all consideration of private accounts off the table when discussing Social Security reform, just as I agree it's wrong for the Republicans to even consider any tax increase to help us out of this huge deficit.

It's a shame when common sense becomes controversial.

He's right... The GOP is no longer a "normal" party... They will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...

Just keep doin' what yer doin'....

I just don't get how anyone who claims to be a conservative can seriously advocate ducking out on our debt. Sorry guys. We bought it, we need to pay for it. What happened to personal responsibility? The Republicans have an opportunity toforce substansive spending cha ges in exchamge for letting tax breaks that were demonstrably non-stimulative expire. Is looking like they are tough worth wrecking the economy further? What a bunch of fools.
