Can you be more specific? What mess did Liberalism leave us in?
Stagflation, high taxes, high unemployment, losing the cold war, Iranian hostage crises and an overall negativity in this country.
That kind of stuff.
I am talking about Jimmy Carter...with every other president after his successor (Ronald Reagan) wreaping the benefits of conservatism.
So now.....
Here comes Billary...who plans to socialize medicine (1/7th of our economy) and a host of other "investment" programs that she herself said we couldn't afford.
That's why I beleive that Americans are about to get an object lesson, once again, on the perils of economic and social liberalism.
Hold on tight,

I am confident that Barak Obama will do the following
1. Roll back the Bush tax cuts. This will raise taxes on the poorest Americans by 100% as under GWB they were removed from the tax rolls, the next poorest Americans will see their taxes go up by 33% (they went from a 15% tax to a 10% tax.)
Obama doesn’t favor rolling back ALL of the Bush tax cuts. Only those tax cuts for the top 2% that don’t need them and didn’t ask for them.

2. The American military will become weaker, we will leave Iraq, Iraq will fall into the hands of people who hate us and those who are our allies in the area will feel abandoned and hate us too.
Obama favors handing responsibility of Iraq to the Iraqi people by beginning a staged pullout. He will then use those forces to stabilize Afghanistan by reinforcing our efforts there (we’re loosing ground in Afghanistan and few are talking about it). He will also kick efforts to find Bin Laden into overdrive. His proposal will also allow more time between deployments so as to not place too much stress on those serving in the military and their families.

3. FRANCE will be in charge of our foreign policy

4. we will move towards socalizing 1/5 of the American economy as we will get socalized healthcare.
We will move towards offering a national “health insurance” option, generating competition with the private insurers to bring down costs. He will also streamline health records keeping and negotiate prescription drug prices for the entire industry.

5. 2 brand new very young ultra liberals will be appointed to the Supreme Court causing
A. Criminals will be harder to convict
B. The supreme court will become an even stronger
"Legislative Body" that will create LAW from the
Bench, that will make it even harder for Small Business to function.
Most small businesses are being smashed and bought out by corporations who have lobbied for laws allowing them to do so. Pro-Corporate judges are the bain of small business. Small businesses actually get more support from Democrats than Republicans.
The Supreme Court will become no stronger than it is now. The only difference is that the Supreme Court will more often decide on the side of the people not the corporations.

6. We will never over turn Roe.
They will never overturn Roe. It’s merely a wedge issue to keep you voting Republican. If they overturn Roe you’ll starting thinking about other things like the economy and health care. They know that our convictions are so strong many of us will vote for a man who says he’s prolife even if he plans on selling our grandparents to China to assemble toys painted with lead based paints, letting all our jobs move to Mexico, and deregulating the banking industry with a scheme that will render millions of home owners homeless.

8. Limits on Free speech. (see the fairness doctrine)
All the fairness doctrine establishes is that controversial political issues be discussed in a fair and balanced manner using PUBLIC airwaves. For example, I’ve been sitting here all morning listening to AM talk radio. I’ve heard nearly four hours of a rightwing nutcase rant about things, half of which are distortions bordering on the comedic. Not one reputable liberal policy advisor or representative has been called on and given the floor to present their position. Instead this single man, paid well by the corporate media outlet, has ranted and ranted and ranted and ranted nothing but rightwing stuff…and then he defines the liberal position FOR ME. When a caller calls in to express a different view the host limits his time, berates him, side steps the issue and changes the subject. If the caller pushes through the effort to silence or spin what he has to say…the host hangs up on him or “accidentally” looses the caller. Next will be another right wing nut who asks for only three hours a day to brainwash me…but I’ve already heard four hours of this other guy. On the conservative “fair and balanced” news network they have a paid liberal on staff who only presents liberal talking points so the conservative can shoot them down and rant a bit so he sounds like he’s conquered the liberal position. Real dialogue doesn’t exist…it’s a combative format that is designed to be manipulative of the listener. The difference between “commentary” and actual “news facts” is completely absent. I think that’s junk dude. I believe in the right to free speech…but don’t abuse it. With free speech comes the responsibility to present things fairly and truthfully. I’d like to see the talk show circuit forced to be fair. Evidently, they don’t want you to hear the other side.
a Pro Choice candidate will appoint pro choice justices that will prevent any legislation to limit abortion.
Actually it is an option. The abortion rate dropped to a 30 year low (nearly 14%) under President Bill Clinton. Why? President Clinton did more to relieve middle and working class Americans, thereby leaving more people able to support having a baby. Clinton also pushed through more contraceptive coverage and the number of unplanned crisis pregnancies dropped. Both of these factors brought the abortion rate lower than it had been in 30 years.
I read on here how the abortion rates are lower in Western European countries than countries that have outright banned abortion. Again they focus on relieving families and providing contraceptives. These policies work. The question is, does one want abortion banned without regard for the abortion rates or does one want to actually reduce the number of abortions?
When compared, more babies were aborted under the Reagan/Bush I Administrations than the Clinton Administration. I know it’s counterintuitive but it’s true.
Would you rather live in a country where abortion was very rare but legal, or a country where abortion was restricted by law but the abortion rate was quite high?
THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE IS AN ATTACK ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT!
If liberals want on the radio SAY SOMETHING THAT WILL GET AN AUDIENCE
Dont go around legislating that conservitive have to say what you want them to say.
Fairness doctrine is the ONLY thing that will get me to march on Washington.
Why don't you want the population to hear the other side of various issues? A Conservative can say whatever they like. All that's asked is that they present equal time to the opposition so that the American people see both sides of all issues.
Obama doesn’t favor rolling back ALL of the Bush tax cuts. Only those tax cuts for the top 2% that don’t need them and didn’t ask for them.

Spoken like a true die-hard liberal, I'll give you that much. So this just comes down to what we want as president. Part of this post is speculation which makes it unbelievable, part of it is opinion, part of it is debatable and the rest is true. Thing is, I don't want any of it, thus the typical conservative vs liberal debate. So we will have to agree to disagree.

We didn't chose to turn off the radio, America did.
What does that tell you.

Americans are smart enough to hear both sides of the issues and vote for what is best. Many conservatives don't want people hearing anything that challenges the bark of corporate bulldogs. The truth is...yall don't think Americans are smart enough to think for themselves without conservatives defining EVERYTHING. Sometimes the Liberals are wrong, plain and simple. But allow the people to turn them off...don't silence the opposition. The fear is that on some issues the Liberals may be right and the American people, if they heard their position, would agree. This isn't Communist Russia.

WOW, we have been saying this about CNN, MSNBC,CBS,ABC,NBC, for years, all these outlets have been doing this on your side forever, now FOX steps up and does the same thing for the other side and you all start crying foul. Typical.
