  I think liberals and Conservatives alike are pleased with the results of the day, why turn it into partisan argument Francis?

  Were the last three sentences really neccesary it Francis?

  Steve, not for nothing, but it is called propaganda, not "propagander." With that said, I make plenty of mistakes, so who's the criticize.
  All that the Republican House proposes is repeal of the Affordable Healthcare act, over and over again. Plus a voucher system for Medicare! The Republican plateform was soundly rejected in November, so the "who is us" is the American voters.
  Read up, the Republican Party is fundamentally flawed. They are admitting it themselves, just ask Karl Rove. You are a fractured group, with no clear direction. From immigration to gay marriage to gun control to taxes and spending, Republicans are all over the map. The fact you still hold Reaganomics in such a high regard suggests you're an old school Republican. You should be appalled what this new wave of Tea Party extremists have done to your party! You better think long and hard about why conservatives continue to be marginalized, or the party will continue to lose the popular vote in every election! Here's a little suggestion Steve, following the Tea Baggers further right will destroy whatever is left of the GOP! But, have at it if you must!

  The facts are, Reagan did raise taxes and did increase the deficit, both taboo in today's conversation.
  The cold war was ending, no matter who was president, and the recession he inherited from Carter was nowhere near the disaster as what Obama walked into.

  Steve is no supporter of Bush, yet like most conservatives, while Bush was running up the deficit, he most likely remain quiet, not daring to speak out and be considered"unpatriotic."
  Steve, conservatives will only speak out against deficit spending if a Democrat is in office! Reagan was the forefather of deficit spending, and he is revered as your "Great Leader," that should tell you something! He also raised taxes 11 times after his initial cut. Ayn Rand and her self centered summit would not be happy!

  Regardless of what side of the isle you chose, having an ex senator as high school graduation speaker is an honor!
  One may not agree with his politics, but our seniors have much to learn from a man person such as Scott Brown.

  The "Great Leader Ronald Reagan." The same great leader who never saw a deficit he didn't like, and actually increased taxes when the trickle down didn't trickle fast enough? Is that the "great leader" you worship? No worry, we understand Steve!
  Republicans try and try, but history keeps biting them!

  I make no such case for socialism. I have no problem with people making good money. The problem with conservatives is they don't feel they need to pay anything back to a society. It's the Ayn Rand, take all you can get, mentality. And screw everyone else. Some society!
  Perhaps while I'm talking to Mike, you and Barrett can get together, wave your flags, and try to justify why companies that are supposed be independent rely so heavily on government assistance under the disguise of free enterprise!

  Sorry Steve, the Socialist argument is total crap. Capitalism left unchecked is not the solution either, with the income disparity greater than any time in memory.
  Republicans believe people should be able to survive on minimum wage and be happy with it, while a select few, the ones with the power to win election, run the country.
  Let me ask you Steve, if balancing the budget and reducing the deficit are so important to conservatives, why do they resist reductions to the Pentagon, which is notoriously inefficient. Most conservatives will simply write as blank check, for fear if they don't, their "patriotism" might be questioned. That and the fact there's a boatload of money to be made off the contracts. Taxpayer money that is, but that apparently doesn't matter as long as they're waving their flag!
  Question the speed of the recovery all you want, but considering Republicans (ask Mich McConnell) spent four years intentionally sabotaging the economy in and effort to make Obama a "one term President," we're not in bad shape!
  And as for your post to Mike, about Bush 4 trillion to Obama's 7. Obama had to deal with the wars Bush started, and the tax cuts we obviously couldn't afford, as well as pull us out to recession/depression the Bush administration drove us into! A tall order to be sure!

  Steve, he spent and we came out of the recession. Did he really need to invade Irag to protect your children Steve, Really? The whole war was one big lie, still being defended by some to this day, ridiculous!
  Talk about waste Steve, what will be the final cost of that rouse. And over 4000 of somebody else's kids died for no damn reason.
  Is the Republican Party that arrogant as to forget their role, sadly, it would appear so. Happy 10th anniversary George, Donald and Dick. You left American a badly damaged nation!
