how has it gotten worse in the last 3 years?
Not gotten better, sure, but how has Barak Obama been worse than GWB?
He has added half as much total debt in three years as the last 43 presidents combined.
I still hate Bush worse though.
This is what I was getting at. Remember him campaigning on ending the drug war?lied about backing off Med Marijuana

Just curious (putting the flame suit on), how was Bush "worse."<snip>
I still hate Bush worse though.
and I can still get high all I want-as long as I dont get caught, so I guess thats not really interfering in my rights. after all....government knows best.
Not one single dollar in new taxes should be introduced. Instead maybe part of the $2 billion dollar a year DEA go go to that, or the $5 billion plus dollar FDA budget could go to something worthwhile.
Db, stop being so naive.
Anyone with a four minute google search and the ability to put two and two together knows that Health care Costs are driven up out of the range of the average american by Insurance companies who raises premiums and lower copays to "cover future costs", Drug Makers who own patents on name brand medicine, and to a lesser extent hospitals who are trying to cover their asses from lawsuit losses. Scapegoating poor people who cant afford healthy food is the same as saying people are only poor cuz they are lazy and dont want to work. for shame.

Britain told us a sugar tax was a good idea and would help us too

Other groups thought it was no big deal when the government made laws that didnt make sense
"To live in this process is absolutely not to be able to notice it—please try to believe me—unless one has a much greater degree of political awareness, acuity, than most of us had ever had occasion to develop. Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, ‘regretted,’ that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning, unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these ‘little measures’ that no ‘patriotic German’ could resent must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head."-

Just curious (putting the flame suit on), how was Bush "worse."
Are you talking about regarding the war (remember Obama campaigned on withdrawing the troops--they're still there), regarding the debt (obama added multiple trillions in one year--more than Bush), regarding personal liberty (both sucked), regarding chrony-capitalism (Bush gave money to his cronies, so did Obama), etc.
Like I said, I'm curious to know how Bush is "worse." At the least, the things you "hate" Bush for are the very things Obama's doing just in different ways or slightly smaller or larger numbers.
funny thing bout that...obama brought home the troops from iraq. we should have never been there in the first place. saddam couldn't kill israelis with scud missiles, he sure as fuck wasn't a threat to the U.S.
iraqi war - 4500 dead americans, 100,000+ dead iraqis...
but your are correct, they are both cocksucking liars...
I have ZERO problem with them using unarmed drones on the border (with land owner permission).
Its when they are armed, the term "flying killer robots" seems more appropriate... and less numbing...
'border drones' should have IR lasers they can target border crossers with, to help HUMAN ground forces pinpoint their location.
Are you insinuating Dr Paul is against this?
NO CHANCE! That would defeat the point of drones, part of the control is you never know your being watch or about to be murdered for a mere suspicion.I have ZERO problem with them using unarmed drones on the border (with land owner permission).
Is that you giving all the anonymous rep, Mad?
A veteran of the Cold War-era, Paul raised more than $150,000 from active military in the fourth quarter. This comes after the Congressman outraised all GOP candidates -- including all GOPers combined, and President Obama singularly -- in the second and third quarters of last year. Dr. Paul also outraised his GOP competitors in a head-to-head comparison during his 2008 run for the presidency.
Especially notable is that Paul raised about triple the amount Obama received and about six times that of all currently-competing Republicans--Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Buddy Roemer, and Rick Santorum--combined.
funny thing bout that...
he followed the exact timeline set by bushie,but hey he is better somehow
