Bush administration ignored clear warnings

News flash:  Your hero is about to be inaugurated.

The "I like turtles zombie kid"?

Thank you for a wonderful year of amusement.

Is that what your silly avatar means?  I love what passes for humor on the Left.

BTW, get ready for the real jokes to begin once Obama is sworn in.

I will be looking forward to your rush limbaugh rehash.  Well, that's not entirely true..... I probably won't be looking at all. On the morning of November 5, 2008, what little remaining relevance you had just dissipated, and I lost interest.

Sorry

Game Over.

Such maturity and eloquence. Keep telling yourself those lies each night before you go to bed.

Indeed, when Obama finally takes this nation to the path of pure, unadulterated socialism, the game will be over.

Do the socialist countries seem to be suffering any worse than anyone else? Try to remember we are not pure capitalism or democracy and will spend our lives with our government in motion becoming more and less involved in our lives.

Yes.  People die every day as a result of socialized medicine as just one example.

Try to remember we are not pure capitalism or democracy and will spend our lives with our government in motion becoming more and less involved in our lives.

Hopefully more less than more.

You are so graceful in victory, midway.  Cant say I am surprised though. 

It reminds me of how someone once described liberals as unlovely people with unlovely ideas.

Hmmm, you must be forgetting countries like the old Soviet Union and Venezuela. Cuba is an example more closer to home. Those countries ALL have been worse than the US. Why does the US need to reduce its standards to be "equal" with those countries? And please don't mention China. They may manufacture goods that we buy, but that is because their citizens still live in POVERTY with being paid piss-poor wages, harsh working conditions, and a sad standard of living. They are a mere shadow of this country.

[JeffreyS]

CN none of those countries are socialist. I am a capitalist I am just saying if our policies were to become a little more like the French or Germans it wouldn't be game over.

[JeffreyS]

RG your point about socialized medicine is valid.

[Charleston native]

Communism is just the more extreme version of socialism, Jeffery. As for true socialist countries like France and even Canada, our nation still has a higher standard of living in comparison. RSG did make a great point about socialized medicine.

My main point is that the US should not change to failed policies due to an inept president like Bush.

RG your point about socialized medicine is valid.

true...but people die here every day because they didn't get proper preventive medicine also!

[Charleston native]

^ Wrong again. Many people in this country die every day because they didn't choose to use preventive medicine.

[tufsu1]

I suppose those people should have to apologize for choosing to put food on the table before paying $100+ for a 15 minute doctor's appointment!

Now...whether you think preventive medicine should be a right is a separate issue...but we can all agree that the the lack of proper preventive medicine has led to bigger problems and more ER visits....which clog the system...and since many of the people don't have insurance, it also adds to the overall costs of health care.

[BridgeTroll]

There is no doubt in my mind that universal health care will be on the agenda the next four years.  I look forward to the debate.  I wonder who will fall on their sword this time...
