Dano raises the obvious: We already HAD a Democrat Senate

TheDanold said:
It seems crazy to see how many people from all parties think we would see some real change for the better with turning congress back over to the Dems. After Jim Jeffords defected in 2001, the next almost 2 years, the senate was in the hands of Democrats under Tom Daschle and THIS was the period of the largest amount of spending under Bush.
Spending went down (or rather did not increase by as high percentages) after the election of 2002 and even moreso after 2004 with 55 Repubs.
Right now we have seen a senate that though not evenly divided in party, IS evenly divided by ideology with northeast Repubs like Snowe, Collins, Chafee, etc... voting more with Dems on spending issues.

And that would be why right now we see a "do-nothing" (which is a good thing) senate that is no longer passing big spending increases. If we could only get more Conservative Repubs we would start to see spending decreases, but instead it looks like more Liberal Dems will again push the senate right back to what it was in the early years of Bush's presidency which is a spending spree of a Congress.

Chafee is no longer a senator. That leaves Snow and Collins, basically, as the only two "liberal" Republicans, and they're still more conservative than any Democrat. "53-47" - OH the torture!

Real conservatism is about personal responsibility.

Unfortunately, Republicanism is about expanding govt. control, spending your children's future, increasing fines for dirty words on T.V., turning our country into a police state, and supporting nambla.

NAMBLA, good organization there.

Well, to be entirely serious, NAMBLA doesn't exist anymore.
 
Good Lord...........

Deeply disturbing.

Why are you being such an idiot, BB? Just because Barney Franks believes in outing gay and pedophile Republicans doesn't mean you should slander him.
 
It is not slander..............

The truth is that there was no evidence that Frank participated in the activity. So, when you say that "Barney ran an outcall service for gays from his home" you are lying and possibly slandering the man.
 
Yeah, it all went on under his nose. It was hard to tell with all the prostitutes he was hanging around with all the time...

:rolleyes:

This is as unrealistic as Nixon and his "I am not a crook" speech.

Asshat, the matter was investigated by the House Ethics Committee. Perhaps you have evidence that Frank "ran" a gay prostitution ring that no one else has. I f so please share it. Otherwise, what I said is accurate.

Whether you believe it or not is your own decision, but as far as evidence is concerned there isn't any.

I am not Asshat. And you, as well as I, know that investigations do not always turn up evidence of something that is clear by simple logical thought.

I believe it would be almost impossible for him not to realize it was happening right there in his own home. Now whether or not he "ran" it doesn't change that I believe that he turned a blind eye toward it.

Sorry. I confused you with someone else.

Anyway, I was addressing the assertion that Frank "ran an outcall service for gays from his home." Your beliefs, while interesting and thought provoking, have nothing to do with it.

Not anymore!
Now that the Dems have had a year, we can see we are on a bigger spending path.

The difference is that everyone knows the (R) is supposed to be against big govt. and the (D) is for big govt.

THe (D) is just acting like everyone expected.

The (R) totally sold out like they do everytime they are in control.
