Elaborate please. How are they weak on everything? Are they suggesting letting anyone walk onto an airplane with out security checks? Have they shut down DHS? Have they borrowed every cent from SS and let old people starve? All this "Only Republicans know what they are doing" rant is getting old.

I just watched Michael Brown (you remember, FEMA, Katrina, New Orleans, ect.) on the Colbert Report. He made a pretty convincing argument that it was bungling (let's call it weak leadership) by this administration that was responsable for the whole mess after Katrina.

More convincing than Louis Farrakhan?

(Ya know, what's scary is that I work with a guy who has bought into that tripe hook, line and sinker...and he votes.)

The only political party worse than the republicans at this point is the democrats...

One has no choice but to vote for republicans or a democrat might get in.

The Republicans have controlled the White House and the Congress for how many years?

If they we're truly interested in changing the status quo, they would. As it is now, they seem quite content to leave things as they are and blame the Democrats.

Sure, true, but they have not put anything new on the books, and some notable dems keep pushing for a renewed and expanded assault rifle ban, etc.

I don't believe there is 1 elected official in the country , from your local Rep. to the president of the U.S that gives 2 cents for the American people as a whole. Only what can get them elected and what can keep them elected.

Up until about a year ago I paid attention to things in the news. When my Mom got really sick and started to fade , I didn't have time for it. And you know what? I learned that things in the news, the bad things that are reported and all the crap that is spilled out to us on a daily basis is NOTHING. My family. Thats what means the world to me.

IRAQ? I bought into it. I think we have done WAY WAY more good than bad there. I believe the world IS better for what has happened there. The troops have my undying support. As a VET I understand some of what they are facing. All be it on a smaller scale.

IRAN? NUKES? could care less. Who they gonna shoot at? ME? Doubt it. I'm sure TEXAS isn't on the BIG list of important places to hit. Is it a concern? Guesss it should be , but I really can't get all shook up over it.

Katrina?? ROFLMBO. Blame the POTUS and his admin. Right. Lets see , they had like 5 - 6 days warning on every national news station in the US warning em? And I am supposed to feel sorry for them? NO WAY. Oh I hjear the "Some people couldn't leave" bit. B.C.. It wasn't the FEDERAL governments fault that 1000's stayed there and then had to reap what they got. Its all about I screwed up and Im gonna blame someone else for my stupidity. The LOCAL and STATE governments are the REAL blame. Not the POTUS. But...stupid people can't [possibly take the blame for being that way now can they.

Immagration? WTH do I care about that either. Thier here illeagally and gonna stay here and get a free handout. Free pass. Free healthcare. No taxes. Does it affect me? Prolly. But the people I elected and put into power aren't going to do a DANG thing about it or for me. SO , screw em. When they lose the next election cause they let 12million aliens come here and vote they deserve what they get. I'll still go to work , eran a living for my family and play a lil golf here and there.

Now some may say..."RedTop , thats having your head in the sand" I say Nope.....Thats the politicians and leadership of this nation having the heads up there butts and not having the balls to do the right things by the very people they CLAIMED they wanted to help.

Screw the politicians and all the friggin stand for.

Screw the Media for never telling me and mine the truth.
