From the article it looks like "socialism" and "capitalism" are just poorly defined, people still say they support a free market by something like 70%. If I had to guess for a reason I would say it's because the GOP is doing a lot of ranting and other nonsensical things but not bothering to explain why what they're saying is good and why the alternative is bad (other than them saying so).

So what you are saying is that all of the budgets proposed by these brain trusts will underestimate tax revenue this year? Shocking. Just raise taxes some more to make up the difference......Oh wait we just did that....well raise them again....Didn't Urkel just say last week that you have to pick on a group small enough not to hurt you politically? . Wait until the GDP forecasts for the Federal Budget are blown out of the water. But we will still here, "Look how many jobs we saved" even though there is no way to quantify this assinine idea.

Balta1701 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Eh, put this here rather than the Blago thread. Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s camp was told last year that U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) would raise up to $5 million in campaign cash for the ex-governor if he was appointed to President Obama’s U.S. Senate seat, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned. The overture came from at least two members of the local Indian community who approached the Blagojevich fund-raising team last fall, sources say. Besides the $5 million to be raised by Jackson, the proposal also included another $1 million for Blagojevich’s campaign fund that would come from Indian donors, sources say. This is the first revelation that a proposal for the Jackson appointment involved an alleged promise that he’d raise campaign cash for the ex-governor. Also, the amount of money allegedly offered to Blagojevich is significantly higher than what’s been reported so far. Sources did not disclose what role, if any, Jackson played in authorizing the offers to Blagojevich. Jackson has denied allowing anyone to make pay-to-play offers to the governor on his behalf. The congressman has been interviewed by authorities but has not been accused of wrongdoing. Details at link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The military probably has a 2:1 ratio of Republicans to Democrats and there are plenty of people that hate Obama although it's pretty subdued at my job from most people.

StrangeSox Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) There was some soldier who was going to refuse to obey orders from Obama because of that whole "forged BC!
