Ok, I'm not disagreeing with you

Maybe I should not have even posted. I'm not arguing with you about percentages of it being pork or not and what the pubs are replacing it with or anything like that. I'm not arguing because truthfully I have no idea. I have not read the bill/proposal or any of it. All my original post was about was that I thought what McCain said made sense. Even though I didn't vote for him, I believe what he was saying on C-span made sense that the Americans know what's going on and we are not happy about it. I have not posted on this board and I don't have time to read through everyone else's posts.
As for Obama's economic plan - this is not what he laid out in his campaign. Granted, I could possibly be wrong and if I am I am sorry, but, during his speeches I don't ever remember him saying that he would be approving a bill that taxpayers would be paying for dog parks, frisbee parks, new office furniture, etc. Granted I am not 100% familiar with this whole bill thing. My only comment was that I watched what McCain had to say and I believe (and still do believe) that I'll bet you any money if McCain was a democrat they would have passed what he presented.
So, I'll be the first to admit that it's not perfect, I don't know all the ins and outs of it, I was just saying that I liked what McCain presented and unfortunately I think the democrats will get their way and we will be paying for them to refurnish their offices and stuff like that. Maybe you don't mind paying for that kind of stuff, but I would rather my taxes go for other important stuff.
This post has spurred me on to read more about it because I would like to know if we are going to be getting the tax cuts we were promised during the campaign.
Seeing as I'm a registered democrat I hope that the democrats will do good for the American people, but just the little snippets I have been hearing I don't think so (I'm listening to MSNBC).
P.S. - I may be a democrat but I do also agree with some of the republicans (and disagree with some of the democrats). I'm not one side or the other. Think both sides have good and bad to them.
On the outside (of this board that is) what I'm finding is that most American are not fed up with the pubs holding up the bill, they are fed up with not being told the truth by the politicians - both sides.

I don't see that anyone was disagreeing. sm
Since when is discussing opinions and lifestyles disagreeing? Having said that, my belief is different. I would call that a difference in belief system, not disagreeing. There is much to be learned from each other.
WHy is disagreeing with a position viewed as bullying?
Your response is much more bullying....self-righteous and pompous I think were your words...
It is not MY party. I am not a Republican. This country would be much better off if everyone, both sides, put country first and not the party.
That being said...it were an important issue to debate, it should not have had to have a pregnant 17-year-old girl "spark it." All I am saying is, regardless of that, it is a choice whether to continue to bring into the spotlight a candidate's child for political fodder.
The point is...it was not an issue before 17-year-old pregnant Bristol. But now it is, a way to keep that constantly in the forefront. That is the choice some on the left have made.
All I am saying is...while I am sure you think it is justified, there are many who will not. And that is ALL I am saying.
Or disagreeing with Bush gets you labeled a terrorist sympathizer?
The most absurd label to date.
