[font=Verdana']Abraham Lincoln said the following: "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

Of the past four governors in Illinois three have been republicans. In fact one of the three has just been released from federal prison. So in the case of Illinois one has to point the finger at both parties.

Apparently, no matter your political affiliation, you can't escape dirty politics in Illinois, wait......................where's BaRack and his posse from again ?

 

[RDU Jetblast]

Yeah yeah yeah.

And this countries' debt burden grew under republican leadership. And we were attacked under republican leadershi. And the stock market tanked under republican leadership, and our financial system nearly crashed and burned under republican leadership, we entered two needless wars with no exit strategy under republican leadership, True, certain local areas with only dems in lead are suffering but the republicans brought suffering to a national level. And for generations. Be sure to thank your grand kids for me for paying our debts.

Who was cutting the checks in Congress when all this debt burden was going down?

 

[RDU Jetblast]

Pretty much did it themselves.

 

[delldude]

Pretty much.

Like I said , who?

 

[RDU Jetblast]

I'll start with whoever convinced us that hussein had bio/ chemical weapons ready to go and was wrong.

And will add, whoever thought lax banking regulations would strenghthen our country but were wrong.

Then finish with whoever thought it was a good idea that tax cuts to stimulate the economy but were wrong

Try Bill Clinton signing the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act into law.

Tax cuts did stimulate the economy but they spent more than they took in (just like Barrack is doing on steroids)
