Letter to the Editor
Federal spending was out of control when GOP was in power

To The Daily: I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I read about these “tea party patriots.” Where were they in 2003 when the Republican majority doubled our budget deficit? Where were the “1 million strong” when, from 2003-2008, our national debt tripled?

I know where they were: sitting at home because as long as “their” party was in power, it must be OK. That, to me, is hypocrisy.

Now they want to protest because the Democrats gave them a beat down in the last election. Is it truly time to motivate because our government has fallen off of its compass? It has been for a while. The last I looked we were trillions in debt on Jan. 20, 2009.

Or is it because a black man is our president? I wonder.

Why do you call him a black man, Mr. Crow? He's as much white as he is black. You sound like a closet racist.

I am soooooooooo tired of the race card.I didn't vote for BO because of his political beliefs.As far as I'm concerned anyone who could sit and listen to a pastor teach the hatred against all white people his pastor taught is the racist.Yet,every time someone disagrees with the new administration they are somehow a racist.

Jerry, I did not know that Obama had any political beliefs since he never really voted for anything during his year in the Senate. If he were to have gone to school in Alabama, his registration would say he was white since his mother was white. I don't really care what shade his skin is, everything he says and does is apparently someone else's fault. He wanted the job, it's time to step up and start taking responsibility and quit bashing the U.S. every time he speaks.

Are you sure you shouldn't have signed your name "Jim Crow"?

The Democrats were in office when the deficit got out of hand. Oh well, when you have no other answer, just cry racism. Oh the ignorance of some!!

He must be black because he promised transparancy, but you can't see through him to see it.

William, where did you hear if your mom is white you are white? Jerry, listen to a preacher is not a sign of political beliefs. Bill, as always you are funny. Thomas E, what you say is racist. Gerri, you are so correct, bush hit the road well before Obama had to start cleaning up his mess - lets see the election took place and bush washed his hands because the credit card was maxed out. Kay, Obama is doing a good job with the mess he was left.

Bubba voted against Republican spending, War mongering, and Bush. Is Obama black? I'll be

President Obama has been in office a short time but he is somehow responsible for everything wrong in this country. He has to correct 8 years of mismanagement and poor judgement. I told someone that when George W. was elected that he would run this country into the ground and walk away without looking back. He did just that. It doesn't matter what color our president is, what matters is what he can do and so far the Republicans have done everything they can to prevent him from doing his job.

Austin, you are undoubtedly a visionary extroidinare to be able to see eight years into the future. Do you work by appointments or can I just walk in?

Bubba, I said that if he had gone to school in Alabama, that if his momma is white, he is white. Check with the board of education and see what their rule is for registering.

Let's see, since the election, he's proposed giving away $780 billion dollars for "shovel ready projects" and unemlployment is nearly 10% ? Oh yeah, the bulk of the stimulus doesn't really kick in till 2013 when the democrats will be campaigning for re-election and will be heros when the money comes through. Tax the producers and give it away to the non-producers till there are no producers anymore, then I guess we'll just have to print more money to sell to China at a cut rate. I remember Jimmy Carter days and don't really want to go back to that. Apparently lots of people do though. Ha-rumph....

Take over the American banking system, take over the American auto industry, take over the American health care system. Dictate what a company can pay it's leadership. 5% profits? Outlandish. How dare these people go into business to make money. Give the President a Ha-rumph....

Ha-rumph, Ha-rumph!

William, turn of the FOX news and use some logical thinking. If we had listened to Jimmy we might be better off now. You know who spent all the money stop misleading these readers. Oh taking over things here I guess is not ok but taking over countries is ok.

William I must assume you are an old white male republican that is lost in the wilderness of Beck, Rush, Palin, and Cheney. How right am I?

Bubba

no, I Iisten to the liberal media script readers and make up my own mind. Yeah, let's go back to the 22% mortgage interest days of Jimmy. Let's go back to double digit inflation and unemployment. All we have to do is print off a few more sheets of hundreds and we'll be ok.

FYI also, no, i'm not a republican nor a democrat. Let me guess Bubba, you are a liberal, anti-war, socialist that wants to spread the wealth evenly and sing kum-ba-ya with all the peace loving terrorists in the world? Maybe we can start an adopt-a-terrorist program for all the America haters out there in liberal la-la land with thier heads in the sand. Oh yeah, and Bush and Cheney went to Iraq to get rich on oil.

William: You sure SOUND like a Faux News watcher. You repeat their talking points verbatim.

You are neither Republican nor Democrat? ROFLOL

Oh "head in the sand", now I know who you are and YOU LIE. You are a Republican I know you and have heard you speak. Yes I am a liberal anti-war socialist who wants what Jesus wants. He is my guide. Not FOX news. I don't worry about money but apparently you do. As far as terrorist please list them so I can keep the straight. Maybe a new plan will work better because Bush/Cheney ain't.

My dad said he made more money during Jimmys time and as for 22% interest "well maybe some folks just can't afford a house" republicans words today.

Bubba

Bob, nope I don't tune in to Fox at all, so don't assume it. Whatever they talk about must be good stuff then because they apparenlty think like I do. HA HA. ROTFLMAO. Kinda makes me think YOU must listen to them for some reason or another if you know it verbatim. I guess there's not enough liberal news casts out there to satisfy some people. The white house is bashing Fox, so now it's time for everyone else to jump on the bandwagon. Ha Ha.

Bubba, we can only HOPE that the new plan works. Where do I go sign up for my handouts? I'm not worried about money. I have enough to get by and to give some away. But it's my choice to give it away and not the governments choice to take it and give it to who they want to have it. If you want them to have yours then by all means, that's your right and you shouldn't waste a minute getting it to them to give away. Heck, you could even cut out the middleman and go down to Wal Mart and standout front and give it away yourself.

Will, good to know you choose who gets your money and how much. Are black included? Jesus did not say how, he said to give. People at Walmart, I assume is your way of put poor folks down. So everyone that goes to walmart is lazy and poor and below you. I give my money and time and my limit on giving is when my billfold is empty and when I can go. Look around and you will see me. If you open your eyes you will see a lot of folks doing and giving. Oh, the biggest socialist organization I know is the Christian Religion. Yes I am socialist!!!!

Oh, I am not a republican nor democrat and I don't lie like YOU LIE, that's funny.

Bubbas break is over back to work

it's so funny to tweak you liberals and get you on your soapbox. Again, you think you know me. I shop at Wal Mart. Get down off your high horse. Go to ANY store you want too and hand out your money, but you have to make it EQUAL for everyone. That's what you want right, everyone to have the same, no matter how hard they've worked for it, or not even to have worked for it? I don't align myself with any party. I can think for myself, unlike many people. Believe it or not, non-democrats and non-republicans can go to church and serve and give. That's a fact. Go back and read previous ost again. I didn't say WHO I give too. I said I have enough for myself and enough to give away. It's my choice to give it away.

Tim Crow is a racist, read his letter and it's very clear. Racist.
