If 100% or the house and the senate were Democratic, would there be an extension of useless imperialistic wars?

Knighty, don't project evasion and dishonesty onto me... i have not ignored factual information presented to me like you have when i presented it to you. that's your style, not mine. yes, the democrats would increase the debt and give out benefits (the benefits not being the problem, rather, the other expenditures are the issue - and the democrats would spend even more). nothing i've ever said or done would indicate i'd answer differently - that answer is 100% obvious in this case. bankers love debt - although there will come a time when that debt becomes the billy club and both parties will squeeze the public dry. increased taxes, reduced services, banker record profits. a few questions for you... 1. do you support the democratic policy (same as republican policy - supporting my point they are on the same team) of giving the bankers trillions in secret and with no strings attached? 2. do you support the obama's legalization of security fraud via the suspension of mark to market and the creation of mark to lie? 3. do you believe the economy is fundamentally more stable now that trillions in private banker gambling debts have been offloaded onto the public? 4. who is going to pay for those trillions handed out to the bankers? 5. how is 1% of gdp in bonuses to bankers and 40 million on food stamps and a real 20+% unemployment rate consistent with redistributing wealth from the wealthy to the less fortunate? 6. what role do the world bank and imf have in keeping poor nations poor? do you support their efforts to privatize rain water? 7. you've stated that you expect interest rates to go over 10% (even higher, if i recall correctly). what is 10% of our $14 trillion debt? 8. with tax revenues around $1.7 trillion and likely to continue falling - what will society look like when almost all tax money goes to the bankers for doing effectively nothing productive? 9, how is it that thousands of s&l executives were charged with crimes during the s&l crisis and BOTH democrats and republicans don't even talk about criminal investigations of the obvious fraud that occurred in this 1000x crisis?

and while you are on a truth telling spree... did the federal reserve break this LAW... federalreserve.gov when they did this to credit relative to GDP (first chart in the article)... market-ticker.denninger.net 2. do you support obama gushing for and re-appointing bernanke? 3. do you believe that obama's administration is free of lobbyists? 4. do you believe that rahm shoudl skate for collecting millions in under the table kick backs? 5. did you believe that gitmo was bad under bush? 6. do you believe that gitmo is bad under obama? 7. did you like the patriot act under bush? 8. do you like the patriot act under obama? 9. did you like rendition under bush? 10. do you like rendition under obama? 11. did you like bush claiming the right to assassinate americans outside of the US? 12. do you like obama claiming the right to assassinate americans outside of the US? and since you aren't evading any more... 13. you claimed that lots of buildings on 9/11 were reported as having collapsed in advance and i asked you for a news report proving as much. nada. no answer, nothing beyond dead silence. where is that evidence to which you alluded? please provide a link or a video of anything remotely close to building 7 being reported as having collapsed 7+ hours after the planes had hit the towers.

there is just too much! 1. how do you feel about obama promising to undo nafta and bring the jobs back (still ~50% unemployment in detroit) and then not doing it - just like the canadian official said he was told by obama's campaign? you know, obama was lying to the small people to get their votes with no real intent to help them. 2. is timothy geithner primarily responsible for failing to regulate the banks and directly responsible for creating the bubble and collapse? 3. if so, was obama's pick of geithner as treasury secretary good for j6p american? 4. do you support obama's complete lack of effort to end earmarks? he promised to end them, but doesn't even make the effort. 5. do you support obama's failure to keep his promise to post legislation on the internet 5 days before he signs it?
