		<description>Walter Hanson, I agree 100%,

They don&#039;t respond to us Minnesota Republican bloggers 
because they cannot. Everyone knows that means you have 
won the argument.

Fact is, these Liberals cannot defeat us, because we 
divide and conquer America WAY better than these pathetic 
Liberals do. America should be divided, because we are 
right and they are wrong. America DESERVES to be divided.

There is nothing wrong with it, it is a popular, easy to 
understand way of winning elections.

Great Job Minnesota Republican blogger Walter Hanson</description>

		<description>Walter hanson, I agree 100%,

We, the Republican party, have a proven record of success, and have consistently used the taxpayer&#039;s dollars in a responsible way that promotes the profits of private industry and has made it very easy for any business owner or investor involved to make a lot of money on Wall Street.

This is the only responsible way.

The subcontractors who subcontract a subcontractor who subcontract a subcontractor who subcontract a subcontractor who subcontract a subcontractor have been an efficient, free market approach of utilizing the programs we Republicans think are important.

The no-bid contract of Republican legislation allows the free market to decide the bill for taxpayers of other Programs we Republicans wrote and passed, and that is also the only responsible way to spend taxpayer money. That is the only way that makes any sense!!!

Anyone who was too stupid to buy the stock in the Companies who make record profits year after year because of our Republican legislation deserves to be poor. It was an easy to see feeding frenzy on Wall Street for 3 years, and if you missed the boat, you&#039;re on your own.

That is why privatizing Social Security makes so much sense. If Government programs cannot make a huge profit in the free market, then it is not a program America should be interested in, and is not a program Minnesota Republican bloggers will support. The free market is the best way to pay for this. The sooner we throw the switch the sooner we can make some easy money. Whatever Corporation gets this one is lucky.

		<description>Chet:

Do your math.  If you earn $25,000 you&#039;re paying just $1,550.

The problem with Social Security is that it&#039;s a pryamid scheme.
Those people who got it early get their money back.  Those on the
middle and lower ends won&#039;t get their money back.

And for those people who think privitazing Social Security is such
a great idea I&#039;ll like to tell you about a mother of three 
children who was good wife.  When she was in her 50&#039;s and 60&#039;s she 
was the primary breadwinner of her family.

Happily she was able to retire at 65 and was looking forward to 
retiring.  She went to visit her sister and unexpectedly passed
away before she collected a cent from Social Security.  Did Social 
Security give the family a check for all of her Social Secuirty 
donations? 


NO!!!!!!!

 Under the Franken plan he wants that family to be screwed

  If Social Security was even partially privatized that family
which is a middle class that Al Franken claims to fight for would&#039;ve
gotten some of her donations back.  And with even conservative 
investiging that money would&#039;ve grown.

  This family was hurt by Franken&#039;s and the dumb philosphy 
supported by the Democrats.

  Oh by the way that Mother I descrbied was my mother!

  So that ad and thoughts of wanting to steal from the rich
in yet another way is just bull!!!

		<description>TPT, you need to shut up about about Powell and Franken.  There was plenty of evidence availble at the time of Powell&#039;s speech that showed that Powell was full of shit, and Franken ignored it.  The excuse that he relied on Powell just demonstrates that Franken has horrible judgment and is really, really, really freaking dumb.  Dumber than a box of rocks.  Dumber than Sarah Palin even.  

Its a real weak spot for Franken.  You don&#039;t want to go there. The correct answer is &quot;Franken was wrong.&quot;</description>

		<description>Oh, and DtM?

There is no doubt, your party&#039;s plan to &quot;solve the problem&quot; is:

1 - privatize
2 - loot
3 - get gov&#039;t (i.e., &quot;taxpayers&quot;) to cover bailout

Your party believes in free market risk, and socialized response to loss.

Tell me, DtM - why is it that scandals that taxpayers end up paying for, always occur under GOP Presidencies?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;And “believing Colin Powell” is not a valid reason for supporting a preemptive war.&lt;/em&gt;

Yes, it is.

I watched Powell&#039;s testimony at the UN; Powell telling the world:  &quot;Ladies and gentlemen, these are not assertions. These are facts corroborated by many sources, some of them sources of the intelligence services of other countries.&quot;

Which, of course, was bullshit.

You can call it what you want.  The facts are this misAdministration LIED us into The War Of Choice - and I, too, fell for the bullshit Colin Powell spewed.

History will not be kind to Powell.</description>

		<description>The Democrat philosophy to fixing the looming entitlement crisis reminds me of:

Step 1:  Steal the Underpants
Step 2:  ???
Step 3:  Profit!

		<description>DtM, you fail to understand we can pay for Social Security and Medicare we just have to re prioritize our economy just a bit.  Instead of guns and bombs, we need to invest in innovation and invention.  Instead of empire, we need to reach out to countries and demonstrate the mutual benefit of doing business.  Peace is good for business.  Green technology is good for business.  Sustainable agriculture is good for business.  To that end, McCain just plain old, doesn&#039;t get it.  His plan is more of the same failed policy of empire and debt that the US has been suffering under since Reagan.</description>

		<description>Yes, tax us all.  Let&#039;s pay for the war.

The cost in dollars of the war pales in comparison to the entitlement promises we&#039;ve made but can&#039;t keep.  You know, the ones that nobody, not the Democrats or the Republicans, is talking about.

I&#039;ll gladly pay for the war.  Let&#039;s not put it on credit.  The future financial state of our country is scary regardless.</description>
