…and people keep saying we’re stuck for four years or eight years. It very well may not take one year.

But San Fran Nan is trying to protect us! That why she wants all that money spent on condoms.

That´s why the Dems spent millions to try to unseat her. That´s why I gave a hundred bucks to Bachmann´s reelection campaign, even though I don´t live in Minnesota. I´ll do it again and so should you.

History has a way of repeating itself, and this article shows that we are about to repeat 1929. However, due to inflation, the impact will be proportionally larger and more painful for the public.

Unfortunately, the health care system will have a hard time being able to handle the influx of illnesses/ailments that the public will begin exhibiting. But, socializing it will not help either.

We need to look out for ourselves, family and neighbors and provide assistance to the best of our capabilities.

Dasher,

He was re-elected 3 times. You are correct though, he was elected 4 times.

I will say that FDR actually recognized an enemy, which Obama does not appear able to.

Forgive my just got home from work typos.

Suprise suprise suprise. How amny times was FDR reelected? If you really a scholar of history, then you would know that no matter how disasterous FDR was, he was elected to three terms as President.

Saying that BHO is disasterous, while accurate, is moot. Unless conservatives actually get enough courage and stop this disaster, you are looking at FDR part two.

Unfortunately he was elected 4 times, fortunately he died shortly after the fourth term started. Elected: 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944. Died in April 1945. Thinking mainly he was elected in 1940 & 1944 because of the war and or threat of war.

“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it”.

It is crystal clear that tax cuts are the right tool for the job. Obama just wants to spread around a bunch of our money to the trough sloppers that elected him. What is sad is that he has them convinced they diserve it.

Reality is you diserve what you earn, but Obama wants to change all that. I can’t wait until reparations come up again. Obama is looking like he will awaken a sleeping giant in the form of American economic producers. The takers better watch out.

Let us also remember that FDR was a socialist and friends with the powers that be in USSR. He was, like the stimulus of today, trying to back door communism.

“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it”.
And here we have been told by the media that the Democrats are supposed the smart ones, yet they seem to have this morbid fascination with trying to revive some of the dumbest ideas and philosophies of the past that didn’t work then and sure as hell wont work now.

When the banks get back to the policy of requiring 20% down to buy a house and get a mortgage is when you’ll see real change…Hell, I had to many moons ago…Why not everybody else?

Government guarantees were a huge contributor to this lack of self regulation. I hope you understand this. In a truly free economy where they are responsible for their money without a guarantee, they would never have been foolish enough to lend to anybody. These mortgage brokerages and banks were selling these loans to the government and to hedge funds as fast as they could.

No one really wants to address Bachmann’s points, mostly because they’re unassailable.

Bachmann is a prize and the first Minnesota politician I have some knowledge about and who I respect.

Just before reading this thread I made a comment on an earlier thread, The stealth health-care nationalization in the “stimulus”.

I look forward to WW III to get us out of The Greatest Depression. In the mean time I expect a Constitutional Amendment to allow The One to remain in office since we need him so much, you know like FDR.

It just so happens that so many of these regulations were concocted by drunken monkeys on acid.
