Pawlenty did nothing but put a Band-Aid on Minnesota’s budget with unallotment to make himself smell like a rose. The revenue isn’t there–you can’t be in constant denial and offer nothing constructive in its place. His own Cabinet with Glenn Close is, for the most part, a waste of taxpayer money. Don’t forget the PR move of wanting to bring in 5000 Iranians and another 8000 Thai in addition to 90000 others, then wonder why your schools are closing for lack of funds. I don’t get it–is this a contest? What was the plan for sustenance? I firmly believe in humanitarian principles and doing what we can to help–but within such a short period of time–you confuse diversity with the appearance of tolerance. No taxes for 7 years, free housing, food, transportation, voucher for a car plus insurance, school para, adult education. I remember scrambling to get enough for a gallon of milk after losses in Minnesota due to corruption. The gridlock in Washington is a mirror image of the Minnesota Legislature up until last year. Obama tried to get a nationalized equitable health plan through–the Republicans boycotted it.

Our major issue in this country is our two political parties. Our forefathers knew that a two party system would be our downfall and took steps to try to stop this type of politics, and thus anyone who seriously thinks that politics isn’t corrupt or slaves to Corporate America hasn’t not been paying attention. George Jr. will go down in History as one of the worst administrations in history and I could go on for hours showing why, but my point is that the Obama administration has offered nothing different (besides health reform, granted) and has in fact continued nearly every single Bush program. Obama has almost the same political donors and thus has the same pressures as Bush did. Health reform will turn out to be the most expensive and destructive waste of tax payer money ever. I just wish I could offer a better alternative for other frustrated people, but I can’t and those that think that the tea partiers are the future, remember that Sarah Palin is an important figure to them.

Republicans want want failure, they want things like the insurance companies to continue to rake in billions and to keep the unwealthy at a disadvantage. The infrastructures portion was what we needed to get us going in advancing our country to come into the present but the old conservatives who want to go back to the “simpler times” (ie. slavery, and racial discrimination via lower education). Our country and everyday people need help due to bad financial policy and they are just not getting it. Who is getting it? Big business. God bless America.

I hope the Dems lose the house in November. I don’t hate them or anything i just think that government works best when both parties have some power. In my lifetime I think the Government was working best during Reagans and Clintons presidencies and were at its worst during Obamas and Bush II’s.When one party controls everything it seems like its most corrupt and usually the other party sells its soul to the Devil to get back in power.

The problem with this country is BOTH the Democrats and Republicans. Anyone who seriously thinks that one side isn’t corrupt or slaves to Corporate America hasn’t done an adequate job of paying attention. To the Republicans: The GW administration will go down in History as one of the worst administrations. They eroded your constitutional rights, expanded the power of the wealthy elite, invaded countries under false pretenses, destroyed diplomatic relations with the rest of the world, and spent money like it was going out of style. To the Democrats: Obama is a dud. He promised much and has turned out to be another corporate lackey. He made deals with big pharma to ensure you could not get your medication cheaper elsewhere, he flip flopped on military tribunals, he refuses to fix health care properly through nationalization or single payer, he populates his inner circle with more Wall Street insiders, he spends money on bailouts and useless stimulus packages.
