They are just clueless about the very possible end results of their actions, thinking that their "good intentions" couldn't result in an outcome other than what they envision. Which is incidentally also the kind of "good intention" that got us in this mortgage-banking-bailout situation.

Concise and to the point--I wish that the "elites" of the party would read this. Their useless "trip to nowhere" in trying to "redefine" the party, and their uselss backing of RINO's makes me clench my teeth! Those of us in the grassroots section are standing at our front doors, holding our guns, and puring another whiskey--(at least in my case)-- to drown our sorrows...(I have also stored a large amount of chocolate for the depression--both of my mind and my wallet!) PS--watcing the coverage of the NRA convention, I think I saw a purdy pink gun that would look just right in my purse!

The repubs better pull their collect heads out or we are doomed. 8 years of this (pres & congress)???

I did not know exactly what programs the 17 billion in cuts were coming from. Sadly though, at least in my experience, people are still divided into two main groups. The first group opposes Obama without having to know this much detail. The second would support him (and find a way to blame Bush) no matter what sort of evidence or facts you gave them. Most of these dunderheads are going to have to suffer extended and repeated personal economic hardships before they even begin to wonder if maybe their messiah is at fault. When someone makes all their decisions based on feelings, facts and logic not only do not make sense, they are interpreted as "wrong" or even "evil" because they contradict those all important feelings. Information can be partially, completely, or even intentionally incorrect. As long as it agrees with and reinforces those feelings, it has to be right.
