Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Sort of like Harry Reid saying (over and over) that "This War is LOST", isn't it?

Precisely the same....except.....which means NO! It is not the same.
Historically....and oh, by the way, "lowering taxes" puts more money back into the economy by "investors and individuals" for "goods and services" and improving "business services" thereby creating MORE jobs which means more "tax payers" which relates to "more revenue" for the gov't. ....so it is NOT less makes more as you so eloquently deduced.

Our economy is "based on Dynamic and NOT Static" numbers. It really is simple math, nothing complicated or fancy. Dems portray everything "in the static" which is why every "program(?)" they devise is doomed from the start. But they know this and they also know that there are MANY willing to believe them and allow themselves to be "represented" to the world as "knowledgeable". And they are. Just not the way they want people to believe....

Example(s); Billary's "Health Care" joke. The Health Care Industry is 1/7 of the U.S. economy. Why would you "trust"(?) someone with absolutely NO clue about "business" to control it.

Obama says he wants to increase the "capital gains" tax because Warren Buffet says it won't hurt the economy! (Warren Buffet is a multi-billionaire "socialist with an agenda) why would anyone in gov't. listen to him?! Anytime you "take", something has to "give". The laws of "physics" applies also. And why trust ANYONE to SPEND your money.

But, beyond that. The absolute Truth is; "nothing is Free". And another truth people won't COMPREHEND is; IT AIN'T WASHINGTON'S MONEY!

About 90% of ALL politicians are "power hungry" pure and simple and they don't give a ###!$%%^ about YOU!!!! If you take nothing else from this dis-course "take that".

Since those on this "board" seem to have some "computer savvy" how about y'all do this....on the internet find a copy of Karl Marx's communist manifesto and read it slowly, comprehend what it says. Then read the U.S. Constitution and comprehend what it says...then get back to me on
the democratic party of today.

And I am NOT singling out anyone on here....I am referring to the democratic party leaders and their agenda. Okay? Most everyone in Washington seems to have put aside the notion that they were hired to represent, and not dictate by laws or policy. Unfortunately lots of folks ain't aware of that....lots of folks just blindly accept what a hired hand tells them to be the truth. On BOTH sides of the aisle. But generally speaking, Democrats pander to their constituency in a very demeaning manner. They act as though "the people" aren't as smart as they are.
Boy, are they wrong on that one!!!

This thread is nearly one yr old now... So it's more than just a few months since the Dems took over anymore... What have they done for us? Under their all knowing tutelage...
Are we out of Iraq? Nope.
Have we won(or lost) the war? Nope.
Have we got our fence or other serious border security in place? Nope.
Has our economy gotten better? Nope.
Has our healthcare system repaired itself? Nope.
Has anyone really been held acountable for things so many newly elected or newly positioned Democrats ranted about for months or even years? Nope.
Do we have wonderful relations with all the other countries of the world? Nope.
Have jobs lost become jobs found across America? Nope.
Have fuel prices been held in check? Nope.
Has our "world popularity" gained massive ground? Nope.
Have we made strides in fuel efficiency or using better and more environmentally healthy fuels? Nope.
Have we slimmed down the country, making our citizens healthier? Nope.

So what has their "memorandum" done for us? What positive differences can actually be seen by the average person since the Democrats took office in the majority? Have they made certain our fighters all have "Dragon Skin" today? I'm just askin'.... Not that they really NEED it, of course... Afterall, the Dems are getting us outta there, right? Right?

And for the true liberals still here... American soldiers don't WANT war... They just want to be allowed to do the jobs they are called to do with the best means available instead of having their hands tied behind their backs for fear their WINNING won't offend someone. In other words, now that he's been trained, let that dog hunt! That's how you show support folks. Let them do the job to completion and then come home to their loving families and with the respect of their countrymen, having honored the lives lost fighting for freedom.

Great speech but it's filled with more holes than 10 Lbs of Swiss cheese.
Unless a party holds a 2/3 majority in congress (enough to over ride a veto) there is very little they can do to change anything. they can stop some things from becoming law but hardly get new laws passed over the President.
Your statements are unfair to say the least. this will change if you get a Dem president AND a Dem congress. then they would have no excuse.

It's not unfair in the least. These people constantly remind us how ready they are to play "hardball" and constantly show no serious and real results. The reason they never accomplish change isn't because the President is one party and the Congress another. It never really can be.

The reason they don't accomplish positive change, or positive much of anything for that matter is very simple.... My 7yr old niece summed it up nicely after being "stuck infront of the tv" for awhile during a news program... "Can't they get along at all? All they do is fight!" She cannot fathom the issues. She merely sees the reality she's capable of comprehending.

There's the reason... They refuse to bend and therefore, maintain status quo almost always.

Besides, the Dems constantly harped on how they would be sure to change things if only we'd trust them enough to put them in office... They're not trying to change much at all, and certainly not showing any real desire to repair, only fiddle-fart around and point fingers. They could get many laws passed without concern of the President if only they'd use middle-ground rather than solidly stand against anything he or the majority of Republicans stand for.

They've accomplished basically nothing in over a yr. Meanwhile, they continue to fuss and point the finger toward their counterparts on the "other side" of the isle. Is there going to be a point when they decide they are there to do a job, not whine about what they now claim they cannot do, which is what they promised to do while campaigning?? And btw, it isn't like they're paid based on performance... Which I think the people should make a law W/O their input! Infact, I believe they should serve for FREE and have term limits!

Lest we forget another point. If any of us performed as badly as our government for any amount of time, we'd be looking for a new job in short order.

So Democrats made promises they could not keep.

And the sheep believed them.

Isn't that their job? represent their constituents?

Face it, liberals (or "moderates") fell for the Democrat's line of bull.

Bunch of sheep.
