The Katrina Bush bashing was just political BS and everyone knows it who isn't a moron. The state government was largely blamed for the lack of planning and preparation with the feds only coming off as less than helpful, but not harmful.
I wen through a nasty flood last year (as in house flooded, no power and displaced for days) and my family pulled through because we did not wait for the government to come save us.
You basically had a city full of worthless government dependent people who didn't know the first thing about being prepared and thinking ahead. Just wait for government to show up and hope your family doesn't drown.

Reid is saying exactly that! He is saying Romney paid NO TAXES which is of course moronic.

Why do you think Romney doesn't want to release his taxes, because it wont make the attacks go away about his wealth, it just validates the random accusations.

No one sane thinks Romney did anything illegal, they just want to attack his success. We are just all envious of our neighbors and want to take what they have. It's as simple and childish as that.

Well as you can see John McCain's and Roger Calero's names have two dates. You can name one person who still pushes the idea in the entire country. I hardly consider that a continuing conspiracy. 6% of people don't think we landed on the moon. Sharif Joe only constitutes .00000000000000000000003% so until you reach the 6% threshold I think your conspiracy theory is a conspiracy theory.

I reviewed and on the house you technically correct as their voting bloc was 58.8% not 60%. However the Senate did have a super majority 60% until Kennedy died.

My point is still valid even if only 1 half of the congress had a super majority. I'm sure you don't mind the Senate and Obama blocking all the bills passed by the House since 2010? It's only when ideas you don't like get blocked it's "part of the process", but if you like the ideas then "it's obstruction".
There is a reason it's difficult to pass laws, laws are normally not good.

The Stimulus was 100% Obama. Bush did not write, sign or implement that bill.

Romney was governor of a state and signed a bill for healthcare in that state. How is that hard to understand?

Unemployment and economic growth are affected by federal policy (taxes, regulation, etc.) Obama has an anti-business regulatory ideology and the economy reflects that

On banking regulation Senator Obama was against reviewing and revamping the sub-prime mortgages where GOVERNMENT mandates forced banks to make loans to people everyone knew could not pay them back.(This was of course prior to the 2008 crash) Yes, the feds would punish banks who did not make loans to people who they knew could never repay them on the basis of 'fairness'.

Breaking banks into two groups, investment & lenders would do what you ask in 'breaking up' banks. There is no such thing as 'too big to fail' only 'too corrupt to fail'.

I would consider anyone who has been successful as a citizen to be president. Obama was a bad student, professional protester, periodic lecturer and absent Senator. Romney is not savior, but 4 years of improved economics couldn't hurt in my opinion.

Mitt's father was questioned too when there was a chance he might become the nominee because the Romney's were from Mexico. By extension Mitt himself released his birth certificate to Reuters because questions arouse.

Full Faith and Credit didn't even apply to banning interracial marriages according to the supreme court, so precedent would not favor your opinion.

The DOMA was not necessary IMO as a state could simply choose not to recognize ANY marriages as easily as it could choose to define what it would recognize. If state A want's to recognize a contract between a man and lamp post, state B does not have to create law and provide ceremonies for those in state B who might wish to have a contract with a lamp post.

What law prevents gay marriage? Answer: None.
Marriage is a contract that a State chooses to recognize or not recognize. The federal government has NOTHING to do with it. If a state chooses to recognize a contract between two opposite sex, two same sex, or 3 same or mixed sex partners its the sates business, not the federal government.

Your view seems to be that the FEDERAL government should force states to recognize contracts of same sex marriages, but what about mixed partner marriages of all types?

For the record my opinion is that the state has the right under the constitution to decide IF it recognizes contracts and what criteria said contract cannot have. However, I would advocate for NOT recognizing ANY marriages as I don't think it is the business of the federal or state government to define what a cultural 'norm' is or is not.
