1 You have to go back to George Washington to hang the deficit spending. Don't think he was a democrat or republican.
2 Cannot agree with you there, marriage is to be between one man and one woman. A civil union for the protection of assets, okay. Marriage no. So what gay bashing? I do not remember a republican campaign about that. Now there may be some whacko's that have a far out opinion, but that is not the whole party just someone's opinion.
3 You need to go to the IRS and look at the government data. If I remember correctly the top 5% of wage earners pay just short of 75% of the taxes the government gets. Their bill is in hte excess of 50%, unless of course they are no longer earning a living and retired, then it is considerably less. Perhaps you need to look at the democrats that make it so difficult to do business in this country that corporations are moving jobs out. The regulations also make it next to impossible for somebody in hte middle class to breaout and move to the next level. Also part of the problem is the tax code, ti is too complex. Now when Obama needs money he sure as hell does not go to the middle class he goes to wall street and hollywood.
4 The current administration quadrupled the deficit that George Bush left after EIGHT years. You should be outraged with the democrats. THink about it the presidnet cannot sign a bill unless it is passed by congress. With the exception of the Clinton years and the first Bush term the democrats have controlled the congress, that writes and passes the bills since 1950. So how are the deficits the republicans fault? By the way I am not a George Bush fan because of this spending.
5 The financial meltdown was the result of the community reinvestment act signed by Jimmy Carter, our previous worst president. Clinton signed an update that relaxed credit standards. Then the ACLU and NAACP threatened the banks for not lending money to the poor for houses. THe banks, rather than end up in court, loaned the money to less than credit worthy people. In 2004, you still can pull up hte video on you tube, (2004 congressional hearings) when the republicans wanted to tighten credit standards the democrats would not let them. So the problem grew and grew until it exploded. There is a good book, I can't remember the name though, that went into great detail about this and the democrats were responsible.
6 As far as Justice Scalia, I like his conservative approach to the law, we need more of that not less. You did not say what your beef was with him so I cannot address it.
Now don't take my word for this, go look it up on the internet, read a copy of the constitution, what I have said here is fact and can be proven.
