Sorry, am I missing something here?
The U.S is whining that China wants to do what the U.S. has been doing ever since WWII?
Pot, kettle, anyone?

Of course the connection to the yaks is a cover. I mean, seriously - how lame is it?? We'll have to see whether the real story ever comes out.

With this budget-slashing-only agenda, conservatives have been sold a dead horse again by their leaders in Washington.
It’s not going to help America in the slightest.
It really would be helpful if conservatives stopped watching FOX news and actually thought about the consequences of their actions for once.

I think we can all agree that cutting budgets is only going to cut jobs, so the conservative budget-slashing mentality is already skewered in terms of logic, not to mention fatal in terms of job creation.
I think Obama had it right in the first place – stimulus packages.
Conservatives will only denounce these due to their corrupted ideaology, but let’s face it: if the government gives $50 million to a state and earmarks it for road construction, provided it is used appropriately, jobs WILL be created, tax revenues WILL increase, people will remain employed or get new jobs, those same people WILL feel more confident to open up their wallets and spend in the community. Sure, the deficit will rise and so will debt servicing costs, but that will be offset by increased revenues in the form of taxes.
What’s the alternative?
The alternative is the conservative agenda: Ie: slash ALL spending, which will lead to jobs being slashed and people’s lives, futures and self-motivation being laid to waste.
The Conservative Way: Destroy America

Tumbledry: "Wait... that is going a bit too far I think. You are playing the same blind rhetoric"
I disagree. Many states are on the verge of bankruptcy as it is and are already slashing jobs.
How is cutting their already cash-starved budgets going to create jobs?
Like raking water uphill.....

Oh yeah! Because I'm not American, I can't vote and therefore have absolutely no right whatseover to comment on American issues.
But Americans who can vote but have no idea whatsoever about the real issues DO have the right to comment on American issues.
LOL!!!!!

Any person with a shred of business nous knows that to create jobs, you've got to INVEST.
That means SPEND MONEY - on salaries, plant, buildings, R&D, etc.
Conservatives don't want this.
Conservatives simply do not want to invest in America.
Conservatives do not want to invest in American jobs.
Conservatives do not want to invest in the future of America.
And they think they're patriotic?!
They're screwing up the futures of an entire generation here by insisting on spending cuts and no investment.
This is one reason why I've been saying for years now that conservatives aren't patriotic, and do not have the best interests of their country at heart.

Here's conservatives strategy to "create jobs" -
1/ Cut spending across the board.
2/ Did we make any new jobz yet?
Really, people don't even need Economics 101 to see the bankruptcy of conservative ideolgy.
Republicans's insistance on spending cut will lead to states, local governments, cities, towns, etc. right across the board cutting spending.
Which will mean jobs, construction projects, you name it will be cut.
So, in the real world, conservatives strategy to "create jobs" will lead to even fewer jobs.
Honestly, I'm seriously embarrassed I actually felt the need to spell this out to my conservative colleagues on JT.

WHAT? Another GOP quitter?
Last time it was Sarah P. This time it's Tim P.
Conservatives quit on good financial governance, quit on supporting their own old folk, quit on protecting America, quit on respecting global legal statutes, and now they are quitting on electing half-good presidential candidates.
Is quitting in GOP genes or something? :-)

tkoind - "All they really care about is showing that their flag is the highest flag on the field and their team is the best."
A typically idiot male trait, I might add.
"We are led by people with little more common sense than a collection of jocks at a highschool."
tkoind - No, I disagree. The key difference is the GOP/conservatives acutally WANT and are making every effort to reduce their own parents of welfare benefits.

Lieberman: "So hey sushisake3 are you telling us you watched the Republicns debate? Did you listen to it on the radio? It's pretty clear from your posts you aren't eleigible to vote in the US. I think you fail to realize how you undermine the party you pretend you support. You are highly critical of America in just about everything. And then you come on here saying it is Republicans who are going to destroy the country, but it's a country other American readers of this forum, independents as well as Republicans, know you would like to see destroyed. Not as clever as you think."
Ditto for your post. Of course I don't want to see America "destroyed". That is a ridiculous claim to make. A healthy U.S. economy is a healthy global economy.
What gets me is that many conservatives don't seem to get that. We just witnessed the TPers bring the U.S. economy to the brink of default - for what? To prove to their constituents that they were true to their word?
Maybe, but they are so incredibly short-sighted that they couldn't seem to be able to understand the global ramifications, or that yes - there actually is a world outside America, a point that seems completely lost on many conservatives.
Leiberman: "And then you come on here saying it is Republicans who are going to destroy the country."
Sorry, I must have mispoke: Republicans HAVE destroyed the country.

The Republican presidential debate may just as well have been a debate on which GOP candidate has a better plan to further bankrupt America, alienate its allies and shaft middle and lower class Americans.
On that point, I'd say they are all in the running.

Sailwind: “Context: The U.S was brutally attacked as a complete suprise on Sept 11th just as she was on Dec 6th 1941.”
REALITY: Complete and utter rubbish. GWB and co received warning of an attack using aircraft months before 911.
Sailwind: “The press was putting national unity ahead because that was exactly what was happening in the country to report.”
REALITY: Except if you were a conservative, in which case EVERY Muslim was a potential terrorist.
Sadly, little has changed in America.

I think when you consider which one of these clowns is the least phoney, anti-American, misguided and clueless, there’s not really much in it to be honest.

Serrano: "Heh, I noticed you couldn't back up yabits on his claim that the Republicans are increasing tax burdens on the poor."
No, Republicans just desperately want to cut Medicare benefits for the poor so the poor will still pay more, regardless.
Exactly, exactly.

It's funny how those who are enslaved by the rhetoric coming from the NRA-inspired Right STILL think that 'guns kill people.'
Only when this ludicrous fallacy is broken might Americans see that their freedom to shoot and be shot is an idiot idea that is not at all worth defending.

On any given day, living in America is more dangerous than being a soldier in Afghanistan.
No wonder America is going down the plughole.
