Bush's, Reagan etc.  (Carter deserves what he gets).   I agree: term limits and no congressional "golden parachute" retirement benefits.  Howsabout NO benefits?

A lynching, for example, or intentionally infringing on someone's rights based on their race. I'm hearing the term too much lately. It's a lazy word that gets thrown around by just about everybody and, as a result, diminishes the actual sting of what real racism does to people. I find it extremely frustrating that left wing commentators keep talking about racist Tea Party people or racist Republicans, but it's equally despicable for conservatives to keep attributing Obama's victory to his skin color (like you did in one of the comments above) or dismissing Sotomayor as a racist and an affirmative action hire. Nobody on either side can claim to be correct on this one. We've let buzz words like racism and socialism fill in for actual arguments and it's really dumbing down the conversation.         First, let’s establish that some kind of action should be attached to the label of “racist”.

I do recall some people on the right saying from the beginning they were committed to the failure of the Obama presidency, and then acting as if it were true. Why they would do such a thing is within the realm of politics as usual: same reason that Obama might harp on the Republicans for not playing nice. As you may recall the media pundits at the time of Obama's election were predicting something akin to the end of the Republican Party. No wonder the Reps. would do anything it takes to help Obama flop. I don't doubt that if the shoe was on the other foot, the Dems would do the same, which certainly fits with the common belief that staying in power is more important than actually governing. Maybe it's time to dust off the old arguments for term limits.  Dims: I don’t think anybody can tell for sure who abandoned bi-partisanship.

There isn't a single politician out there running a campaign based on his racial (if he/she has any) beliefs. See, I had thought this country had moved past race, that we were all one people, Americans. But everything comes back to your skin tone for these people. EVERYTHING. And it's getting to the point where even in public, at work or the store you have to tip toe around what you say because someone might think your racist. It's BS and I'm tired of it. My girl friend works for the boys and girls club in bristol. There is a mother that comes there who refuses to talk to the white teachers. So my GF took it upon herself to try and be nice and make friends with this mother and do you know what? This mother told my gf that she's "one of the good ones." And she asked "Teacher?" and the woman's reply was "That's not what I mean!" So because my GF tried to be nice to this parent, she was told she's one of the nice white people... WHAT IS THAT! This is the culture our kids are being raised in? And these are the people doing the raising? No wonder race has become such a hot button issue lately, it's because these people will not let it go. Personally I think the right needs to stop acknowlging any and all claims of racist and just laugh at the left for sinking that low. It's time to take the high ground and no longer listen to "those who would do us harm" because all they do is lie and spread nonsensical rumors about us and who we are.

You know, if your so concerned with people censoring their beliefs why not ask Chris Matthews to stop hating on the Tea Party folk? Or maybe ask Obama to stop assuming all cops are RACCCCCCIIIIISSSSSTTT? Or I don't know, ask the entire Democrat party to actually listen to someone elses point of view for ten seconds before just assuming their a black hating moron with who still makes fire with two sticks in a cave in his backyard. And why shouldn't Fox report on these stories? Who else is reporting them? Because the other networks aren't, these stories are not relevent? Well excuse me for not wanting to live in the dark, but I appreciate that Fox cares enough to atleast let me know there is another side to the story.
