Odios = herman Cant !!!!! back to the pizza shop !!!! Its Amazing hermy [can] keep his mouth shut towards his wife and family = Yet when he gets on the stage ; he [cant] keep his mouth SHUT !!!
"There are none so blind, as those who will not see."
Oh, I saw the shellacking coming...
I also saw every TEA partier and Republican lying through their teeth about what their agendas would be once they got into office.
They kept saying "JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!", when they meant, "NO! NO! NO! DESTROY GOVERNMENT! DESTROY RIGHTS! DESTROY JOBS!! DESTROY OBAMA!!!"
You know, the same dreck you've been spouting...
David those are powerful words !
Hermie said he's going to make a BIG announcement tomorrow. Maybe he's announcing the Grand Opening of another pizza palace! He may need that if Mrs C. kicks him out on his duff.
@ALBERTJONES36, The 2010 Shellacking occurred because of 2 major reasons. 1) Too many of those who voted Democratic in 2008 were not enthusiastic about voting Democratic in 2010 because not enough of the expected changes had occurred, as change is something that doesn't happen easily and the GOP was doing everything they could to make sure they established roadblocks to that change, as well as making it impossible to get anything that would have been effective enough of a stimulus package or any other legislation aimed towards speeding up recovery. 2)Waning hope that Democrats would bring about change, in conjunction with either deciding to stay home and not vote, or being fooled into believing GOP candidates were truthful about what they would do if elected that they opted to vote for the GOP candidate.
The above, in conjunction with GOP majority in the House, after the 2010 elections claiming a mandate that they were not given, blatantly violating their oaths of office by having a #1 goal of doing everything they could legislatively with the aim of preventing Obama from being reelected in spite of the very real fact that they were doing harm to a majority of their constituents by sticking to an ideology that would make any kind of recovery impossible, making real debt reduction impossible through their refusal to allow either additional taxes or reallocation of taxpayer money from wasteful tax expenditures to where application of tax revenues would have been not only useful, but in many cases essential.
The GOP joyfully harps on the fact that it has been far too long since the Democratic.controlled Senate has produced a budget; yet the GOP is quite silent about the real reason why the Senate has not had a budget reach the floor. Namely that McConnell has ensured that no budget will reach the floor through continued abuse of Filibuster while knowing that cloture will be impossible. Any kind of budget the Senate could get through the GOP minority for a floor vote would be so egregiously bad that the Democrats would make sure didn't pass, presuming they didn't make sure it was Filibustered and didn't get to the floor.
While some Democrats and Independents may have decided not to vote or were fooled into voting for the GOP candidate in 2010, there is no possible excuse for anyone at this point not to realized that the Senate has been in gridlock more often than not since Obama was inaugurated because McConnell wanted the Senate gridlocked and there were enough Blue Dog or Moderate Democrats to support McConnell and an insufficient number of Republicans to support the majority, ensuring there would be less than the 60 votes needed for cloture. (Unfortunately, too many Democrats were paranoid about reducing the number of votes necessary to invoke cloture from 60 down to even 57, ensuring that McConnell would have the ability to continue using Filibuster like it were a battering ram instead of a scalpel. Filibuster is there as a tool for good Senators to prevent bad bills from being enacted, not for Senators to abuse their office and prevent a good bill from even getting voted on. In a just world, McConnell would have already been evicted from the Senate for violating the Constitution for a combination of malfeasance and misfeasance in office.
The only possible good thing about the current situation is that Obama has a better chance of being reelected than could normally be expected because of a very weak field of candidates for the GOP - the only good candidates are so far away from the current GOP norm that they are closer to being a Moderate Democrat than a Moderate Republican or are more Libertarian than Republican.
Ho-Lee Cow!!! You must of had a second dose of odummy's "Hopium"......
No way he gets reelected in 2012....
Do us all a favor and go back to the land of Internet Trolls and and drink some more of that Koch spiked Tea.
A poem for David- who I suspect will appreciate the artistic work. Others, in the past have also enjoyed similar poetry.
Ode to Obama and the Tea Party
We bought the European economic story
We bought hopey changey in all its glory
We bought the need for bailouts
To protect us from the bankers strikeouts
We bought the stimulus for recovery
Unemployment under 8% was the chivalry
We bought Obamacare for the masses
But payment was due and the plan was molasses
We understood it was a big effin deal
Biden told us- the job loss we won’t feel
Hark though- a voice from the taxpayers
Who’s going to pay for all these job slayers?
And those paying taxes came up from the ashes
And the Tea Party speaks as spending it mashes
Albert, which of the GOP candidates would you like to see in the Oval Office?
E-x-actly.....I have asked that question myself.....and Thank God For Obama. Who do you want to take the call at 3:00 in the morning. None on the Campaign stage......Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee God Help US All!
Any of them, or someone as of yet unannounced?
You can mark Herman off the List
Herman Cain and his supporters are way out of line with web site to trash talk these women. If i were them I would take notes and sue the pants off of Cain. This is mockery of any one who is in the presidential race with him. He can run but he will never hide from this story.
Gloat???? You must be a Newt the Gingrich who stole Christmas fan. He has already declared himself the GOP winner and not a single vote has been cast.
Still no guests from the GOP on the show. How about inviting Paul Ryan or Rand Paul? Cmon Ed. Don't envite politicians from the right that are in trouble like Kasich and Walker. Let's see a good ol Left vs Right policy debate.
LOL
Rand I can not explain what i mean about what i am talking about Paul.
Paul kill medicare Ryan.
Rachael was given a normal interview and Paul could not hang in.
I used to be a Cain supporter and this latest example is proof enough for me that he has a real womanizing problem. His foreign policy was also a huge problem. The GOP will get to the cream of the crop and vet a candidate that will beat Obama. Huntsman could be the man if just got a little momentum. Let's face it none of the candidates are perfect. Some have just been attacked by the liberal media more than others.
Their is no liberal media they are corporate own. Your party will not put in Huntsman he work for Obama and he is a Mormon.
David, let's not let our tempers get out of hand. A shouting match gets us nowhere.
HWD...
You're right....
"It's not what other people do that affects you; it's how you FEEL about what other people do that affects you."
I will try to be the adult in the room...
Of course, it would be easier to do if others tried to do so as well...
Albert, you seem to have a lot of anger. When did you become so opposed to President Obama? Before he was elected? Two years into his term? What specifically has you so angry with him?
And you still haven't answered my first question about who you'd like to see as President.
AlbertaJones #35, its just not going to happen in your lifetime. President Obama is now and will continue to be our president in 2012, sorry AlbertaJones your wrong once again..
True American Pat, I am a supporter of President Obama, but I agree with you that Huntsman has the most to offer the GOP - and he may get his turn at the top of the polls yet. Romney gets irritated with people too easily and just doesn't seem to know how to connect. Huntsman seems the most level headed and intelligent.
Albert, how about that?! The National Enquirer had the goods on Edwards long before anybody else. Who would have thought...? The National Enquirer! What was Edwards thinking?
Fox is not news they never have been. Fox is a lie machine with evil within.
Fox/Saudi/Misinformation/propaganda Entertainment News.
"Reality has a notoriously liberal bias."
Albert, I don't know. I don't believe that they knew about Edwards and were avoiding the story. I mean, where's the sense in that? A story of that magnitude couldn't fly under the radar. I can't say that I remember the specifics of the other stories that were dominating the news during that time - their focus was elswhere. But once it was verified, it was covered. Ed covered it. Somebody always gets the scoop. This time it was The Enquirer.
Ed, among others on MSNBC, is unabashedly pro Dem - and is up front/makes no bones about it.
Great show, Ed.
The Chris Moody portion was highly informative. Kudoes to Moody of Yahoo News for reporting about what happened at the Republican governor's confab, with Frank Luntz telling these hardcore right-wing governors how to deceive American citizens through the use of certain language. But then Moody tried to assert a "false equivalency" between the Democrats' use of terminology and the Republicans' Luntz-inspired talking points. Is there really any equivalency between Democrats calling for a "public option" and the Republicans saying that the Democratic Party's health care reform efforts would create Death Panels?
With the
Presidential Election of 2012 approaching, I having been watching, as most of
the nation, all the political rhetoric of the GOP and the re-election of
President Obama. However with all the sound bites, blame game, flip flops and
media mesh, a question has come to my mind and I hope the minds of most of the
nation. Now regardless of whatever God you believe in or whether you believe in
God at all, you still can ask yourself this question, IS IT "MORALLY RIGHT"!
Morals defined are simply messages or lessons learned from a person, story or
event. Now there are definitions based on your personal preferences but with
that simple definition I believe anyone can have morals, whether one believes in
God or not, or affiliates with a certain religion or not! So why this questions?
As I listen daily to all the rhetoric, the question has always been on my mind
but this week one particular event happened that really sent a wave through my
heart and mind to the morality of not only the presidential candidates but this
nation as well. It was the statement made by Presidential Candidate Newt
Gingrich on the poor children in this country. And I quote "children in really
poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and nobody around them who works,
so they literally have no habit of showing up on Monday. They have no habit of
staying all day. They have no habit of I do this and you give me cash unless
it's illegal." Yes people he really said that! And if you are anywhere in the
99% of this nation something has to resonate in your heart and mind about the
morality of these candidates and this country. So why do I bring up morals? Well
here it is! America and everyone who classifies themselves as American has
always claimed to be the highest standard of morality. Whether it be through
military relations, economic relations, international relations, or humanitarian
relations, America likes to set the standard. Now whether you believe that to be
true, lets just assume for now it is. So if America sets the standard for
morality, how can an American Presidential Candidate make such a statement about
the poor children of this nation? One dynamic that I looked at was how American
Society got it's morals. Through my research I found that the majority of
Americans get their morals from family, and their faith(religion or whatever God
they believe in). And most Americans, more than 70% identify themselves as
Christian, including Mr. Gingrich. So for over 70% of Americans it would be
"fair and balanced" to say that their morals come from the life of Jesus Christ!
Because Christian simply defined means being Christ-Like. Now what did Christ
say about the poor? How did Christ treat the poor? What did Christ say to us
about how we should treat the poor? Let's see! "And behold, one came to Him and
said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" "Jesus
said unto him, go, sell that which thou hast, and give to the POOR, and thou
shalt have treasure in Heaven: and come, follow Me." Matthew 16 Verse 19 and 21
American Standard Version. So to Mr. Gingrich, to all my far right republicans
and conservatives, to my "tea partiers" who claim Christianity and I'm going to
assume have some since of morality and who believe that President Obama is a
socialist who is trying to redistribute wealth just maybe he is trying to
exemplify that high moral standard that America claims to be through the
greatest example and teacher who ever existed! Maybe the President is trying to
be an example of and represent what over 70% of this nation call themselves! So
Republican Congress, Far Right Conservatives, Tea Partiers, FOX "fair and
balanced" News, when you are questioning policies, and voting on policies, if
you are in that 70% who claim to be Christian, ask yourself "IS IT MORALLY
RIGHT?!" This is my perspective! Sound Off! Peace & Love! ontherealgrind.blogspot.com

Limbaugh said to his minions that "Jesus would do nothing!". Of course that's another lie from this shock jock, as Antoinette pointed out about Christ's teachings.
Reagan was successful with his campaign about "welfare queens" driving fancy cars and living in mansions and other falsehoods. People believed it then and now. They refuse to admit they were lied to and are still lie to themselves. All they had/have to do is the math and they would know that they were being sold a bill of goods along with his other ideas about how the world turns. An actor. The teflon president.
Newt is going down that same path with his dog whistles and stale prejudices about people more than any other "candidate" we now have. All I can do is hope that people wake up and listen to the truth about the corrupt, mean-spiritedness that exemplifies Newt Gingrich. He even compares his third wife to Nancy Reagan to give potential voters that warm and fuzzy feeling of the Reagan era. There are still too many people that worship at the altar of Reagan even though he basicly was a con-artist...just as Newt is.
God help us all if the "right" continues to get their way.
Kathe well you see Rush Limbaugh has a particular role to play in the world of politics, his purpose is to say horrible mean spirited things to anyone who shows any support for something the GOP might be against. Rush is the GOP rodeo clown that means when the bull(reality) is going after one of riders(Republicans) he jumps in and distracts everyone so the politician can quietly walk things back and escape the scrutiny.
Now Newt...Newt Gingrich is a genuine narcissist who is more than willing to say anything if he thinks it will give him some political points. I think it's incredibly difficult to actually know what Newt really thinks about anything. Other than himself of course.
Honestly when decided to call the ground zero mosque(which wasn't really at ground zero or a mosque) a "command center of terrorism" is when I lost just about all the respect I might have had for him and the Fox news network
From President Lincoln:
“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. Nor is it denied that there is, and probably always will be, a relation between labor and capital, producing mutual benefits. The error is in assuming that the whole labor of community exists within that relation.”
LOL! I thought Lush Dumbah just added to the bull. Great analogy!
Newt's a bigger liar and flip-flopper than Romney. He thinks he's above everything. Even audio and video doesn't make him rethink what crap comes out of his mouth. Anybody who quotes what he says is a liar? What a joke! *Most definitely* a narcissist.
Cain is "suspending" his candidacy? Is that until it's time to cash in for campaign expense reimbursements? That's a curious term for him to use at this time.
Herman Cain you see is cryogenically freezing his campaign to with the intention bringing it back to life at a later when he's made up cure for all these sex scandals and his crazy 999 plan.
But like people who are cryogenically frozen there is little to no chance that the campaign will ever be actually revived.
Ed Schulz is an absolute big fat windbag.....
You really need that self esteem problem you have taken care of. it seem to be driving you nuts.
but you can get help real easy.
Ed is the biggest Idiot!!!
LOL
so does self esteem problems a tea party/teapubliecant thing? as it seems you all sure have the same disposition.
just dont fiqure / now the ows protesters (heee heee heee) say they may need therapy (hee hee hee) do to being arrested Haaaa Haaaa Haaaa! WOW i say throw-em in with bubba (jail) there they'll learn what life is about! LMAO idiots Haaa Haaa Haaa!
The facts are irrefutable. The Republican message is resonating w/ working people. Not the proletariat mobs of brain-dead laborers and out of work surplus population you hope to incite to violence w/ your Marxist invective, but real American Dream seekers. They are tired of supporting baby factory welfare moms. They want the OWS whiners to shut up and get out of the street so they can get to work on time. They want teachers to quit pretending to be the noblest strata of society when we all know there are a hundred worthless teachers for every stellar educator. Don't throw a tantrum when you don't get your way (Wisconsin). Conservatives don't believe that throwing tax money at a problem will fix it (thousands of dollars per student in inner- city schools and they still suck). Neo-cons accept that rich people are a natural result of hard work leading to success. That, once at that level, they are job creators. But that doesn't mean I get to take his profit (obscene though it may be) and demand it be re-distributed for some greater good. We accept that the evil in the world must be stamped out. Not reasoned with nor negotiated with. We help those in need but won't subsidize laziness or accept defeatist excuses. The left has cast a tent over too many slackers, daydreaming poets, pot smokers, welfare sponges, idealistic Utopians, socialists, Marxists, communists, Gaea-worshipers, and animal-human marriage advocates to be tolerated anymore. The Right is now like a tolerant parent whose kids have a garage band that's been raising hell out back for too long. We put up w/ it as long as we can but, DAMN-IT! We have to get up and go to work! We have to make money to support your worthless asses so, SHUT UP AND GO TO BED! And oh, by the way.... Get up in the morning and go down and take that job unloading trucks that you turned down last month because it didn't pay enough and was too much like manual labor. Yes. I know you have a 2-year degree in video game design but they aren't hiring. Joe Bob's Feed and Seed IS hiring. GET A JOB! Don't whine. Don't make excuses. GET IT DONE! That's what made America great. Our forefathers GOT IT DONE! The Rockefellers and Vanderbilts didn't keep our grandfathers down. They worked and sacrificed and suffered for a working mans dollar and they GOT IT DONE when it was time to pay rent, buy groceries, keep the lights on, these providers found a way. They didn't throw a hissy-fit and storm off to piss on Dupont's front lawn.
The Republican party's hate filled rhetoric will never fly. America doesn't want you "xtian values" subverting the constitution.
As long as your party is not willing to annex birther racists and glenn beck style conspiracy theorist you'd be fools to put all your ducks in a row.
Since Republicans have "taken back" congress job approval <9% what a great job you guys are doing
