Don't you love it when you are posting and the screen goes all white? What happened, TM?
Don't know, it just went to nothing when I started to post. Now what was I going to say?
Yep, love it. It has happened to me too
The American people will see that the teapublicans are only interested in defeating the president, not what's good for the country.
Republicans are racist liars and they are not very well educated which is why they love the drama and the lies. I have some republican friends that truly believe Obama is trying to reduce the pay and benefits of our soldiers! I have no idea where this comes from and I'm getting tired of explaining to them that Obama is on their side. Obama is working tirelessly to support the military and their families. The only possible conclusion is that republicans are just plain racist and stupid!!! Obama is black so everything he does is wrong... no matter what! And, if you consider that republican congressmen want to cut funding for education, their plan becomes obvious. Uneducated idiots and morons believe any ridiculous thing you tell them and always vote republican. Increase the level of education and there will be no republicans left... the repubs will not allow that to happen!
Why do you count racists, liars as your friends ? Do you have any facts to support your claims that Republicans are racists ? This Republican would vote for Allen West in a heart beat. Cuts in education ? There are no cuts, there is is only a reduction in the increase if we are lucky!
Now, Europe is falling off a cliff because of their run away spending; I must say this, President Obama is running towars the same cliff as fast as he can. Now, how can anyone claim that his supporters are so informed ?No, we cannot tax our way out of this mess regardless of what you may believe.
Anyway, Merry Christmas to all !
I should like to remind my Democratic friends and colleagues that "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."
It follows then--one can go bankrupt, or even "go down with the ship," by giving them too much credit!
Very true
We need to get the media to do it's job as our government watchdog. It seems that it is business as usual with legislation. They keep putting unrelated amendments into all of the new legislation, like the XL pipeline bit added to the middle class tax bill, and the direct violations of the Constitution that are attached to the defense appropriations legislation that gives the president dictator type powers to have Americans arrested and renditioned aka hauled off to secret prisons without any of our Constitutional guarantees considered. Are we not innocent until proven guilty in a court of law as it says in the Constitution? And the president is not part of that process. Welcome to the Fatherland! We are now a full-blown police state complete with fascist laws and the works. All of this is done to us by the Zionazi's spies from abroad lodged deep in our government. It does seem that this government is more afraid of the people than we thought, they must be doing something terribly evil in secret to be that afraid of the citizens. I am referring to the whole body not just one part or party or another. I am not being unpatriotic as some may say or think I am in all reality looking out for our nation/people before any others, unlike a majority of the government who seem to put israeli interests before ours, or try to make their interests ours. When israel won't even consider any American interests before they take hostile actions against their neighbors. George Washington was right about us not getting into foreign entanglements or treaties that are not in our interest.
I am a little surprised here ! All of Ed's guests share the same views. Is he trying to be Fox 2 ?
GOP/Tea Party House is like a snake with ten heads. John Boehner has lost control and his radical members all think they are the leader, especially Eric Cantor who has two goals: 1. To defeat President Obama in 2012 and 2.) To become speaker of the house. Dave Camp is full of himself and splitting hairs by saying the extension should be 3 months instead of two months. McConnell has also lost it: saying that the GOP House should vote for the 2 month extension and then Senator Reid should conference to discuss a year extension. The latter was always the plan so it makes no sense. We also know that the GOP House does not really want to extend the payroll tax cuts for the middle class and will use the conference to push their radical agenda to cut necessary programs. Also, as we know, they want to make it hard for those who are unemployed to receive unemployment benefits with drug testing and GED requirements. This is just like the Voter ID Laws. If the public does not vote these characters out of office in 2012, we are going to be stuck.. Also, I just learned that here is Illinois, no one is going to run against Joe Walsh next year. If I lived in his district I would for sure.
