It is really nice that the ALEC is being exposed, the koch brothers are being exposed and soon more will come to light. Women, and men are becoming more aware of the secret agenda of the gop and large corporations are ignoring the poor and the middle class.
Five Hundred Anti-abortion bills submitted since 2010!!! (see Rachel Maddow (4-5-12)!
Yeah, it's clear that the economy is the most important thing on the GOP agenda...Wait for the backlash GOP, you won't survive. RIP. wait a minute...make that ROT IN HELL...
RL,
Rachel Maddow was ON FIRE last evening.
her diatribe last evening on rick snyder, the gov. of michigan, and the republican law makers there, was/is must see TV.
james inhofe (repub senator, oklahoma) watches her show. when the truth is presented to repubs in that way, i always wonder what they think, and how they can justify the actions of their party.
Amen Erin, Amen.
Join the Sex Strike. No poonany for political ninnies!
I don't have anything profound to say about this issue, but if it looks like a duck
walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. IT'S A DUCK!
We butterflies will declare war on the gop.
Thankful, Good Friday to you. I have been busy till now making Rice Krispies for my family for Easter treats. It Is wonderful that ALEX is getting its up and comings finally. There was someone who wanted sign petitions can you post all those links again? Pepsi and Coke have left them! The GOP had better shake in there boots when we cute little Butterflies go to war! There is no hell on Earth like a woman scorn.

If the GOP only understood that women think about the Economy when they consider the costs of health insurance, healthcare, and contraception. And that when GOP Reps. talk about defunding Planned Parenthood, killing Medicare, etc., women would really start thinking about the economy - just maybe, the GOP might realize that they did, as a matter of fact, start a War on Women.
The GOP says they are for smaller government, it turns out they are for communist government. To them ANY actions justify the means. So sure are they of their fundamental beliefs that they think any actions justify the results.
In one state in America, the GOP has suspended Democracy by dismantling and removing democratically elected officials and placing a tsar in control of whole parts of the states. Within those areas the citizens have no democratic rights and no representation.
They then moved to throw out the state constitution and pas their own laws and rules completely ignoring their own constitution. And finally they removed the rights of the minority party to even vote.
For all intents and purposes the rule of law has been suspended, Democracy has been suspended, the minorities have lost their right to democratically elected representation and the GOP has installed fundamentalist extremist rule.
In fact its not so much communist Russia as it is a fundamentalist extremist state with dictatorial rule….much like Iran. And this is happening in America
I wish this was some sort of joke article or some sort of exaggeration, but the story I am writing about has been covered in the Post, the NY Times and other mainstream news organizations…..but no one seems to care…..Do you?

Sounds Like You Are Speaking About Michigan = For Sure !!!! It IS Disgusting And UN-AMERICAN -= Yes -The FOURTH REICH HAS ARRIVED !!!!! tea-baggin'-gop Of The Present And Future !!!!!!
Michigan needs more light shown on it. It's bothersome that Citizens in a US State having to see this happen. The legislature voted and approved a bill today(?) to make it more difficult to repeal this draconian law. They did it without counting those who supported or were against it. What nerve.
I can't understand how they can get away with this legislation without the vote of the people. They voted for a Governor and got a dictator. They're trying to pass a law that precludes the minority representatives from voting. What's that supposed to be about? Where does their sense of Democracy and obeyance of their Constitution fit into all this?
I'm just wondering if the people in these Cities will be allowed to vote in State and Federal elections.
MD.....what are you doing about this? The brown shirts are coming. They're stealing a park so that Westinghouse can build a golf course. That park was deeded to them in perpetuity from a man who owned the land. Is Michigan like Ohio where they just have to ride this out until his term is up?
These emergency managers are not elected officials or judges. It's like vulture capitalism. The "czar" is stripping every thing of value from the Cities and then what? Nothing left. So sad.
It's called bankruptcy cruxly, can I call you 69? When companies (or in this instance, communities) go bankrupt, they lose control of their budget and have the court make financial decisions until the entity become financially solvent. Don't act like this is something new, it has gone on as long as there has been inept leadership! MD/MI, get over it!
Hey RL (112/4), do you really believe all that or are you just being sarcastic? MF's comments (118) were a short list and was “collapsed…”, good thing yours is on the “right” side of the spectrum (pun intended). I can see you can blog in whole sentences; there’s no way you can be that politically gullible to accept that much spin, can you?
Easy, watch out! They could be everywhere (113), or anywhere? And you guys cast aspersions on birthers?
You certainly got that right, Dee (117)! Got to get to PT, y'all have a great day and God Bless! Just prayin'
This troll hasn't been here for a while. He got nabbed. See him later?
tyler
your simple brains in such a twist?
Jeff W.-3714508, you're banned. Out of chances.
Above all else, respect others. Address issues and arguments and refrain from making personal attacks.

The other one got nabbed, then let go......so sad.
We do like a clean house. Not a bunch of bad vibes cluttering it up.
Hi TM!
When the Wart got banned, iszmee got suspended. He's also an occasional troll that comes through here.
It's a bummer to have bad vibes. <s>
I love this sight for trolls, it tells them where they can get help for their problem.
http://communitiesonline.homestead.com/dealingwithtrolls.html
the war on women is as real as the economic recovery...38 straight months over 8% now...38 months...EVERY SINGLE unemployment report under Obama has been over 8%...a number he promised we'd never even reach...
but here is Ed again, asking a question that just isn't relevant to anything...a week of "War on women" questions,t hen a week on Trayvon, then more "War on women" questions...I'll give Ed credit...he can certainly deflect attention away from the awful state of our union, and his disciples are quick to line up and follow this pied-piper...
I blame Newt Gingrich for the high numbers,As he added all the grade school kids as being unemployed! Obama must get more stimulus money to build more school bathrooms so they all can have a jobs! But the GOP didn't accept it on the jobs bill!
http://mjperry.blogspot.com/2012/03/private-job-growth-over-last-12-months.html
If it was Mitt or McCain we would be deep in a depression.
Did you know what kind of flour was used to make the bread for the last supper?
Holy wheat,Self rising!
Ed - why did you report a 200000 jobs gain when it was only 100000? This self-delusion will make Permanent republican Power a rfeality as it certainly appears wqe are headed for and this GOP is really a dangerous rightwing organization.
thats what MSNBC does- report false stories as fact (like they did with the Apple/ Microsoft boycott, and the doctored Zimmerman call and video)...its how they build up such a loyal following...
CATT..
What happened to you??? You took some ugly disposition pills?......oh.... had a big slug tea I reckon..
Its all we can do to keep up the troll ratings! It all started when Sarah Palin joined NBC and infected everyone else with the noise virus!
NBC is playing follow your leader Rush Limbaugh!
Morning Tom... nice comment... LOL... :)
nah, just replying to a comment...with some truth...its an undeniable truth that MSNBC recently ran 2 wrong stories...the ones i mentioned...I am not saying they did it INTENTIONALLY...the Apple/ Microsoft story, they just didnt do any research on...i mena, true, it was on a COMEDY BLOG...but hey, if it fits their agenda, run it, right? even if its a SATIRE (it said so in the story)...
the other one was more disturbing...the video of Zimmerman was doctored...thats been proven now, and NBC admitted to playing a doctored tape of the Zimmerman emergency call...
so i wasn't getting nasty or anything, I just hate seeing "news" agencies make stuff up...it is very disappointing to me...thats all.
Its another liberal trick! Hee Hee Hee Hee!
Hello xxx...
everybody go out for lunch?
I have not heard anything about doctored tapes... that stuff makes a terrible crime look good.
The fact that he shot an unarmed man....... but they had to doctor the tapes?????... Hope you don't mind I would like to hear NBC say that is what happened..
I just read it was a 120k.... so you're all wrong.. hahaha
Here you go TOm...NY Magazine, hardly a conservative site:
http://www.nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/04/nbc-investigating-segment-on-zimmerman-call.html?imw=Y
you can see what NBC did here to inflame racial tensions, making it look like Zimmerman said "He's up to no good, he looks black". thats not what happened...additionally, the video of Zimmerman at the police station was doctored to show no blood...
http://www.examiner.com/populist-in-national/zimmerman-video-shows-injury-as-media-coverage-comes-under-fire
that one wasn't NBC- it was ABC- but they still ran with it, and reported it as fact, and even had a ROUND TABLE on Ed's show, looping the video over, and over, and over in the background...
you are right- it makes a terrible situation come into question...the situation was bad enough without editing things, but it wasn't "Racially charged" enough for the likes of NBC I guess...
i have been calling for FACTS since day 1 of this whole thing...its tough to get them, when you have 2 major news orgainzations distoring the facts...
Tom:I don'tknow,I don't think my jokes where that bad! NBC why have you forsaken thee? I think some of the tapes where once again taken out of context and where edited and stated that at the time of the airing.....Take it and run!!!! FOX on the run!
I am off to look at a couple of videos and then I downloaded "Rules of Engagement" Time for a laugh and then to bed.. goodnight all..
barry is half white he is not african american
Sorry you are wrong about that too. When are you tea bagging republicans ever get past your 100% wrong on everything stigma.
Let us see, Mom is white, Dad was black, what are we missing???
That would make him black by skin tone, it is ok to say the president looks black, I mean really he sure doesn't look white and it is an racist insult to claim that he doesn't look black, which would have been enough to get him barred from white restaurants, white drinking fountains, white bathrooms and a seat at the back of the bus during the Jim Crow days. The only way that would be untrue is if Obama looked like his mothers side of the family. Since he doesn't he doesn't get the choice to decide what side of the family he wants to call himself as he is labeled by society as a black man.
His ethnicity is white and black which makes him a Mulatto and makes it very easy for you libs to claim he is black when it suits his and your purpose even though he was raised in a white household by a white mother and took full advantage of all the programs made available to him through affirmative action.
He has the choice and made the choice that offered him the most benefits when it suited his purpose. Except when it comes to his church and Rev. GD America Wright.
you sure fit your nick
LOL
And a racist. Funny how Obama brings out the righties inner David Duke. Funny how he ignores also that his attacks on Rev. Wright who neither ran for office or made any national headlines until the GOP went digging and took Rev. Wrights sermon out of context to paint him as a radical terrorist. Yet a Grand Wizard of the KKK, David Duke did run for public office under the GOP banner.
The Founding fathers must have gotten it all WRONG! They must have, they are still working on it! I guess you might call it job security. Its a great job though make a law than repeal it and give yourself a raise for working so hard!
Good Afternoon everyone. Good Friday and may everyone have a wonderful Easter weekend.Day 41 and still no arrest of George Zimmerman ! Hopefully he will think about the young man he killed this weekend and do some soul searching! May God bless Trayvons family as this is there first holiday with out there son.
Ohio mourns for 3 of fallen and flags are at half staff. May God be with there familys. Have a wonderful day everyone and take a moment to count your many blessings.
Because the GOP congress is more worried about writing useless laws to restrict womens health needs. 569 bills have left congress for restrictions on women and filibusters galore when Democrats but budget bills out.
Over day 1000 and still no budget from the Democrats in the Senate..
LOL going to hear this stale crap a lot i bet, hell guess he doesn't know the government does not run on a budget but on supplemental s. funny they seem to not remember the over 1000 day non budgets as well.
smiling and let the whiner start the whining!
Pilotshark, what these morons don't understand is there is a Dem budget proposed but the teabaggers are holding it up in committee. Imagine that, the teabaggers holding up progress for this country.
Right except there isn't a filibuster proof majority. Once again someone doesn't know how congress does business.
beachsand,
I hope this chart comes through, because it will show you the vicious direction unemployment was going as early as Jan. 08. If it doesn't come through, here is the website. It is plan to see the trend started by little bush in Jan. 08 continued to Jan. 2010... then as Obama's plans kicked in, it started going down.
Sorry, there were 2 charts there and they did not come through, but it is plan to see on the website.

There you go again hurting the poor tea bagging republicans heads with facts.
Just in case. Tom wanted to set him straight, but that was not what the little panhead wanted. He is sybil who just wants to take on another personality.
Shush TM I knew who he was his first post, gee can't we have fun and get a few laughs out of the re regs before they get banned again. LOL
And Mittens is never going to be president. Nor is the tea bagged republican going to be known as anything more then a bunch of stupid people that were to dumb to look up what the term they wanted to call themselves meant.
rinse pree-bus forgets that we can SEE and HEAR his "vaginal probe" governors, representatives and senators on state and federal levels pronouncing their WARS ON WOMEN, CHILDREN, GAYS, LATINOS AND BLACKS. They probably think their actions will endear us to them, or, they think they will continue to whip us until our attitude improves. Either way, those actions won't keep a dog under the porch, and it just dawned on them. hahahahahaha. whooo-hooo
I don't know about the vaginal prob stuff, mickie, but every time I get gas I get a little more frustrated with Obama! I don't know about any "wars on women, children, gays Latinos and blacks, but I am frustrated with a sagging economy and excuses about Bush! Just sayin'
STOW-It Cap !!!!!!!!!! === OH Thats RITE - Its ALL OBAMA's Fault !!!! Ha Haaa !!!! == $h!T !!!!!!!!

India, Good Friday afternoon to ya! Are you ready for Sunday ? I have lot baking and things to do tomorrow. Made lots rice Krispie treats today. We are supose have rain Sunday .
Thanks India, that is one of my favorites! Let's all take time to thank God for our great country, our individual and collective prosperity, but mostly for our saviour's payment of his perfect life for our salvation!
Happy Easter, Captain.
Do you guys think Anthony Weiner or Bill Clinton had a war on women?
Just curious? Any lesbian feminists care to weigh in?
Name one bill that either supported or sponsored that took womens rights away. Yeah I thought so go play with Diaper Dave and Larry Craig, you can have a tea bag party.
I thought there was a new era of civility being called for since Gabby Gifford was shot by an a-political lunatic and Sara Palin was somehow blamed with everyone on the right. Your response seems very uncivil. According to the left it's comments like this that causes the violence so common amongst occupy er, I mean the Tea Party. Please keep it civil.
As far as the tea bag party comment, are you inferring there is something wrong with that. Wouldn't that make you homophobic and put you at the same level of stupidity as George W Bush. Maybe as bad as DICK CHENEY?????
Please just be civil and answer my question. I never said anything about a bill that those wonderful gentleman sponsered. I'm referring to the oral sex and cigar sex Bill Clinton had in the white House with a young intern. I'm also referring to the Lion of the Left, Anthony Weiner sending pictures of his Weiner to young ladies. Both these "gentlemen" seem to have a skewed view of women and how ladies should be treated. They also seem to be at war with women in a twisted pornographic sense.
Speaking of Mr. Ed, he sure has a gentlemanly way with women. Calling Laura Ingram a slut and all. That was both civil AND non-misogynistic. I guess he is very qualified to lead the sudden charge the left has ginned up in defense of women from those cretin right wingers. Good old Ed, if all these caring "men" from the left weren't there to protect abused women, what would we ever do?
Did Anthony Weiner and Bill Clinton have a war on women? What do you folks think?
think you are not loading enough powder to get your shot out of the muzzle.
LOL
Maybe he will fire it off one more time. Who cares about dirty old men.....and I think their problems were they liked women too much and more than their share....Does he know the difference and neither has a political career anymore.....Just like the newt fading into nothingness.
