Paul Ryan wants to send profits on things made in the USA to the offshore banks so they don't have to pay for corporate income tax. Its another way to BANKRUPT the US government. And remove it. Hence a private army, air force, navy postal system ect.....
XXX OOO, The great Republican way to move this nation Backward. Divide and Privatize ! This is away of making more money for there buddies! Heck It would not surprise me they make all bathrooms in America pay toilets. When i was in Chexoslavakia right after the Russians left i will always remember two women setting in the bathroom with a neat basket of two squares of folded toilet paper. It felt like sand paper. You gave them a small amount of money for the paper. This was there job and will the Re Pubs get that bad !!!! Say read to day on Green peace Lucy Lawless "ZENA" helped stop a oil ship from heading to the ANTARTICA where they want to drill in pristine waters. An oil spill there will be devastating. This is the 21st century and they are taking shovels and brooms. As Rachael showed another oil spill in Louisiana and they use what PAPER TOWELS! Come on USA hold these people accountable. Petition our Government and the big oil companies to get there act together and stop the damn drilling till they come us with modern technology to clean up there disasters! I have not figured how they will stop earth quakes yet?I posted today they are taking 3 million gallons of water out of river here for fracking and who knows where the waste water is going to be dumped ! If we have a drought here we are in big trouble! We have one earth and we are loosing it one well and spill at a time. Ask your self how many millions of gallons of water are used by the oil industry and will we see water cost more than oil one day ?
You got that right sister! I was thinking and I came to this conclusion, That the people who hate Obama/ DEMS Liberals just hate and aren't afraid of what will happen if Obama gets a 2nd term, Just mad and kill make threats ect... We on the other hand at least myself see the the threat of what they WILL do and I'm afraid scared some too. If they could only see the truth beyond the deception they too would be scared. If Obama wins and think he will, Will it be pandemonium? Murder Death Kill as a revolt a tea party crazed revolution? I fear that too. But not as much as if the GOP gains control.
If you put up political signs in your yard best pull them up if Obama looks as if he will win on Nov 6th.
xo, I am riding around with my OBAMA/BIDEN free sticker inside my car in the back windshield. I have not seen one single Romney sticker here in the state of Al. But today I did hear someone say "I can't believe he (Obama)has been **** yet"
I pray for him everyday!
We all need to pray for President Obama's safety. There is so much hate around America...and it's going to get worse as the election gets closer.
You are two great gals!
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan warned that people “are going to kill
their leaders” for selling them out in a speech he gave at LeMoyne-Owens College in Memphis, Tennessee earlier this month. In the past, Farrakhan admits his comments led to the assasination of Malcolm X.
He said, “You want to be leaders, right, you’re sure, you’re sure,” he said. “You better check yourself because leadership is nothing to play with because people tomorrow maybe in a few days are going to kill their leaders who’ve been selling them out. That’s why we’re in the shape that we’re in right now because we have corrupt people or people who started off good and got corrupted.”
Many believe that he was talking about President Obama who he feels has sold out the Black Community.
"Many'..aka Fox and Friends
Republicans are trying to divide this country in any/all ways possible. Race, gender, economy, foreign policy...you name it!
I'd love to see any Republican walk in a poor persons shoes for one week. I'd like to see them go without food, electric, water, gas & etc. and then come back and tell everyone they still want to make all them cuts for the poor, elderly, and children. I doubt if it would make a difference but I'd sure like to see it.
let g.m. die, and bin laden run free! republican strategy lie and win elections, party of NO nothing to run on!
Both parties are dividing the country, they're in bed together. They're laughing at articles like this!
And you are from which planet?
Sorry Joy but Sparrow is right.
If you bothered to focus on the similarities of the actions of both parties instead of trivial differences they appear to be bickering over you'd see their agenda of control is the same.
The division is happening by design to keep us distracted in this minutia while they do exactly what they want to do.
This is a big wheel with a century of momentum behind it turning in exactly the direction they want it to go. The transfer of control continues while the masses continue to be distracted by diversionary agenda pushed by the media.
It doesn't matter what Obama says he's going to change. The truth is that nothing is going to change except more transfer of control from us to them. Obama has no intention of changing anything no matter what he says. Even if he did have intentions of changing anything meaningful he couldn't.
It doesn't matter what Romney is promising either because that's all a lie too.
Read Orwell.
the only people who think that the Repubs has done a great job on national security are the ones who watch fake foxx news and believe that water boarding is how we captured bin ladin.
Sooo- my answer would be the guys over on the other network, who still refuse to admit that there were no weapons of mass destruction
Paul Ryan calls his budget, "The Path to Prosperity", that's true, prosperity for his wealthy, 1%, corporate masters!! How much more do these greedy wealthy swines need?
The republican obstruction has led to the middle class' and poor's destruction! Where is the lame stream media to call out Ryan on his, "territorial tax" proposal that's in his budget? Why the reticence with regards to this corporate gift, on the part of the media? Can you say complicity?
All his life, Paul Ryan has practically worshiped Ayn Rand. He built his budget around her atheistic philosophy of greed and selfishness. Now the Catholic church is giving him a hard time, so this lying hypocrite is repudiating Ayn Rand because she is an atheist.

Is there one honest man/woman in the GOP? Just one? If so, I have no knowledge of him/her.
There was little division under the Bush Administration. The country was behind Bush at the onset of both Wars. The division started with Obama's world wide apology tour. Unlike Michelle was that said she was finally proud of being an American, Obama has yet to make such an admission. He acts as if there is some thing wrong with being an American, that has created the division.
The "whole" country was NOT behind Bush at the onset of both unnecessary wars.
What worldwide apology tour? The division started when people like you started making insane statements like the one you just made. What is it about this president that makes you so paranoid, could it be the color of his skin? Evidently it's not 2ez4u2c facts.
Why is it that the left can't argue on facts but immediately has to play the race card? Why is it not possible for anyone to disagree with this president without being called a racist?
2ez
You really need to get out of the sun. It's frying you brain. The country started dividing under GWB. And continues to this day with the GOP lies, racism and hatred.
Stormy
Maybe if you could name one other President in American History that has gone through your sides Birth Certifivate crap, you might dispell the racist comments. Until that time, actions speak louder than words.
Larry:
In case you forgot, it was a DEMOCRAT who originally brought up the question.
I guess Hillary and Bill are racists...
Wow, I was under the impression Congress and the majority of Citizens were behind Bush. If not why was he elected twice and why did he get congressional approval for the wars?
Bush was not "elected" twice he was "selected" twice.
I guess Romney thinks it's his turn next...
Well, 2ez, there was that first election in 2000 that he stole, thanks to the Republican appointees on the Supreme Court....faulty memory on your part, apparently.
And that second one he stole in 2004. Bush was never elected President...
2ez4u2c--Well here we go again, the news reporter from Facts News Fox, hot off the press of the TP paper, Bush was never elected by the people of this country, the Florida State Supreme Court hijacked the election votes, and made stupid the President by default. I wonder how much it cost the Bush Family to get the results they got??? The Sign said, Mission Accomplished, now we know!!!
Whereas the majority of the voters did not vote for Bush in 2000, only gathering 47.87% of the vote to Gore's 48.38%, neither candidate won the plural majority. Bush was legally determined to be the winner in Florida by the SCOTUS, like it or not. Democrats need to stop the whining.
In 2004, Bush was selected by 50.73% of the people which is a MAJORITY, defeating Kerry by over 3,000,000 votes. He beat Kerry in 30 of the 50 states.
The only discernible difference in the two elections was that in 2004, Bush was able to win in AZ and Iowa, two states that he had lost in 2000. Additionally, Kerry was able to win in Vermont, which was a state that Gore had lost in 2000.
I can't believe these libs are still whining that Bush stole the election even after his terms have ended.
It's over. If that's what happened then it's still over. Long gone. History.
Why can't you guys move on?
Oh yeah, to move on would mean you'd have to address the fact that Obama is a failure without the whining and excuses that it's someone elses fault.
Well, let's not pretend that the Democrats aren't doing the same thing. I saw Biden standing in front of a sign recently that said "An Economy Built To Last".
I don't know what's a bigger joke, Biden or the sign.
He didn't get congressional approval. To have that he would need a formal declaration of war, which never happened.
Obama is doing the exact same thing.
They are engaging in unconstitutional military actions via the use of the War Powers Resolution of 1973 (a fundamentally unconstitutional law).
After 60 days of combat in Libya in 2011, Obama failed to seek congressional authorization to continue the action, but he responded with the excuse that US leadership in the action was transferred to NATO so he didn't have to.
So that's the new and improved method of going to war without congressional approval and skirting around the War Powers Resolution to continue it.
CHI...I think you misread the sign that Biden was standing in front of...it must have actually read..."An Economy built to BE last"
Just No other answer then the GOP. I'm still tring to figure out How a Nobody like Grover Norquist is able to tie up Half the Congress & found a DO Nothing Congress without that oath be close If not Treason. I would mine If Eric Holder looked into it as such. Gosh I'm wondring weather Pit bulls are delicious as I've heard? Good night Mr. Ed Schultz see you on the Radio. Really can't wait for Obama-Biden 2nd term to began & Scott Walker is passed tense.

The republicans are trying to destroy America. It's so obvious...And what's so bad is the repubs that want to vote for Romney will be "going down" as well.
...Republicans that are not in the 1% will not be saved.
It's sad and scary how many will vote Republican, regaurdless of how bad the candidate is, simply because he's Republican.
Or simply because he's the "all white" one.
Mitt Romney's run for the Oval Office is nothing more than a pup chasing a porcupine scenario. So ......... What's he gonna do with if when he catches it?
When is somebody just gonna say the truth about Mitt Romney? Look, the only way Willard will ever be able to rid himself of his father's ghost is to accomplish something his father failed at ... win the Presidency. Then and only then will Willard feel he is a more successful man than George Romney. T H A T , is his primary political motivation.
Willard has has already said he would pretty much outsource all foreign policy matters to the State Department, which to me is a self admittance that foreign policy is his weakness and isn't comfortable to make those type decisions - why? - to Willard Romney, foreign policy is loaded with quills.
I would argue that with growing concerns in the Middle East, ( ie; Iran of course, Syria, and now even possible diplomatic tensions with China), I can't possibly see any logic in electing a man who has basically admitted he is clueless on foreign affairs and
who has declared he will turn those matters over to "whoever he decides to appoint as" Sec. of State. Has anyone asked him who that would be?
The Righties called then Senator Obama "an unexperienced community organizer" when he ran in 2008, I would suggest that now President Obama has experienced dealing with several different porcupines in the last 3 years and to me ..... he looks pretty good for the wear.
I'll be hollerin',

Think Paul Ryan has his signals mixed and has crossed the line.

Paul Ryan does not want to talk about Any Rand......

Heard part of your show today.While taking a call from another listener, you described your broadcast as "liberal radio, where people come for the truth." Since you have assumed "truth" as your standard, I look forward for a new agenda that eliminates the juvenile descriptions of Republicans as idiots, a more balanced approach to commentary, for example your rants against Gov. Walker could also be applied to our President and Democratic leadership. Specifically a failed economic policy, failure to decrease job loss and decrease unemployment. Also an honest evaluation of proposals to preserve Medicare, and the repeated lack of a Democratic budget proposal. I would refer you to a review of candidate Obama's campaign promises relative to his failed policies including the Affordable Care Act.
Sometimes truth and candor are a recipe for success, not the continued pandering to the failed policies of President Obama,Sen. Reid and Cong. PelosI.
So Bush's economic policy was a successful policy? Where did Obama fail? And anyone who thinks that we should go back to the same failed Bush policies that didn't work here and are not working for Europe is an idiot.
Phil
Your first sentance counters the rest of your comment. He said Liberal talk. Not balanced. Truth not balanced. What part of Liberal Talk Radio did you not understand?
Phil, you can't handle the Truth!
Has anybody heard how Romney plans to fix the economy or get people back to work?
I'd like a republican Romney fan to answer this question (if they can)
He has a plan for the rich.. We know how he's going to help his rich fat cat cronies but what about the rest of America...
President Barack Obama does have a plan. So far his plans are working without republicans help. Kick out all repubs in the house and senate in November.
Toyota
You haven't heard the news. If the corporations and rich didn't have to pay those nasty taxes, they would create jobs. Haven't you heard about all those jobs they've created in the last 10 years. In every country but this one.
The time has come for the political pandering to the failed policies of President Obama,Sen. Reid and Cong. Pelosi to end. The Affordable Care Act is unaffordable, the campaign promises of 2008- increased jobs, decreased unemployment and the fictional war on women have reached the point of no return.
We can no longer afford unchecked government spending, unlimited political giveaways that become failures such as the Chevy Volt and Solyndra.
The unchecked debt is only exceeded by the arrogance of this administration.
How much do they pay you to spread this BS? Your policies on everyone who is not a white, elderly, rich male are about as arrogant as it gets.
Phil...hasn't heard. Unemployment is down and Obama has helped create several million jobs. Would have been more except for GOP blocking every bill that would possibly help the economy.
38 straight months of unemployment ABOVE 8%
It's obvious phillierad just crawled out of is hole and has missed the wonderful things President Obama's been doing this past 3.5 years.. crawl back in your hole phillierad and look for Bush while your down there.
In case you repubs have been in the hole with phillerad, President Obama captured Bin laden last year...Mission Accomplished.
HEY BUSH... OBAMA NEEDS THAT MISSION ACCOMPLISHED BANNER...go find it.
hay phillirad; Who do you supposed is the cause for the collapse of Wall Street and Big Banks, Bail out of both, Tax Cuts for the Rich (twice), Mortgage Crisis we are enjoying today. Drug plan for seniors, profits for drug cos. The Big ONE-Two (unpaid) wars started by BUSH/Cheney. 25 million people lost their jobs by no fault of their own making, Jobs 6-7 million shipped oversea by large Corp., 50 million with NO MEDICAL Insurance Coverage. Cuts in Food stamps program, Education, Police, Teachers, Para-Medics. City Workers, Union workers, minimum wage jobs, all part of the republican policies into ruin of this Great Nation. President Obama INHERITED this mess from the TP Republicans in 2009. Since day one its been the party of NO by the TP repubs. TP repubs want to privatize Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Public Education. They want to stay in the dark ages, because they have know Idea how to get out of this mess they put us in??? They have taken this Nation into the ditch and rolled it four or five times with no seat belts, no insurance. Mission Accomplished!!!
Well with all these horrible things allegedly done by Bush- you would have expected that the Dems when they controlled both houses of congress and the white house to fix all these problems- but- well didn't happen-
I think all the Republicans think they are shewed and slick and forgot that the President, an African American went to Yale and Harvard, so he is not stupid. He knows what they are trying to do.

The Democrats have been dividing this country ever since the Left took it over in the early 1970's. Obama's recent comments using the death of Osama as a reelection tool is disgusting. Even the Seals now are pissed about this. I expect any response to this post, as with any disagreement the Left has with anyone, will just be name calling and insults.
And you're going to try and tell us if GWB, or any Repub had got him, they wouldn't be doing the same damn thing. Get real.
Yes I would!
Obama got Osama, something Bush couldn't do...
Actually, the political Left took over in 1932, not the 70's. And it was damn good thing, too...
lamalevi2-first who was responsible for taken down Osama, The President gave the order, Not Bush, remember Bush said he didn't care anymore about him. The worse President we ever had, Mr Geo. W. Bush, Mission Accomplished. News Fact; CIA just found out that Cheney really did have a heart, but had to remove it because it was bad. Long live the King!!! Don't forget, Osama is living with the fishes!!! POOR FISH!
I saw Obama on the news tonight giving Bush the credit for laying the groundwork. I have to give Obama credit on this point, can any of you give Bush any credit?
and IF the Republicans were to do the same thing, the Democrats would be the first ones in line to complain about how they were politicizing the event.
Rachel NOOooooo....prison tonight! YAY!!!!
Nope, you have a repreave til friday nigh. Make good use of the extra time.
Wheeo that was close!!!!
Remember Mitch McConnell and his cohorts initiated their vast propaganda machine and tactics to defeat Obama next election year and it has proved to be a debilitating method that has resulted in serious damage to the country and its citizens, It just shows their callousness and disrespect to organized government working for the people.
exactly what serious damage are you suggesting- this post sounds like talking points- with facts or substance-
The Republicans have always divided Americans on national security. George W. Bush was the great divider. Dick Cheney even said that unless we reelected George W. Bush in 2004 America would be attacked again.
