Even the far-left Editor-in-Chief of the Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington, slammed Obama for making the OBL raid political, saying, ‘...to turn it into a campaign ad is one of the most despicable things you can do.’
To top off Obama’s inaccurate victory lap, according to the CNSNews’s database on Afghanistan war casualties, 69% of war casualties in the country have happened under Obama’s watch since taking office in January 2009.
That’s nearly 1,275 of the total 1,844 deaths since Operation Enduring Freedom started in October 2001.
Ya...that POTUS...since he's the Commander and Chief he should be in the field!! Wearing his ref shirt and blow the whistle when there's a foul. He should personally be calling out the Taliban for unnessary ruffness. My Son was in Iraq and didn't see the POTUS there either.
Impeach the Generals too!! (Can you do that?)
What's your point anyway, mp? And, why would an Editor-in- Chief put "inaccurate victory lap" in the same paragraph with "casuallties"? She needs to go back to journalism school. Got a link?
You know the Huffington Post
Ed Schulz quotes them almost every night
Arriana Huffington She is the editor Look up her comments!!!
And she is an Obama supporter LMAO
Again Under Obama almost 70% of the casualties in the Afghanistan War are under President Obama and do not forget President Obama called Afghan "the Good war"
that we will be there until what? 2022? 2024?
Again that decision is also made by who?
Kathe its just another run of the mill lazy tea bagging republican spewing the usual nonsense hoping if she/he repeats it enough it will be transformed into fact by a magic act from god.
Hi whom! You are correct, but I'm going to post something to it that probably won't get read...oh well. Hey, I found out that it can copy and paste pretty good. <s>
You must not be familiar with Liberals...they don't march in lockstep with each other...including Democrats. The word news should be removed from FOX "News" if they can't report it without gag orders on their staff as it pertains to what they say on TV...might as well live in China if we only had Roger Ayles' version of what's going on. Notice there is no word "News" in MSNBC's name, yet it is more fair and balanced than Der Fuher Murdoch's conservative channel.
Here's the article you plagerized:
http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/conscience-conservative/2012/may/2/navy-seals-hit-obama-making-osama-bin-laden-raid-p/
You must know that Copyright Infringement on Newsvine is against the User Agreement that we all agreed to when we signed on to this blog...correct? And did you read this associated with this article:
You are in violation and I am not. You reprinted on line the author's work. I posted the link and have shown very few points within the article that can be linked back to it's rightful owner. Don't worry though...hardly anyone here takes anything you post seriously if they read it at all. You have no credibility here whatsoever.
If you read the comments, which I enjoy doing, you will find active Navy and Navy Vets saying "Nice job" when talking about what Obama did....it's a personal perspective from others that express their views *legally* that I enjoy. One Navy Vet started his comments with:
Not everyone agrees with a couple of anonymous conservative Navy Seals. The author of this article just threw together a jumble of words just like Der Fuher Murdoch likes it.
Post your source. The moderators don't like it if you don't. Just a friendly warning so you don't get into trouble.
So what's your point again? Just being contrary like the "journalist" in "The Conscience of a Conservative"?
.
All Presidents are damned if they do and damned if they don't. I don't agree with Obama all the time either...so what. It would be nice if the "right" weren't so darn hyper-sensitive. I change my answer to r/tp's for the poll question. <s>
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-tv/arianna-obama-bin-laden-romney-ad_b_1464156.html
Never mind the fact that when the Huffington Post sold 50% to a rightie, they started moving farther to the right. But, hell, why let little facts stand in your way?
MP - Arianna has sold her soul to AOL. She doesn't present an objective case as in the past. Much slanting going on now at the HuffingtonPost, it is detectable.
So, I do not put much stock in Arianna's comments. Just so you know.
It seems to going on everywhere and a smart person would take it as a warning that the media is all going to be FAIR & BALANCED lookout! But if that is the way its going to be I will just believe the complete opposite!
melinda.purcell banned, reregistered multiple of politcalwatcher.
LOGOUT: Its all BUSHES FAULT!
Good-bye.....Farrrr Go..... Get with the program, man....it's Obama's fault...it's Obama's fault...
Did Sarah Palin (as reported by FOX "News") and George W. Bush attend the same elementary school?
George W. Bush after meeting with the leaders of the European Union, Gothenburg, Sweden, June 14, 2001
Well, maybe it is all Bush's fault !!!!
Is that where Obama learned that there were 57 states?
Yup, Storm....Bush didn't know we have 7 Territories. See...it is all Bush's fault. <s>
that is what you get with governmental education programs....no wonder our kids are so far behind the rest of the world.
No that is what you get when for 70 years of GOP trying to kill education because smart voters do not vote GOP only dumb home schooled religious nuts vote GOP. As we have seen with the Fox news trolls here.
Whom...Do some research...the Dummycrats are the ones who have controlled both the House and the Senate the majority of the time over the last 70 years.
Once again...that is a fact...like it or not...you guys are the reason that we are in the situation we are in.
Except they didn't it is just another GOP lie.
and exactly what lie is that? That the Dummycrats did not control the House and the Senate for the majority of the time over the last 70 years? Or that your party's boneheaded leadership got us into the condition we are in?
They are both accurate FACTS.
who's dividing this Country? Right and left wing Media. Both are distorting the picture, both are putting their " Spin " on Political events. You have your diehard Righties and your diehard Lefties who both think their version of how this Country should be run is Gospel. That is what is hurting us. Some will edit video to make events wore then they are, some will fire workers and not apologize to their viewers..some have no Journalistic soul left in them. That works for so many Cable "news" stations including MSNBC and Fox. i know this will make some here run for their lisinopril but truth hurts.
Right then we get the usual both sides are equally guilty because I say so post from what appears to be a libertarian nut job.
Whomitmay, Libertarians are Bush's fault.
India libertarians were actually a result of Nixon being to liberal for the hard core righties.
Nixon was bush's fault.
There ya go

Am I that bad moon you see rising? LOL
I may keep it; I love the moon. It really is pretty up there all big and round and bright.
Or I may get over being mad at the cat..
Bill...
Great Comments. Very true.
Whoever listens to anything the right says anyway! All I can hear when I try to listen to them is: "Blah Blah Blah I'm owened by Grover Nerdquist and the Koch brothers!"
The American public is not stupid and is just tuning them out until November when we'll vote them out!
Yeah right you are Bill Morin there ARE diehard righties and lefties. Except you missed a few facts along the way! The die hardlefties (like Obama) want to fix this country, to put people back to work, and renforce things like medicaid, medicare, SS, and the middle class not destroy them. The diehard rifghties think doing away with all that and Planed Parenthood to boot (which medically covers low income women) is the answer!
The diehard lefties have had enough of war and see no reason for more wars in Iran or Syria let alone the social wars here on Women, Gays, and Voters the righties are waging!
The diehard righties campained on "Jobs, Jobs, Jobs" to get into office but to date have not passed ONE jobs bill but 30 abortion bills!
And the sad truth is that is only a partial list of the Facts representing how misguided, hurtful to the american public, corrupt, and self serving the righties are!! So next time you want to compare the righties and the lefties at least include the facts, not just your version of the Gospel!
Re, I agree with you, except that I would not call Obama a leftist. He is a centrist Democrat, leaning to the right, like Bill Clinton was. Hillary, now, IS a leftist. If you check Obama's record, you can see this quite clearly. On a number of issues, he even kept some of Bush's policies in place, which grieved the leftist base. (and me) A LOT! But all in all, he's a wonderful president and I support him 100%!
OBAMA 2012!
Working pretty rigidly off the script today. Liberals are pretty self serving. regardless of the deficit...Liberals still have their hand out for what they should br providing for themselves. ANY SHAME at all For looking to the Government for a free ride? Government owes you NOTHING. Time to start giving back...
Sorry but again we see the delusional tea bagging republican repeating the insane rantings of a demented doddering old fool who couldn't tell reality from the delusions his dementia were causing. You pay taxes why should the wealthy be the only ones who get government handouts. But then that is your problem you listen to dumb or insane people who rant and rave yet have no answers except the ones that caused the economic mess we are in. Time to start giving back good lord what a nutty thing to say, when the government takes 22% of the working mans pay while the top 400 families of the 1% pay 16%, really give more, how much more are we to give to the wealthy. Delusional.
so exactly what caused the the "economioc mess we are in"?
ST - republican polices starting with Reagan and then on down the line with Norquist all mixed up in there.
Actually it started with Nixon and his southern strategy that divided the country into racists war mongers against liberal anti war pacifists. A lot of the trouble started when the GOP sent infiltrators into the anti war movement to agitate friction between protestors and police. Which gave Nixon the excuse he needed to come down hard on protestors as well as make them look bad to the public fence sitters. Reagan continued the divide by creating the welfare queen myth to turn the working class against the poor as well as lying to them about their tax dollars being theirs and up to them on what tax dollars were used on instead of seeing tax dollars as dues one paid for government services they received. Conservatives forgot they were for welfare programs because welfare freed them from having to take care of elderly, disabled, out of work relatives as well as being cheaper to give them a income so they weren't sitting in state hospitals which was expensive to the state. Then there was GWB and his you are either with GWB or you were with the terrorists nonsense. And as we have seen with our rabid righty trolls over the last 11 months that GOP mentality still persists with them, but worse is instead of ignoring them we fight back which hurts their little feelings because it goes against their belief that liberals won't fight back.
Outsourcing 100 years of American infrastructure to China and India, mostly.
Only because Liberals prefer squirrels over jobs. You would have to be an idiot not to see where Business goes. It goes where cheap energy is abundant and Government interference is scarce.Wonder if Liberals can ever face the truth long enough to acknowledge this obvious fact?
No because liberals do not like the deformed babies being born due to the toxic landscapes that the anti EPA GOP want created.
Yeah, #114.7, No more George Bushes or Grover Norquists or Rick Perrys or Mitt Romneys. Keep the EPA. Look what our toxic environment has done so far! Oh, and look at that deformed Karl Rove! What more proof do you need?
OK, for you diehards, Dick Cheney.
Try again. The "Great society" got the ball rolling on MOST of today's social ills.(Single parent homes,drop out rate as well as incarceration rate). The social net is above 60% of the budget now...and growing astronomically under this food stamp President /Jimmuh Carter clone. And for hairbrained Liberals to gloss over that speaks either to low I.Q. or basic intellectual dishonesty.And how dare say a politician that the Government has enough of our income and it's time to CUT these Social cradle to grave programs....Time for the Government freebies to go by the wayside.
Funny how all of that worked for 250 years until George Bush and the Republicans decided to change the American economy, and then it all fell apart.
Explain the change. I have numbers by the decades after the invention of Welfare to back me up.
At the most basic level, contrary to the myth, growth has actually been very weak under President Bush. Here is the ranking of growth by presidential administrations since 1960:
President Bush only manages to beat out his father, and even this distinction may not hold when the final numbers are in. These data only run through the third quarter of 2007. If we fall into a recession and Bush ends his term with five quarters of near-zero growth, then Bush II could even fall behind Bush I in the growth category.
http://prospect.org/article/bush-blame-economy
Try using what might be seen as a reputable source for these numbers...why go to joe blow and his brother Ernies Liberal blog when the government numbers are available? you devalue you your argument when using skewered data.
2008 Dow Jones Performance: Third Worst on Record
January 2, 2009 by: David I. Templeton | about: DIA
One good thing about 2008 is the year has come to an end. It is unlikely the market's performance in 2009 will generate the same outcome as 2008, but not a certainty.
The -33.8% return in the Dow Jones Industrial Average for 2008 is the third worst on record. As noted by Chart of the Day:
Chart won't post.

When you see facts you don't like, you attack the source.
It's a typical right-wing tactic, and frankly very boring.
By Richard Wolf, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — Government anti-poverty programs that have grown to meet the needs of recession victims now serve a record one in six Americans and are continuing to expand.
More than 50 million Americans are on Medicaid, the federal-state program aimed principally at the poor, a survey of state data by USA TODAY shows. That's up at least 17% since the recession began in December 2007.
POLITICS: Welfare agencies boost voter rolls
"Virtually every Medicaid director in the country would say that their current enrollment is the highest on record," says Vernon Smith of Health Management Associates, which surveys states for Kaiser Family Foundation.
The program has grown even before the new health care law adds about 16 million people, beginning in 2014. That has strained doctors. "Private physicians are already indicating that they're at their limit," says Dan Hawkins of the National Association of Community Health Centers.
More than 40 million people get food stamps, an increase of nearly 50% during the economic downturn, according to government data through May. The program has grown steadily for three years.
Caseloads have risen as more people become eligible. The economic stimulus law signed by President Obama last year also boosted benefits.
"This program has proven to be incredibly responsive and effective," says Ellin Vollinger of the Food Research and Action Center.
Close to 10 million receive unemployment insurance, nearly four times the number from 2007. Benefits have been extended by Congress eight times beyond the basic 26-week program, enabling the long-term unemployed to get up to 99 weeks of benefits. Caseloads peaked at nearly 12 million in January — "the highest numbers on record," says Christine Riordan of the National Employment Law Project, which advocates for low-wage workers.
More than 4.4 million people are on welfare, an 18% increase during the recession. The program has grown slower than others, causing Brookings Institution expert Ron Haskins to question its effectiveness in the recession.
As caseloads for all the programs have soared, so have costs. The federal price tag for Medicaid has jumped 36% in two years, to $273 billion. Jobless benefits have soared from $43 billion to $160 billion. The food stamps program has risen 80%, to $70 billion. Welfare is up 24%, to $22 billion. Taken together, they cost more than Medicare.
INFOMOTION GRAPHIC: A historical look at the national debt
INTERACTIVE GRAPHIC: Getting a grip on government debt
The steady climb in safety-net program caseloads and costs has come as a result of two factors: The recession has boosted the number who qualify under existing rules. And the White House, Congress and states have expanded eligibility and benefits.
Conservatives fear expanded safety-net programs won't contract after the economy recovers. "They're much harder to unwind in the long term," says Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank.
Other anti-poverty experts say the record caseloads are a necessary response to economic hardship. "We should be there to support people when the economy can't," says LaDonna Pavetti of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal-leaning think tank.
. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 22.7 million jobs were added between January 1993 and January 2001. (See total nonfarm, seasonally adjusted — the standard measure of jobs.)
BLS data show there was a net increase of nearly 1.1 million jobs from January 2001 to January 2009.
http://www.factcheck.org/2011/08/reid-wrong-on-bushs-economic-record/
22.7 is a bigger number than 1.1.
And this is not even current. Liberals want freebies...and are getting them in record numbers under this welfare maven. I can post crap that shows what is basic common sense and you can continue to lie. How about you just admit the Liberal social agenda is a losing dog and we just move away from it while America is still semi-solvent.
And of course you missed the record stock market highs under the Bush admin. until Fannie/Freddie exploded and put us where we are today.
I liked this part of your article:
Guess who was president then?
And I guess you missed this part of my article:
Guess who was still president then?
And the crash was primarily a result of Fannie/Freddie and Liberal policy as well.
As bad as his failure in Vietnam proved to be, the results of his Great Society Programs were far more insidious, deadly and injurious to our Nation's psyche. The mammoth social welfare entitlement programs that streamed out of Washington did more damage to the fabric of our society than any number of Vietnams could have done. The irony is, that the segment of our society that it meant to help, was the one that was most grievously harmed. Of all those who fell victim to the welfare mentality, none suffered more than the black communities.
In the fifties, although blacks were still struggling for equal oppertunities and were on the low end of the economic ladder, the black family was for the most part strong and stable. Two parent families were the rule, not the exception. They attended church together, had strong moral values, and did not comprise a majority of the prison population. Compare that to the present state of the black community after 40 years of Liberal Socialism. Our prisons are disproportionably black, unwed mothers and single parent families are the rule, black youths without a strong male role model other than rap stars and basketball players, roam the streets and are drawn into a culture of drugs and crime.
The following statistics are provided by Star Parker's Coalition of Urban Renewal, (CURE).
*60 percent of black children grow up in fatherless homes.
*800,000 black men are in jail or prison.
*70 percent of black babies are born to unwed mothers.
*Over 300,000 black babies are aborted annually.
*50 percent of new AIDS cases are in the black community.
*Almost half of young black men in America's cities are neither working nor in school. What we have here is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.
What was the message of the social programs that came out of LBJ's Great Society? One of the most devestating to the family was that if an unwed woman became pregnant, moved out of the home of her parents, did not name or know who the father was, then Big Daddy in Washington would provide for all her essential needs. Ergo she no longer needed a husband or the support of her family. In fact, the more children she had out of wedlock, the more money she would receive from the government. This program was the death knell for many families, especially in the black community. Unfortunately many black men saw this as the best of all possible worlds. They could father as many children as they wanted, from multiple women, without ever having to accept the responsibility of fatherhood. Many women rejected marriage in favor of a boyfriend who could slip in the back door and not jeopardize her government check. In this dysfunctional culture why would education be important? Why seek an education only to have to compete for a good job in the market place when they could just hang around the neighborhood and have all of life's amenities? In fact studying and getting good grades, for many blacks, became a social stigma. They were called "Uncle Toms" and accused of trying to act "white". Many blacks who had the potential to succeed gave in to this pressure and opted for failure. After all they had the perfect excuse. Did not the NAACP and race hustlers like Jesse Jackson tell them that it was not their fault? That they were just innocent "victims" of white racism?
This is the legacy of LBJ's Great Society.....compassion as defined by Liberalism.
Wrong again as usual.
Defend your lifestyle till your lips turn blue. The numbers and facts do not support your wild assertions.
Here is a clue numbers can be manipulated to show anything the person using the numbers want them to show. Then there is reality of looking at where we were before the GOP started fixing problems that weren't needing fixed. 43 years of republican policies brought the country back to being on the verge of another great depression. It was GOP policies that created the unemployment, inflation and deficits. Looking for the GOP to change that disaster using the very same policies that created the problem will not fix anything. Reagan and both Bush's claimed tax cuts would create jobs all three saw private sector jobs reduce and government jobs increase. Those are facts and no matter how many manipulated numbers you toss out nothing will change the fact that it was GOP economic failures that got us here.
Whomitmay, Why do you waste your breath on this brick wall of hate? Honey, he AIN'T listening. That's not why he's here! He is here to spout lies and tick us all off. I ignore him now. I have no time for that. I could see his mind was closed weeks ago. Just let him rant, no one cares what he says.
You could argue till doomsday and it wouldn't change Scott's mind.
Because I am a sadist hearing tea bagging troll whine and cry gets me going, LOL.
Well, then, have fun! LOL I think Scott is Bush's fault.
scottie is a product of GWB's leave all children behind education system where parents that dropped out of school in the 8th grade home teach there kids.
Jimmy may have attended that same school......briefly at that. I'm guessing, of course.
LOL think mika got snotty and then became scotty.
Pilotshark,
scott must really be eating his Wheaties - I lost count at about 40 posts today in about 5 hours. We are talking truly remarkable output here. I think we should encourage such professionalism and start giving Scott a running tally each time he posts or perhaps start a lottery. Content approaches zero but as Comrade Stalin used to say "quantity and a quality of its own".
Now melinda and eugenie are just wimping along at mika levels of 10 to 15 day. Scott can do that in one hour. Of course I have not done a side by side study yet comparing posting times - that might be informative.
Scott-3860658
like comrade mika from old days you do not source your "copy paste" posts. is against law is it not comrade to make it look like you think and think and then type all day when all you do is copy paste like silly mika from old country.
here is link so you do not go to jail and others do not by mistake think you are intellectual in need of gentle re-education in camps.

seems like many foxwing posters like this quote but like you none seem to want to give credit. who knows maybe this person stole it like you.
someone should apologize.
DON'T MISS IT TONIGHT:
http://ridgefield.patch.com/articles/saturday-s-super-moon-098659e3
Newt don't miss this one its as close as you are ever gonna get!
Ha, ha, ha .......he will be mooned one way or another.
TM, I broke my toe early this morning chasing the cat out of the bedroom. I am sitting around taking tylenol today. I have an ice pack on my left foot. Bummer.
Husband going to help get me to where I can see the super moon. Won't be walking.
That cat will be the death of me yet.
Poor India! I thought it was cat got-cha by the tongue not TOE! So are you just pussyfooting around! I'm sorry for your catastrophe!
xxooo LOL Anyone want an 8 year old Manx? Ha! Like I'd part with him.
That was a cat-tastrophe! I saw stars. I mean that hurts!
I just saw the moon again, you can see it from our kitchen window. I wasn't able to walk outside except for a few minutes with husband holding me up.
I have a feeling that Newt Gingrich could grow fangs with a moon like this!
This was Bush's fault. I know it...
I think maybe Bush and Cheney teamed up on it. Don't think either could do it alone.
They were a team, alright! They did a lot more over the years than break my toe! That would have been easy! Tanking an economy...now, that takes some doing!
Why would you go on medicaid? Perhaps an aging population?Look at the expanding welfare rolls and expanding disability claims under Hussein Obama....Bush was at the root of Hussein's welfare problem...I suppose?And Hussein's cheap dollar policy has the current stock market value basically meaningless.
You are blinded by ideology and hate. Your facts are just opinions based on attitude.
You are what the Republican party thrives on. An easily led bigot who just wants to blame his problems on somebody else. And they give you a target.
Yep Chris he bought into the whole us against them GOP divide and worse he is one of the them that he hates. He also bought into the Reagan lie that one day he would no longer be a them he would get the magic golden handout to be a GOP us.
Scottie: You should be scared and not mad, hate is not a logical way of thinking. And shows you don't do you thinking for yourself.
Pay attention to the world around you instead of letting Ed and his ilk convince you people cannot be self sufficient.America was found on rugged individualism and independent spirit.Liberalism would leave you to believe you can do nothing without the Government sanctioning and paying for it.Hatred? Of brainwashed molly coddled welfare mavens perhaps.
Then there is the real history of the country that shows you don't know jack about history but instead got your history from Hollywood movies. Here is a clue, people that relied on themselves ended up dead of starvation, native American attacks and wild animals.
Little scottie shows his bigotted hate by the use of President Obamas middle name. Pure hate.
For ANYBODY to be so temperamental abour a name speaks to your intelligence. If you call me an Aardvark...And I have neither a long slender snout nor a diet consisting of ants....<I'm not an Aardvark> grow up leftie.
No an aardvark actually thinks for itself.
Scott, I blame Bush for my broken toe.
BTW, It's President Barack Obama. No one but the extremists and birthers call him Hussein. It sounds so demeaning....Oh, right.....
scottie is a birther, he adores Oily Titz, he has a picture of her in his closet.
Whomitmay, Scott does not even care that Bush broke my toe, so how can you expect him to be reasonable?
I am definitely not going to ask who Oily Titz is, and don't tell me. It's Sunday morning and my foot hurts.
LOL yep I broke a few TV's because of the stupidity that came out every time GWB opened his mouth.
Bush is responsible for so much damage! TV's, toes, you name it.
Scottie you would like pay as you go sidewalks, playgrounds? The signs are all around you look at Wal-Mart has paid members for Sam's Club keeps out the riff-raff but their prices are often higher for the exact same items. Talk about stupid fools who fall for this kind of prejudice. What made this country the greatest in the world was knowledge, Public schools made it possible for our advantage over others and now your good buddies want to take it away. I guess its to have more people like you Scott. And you take the bait hook line and sinker! Again and again!
Can it be true the Government subsidise to Oil companies go to lobbyist to keep green energy on the shelf!
We need to move Obama Forward and not in Reverse Romney! Lets keep Mitt unemployed! I will be dammed if I will give him another house and free travel and the button to nuke any country the warmongers pick as our next enemy!
Vote in 2012 LETS ROLL!
This is as big as a failure that resides in the White House as Jimmuh Carter .And "Green energy" technology is not progressed far enough to be practical. If it were...the free market would have already implemented it. So you can have your fairy tale.
What are those big windmill things??? ALL OVER THE WORLD!!! Hydroelectric power seems pretty successful too!
DO your own homework or just open your ears & eyes if you have them?
What ever happened to the old GOP at least they had some common sense, now its just LIE LIE LIE and than LIE about the LIES! Why? Scottie WHY? THINK SCOTTIE THINK!!!
WHY ALL THE BIG CORPORATE PAC MONEY! WHY SCOTTIE WHY?
Why will the health insurance companies be soon closing up shop? WHY SCOTTIE WHY?
I'm not putting one thin dime into this ponzie scheme, I will just save mine until I need it and if its not enough just have a fund raiser via Facebook.
SCOTTIE WHY did the GOP (KOCH Bros.) pick Mitt as there monkey? If I was a REAL republican I would have been mad as hell to have this GUMBY as my party choice! WHY SCOTTIE WHY?
WHAT"S the matter KOCH bought your tongue? Scottie? Earth to Scottie?
Let me rephrase that FLAT EARTH to SCOTTIE?
Scottie is researching another history lesson on TV, there is a John Wayne movie on.
xxx
Damn you're asking a lot out of little scottie. You actually want him to thing? Be reasonable. He's a hateful rightie. I don't know if they have that capeability.
See you guys later....Stuff....
Same stuff nap time didn't sleep well neighbors were partying and gosh darn it I didn't call the cops to ruin their fun, gee must not be a republican bone in my body, the horrors minding your own business and not killing everyones fun.
For WHOM the bed calls! I only call when I hear a call for help or fire or gun shots! Or maybe if someone's left their dog tied up and not home for a couple of days..
LOL you finally figured out why I choose Whomitmay, a play on the novel For Whom the Bell Tolls.
How nonchalant.
Just read an article about Romney saying he meets with 'regular people' to talk with them about their struggles..... but he will not tell who or when - that it is a secret!
I do not like this at all. Is this how a Mormon will conduct himself in the WhiteHouse? That is worse than Bush, and it is a very troubling. The Mormons have so many secrets, I hate it. I want out front and center, full disclosure in conducting business. None of this secret crap when doing regular activities. It is one thing for National Security and quite another for everyday business.
Complaining About Romney Being Secretive Is Assaulting His Religion Now, Apparently

It's only going to get uglier from here. Hidden in Mike Allen's morning Politico report is an interesting little observation. The Obama campaign has lately been accusing Mitt Romney of being secretive. Republicans are taking these comments on secrecy as attacks on Romney's Mormonism:
So many responses here that I don't know where to start. First of all: Mormonism is secretive. Ann Romney's non-Mormon family wasn't allowed in the temple to watch her get married to Mitt Romney. The church secretly baptized Holocaust victims for years before the truth came out. And the undergarments are a totally real thing, too.

obama isnt dividing this country, since he took office we are all coming together, there is no protesters, there or no rich or poor war fair being slung,
hes going to get 100% of the vote
Trying out a new approach?
you cant disagree with what i just typed. so its the approach needed
since obama took office the republican party has been or at least silent about impuning his parentage, citizenship, and religion. Remember who started liking Donald Trump a lot more as he began his birther charade "investigation", clearly after three years questioning whether the president is a citizen or not is not to be viewed without suspicion
the GOP has attacked gays, muslims who they've an enemy of freedom I can't remember the last time congress targeted members of any religion for investigation as Peter King did. They've kicked the middle class and the poor on the payroll tax issue which to paraphrase Paul Ryan did not believe produced the job growth they wanted and thus should not have been continued. If the tea party had its way it would not have been. They however have been willing to entertain raising taxes on the small number of people that are the rich in america. Some would call that divisive.
They've pushed away minorities away continually both in the phony voter fraud you must show things you never before had to show to vote laws
They can thank their old buddy Newt for bringing contraception right back into politics as an attack against all religion everywhere.....christianity only of course which is a divisive branding tactic in it's own right
so clearly the right has been trying to unite the country unless you're gay, muslim, minority, female, middle class, not christian...............but of course many righties live in norman rockwell's america which is a parrallel reality where everyone gets along and the right wing is civil and agreeable
Just hoping for your sake, that you had cleared your brain fog and were thinking for yourself. Is that what happened?
name somethngs obama did for the middle class
what about the report that the dems in congrees are spending millions on the car leases, great way to help th emiddle class. in obamas term how many times did he cut the middle class taxes. i am in the middle class and after he pass the health care bill my health incerance went up 300 a month thanks, trillions in spending and the economy is getting worse some one please explain that to me
Q:Who wanted the payroll tax cut extension and who didn't?
A:The republicans didn't want it
Q:Who wants to raise taxes on the middle class
A:the GOP look at the ryan plan
Q:Who wants cuts to social security and medicare
A:look in the ryan plan
Q:who benefits most in the ryan plan
A:not the middle class
Q:who hasn't raised taxes as the republicans claim
A:obama
Q:How can obama raise taxes while the bush tax cuts which he signed are in effect
A:he can't
Q:Who wanted to raise middle class taxes if the rich didn't get the bush tax cut extension too crashing the economy
A: the republicans
Fact is the president and the dems have done the only standing for those not rich in DC, the GOP has made clear the wealthy are their priority. Obama hasn't raised middle class tax cuts so your insinuation that he hasn't lowered them doesn't take into account that he can't change federal income taxes right now.
Q:How is the economy getting worse? Jobs are added every month and consumer confidence is rising one could argue it isn't getting better fast enough but you most certainly can in no way argue it is getting worse unless one doesn't know the definintion of worse. Not good enough has never meant nor will ever mean worse.
On spending unless there is zero government there will be spending don't like that move to somalia. They have no government.
Jimmy, This may come as a surpeise and you may not be able to handle it, but all elected officials have that same benifit. They have a "budget" just for leases. It isn't just the Democrats. And most of what you have posted so far can be discredited.
Now you're seeing the light, Cynical !! Good on you!
Who's fault is it that the Country is divided?? Well, of course....it's Obama's fault.
the pay roll tax equals to 12 dollars a month you thing its worth it,
social sec is being used by millions not putting in to it and is millions in debt, but lets keep that going,
how is the ecomomy getting worse are you kidding, 325000 people every month are stopping to look for work, last month only 125000 jobs were made, do the math and obama spent 5 trillion in 3 yrs there should be 0 unemployment with those numbers, the unemployment rate is going down becouse people are giving up looking for a job.
people dont mind paying taxes for military and fire and cops and schools, but th eline gets drawn at million crossing the boarder for health care, 49 million on food stamps, and , and trillions on wastful spending, the gov does like trips and cars on the tax payers dime
if obama can blame bush for every thing than why didnt he give him created for the things he did to kill osama bin l. all obama had to do was say go in,
Oooops...my response in the above post was to Cynical's #119.9.
Jimmy how do you know that Obama didn't have him taken alive and Obama plugged him. But now in the right wing rags Osama not even dead because there's no pictures the ghouls.
xxx, ever feel like you're talking to a blank wall. I will admit, jimmy is the most blank that's been here for a while. We've heard empty heads before but he seems emptier than most. And notice he pays no attention to the facts or links posted. Wonder if he's on Fox Lies payroll. Can't be if his payrole tax is only $12.00/mo. I wish I could pay that little.
So then you jimmy support raising a tax that effects wage earners, middle class individuals, something you claim obama is for. Seems that this what you want thus you should be happy as you allege that's what obama is doing.
Social security is doing fine. Medicare is the only one heading for real future trouble. So glad to see you support getting rid of them. That won't affect the middle class at all.
You clearly can't deny the economy is not improving and by the way what the federal goevernment spends has never been been a measure how many are or are not employed. Unless you want to expand public sector jobs which you likely despise. The debt and the economy are entirely and the GOP has no plan to adequately help either.
The executive spends no money only the congress they need to be held accountable for their actions or lack there of many such as yourself since around 2000 seem to believe that this is not to be done. Read the constitution learn who controls the money it was not Obama or Bush. Except for the illegal expansions of executive power but that's a different story.
Once again I will state that there is no government if there is no spending. People don't mind paying for essential services which is odd that the GOP moves in and seems to want to fire police, teachers etc. why do they do that?
Bush doesn't get much credit for getting Osama or the "war on terror" because they didn't much done. Bush closed the Bin Laden unit in 2006 and none of the information we have suggests that the way he was found was a long standing operation. You wanna know how we really found him, a collaborating doctor in pakistan who now is to my knowledge still imprisoned for treason. That's really who deserves a lot of the credit and gets none.
Larry on blank walls you should have seen a guy known as Albert Jones. The person used to copy other people's work as his/her(?) own and had a strange obsession with bold print. It was like talking to spam bot.
CC of course he doesn't mind that his wages will be taxed more that means his golden handout will happen sooner and he will need those tax cuts that the wealthy are getting. Why does he believe this? Because an insane doddering old fool suffering from delusions told him hard work will make him wealthy and paying for the tax cuts for the wealthy would trickle down great fortune on him. If you really research how Reagan played these low educated people who vote against their own best interests you will see how Reagan used the Pat Robertson model for milking the religious out of their hard earned dollars. Robertson tied their own greed to their faith by telling the simple minded that god would shower wealth on them for giving their money to him as a reward for their faith.
You may not know it but the Dems just with this policy fixed my financial troubles. the money i was putting into my bank account was going out faster than i was putting it in because i was overspending. So watching my dem leaders they showed me how to fix my problem. Dumb me i thought the answer was for me to spend less. Now i know what to do put LESS money in my account. Yeah that's the ticket.
TC, Paul Krugman has the right idea about how to fix the economy. In the UK, David Cameron has been using Romney's and the conservative's ideas and it is tanking the economy. Same with Greece, Spain, Italy, France, and Portugal. Conservative's "austerity" solution is making things way worse throughout the UK and Europe. I pray for France that Sarkozy is voted out!
Obama's Keynesian ideas have helped get us out of the pit that Bush's policies caused. 8 million jobs were lost by 2009 when Obama was elected. He's had steady, sure growth for 26 months now in spite of NO HELP from the 87 T-party freshman idiots in congress (Who are there, not to help legislate good for the country, but to ruin Obama). Krugman is a Keynesian, and I really like his ideas of how to end this mess in two years. I hope you will check it out. (I am not hopeful, though).
Of course, if your boy gets in, he won't ever end it, but worsen it.
Do you have a song for me or are you mad now?
Well, well, well...ask and ye shall receive:

AND I spelled Sarkozy's name right!
India I would take tc's brag about his wealth with a grain of salt, people like tc exaggerate their self worth. A small time investor like tc doesn't get the insider tips that the wealthy investors get nor is he all that smart to escape the stock market crash of 08. That he is a firm believer in trickle down nonsense he has made clear a few million times. He is just not as obnoxious as the rest of the tea bagging republicans. He don't like me because I am up on his text book examples of economics.
I'm a follower of John Maynard Keynes, and Paul Krugman is currently my favourite economist. He and I agree totally. I can't wait to read his latest book.

You go, xxooo.....
did you read ALL of the countries blurbs. People in Europe are dependent on the Gov of course they resent being told they have to tighten up some of the countries understand others want still more on the dole. Germany put it's foot down Greece is actually in default. Germany laid down the law to them and it is coming elsewhere. The main difference between us and some in Europe is we can print money since europe is a coalition countries can't print money. They must borrow it from others Germany is about out of the debt buying biz. Read all the sub articles to your post particularly Finland

So I guess all the Supply side elements in his stimulus and jobs bills did not work????? Why did he use them? 100% write off for new equipment:tax credit for hiring<tax credit for training< accelerated depreciation,tax credit for buying fleet cars/ want more?
No. Read Paul Krugman's book. And go look at the moon. It's inspiring.
I am moonstruck.
Krugman is a politician with an economics degree. He is interested in using the economy to provide SOCIAL goals not to maximize returns. Nothing wrong with that if he would advertize his intention but he and Robert Reich have political and social goals not economic ones.Spending money is one thing but it is also important what you spend it on. He wants to use the power of government spending not to stimulate but to move in a social orientation that he favors. an economy is the action of supply and demand allocating resources at a price level. Sorry but i prefer to trust the general public to spend their own money on what they desire not what left wing politicians desire. When you make a purchase you are voting with YOUR dollars for items that you prefer when a politician spends your dollar it is on what they prefer.
TC, yes, yes, but what about the moon!?
You won't change my mind, TC. I believe I m right.
How about a song? So we can remain friends?

Isn't it funny the right wants to talk about complaining yet these guys trip and fall "it's all obama's fault why isn't he there to help me up failed leadership"
they sneeze "where's obama with my tissue so lazy, no leadership"
point is all they've done for the last few years is complain about the consequences of the things they wanted to make happen until a democrat got elected
yeah hannitites how about stop pretending the system works and then coming on the next day and pretending it doesn't. How about believing in science instead of just denying it because you want to......how about talking money from the average man to give it to the rich man in the reverse robin hood reaganomics game. How about admitting Reagan was great at the time but has given us a lot of crap to clean up now from economic vacuum up economics, iran/contra, al qaeda, growing the drug war..........
I thought when a person was elected they were adult enough to think. The President gives the his aganda. What more "leadership" do they need? They either pass it or, God Forbid, come up with something on their own that will pass. Why does the President have to hold their hands every inch of the way?
Larry as we all know congress is supposed to be sunshine daisy happy fun time.......so naturally they need someone to hold their hand
but yeah you're right it isn't the president's job to get the congress or most any folks to suddenly do the job that they should be doing already
now I will say it isn't really in my opinion the job of the president to have an agenda to lay on domestic policy that is congress' responsibilty that's why there's over 400 of them

EPA Official gets death threats and resigns!
No way the right never uses intimdation to get what it wants
The obama administration needs to stop acting like the romney campaign with phony you can be civil with foaming at the mouth teavangelicals act. I expect this level of cowardice from the Mitt Romney campaign. Stand up and fight back.
Guess the far right now believes not only do they not have to be accountable to science but that now they can break the law if they don't want to believe in it. Companies that break the law should be prosecuted, who knew that was a controversial statement? Apparently now it is.
These guys are going to turn america into somalia if they get too much power. It's got everything they want! Everyone has a gun, religious leaning government that it what little government that exists, no taxes......kidding of course most of them don't really want that but sometimes they make me wonder
religious has alway been apart of government.
CC: Their narrow minds can't handle the truth. But I do believe the Koch Bros. and other big world wide companies would like to end the US government as we know it for many reasons oil wants to rape the land and sea financial firms want to end the US currency world wide. And the whole time the ignorant naive fools take the bait and run with it like its some kind of a prize and think they are doing good! WOW! Something I have been thinking about is just how they take away all the guns! They won't of course right away first get the nut jobs in a tither over minorities and get a bloody race war started its in the works right now. Throw all those people away blame the liberals kill some more throw those people away ect....I must say even if we can't make them come to their senses we must get the next few elections or say hello the the new Dark Ages and welcome to the 4th Reich!
Jimmy: This may be a stretch for you but when the Constitution was written is was so we where to evolve past pagan beliefs and leave religion out of government! So have you heard about the War for Independence from the King and church of England? So that's why. GOT IT!
Pagan? I don't know what you quite mean be that pagan is really a term relating to nature/fertility worship but yes you are the correct the constititution was authored on the enlightenment principles that nobility have innate divine right to rule and the church doesn't either just because it says it does.
There is zero wrong with people being religious or religious people being involved with government Jim. This is about people wanting to create an establishment respecting only one religion Jim. A seperation between church and government helps insure we can continue to freely choose our own faith, when state decides one belief shall rule all other always suffer. There is not one single example to show otherwise. It is our nature as humans for better or for worse.
CC it is nice to see that you are starting to realize that there is no use trying to inform the righties when they refuse to be informed. I did that for awhile when I first started on the vine only to find that if you finally did get them to admit they were wrong in one topic the next topic you would see them posting the same nonsense they admitted they were wrong on. So anymore all I do is play their game back at them and as you can tell it gets under their skin.
I guess I wasn't real clear on that CC So I will try...Religions have basically come from Pagan beliefs (Birds Bears Sun Stars ect..) and were the first sets of rules, guidelines to follow and from those beginnings we have governments formed around from them and having all power at one time was A King Queen ect. And Church that made up the rules and very often unfair to the common people. So this is why we had a Revolutionary war so we would not have a church or King as our masters. But you knew that didn't you. So on from the stone age we have always had some form of belief and control based on a government and religion. Logic may remove both to some degree. But not altogether to be sure.
Thankful Mom, Just watched the videos - Thanks! I have heard and read a small amount of info on Mormonism, but WOW! Do these people seriously believe this? In my opinion, to qualify my statement, the Mormon beliefs are a perverted distortion of Christianity.
Joseph Smith sounds like scam artist of mega proportions. Definitely a cult. These people practice self-control to the max, which helps explain their success, but even when you have wordily possessions, it is the Lord that causes us to ENJOY our successes. Having and enjoying are two different things.
I'd rather have a holy roller Church of God preacher than a Mormon follower as a President.
I know some of you as liberals choose not to believe in God, that is your choice. I, as a democrat and liberal, do believe in God. The righties make the serious mistake of lumping all liberals as non-believers, quite presumptuously arrogant of them.
I do NOT believe like that!!!I know that Radical Righties are in fact Muslims because that they swear to kill all the infidels! But on a more serious note the Koch Party has hand picked Mitt because he won't give a rip what kind of religious prejudice happens to all other religions as it is the Mormon way to convert! Do you think they even take one moment to take this into consideration? Mitt will not even answer a question about having a other than white straight marriage. Do you they know what Mitt is indeed other than a self proclaimed businessman. I think not all they care is that he hates like they are told to do. All I can say if the GOP and Mitt has the rule I must think its time to start looking for the return of Jesus and its the end of times.
Have a nice evening!
would you accept a polytheist believer such as a Hindu as a Prez? What about a Muslim who would have you covered from head to toe?Or what about a jew? Or just one form of Christian OK?
I guess Jesus is a write-in AGAIN! Do you think he would accept the job?
How about we just leave peoples religious beliefs out of politics and stop pretending that ones religion is more then just another example of mythology, you know the way the founding fathers wanted it done which worked rather well until Ronnie I'm an insane fool Reagan decided to woe the religious nuts that Pat Robertson brought his way.
DemE
jusT curious I get that about your idea for Prez but what about other high offices like for example Speaker of the House or head of the Senate? Same deal?
Are you referring to Harry Reid TC?
What Is Harry Reid's Religion? Mormon.
http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/09/28/what-is-harry-reids-religion/
I believe some people are inclined to use ouija boards to get through their day.
Seems as if Harry isn't as scary as Mitt and all his money buddies and unquenchable thirst for more at expense of the common folk. One guy used a fortune teller to make big decisions hum who was that fruit then vegetable man?
Hey TC....would the ECC vote for Romney if they *knew* he was a polytheist believer?
In his religion, Yahweh God is not an Eternal Being, but the son of Eloheim (who is not even the first god) and one of his cestrial wives? As a Mormon, he believes Jesus and Satan are brothers (did you know that Satan is part of a temple wedding ceremony?). Romney believes that he will be another celestial god and Ann will be a celestial wife of many. They believe there are billions of gods in billions of Universes (well they at least have that correct, IMO)...more than all the World's religions combined! The Christian Bible *had to be perfected (!)* by 3 fraudulent books written by Joseph Smith and revised numerous times.
There's are all non-starters for ECC's. Why doesn't Romney tell the Truth about Mormonism to the r/tp's? He knows they would not vote for him for lying about being a *Biblical* Christian. He follows a religion created by an audulterer, a liar, a murderer and *fraud*.
Why is the most important powerful person in the Senate whose name is Harry Reid who is a Mormon and is an actual leader of your party and has current authority not being undermined by you? He is very strong in his beliefs keeps a copy of the book of Mormon on his desk and another copy to give to people he tries to convert in his Senate office. By the way hes has never had a non government job but has amassed a fortune of over $6 million dollars during his tenure in office. Poor parents so he did not inherit. How did he get rich? I am am interested in what a candidates POLITICAL philosophy is i don't care if they worship a Hershey bar. Would you be against Gandhi ? He believed in a woman god with 6 arms (Hindu)
Hey xxx....Harry Reid is a Democrat and not from Utah...correct? <s>
I don't think Evangelical Christian Conservatives would vote for a guy who believes that God was once a mortal and "passed the test".
The elected harry reid Senate majority leader by a vote of all the Democrats in the Senate most of whom are Christian and maybe a couple of Jews. Why are you not railing aginst the most powerful man in the Senate who believes the same as Mitt Romney???? We both know the answer don't we. Be honest. Don't we???? He is the senior senator fro Nevada hardly a Mormon state. And to top it off he CONVERTED he was not born a Mormon. Here is a quote by him
I think mormonism is a silly religion. Personally I think that it is a poorly veiled charade. Having said that I don't care whether a candidate is mormon or not. Realistically it would perhaps subconsciously influence my vote but in a minor way, whether a candidate is mormon or not would never be the deciding issue for me.
I think it is clear that this is not the case for many on the right. Mitt knows that and so that is likely why he never brings up his faith as most if not every other GOP candidate does. It is possible he believes it should not be a political factor I can accept that but knowing Romney I think he is also at least partially thinking about his electoral chances in not bringing it up. Mitt's actions always relate to trying to tell people or in this case not tell them what they wish to hear.
CC
I specifically woulnot not vote for Herman Cain. Bachman, Santorum on the basis of religion alone. I want a pragmatist in that office like harry truman who did what he thought was right not what some preacher said. I know a few Mormon and they like the jews I know are pragmatists first. thats what i want.
Mitt has hidden behind his religion, Going to France to avoid the draft and laughing about how many he didn't convert and lived in the huge mansion. For free! Tough guy!
Yes, I do, TC, my friend. I am being honest and not "railing" against anyone's religion....or if they don't have one.
If Evangelical Christian Conservatives knew what Mormons believe, they would not "hold their noses" and vote for a Mormon. Romney knows his less wealthy base, I think, and is not willing to share basic Mormon ideology. They are not as pragmatic as you and me.
If Romney didn't have the support of PAC money and people in high places to manipulate the election process, I honestly believe that we would be seeing Santorum as the GOP nominee. Scary, huh?
In the general election, would most ECC's vote for a Christian or for a person who's religion is based on non-Biblical ideology? Now who's really railing against what?
Here is the hole in your theory Kathe. Obama is a admitted christian. Do you really think they will vote for him over Romney?
That's what virtually everyone who isn't a teavangelical conservative wants. It's what the far right sadly doesn't want. Now I don't want to try and correct you on what you think, I don't but I think that perhaps you don't oppose them on religion alone. It's the policies based on religion who oppose right? So then that a policy issue not so much a religion one in a manner of speaking right? When I think of not voting for someone solely on religion I'm at least more talking about not voting for them because of the religion they are like if someone refuses to vote for a hindu.
Well actually if I might bud in it's not that simple because remember that they believe he is a muslim or a secularist(some religion that only exists in their personal imagination land). Many of them believe he is the anti-christ. So there's that.
So actually they believe Romney is more christian than Obama and thus no one with any amount of evidence can teach them otherwise.
It depends on which policies. I don't care what the source just the policy. I could care less who is promoting it. If it makes economic sense and not to promote anybodies social ideas I'm OK witih it.
regarding Christian leaving Romney due to religion my experience in the end people vote their wallet or their safety or a combination of both.
I am sitting in my room... by myself... clapping.. cheering.. applauding... yelling 4 more years... as I watch Obama's speech in Ohio.
You know his speeches have substance.... has promise and hope..............Romney, all he has is condemnation and accusation and saying what a failure the past 4 years have been... but says nothing how to get America back on its feet......except more tax cuts.... oh yes and let's not forget this one....."Let Detroit Go Bankrupt". Obama has the slogan , "FORWARD"...... Romney's should be "BANKRUPTCY"..
Hi Tom: Monetarily or Morally????
Tom, That was a GREAT speech! My husband and I were cheering! He is something, isn't he. We're going forward while the GOP wants to take us back to the early 1900's! Thanks, but NO thanks!
Did I tell you I broke my toe today? It was Bush's fault. LOL
Did you see the super moon over there in China?
Tom, I am mad at the cat so he is off my avatar for a while. He tried to wake us at 5:30 AM, and I got up, half asleep, to chase him out, and hit the edge of the bedroom door and broke my toe. OMG that hurt...saw stars. Can barely walk.
Star, and now the moon!
Hello India and XXX,... I think BOTH... monetarily and morality!
No, I didn't see the moon and didn't know about it.
But that was such a good speech... I mean this guy actually says something... gives us a plan, something to look FORWARD to... I just don't see any hope.... or even a glimmer of hope coming from Romney.
I have heard there is nothing even a doctor can do about a broken toe... unless the bone broke the skin. But I have kicked something and lifted the toe nail off and I thought I would die.. smile
Just the glimmer of GOLD in the Cayman Islands!
Oh... Romney's bank account?
I would like to start a rumour that the Caymans have sunk and send it to FOX news!
Be sure to say something to the effect of raising sea levels are suspected.. smile
The Presidents speech was moving.......forward indeed! He can hold back a laugh though when he said he wanted congress to pass a bill! Getting the congress to pass one of his bills with them is as painful as passing a kidney stone and just as hard!
Tom sea levels OMG that can't happen!
I get the rare treat of having lunch with my wife today, so I will say, talk to you later.... oh, yes it is Sunday here and they go to school on Sunday here....
Later guy...What's the deal are they a bunch of commies over there? <s>
That is another example of GOP hypocrisy that gets my goat, Mittens is a tax evader and the GOP believe that makes him presidential material? Mittens is breaking the law that if you or I did it we would be looking at some serious time in a Federal prison. I mean really a tax cheat is the best the GOP can find to lead the country, a country Mittens doesn't even trust enough to not pay his share of taxes as low as they are for him. Then they wonder why GOP have so many representatives caught up in corruption. Remember so far Reagan had the most corrupt presidency in history with over 200 of the people under his control that were either indited or convicted. Wonder if Mittens is out to break that record.
Like it was standing still! And much much more I hope we can expose them before its too late! Where is the mainstream media???? Under a rock!!
Whom.... really? Reagan? I thought for sure it would have been little bush's administration..... he had people resigning faster than you could spell some of their names.... resigning doesn't count?
Nope resigning allows them to go free from having to face convictions. That was how Newt got away scot free on his ethics violations.

Give me a time in history when the government has been so divided and refused to work with one another. You know that is and has been the case... look at the debt fiasco we went through... another record broken by the Republican group. they have set so many negative records, filibusters.... just out and out "NO" and some times with no reasons. Obama invited McConnell to celebrate with his own states victory super.... he refused! This party is all about hate and lies... it is time they be held accountable for their actions.... they are not there to do their own will or Koch Brothers, but for the interest of the people that put them there...... and with a 9% approval rating.... not too many people think they are doing their will...
Tom, Not since the civil war has this country had such an incompetent, corrupt congress. Nor has it been so full of hateful division.
A house divided cannot long stand. So I've heard.
Solution: vote em out and put Democrats in to help Obama get things really going!
Fired up! Ready to go!
Afrommi did a lot of research to confirm the authenticity of the following. I think this prophetic statement needs to be posted frequently from now until the November and beyond.
It's the truth the rich want the US government out and the legal tender with it. Boehner should have said privatise privatise privatise instead of jobs jobs jobs! All the signs are there! And the funny (not so funny) thing is that they are cocky about it! Even giddy! Beware of republicans baring promises!
That's it xxx....*giddy*. That look on Can'tor's face that I can't stand.....like a smart alec trying to hold in a laugh after tells somebody to do something and laughs when they get in trouble. Giddy.
