War on the poor, courtesy of House Republicans, with an unbelievable bill with draconian cuts. E.J. Dionne, a Senior Fellow at The Brookings Institution and Washington Post columnist, hashes it out with Ed Schultz.

Over 12 million people out of work as of today.
Over 40 million people on food stamps as of today.
Over 8% unemployment for the past 3 1/2 years.
And it's the Republicans that have this (here we go again) "War" on the poor???
Republicans want to put people to work, the democrats want to put people on welfare.
you must be fox people, because every jobs bill that the president puts out the repbubs dont budge but they like killing planned parenthood. Oh, don ut remember old Mitch mconnel saying what their priority is, let me refresh ur memory, " our goal is to make this president a one term president" so of course they will not pass anything. Keep listening to fox!

The GOP at their worst: congress of 2012.
This is the worst document ever passed by any congress, and the most destructive to the middle class, poor, elderly, children, students, and the handicapped. They are actually cutting 300,000 from the school lunch program, sacrificing children for the wealthy!!
This budget says all you need to know about the GOP.
At the present moment the US government is running without a "Budget"..
And has been doing so for over 1000 days now.
Next local public school systems run on local tax dollars, time to get off the Federal tax cash cow.
The government is borrowing $0.40 for every $1.00 it spends.. That is a recipe for disaster.
You two taking a break from Fox Propaganda?
Or just using what you've learned?
The Ryan budget is the most immoral and toxic piece of legislation ever passed in the US congress. The fact that 16 Republicans did not vote for it and it will not pass the Senate is no consolation. To actually see, first hand, in black and white, what these T-party republicans want to do to this country is simply UNBELIEVABLE.
Get these economic terrorists OUT in November, all of them.
You don't seem to mind living in a fact-free fascist world. I guess that's why you come here. So you can visit the real world once in a while.
How is it propaganda if its trure?
The last figure I saw was 4.2 million out of work. I think the trolls just pull crap out of their backside. But hey, that's what Fox Lies does.
No, I'm refering to the US labor dept. report.

There's lots more.
What's your defense of Fox?
Republicans pick on the poor and elderly, kind of like Romney pick on some kid with long hair... Losers all...
The difference is, Obama admitted it, which is the only reason you know about it.
Romney hasn't, and is lying about it. That's the difference.
So Mitt is lying about something that happened 47 years ago, really. TheRealChris, I'm sorry some kid put you in a headlock 30 years ago but get over it. FYI that kid doesn't even remember it. Though it was highly emotional for you, that same kid went on that day to set up Cindy Baker with fake armpit farts. He doesn't remember that either. Do not shape your emotional life on things that happened to you 30 years ago by dopey kids. Your self worth is what you have achieved in adulthood not about some loser picking on you, let it go. Are you crying yet?
Why don't you try reading my post for the point it makes, rather than as an excuse to spew your own personal venom.
I did read it and you say unequivocally that Mitt is lying. It was 47 years ago. I'm sure you read the Washington Post article. Care explaining to me how they were able to use quotes. 47 years ago and they have Mitt's words in quotes. You seem like a rational fellow, do you think quotes are possible? Can you even quote yourself from 20 years ago?
Today the Washington Post has a long article (by Internet standards) about Romney's days at the Michigan private school Cranbrook. Reporter Jason Horowitz corroborated the haircut incident with five former students who gave their accounts independently of one another. Romney was never disciplined, but the recipient of the trim, John Lauber, was later expelled. Back in 1965 he was a shy teen who was teased for "presumed homosexuality." Things got worse when he returned from break with bleached-blond hair that draped over one eye—a look that stood out at Cranbrook, which was largely favored by briefcase-carrying Republicans. According to what Horowitz pieced together:

And yes, I do remember intense things that happened to me 47 years ago. I'll bet you do, too.
If Romney doesn't remember it (which I doubt), it shows that doing something like that didn't matter to him, which shows how shallow he is.
I need you to concentrate because that is not what I asked you. You were gracious enough to post the quote. You do understand what a quote is in non-fiction? Do you believe that someone can be quoted from 47 years ago without recorded documentation? This story is painting a narrative. Evidently a narrative so painful that it can only be discussed 47 years later. And I seriously doubt you can quote yourself from 47 years ago. You might remember a conversation but a quote, c'mon man! You can admit to my point. You won't lose your card.
The GOP tried to court the white nationalist vote by impuning the president's citizenship that failed.
They attacked his religion that failed.
They attacked his wife that failed.
They attacked his daughters, Bristol, that failed.
They attacked on gas prices that failed.
They attack slow jam the news that failed.
They tried to attack on national security that failed
You don't need to look back to find Mitt's problems, his political cowardice and dishonesty shines through anytime.
Kind of like the Republican president who started taxng 80 % of the elderly's SSC checks.
Wait, that was Bill Clinton, the Democratic president. It must be hell going through life liberal, dependent, and uneducated !
We? So you read Obama's book?
Sources beyond MSNBC? Fox Propaganda? Republican politicians? Limbaugh?
Rimjob and his free republic Chris that is why our rightie is having such a hard time posting here, Rimjob uses brand new pc software from 1998, this site is way to advanced for him.
So, where are all those facts? Not right or left but FACTS.
Here's the quote from the book:
So, were you lying about reading the book, or just what was in it?
TheRealChris:
There was nothing whatsoever in Obama'a book that had to do with bullying. It is a made-up lie from OD.
CATT too.
So talking about Romney being a bully is a failed hit job but Obama being a bully in school is fair game. You drones should really grow a half decent brain. Typical of the right to try and sit on a moral hobby horse trying to claim "you're as bad we are so we're more moral"
It doesn't matter Romney is a man with ni courage and no core. The GOP plan is to pretend it wasn't deregulation and vaccuum up economics that got us into this and firing teachers, police, and all other public sector workers so we can spend more on defense will get us out.
So we'll forward by going back to failed policies what a future
Fiction
girlsone girl, the only other black student. Read the next paragraph and see what Obama said about that. You won't because you don't care about context while trying to claim others tell half truths. What this right wing drone doesn't want you to know is that Obama admitted this and in the book describes his immediate feelings of guilt afterward.Romney does not "remember" what he did, so he does not have any real apology or guilt over it. He laughed it off as he does most things.
So Obama's past fair game. Romney's past "how dare you? Attack job"
Obama admission and guilt, Romney "can't recall"
Oh and Mitt was an adult at the time he could have been jailed for what he did there or expelled from the academy since reports say other students were kicked out for less but then again their fathers weren't the governor so......you're just jealous because if this had been Obama the right would demand blood they have time and time again shown that there is no end to how low they will go to try to insult the president. They have invented conspiracies and embraced birther blabbings and all manner of other fictional peices of none sense so feel this attack is atleast based on something that really happend.
Never let facts get in the way of spin of course.
He laughed it off because it is absurd. Saw some lady on Chris Mathews trying to say the laugh means something. Forget about the body of work of a man, it all comes down to a laugh, ha! Just wait, now the right wing nuts will play by this new high school rule. I'm betting in less than a week President Obama will be answering a question about his high school days. He is an alpha male.
Wanna here the real story about poverty and hardships? read this story and here what life for the disadvantaged is like:
Nuff said?
Republicans just show character traits that well...
I report, you decide hahahahahahah
