The only government workers I want to see gone are the republicans. I'm paying for their salaries and health benefits so they can deny my salary and health benefits. I think I'm getting sick!
If you PUKE,it better be on a republican politician and not down the drain.
night Ted--have a good one.
See you later RACHAEL HONEY.
Wow - Nice - I take it you don't like freedom of speech either...
Let's examine some and Presidential career highlights about our illustrious but come November (January 20 actually) former Commander in Chief...
Solyndra - The Obama Administration squanders half a billion dollars ($535 million) on a now defunct solar company.
Fisker - The Obama Administration approves a $529 million loan (they only receive $193 million) to a company from Finland (really Finland?) to build a $100,000 "green" vehicle that doesn't work.
Fast and Furious - Eric Holder and Obama are purposely for political reasons hiding something and the nation knows it. These chickens will come home to roost.
President's hit list - used to bolster his image as a strong leader, both Republicans and Democrats alike denounce the release of sensitive information that might endanger the lives of US intelligence assets.
Though supposedly a constitutional scholar, Obama says he doesn't think the Supreme Court will take the unprecedented action of overturning legislation enacted by Congress. Their role is to determine the constitutionality of legislation and if necessary overturn it.
Gas prices for regular gas have increased from $1.84 per gallon when Obama took office to $3.51 national average in June 2012.
Obama talked over the British National Anthem saying he thought it was background music for his speech.
Let's not forget his famous statements about "spreading the wealth around" and that if his daughter made a mistake he didn't want her to be "punished with a baby." Since when is the gift of life punishment? Since when is other people's hard earned wealth his to spread around?
Tax Cheats - There are 36 Obama aides that owe a combined $830,000 in back taxes.
Timothy Geitner - who heads the Treasury Department owed $42,000 in taxes and penalties.
Were you aware that President Obama said he had visited 57 states in his 2008 Presidential campaign?
In 2011, President Obama said he gave a Congressional Medal of Honor to Jared Monti who wasn't receiving it posthumously, he had died in 2006.
Though he swore to protect and defend the US Constitution Obama criticized American citizens for "clinging to their guns and religion" when these rights are specifically guaranteed to us by the US Constitution.
Obama takes credit for killing Bin Laden, but would not have been able to do so without intelligence gained through means that he denounced as torture, and sought to have intelligence officers prosecuted for obtaining.
Obama dramatically exaggerated the number of fatalities that resulted from tornadoes in Kansas saying 10,000 people had died when in fact there were twelve.
During his campaign, among other things he didn't deliver on, he promised to cut the deficit in half - The federal deficit has increased by over $5 trillion in just over three years under Obama.
President Obama has the worst jobs performance of any president on record.
These are all well documented for anyone who wants to come out from his cloud of denial and do a little Google research.
November can't get here soon enough.
LOL
you still spamming that stuff. your copy and paste finger getting tired?
What does mitt refer to when he say he wants America to be business friendly?
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/05/10/1090563/-Why-Mitt-Romney-Hates-Unions
Outsourcing jobs to places where people don't have a say so they can't demand good wages, firing people and making them reapply for their jobs but at half the pay, gutting people's benefits, stripping companies, treating employees like throwaway Kleenex, closing factories, stealing pensions, borrowing and pocketing... Locust capitalism. Chop shops. That's Mitt Romney's view of how to make money. Unions are in the way.
What Is Business-Friendly?
Some quick thoughts about what "business-friendly" really means: (add your own thoughts in the comments)
Business-friendly =
Low wages
Longer hours
No health benefits
No pensions
No vacations
No sick pay
Low taxes on the wealthy and their corporations
"Smaller government," -- which means less "We, the People" in charge of things:
No safety rules
No privacy rules
No food inspections
No environmental protections
No consumer protections
No citizen access to courts
Arbitration
Tort "reform" which means restricted access
Vote all BLUE DOGS DEM and all REPUBLICAN OUT of state and federal office. Railroad Conductor retired. Union member.
What can we expect from Romney? He appears to have the intellectual capacity of a Ken Doll . . . or maybe, less.
He is much like an idiot savant (very un-pc description) with only a singular talent for one portion of life - making piles of money - and to heck with the rest of society's needs - like basic health, education, protection.
I used to think we were one nation working together to make life better for all. Aw well, silly me.
Michael Eric Dyson, you need your on show.
Ruben--you are so right--he is good--I'm glad Ed gets him when he's off. --Maybe he should apply over at Foxx, so he can school them with facts.
Hey Rachael - Dont Talk To Me !!!!
Hey MD---how r u? why do you not want me to talk to u?
Hey Rachael - how R U ---- I'm just teasin ya ----- OK - I'll stop - !!!! Hope You R Doing Well Tonight - Sweety !!!
Did you two take a break and watch Chris Rock....He cracks me up! Like the Eagle.
TM--yeah--I guess that's why the posting stopped--that was very interesting, and funny at the same time--and he was telling the truth--Man!
Funny, Omit seems to think that firefighters, policemen, and teachers are not part of the American population. If that's the case, then where are they from and why are their jobs less important than those of the private sector? I think Omit NEEDS meds. It's up to those of us that support the President to keep repeating all the good he has done while in office. We need to be shouting, "Four More Years!," from the rooftops and letting these Republicans know we will not give up!
OMIT ROMNEY------------OBAMA/BIDEN NOVEMBER 2012
Lets just hope that Romney O.D.'s on his medications and dies.That would ALL of us a favor.
Ted---calm down, let's just wish he get's stuck in his car elevator, and no one will be able to find him for 2-3 years.
RACHAEL - How does ALL OF THE ABOVE sound to you ?
These republicans are so wicked...Evil bastards..The Republican Party's diabolical plot to replace constitutional democracy with an oligarchic
fascist theocracy.
I would rather go back to the "old west" were the law was settled by a gunfight.
just like when ed shultz called laura ingraham a "slut" it was not big deal.....then when rush called that college girl a "slut" everyone was blogging and b!tching and calling for his head and his job.....including ed himself....wow i love hypocracy
What are you talking about? When was this supposed to have happened? Rush Limppaws is a bigot working for the Republican Party.
exactly you didnt even hear about ed doing it......look it up on youtube, liberal media
I just did look it up and saw that at least Ed had the decency to apologize and take leave without pay. Limppaws is still on the air spewing his lies and bigotry. The only justification we women got out of that is that his ratings are falling and he's lost lots of advertising accounts. Also, this happened on Ed's radio show and I seldom listen to the radio. Oh, yeah, I agree with him, too. Laura Ingraham is a "talk slut."
mike limpman -- Is That All That You Have ??? Really !!!! Well - You Sure Are LIMP !!!
Will do mike, as soon as you can post us a link. Want to play, then you must supply a link.
Lush Limpbrain has no facts, only lies and crap so he call fool all the fools all the time, because they don't know any better and love to spread stink.
no need.....the fact that you didnt hear about it just shows our medias bias.....btw MDMI, you talk like a 5 year old, you provide no facts, and you call names.....just another uneducated liberal....talk to me when you graduate high school and stop getting your govt cheese loser
OH Ho Ho OH - A Personal Attack --------- LETS ROCK - little girl !!!! Hmmmmm !!!
"little girl"? keep talking like that and mr. shultz might accuss you of starting a "WAR ON WOMEN"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope. One is getting off subject here.....?
No = I Would Think That Another Descriptive Word Would Be More Proper !!! Hmmm !!!! little %^%$ !! he he he heeee !!! Come On Toss Me Something !! GOMER !!!
End of conversation! Go to last page
I Love You To TM - I'm OK !!!
You better be, we need to ignore this one. Not worth it.
Looks Like Fun !!!! he he heee !! Just another little PYUKE !!!!
MD-----Take in deep slow breaths Man--count to ten--drink u a cold one--we need u man--!
Rachael - I'M Fine - And Thanx - I Am Not Going Anywhere Except Toward This little PYUKE !!!!
MD/MI howdy
see we have a lame comedian in the house, just LOL at him and fly on to a better convo-sational.
Howdy Pilot - How R U ? - That little PYUKE Needs A Spinning !!!!! apparently he/she/it Crawled Back Into the Swamp !!!??????
The majority of us did hear about Ed's suspension and heartfelt apology. Where did you get that idea we didn't?
Lumpball quadrupled down on his ignorance and insults. Just shows you have no clue about what making ammends is when a person has done wrong.
A troll will never understand the difference between what Ed did and Lush didn't.
And I agree with Lioness....Laura Ingraham is a "talk slut." So is the closeted Lumpball.
No, he has spun out.
Hey Kathe, all going well?
he sure does, BUT or HOWEVER coma>>> not worth being placed back into the bull pen.
smiling i know you can swat him, but wouldn't little digs be better.
LOL
chinook
What Are You All Talkin' bout ???? Ed's Suspension ????
"A troll will never understand the difference between what Ed did and Lush didn't."
nor will a troll understand the two comments one from President Obama and one from Mitt.
smiling speaking of Mitt, I bet now that Walkers jobs creation has made WI number 50,, he has to be feeling good about his job and state reaching 47.
LOL
MD/MI how about so ROCK????
Hey Pilot-how r u tonight?
Rachael i am well thanks and its Friday! how about you?
Come on MD, you can play with out the gomer. Just because he has a tail doesn't mean you have to pull it.
MD - As TM said,you don't have to pull on his tail.Just CHOP IT OFF and get it over with.
I Was Trying To - But Everyone Keeps Stepping In My Path and Blocking Me !!! GGrrrrr Aaaa !!!!! == I Know they are looking out for me - but I'm getting Prostated - Really Prostated !!! he he he !!!!! jsut kidin' - course !!!! Ha ha haaaa !!!
The GOMER is just mad because there's not a bunch to hold you down and cut your hair!
OMG - Its A RobMe MOB - OMG !!!!!
Got it!!!
Willard keep lying and lying so bad, I'm waiting for his nose to grow. By now his nose has went around the world, and by now it has hit Willard in the butt. But he doesn't feel the pain of his nose.
Willard will always change the subject every week, keep charing at President Obama to make himself look good, but in realty, in realty, he's a joke of an candidate who's far worst that Senator John McCain when he said words about President Obama and it backfire to look bad. Willard will be more bitter than McCain when he lose this election and cannot run again.
Next week, we'll hear more lies coming from Willard's mouth......stay tuned. Willard will never be honest. As long he has the Super PAC, Karl Rove, millionaries spiting out money in advertisement with negative ads, Willard believes lying will get him in the White House. Then this man has broken his faith of a Mormon where lying will take a ugly turn, and Willard should paid the price for his actions.
Bain Romney told the truth this time. Talking about firing teacher, cops. firemen.
Please vote!!!!!!!!
Joe---- please stop using God for Your ignorance, and please refrain from speaking for all Black people. Your ideas are so unlike most Black Americans 59% is saying to "HELL" with telling people how to live their life, and I'm sure its more than that, because I was not asked to give my opinion.
Give it to him RACHAEL.C'mon now SAY IT,SAY IT give him a piece of your mind (not too big of a piece now).
Ted--thanks Man
did you see all of those idiots cheering for romney, They want their kids to have less teachers to educate them, their houses to burn down when there are no firefighters, and when their house gets broken into or someone's attacking them and it takes so long to respond to their 911 call, I wonder if they will think of how they were cheering for romney while they are being not rescued.
just because romney wants to limit rediculous pensions and health care benifits,for these employees, doesnt mean he wants to fire them....people in wisc realized its not fair for these people to have pensions that pay 80 percent of their salary for life, and health care for life
Ridiculous health care and pensions? What are people supposed to do without health benefits? How are they supposed to live after retirement without pensions? You have a heart problem, dude. You don't have one.
are you kidding? all scott walker is asking is for those people to PAY FOR SOME OF THEIR BENEFITS.....just like everyone else...god forbid we take some burden off the tax payers
Really, but it's ok for the politicians to get those same bene's. We all, that is everyone in America should get those bene's and instead of hating those with them and being jealous, we should all be fighting for those bene's. Companies will still survive if they make half the profits they do now in order to give them to us. Bain could've taken less of a profit and let those poor people that then screwed over keep their pensions instead of putting that burden on the tax payer. it's funny how they make their money getting subsidies, and leaving companies bankrupt, leaving that money to be made up by taxpayer's and you right winger's are completely fine with that but oh my god anyone else getting taxpayer money is evil, if they're not making billions off of it? explain that to me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. and by the way, those people agreed to all of his demands. get your facts straight. that wasn't enough though because that wasn't what he was after, did you not see him caught on tape saying divide and conquer the public and private unions? did you notice he didn't go after cops or firefighter's because when they tried that they lost in another state. He completely lied about everything. he didn't want them to pay more he wanted them to say no, and then get rid of them, but they agreed so his only play was to screw them completely. that's why they recalled them, but he bought the minds of people with lies. and if they knew the facts and still voted for them, shame on them. they are voting against themselves.
We don't need cops or firemen or teachers...Naw don't needum!
Scott Walker is a Republican idiot that bought an election and let a majority of the people of Wisconsin down. He did exactly what he said he would do in that tape MSNBC showed. He divided and conquered. He left many people without the right of collective bargaining and the beginning of unsafe working conditions and lower wages. Hope he's proud of himself.
im not saying that......politicians need to take a cut too....SHARED SACRIFICE....cut entitlements, cut public employees, and raise taxes on the 1 percent
Cut public employees? Why? Don't we need more policemen, firefighters, and teachers? Don't they have a right to work, too?
well why you need Cops?
after all we got Stand Your Ground now.
/snark
and by the way if the rich paid their fair share we wouldn't be in this mess. I don't understand why people defend this concept. Romney wants to raise taxes on everyone who makes less than 250,000 and lower them even more than they are now for people making more than that. So if you make that much money you absolutely should be voting Romney. If you make less, you better wake up and get some facts.
But the teachers agreed to his cuts luman, that's what they don't want you to know. They were willing to share sacrifice, but that wasn't enough.
MIKE: My X has worked for the VA for years and could have gotten a higher paying job outside of the Gov. but she took it in exchange for the benefits it gave. Now you would break the contract made. Talk about a true traitor. True blue blooded tea party . Guess which finger MIKE!
And luman, you want to cut entitlements? which ones? medicare? you want to have a voucher, which after they repeal healthcare reform, you will not be able to buy insurance with that voucher because you will surely have a pre-existing condition. That's what the Romney/Ryan plan wants to do. and even if you find ins. you won't be able to afford it. or at least most people won't.
You want to cut food stamps when there are more people out of work, what should they do just go dig a hole.
Why don't they ever talk about cutting corporate welfare, subsidies to billion dollar oil companies, oh that's right they need more money. give me a break. please I beg of you, stop listening to the rhetoric. Every word out of these republicans mouths is a lie.
only because unions are too strong....union states like california, ohio (where i live), michigan are all struggling....hmmmm i wonder why
i agree with you guys on that front......close the loopholes and raise 3 points on the millionaires.....the wars were useless... but we need to start paying these tabs
You are struggling as we all are because of the Bush tax cuts. That is why states are not getting money from the FED like they usually do. You are hurting because of the bank collapse, because the banks were deregulated. We are all hurting because Bush put us in two wars and did not pay for them, he cut taxes. Obama wants to keep tax cuts on the middle class and raise them on the jerks that caused this crisis. It's so funny to me how they are crying and don't want to pay more, the taxpayers bailed them out, they kept their own private fortunes, lost nothing, are now making more than they were before, but that's not enough for them, they are too damn greedy, they need to pay. They should have just paid everything back.
Of course we need to pay the tabs, but the more people making a lot of money, the more taxes that will be paid into the system. That's why we need a strong middle class, Unions create that. Just think about that. You don't understand that rep's don't want to get rid of Unions for any of the reasons they said. They don't want the Unions because they are in these billionaires pocket. They went after the public Unions, now they will go after the private Unions, because billionaires want to pay less wages, and no bene's, they are greedy and if they make 1 million paying you well and paying you benefits, that's not good enough for them they want to pay you less and not give you the benefits so they make 2 or 3 million.

Mike. How is something I pay for an "entittlement"? My wife worked for the state. first they took a pay freeze for 4 years. While at the same time, upper management got a 6% raise. The "workers increased their contribution to their helath insurance from 40 to 50%. Their pension was a 50 50 match. That turned out in then end to be a 40% employer, 60% employee. Sounds like tax payers are really getting the shaft. right. The State Gave up nothing and gained a lot.
To those of you who posted earliest saying you are tiring of the republican nonsense, hang in there and keep posting! I like to think I am one of many who may not be able to post very often but enjoy reading the words of like-minded people. My health is poor and I do not feel well enough to post but once in a great while, but I vote on Ed's questions and try to read as many of your comments as often as I can. You give me hope.
Annapalooza---I hope you will get better, i wondered where you had been. stay strong-
Thanks I hope you enjoy some humor too!
Live long and prosper! V
This one is for you annapalooza.Hope and wish you get stronger everyday and feel better everyday.My thoughts and prayers are with you.remember every vote ,or comment count.stay strong and positive.
ANNAPALOOZA - You better stay on here or I will have to come looking for you.When I do find you,I will have to sick my dog on you and she will give you the LICKING you probably deserve ( literally ) and then she will SHED all over you in the process.Which in turn,you would really be busy brushing dog hair off of you for quite a while ( believe me,she sheds all over me on a daily basis).So you better watch it.LOL
Mitt Romney for certain does not have the middle class (the engine of our economy) in mind. The idea that Romney may become the leader of the free world means the wealthy take all and leave no prisoners. The little guy will have been defeated by media propaganda and made powerless. Citizens United has birthed super powerful nterest groups and those groups will have prevailed. How does this possibly spell democracy?
- Our Founding Fathers of this Nation put forth the 3 branches (Judiciary, Legilative and Executive) of the government to keep our country fuctioning based on our constitution. Geometrically, it is an equilateral triangle. However, if side of this triangle is extended TOO FAR OFF of its original limit, there is no more EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE! That is what we are experiencing now!
- JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, ...
President Obama is calling on the House of Representatives to pass a
bipartisan transportation bill that would repair crumbling roads and bridges
and support construction jobs in communities all across America.
That's just it, Senior Citizen, according to the Republicans, construction jobs is considered big government. For them, crumbling roads and bridges are just fine. They don't realize that when teachers and firefighters and policemen and construction workers have jobs, they spend money and that in turn helps the private sector create jobs. How hard id that to understand?
Both your statements are absolutely true the only ones that don't seem to understand this is working class Republicans,who constently gripe about the President From Day Damn One.
Sooooo right. They don't want government jobs because they want to privatize these jobs, so they can pay private workers less money, no benefits and make a huge profit.
Citizen:
Your geometric analogy reminds of the first post that I read of Simpson's when he told a troll he was being "obtuse". <s>
It's disheartening to find that our Republic has become so bisected and pulled apart. The Founders planned for a different result. Freedom for all is going to hell exponentially since the beginning. Corporations have been here and vying for power since before we were a Nation and now they are bagging their prize. In other words, we're screwed.
you know I've noticed that pundits on the left always back off like when Hillary Rosen said romney's wife never worked a day in her life. She hasn't in the sense that Hillary was meaning, and instead of saying of course she's worked hard being a mother of five boys, bull@!$%#, I'm sure she had nanny's and maid's I'm sure she never had to work hard. They should've doubled down on that message, like they would've done on the right, instead of backing off saying of course she worked hard like our side always does. We need to start doing low down dirty things that the right does, because people believe lies more than the truth. that's just my opinion.
I believe your lying.
That should be, you're lying as in (you are) its not, your lying.Maybe the public school wasn't a good ideal for you.They taught the proper uses of those words at mine.
How can an opinion be a lie?
I believe I believe! But if it was the truth well....what you said.....
New here?
DAWNCT - I agree with you when you stated that they had maids and nanny's caring for the kids.They haven't a clue what WE middle class americans have to go through.
One basic question I had is how do the people not understand as they cherry pick the Bible they also cherry pick the Constitution I'm a Hetero Sexual and a Veteran,I swore to defined the Constitution not to cherry pick it.That from a reasonably intelligent point of reasoning means protecting the Rights of Citizens which that Document,The Constitution,provides for.If we are going to Use the Bible as the law of the land then we can burn the Constitution,If we are going to adhere to the Constitution then the Bible should be left in Church when it comes to a persons rights.I'm all for Public Prayer and in schools,that isn't a dichotomy If their is someone who objects excuse them from the area until its over They have a right to either go or stay,Notice I said Right.That is what this whole thing boils down to is Rights not God's infallible word.The Constitution allows the rendering unto Caesar,that my friends are Rights,If GOD has given us free will,the Constitution gives us the same inalienable Rights as our creator and that means leave the L.G.B.T. Communities Rights alone.You are not God.
Here-Here Simpson--right ON!
But "simpson" has NO problem "cherry picking" someones grammar. But before someone adheres to the constitution, they must know, not the words, but the meaning of the article. Not just one sentence. Very few know the words, let alone the meaning.
Hey Larry that is how divisions start I corrected him and you take it up,apparently he had no Problem with it.What's your excuse,and for your information I didn't cherry pick that was a factual point. I made about a very short statement he made so what did I cherry pick just the (your) word.Wow I'll try not to be so critical for your sensitivities ,not his mind you but yours, I'm so very sorry that was uppity of me.
Hey X--
Hey-O!!!
Im so sick of Romney I can't barely look at him more so look at him.He is an Idiot.As far as the Leak Yes i do believe the Repubs did'it ,anything to make the President look bad.Idiots Oh Im encauraging everybody to vote Obama 2012
mike luman - you are wrong! please read more about Wisconsin issues before spreading LIE PUT OUT BY GOV WALKER!
By the way, "pension" is not free! workers put aside part of their salary for retirement, just like you have 401K, savings, ...
Tell him, senior, I tried my best. I feel so sorry for you people in Wis. having to look at that beady eyed little evil toad. Has anyone noticed, Boehner, Ryan, and Walker, there are more but especially them, look evil, ha ha or is it just me.
You can't explain something to someone with a closed mind. Mike doesn't want to know. It's been explained to him several times.
