Really?

http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal/2012_01/down_the_rabbit_hole_indeed034657.php

So while Robert is upset at how Rick Santorum is being "picked on" when this "picking on" gets to the level of being criticized for throwing a Halloween party for soldiers kids we can talk.

When you get criticized for going Christmas shopping like President Obama did from Insane John McCain, we can talk

Until then SHUT UP

Should be arrested

So Romney said he has "personal experience" hiring undocumented immigrants. Using the rights views on immigration shouldn't he be arrested then??
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/01/10/romney-i-have-personal-experience-hiring-undocumented-immigrants/

backwards socially

http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2012/01/07/400032/gop-candidates-condemn-same-sex-marriage-in-new-hampshire-debate/?mobile=nc

I'd like to bring up a quote from last nights Republicant debate from Rick Santorum when asked about Gay Marriage. His quote was "I'm certainly not going to have a federal law that bans adoption from gay couples, when there are only gay couples from certain states"

Does that mean every state doesn't have gay couples? Really?

They are so backwards on this issue

Wrong Rick

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/01/06/santorum-improving-jobs-outlook-due-to-optimism-for-obama-defeat/

The jobs are improving cause PRESIDENT OBAMA'S POLICIES ARE WORKING!!!

Really Disgusting

You know this is intentional
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/01/06/399800/tucson-gun-show-held-on-anniversary-of-giffords-shooting/?mobile=nc

disgusting

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/post/rick-santorums-baby--and-mine/2011/03/04/gIQA0uH1eP_blog.html

This is disgusting. After Rick Santorum's wife had a miscarriage, they brought the dead baby home to be with their children. That's not normal.

I remember

I remember when so-called President Bush made a recess-appointment named John Bolton to head the U.N. (what a mess he was) and no one complained. I mean no one.

Yet when President Obama makes a recess appointment to a department that Republicants don't want since they don't want consumers to be protected, all hell breaks lose.

Another childish display by the kings of being babies, the Republicants
http://money.cnn.com/2012/01/04/news/economy/consumer_bureau_cordray/index.htm?hpt=hp_t1

What I would like

I say guns should be outlawed. I know that will not happen cause of what is interpreted (wrongly) in the constitution by nuts like the NRA. Really though simple rules could be enforced which might make the stupid senseless shootings decrease:

A) Strictest background checks should be conducted for ANYONE attempting to purchase a gun. I mean thorough thorough thorough. Any questions permit is denied

B) Strictest training for those who seek to purchase guns BEFORE they are allowed to take the gun home.

C) Strictest safety measures for those who own guns to make sure they are only used if they have to

D) Strictest PENALTIES for those who use guns. I'm saying minimum life in prison and I'm a firm supporter of the death penalty.

Just my ideas

pathetic

It's pathetic how Republicants lie so much. Latest example is on 60 minutes yesterday. Eric Cantor was being interviewed and they were talking about the most overrated President in history Ronald Reagan.  The interviewer made the accurate statement how Reagan raised taxes but Cantors press secretary interrupted the interview yelling off camera "no he didn't"

Facts show otherwise but a Republicant wouldn't know any facts

http://www.americablog.com/2012/01/eric-cantors-press-secretary-freaks-out.html

A few wishes

Just a few holiday wishes

For Los Angeles to elect a mayor that's more interested in doing the work of the city then being in photo-ops


For Republicants in Congress to start doing the work of the people instead of the Corporations

For the election to be positive.. Oh who am I kidding with the nuts running against the President.

For a serious start to construction of high speed rail systems instead of bickering from guess who?

For Citizens United to be overruled. That was the most stupid ruling ever by the Supreme Court and the activist judges there.

For President Obama to get the credit he earned for having the courage (unlike the last President who "didn't think about him anymore" to give the order to kill Bin Laden. the world is a much safer place now and President Obama had the guts to make the call unlike Bush who was nothing but a COWARD

For the "Arab Spring" protests to continue to see true change in the world

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone. May your dreams come true in 2012

He's right

In this case Ron Paul is right. Yes his racist writings have reappeared recently but really

http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2011/12/30/395881/ron-paul-claimed-an-aids-patient-is-a-victim-of-his-own-lifestyle-in-1987-book/

But really unless AIDS is acquired via hospital and dirty  needles there there are ways to prevent it. If you choose not to it is a lifestyle choice. If you chose to take drugs via needles if you chose to have unprotected sex it's a choice.

Wrong

In today's Los Angeles Times, Ronald Brownstein has an op-ed talking about "The GOP that 2008 created".

The whole piece is wrong. The GOP has been the same. They are being called on it more. THEY are the ones who gave the banks the bailout. Their policies that fail like trickle down economics have been the same for decades, their views on social issues have been the same for decades only difference really is they are louder and more obnoxious now. Other then that they are the same Republicants they always have been.

Irony

Is it me or is it ironic that, when Republicants are state after state are changing the rules requiring people who vote get an id(which is illegal called a poll tax), don't REQUIRE one in Iowa for the caucus next week? They are hypocrites in the worst way!

uhhhhhhhhhh Rick?

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/12/28/395599/perry-canadian-oil/

I'm not sure if Rick Perry is aware of this but when he gave this quote "U.S. should buy more Canadian oil so we don't have to buy from a foreign source" last I checked to go to Canada  you do need a passport which I think makes it a foreign source.

Sorry Mr. Perry (republicant) you failed basic geography.

Can't tell the truth

So Newt Gingrich now says his first wife wanted the divorce from him. Facts show otherwise
http://www.cnn.com/2011/12/26/politics/gingrich-divorce-file/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

If the Republicants claim how they love the "sanctity of marriage" how can this guy be legitimate?

No you aren't close

http://www.americablog.com/2011/12/gingrichs-campaign-manager-concurs-newt.html

So the idiot Newt Gingrich (as well as Rick Perry) failed to get enough signatures to get on the ballot in Virginia for their Repubicant primary.

The campaign manager for Gingrich actually compared his failure to the Pearl Harbor attacks calling it a "unexpected setback"
So the Pearl Harbor attack is an "unexpected setback??" really? Funny I thought it was an act of war by Japan

http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10150470288199197&id=19182454196 is the full quote

Two Questions

With all of those who attack President Obama over religion I have one question: What specific laws have been signed by the President to weaken religion? I'd really like to know

Also since the right hates immigrants I have a second question: Why don't you hate Santa Clause? Every year he enters and leaves this country illegally :)

Just Wondering

Just wondering why the right doesn't point out every year how Santa Clause enters the country illegally? They hate illegal immigrants don't they? :)

Tradition

http://www.newseum.org/yesvirginia/

Every year I post this. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and is safe for the holiday.

"DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old.
"Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus.
"Papa says, 'If you see it in THE SUN it's so.'
"Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?

"VIRGINIA O'HANLON.
"115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET."

VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

I have an answer

http://mediamatters.org/blog/201112230001?frontpage

A question was asked (nevermind the racial tones) how long would Sean Hannity's show last if he made a comment about the President "looking like a skinny, ghetto crackhead" I have an answer... Forever

You see the right could say whatever they want about President Obama (and they have), they can make all sorts of false accusations, they can accuse him of not being from America (despite a birth certificate showing otherwise) they call him anything and everything and face no responsibility for their hatred toward our elected President.


Now when Herman Cain was accused of sexual harassment you saw how the right was blaming everyone BUT Herman Cain. It's really pathetic actually.

I believe we are responsible for our words. I believe we should be held to higher standards. The right believes in the lowest common denominator I believe we should be held in the highest denominator. I believe when the right lies they should be suspended if not more. I believe the same about the left.

Problem is no one is monitoring the hate.

Huh

Let me see... The Occupy protesters are using their right for free speech but yet those who were arrested need to take a class on free speech

http://occupyamerica.crooksandliars.com/diane-sweet/c

He's baaaaaaaaaaaack

Bitterly insane John McCain is back. He's now attacking President Obama for god forbid going Christmas shopping for his children.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/12/22/mccain-gets-mad-at-obama-for-christmas-shopping/

Get a life the election was 3 years ago. YOU LOST

EXCUSE ME

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57346189-503544/romney-gingrich-blast-obama-dems-over-payroll-tax-flap/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+BuzzGames_Gamecore+%28TheShowbuzz%3A+Games+GameCore%29

The nerve of the Republicants for blaming President Obama for the tax cut problem. THIS IS ONLY THE REPUBLICANTS FAULT!!

Congrats

I'd like to say congrats to Republicants for as always refusing to do the work they were hired to do and giving the house back to the Democrats next year as well as the re-election of President Obama. You Republicants are truly do nothing as they prove time and time again.

Correction

I often called Nancy Pelosi (accurately) a weak leader when she was speaker of the house. John Boehner makes her look like superwomen. He has on a few occasions now negotiated a compromise with the White House and the Senate put the tea party makes him cower every time. Grow a set Mr. Speaker and be a man and not the cowardly lion.

Remember

Remember Jan 1st when your taxes go up the people who signed the pledge NEVER TO RAISE THEM did. That's right the Republicant party.

You are sick

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/12/17/georgia-birther-suit-attempts-to-remove-obama-from-2012-ballot/

So President Obama has long shown his birth certificate and it's STILL not good enough?? You "people" are sick and need to see shrinks. And again this is only cause of the color of his skin.

Good idea

http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/12/18/391576/gingrich-marshal-judges/

So Gingrich said he would send U.S. Marshals to arrest "activist judges". That's fine start with the Supreme Court and arrest activist judges Thomas, Alito, Scalia. That would be a great start. After all they are only driven by their own political views.

Reality Check

With the uproar over the Keystone Pipeline the Republicants are insisting on building we need a few facts of the matter. First the following:

The owners of the pipeline are not an American company but a Canadian company

With that said the logic with the Republicants saying it will create jobs what they aren't saying is that it will probably be Canadian jobs. Not American jobs.

Why would Republicants, who show repeatedly that they hate America, want to create jobs here?

http://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/tens-thousands-jobs-keystone-xl-pipel

Did you know?

Did you know the bullshit war in Iraq is over? I bet you didn't cause it hasn't really been mentioned in the bullshit media. 4500 soldiers dead based by the lies of George Bush. Well over $1 billion dollars spent, our economy in ruins cause of this. I so wish Bush could be tried as well as Cheney, Powell and everyone who spread the lies about it.

is it me

Is it me or is it ironic that Newt, multi time adulterer Gingrich is signing a pledge forbidding Adultery? Isn't this the party of family values?

Just remember

To those who continue to claim President Obama is a Muslim(which since we have freedom of religion in this country it shouldn't matter anyway) I seem to recall the same people were attacking President Obama FOR HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS PRIEST. Oh yeah you aren't supposed to remember that cause Republicants think you are stupid.

Wrong and a liar

http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/david/hannity-osama-bin-laden-dead-thanks-george-b

So Hannity think Bin Laden is dead "thanks to George Bush" and refuses to give the President WHO ACTUALLY GAVE THE ORDER TO KILL BIN LADEN the credit for having the courage to do so.

In fact Bush "didn't think about Bin Laden anymore"

The coward that was Bush deserves NO CREDIT

Huh

I realize there is jealousy of the Lakers in the NBA but to overrule a trade made is horrible. I think the NBA has NO RIGHT to do so. They didn't when the Knicks got Anthony or the Heat signed Bosh and LeBron. Or the Celtics when they got Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. Nope just the Lakers.

That being said I think the Lakers gave too much for Chris Paul but if that's what they wanted so be it. There should be no interference.

Realignment

So the NHL announced realignment and I'd like to suggest the following to football:

AFC East:
New England
NY JETS
NY GIANTS
Buffalo

AFC South:
Jacksonville
Miami
Tampa Bay
Atlanta

AFC North:
Pittsburgh
Indianapolis
Cincinnati
Cleveland

AFC West
Oakland
San Diego
San Francisco
Seattle

NFC East
Philadelphia
Baltimore
Washington
Carolina

NFC South
New Orleans
Dallas
Houston
St. Louis

NFC North
Green Bay
Chicago
Detroit
Minnesota

NFC West
Kansas City
Denver
Arizona
And the team I'm drawing a blank on right now which is pissing me off :)

Funny

They can't attack him on his policy so they will attack him on everything else.
http://nation.foxnews.com/president-obama/2011/12/03/obama-hawaii-17-day-vacation
remember how Bush took vacations a month at a time? Remember on those vacations he was told things like "Bin Laden determined to strike in the United States" and chose to do nothing? Remember when Katrina hit and Bush was playing guitar? And singing happy birthday to John McCain?
The republicants should in NO WAY complain about this.

Only In America

http://www.silobreaker.com/hostage-taker-sues-couple-over-promise-5_2265025336544592001

Only in America can a person who takes hostages sue the hostages.

By the way

I do want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. I hope everyone enjoys their time with their family and friends and remember DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!

These people live among you

I wish I could make this up

http://www.americablog.com/2011/11/muslim-turkeys-are-invading-america.html

This is murder

http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/david/pregnant-seattle-protester-miscarries-after-

So a pregnant women who was kicked and pepper sprayed by police in Seattle while exercising her right for a peaceful protest had a miscarriage. The cops should be charged with murder in this case. She did not chose an abortion (which is her right).

One more

Here is another example of racism of Pat Buchanan

http://mediamatters.org/blog/201111210016

Failed

Congrats to the Republicants, who as always think tax cuts for millionaires are more important then anything else, for failing the super committee which they wanted. They are the ones who SOLELY put us here where we are in the economy. They are the ones who SOLELY want America to fail. Blame goes squarely on Republicants.

So how did this work out?

http://governor.state.tx.us/news/proclamation/16038/

Remember how sane people (which leaves Republicants out) asked for prayers for his state to get rain?

http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/tceq-high-priority-water-locations/

I guess god doesn't hear idiots.

Him again

So the latest Republicant to jump to or near the lead (depending on which polls you look at) is Newt Gingrich. I think we need to remind the phony party of family values how he had multiple affairs and served his one of his wives divorce papers while she was in the hospital.

Nice family values

Focused??Really??

Nice to see the Republicants with their "laser focus" on jobs actually make time to classify sauce on pizza a vegetable.
http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/11/15/369252/gop-pizza-vegetable-school-lunch/

Why don't they actually focus and something like jobs? Oh yeah they don't care.

Arrest this man

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/11/16/370552/ut-college-gop-preisdent-obama-assassination-tempting/

This person should be arrested saying it's "tempting" to assassinate President Obama. You can't threaten the President. Even if you don't mean it.

Hypocrites at their best

I often call Republicants hypocrites. This is them at their worst. They are calling for Justice Kagan to recuse herself from the upcoming healthcare case but not calling for Clarence Thomas, who's wife is spearheading campaigns against the healthcare reform. If anyone should recuse themself from the healthcare case it's clearly him. But of course we don't hear about that from the right wing media do we?

Never learn

Despite being defeated soundly on Tuesday by all radical moves by Republicants to do things like end collective bargaining they are still at it. Trying to find new ways to screw the middle class.
http://crooksandliars.com/kenneth-quinnell/next-labor-battle-ohio-workplace

What I find funny

I always find it funny how Robert brings up Al Sharpton regarding racism but I've never heard him comment about racist Pat Buchanan who is also on MSNBC.

Just wrong

I'm watching this disgusting situation at Penn State. How Joe Paterno is allowed to coach any game after helping cover this horrible act is beyond me. Shame such a great legacy is tarnished but that was by his own choosing.

Congrats

Congrats to the voters of Ohio for soundly defeating the union busting measure taken by Republicants. A boatload of money was spent to try to get the measure to pass but the smart voters of Ohio spoke. Shame Republicants won't listen

Only in Republicantland

Only in Republicantland can a deadbeat dad receive a pro family award as Rep Joe Walsh did. He owes $100k in child support but according to the bogus family research council he deserves an award for that

http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/11/04/361149/joe-walsh-family-research-council/

Why I attack them

I attack sexual affair Republicants because, well Democrats aren't perfect and have had their shares of problems with that, Democrats don't claim to be the party of family values. Democrats don't claim to be hollier then thou like Republicants, and if you really take a look Democrats are more responsible and mostly do resign unlike the Republicants who continue in office like Larry Craig, David Vitter, John Ensign. Hell Newt Gingrich is running for President and he cheated on his wife while she was in the hospital. Great values they have.

Hypocrite

I find it funny how Mr I hate the government Chris Christie seemed to forget that and declare a state of emergency yesterday asking the federal government for help.

President Obama should tell him hell no. As well as any of these Republicant jerks.

Nice To know

Good to know if you are a rightwing sexual pervert you can always get hired at Fox News like former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/22/mark-sanford-fox-news-hired_n_1026783.html

curious

Just curious who congressmen and congresswomen and senators loyalty really is.... There are many who have signed a no tax pledge from Grover Norquist and, have more loyalty to him then their constituents. Really they have more loyalty to Norquist then the constitution of the United States which really a question needs to be asked: If people put the needs of Grover Norquist then the country they swore an oath too shouldn't that be immediate grounds for impeachment? Why isn't anyone asking this question?

act of terror

http://thinkprogress.org/special/2011/10/24/351638/chemical-bomb-tossed-into-occupy-maine-protest-camp/

I'd like to point out this act of terror against the occupy protest in Maine. If this was done at a phony tea party group it would make headlines

just wondering

I saw a story in the Los Angeles Times yesterday about how the Republicants running for President are courting the religious sects in states like Iowa and vice versa. Now I'm wondering if we have separation of church and state why is this even happening and why are these religious leaders getting tax exempt status when they are talking politics at all?

Weak

Again to remind everyone who are flip floppers regarding Libya...

First Republicants complained how the United States weren't helping the rebels take Democracy in Libya.

Then after PRESIDENT Obama joined the NATO attacks helping the rebels, Republicants questioned why we were in Libya

Now that Obama helped with his ouster Republicants question what took so long.

Hypocrites. Republicants are nothing but

President Obama could walk on water and Republicants would say it's cause he couldn't swim. Republicants are scum.

Get a life

http://mediamatters.org/blog/201110210021

Bill O'Idiot needs to get a life. First the phony war on Christmas, then the phony war on Easter now a phony war on Halloween.

Get a clue get a life and get in reality.

Goodbye Farewell, Amen

Well cleaning up another REPUBLICANT mess President Obama announced today that the remaining 40,000 troops in Iraq will be drawn down.

For the record that was $850 million wasted, 3500 troops killed for a lie. Why won't anyone have the courage to charge Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and any of those assholes who murdered them?

Remember

I hope come election time people remember who voted against the jobs act. Who voted AGAINST putting people to work. That's REPUBLICANTS plus DINO Nelson from Nebraska and so called independent Joe LIEberman.

I hope every person who runs against them uses that vote in their campaigns.

Again who wants America to succeed? Democrats

Who wants America to fail? Republicants.

For the record

For anyone who says Democrats are soft on terror I just have to say: SCOREBOARD

Bin Laden,killed under Obama
Gadafi, killed under Obama

Sorry Republicants, you lose this one, as always.

It's very simple, I'll scream it again

Watching the Republicant debates I've come to a conclusion: They must all share one brain! Yet again you hear about the pour businesses being handcuffed by regulations and the only way to get the economy going is by easing them and giving them tax breaks so they will hire Americans.

THAT'S BULLSHIT!!

For the millionth time here are facts:

Companies are making record profits, THEY ARE STILL NOT HIRING.

Instead of the breaks starting at the top they should start at the bottom. They more money people have the more they spend, the more they spend the more products will be in demand, the more products will be in demand the more corporations will hire.

Its that simple

Why isn't this more news?

So I'm reading in the Los Angeles Times that Blue Shield is going to return to Californians $283 million dollars in credits, because of the Health Care plan passed by PRESIDENT OBAMA.


http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-excess-profits-20111014,0,1379725.story

That's the idea folks.

Here is my question

I'm pro labor in pretty much everything. I believe in a strong workforce. I would like to comment on the nba lockout. I'm wondering why everyone hates the players who are not responsible. The owners, who are claiming they are losing 300 million dollars but REFUSE to open the books, are not taking any blame.

I wonder why? I'm not against people making money but why is it only the athletes are deemed greedy in these cases? The OWNERS are the ones CHOOSING to cancel games.The OWNERS are the ones who are killing the jobs for the arenas yet all I hear taking the blame are the players. I'm sorry that's wrong. I'm not against the owners making money as I said but owners will be around the same team for dozens of years, they will make money if they are smart every season. Players are the ones who are taking a chance. Players are limited to their time on the court in the case and when an owner is done with a player he will dump the player the first second he gets. And it's funny how the players are the ones who are told how much they can make yet the owners can make unlimited amounts of money.

Now I'm against guarenteed contracts. I think they should due away with them. But again why should one group be told how much they should make and others shouldn't?

Congrats

Congrats to Repubicants who show they don't want to put America back to work and, contrary to what they claim President Obama is doing, THEY want to make America like the Soviet Union. Anyone who votes for them is a complete and utter idiot!

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/10/11/1025366/-Republicans-defeat-jobs-bill-in-Senate?via=blog_1

They don't get it

I'll say it before I'll say it again.... The right wing doesn't understand what the occupy Wall Street folks are about. There is a letter in the Los Angeles Times today saying how they are not the tea party and the tea party is organized etc etc. The tea party is FUNDED FULLY BY THE KOCH BROTHERS, DICK ARMEY'S GROUP FREEDOM WATCH (which what they know about freedom is beyond me) AND FOX NEWS.

These are NOT funded by left wing organization. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE FRUSTRATED ABOUT NOT HAVING A VOICE. They want to be heard. And unlike the tea party, they are not encouraging violence against people, they are being peaceful and respectful.

Remember that.

Wrong on many points

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/10/07/romney-god-wants-america-to-lead/

First I would like to say rip to Raiders owner Al Davis who passed today at 82. We loved you. We hated you. We wondered what the hell you were doing. We always respected you. RIP

I want to point out why Mitt Romney is wrong on many of these statements at the link above.

First he accused President Obama of "deliberately trying to weaken his nation"

Who's nation? We're all, last I checked anyway, part of the United States. The same nation

Second "God did not create this country to be a nation of followers.America is not destined to be one of several equally balanced global powers"

God did not create America. People escaping religious nuts like him  did. People created America by declaring our independence from Great Britain. We are part of the same world last i checked as well.

Third "America must lead the world or someone else will"

I realize he, like every Republican, has a short memory BUT it was REPUBLICANS who put us where we are today and ARE OFFERING NO SOLUTIONS TO FIX THE MESS THEY CREATED

Fourth " I will never apologize for America"

How about apologizing for yourself you lunatic?

He also accused President Obama of "accepting America's decline"

How?


Oh yeah Republicans can accuse everything without an explanation.

Never Understand

Why the right doesn't seem to understand what the occupy Wall Street protesters want. It's really simple. They want to be heard. They are tired of being ignored and are fed up. Why the right hates them is they are people. They are not sponsored by the Koch brothers like the Tea Party is. They are normal people who they ignore. That's why the right wing media hates them.

Just so you know

For those who say Government doesn't create jobs I'd like to throw this out to you:

Odds are you drive to work (at least in Los Angeles most of us do) it was built by workers from a government contracts.

Odds are they were educated at goverment funded public schools

Odds are if you take a train they were built by workers who got government contracts

Odds are the building you are in got government contracts

Odds are ladies and gentlemen you are surrounded by government jobs.

End of your argument

Won't go over but

So here are my ideas how to get the economy going again. Corporations won't like it but this will work

1) End ALL free trade agreements. The simple reasons they are in a large part what's killing jobs around here

2) Any company who chooses to move their headquarters overseas pays a huge tax to do business here. (remember Halliburton did that recently)

3) Any company that moves jobs overseas faces a $100,000 fine PER JOB.

4) End ALL tax credits for companies who are paying less then 5% in taxes. There are many

Now Republicans claim that tax breaks are what creates jobs. We know that's bullshit. Businesses are paying less taxes then ever and are receiving record profits and ARE NOT HIRING. But those idiots continue the same bullshit which NEVER WORKS.

About Time

I'm a sports fan as everyone knows. I also am a believer while we have a undenyable right to freedom of speech we also are solely responsible for the words we use and accountable for the responses we get from our words. So Hank Williams Jr. was on false news this morning and compared President Obama to Hitler. Espn promptly pulled his long standing intro to Monday Night Football based on Williams Jr. words. Sorry Hank you are responsible for your choices

http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/7056003/espn-pulls-hank-williams-jr-ready-opening-mnf

Now if only the drug addict, Beck and all of the other who have done the same would be treated equally.

it's sad

I'm looking at the docket for the Supreme Court this session and it's sad but with the activist judges on the court now I can predict how they will rule on every case. They won't surprise anyone.

Not Even

http://mediamatters.org/research/201110010002

President Obama can't even make a honest statement without being attacked by the alleged liberal media. Really pathetic and desperate the righties are.

Who is trying to create jobs?

http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/09/30/332848/breaking-promise-gop-job-training/

So with the bs that Republicans say about wanting to create jobs I was wondering how come in their draft budget for labor THEY ARE SLASHING FUNDING FOR PROGRAMS THAT HELP CREATE JOBS?? Again who actually are trying to do something as always are the Democrats. Who as always does NOTHING are the enemy of America the Republican party

Where is the liberl media

Just wondering why there is NO coverage on the protests on Wall Street going on right now? If this was a "liberal media" I would think I'd have no problem finding it. But I have to search real long and hard to see what's going on.
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/09/25/police-arrest-80-occupy-wall-street-protestors/

If this was a tea party protest that would lead off broadcasts and we know it.

Again as usual crickets.

More racism

http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/09/rep-joe-walsh-media-protects-obama-because-hes-black/

It's funny how people see things for what they are. Nevermind Joe Walsh IS a deadbeat dad who owes child support. But he seems to be under the impression that President Obama is being protected by the media ONLY cause he's black. He also had the outrageous claim earlier this year that the only reason President Obama was elected was cause he was black.

If how the media treats the President is being protected I wouldn't want it. If the so called liberal media treated so called President Bush like they treat President Obama life would be better today. President Obama is attacked mercilessly every day from every angle despite his many victories but the media looked the other way when Bush was destroying the country.

Obama's victories (vs Bush): we can start with the death of Bin Laden (something Bush failed to do when he said "i don't think bout him anymore")
Healthcare
Lilly Leadbetter where people get fair pay
Ending the horrible dodt policy
Despite what the media tells you the major companies are making record profits

And so forth and so on. President Obama has dealt with blatant racism, blatant hatred, and shrugs it off. He's done more in his time then Bush did in 8 years.

consistancy

So with all the talk about an investigation about President Obama giving stimulus money to a company here for solar energy how come there was never talk of an investigation of Dick Cheney awarding no bid contracts to Halliburton which he has so many ties with?

Oh yeah there is such liberal bias.

Bullcrap

Disgusting

Nice to see Republicans are still stupid

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/09/11/316339/new-york-gop-exploits-911-anniversary-sends-islamophobic-mailer-to-voters-in-ny-special-election/

Like I said. They are not heroes. They are frauds.

Prioritites??

No one will ever forget the terror attacks of 9/11/01. But the house made sure because instead of doing what's important RIGHT NOW, like jobs, they decided to pass a resolution to never forget that tragic day. Nice priorities enemy.
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/09/09/house-passes-resolution-to-never-forget-911/

In Your Court

Allright enemy. The ball is in your court. President Obama gave a fair, comprehensive plan, said how we'd pay for it, and gave you things you want. You talk about job creation here is your chance to put your money where your mouth is.

Damn Straight

I think this is the most accurate description of the enemy part I've seen ever. Thanks to the letter writer in the Los Angeles Times (even though he obviously is a Republican) for saying the truth.

Well, how dare you? The Times actually writes that Perry appealed for federal assistance to help fight

the fires raging in Texas. Everyone should know that Perry would never ask for federal assistance. That would make him the biggest hypocrite in the Republican race.

Rep. Michele Bachmann could explain that the federal payouts to her family farms were really to other family members, and her lobbying for federal money for a new bridge is, well, helpful.

To hear The Times tell it, Republicans are happy to denounce the government and use it for their benefit at the same time.

Super Bowl: Green Bay over Pittsburgh(again)

More of the same

With yet another mass shooting, this one in Carson City, Nevada, when are we going to have an adult (sorry that leaves Republicans out) conversation about curtailing gun violence? When are we going to toughen laws in this country? When are we going to have tougher sentencing for crimes involving guns and most importantly when will we have the most strict background checks on potential gun owners?

Predictable

So when President Obama gives the job speech this week we know what the response will be from the enemy: They will attack it, demonize it, call it socialism, communism, say he hates America, but what the enemy won't do is offer any type of counter proposal because this is what they want Americans to be:
Poor scared and stupid. They prove it time and time again

Football

So with all the talk about a football stadium being built here let's talk about a couple of things:

First it's not going to be taxpayer funded. It's privately funded which is a good thing.
Second I don't want a retreat team. I don't want the Chargers, Raiders, Rams, Vikings, Bills, Jaguars or any team currently in the NFL. I think Los Angeles should get an expansion team otherwise we will not go to games. We deserve a team to call our own.
Third I don't see the need for an NFL team. I'm happy watching the best games on television every week.

ENough Already

So both Bush and Cheney have books out. Both men claim they were in charge when the 9/11 attacks happened. Both have lied so much they can't even get their stories straight about that tragic day. Both men don't even use the word tragic to describe that day.

Bottom line is this: Despite his claim he couldn't know an attack was coming, FACTS show a month before in a Presidential daily briefing an attack was coming. Maybe cause Bush was on vacation he didn't really care. So the attack could have perhaps (again I say the word perhaps) been prevented but Bush we also know wanted to be at war. Any war. This is Bush's biggest failure!

A Reminder

So idiot Ron Paul is on the warpath about FEMA saying it's not necessary. Citing the lack of response during the Katrina nightmare as an example.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/27/ron-paul-we-dont-need-fema/


Actually idiot Paul the lack of response was because of the following:
A) Bush was on vacation and didn't care
B) Bush was incompetent
C) Bush being incompetent and hired incompetent people for important positions.

That's why idiot.

I don't think so

You know I'm a big sports fan (I'll be giving my football preview before the season starts) but I object to all the games from the Little League World Series being televised. I'm sorry these are 12 year old kids who should be out having fun with this and not dealing with the cameras. It's sad to see and I wish it would stop.

Where is it?

So where is the credit from Republicans toward PRESIDENT Obama for ending the regimes in Lybia and Egypt (soon perhaps Syria and Jordan as well)? After all if their god Ronald Reagan ended communism this is the exact same thing!

Where was he

We all know the tragic case in Fullerton (at least around here) where cops beat to death a homeless man. The persons father has been all over the news trying to get I don't know. I know this may sound harsh but where was his father during his life that allowed this man to be homeless? Why didn't he help him? Now it's just seems that he wants money. Which sadly he will get.

Vacation?? Really??

So the latest phony outrage about President Obama is how dare he take a vacation in times of economic turmoil. Keep in mind Congress is off on a vacation right now as they seemingly always are.

But let's see I remember hearing nothing about the MONTH LONG vacations Bush took. Keep in mind he was told on vacation that a terrorist attack was coming. Did nothing. Bush was also vacationing when Katrina hit. The response he was in charge of was delayed.

Before the enemy (Republicans) complains. Look in the mirror.

Aiding a terrorist

So remember when the 2008 campaign President Obama was accused of "paling around with a terrorist" by "people" like McCain and Palin and the right wing media?? Well a member of Bachman's staff was arrested for being a terrorist
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/08/17/bachmann-campaign-staffer-imprisoned-for-terrorism-in-uganda-in-2006/

Where is the outcry from the right wing media on Michelle Bachman EMPLOYING a terrorist?

Texas Politics

Remember one of the themed attacks against Presdient Obama during the 2008 campaign was how Republicans didn't want "Chicago Politics" whatever that meant.

With Rick Perry entering the race for 2012 one thing no one should want is a return to "Texas politics". After 8 years of the disaster that was Bush the United States can't handle it.

Definition

If you look at the definition of communism at dictionary.com

com·mu·nism

   [kom-yuh-niz-uhm] Show IPA

noun

1.

a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.

2.

( often initial capital letter ) a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.

 

Just what the enemy wants.

Why

You know what I always find funny is how the enemy (Republicans) talk about how President Obama is a socialist but if you look at what the enemy wants is  they want us to be a communist society. They want only rich and they don't care about you otherwise. Just like in the old Soviet Union.

Thanks

If you want any more proof how Republicans want to destroy the United States I present the downgrade by Standard and Poors. They fully place the blame for the downgrade of the credit rating on the Republicans refusal to raise revenue.

So thanks for hating Republicans

this is why

This is why Texas Gov. Rick Perry will never get elected President of he runs. He is hostating a prayer meeting of Governors (which already is stupid considering the fact that since he called for prayer to end his states drought the size has doubled) but this is the agenda at the event:

– Oprah is a sign of the Apocalypse: In his channel on GOD TV, Mike Bickle called Oprah a “forerunner to the harlot movement.” Bickle also warned that traditional “marriage will be…defiled” as the “gay marriage agenda, which is rooted in the depths of Hell,” progresses.
– Blackbirds are dying because of gay soldiers: Dr. Cindy Jacobs recorded a video declaring a connection between the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and the sudden death of blackbirds in Beebee, Arkansas as a divine punishment. She also called “girl-on-girl kissing” a “plague on society” and asked divine forgiveness for the violation of a woman’s “natural use.”
– The Statue of Liberty is a “demonic idol”: In various sermons, John Benefiel called the Statue of Liberty a “demonic idol.” He also expressed a belief that homosexuality is a plot contrived by the Illuminati “to limit the world population.”
– Hurricane Katrina was divine retribution for the city’s “sin”: John Hagee said residents of New Orleans were at fault for Hurricane Katrina: “I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God and they were recipients of the judgment of God for that.” Hagee has also insinuated that “the Holocaust…was the fault of Jews themselves” and Hitler acted as a “hunter” corralling the Jews into Israel.
– Gay rights movement from the “pit of hell”: Dwight McKissic denounced comparisons between the civil rights movement and the gay rights movement because the latter is a “satanic anointment…inspired by the anti-Christ” that comes from the “pit of hell.” McKissic also said that “God uses natural disasters to punish evil,” pointing to Hurricane Katrina because “New Orleans flaunts sin.”
– Jesus actually opposed the minimum wage: Influential pastor David Barton has made a name for himself by distorting Biblical text to support his claim that Jesus opposed the minimum wage and the capital gains tax. Barton has also argued that public school students are getting “homosexual indoctrination.”
– Children of gay parents are like orphans of 9/11: During this year’s Faith and Freedom conference, ThinkProgress reported on Jim Garlow’s comparison of orphans of the September 11th attacks to children raised in same-sex households. Garlow is also known for his controversial allegation that African Americans have saved the country from the “enslavement of gay marriage.”
– Director of a Christian para-military group: Jay Swallow is the Director of SWAT, a “Christian Military Training Camp” organized “for the purpose of dealing with the occult and territorial enemy strong holds in America.” Participants of the training session sign a liability waiver before becoming “warriors” against “occult and territorial enemy strongholds in America.” Participants are also trained “how to pray for casinos on Native American land.”
– African Americans are “cursed” by homosexuals: Willie Wooten published a book about the curse of the African American people. He wrote that their tolerance of “immorality” in the Democratic Party begets curses of “adultery, incest, children from incestuous union, children born out-of-wedlock, destroyed virginity, bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism.”

This is disgusting. Why isn't the so-called liberal media covering it?
