How about this
You buy a car last year, your brother in law borrows it and recks it, you fix it and some punk keys it, you have the scratches buffed out and get it repainted then some crook steals it right out of your driveway. Do you still buy the same car?
What my friend B. must realize as this. He must begin to also explain in clear concrete terms that the NEED for the jobs plan is also there and exists because the private sector refuses to do its patriotic duty of commerce. Not only must the government create jobs to keep its people safe not only from terrorist but from collapsing bridges and roads because we are OWED this, but its must maintain the economic structure for Americas safety. Once we collapse to a beggars breed how will remain a safe entity from bombs and terrorists? What will be left to protect of values besides life?
Those who hate our government and by extension our society need not apply. In fact you will be long gone from our midst soon enough. But know this. Our government MUST create the jobs tea bagging republicans hate because they have stymied the path for any other way. It is ALWAYS the right that pushes this country towards socialism. As Bush did with the BIGGEST government ever and the biggest debt ever until that time. The patriot act? Recall that do you?
If tea bagging republicans are allowed an inch there goal of running this counties economy into the ground will be met. And the fact they do not love all jobs and all growth is a testament to there true diabolical incessant need for control. They would have us believe that ONLY the jobs they approve of are correct and good. But that is a well to do nose in the air attitude. Because while the rich are getting richer in a disproportionate manor as opposed to the former middle class we see as such the snobs nose flick. But understand clearly and with where with all that any job is a good jobs as long as it is an honest one.
Cheers
My friend B. has also done well by making Cantor a target. REAL people despise him as such as he is a type. An unbecoming over bearing child whining as such. And in doing so gives name to a faceless government entity that is the behind the scenes conspirators of the downgrade. In conjunction with the investigated S & P Cantor in fact tried to call B.'s bluff. But found no takers. This man is not only a detriment to his country but a shame on his party. And it is quite clear that a party of giddy children unable to swear themselves in properly or read the entire Constitution is not ready nor has ever been ready to take me on.
In fact I'm just getting warmed up. ; ]
The PEOPLE.
Cheers luv.
I was watching Hard Ball with Chris Matthews a minute ago on TV, but had to turn it off in disgust and disbelief when the host seemed to agree with one of his guests who said that Congress had given President Obama everything he had asked for. This is the kind of untruths that the Republicans peddle and repeat a sufficient number of times to the confusion of the populace.
WTF is your problem CM get with the program and stop agitating the masses agains the President. Show your colours and stand up like a man for the President
I was watching Hard Ball with Chris Matthews on TV a few minutes ago and had to turn it off in disgust and disbelief as the host seemed ready to agree with one of his guests who said that Congress has given President Obama all that he has asked for. Where were they all these past months? These are the dangerous untruths that the Republicans peddle and repeat over a sufficient number of times, eventually leading to the utter confusion of the people who listen to them.
How about this. You buy a car last year and it stops working after a while. Next year you're in the market to buy a car. Do you buy the same car that worked for a while or do you choose one that you know will not work for you at the start?

Sounds like you are talking about the obstructionist tea party mental midgets in the House. Are you having "buyer's remorse?"

"How about this."
Do you think that repeating yourself would make that lame analogy any better than the first time?
Fail.
Regarding the upcoming compaign for 2012, at least for my part, I am *particulary* not in the mood for nastiness and negative compaigning this time around (not just last time). Actually, I *never* am in the mood for that "stuff". Just want the facts and positions from the candidates *about themselves* with some *truth*, please. But, the world just seems to be a nasty and negative place and there's is nothing I can do about it. :(
Sorry, Tea Party "Patriots" and republicans. None of your "leaders" have a chance at the presidency.
President Obama has another term to serve.
Try again in 2016.
Amen.
I say try again in about 2034. Maybe the Republicons will come back to a more sane Eisenhower-type party and the teabaggers will crawl back under the rock they came from. Gosh, even Reagan looks more like a lefty everyday.
Get the corporate money out of these races, too!
You have named bridges.... Do the same thing in naming the do-nothing congressional members. Rate them for obstructionist behavior, pandering to big money and their work attendance - for starters.... Put the names on the horizontal scrolling list at the bottom of the screen as you go through your show - and do it every day for the next year! Also, every day, invite those named congressional members to come on to your show to defend themselves and their behavior. They won't come - but invite them, 10 at a time, every day.
I'm not a religious person by ANY stretch of the imagination. But I know good-and-evil does exist, a condition emanating only from the minds of human beings. Thankfully, from the polls, it appears around 80% of the U.S. population recognizes the evil emanating from the immoral GOP. The 80% secular, moral majority in this country must stop acting like sheep and must NEVER "turn the other cheek." It's time to get truly angry and insist upon both structual changes and reforms designed specifically to weed out, and forever ban, the evil behavior of the GOP and its immoral allies.
