Bobert: "The stuff you throw out here has Tea dripping off it."


Interesting...I didn't think George Carlin was a Tea Party supporter, and some of the routines I posted of his, were even before Obama!..which the Tea party was a backlash to.

How come every time I post a pretty 'dead on' post, or link, you say it's Tea party???...even when I posted one of my posts BEFORE Obama was elected, too....and Little Hawk's in 2000???

I wonder if its roots are in the same thinking of your bit on the CD about just using that one chord?
BTW, I listened to it, and gave the programming director a buzz...but she wasn't there, for now..but I got the message in..OK? It's in her court, but if I don't hear back from her, I'll give her a jingle. I sent an e-mail, as well.

Check this out...no wonder some of you get bamboozled!


You people don't understand.
The President is a deity, he changes the nature of things and meaning of words.
When he says "what we can do right now" is different to "politics of the moment", it IMMEDIATELY BECOMES SO.
Other metaphysical changes by the President:
When he increases deficit spending, he reduces deficit spending.
When labor participation rate is at a 30-yr low, we added millions of jobs.
If you fail you see it that's because you're racist and ignorant and stuff.

Ridiculous.

We are faced with this problem now.

The self-serving ideological Congress (by in large) is responsible for corrupting
government and the contemporary system of governance which has to change and will when the public gets fed up enough.

Paul Krugman has offered an excellent argument on the electorate's amnesia.
Romney is a throwback to G.W.Bush and his policies which created the problems the country now faces. Obama didn't create these problems as the Repubs would have you believe.

Romney operates in logic tight compartments. He believes in his mantra of business first, the savior of society. He is enamored of highly structured institutions that don't deviate from their designs even when the country is in peril.

This is why he is a Mormon. This is how he would run the presidency.

Jack the Sailor: "Rove doesn't care about healthcare. He is focusing on the big money coup."


R-I-G-H-T!!!!!....and WHO pushed through that SAME 'healthcare' bill through the Massachusetts, legislature....and now it becomes Obama's model???? Come on....don't sprain your head thinking about it, or throw your jaw out of place, saying it....NOW, all of a sudden, "It's about healthcare!!!!"

Make up your mind, you can't have it both ways......(well, you can, but the only person who would believe the spin, is you!.....oh, and maybe Bobert..BUT, I really don't think he is as dumb as he pretends!).

So...Romney the 'systemic liar' presents a healthcare bill, that is the same one you all support, BUT when you are told it was Obama's, then Obama is telling the truth...and not about a 'money coup'..but Romney is still a liar...and Obama isn't??? The same bill gets rammed through..but when the name changes on it, it magically changes in motive and intent..and integrity???????

To quote you: "GEEEEEFS!!!"

Don't get pissed at me just for pointing that out to you....it's your argument!

Bobert,

No offense, but we don't need a third party. All we need is to set up a formula across the country and use it. Use geographic information systems to say minimize the circumference of district boundaries, then have a rule saying that the maximum circumference for all districts in the state, or for any one district, can't go over a certain percentage. That would make gerrymandering virtually impossible.

But the constitution and the primacy of the states on these matters do not allow that. If even one state legislature objected (Texas) then it would be unconstitutional to implement.

Try getting 2/3rds of the states and congress to ratify such a thing while Karl Rove is still working on his permanent Republican majority plan and has all of that Bush SCOTUS approved anonymous money GPS crossroads money to spend.

Bobert, asking a man with seven million bucks to understand a person with nothing is like asking a cat to understand a mouse. The cat will understand his view of the mouse and the mouse will still end up in the gullet of a machine that grinds.

I have said before: Obama has to win this election--but now y'all oughta be thinking of a third party, because the two you have are similar in too many ways. When half the governing body of any country is/are millionaires, and when the well-off have 1/20th of that, and the less well-off 1/40th of that at best, sooner or later people get antsy. Tell me why your congress has so many millionaires? Tell me what these millionaires worry about? PEOPLE?

The system is just plain wrong. Miners are still dying from black lung and there ain't shit being done about it. Old people are treated like burdens on society. They built it for krissake. Kids are sent off to become fodder. For what? The American Dream? To benefit who? More millionaires?

I don't recall Obama starting any of those wars... Might of fact, Obama hasn't started any wars... The right wing predicted back in 2008 after the election that Obama would get US into another war... To date, he hasn't...

One thing about being president is that you inherit the country as your predecessor left it... It's kinda like being a relief pitched... The score ain't 0-0... You get every single problem that the last guy left...

George Bush's foreign policy was terrible... Obama's is one heck of a lot better... Look, we on the left would like to see him be more of a "liberal" but he ain't... He's just head and shoulders above Bush or Romney... He deserves credit where credit is due... Why can't you ever say one nice thing about him other than spinning everything, as in 100%, as wrong???

Never mind... I'll tell you... You hate Obama... Hey, just lay the cards on the table... If you wouldn't be so dogmatic in your hatred of the man and everything he does you might actually achieve some credibility...

Oughtta be an interesting book, brucie and brings up another beef I have with Romney and the TeaPubs... Its thei idea of American "exceptionalism"... This is a code word for Cold War, Hot War and every thing in between... We will hear Romney use this word over and over... It's Dick Cheney, Part 2...

BTW, had Hillary Clinton not half-apologized to Pakistan for the killing of 26 Pakistanis then the US very well might not have had a land route out of Afghanistan... I don't blame Obama for having to do what he had to do... Pakistanis are extremely proud people and Obama did what he had to do... Romney would have played Cheney hard-ball and exacerbated an already lousy situation...

But, hey, America would still be "exceptional", right???

Give me a break... We had enough saber-rattlers from January, 2001 to January, 2009 to last US a life time... No thanks... I'd rather not be "exceptional"...

"NEW YORK – On the fourth day of the 1967 Arab Israeli War, the intelligence ship 'USS Liberty' was steaming slowly in international waters, 14 miles off the Sinai Peninsula. Israeli armored forces were racing deep into Sinai in hot pursuit of the retreating Egyptian army.

'Liberty,' a World War II freighter, had been converted into an intelligence vessel by the top-secret US National Security Agency, and packed with the latest signals and electronic interception equipment. The ship bristled with antennas and electronic 'ears' including TRSSCOMM, a system that delivered real-time intercepts to Washington by bouncing a stream of microwaves off the moon.

'Liberty' had been rushed to Sinai to monitor communications of the belligerents in the Third Arab Israeli War: Israel and her foes, Egypt, Syria, and Jordan.

At 0800 hrs, 8 June, 1967, eight Israeli recon flights flew over 'Liberty,' which was flying a large American flag. At 1400 hrs, waves of low-flying Israeli Mystere and Mirage-III fighter-bombers repeatedly attacked the American vessel with rockets, napalm, and cannon. The air attacks lasted 20 minutes, concentrating on the ship's electronic antennas and dishes. The 'Liberty' was left afire, listing sharply. Eight of her crew lay dead, a hundred seriously wounded, including the captain, Commander William McGonagle.

At 1424 hrs, three Israeli torpedo boats attacked, raking the burning 'Liberty' with 20mm and 40mm shells. At 1431hrs an Israeli torpedo hit the 'Liberty' midship, precisely where the signals intelligence systems were located. Twenty-five more Americans died.

Israeli gunboats circled the wounded 'Liberty,' firing at crewmen trying to fight the fires. At 1515, the crew were ordered to abandon ship. The Israeli warships closed and poured machine gun fire into the crowded life rafts, sinking two. As American sailors were being massacred in cold blood, a rescue mission by US Sixth Fleet carrier aircraft was mysteriously aborted on orders from the White House..."
