Justice Thomas, for all his faults, spends his vacations in Walmart parking lots in his RV, touring the country. Pretty cool, in my opinion.

Typical of someone who's too fucking cheap support local economies by staying in RV parks owned by Americans, Justice Thomas stays in WalMart parking lots and sends as much money as possible to the Chinese.

Yeah...pretty cool.

He just wants to kill off the private healthcare market and force everyone into a single payer system.

I hope that's true. It's the only way healthcare will ever be fixed.

Romney has no more chance of passing this by the Teapublicans then Obama does.

You pubbies are also good at avoidance in addressing a question. There has been another jobs bill since the stimulus, that was also connected to infrastructure. So here's the question again.

-Explain the difference between your willingness to continue to employ troops with no practical need, and your lack of willingness to employ people to repair roads, dams, bridges, schools, etc...-

I'd say that there actually ARE productive jobs for those troops being cut...if you pubbies were actually willing to spend money on American infrastructure.

Explain the difference between your willingness to continue to employ troops with no practical need, and your lack of willingness to employ people to repair roads, dams, bridges, schools, etc... Or, STFU.

If congress has launched over a thousand investigations, as you say, it's been nothing but waste for the sake of partisan grandstanding. You pubbies sure do enjoy wasting money on investigations. It's a shame you're not REALLY interested in solving problems.

Obama just made 80,000 troops unemployed and the GOP is their enemy??

Funny how the right is willing to spend hundreds of billions in tax dollars to employ troops that basically produce nothing, but aren't willing to spend a dime of tax money to employ Americans for the purpose of repairing and improving infrastructure.

Out of their asses they'll complain that the government doesn't create jobs, while they complain up front that the government is eliminating jobs.

Fucking hypocrites.

I'm going to start a religion that doesn't believe in health insurance. Do we get an exemption from Obamacare too?

#1 | Posted by JOE

There are already religions that don't believe in certain procedures.

It does bring up a question though. Since the Jehovah's Witnesses are against accepting blood, are they also eligible for some sort of waiver or discount? Where does it end?

Obama wimped out on another one.

I suspect that far fewer people have been harmed and that there's been far less environmental damage by the generation of nuclear energy then by coal. Build the plants.

Many home-school programs are funded by tax dollars and school districts as well.

I don't have as big a problem with selective attacks to assist oppressed rebels, such as was the case in Libya. Or with surgical strikes, to take out certain capabilities, such as may be necessary in Iran.

It's occupation and nation building that I really think we need to stay away from. You can stomp on an ant pile and the ants will be really pissed off for a while. In the end they'll still rebuild their own pile.

Dependency Index Surges 23% Under President Obama

I think that headline should read:

Hmmm..I wonder if some of it could have anything to do with all the extra boomers that are retiring. You know..all the Teapublicans that are whining "Keep your government hands off of my medicare!"

there are some people here who piss tears out their eyes if you criticize their Bushie.

Actually, it seems like it's getting kind of hard to find anyone who even admits that they voted Bush lite.

Sometimes when I am sitting on the toilet I like to imagine Mary Magdalene kneeling at my feet and washing my toes with soap and hand lotion.

It still doesn't account for the long term return from circulating American wages. And, it was still worth it.

I believe that if the govt had stayed out of it GM would have been better off.

#4 | Posted by MSgt

There's the Republican line of thought in a nutshell. Republicans really only care about saving the big business or cutting government spending.

GM might have been fine. But, hundreds of thousands of American jobs would have left the country. But who cares about the jobs? As long as the corporation survives, right?

So, up front, saving the auto industry cost the taxpayers 13 billion. I'd bet that the 13 billion has already been paid back several times in tax collections on the circulating revenues of those 300K +/- middle class jobs that were saved.

It's a shame that much of the right only seems to understand the economics of a moment, rather than the long picture.

"And I think Glasshouse is trying to make the "socialist medicine" connection"

And he fails horribly in the process.

#14 | Posted by 726

The thing Glasshouse and much of the right don't seem to get...Obamacare isn't socialized medicine. That's probably the largest disappointment that most people have with Obamacare. Perhaps in the future it can be fixed. It will never be fixed by Republicans.

I tend to prefer when individuals do what they think is right (in this case Obama things that Super Pacs are wrong) even when it is inconvenient for them.

#36 | Posted by ExpsRedemption

Bullshit. I think you've demonstrated significantly that you prefer what ever makes Obama look bad.

If he was planning on taking Super PAC money.....

#8 | Posted by American1st

You have no idea how a Super PAC works. A Super PAC may not donate directly to the candidate. Even if Obama had continued with complete disapproval of Super PAC's, they could and would have still run ads on his behalf. Just as Romney has already denied any connection to messages put out by Super PAC's on his behalf.

If Obama wants to endorse a Super PAC that is working to fight the attacks of its GOP counterparts, I see no problem with this PAC countering the flood of misinformation that's about to come down the gutter from those special interests intent on defeating him.

It was a frickin Chrysler commercial. All of you Nancy's should lighten up a little.

Every ideology must have its assigned villains, whether they are real or significantly embellished.

Good for you! Most of the grownups watched something else.

You would love Cuba or North Korea. There is very little inequality there.

How does that statement differ from saying 'As it would be the end result of his perfectly implemented libertarian ideology, Ray should love Somalia'?

It's probably Rob-the-Ahole just trying to be funny.
