“The only thing 'far left' about Obama is his 'rhetoric'. His behavior is demonstrably Corporate Inspired.
And the Dems are NOT actually fighting amongst themselves. It's nothing more than 'Political Theater' designed to create the illusion of a legitimate democratic process!”

“What "far left agenda?"

Obama is barely a liberal. I sure don't see any "far left agenda."”

“lolll...clinton didn't move to the center...he unveiled his membership in the right.

Unless you think attacking the jobs of America's working men and women with inequitable free trade and eagerly signing deregulation bills meant to enrich the few by transferring the savings - the 401Ks - of America's workers to them is something a "liberal" would do...”

“You need us but we don't need you.”

“you forgot the (planned) destruction of the economy by Bush which created this whole mess. undoing 8 years of looting (and wealth-transference into "higher, tighter, righter hands" as Bush 1 said) can't happen immediately. it's a repugnican strategy-- get in, grab the money, ruin it for the next administration (as it swings back to the democrats.) you think it's any coincidence that Madoff, etc. are all getting caught now?”

“That's just silly.

The construction company is the employer.

That's like saying that when I have a client and do work for them for 6 months that's not a job because once the work's done it's over.”

“Ask for a raise, or at least some new material. Only those who don't think are buying what you're trying to sell.”

“Really? So, what do we call our men and women in uniform? What about all those private contractors working in the defense industry (to the tune of about $1,000,000,000,000 per year)? Police? Firemen? Doctors and nurses at the VA? None of those people have "jobs?" I have a friend who's a Sergeant in the NYPD who would really beg to differ with you. What about Pell Grants helping people go to college to obtain education for JOBS? What about Stafford Loans? Public Education?”

“You know, this libertarian fantasy you have is so absurd. Countries that have this "fundamentalist" libertarian philosophy are all sh**holes. All the non-Left Latin American governments are/were like that And you know what often happens to those governments? They get toppled by socialist revolutions (which, admittedly, are even worse forms of government). You see, macroeconomic Keynesians don't cause socialist revolutions, its the pure capitalists that do it by ignoring pragmatic reality.”

“Well, then the private sector should, we give them enough welfare. Why aren't they doing it so the government doesn't have to?”

“Secede, and let Mexican cartels run you boys over......”

“That's very true. They could just dump the insane amount of regulations on small businesses. :)”

“Someone's high school history books had the pages describing the WPA and the CCC cut out from them.”

“Well we will just wait for you to create 5,000,000.”

“Not sure what a "permanent" job is, but here goes:
The bridge project is to replace a crumbling, unsafe one. So it is a safety issue first, but after its replacement, the rather blighted area it sits in is due for new restaurants and shops. So - more jobs created.
The roof replacement of a public transportation building will enable them to put money into other upgrades and new hires. So - more jobs created.
Funding for several new Special Education teachers and teacher aids means more jobs. Continued funding depends on whether or not the schools have the money after two years.
A flood abatement project will keep the yards and sewers from flooding near the creek. That will save people money, muddy or sewer-filled basements, and lots of headaches. Not sure about jobs.
Highway upgrades means less money that the state has to use. Meanwhile, employees have work to do.
I know the developers of a downtown shopping area looked into stimulus funds for it, but I'm not sure how much they got. It involves several renovated or new offices, shops, and restaurants.
I know there a couple more, but they escape me right now. The point is, the funds are still there, they are available under the right conditions, they help create new jobs, and it is precisely what this nation needs right now.”

“Can't say that I've ever seen a telephone survey that did. Doesn't change the truth of my statement though.”

“Boy that was a good one. You guys south of the border really know how to hurt someone.”

“That's a very lame defense of her.”

“Afraid? Really?”

“Afraid? We love her, she is the best thing to happen to progressive politics since LBJ. Please, please, run her in every office you can, as a foil to the RINO's in the GOP. After that, the Democratic party will have to split to keep a viable two-party system in the US.”

“Palin got a history for lying. Sarah Palin the pathological liar:

“How is fact-checking a book an indication of fear?”

“NO...fact checking is routine for books for the ASSOCIATED PRESS, for books of this nature. Gosh...get a clue.”

“We need tax cuts and a few new Wars! Lets make being a Demcrat a crime, too, then we can all get jobs in the new prisons that we'll have to build”

“All those tax cuts did was lead to the astronomical deficit Reagan left at the end of his second term. Very similar to the astronomical deficit Bush II left at the end of his second term.”

“You still don't get it.

Reagan cut taxes and borrowed money that exceeded revenues from the tax cuts. He changed America from a creditor to a debtor.”

“And the free market has moved them offshore. Don't worry, your turn will come.”

“The free market sent all of those jobs to China, but thats ok to free market traitors. How about fair trade?”

“LOL!!! I wasn't aware that the dems were holding me as property. I also wasn't aware that I was a "slave" to the "welfare state"...whatever that is. I know that many people of your ilk tend to assume that all, or most, blacks and other minorities just mooch off the system while hard-working whites like yourself have to carry the load for us (which is why we vote democratic, right? to get something for nothing, like all us lazy minorities 'HOPE' for, right?), but the reality is quite different.

But sure, the whites in the republican party know what's best for minorities BETTER than minorities right? Must be because our IQ's are so much lower...better then that we allow YOU ALL to dictate what's best for us, as opposed to the slave-driving democratic party where we actually have ELECTED representation...and quite a bit of it. Got it!”

“And all this time I thought the Red states were the welfare states, getting disproportionately more than Blue states.”

“Usually one has to go to Fox to find such a post as this.”

“yes, then they can be sla.ves to the top 1% rich of the country...just like teabaggers.”
