“Sounds like a solid logical approach. Then I would like to propose a ballot amendment in our next election - that our tax dollars stop funding health insurance for all of our politicians . Tit for tat.”

“HEY BERNANKE ! ! ! I GOT A BETTER IDEA !!! How bout we TAKE YOUR pension along with all those
other **th** *uck*n politicians pensions and throw it into OUR social security pot ? Then you and us can
all get a decent social security pension. How many hundreds of thousands of politicians and government workers are collecting now on the backs of us taxpayers ? We are working to fund YOUR ENTITLEMENTS !! Let the public know that you and they have been getting a 3% cost of living increase
EVERY YEAR - no matter what. Let the public know that your retirement pay is based on 75 to 100 % of your last annualized pay check and that you all rig that system by conspiring to give a huge boost in your salary in the waning days just before retirement . Oh and if you are an elected official then you only have to serve 18 months to get a pension ?? Like Illinois Sleazenator Roland Burris ! What pension are you getting ? You *u*k**g *s*h*l* ? We should call for a special prosecutor to look at these people for violation of the RICO Act.”

“OUR foreign policy was most COST effective when WE were the ones funding the opposition.
When WE provided the arms and training AGAINST the ruling regimes. WE provided the instability.
By these activities WE stifled the technological and armament capabilities that now currently exist.
I don't know when that was abandoned. But the Bush ideologues ( Cheney )so wrongly believed that a foreign power can help install a Western oriented political system that will democratically elect a universally acceptable leader without opposition WAS STUPID. It will NEVER work.
Iraq is not significant. Unless you have oil interests in mind.
I would like to know - What happened between the pictures of Rumsfield , shaking hands withe Sadaam Hussein, and the the current events. Why did Hussein get executed so quickly ? There is one BIG story there.”

“Exactly- everyone seems to have missed that and they have been twisting the interpretation ever since.

Tenet never believed it he just went along to justify their " cherry picking ".”

“What's monumentally " stupid " is the lack of self reflection . All of which they accuse the White House, had been done by Fox during the past 8 years against any logical dissent. And it seems to me that Tucker is doing the whining. Axelrod is only expressing everything of which we have endured coming from Fox for over these long 8 years. Greta's argument , ....not indicting the entire organization.... is exactly what Fox is now doing against Obama . Any nominee , ie Jenkins et al., any long past misstatement that can be twisted to portray socialism, any social or governmental program will be
presented as a " government takeove " by Fox.
Well Tucker it takes 2 to suck just look over at Greta.
Her once promising career will soon look like yours. Greta has also sold out.

specific story bring up difficult questions ?? wtf
non questions
" tactic " vs observation

“I have been a Realtor/Broker/Loan originator for over 20 years. Prior to the " crazy " years , under Fannie Mae guidelines, when regulations were actually in effect, small sums of verifiable money was problematic. A buyer needed to show documentation that they had the down payment, overestimated closing costs AND a reserve of 2 to 3 months mortgage payments. Why , I thought, couldn't the realtor ( we were usually tapped to lower our commissions ), the seller or someone else contribute ? The federal law was that " no party to a transaction " that actually benefits from a sale , can solicit, contribute or offer compensation as an inducement to do business.. It actually lowered the real appraised value so it was considered fraud.. " Gift money " from family or friends was allowed.Later, Realtor s were allowed to offer TV's or other inducements to list with them. Nehemiah and Ameridream programs developed as a " non profit" program , devised as " not a party " to a transaction that would accept 4% given by a seller and give 3% back to a buyer for downpayment or closing casts as a " gift ". ( This was an allowable scam ). Soon afterwards, the law allowed sellers to contribute. Mortgage companies including the one I operated under continued to push the Ameridream & Nehemiah programs for profit. I refused. i just asked the sellers straight up for the % dollar for dollar.”

“From Chicago : Could it have gone any other way ? NO ! it was tine for South America . Daley , as mayor of a city run on the politics of influence , fallaciously or delusionally believed the international community can be " bought " thru influence.
Of course, HE will confidentially blame Obama.
It really was no fault of anyone. The problem was getting involved in the quest in the first place.
In reality , Madrid would have been very appealing. Tokyo . congested but technologically capable.
Chicago, capable but chaotic. Rio would have been my last choice.”

“Does anyone remember when Cheney interceded thru channels to provide water to the farmers of the pacific northwest to the detriment of the fish and fishermen of the area ? Result was millions more lost in lawsuits and damages to the future environment than that immediate benefit.
