“That wasn't the "dumbest." Pretending to be someone he's not, as do all good sociopaths, was the "dumbest thing!"”

“it took 10 pages , but finally someone pulls the race card and uses lynching of the president ,,,, Outstanding”

“Honey, my cup is empty, which is why, like you, I'm an ex-pat.

If you really want to look long, look at the CBO's estimates of what our economy is going to look like without drastic, fundamental health care reform.

If you really want to look long, take an hour to listen to Elizabeth Warren's lecture at UC Berkeley describing the destruction of the middle class in the U.S.

Looking long, where do you see the U.S.'s position in Afghanistan? Iraq? With regards to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict?

And since multi-national companies have fled the United States in their "race to the bottom" search for the cheapest labor, what exactly is going to pull the U.S. out of its present crisis? Consumerism? With more debt? Again, listen to Elizabeth Warren and then tell me your long-term hopes.

The house is on fire and this administration seems to content to use equal parts water and gasoline to extinguish it. Moderates be damned. The times call for far more drastic action than this administration or Congress is willing or able to take.”

“wasn't the same said of Hitler in the beginning?”

“you obviously don't live in south georgia...there are people here who think that she and Beck are ready for sainthood...I am finding myself looking for a whole new set of friends when I thought that I hung out with some pretty open minded folks who were insightful....it is like a virus has hit...and there is no cure except education...which is looked upon as suspect by that group...”

“Jobs first.

That means a real economy.”

“Exactamundo!”

“I have a hard time believing the industry is dominated by straight men.”

“You show your disinterest in Tiger's marriage by clicking on an article about his marriage and posting about it?

Okay...”

“if you don't want it out like that.. then don't become a celebrity.. because your life is put on BLAST.. i don't have any desire to be famous.. h e ll to the nall”

“It is entirly HIS FAULT that his "dirty linen" is now on display. Had he been a faithful husband instead of sleezee liar, his private life would still be private. And seriously, if you people are here to JUDGE us for wanting to talk about this, then it's YOU who needs to go "get a life".”

“You are deluing yourself if you think Kucinich was going to make any change all by himself. You see, there are these two governing bodies called the Senate anf the House...”

“It seems real change will always get laughed out of the race. It starts with depiction in the Big Media, which always presents potential change agents as weirdoes or unpatriotic "socialists." The DC cocktail people, who love the status quo, are not going to advocate for a person who wants to change the status quo. They didn't get behind Obama until it was clear he was one of them.”

“If you believe this so strongly your side should push for some sort of reworking of the federal system. States need more autonomy to implement the social and economic systems their voters prefer. As it is, your side is going to be swept from power, be blamed for the coming financial calamity and have to wait another 8+ years to hold power again.”

“That is a truly terrible conclusion you have reached. It means you think the President is weak, that he must be pushed into taking the kinds of actions he promoted on the campaign trail, that You are the one who is responsible.

I've seen bad husbands tell their wives that they are the ones who make them drink, or make them failures in one way or another, or who cause the abuse. I've seen parents make their children think they are the reasons things go wrong at home.

No. "Make me do it" is a terrible thing to say, no matter if you are a parent, a spouse, or a President. It is the way of the irrresponsible, the lazy, the manipulator.”

“Agree 100%!”

“Like Vinny I think statements like that should have some evidence included, or examples, or facts, or something, anything really. It's great you see monumental change and I don't. So, like, what's the change. Help me here.”

“It takes three elections to change Washington
and we won't win if we focus on what has not
yet come. People!, work hard to win the trifecta.”

“you see monumental change based on... the tip of the iceberg?”

“Look at the deficit, the car industry, the bank industry, the housing crisis and wake up.These belong to BO.”
