Mr.Fitz's Comments (278)

“trickle me down some fruitcake”

“Free marketeers never look at the history of deregulation. As soon as the state deregulates some industry, the prices always go up.”

“Why am I not surprised. I've been in the Military on active duty. I'm a veteran. I've gotten "Article 15"--what this general is calling "lesser disciplinary action". Regarding punishment, the Military is all politics. That's the only reason why this general is backing down--public pressure.

But the whole thing is silly in the first place--why would you punish a woman for getting pregnant? I assume it's meant to prevent other female soldiers from doing the same; because it prevents one from doing her duty as a soldier, and because it costs the Army money. But it's not like they are going to sterilize women who enlist.”

“You've obviously never been to Russia.”

“Women may have a slight disadvantage due to earning less than men, but the solution to this problem is not going to be making different bankruptcy statutes for women. We need to regulate the credit industry and abolish credit ratings. Also, the current bankruptcy laws for chp. 7 are archaic. Go back to good old collateral lending and reforming the bankruptcy laws so that the little guy has a chance to get out of debt.”

“another new yorker”

“All that negative energy....

Get ready to call Ghost Busters.”

“It's not because it isn't "all we want it to be". It's because it's a piece of crap that only benefits the insurance industry. If you want to help people that cannot afford the extreme cost of health care, you don't mandate that they obtain health insurance.”

“Fix this by revising the electoral process. Everyone who runs gets a certain amount of airtime in public debates. That is all! That way, even ordinary non-millionaires can run for office if they have good ideas.”

“I think a better idea would be to expand medicare coverage using reconciliation, since medicare costs are indeed part of the budget.”

“opt out of insurance by not driving

means opt out of job by not driving to work

means opt out of obtaining food if you live more than a walk from store

means opt out of pretty much anything if you don't have public transportation”

“All the while Bush was in office driving up the national debt the teabaggers were silent. In fact, they were quick to cry treason when people questioned Bush's motivations for the second Iraq war. The national debt increased from 5.6 trillion in 2000 to 10 trillion in 2008. Where were the teabaggers then? Now that we have a president who wants to do something for the little guy--like giving him health insurance--the teabaggers are all up in arms. That's why I don't take the movement seriously. It's simply a political movement aimed at electing a Republican in 2012.”

“You are obviously one of the many who has not read any of the Constitution. The government has the authority to do a great many things, not just protect your mansion from the poor folk.”

“It takes a comedian to actually show some chutzpa in the Senate.”

“If Congress can't do it, then it should be listed here. I couldn't find anything.

“ya-ya-ya-yes it was”

“Yeah, but they have a really good wealth redistribution program there--one person makes money, the other steals it.”

“Sad. Dozens of witnesses, yet the State can't nail the case shut.”

“I'm interested to hear your explanation. Applications ask for your race and, last time I checked, 'Hispanic' was listed along side 'White', 'Asian', and 'African-American'. So, while you may be enlightened, the rest of society, including institutionalized racism, is not.”

“lol”

“Too big to pay taxes.”

“In biblical days they wouldn't have taken his picture.”

“The guards held me all night?

I'm going to Italy!”

“Then the Dems should have used reconciliation to pass public option. Instead, they chose the way of cowardice.”

“you are not alone

definitely looking into supporting third party”
