“You know if you would just work ACORN in there I think we can get you a Radio Show.”

“Not saying it's always his fault, but you have to admit; he did a hell of a lot wrong...”

“Bush defunded the IRS. It is a fact. If you would like to criticize my assumption that a lack of funds has affected the agency's ability to effectively do its job, go ahead.”

“All of the oil fields in Iraq, whatever their names are.”

“Whenever someone uses the word Barry, I stop reading. I am sure that goes for most readers. Up to you...”

“Are you suggesting the Republicans would've pulled out of Afghanistan? The conflict is escalating because we're escalating it. Nothing creates more recruits for the Taliban and Al Qaeda quicker than us infidels increasing our occupation. And by Republican agenda, I don't just mean Afghanistan. Even healthcare reform is being done their way.”

“Barry is subserviant to and daily feeding ... The Powers That Be= our viciously corrupt corporate Neocon 'overlords' ... who own Wall Street, The Federal Reserve, The Military Industrial Complex supplying all of our wars - troops worldwide... and of course The Mainstream Media from Hell ... infusing the American consciousness with FEAR 24/7 so we remain dazed and do not rebel against them (!!).

Their (TPTB) Reign of Terror is ending as we remember our True Inner Identity.
Arianna's brilliant idea of moving our Money to Credit Unions and strong Community Banks is 1 major next step in going Local and supporting/employing our community...not China, Walmart, Wall Street etc.etc.”

“well you just set the bar a little lower”

“ceindependence:

Ben Franklin once said, "We are all born ignorant, but we have to work at it to remain stupid." You must work real hard.”

“??huh?? in what way charley? the same-ness isnt there for me. mccarthy would only have something in common with the teabaggers. grayson is a further left-leaning dem..doesnt make him similar to mccarthy in any way. debbie is very pro-getting healthcare thru..that doesnt give her any similarity to mccarthy.”

“Enough with the liberals bashing, simp. If Barney Frank is liberal I'll eat this twizzler that fell on the floor. Barney is the same cut as Obama a good hearted Democrate but when it comes to actual legislation they compromise their tucas off to get something done that the banks, republicants, and corporate interests will allow.

He is far to pragmatic to be a liberal, and if you call the deregulation he supported over the past three decades, giving banks, corporate lobbyists, neocons and right wing loonies exactly what they wanted to take the dow from 776 to 10,000 then I need to buy you a dictionary.”

“They are only non-profit in some state and for profit in others.”

“I agree. Watch some old Bob Hope, Jack Benny or Red Skelton. Not one comment about race, or the "low road". Today's "comedians" are just glorified soal salesmen. No offense to soap salesmen.”

“good spelling. your parant's must be proud of you.”

“It's funny because she's right, not just because it's at the expense of Sarah Palin.”

“Sykes is smart, quick-witted, & well-informed-- Palin is just the opposite.”

“That's what comedy is. Taking things that you experience or see and hear about and making it funny or just relating what you see as humorous. If you don't find it funny then it's not your type of humor. I bet her parents are proud”

“Franklin Roosevelt signed the Glass-Steagal Act in the early 30's and it kept the banks from branching out into other businesses and becoming "too big to fail". The Graham-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 was created by a Republican and it effectively repealed the Glass-Steagal Act. Clinton signed the thing at the urging of Robert Rubin, his Secretary of the Treasury. He was clueless as to the potential consequences. Senators McCain and Cantwell are proposing that the Glass-Steagal Act be brought back, with all it's restrictions. Most of the Republicans will be against that because of their hatred for all things that sound like any restriction on the bankers and other speculators. The Commities Modernization Act of 2000 was also pushed through by Senator Graham on behalf of Enron and allowed for the wild speculation and price fixing in the commoditiy markets. It also restricted any attempt to regulate the derivitives markets (think credit default swaps). These two acts need scrapped and then enough investigators and prosecutors are hired with a clear mission to protect the public from the financial shenanigans. The Democrats will not be forgiven if they self- destruct on this one. Even the Teabaggers were ranting against the big bankers.”

“According to Ronnie RayGun everything was his predecessor Carter's fault.”

“Good point. We did vote for change - and he changed!
How could we possibly complain about that?”

“What numbers? Liberman is an independent in case you missed it. Please stop with the silliness. It's transparent.”

“The interesting thing about history is you can look back and take from it what you want and disregard what you don't. There is a long history of the imperialist powers raping Africa and South America clean of what they can use. Even America is a story of imperial rape. Lucky for Europeans smallpox and malaria killed most of the natives easing the taking of land and resources.

And here people are arguing about the responsibility of Americans to pay for the suffering of Africans. I would gladly say yes but there are corporations out there that robbed the U.S. of our money too. We created a massive national debt at the same time there was an economic boom for the corporate elite who really run this world< Those are the real culprits in all this Go after the real criminals since there will never be another functioning democracy until the corporations who polluted our planet start actually paying for the damage they have done>

So no more blaming the US when it does no good since most Americans have no control over any of this. Exxon and Shell should pay Africa and Goldman Sachs should give us our money back too.”

“ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH!!!! WELL SAID.”

“The United Sates and the United Kingdom before it and now joining the ranks, Israel. ROB the poor nations of their wealth (resources) then dole back a few pittances and THINK they're being generous. This IS 'the arrogance of power.”

“This may seem hard to believe coming from me & going to you, but I have to agree that if it were not for Americans and their giving, a whole lot of people would suffer even worse. The problems that the third world countries ect... are in is because of poor leadership. We give and give and sometime depending on who is leading their country the people may not recieve the help. It appears that these leaders are depriving & starving their own precious people, until the thinking changes about the human creation, things will stay the same and that is starvation.”

“His house is powered by wind, solar and geothermal energy, so your CO2 point there doesn't make much sense.

Good try attacking the messenger though. Nice distraction from the real issues.”

“The kings (self appointed or otherwise) always live a life in contrast to those to whom they pass edict. They choose war and never have to fight them, advise frugality and dine with fine goldenware, inspire productivity while producing nothing and preach sacrifice while doing without nothing for themselves.
It's been that way since time began and (sad to say) we haven't come far from that.
The only difference is that we are up to our assets in more "kings" than ever.”

“Your sarcasm is exceeded only by your inaccuracies.”

“Where are your web links to prove any of your accusations?”

“After a bunch on no offense, are you saying global warming nonexist?!”

“maybe it's yours”

“Annointed? Why because he was elected by a proper majority and not appointed to office before all the votes were counted?”

“Who is the Annointed One, ceindependence? If it is sarcasm you are about, you sure know how to turn off people from listening to your views unless they already agree with what you are saying. I stopped reading after the first line. You could call him Pres. Obama or the President but you apparently do not respect either Mr. Obama or the Office of President. So as an alternative, you could call him simply, " Obama". You are welcome to disagree with Obama all you wish, but basic manners in a public forum would bring more credit on to you as a person and your views. This is not an elementary school playground. What we need in the pushing and shoving marketplace of ideas is grownups. Try to be one.”

“See reply to mountainweb.”

“Went to NOLA last week. All I could ask myself was:

Where did all that federal funding go to fix this mess? Wasted, of course. The place is still a disaster area. Bush promised the people of NOLA that he wouldn't quit until he finished the job.

WELL?”

“"...that produced or saved 10,000 jobs."

You might want to get your talking points cleared up with ShawnHanks... According to him, it's "3,000 million" (Love that Fox Math).”

“Medicare operates with a 2-3% overhead. That sure beats the 30+% of the insurance companies, much of which is spent denying legitimate claims. Costs may very well go up under a government plan, as they certainly will under the status quo. Higher costs will mean higher taxes, which can be directed to those most able to afford them instead of denying life saving care to those who can't. This is about a lot more than just reducing cost. This is a moral issue that may well define our society for the next few decades. I believe we are better than we are presently displaying to the world.”

“Take a look at the jobless numbers that were posted today before you make such an ig*norant statement. The stimulus is working - keep up. As for the post office breaking even, ever heard of e-mail? Somentimes things just outgrow their usefulness. Of course the government will raise rates when needed but they are not after large profits like the insurance companies.”

“I guess you missed all the years that the Republican majority used budget reconciliation and threatened the Nuclear option at the hint the Dems might filibuster?

Oh right...the last 8 years didn't happen and we're not supposed to r ember stuff like that...my badl”

“Mob rules should win.

You live in the wrong country. That is exactly opposite of how the republic was architected.”

“LOL. Conservatives wrote the playbook on stealing (or buying) elections and thwarting the will of the majority.”
