Schwarzenegger Takes Cue From Wife, Parks Porsche In Red Zone
Commented Nov 24, 2009 at 07:35:26 in Politics
“Schwarzenegger is no stranger to hypocrisy. Arnold was elected after Gov. Gray Davis was highly criticized and ousted and in a recall for trying to raise the CA Vehicle License Fee to meet budgetary shortfall. And what did the Govenator do? He just nearly doubled the Vehicle License Fee from .65 percent to 1.15 percent. It now costs around $500 for yearly registration of a new car in CA.”

“Yeah... when I got that $375 bill in the mail, it made me wish I was still registered in Chicago... where I would have paid about $80.”

“Truly unbelievable isn't it? The Grand Old Party of the STATUS QUO has gone off the DEEP END in their single-minded quest for power, money and salvation. They really don't give a hoot about America, the Earth, or it's people, outside of their elite club of billionaires.
It's time for EVERY LAST PERSON to wise up and understand how the ubber-wealthy are stealing our future, destroying the planet, and propagandizing innocent and superstitious people.”

“exactly.
Even though I believe people should buy their glass pot smoking devices from local artisans at craft tables. Boo, cheap Chinese imports! I kind of doubt that the government's motivation was to protect American glass blowers, but this is 316,000 bong sales for Americans!
I wonder what effect this will have on our "free trade" partnership with China?”

Stewart Responds To Hannity's Apology: Nothing's Worth Sitting Through His Show (VIDEO)

“Very funny!
Faux Noise is waging psychological warfare. It's a form of cognitive dissonance i.e., keep throwing as much shitake at the fan, and hope some of it will stick. They think they are imitating people on the left, like Michael Moore, but sadly they are not.
My observation is that lefty media figures such as Moore, Olbermann, Maddow, Shultz use facts and solid evidence to support their opinions. One can't deny that progressive narrative proves itself spot on time and time again. All the right has is Frank Luntz and his canny catch phrases du jour.”

“I have never believed in conspiracy theories. But in everything I gave seen over the last 50 years you really have to wonder. How could a nation live so consistently against it's ideals and it's own best self interest as a society? How could it be led so incompetently decade after decade into such ruin? The only logical explanation is that there is another agenda in operation. But if it is a conspiracy, it is a conspiracy of dunces because these people have taken the entire world to the brink of total disaster.”
