“you really think using the words war on terror would make a difference you think these guys attacking us care? You think that makes Obama weak? You are truly igmorant I feel sorry for you. Tell me oh right wing non thinker what did Bush calling countries the axis of evil do for us? PS I watch fox sometimes so I know you are parroting them almost word for word-try thinking-for yourself.”

“Terror is a tactic, like throwing hand grenades.
How about we have a war on hand grenades?
Not surprised about this continued criticism
coming from the folks that named themselves
"Teabaggers"”

“Too bad you can't apprently address the hypocrisy clearly listed in the article. Did you even read it?

By the way, what is a war on terror? What is the victory condition there, how do you know you've 'won'?”

“President Bush should have been impeached for lying to the country about Iraq, authorizing illegal wire tapping and torture.

The problem with you is that you cannot get past the idea that President Obama is America's first black President. If you don't think that the left won't criticize the President, you obviously haven't been keeping up with the Health Care debate.

And what is worse, inexperience or stupidity?”

“Death people aren't wealthy. They don't have an income either. Not that they are particularly concerned about either.”

“Which is why it's a good thing that that group comprises about 2% of the electorate. A few decades ago Progressive was synonymous with Communist.”

“You're mainlining kool aid now.”

“You seem to be forgetting something - the bulk of wealth and the bulk of income earned in this country os held by and earned by business organizations (Corporations, LLCs, etc), not upper-middle class individuals. But a big part of politics in this day and age involves the business organizations' lobbyists trying to find ways of deflecting tax liabilities off of themselves onto a readily available, easy target - upper middle class individuals (individuals making between $150 and $400 k per year). The corporations can bring to bear enormous lobbying effort to make miniscule tweaks to the tax code that save these corporations billions of dollars in tax liabilities each year, while the lawyers, doctors, engineers and mid-level managers don't have any similar ability to deflect tax liability through lobbying tweaks to the tax code, and as a consequence they get shafted - this was Warren Buffett's point. If you have BIG money, you can avoid taxes, if you have just a modest wealth, you get shafted on both ends.”

“That's not hypocritical at all. The rich all have loopholes which keep them paying far less than the tax rate for their income level. It is far easier to raise the tax rate to get more out of the rich than it is too eliminate the loop holes. It is not hypocritical to want to pay as little in taxes as is legally allowed and advocate for new or higher taxes. Hypocritical would be saying raises taxes on "them", but not me. The people at your party do not seem to have said that at least based on your post.”

“Unions are not the problem, the desire to crush them started with Reagan who was willing to let jobs leave the country just to break the unions. Free Trade was his idea and it blew up in our face.”

“Wake up. The private sector took the jobs out of the country for their own greed. Now they cannot innovate, cannot compete and look to the government for help. The private sector is what has failed America.”

“BigDogMom is right. It's the business community that's been exporting so many mfg jobs overseas and leaving the service sector as the major in house employer. When the gov't creates jobs, they're domestic jobs. Say what you want about Democrats, but they're capitalists just like Republicans. They just care more about protecting citizens than Republicans do.”

“No,no, and no. Republicans love war profiteers with our taxpayer money, Halliburton, KBR, and Blackwater have continued to be parasites on the governments teet. .

Mr Bush and fellow republicans killed any regulations that would have helped stop predatory corporations from shipping jobs overseas. Yes, Clinton is definitely guilty like his brothers across the aisle, it still doesn't alter the fact republicans believe in a either/or world view with no creativity. Republicans are stuck in the old status quo of chasing the bottom dollar and trickle down theory to create jobs. Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush have all undermined job creation. NAFTA,GATT, WTO, NO TARIFFS ON CHINESE IMPORTS, OFF SHORE TAX HAVENS, TOO MANY H1-B VISAS , ECT. It's all slanted to have a new world order of slaves and slave wages.

Germany has a socialized and capitalistic industrialized democracy that is one of the biggest exporter nations who provide healthcare for it's citizens.

Republicans invest in WAR.”

“Actually everything you republicans have done has killed jobs...or have you been sleeping throughout the previous 8 years?”

“And Bush/Cheney did what for us?”

“I think your wrong on that point, mfg jobs left this country years ago, created in part by the "all for big business, bottom line republican's" dear...it's those tax breaks you all scream about, well here's your result.

This trend has been happen since the Reagan admin., they are the one that created this service economy that we have now...”

“Being a "neighbor" of Russia has absolutely NOTHING to do with foreign policy. Nothing. The question was what did she konw, what were her views on Foreign Policy. Her reply was that Russia and Canada are Alasa's neighbors. I guess for Palin supporters that covers the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Europe pretty well. No need to go into any details of your world view if Russia is next door. Sheer idocy.”

“Then you really don't understand what is involved in most late term abortions.
It is truly horrifying that people can get sophisticated treatments like liver transplants
in just about any big city, but a woman carrying a late term nonviable fetus has only
a few places in the entire country which will help her deal with her situation.”

“Easy enough if you can afford it! I do not need to worry about abortions for myself (am 68), and could have found a way if I had needed it even when it was illegal.
But what about the poor woman who has 4 kids already, and a useless husband and no way to support another kid, or would be physically damaged if she had more kids?
What about the 13 year old girl (true story) who was incested by her father? or a poor girl/woman from a neighborhood you don't happen to live in who got raped? or gang-raped in suburbia?
OUR tax dollars will go to support playtime drugs for men like Viagra, and prostate surgery, and ... etc. I don't "NEED" coverage for this, the way that selfish male congressman quipped he did not need coverage for pregnancy..... Coverage should include all, not just a few elitists ... .”

“I don't agree with smoking. We ALL know it carries health risks to smokers and the people around them, yet smoking is legal. Say I don't want my tax dollars going to maintain the health of a chronically ill, lung cancer stricken smoker who has had a 5 pack a day habit for the last 20 years. To me, smoking is wrong, yet MY tax dollars could still go to HIS medical costs that are result of HIM doing something I think is wrong. But that's life -- we can't pick where our tax dollars go just because we want to.

A lot of things need to be done to fix health care and the abortion issue, including increased access to ALL forms of contraception, comprehensive sex education, etc, but limiting access to a legal procedure is wrong.”

“actually, many insurance companies DO NOT PAY FOR BIRTH CONTROL.”

“I don't want my tax money paying for ILLEGAL wars either, so how do I get MY way too??”

“America doesn't understand the treachery of the far right and corporatists.”

“Correct, Hillary would have won or even Biden.

I doubt liberal hero John Edwards would have won though.”

“Why would the Republicans be elected in 2010? Did you NOT See their version of healthcare reform? Is that what Americans will be voting for?”

“I think some Americans have forgotten what a real leader looks like.
I think some Americans don't want a real leader.
I think some Americans don't want anything to change.”

“Most presidents don't have enough experience to be president! What pray tell, equips one to be president? A rich family? Knowing the right people? Maybe years in Hollywood? A skin color? A nice smile? Or a father that was once a president?? I guess years in great schools working hard and life experience isn't enough!”

“What planet have you been living on?”

“There's also a book about the hypocrisy of conservatives - the Bible.”
