“I hope all the Blue Dog supporters want to give him donations and work to get him elected.

I won't donate a dime or 1 phone call.

I think he is a phony.”

“Blue Dogs aren't fiscal conservatives, they're plutocrats.

A fiscal conservative is someone who wants a balanced budget and doesn't want the government to waste taxpayers' money.A plutocrat is someone who twists government into an instrument for market-gaming and profit-taking and transferring wealth from workers into the pockets of the industrial cartels and the ultra-rich who own them. Plutocrats pretend to be fiscal conservatives, but vote for tax cuts for the rich, refuse to raise taxes on the wealthy, create plutocratic graft schemes like Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage to pervert efficient government programs and corrupt them to funnel tax dollars to the cartels.

Plutocrats start unnecessary wars on the basis of lies to increase the profits of the war cartel.
A majority of Americans believe Iraq and Afghanistan are a waste of our resources. We are pouring another $130 billion in tax dollars down the ratholes of the war cartel, and for what?

No one who opposes single payer can claim to be a fiscal conservative.
We pay twice as much per capita as most European countries while denying 50 million of our people health insurance. Why do we have this problem? Because the parasitic private health insurance cartel costs sucks $400 billion a year in plutocratic waste and graft. http://www.pnhp.org Why do Blue Dogs want health care to cost more for ordinary Americans? Why do they want to use taxdollars to pay graft to the cartels?”

“Who is buying his books? That's easy: the credulous, of course. And there are plenty of those. As H.L. Mencken said: "No one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of Americans".”

“Credibility and the bottom line may be linked but not directly as criminal entities do have a lot of profit for much less expenditure. so people may be buying Friedman not because of his credibility but so they can figure out what is the next subterfuge to loot the world?”

“So are the sale numbers of Fabio romance novels and
Brittney Spears. Does that prove they're good
literature or good music, as opposed to pre-fabricated,
corporate-packaged, unoriginal and soul-less rehashes
of contentless cliches? You're confusing popularity
with quality.”

“Well, if you happen to be a corporate brown noser such as Friedman, there's big money in telling fanatical, free-market ideologues what they want to hear. Friedman puts the cherry on top of far right, elitist ideology to make it palatable for mass consumption.”

“You can afford such a lawyer? Do you have him/her on a retainer? Is he/she a business lawyer? What is your profession? I am asking honestly with no pre-determined attitude. Just curious. If you don't respond however, I will just assume you to be a knowledgeable ass.”

“sure and there were WMD in Iraq.....supplied by Halliburton while Cheney was raking in the dough as CEO.”

“factual??”

“Pray your medications are not from China!”

“The drugs you buy at Wal-Mart are made in India. That is why they are so cheap. God only knows what their quality control is like. There is a worldwide problem with counterfeiting of medicines and it has caused some real problems in the third world, especially in Africa, where it has directly resulted in a stronger strain of Malaria. You might want to reconsider your choice of pharmacies there.

Moreover, having looked at your comments to date, I have to believe that you are working for Wal-Mart in some capacity and post here as part of a guerilla marketing ploy. Really tacky and dishonest Wal-Mart, but very transparent.

You guys are scum.”

“The savings you get on your shoddily made Chinese wares doesn't offset the damage Wal-mart does to the economy.”

“I'm sure Walmart appreciates your loyalty.

Maybe you don't know that most Walmart employees are part-time through no choice of their own; it is to keep them from insuring their families. They cannot get a full-time position.

Maybe you don't know that most Walmart employees qualify for Food Stamps because of their low wages.

Or maybe you're kidding.”

“It's not the people that killed this man. It's the mob. Psychologists have shown for years that when you gather a large crowd together, the individuals will willingly give up their individual will for the GROUP will! That's okay if there is a strong leader of the group (which WalMart SHOULD have provided in the form of a leader PRESENT for the security team!) who can place limits on the mob mentality, but when there's simply a goal of shopping, the mob can quickly get out of hand.

That's why I will never shop on black friday, that's why I don't like to go to sporting events, that's why I don't like being around large crowds. I don't like to give up my own willpower, and VERY rarely will do so!”

“The WalMart in my neighborhood is pretty civilized, too. I shop there because it's nearby, open 24 hours, and their prices are the best. As much as I might like to support the family owned grocery and hardware stores in town, I just can't afford it. We're not talking about saving just a few pennies here, the mom & pop stores are WAY higher on most items. Not their fault, they can't offer lower pricing, but it's not my fault that I've only got so much paycheck to feed my family and pay my bills.”

“The few occasions I do go to walmart, I find the other customers, frankly, scary. I was elbowed once to grab a pack of 667 polaroid film a few months back. When I retorted "What Land Camera do you have" the person looked confused. Explaining further, turned out the person did not even have a Polaroid camera, they saw the price drop and jumped at it. She'd been so eager for a deal yet had no idea what she had even picked up.”

“Im not sure what the deal was with the automakers in Alabama, but unions are not illegal here. Before the Lee jeans company moved all their plants to Mexico, I worked for them and was part of that union.

I have heard of some manufacturing companies here that threaten their employees with being fired if they are caught even speaking to a union Rep. They will go as far as stationing a supervisor outside to keep watch.

When the president of the UAW spoke on CNN a few days ago, he listed all the concessions made by Alabama to foreign auto workers. He was very articulate about the dollar amount. What he did not mention, and I would be curious to find out, is how much the US autoworkers have received in Fed aid to date. He forgot to mention that part.”

“You are right, the Right to WOrk laws just state that you do not have to belong to the union to keep your job. That is a position that this Liberal supports. Unions are good, but like Business is good, only in moderation.”

“Defend the Blue Dogs at YOUR peril. We're taking their purse strings and by giving money to ACT BLUE we will vote them out of office. We are taking bonifide, genuine and real Democrat applications only. Sorry, DINO's need not apply.”

“Too bad he was a Republicrat.”
