Funny how you rely on ALL of the lies and B S from Fox News to make all of your talking points for you.
Do you think that repeating lies and Fox News created rumors gives you any sort of credibility? - Reply to this comment

No answer from the person who claims our prison sytem is not for punishment.
I WORK in a prison, and I can tell you that it is NOT punishment.
Keep guessing.
You'll get it right eventually. - Reply to this comment

Just answer the simple question will this Cap and trade scheme they proposing increase the cost of doing business for energy producers?
If so who will pay those higher cost?
Next question do lower and middle income people smoke at a higher % then the rich? Basically what I am asking do more poor people smoke then rich? So who is going to be paying the new cigarette tax?
Answer these questions honestly then ask your self how you can be so ignorant to believe Obama is for the middle class?
Cap and trade is going to force companies to reduce the amount of pollutants that they are releasing into the atmosphere. The technology exists to reduce that pollution already, but there isn't any incentive to institute it, so Obama is forcing the issue. I don't know about you, but I like clean air and water. I know that being a conservative, you oppose everything that relates to clean air, water, environment, etc, etc, etc, but you'll have to trust me - clean air and water is a good thing. REALLY - it is.
The taxes on tobacco related products, should be so high, that everyone quits.
Also, do you know that people in Canada pay $13 for a PACK of cigarettes? The theory is if they're going to be a burden on the universal health care system later on, than they can pay upfront for the treatment that they are going to need, because of their "lifestyle habits".
Sounds fair to me. - Reply to this comment

No Obama just wants to try and force all of to drive a GM version of the prius. I sure he hopes it is built by Obama motors but if not a any prius will do.

How does it work to be a liberal and be so ignorant?
You're spewing Fox News absurdities and nonsense, and you're asking ME what it's like to be so ignorant?
By the way, you forgot to mention Rev Wright and ACORN in your post, you must be slipping. - Reply to this comment

If you think I am exaggerating, you have not been paying attention.
It's hard to read your posts, because they are so juvenile.
Health care is a NATIONAL DISASTER, and you act like it somehow translates into Obama is going to make you drive a GM vehicle?
Why do you even bother posting, if all you can do is nonsense? - Reply to this comment

- Did the North Koreans ever launch SEVEN missiles in ONE day on Bush's watch?
No comments section on the Biden story.
NO STORY AT ALL in the headlines about N Korea launching SEVEN MISSILES on Saturday.
This news source is total tabloid. NOTHING to make their messiah look bad... - Reply to this comment

- We should just give all our income to the government and let them make sure we have everything that we need to exist and be done with it right. I'm quite sure that all goods and services would be aportioned in a fair and equitable manner. Just imagine, when you get your drivers license, the feds give you a GM car, but will only get a truck if you need one and I'm sure that pulling that camper or toy hauler would not be included as a need. But thats OK because you won't have a camper or toy hauler unless everyone gets one, wouldn't be fair. Course we'd have to tear down a lot of homes if the dwelling or property is larger than someone elses. Think of all the jobs that would be created builing identical boxes of same sized lots. But then all the jobs created will be given to illegal aliens because its cheaper and don't expect craftmanship of any kind because since the gov gets all your income, why bother. Everyone will work at the lowest possible level, at least after they have been rejected for a gov job. Naturally, there'd be a few choice locations reserved for our leaders. Mailbu, Manhattan, Miami, New Orleans, Montery among others would be off limts to the masses. After all, our leaders are special, super inteligent, almost superior beings compared to, in Bam Bams own words, ORDINARY AMERICANS. They deserve the best of everything after all, they make the decisions for the county.
Dems & Reps, all American's better wake up real soon because this is where we are headed! - Reply to this comment

- It's amazing how the neo cons NEVER have a logical explanation or solution to our nation's health care crisis.
One out of six aren't even covered, yet we pay TRIPLE what the next highest nation pays, people are DYING because they are denied benefits, (even though they've been "covered" for YEARS), our nation's businesses are being choked to death with the out of control costs, and yet they advocate doing NOTHING to fix it.
Their solution is: "It's broken, so leave it alone." - Reply to this comment
- Yeah, people used to gladly take care of one another. Today there's way too much of that F_U attitude. We see it on this site all the time. "I want everyone to have the best health care available... as long as it cost me nothing." It's a shame we can't sort out those who constantly whine about paying taxes and give them what they want. No taxes, no schools, no roads to drive on, no help putting out the fire when their house burns down, no police protection.
The thing that bothers me the most about this health care debate is the mis-information that is being fed to those who can not or will not verify. They actually believe all the insurance company talking points. I'll swear, as I get older I'm starting to think people should have to take a quiz before they are allowed to vote. The headline on a London newspaper following the 2004 presidential election read: "Sixty-two million DUMB people! - Reply to this comment
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, lets just insure everyone in the US. Why not? It will be supplemented with tax dollars, so there is sure to be enough funding for everyone to have in Bam Bam's own words "health care as good as we have in the US Congress". I still can't believe no one called him on that one. If we just put all our health care dollars into one big pot, surely the healthy ones will be able to cover costs for the unhealthy. Even if ones poor health is self inflicted, we certainly can't expect someone to take care of themseles. And let's be sure to include everyone so the all the illegal alien invaders here now will be covered too. Plus we should make sure that they invite all their realitives to live here too by virture of chain migration. I mean, really, we all deserve really great healthcare so maybe we can expand the plan to include thye entire world. Uhhhh, NOT!

Now prove that Rowdy did not finish school? Prove that most Republicans did not finish school.
OK!!
by slownewsday_05 July 5, 2009 5:32 PM PDT
Rowdy's simply a caricature of the perfect brainwashed right-winger.
She never bothers to research ANYthing before she posts.
- tell again how the Declaration of Independence is IN the Constution...
- tell us again how we never killed millions of American Indians during the settling of this nation
- tell us again how Freedom of Speech can be applied to private entities...
- tell us again how Iraelis are a "superior race" to us
- tell us how there were more than 21 viable embryonic stem-cell lines available for government-research funding
ROFLMMFAO!!!!!
Is that what you call proof? Please, sorry I asked you to prove it, not listen to another democrat. But I can see you HAVE NO PROOF. ROTFLMAO!!! - Reply to this comment
- Way back when before the Great Depression, Doctors were paid in eggs, chickens, goats, fresh vegetables, milk, cream and services such as putting shoes on their horse or fixing their roof. They would in turn pass on a good laying hen or nanny goat to the new family that had just moved into the old johnson place. That new family would continue the "pay it forward" mode of living once they had established the farm. When a family lost a house or a barn to fire or mother nature, the neighbors came over and had a barn or house raising, when a spouse died, the neighbors helped with the kids and the crops. There was no need for Insurance for those things, they had neighbors. In the name of "advances" we lost "community". I cannot help but wonder if they didn't have it better than we do now.

Proclaims anything that allows her to screech with no knowledge to back it up.
Her own shadow probably makes her yell "commie!!"
Rowdy is the Chicken Little of CBS.
Slow,
What is the difference between the lying right and lying left?
Answer: Nothing. A lie is still a lie. And there are plenty of posters from the democratic side who post with out research. In fact Iam4honest, Lastdance, skyk, (just to name a few) all fit into that category - Reply to this comment

Iam4honesty:
YOU and elitist? Please. Your nothing of the sort. And for you to say something like "I am one of those you would probably call an elitist. I stayed in school. My studies at the university were Sociology, Psychology and Political Science. So maybe you can understand how some of the things that you and I were both taught in 'civics' class got pushed to the back a little."
Now prove that Rowdy did not finish school? Prove that most Republicans did not finish school. Come on, you got a big mouth and I am tired of you constant krap. You think you are so smart and you like to belittle those who are against you. So now lets see how smart you aren't. I have talked to College Professors that would disagree with you. So lets go, take your best shot, or are you going to cower down and not prove it. I mean you have done a good job now avoiding me. Come on, prove you are 4 honesty, lets see some honesty from you for once in your miserable life
Pithy little feller, aren't you? You sure can get a burr under your saddle. What made you such an angry little dude? Too early toilet training?
As I suspected. You have nothing to prove your point. All you do is talk about #s that you can't even back up. Poor Democrat, you must really want to hope that only 17% of Americans are Republicans. Come on Junior, time to wake up. Time to come to reality. Time to understand that only 63% of Americans approve of Obama. And 48% of those think he has not done anything yet - Reply to this comment
- What did the GOP do for eight years while health care costs continued to skyrocket? Nothing. What are their plans now? Nothing.

- If we nationalize health there won't be any insurance company's to get rid of middle management. You'll end up with another bloated government inefficient agency, overloaded with employee's that work about 1 hour out of 8 and can barely answer your questions.
