Frank Smith - I agree

Some Dems have been involved in criminal behavior, yes


The Entire Republican Party IS an Organized Criminal Racket all about siphoning money off you and me to line their pockets and turn America into wage slaves

Have you ever read what they want to do?
You should check it out
Eliminate the ACA
Eliminate SS
Eliminate Medicare
Eliminate Public schools, the EPA, The CDC,

They want everything you don't want, they just never tell you that, all they will tell you is how bad the Dems are,
It's all part of using the media as propaganda.

 I'm likening this discussion to how Harris sees Islam... Republicans are the Motherload Of Bad Ideas!

Hahhahahha

Repubs want to get rid of the CDC... possibly the only people smart enough to help with infected people... But that never touches the upper 1%... so we can get rid of that stuff after all...

Greatest Country In The World!

I know I'm not supposed to be bigoted... but much like my acceptance of Islam even with its bombing few... I also feel I can't call all repubs infected just because I feel that most are against humans,for corporations and money more than anything else.



I wonder if republicans are in charge over at the red cross, now that I see stories of it has been administered...

This reminds me of republican efforts to help the people...

"Since we can't help people in this country, how can we make people 'think' that we help people", without ever actually helping people...

To me, that is the republican party

Millions have lost their house, their job, their health and Thousands have died all because of Republican Policies

In an alternate universe, perhaps. Republicans tried to correct the policies leading to the housing bubble that inevitably burst, but Democrats, with, ironically, Mssrs. Dodd and Frank leading the charge, prevented the needed action. Now their eponymous, nefarious, Act adds cost and no benefit to the banking system.

Yes, we could have had millions of good paying jobs. The funny thing is, we still have millions of good paying jobs. The question is how many more millions of good paying jobs we would have had if the Democrats' policies had not given us the weakest recovery of any post-war recession.

Meanwhile, the Democrats pretend that their actions didn't happen, and that the world is flat. Examples: (1) Hillary Clinton saying businesses don't create jobs, or that policies that enable businesses to employ more people constitute "trickle-down economics;" (2) Democrats running for Senate who won't mention Obama by name or say whether they voted for him; (3) Democrats alleging that they want to fix the ACA, but who allow Harry Reid to prevent any votes on any legislation that would do so; etc., etc.

But I digress, since facts have no place in the Democrats' discussion of their perceived reality. And besides, with a little "recalibration," they can change Republican votes to votes for Democrats.

The appropriate response is contained in the very same paragraph.

Oh sketch,

Please refresh my memory:
Who controlled the house house then?
Who controlled the Supreme Court?
Who controlled the senate then?
Who was our president?

Compared to now:
How many times did the dems threaten to filibuster legislation or appointments they disliked?
How many bills were passed?
Hoe many times did the dems threaten to shutdown the government when they did not get their way? Or seriously threaten to default?

I think you aspire to be a dickhead, but you aren't bright enough to pull it off. Keep trying...

"House house then"? Derp.

All those questions... what time period are you talking about?

"Now"?

Again, what are you talking about?

Nice finish... calling me dickhead and an idiot.

You can't seem to compose a coherent post, but you're quick with the lame name-calling.

Perhaps that last part... about being dickhead, but not bright enough was more about your insecurities, than anything else.


LOL, poor little butthurt sketch. Picks apart an iPhone related typo instead of refuting the points. But, that's what little people do.

Keep trying, and maybe someday you'll fulfill your aspiration.

Stock market up again today to near record territory.

Most all U.S. economic news is good.

From Bloomberg News: http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/us-economy-up-35percent-in-3rd-quarter-capping-best-6-months-in-over-a-decade/ar-BBc2vQU


The economy in the U.S. expanded more than forecast in the third quarter, capping its strongest six months in more than a decade, as gains in government spending and a shrinking trade deficit made up for a slowdown in household purchases.

Gross domestic product grew at a 3.5 percent annualized rate in the three months ended September after a 4.6 percent gain in the second quarter, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. It marked the strongest back-to-back readings since the last six months of 2003.

Growing oil production is limiting imports and contributing to a pickup in manufacturing, allowing the economy to overcome slowing growth in overseas markets from Europe to China. At the same time, job gains and cheaper gasoline are giving American consumers the confidence and the means to spend, brightening the outlook for the holiday-shopping season and helping explain why the Federal Reserve ended its bond-buying program yesterday.

Improving consumer sentiment may help lift the biggest part of the economy this quarter. Confidence this month jumped to a seven-year high, according to figures from the Conference Board.

What economy are you folks whinning about? The one you see on Fox News or the real one?

Yep, everything is pretty good right now except employee wages...they haven't moved much at all.

Evidence that in spite of the obvious Obama economic policy successes, and record profits everywhere in the corporate sectors, they haven't allowed this to 'trickle down' to the those who are actually doing the work.

Still, this kind of corporate selfishness is Obama's fault.

Sketch, as part of the self-appointed ST grammar nazis, I can tell you that going after anyone here for spelling, syntax, grammar, etc. glitches is a fool's errand. Just stick to simple name calling. It's much more effective.

(1) Hillary Clinton saying businesses don't create jobs, or that policies that enable businesses to employ more people constitute "trickle-down economics;"

 Wasn't this desperate back when it was first rolled out?

Do you have any evidence that this myth (IMO) has worked? Or is this just how the system works as you see it?

Or was it the case that since reagen we've seen only the benefits of this myth when the republicans were in office...?

Elizabeth Warren: Not running, still vexing Hillary Clinton

http://www.politico.com/story/2014/10/elizabeth-warren-not-running-still-vexing-hillary-clinton-112330.html?cmpid=sf

"The side-by-side appearance was a reminder that Clinton is still learning the language of the new economic populism, which formed in the shadow of the 2008 financial crisis during a period when she was focused on foreign affairs. Her remarks — including a misdelivered line about businesses not creating jobs — added another scrap to the narrative pile that she is a reactive campaigner, who will bend if it’s politically expedient."

Care to refute my points, Butthurt?

oh come on, you knew that, or could have googled it, right?

Yeah, my bad, just got lazy and mis-remembered.
I remembered Scott Brown winning the Kennedy seat after campaigning on opposing the ACA. It was as close as it could be, but is now the law.

Frank, that is one long list of strawmen. The ACA was controversial, but the other programs were all bi-partisan programs supported by most of the country. No one I know or have heard of, other than fringe wackos, want to eliminate any but the ACA.
A famous pundit once said "He is an arsonist in a field of strawmen".

Anyhow, it doesn't appear that some minds are open to legitimate opposing views when their social policy beliefs take on a religious fervor that Jimmie Swaggart would blush at.

actually, the ACA was opposed but every single voting Republican in the US Congress,
the word controversial is quite benign as a description, they screamed their asses off that the new healthcare bill had Death Panels, would actually kill people, would be the Death of America, on and on

now Medicare and Social Security?

those programs now beloved by almost all Americans were created by Democrats, voted into law by Democratic majorities and signed into law by Democratic Presidents.

And make not mistake about this fact, that although yes a much smaller number of Republicans did vote for those programs, more of them voted against them, and the same language was used by Republicans in the era of their creation in addition to screaming how "Socialism" , shades of Hitler, the bankrupting of American, the Death of America the Repubs screamed back in the 30s and the 60s when SS and Medicare came into being by Democratic initiatives, my point is that using the word "bi partisan" to describe their support back then is, well, a very inaccurate description

Yeah. Now our heath care is nearly as good as Bolivia's

Give us another century and it might be as good as Cuba's.

And in another millennium it might approach the First World Nations.
