Bricks And Stones MAY Break Their Bones If Dems Continue SpeFollow

It's not just cuz he's black, but because he's black, smarter-than-the-average-Moe, Muslim...oh and a Democrat.

You're right. Any 3rd grade reader could look at the language and tell you they were wrong.

SCOTUS justices have no sense of humor. I'd be a bad choice.

Order or precedence:

Constitution > Statutes & Treaties > Exec orders.

The exec order was more or less good gamesmanship.

I've been trying to listen to this interview with Mark Potok, the editor of the investigative journal Intelligence Report. It's about the recent violence. It's 37 minutes long - I keep getting interrupted.

Disclaimer: This guy has a strong liberal-left accent;)

Lol! I love this one:



Can the liberal talking heads please stop with the "It's all just racists who don't like a black president" garbage?

Earth to idiots! They don't like the legislation. They would be just as angry regardless of who was sitting in the oval office and it's insulting to the nations intelligence to continue to try to dismiss a large number of people's disagreements with policy on this ridiculous strawman.


And Omega? People did not oppose the Dems health care plans because Obama is black. They opposed it (and still oppose it) because it was and is a bad way to address health care.

Also... Neither Obama nor the majority in Congress were elected to pass this health care bill. The primary issues that gave them this power had absolutely nothing at all to do with health care. You'd think someone might take note of the fact that they ran on a platform of closing Gitmo (which they haven't done), changing our policy on the war on terror (which they haven't done), ending various surveillance programs associated with said war (which they haven't done), fixing the economy (which they haven't done), and decreasing the deficit(s) (which they haven't done).

Heck. About the only major thing that Obama has actually done which he promised to do was to talk to our enemies. Yay Obama! Er... Yeah...

I think you must be quoting something else, because I failed to see anything about race or racists in those sentences.

WTF? Was this a joke? Are you so ignorant of US politics that you didn't know that health care has been a central tenet of the Democratic platform since... well, basically the last 70-odd years? Did you miss the health care plan debates between Clinton/Obama and then Obama/McCain? Obama ran saying he'd enact a health care plan really pretty close to the one that passed (ability to buy into plans like the FEHP).


Getting there. Obama has set down a plan for it and, although hung up on logistics, you'd be a fool to deny that he's attempting to do exactly that. Setting up arrangements with other nations for releases, making arrangements to purchase Thomson prison for the ones we gotta keep, etc.


Hahahaha... aside from Iraqi draw-downs, a build up in Afghanistan (as he said he'd do), getting Pakistan to do something besides take bags of our cash as they give nuclear secrets to Iran and engaging in a hunt for Al'Qaeda leadership that's been far more successful than anything under Bush (to the point where you have conservative pundits whining that we're killing too many leaders with successful drone strikes)? Besides that?


Eh, I'll actually give you partial credit on this one. The Senate got filibustered out of amending the Patriot Act in Feb before its one year extension but Obama could be doing more to push the issue.


Workin' on it. Sorry there's no magic fix.


He passed a health care bill scored by the CBO to reduce the deficit by $940 billion over ten years. See? He got a 2-fer out of that one!

Really now. Obviously you don't like our Commander-in-Chief but are you so desperate to make him look bad that you'd make yourself look like an idiot who hasn't read a newspaper in the last 14 months?

Clinton (as in Hillary R.) wanted a full public option. Obama said that a full public option probably wasn't workable at this time but wanted to allow Americans to buy into the same sort of federally administered exchanges that federal employees (including members of Congress) can tap into. Clinton would accuse Obama of doing it half-assed and Obama would accuse Clinton (in so many words) of pollyanna dreaming if she thought she was going to go full bore public option.

Edited to add that a brief survey of fall 2008 polling on PollingReport.com shows that "health care" typically came in third when people were asked which issues were most important to them leading up to the election. Economy (jobs) was the #1 issue by a large margin, Iraq was #2 and HC #3 (both about equal). Certainly higher than "surveillance" or "closing Gitmo" or even the "terrorism" category. Also higher than "government spending".

Oops, itchy trigger finger. My mistake.
