McConnell Proposes Stupid Deal, Says “I Refuse To Help Obama Get Re-Elected” - story
Apparently, Republicans can’t put our economic best interest ahead of petty politics. And so we’re all going to hell in Mitch McConnell’s handbasket.
Republicans Whimper About Democrats’ “Scare Tactics” – story
It’s pretty hard to try and claim the high road when your party rolled out Willie Horton, WMDs and death panels. Just sayin’…
Michelle Obama Eats A Burger - is it even fair to call this a “story”
Newsflash: The First Lady is a normal human being! She’s never said don’t eat any junk food — just not only junk food — which is no different than George H.W. Bush advocating the food pyramid and the Presidential Fitness Council, headed by Arnold Schwarzeneggers. Yet somehow, conservatives who want to tell Americans when they can and cannot start a family think nutrition programs are an intrusion!?!

The Tea Party candidates run on fear. They say LESS government and then want to legislate everything that doesn’t fit into their pseudo Christian ideals. That sounds like more government to me. What they are really saying is, “sell the country to big business!” Let big business do what they want without government intrusion. Meanwhile, stop the little guy from being free by legislating him to death. Bachmann may be crazy, but she has a plan. A scheming, self-serving plan!
Business has helped the economy and doesn’t trust what the Holy Obanana and his cronies are trying to sell. States received billions in cash to help their staes. But, they have to pay the cash back. Businesses aren’t going to expand or hire with the way this Prez is spending money. This Country can’t go on running the money presses without repercustions. We already owe China billions of dollars that we will have to pay back. There is nowhere in the Constitution that advocates ‘sharing the wealth.’ We are turning into a Nanny-State, and the American dream is being replaced with the goal of working the rest of your life. Businesses are forced, by the States, to pay back their revenues to help the State pay back the money. Here in S.C. businesses also are paying higher insurance fees for Workmans Compensation. All this money Thats been spent thus far could’ve been better spent on Social Seurity and Medicare. I didn’t vote for him, don’t trust him, and he’s slowly leading the Country into SOCIALISM. And, to BOOSWACK, this Country was founded on Religion. And yes, the GOVERNMENT has gotten bigger! We’ve sold our Country to China. It isn’t going to be long before they call-in the debt. OBANANA, still hasn’t allowed off-shore drilling in the gulf, allowed oil companies to build refineries. The GREEN JOBS he promised-went over-seas. We need less Government. Whether you want to believe it or not-Government has already started telling “WE the PEOPLE” what can and can’t do. Our debt limit is still clicking and getting bigger. We aren’t assured that our children will have an American Dream. I could care less about OBANANA getting re-elected. How the other Dems; such as Pelosi, Reid, and the rest got re-elected is beyond me!!! He will not get my vote. He’s done proved that he’s worser than Jimmy ‘the Peanut Man’ Carter!!! And, Slick Bill Clinton.
