“i dont know who started this petition, but it's so sad that these people would want to ruin a children show by introducing marriage and sexual orientation....either straight or gay.
this shows are meant for childrens to learn basic skills not to learn about someones 'bed habbits'.
“i wonder what would the tpubs say if a dem came out with an idea that said
lower taxes on the rich and corporations
find more loopholes and leave them available in the tax code
&
add more subsidies to big oil and for other giant lobbyist
how would they rebuttle that one? they would start all huffing and puffing and then say "wait a minute, that's a great idea, nothing wrong with this bill, yay"!”
“Oh, I think this will work. Let me just say a little about Rachel's plan. She had letters from Congressmen wanting funds for specific projects in their districts. These were Republicans asking for the money. The concept is give them the money. How can they not do it when they asked for the money? Chris' plan is to take pictures of bridges falling apart and have the government say they are going to fix the bridge. His theory is how can a Repub say no, they want the bridge to stay the way it is in his district/state. Obviously. these are just examples.”
“she's just a media bug...she loooves the attention. get over it woman, you just cant suddenly jump in and say 'im in'! actually you'll do the democrats a favor if at the end the tpubs have palin and bachman as their only options to run as pres.”
“i am also disappointed, he's bent over backwards too much for the tpubs and forgotten those that wanted hope and change....
then they dont do a good job of calling out the tpubs on their crazy sheets and lies which ends up making the tpubs good at the end. I for one thought he had the right inside the looney bin on this debt debate but at the end they kicked the door open and threw obama in there and the tpubs walked out.
but im not only disappointed in obama cause he cant do everything himself, he needs help from his side and the other side(s), we need rational, logical thinking people to lead this country. insetad we get extremist with no rational or logical thinking capabilities that want to bring down this country to its knees.
so yeah, I am disappointed with our entire government. you guys are more broken than broke!”
“so now obama has to meet with s&p to make you happy, another excuse to belittle the president.
how about you would have taken the same stance with the United States as you did with your state of Mass? Instead you took the low road, the stone throwing, finger pointing, negative commenting way, no--no-no solution.
“"Obama's policies have "so frightened the private sector" that employers are avoiding the risk of expansion."
this is all we hear from the right regarding jobs and obama yet they never say what policies they talk about, they sometimes throw in the cost of obamacare to the employers.
is this true? partially true? not true? what policies do they talk about. I doubt that's the problem with employers, the job creators are just loving their extra cash sitting in their bank accounts, squeeze their employees and refuse to hire more.”

“In Germany, Europe's strongest economy, they get companies to start hiring again...
do you know how?
The German goverment started PAYING companies off to get them to start hiring.
Now that's called being proactive. It's hard to imagine ANY American politician proposing such an idea because there's always some clown who can't wait to yell "COMMUNIST," but the policy WORKED in Germany.
Sometimes letting the "free market" repair itself as government steps out of the way just isn't the best policy.
Market dynamics are like water sometimes:
They go downhill and follow the path of least resistance.
So if sitting on your money and not hiring is the easiest thing to do, you'll do that unless you have some outside incentive to do otherwise.”
“Of COURSE it's NOT TRUE. Republicans in Congress AND Republican presidential candidates are ALL liars. They NEVER "say what policies they talk about" because they are lying, and because they NEVER HAVE ANY POLICIES themselves.
You can't FAIL TO NOTICE that the only campaign strategy for ALL OF THEM is to tell lies on the President -- NEVER, NEVER offer ANY SOLUTIONS themselves.”
“that's just great, so instead of a bunch of e-diots having to argue about this issue we will only have 12.....and 6 of them hardened by a b|00d oath of not raising taxes.”
“Try the American people. Refreshing isn't it? Can you show me one other candidate who is willing to put you first and the others last? They have no idea of what is about to hit them. Its the sucker punch they didn't see coming. Never underestimate the silent ones. I am not backing big oil, pharma, or wallstreet. No, I won't abuse the american people that way. you deserve way better.”
“This is the type of info that has to be plastered on news and print everywhere so that the tpub zombies can see the truth about those that spew the same anti govmnt sound bites.”
“it's only a matter of time until online video will be more expensive than cable tv.
the isp's know this, and they started their tactic of tiering services with gb caps....so if you go over because you watch too much hulu or neflix you'll pay the premium.
then the cable/sat companies will start buying online video services and monopolizing the industry.
so soon, the customers will lose again and the corporations will win. there's no way out.”
