How so? Was it my never ending repuke thread, the constant reminders of my handicapp, being one the "top posters" every month or the partisan liberal rhetoric that gave me away....lmao

Youre not wrong...Thats Liberal logic for ya...Always somebody elses fault. A narcassist has a covert intolerance to criticism and other forms of narcassistic injury, and commonly hates with a pretense of love, constantly self deceiving with the intent of avoiding guilt..



Bingo!!! U give me hope weedwitch..youre a free thinker

Obamas a con artist and youre a partisan moron...thank God your stuck at home without any real power except for keyboard pecking..

Only a liberal democrat would come to the conclusion that obama gave us a "tax break" when IN REALITY the middle class saw no tax reduction and people making over 200,000(small business owners) get a fuckin hike...

Only a liberal dumbass would call that a "tax cut"...Im not so easily fooled

19.5 do you really expect a tax break on the middle class if Romney is elected?

Koch-funded climate scientist: I was wrong, humans are to blame

The founder and director of a climate change study project funded heavily by the Koch brothers, who last year reversed course and said he believed global warming was real, has gone one step further, writing in a weekend op-ed in the New York Times that he is now convinced the phenomenon is caused by humans.

In a piece titled, “The Conversion of a Climate-Change Skeptic,” Richard A. Muller, a University of California, Berkley physicist who founded the Berkley Earth Surface Temperature study (BEST) wrote that his, “total turnaround, in such a short time,” was driven by a new report from the group that concluded for the first time that global warming is a man-made problem. That revelation brings Muller essentially full circle from his stance a few years ago, when he criticized other global warming studies as flawed and questioned whether the Earth was even warming abnormally, dangerously fast at all.

Romney praises Israel’s health care system with individual mandate

Mitt Romney had kind words for Israel’s health care system Monday, even though, as ThinkProgress reports, it resembles the recently passed Affordable Health Care Act, which his party has been trying to repeal.

The presumptive Republican presidential candidate said he admired Israel for spending less of its gross domestic product on health than the U.S.

“You spend eight percent of G.D.P. on health care,” he said. “You’re a pretty healthy nation. We spend 18 percent of our G.D.P. on health care, 10 percentage points more.”

The country’s health-care system includes an individual mandate clause, requiring citizens to buy one of four HMOs offered by the government since 1995, with the state covering 60 percent of a person’s medical costs. The remaining 40 percent is covered by income-related tax collections.

Last month, The Jewish Daily Forward reported that Israel boasts an average life expectancy of 82 years, four years more than the U.S., with half the mortality rate due to heart disease.

“I think that America can learn a lot from the Israeli system,” said one Orly Manor, dean of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Braun School of Public Health. “The quality is high, and the outcomes are good.”

An individual mandate is at the heart of the ACA, which was recently upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. It was also a component of the health care system Romney implemented during his tenure as governor of Massachusetts.

McCain defends Palin pick: Cheney was wrong on torture too

Everyone is expressing hopes and goals, but I'm not seeing a lot of suggestions to resolve issues or reach those goals.

THe US has had more than two political parties in it's past, and there's nothing to prevent that in the future. I believe the level of frustration with the current Parties is higher than it was during the Ross Perot effort a few decades ago, so a third Party candidate would certainly shake up the system and get most politicos to take note. But if someone is going to try that this year, they need to step up quick.

But, if a third Party is to become more than a footnote in History, it needs to elect Candidates at all elected levels (Local, State and Federal) and build a foundation for the future. This is a long term process and not something that is easily supported by a single personality (although Palin would make it interesting if she jumped in).

I believe the latest data shows that a majority of Americans are registered as independants, and not as a member of a political party. Most States have removed the requirement that you have a Party affiliation before you can vote in a Primary, so a major reason to declare your preference has been removed. This is also shown in many of the National Polls, which indicate there's a large percentage of people still undecided and who probably won't make up their minds until mid-October.

As the climate becomes more negative and derogetory, I suspect many will simply opt to not vote at all. And there a distinct possibility that we could have a half-dozen close races like Florida in 2008, which will make for a long night and perhaps legal action to follow.

Now this cracked me up:

Jon Stewart hammers Romney over ‘you didn’t build that’ quote


On his show Wednesday night, Jon Stewart wondered if conservatives could be any more manipulative in their misrepresentation of words spoken by President Barack Obama.

“Mr. Romney, hanging your attack on a person’s slight grammatical misstep is what people do in an argument when they’re completely fucked and they know they have no argument,” he said.

During a recent speech, the President said: “Let me tell you something: If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

Romney and other conservatives have asserted that Obama was referring to businesses when he said “you didn’t build that.” However, the President’s full speech makes it clear that he was referring to American infrastructure — roads and bridges. Obama continued, saying “the point is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.”

“Here’s a tip: when someone says, ‘the point is,’ the next thing they say usually nine times out of 10 is the point.But I see what happened here. By using the phrase ‘you didn’t build that,’ you create confusion by using the demonstrative single pronoun instead of the plural ‘those,’ which of course was referring to the antecedent roads and bridges,” Stewart explained, before his own underpants gave him a wedgie.

Stewart said the difference between Obama and Romney was a matter of degrees, not a matter of “fundamental diametrically opposed world views.” He illustrated the point by showing a mash up of two speeches by Obama and Romney, in which they said essentially the exact same thing about businesses relying on public and private investments for their success.
