For Republicans, greed is good

[Listening]

Obama wants to pay for them with a teeny weeny temporary surtax on the billionaires who aren't buying enough yachts!!!!

The GOP want to pay for them by putting mor people out of work.

Be a true Patriot and get rid of the GOP in 2012.

Sorry, but the democrats have proven time and time again that no tax is temporary.

Kinda like they sold S.S. Look at the boat anchor it is now.

Be a true patriot and get rid of Obamacare.

It's pretty easy to see what's best for America.

Which is more important, that American children get an education, that our people get healthcare, that the roads and bridges get fixed, that advanced materials research be done, that the our military be supplied with the best equipment, that old people are taken care of, that the our debt be paid down, that food and water be safe, that our environment be clean, or that a billionaire buys a new yacht?

It's called the common good. It's something the the Greedy Old Peoples party doesn't understand.

Liberty and Freedom were never really high on the libeals list. This is very clear.

What is more important is that people get to make choices and not be robbed by the Obama Hood and his band of fat tax dodgers.

When you can define the common good in a way we can all agree...I'll listen. Until then it is nothing more than used toilet paper in print.

Freedom from what or for what?

The Freedom to kill people with guns?

The Freedom to run a $516 trillion dollar Ponzi scheme that destroys the world economy?

The Freedom to spill 2 million barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico?

The Freedom to die of cancer because you can't afford healthcare?

The Freedom to let old people die destitiute while others live in luxury?

The Freedom to hate you neighbor because they came to this country illegally for a better life?

The Freedom to hate your neighbor because of their sexual orientation?

The Freedom to tell women that they have to have a rapist's baby?

The Freedom to allow billionaire to pay taxes at a lower rate than the rest of us?

The Freedom to ignore Jesus' teachings because you are too greedy to share?

That's what you are asking for, my friend.

And it sucks.

Started a bit early huh?

You might make more sense.

I'm impressed that you can know what is in the minds and hearts of other people. That is not a skill I possess. Must be nice to know what's best for others.

You can't do all those things with $2.3 trillion a year?
You must be doing it wrong.

Kansas City proved you can give schools all the money you want and the kids will still come out dumb.

Schools are a big part of it. Parents even bigger.

How does the DOE deal with that ?

NCLB.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

best time to be in the top 10% was under Clinton, so is it his fault now?

take off your tin foil hat, and re-read this chart - you'll notice that rising incomes for the top 10% are correlated with lower unemployment for everyone else

Horseshit.

The rising incomes for the top 10% comes from the lowering of taxes for the rich.

And how is that unemployment thing working out now?

Unemployment? After Obama's magic stimulus? Preposterous!!!

Where are the JOBS?

Uhhhh...

There still coming.

We were not as shovel ready as we thought we were.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Horseshit.

The lesson of the Carter Presidency is don't restrict the money supply and don't let the country be dependent of foreign oil.

Three months after Reagan became president, the North Shore oil began to flow.

Ain't it great.

Now President Obama has us right back in the same hole.

Moron.

Not at all.

The economy is recovering.

Obama is the Democratic Reagan.

LOL! Obama is the black Jimmy Carter. Now with less leadership!!

China's Next Export:
Venture Capital​

"In April, Empower Micro Systems became one of the first tenants of InnoSpring, a new startup incubator in Santa Clara, Calif., backed largely by Chinese inve$tor$. Less than two weeks after Empower’s move-in date, InnoSpring helped the young company—which develops technology that converts electricity between AC and DC—set up meetings with 22 China-based venture capital firms in preparation for a trip to Shanghai in May. “To have that network working on our behalf is priceless,” says Jon Bonanno, Empower’s president.

As more U.S. tech startups see China as an essential place to do business, increasing numbers of Chinese investors are funding them and helping them expand to the mainland. Chinese venture capital firms backed 28 U.S. companies in 2011, nearly double the number two years earlier, according to Dow Jones VentureSource. China’s growing wealth and the government’s desire to attract tech companies have set the stage for more deals, says Gavin Ni, founder of Zero2IPO Group, which advises venture capitalists in China."

Are Republicans really naive enough to think that they can make war on women, Hispanics, blacks, alternate life styles, the poor, suppress voting rights, give massive tax breaks to robber barons while eliminating safety nets for the middle class and get absolutely no resistance?

Hey dumbass....

Remember when Romney was doing so bad with women.....

Mitt Romney’s women problem - The Washington Post

What happened ?


President Obama’s claim that the GOP is mounting a war on women has proven to be a failure. A month into his assault on the Republicans and Mitt Romney, the new CBS-New York Times poll shows that the GOP presidential candidate now leads among women--and men.

Since April, women have gone from strongly backing Obama to endorsing Romney. In April, Obama held a 49 percent to 43 percent lead among women. That has now flipped to 46 percent backing Romney with 44 percent for Obama, an 8-point switch.

Ironically, Romney’s support among men has dropped, but he still edges Obama 45 percent to 42 percent.

And here’s a surprise: Despite the media hyping the so-called war on women, no major outlet today noticed Romney’s new lead with women voters.

“This is unbelievable,” said conservative consultant Greg Mueller. “The CBS story manages to not mention the change in women numbers,” he said, adding sarcastically. “No media bias here -- Obama is getting fluffy stories about his commencement speech to women at Barnard -- so we better bury the reality.”

What is more funny is that Obama's sudden conversion to gay marriage is costing him amongst blacks and hispanics.

They don't have to vote for Romney...they just don't need to show up and that is going to go a long way in getting us the senate and more state houses.

Keep at it flapper lips.

You are a joke.

actually it is Democrats who declared war on America with a
depression that has left 25 million unemployed, many of whom are women, Hispanics, blacks, etc

What's wrong with making America a utopia?
You mean besides the fact it's a complete fantasy and totally unrealistic? looking at not just the history of our own government but also those from all over the world through the years I see nothing that suggest that any politicians or government are capable of creating a utopia.

 

[Misty]

What's wrong with making America a utopia?

It's better than the Republicans cheering the execution of prisoners or cheering the letting of sick people die because they don't have health insurance.

I have a hard time imagining a Democratic crowd cheering those two things.

One little itty bitty teeny tiny thing: it's not possible.

If it wasn't for that little itty bitty teeny tiny detail, then no problem.

It is possible.

Look how far we have come in the last 300 years.

Our "founding fathers" owned slaves.

These ones did not that's why they are my favorite;

- John Adams

- Sam Adams
- Alexander Hamilton

- Thomas Paine

But you do realize that the republican party was born as an anti slavery faction of the Whig party right?

 

[Misty]

Hey if it wasn't for greed we'd probably all be so bored we'd become terrorists. Lol

 

[Charles_Main]

For Republicans America is a platform for individual fulfillment. Here is the catch: the Individual is defined in the narrowest possible terms. Any notion of the "The Public Good" is seen as "Socialism" (socialism being anything the government does for the non-wealthy). The Free Market will fix New Orleans levees. The Free Market will effectively control the amount of derivative based risk Wall Street will take. The Free Market will get us off imported oil(rather than spending decades making terrorists stronger). The Free Market will keep our rivers clean. The Free Market will make healthcare more efficient. The Free Market won't bribe Washington in order to increase it's profit margin. We don't need to worry about "The Public Good", individual selfishness driven by short term profit is a utopian reflex.

But the world doesn't work that way. Selfishness harms society....tears it apart....destroys the world economy....spills millions of barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico.....tears a hole in the ozone...creates a garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean twice the size of Texas...melts the North Polar ice cap.....creates massive deficits by giving huge tax breaks for the wealthy....

But the Republicans celebrate this selfishness. It is their core value. For them greed is good.

GREED, the Desire to Be Rich, to never want for anything, to have it all. Built this FUCKING COUNTRY, you infantile Liberal FUCKING LOSER.

Anfd the ones that did set them free...and also the same ones responsible for the 3/5ths Compromise to make sure the Constitution became a reality and codified the Declaration.

 

[Clementine]

Liberals confuse greed and enjoying the fruits of one's own labor. Most people work hard and build a life for themselves, but the government is taking more and more from them to satisfy those who don't work. It's charitable to give to those who cannot help themselves, but simply being gullible giving to those who can.

The real greedy ones are those who want things, but don't go out and earn them. Living off others is greedy.
