Liberals Win Again!

[Freewill]

Liberals win like children win.

Incessant crying until they get their way, right or wrong. I am sure the petulant child feels perfectly justified when they get their way. Just wear down the opposition, right/wrong, good/bad doesn't matter all that matters is winning. Love legislature that forces people to do what they don't want to do, UNTIL that legislature goes against the liberal ideology then the crying really begins.

The one crying in the case was Pence, who got spanked and sent to the corner.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel...

when it comes to shooting fish in a barrel, you leftards make it so easy for us on the right , you all try to swim at the surface.

 

[Synthaholic]

Yes, Synthaholic, you're right.. Liberals win again.

It's what happens when more Conservative folk elect Gutless, Nutless Wonders, who are all talk and no action.

Live and learn.

This isn't the end.

Just the beginning.

No, it's the end.

Conservatism is dying.

Then why are so many winning in many countries?
Including here.

They are winning here because of Gerrymandered districts.

Are you so unaware of that fact, or are you going to plunge into denialism once again?

 

[Synthaholic]

It's another indication that the United States Of America is getting more Progressive every day. People are starting to wake up and discard stifling Conservative dogma and are embracing real freedom - the freedom to live your life without discrimination or being treated less in the Government's eyes and laws.

Liberals win again.

Not when this President calls conservatives the enemy.

Are they not his enemy? Don't Conservatives constantly speak about the President as if he is their enemy?

 

[Synthaholic]

"We reserve the right not to serve faggots"

That is a violation of the laws we already have.

Thats why Republicans need to pass more

<wink> <wink> Just tell em Jesus is telling you to hate fags

If it wasn't for the left making laws that discriminate against Christians, they would not have to pass these laws in the first place.

Jesus and Christians hates the sin not the sinners.

Well, the amended law does just the opposite of what they wanted. There's irony for ya.

Only because the left is making a big stink over it.

What you are saying is that the Left has so much clout they must be listened to.

Quite an admission from the "This is a conservative country" crowd.

On the Bush economy, you do recall that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi took over the Senate and House 6 years into the Bush presidency and controlled the purse strings from that time on. They did absolutely nothing in regards to the housing bubble, in fact they denied the existence until after it popped and in true Democrat fashion, blamed Bush even though he warned them repeatedly. They could have cut funding for the wars then and didn't. The wars continued under the Nancy/Reid/Obama regimes and I doubt the cost was even close to 9 trillion in the years Republicans actually controlled spending. I suspect maybe a trillion tops

That's novel....blaming Reid and Pelosi for Bush's spending. Always spinning...that's what conservatives do best. Maybe you buy that crap, but I don't. And yeah, like it's so easy to just cut funding for the wars....just leave our men and women stranded out there....now that's another novel idea.

During his eight years in office, President Bush oversaw a large increase in government spending. In fact, President Bush increased government spending more than any of the six presidents preceding him, including LBJ. In his last term in office, President Bush increased discretionary outlays by an estimated 48.6 percent.

During his eight years in office, President Bush spent almost twice as much as his predecessor, President Clinton. Adjusted for inflation, in eight years, President Clinton increased the federal budget by 12.5 percent. In eight years, President Bush increased it by a whopping 53 percent.

Have you seen this video and are you willing to re-think your myopic view?

You do realize that your video is dated Feb 1998? Yes Iraq was a threat at one time, but not when Bush came on the scene. It has been exposed and known now for years, there were no WMDs, but Bush pushed for war anyway.... your attempts at putting this on the left is lame. Try something else.


The Bush administration exerted significant pressure on the intelligence community to provide justification for the Iraq War. According to John Brennan, who was Deputy Director of the CIA at the time, “we were being asked to do things and to make sure that that justification was out there.”

“At the time there were a lot of concerns that it was being politicized by certain individuals within the administration that wanted to get that intelligence base that would justify going forward with the war,” Brennan told PBS. When asked who was exerting this pressure, Brennan said “Some of the neocons” in the administration “were determined to make sure that the intelligence was going to support the ultimate decision.”

Republicans controlled the House and Senate 6 yrs. of the Clinton Presidency. They deserve 66.6% of the (political credit) for a booming economy..they controlled the purse strings

Bush started with a light recession, 9/11 happened and most Americans wanted some butt kicking including most Democrats, beefed up national security was necessary, Clinton had devastated the military and new equipment, weapons and supplies had to be acquired. Bush's Medicare part D certainly wasn't cheap and no doubt Republicans way overspent but compared to the Obama years, a drop in the bucket.

Gads Woman, the video was made in 1998 and used recorded video's of Democratic leaders pre-Iraqi War...

Saying "Bush encouraged the housing bubble" is just plain stupid .. get real.

The housing bible was clintons, Dodd, and franks faults libs like to deny that truth.

False. If it was true you would be able to cite the laws that Dodd and Frank passed in the Senate and House. But you can't, because they didn't.

Then why not just let gays marry the person they love and let God worry about it?

That is what the majority of the nation is saying.
Just don't force all the Churches, florists and bakers against their religious ideologies like they are doing now.

Can I ask?

In the grand scope of things, can't we worry about more important things than the delicate sensibilities of florists and bakers?

Oh the horror......I have to drop flowers off at a GAY wedding

What will people think?

Nice to see you trivialize the rights of an opposite opinion and don't care about their 1st amendment rights.
There needs to be a balance for both of their rights.
I don't know why anyone would support some of these people, who wants to shut theses businesses down or wants to burn them down.

Actually it is both trivial and offensive

If the Christianity of these bakers or florists is so strong that they can't even drop off a cake or flowers to a gay wedding......show me where their heartfelt religion prevents them for doing the same for weddings with a pregnant bride, divorced couples remarrying, atheists or adulterers

It is pure hypocrisy

It's hyped up bull from the left over a Pizza joint.
Who ever heard of someone wanting Pizza Catered at their wedding?
The question posed to that woman was a set up, to get the people all worked up over a stupid hypothetical question and the activists played right into their hands.

Actually, it's the Right-Wing who are using these pizza people. And you fools are showering these people with money enough for them to retire on - they play you for the fools that you are.

It was the Dem's that blocked in the Housing and Banking committee what Bush wanted, which was a new Agency to oversee Fannie and Freddie Mac. It was found during the Enron scandal that Freddie Mac was doing illegal trading and Barney Frank said that there was no evidence. He lied.
New Agency Proposed to Oversee Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae - NYTimes.com
The SEC issued Litigation Release No. 20304 on Sept. 27. The SEC alleges that the corporation engaged in an accounting fraud from 2000 to 2002. The manipulation of earnings occurred by incorrectly accounting for various derivative instruments of the firm as well as manipulating the accounting for loan origination costs and reserves for losses. Freddie Mac will pay a $50 million fine. The four executives who conceived and executed this fraud were also punished. Their fines ranged from $65,000 to $250,000; they paid out disgorgement amounts that ranged from $29,227 to $150,000. More details are laid out in the SEC complaint in this matter.

The fascinating thing about this accounting scandal is that it involved the understating of net income. In particular, the SEC contrasts the reported income with the restated net income (in billions of dollars)

Liberals win again.

What exactly did Democrats win, a review of legislation? That doesn't seem like much of a win at all but is certainly the right and proper process to take.

Need I remind you of Obamacare passing without any review by Democrats in Congress what-so-ever.

Does .... we have to pass it to find out what's in it sound familiar?

Wow, such desparation for a minor, phony and laughable win.

keep it up, I'm totally impressed...

Incessant crying until they get their way, right or wrong. I am sure the petulant child feels perfectly justified when they get their way. Just wear down the opposition, right/wrong, good/bad doesn't matter all that matters is winning. Love legislature that forces people to do what they don't want to do, UNTIL that legislature goes against the liberal ideology then the crying really begins.

Seems to me the right-wing is the one that is crying/whining.....otherwise they wouldn't have come up with their egregious legislation that the rest of the country is against. You're just butt hurt because your party hasn't been able to get their way....they are always on the wrong side of the majority of Americans. They were going to shut down the government unless Obama gave in to their demands on immigration, and not pay DHS, and they ended up having to fold because they were the minority.

Quit crying and and saying we're the ones that are crying.....makes you look more like the petulant child you talk about.

The SEC issued Litigation Release No. 20304 on Sept. 27. The SEC alleges that the corporation engaged in an accounting fraud from 2000 to 2002. The manipulation of earnings occurred by incorrectly accounting for various derivative instruments of the firm as well as manipulating the accounting for loan origination costs and reserves for losses. Freddie Mac will pay a $50 million fine. The four executives who conceived and executed this fraud were also punished. Their fines ranged from $65,000 to $250,000; they paid out disgorgement amounts that ranged from $29,227 to $150,000. More details are laid out in the SEC complaint in this matter.

The fascinating thing about this accounting scandal is that it involved the understating of net income. In particular, the SEC contrasts the reported income with the restated net income (in billions of dollars)

The truth of the matter is that both parties played a part. Bush was President at the time, and just like Republicans want to blame Obama for everything that he presides over, regardless of whether it was started under Bush, like the Iraq War......then Bush must take responsibility for things under his presidency. It doesn't matter if the Democrats had control of Congress......just like now, Republicans have control of Congress and they can't get shit passed. So, according to fact check......both parties are to blame, just deal with it.

Who Caused the Economic Crisis

Ultra-Conservative Senator/Governor Mike Pence has changed his position.

Southern Conservative Senator/Governor Asa Huchinson is calling for a re-write before he signs it, making clear there will be no discrimination, and pointing out that the Federal law will be his guidepost, not a 'States Rights' position.

Liberals win again.

What exactly did Democrats win, a review of legislation? That doesn't seem like much of a win at all but is certainly the right and proper process to take.

Need I remind you of Obamacare passing without any review by Democrats in Congress what-so-ever.

Does .... we have to pass it to find out what's in it sound familiar?

Wow, such desparation for a minor, phony and laughable win.

keep it up, I'm totally impressed...

Obamacare was thoroughly reviewed and passed with sixty percent of the vote and approved by the Supreme Court
