Romney: Dump it on the States

[tinydancer]

Why is the default in any freaking argument with a liberal "slavery"?

Cause we're stupid and lazy.

What gets me is they don't see it's their OWN PARTY who is enslaving them today all in the name of caring for them

I'm afraid they (Democrats-liberals-Progressives) have succeeded in selling it

Also, we do crack. Which helps. Meth is good, but it makes me drink cheap beer.

Tombstones are also addictive. From whut I herd.

Yeah, taking power from Centralized Gov't in Washington and putting it back into the hands of people at the local level is a real nightmare for all you Communists (Liberal Democrats) out there.

Remember the immortal words of John Lennon who wrote:

"Power to the Government!
Power to the Government!
Power to the Government!
Power to the Government, Right On!"

What's wrong with a small effective central government? What's wrong with putting things back in working ordser? What's wrong with the OP?

I think States should have more responsibility when
it comes to budget.When an emergency occurs they can apply for
aid from the Federal government.Otherwise they are responsible to spend within their means.

State's rights is generally brought to you by the crowd that supports slavery.

i didn't realize there is a big pro-slavery group out there.

the things one learns reading the comics.

Well if you'd stop laying eggs and check out the word on the street..you might learn something.

Wages at McDonalds?

Who said slavery was dead.

 

[Sallow]

Wow Sallow, that's a truly ignorant statement. 150 years ago, it was STATES that nullified the federal government's law that required escaped slaves be returned to their owners in the South. Even after the Supreme Court upheld that law, it was STATES that said "no", we do not recognize this law as Constitutional and we nullify it. The Southern succession started after the they got sick and tired of Northern STATES nullifying laws the central government had created.

Today, those of us that value state's rights do so out of concern regarding the size of the federal government, their reach, and the debt they've accrued. We're certainly not in support of slavery, but I suspect you know that damn well.

A disturbingly dishonest post from you my man.

Not dishonest at all.

The south was never interested in ending slavery..that's a myth.

And in countries where you have the sort of "confederacy" you folks are looking for..you have a vast amount of injustice and corruption.

China is a good example. It isn't at "centralized" and laws vary from province to province. Alot of your quality of life depends on how much you can bribe officials. They have little or no oversight from the Central Government.

Who brought the south their slaves?



Sallow you sure you want to get into this?

Christians.

Oh yeah..slavery is okay in the bible.

 

[Sallow]

Why is the default in any freaking argument with a liberal "slavery"?

Why is the default conservative argument, "State's rights"?

Somehow, you think you can put that out there and divorce it from slavery.

THAT..was basically what "State's rights" was all about..originally.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Because they can't win on the merits of their ideas.

Let's see some proof of that claim.

More out of touch hogwash from Romney:

On Thursday, Mitt Romney unveiled the latest in a series of bad ideas for taking government duties out of Washington and hiding them in the back rooms of state capitols. Mostly, Mr. Romney wants to allow states to quietly smother social programs the federal government has run for decades. In the case of his new energy policy, he wants to give states power to bypass Washington’s caution in burrowing for oil, gas and coal on federal lands.

States, he said, could accelerate the permitting process for energy extraction, resulting in far more production than Washington has allowed. That’s probably true because many states have traditionally been poor stewards of their resources. They are far more captive than the federal government to the energy and timber interests that have long pressed for this concession and have far less oversight by government inspectors and journalists.

...

Mr. Romney has a long list of other core federal functions that he wants to dump onto the states. He has proposed offloading Medicaid and food stamps by writing a sharply reduced check to the states to take care of the health and nutrition needs of poor people. He wants to repeal health care reform and let the states design their own programs for the uninsured (or not).

He wants to turn over federal job-training programs to the states, let them design their own unemployment insurance programs and give them a bigger role in designing immigration controls. (Of course, he is strongly opposed to giving the states flexibility in their welfare programs, lest they give money to a low-income family that isn’t working up to Republican standards.)

Don’t be fooled by his claims that states can perform these vital functions “more efficiently” than Washington. They can’t. Battered by the downturn, states can barely perform the core functions they have. They have been laying off teachers and school personnel by the tens of thousands, cutting services to the poor past the bone and falling far behind on needed public works

The poor economy under O has stung many states. They have to make necessary cuts to balance their budget....something the feds never do anymore. But alas, I doubt that you understand any of that so I'll stop here.

It is the liberals who enslave people... that's what welfare amounts to.

Start there..

Take some notes.

Hit one of these..

Naw.

It's putting some context into the idiocy of conservative thinking.

Well, yea. It was the Northern states that nullified laws that required slaves to be returned to their owners in the South. The Northern STATES sure as hell were demonstrating their opposition to slavery by standing against the federal government's laws that supported slavery.

More importantly, to compare today's citizens that stand against our ever growing central government to a pro-slavery stance is disingenuous and disgusting.
