The Sad, Bitter Truth About Tea Baggers...

[uscitizen]

While the United States is still debating whether to build a more efficient kind of coal-fired power plant that uses extremely hot steam, China has begun building such plants at a rate of one a month.

The latest power plant they wanted to build in KY was a plant fired by garbage pellets imported from NJ. Doesn't KY have enough garbage?

Bush was elected using the same system as the 42 Presidents before him.

Indeed.

Q: Which Presidents lost the popular vote but still became President?
A: There have been four cases of this happening thus far. In 1824, John Quincy Adams was awarded the presidency by the House of Representatives, despite not having won the popular vote or the electoral college vote (neither he nor opponent Andrew Jackson had an electoral college majority). In 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes became President despite losing the popular vote to Samuel J. Tilden, because Hayes had a one vote advantage in the electoral college. In 1888, in a much more clear-cut example of a candidate losing the popular vote but winning the electoral college vote, Benjamin Harrison was elected President over Grover Cleveland. Finally, in 2000, George W. Bush became president after losing the popular vote to Al Gore, but winning the electoral vote. For more information on how the electoral college works, see the U.S. Electoral College homepage, administered by the National Archives and Records Administration: U.S. Electoral College (NARA | Federal Register | U.S. Electoral College). U. S. Electoral College FAQs

And none of that changes the fact that Bush became the president AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE which the CON$ are now hypocritically saying THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE is SUDDENLY so important with Obama when it was and still is totally meaningless with Bush.

It has nothing to do with the Electoral College and everything to do with the sudden relevance of THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE to CON$.
Get it?

China puts a Coal fired power plant online every other week. Obama is standing on the throats of the coal industry.

CON$ love the ChiComs better than the USA. Why don't you CON$ move to China?

What Obama said was the clean coal technology developed here could be leased to your precious China.

The Department of Energy is not run by people who have created energy. Just people who study things and sue people.

So THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE must Constitutionally override the Electoral College for the current CON$ervoFascist rationalization against Obama to be valid.
Get it now???

Keep trying to change the subject away from the hypocrisy of CON$ accusing Obama of governing AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE when they had no problem with bush governing AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. No one will ever notice.

No, I'm showing how every rationalization CON$ use against Dems is suddenly invalid when applied exactly the same way to the GOP.

More than 50 million Americans today are collecting welfare from either the state or federal governments that have to borrow money to fund their defecit spending. It's an absolutely stunning and disgraceful statistic that explains why the U. S. is hurtling towards bankruptcy. This agitated rat who works for Rolling Stone tries to ridicule the Americans who want to restore sanity by voting out the wackjob liberal pols who got us into this mess. The sad bitter truth is that unless the Tea Party succeeds in ousting repulsives like Pelosi and Reed, and thwarting the moochers who vote them into office, America will be bled dry within a decade.

What's more "stunning and disgraceful" are Wall Street bankers who blow a $12 trillion hole in our economy due to reckless gambling in the derivatives market. You tea bagger fuckholes love government deregulation and the "free market" and you saw the ugly result in the fall of 2008.

I'm sorry...you don't have the foggiest clue what I'm talking about because you are an unsophisticated tea bagger idiot simpleton. My bad.

That is because Bush didn't govern against the will of the people. He had the support of the people when we went into both wars.

Obama has pushed for a Stimulus Bill, and a Health care bill that were Both wildly unpopular with the people, and he Sued Arizona when 70% of Americans were against it.

Your caparison is just plain wrong.

What "support" Bush had he got by lying his CON$ervoFascist ass off. Once the American people figured out what a lying POS he is the support for the Iraq war dropped to 38%.

Embryonic stem cell research has had strong 60+% support by the American people but Bush used his veto pen for the first time to veto H.R. 810, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005. It was passed by the Republican-led House in May 2005 by a vote of 238 to 194. The Senate passed the bill in July 2006 by a bipartisan vote of 63 to 37.

President Bush opposed embryonic stem cell research on ideological grounds. He exercised his first presidential veto on July 19, 2006 when he refused to allow H.R. 810 to become law. Congress was unable to muster enough votes to override the veto.

In April 2007, the Democratic-led Senate passed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007 by a vote of 63 to 34. In June 2007, the House passed the legislation by a vote of 247 to 176.

President Bush vetoed the bill on June 20, 2007.

That's governing AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE no matter how you spin it.

Just in case any of you are truly interested in the real facts about welfare?

WASHINGTON — Welfare rolls rose in 2009 for the first time in 15 years, but the 5% increase was dwarfed by spikes in the number of people receiving food stamps and unemployment insurance.

The cash-assistance program that once helped more than 14 million people served an average of 4 million in the 2009 fiscal year, up from 3.8 million in fiscal 2008. By comparison, there were more than 37 million people receiving food stamps in September, an increase of 18% from the year before. The number receiving unemployment benefits more than doubled, to about 9.1 million.

source

To recap:

There's about 4 million people on welfare. (that's about 1.3% total population)

There's currently about 37 million people are on foodstamps. (that's about 12% of the population).

The point is that all of these people are on the dole and being paid to vote Democrat. This has to stop or America is toast.

The class system in the US is a fabrication of parasitic progressives.

Have you ever noticed how the only people fighting the class war have no class?
