In Reply to: I heard their statements too and - I don't get it.

you remember? The ones Obama said he was gonna do away with. The pork barrel spending he said he was gonna do away with. The earmarks he said he would not allow!

All you O lovers remember that?

Believe me, you may be working your butts off..

but in the end it will pay off. You will live your American Dream and you will thrive. Most today want it all now, gimme gimme, gotta have it now, material things come first. DH and I are debt free but the house; do we want a new BMW or Escalade, you bet, can we afford it, you bet, do we have them, he!! no, our cars are a few years old and paid for and drive just like a new one. Do we have the latest, greatest electronics, no to that too, we don't have anyone we need to impress that much. However, we do have piece of mind that we have money in the bank, can take vacations, can pay whatever price gas is, pay cash for anything new we want and can go the mailbox or answer the phone and know there isn't a debt collector on the other end.


We have been in your shoes, working our tails off and it has paid off greatly for us. Sure, we struggled but now it's worth it. We did it without whining to the gov't for help, expecting some man speaking eloquent words at a podium to come to our rescue.


If men checking out women's butts ....
means they are not qualified to be President...take out the whole male race. Sheesh.

And you could have been a little less crude in your description.

Being led by his anatomy didn't seem to bother Clinton's ability to govern. Multiple affairs including one in the white house, but many Democrats think he was the second coming.

If Slick Willie could do it, I have no problem believing McCain could.

JFK had affairs. RFK had affairs. Why don't we just go down a tick list? Where was all the righteous indignation then?


That would be racist and we kiss the butts of

You really want to go down the lobbyist road?
can you say glass house?
Obama might not take lobbyist money...

but his VP certainly does.


 


Joe Biden’s lobbying ties



August 23, 2008


By Ed Morrissey 


HOT AIR - How thoroughly did Barack Obama vet Joe Biden?  After months of demonizing lobbyists, Obama selected a running mate who has taken millions in contributions from those same lobbyists Obama supposedly eschewed, at least until the DNC started running out of money.  In fact, Biden’s son works as a lobbyist on Capitol Hill, accruing the kind of earmarks that Obama has both decried and pursued:




Biden has accepted $5,133,072 in contributions from lawyers and lobbyists since 2003. Obama does not accept contributions from federally registered lobbyists.


And he has one other weakness that hasn’t received much attention to date. One of Biden’s sons, Hunter, is a registered Washington lobbyist in a year in which Obama has been excoriating lobbyists and the culture of corruption in Washington. The younger Biden is a name partner at the firm Oldaker, Biden & Belair, LLP, and seems to have specialized in lobbying for just the kind of earmark spending by Congress that Obama has vowed to slash.


Also expect to hear more about Biden’s close ties with credit card companies. His largest contributor (based on total contributions by employees) over the past five years has been MBNA, the Delaware-based bank aquired in 2005 by Bank of America than until then was the world’s largest independent credit card issuer and a major supporter of the 2005 bankruptcy bill that Biden crossed the aisle to support.


Once again, I want to point out that lobbying is a Constitutionally protected exercise.  The First Amendment gives Americans the right to petition Congress, and nothing prohibits or even discourages citizens from organizing in that effort to harness the power of numbers.   Run ethically, the practice of lobbying fills an important role in politics.


Joe


Of course, I’m not the one declaring lobbyists persona non grata in the Democratic Party.  That was Barack Obama, who declared just two months ago that lobbyists would not fund “my party”:





The Democratic National Committee will uphold the same standard: We will not take a dime from Washington lobbyists or special interest PACs. … They will not fund my party!


Take a look at the top five industries that donate to Biden as well:



  • Lawyers/law firms
  • Real estate
  • Retired
  • Securities & investment
  • Miscellaneous finance

Real estate and miscellaneous finance — wouldn’t that figure into the credit crisis and the housing market collapse?


It looks like Obama didn’t just throw Hope and Change under the bus, but himself right along with it.  Whether this is hypocrisy or incompetence, it’s stunning either way.


Those "crooks" are big lobbyist in the Obama

Biden's son quit as a lobbyist on August 25
Letter was not released until yesterday. No cigar.
What does kissing up mean?
/
Why is he kissing the Clinton's you know what

I don't get it.  Why is Obama kissing Bill and Hillary's you know what.  Now I hear something about she wants Obama to pay off her debt.  I don't get it.  Maybe I'm not hearing the full story, but something about this doesn't sound right.  I think I heard him saying he needs Bill and Hillary - like heck he does!  Why is he in a "love-fest" with them.  It's just a little to close for comfort for me.  If he pays off her campaign debt he's one notch down on the party pole for me.


And where in the world did these Clinton clowns come from.  They crawled out of a hole from Arkansaw parading around as if they are royalty.  They are acting like they are like the Kennedy's and I keep hearing about the Clinton Dynasty from the media.  Dynasty? Dynasty?  There is no dynasty.  These are just 2 people.  Two low class citizens who have mesmerized and conned (sp? con-artist) the American people.  They are 2 skum bags that I wish would just go away.  Why Barack is acting this way towards them I have no idea.  She tried to steal the election from him and he should just ignore her and go about his business.  If he pays off her campaign debts I will be thinking twice about voting for him.


Is that what O uses while you're kissing his?

You can quit kissing butt now
we get the point.

Geez.
And your hobby would be....hmmm... kissing O's boots?

Maddow was kissing his butt before the election....

Watch out, Marmann, here I come kissing your butt again! s/m

You are so right in your description of yellow jackets!  Just a bunch of brainless aggressors that attack blindly and viciously.  LOL


I am enjoying this very much and find it oh so entertaining!  Mob mentality is the only fitting way to describe these people.  I just haven't figured out if it's just mental defectiveness, self-loathing or just plain needing a good 'ole roll in the sheets!!  


Wow, usually people that work in the same industry find a common kinship and are very supportive of each other.  Sadly, I don't feel any kinship with a lot of these people.  In fact, I go out of my way to avoid people like this because their joy is killing other people's joy and that's a "disease" I just don't want to catch!  Besides, I have a feeling that all the negative posts on this thread are all done by the same person.  It must be awkward to be so socially inept.


I look forward to more posts by you and JTBB and, disturbingly, to the putrid spewing that will then ensue!!    Bring it own, bee-atches!


What's it called?
It's called LYING.
Uh, maybe that's why it's called
What's more he/she/it started out with a sarcastic remark of *aren't we worthy*? You sound like crybabies. Liberal board is for liberal people. Now is that so hard?
Nobody was called (nm)

x


He should be called on this and often...nm
While he stands up there being the hypocrite he is.
I am the one who called him that. sm
I stand by what I said.  He may not have raped Kathleen Willey or Paula Jones, but he may as well have. I totally believe he did rape Juanita Broaddick. 
and you won't be called (nor have I)

They call mostly Democrats and "likely voters."  Rasmussen, Gallup, and Daily Tracking are the most reputable ones, but even so, I ignore them.


Also, keep in mind that being on the no-call list prevents you from being called unless I'm mistaken.


You called it yourself--- not me!
 Vote Away
He actually called him ......(sm)
a *house negro* as well as Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice.  He also said he was no Malcom X and was betraying the Islam faith.  I haven't heard Obama's reaction yet, but I think it's kind of funny.  The terminology is outdated and laughable, and who wants to be like Malcolm X?    Was the reference to Malcolm X supposed to be an insult or a compliment?
It's called........... sm
disillusionment and resignation, GP. The more I read about the whole BC thing and now hearing that the SCOTUS has delayed the hearing another 5 days, I guess I am resigned to the idea that nothing is going to stand in the way of Obama....not the Constitution and not the voice of the people. I kind of look at the Constitution as I do the Bible and sin. A sin is a sin to God (excepting one) and breaking one part of the Constitution is breaking the whole thing. Call me gloom and doom if you want, but I have come to the realization that we are not living in a democracy or a republic. We are living in a political machine that operates at its whim without regard for our country's most basic foundations.

On the Clinton-Obama front, like I said. It should be interesting, to say the least, but you can bet your bottom dollar that Hillary is getting something more out of this than just the letters SOS out beside her name. There is more that goes on in Washington than is dreamed of by mere residents (I won't even use the word "citizens") of this once great nation.

Pardon my sardonic pessimism this morning. lol
That's called....(sm)
They'll get it however they can.  Check this out.  We have a double lot (just enough to keep me busy with a garden...lol).  When we bought the place there was a really old shed at the back of the property.  It was built probably about 40-50 years ago.  This thing was literally falling down, dirt floors.....completely in shambles and definitely not inhabitable.  We knew we would have to tear it down when we moved here.  So, we noticed on the assessment that 2K of the state assessment was attributed to that shed.  Yeah right.  We didn't need anything more than a sledge hammer and a crowbar to tear it down.  So, after we took it down we had them come out for a re-assessment.  They took $200 off the assessment value.  Hmmmm.....  Yeah, I raised cane with them but it didn't do any good.  I've been planning on putting a greenhouse out there.  I can't wait to see what happens with that.
No, that is just called being a

That's called....(sm)
Let's scare the public into thinking the stimulus is evil.  What a joke!  That's almost as good as Steele saying the stimulus doesn't create jobs, it creates work.  Talk about grasping at straws....
Unless you would like to be called
the "c" word (4 letters ends with "t"), then I would think twice.

This is highly offensive to some people and you know this. Reading your post is like dealing with my children who are 5 and 6 years old. One instigates the other calling each other names to lure the other into a fight. The difference though is my 5 and 6 year old are more mature than you are and understand the concept of playing nicely and treating each other with respectfully. They understand if they've said something that hurts the others feelings they will say they are sorry. Something you obviously don't understand. And after reading that you adore and hang onto every word Keith Oberfool has to say and you let him tell you how to think and what to say and do, I had to read no further than your first sentence.

Posters on this board have been disrespectful towards others. You think your aiding your cause by calling us teabaggers? Think again. You think your aiding your cause by saying anyone who participated is a racist? Well the laugh is on you because in these crowds of thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people I saw plenty of black people. Go ahead, tell them they are racist.

You know I do hope you keep it up, I do hope Oberfool an the other moe-rons at BSNBC keep having guests on like this piece of garbage Gorofool. You wouldn't see the truth if it slapped you in the face. Go ahead and laugh it up, because I'm right there smiling all the way to the elections next year. So go ahead keep calling us names. The laugh will be on you.
First of all, don't believe I called you

JTBB now did I?  I don't think so.  Secondly, I was being comical when I said I too have sleep deprivation, etc.  Loosen up a bit.  Dang.  I think you need to take a Xanax and chill out a bit.  Sheesh.


Regardless of my joking, which you obviously didn't get, I have no sympathy for people who want us dead. 


LOL, and you called me a bigot up above, so
x
GT, you have called me a bigot....
on this board at least 10 times.  Who's the one who generalizes here?  I can guarantee you that if I'm guilty, I'm certainly not alone.  Oh yes, all Republicans are rich and living behind gates, ignoring the plight of the poor.  Bull pucky.  Talk about a sweeping generalization.  I don't live behind a gate, I don't live in a fancy house, we make a decent income but are certainly not rich, and guess what?  We're not even religious.   You want equality for everybody?  Well, that isn't something that is given to you, it's something you work for.  My husband spent 7-1/2 yrs in college and got a master's degree, and worked his way through the whole thing at a gas station paying for it himself.  We work long hours.  There are people who refuse to value education, refuse to work hard, and just want a hand out.  That's a fact.  There have always been the poor and there always will be.  We've poured TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS of dollars into programs for the poor over the last 40 years and the poverty rate is basically the same.  To succeed takes effort.
It's called the TRUTH!!!

I think it's called the First Amendment.

The poster isn't *getting away* with anything.  He/she is exerting his/her constitutional right to form and voice an opinion.  Just so happens what the poster said is true about Bush having the Saudis being escorted out of the U.S., and if I remember correctly, some of those escorted were relatives of Bin Laden.


Like I said, the poster isn't *gettin away* with anything because the poster hasn't done anything wrong.   The person who has *gotten away* with a lot of illegal, immoral, unethical acts is Bush.


And *voila* had to be called down
Because he/she responded in profanity when her/his views were disputed. And know a lot PK. I know A LOT about your posting habits more than you could ever imagine.

Had they called me, there would be one more vote!

Yes, but we are the ones who are called intolerant. sm
Also, notice how the guys holding the sign have their faces covered.  Cowards all of them.
Which is exactly why Bush called for...
conservation...or a reduction in use of oil, in his state of the union address, not a complete changeover. You can't fix anything overnight, and scaring people into it and causing even more damage, as this article describes, is NOT the way to do it, and those hawking global warming KNOW that, but it is typical socialism ploy...you get everyone on board by screaming *they are trying to hurt you but WE will save you.* New cause, same song, second verse.
It's called fraud
I happened to get a call from the police in Arizona a few months ago. I have always lived in Ohio. It seems someone (several someones actually) had LISTS of people across the country of personal info, account numbers, passwords, email addresses, etc. pretty much everything you need, even machines to make the credit cards and license IDs. Arizona puts the fraudsters away just for having this info without your permission. Apparently they had a large fraud bust out there and they don't waste their time on proving what they did with it. YEA ARIZONA!
Thanks. It's called sacrifice.
Baby did not ask to be here. I made that choice.
It's called Google. If you want to know...
information is there. I also have a dear friend who spent most of her life there.
It's called a debate...nm
.
Its called multitasking. :)
As to what I make...a living.
it's called recycling all the

talking points, trying to catch any newcomers to the political issues.


 


you called me indoctrinated and

claimed I have a poster above my desk.  those are personal attacks.  Do not attack me personally.  Stick to the issues as required on this board.


 


It's called the Amero...

The new currency will be called the Amero if they create the North American Union (the merger of Canada, USA, and Mexico). (Amero for the NAU and Euro for the EU.)  The deadline for the merger has been set at 2010. We will completely lose our national sovereignty. The U.S. Constitution, which has already been flushed down the crapper, will be completely moot. A Tribunal will replace the United States Supreme Court. Expect gun confiscation shortly before or after creation of the NAU.


Then again they may bypass that step and go straight to the wordwide currency, the Phoenix.


This stuff has been in the works for years. We have their documents... The globalist politicians have been consistently denying it (my Senators are two -- one of whom is McCain), but there are a few heroes in Congress. BTW, Obama openly supported creation of the NAU in an op-ed piece then turned around and feigned ignorance at a Town Hall meeting.


Since 2006 I have been called a "tin-foil-hat-wearing, paranoid conspiracy theorist" by countless sheeple. Unfortunately for all of us, soon enough they will see that my concerns were not unfounded....


Oh well, I did my part to try to sound the alarm. Too many Americans are dumbed down and complacent so there is no hope of saving her anyway.


Yes I can and it's called POVERTY
:
I have never been called since 2000
to be included in a national poll. I'm Democrat. I answer all phone calls JUST to have my voice heard. Why haven't they called me?
Back in the 50s that was called
"grading on a curve."  Hardly the same as talking about money.  If you're comparing CEOs to common workers, that's no comparison.  I don't think anyone is planning to take money from someone making $30 an hour and dividing it up between someone making $10 an hour so that both would be making $20.  That's stretching the "redistribution of wealth" a little far donchathink?  On the other hand I wonder if you were making $50,000 a year would you really, really object if the CEO who was doing a sorry job and was being paid say 1 million a year, were to have say a mere $25,000 tax deducted and "redistributed" into your pocket.  Anyone want to say they wouldn't be happy to take that little contribution?  No?  I didn't think so.
Someone called ME dense s/m
Reading comprehension.  I was not and am not talking about SMALL businesses.
I am sure I will be called a racist, but
I really think that all the fuel needed was for a black man to run for president. That said, my problems with Obama lie in his policies, not his color.
Getting the so-called facts from
MSNBC are ya?  Once again.....another example of the liberal media telling falsehoods.  Palin draws in very large crowds wherever she goes.
I have certainly been called worse.
