yeah, those awful, rich, ungiving Republicans

Yeah, the Republicans are full of something...................nm

Yeah and Republicans want to
privatize Social Security. It's a toss-up who's the worst ain't it.
Yeah, Democrats and Republicans
.
Yeah one indictment and you think you've brought the Republicans down
Stupid should hurt. As much as ya'll scream and whine it must.
Everytime you end up with egg on your face. It's really hilarious to sit back and watch liberals have a victory party before there's even any court hearings or before the political chips can fall. Oh the chips are going to fall, but I doubt they'll be where you want them to be.
Pork?
I thought the obamanator wasn't going to allow pork in his stimulus package? That man will say anything and then turn around and do anything. I don't trust him at all. I was giving him a chance but I just don't see how I can anymore. We never should have elected someone who learned politics from corrupt politicians in Illinois. Something is horribly wrong here.
PORK
Jobs? Pleeze......there are doctors to help these folks, doctors already in place. There will be no REAL jobs created for this crap.
I am sitting here talking with a nutritionist at a local hospital, doctorate degree, and she said this will do absolutely nothing to create jobs, that it is just another bunch of crap.
She has seen all this broohaha before, wanting to help the obese and smokers and all it does is create more paperwork for those already doing the job.
These are SOCIAL programs. We do not need more social programs. Don't you realize that? More social programs = MORE GOVERNMENT. More government is the problem.
I hope to he!! they get rid of the dog and frisbee park and all the other garbage in there.
I don't want to pay for anyone's birth control and condoms either......
Guess that will produce jobs too?
Pork....(sm)
$50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts.
Mapplethorpe is pleased, remember crosses in jars of urine?
This one was in the House bill, not in the Senate bill.
$650 million for digital-TV coupons.
TV is going digital and it is necessary for people to be able to get converter boxes. Otherwise, no news, no TV, etc.
$34 million to renovate the Department of Commerce headquarters.
Renovation means construction = jobs.
$350 million for Agriculture Department computers.
Buy new computers = putting money in the economy = jobs for people to build computers.
$150 million for “producers of livestock, honeybees, and farm-raised fish.
This is straight up help for food production. In particular, there is a serious problem right now with lack of honeybees. As in, pollination is a problem right now. I'm actually thinking about raising honeybees myself for help with my garden.
Believe it or not, dems want to cut the pork too! nm
.
For pork hunters...(sm)
A lot of you are saying that there is still pork in the stimulus. How about listing those pork projects that are still in the bill. I'm interested to see what you think is pork.
King of Pork!
And the King is...... Robert Byrd - D-WVA
60 earmarks for a total of 122 million.....
Only $473,000? Whoever submitted that bit of pork
We just spent $6 million to install bomb detection equipment at the airport in (drumroll.....) Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I've been worried sick about Jackson Hole, haven't you?
You think he's full of himself? Well, I think you're full of something else. SM
Something brown. You think on it for a couple of months and I bet you'll figure it out.
At least they're trying to stop most of the pork
I don't know why you DON'T object to most of this stimulus package. It's a bunch of crap. Three quarters of the stuff doesn't belong in a STIMULUS PACKAGE, it belongs in the BUDGET.
Definition of Pork aka Earmarks
Just so we all know what pork (aka "earmarks") actually is:
http://www.earmarks.omb.gov
/earmarks_definition.html
From the Office of Management and Budget:
OMB defines earmarks as funds provided by the Congress for projects or programs where the congressional direction (in bill or report language) circumvents Executive Branch merit-based or competitive allocation processes, or specifies the location or recipient, or otherwise curtails the ability of the Executive Branch to manage critical aspects of the funds allocation process.
In other words, provisions added to a bill after the president has ratified the bill that direct funds to certain districts in exchange for promises made beforehand by the representatives from those districts to vote yes on said bill. These are the earmarks (or "pork") that McCain and Obama both campaigned against. This bill contains no pork (yet) because they just passed it.
The GOP's definition of earmarks aka "pork": "Stuff we don't like."
Technically, the provisions in the bill that the GOP and others are calling pork (or earmarks) are not pork.
One person's pork is another ocmmunity's

Oh that's awful
my prayer's are with him and his family. It's never easy to deal with death, even when it's expected.
That's awful! sm
I didn't vote for the man, but I would never wish him the unfortunate situation of following in the footsteps of assasinated presidents.
As an aside and not to detract from the subject at hand, I thing this speaks volumes for the state of our educational system in this country if the advertising staff "didn't make the connection." But that's a whole 'nuther ball of wax.
It must be awful being you.
"This is a godless world and you are on a piece of cosmic debris which happens to have every element necessary to support life."
How sad. Truly, truly sad.
It's a shame you can't enjoy life like the rest of us. It really is a beautiful thing. Full of joy and hope and laughter.
True, it can also contain pain, despair, and injustice - temporarily - but that's why faith in something bigger than yourself is so important. And it's in those trying times that we are capable of rising even higher... of achieving more peace... of inspiring others.
Life is full of ups and downs. Of good and evil, always fighting for balance (for the time being).
I certainly hope you didn't let that one Muslim man's answer determine your faith. If you had bothered to ask one Christian man the same question, you would have received an entirely different answer.
I hope you can someday find the truth. It's such a wonderful, happy "piece of cosmic debris" when you look at it through Heaven's eyes.
Peace.
he looked awful
He looked like something was wrong in the news video I saw..I did not state it was alcohol. I stated you never know cause something looked wrong..his face was hanging, his eyes were puffy, he was inattentive..definitely something was not right..Believe me, I do not wish this disease on anyone..I have seen what it can do..
You seem to like Palin an awful lot....why

Gas prices - 259 a gallon - it's awful...nm

He paid with his own earnings? Oh how awful.
And what was your point? Wouldn't you tend to trust a candidate more who paid for his campaign with his own money, rather than taking bribes from special interests that he has to pay back later by stealing more freedom and cash from you?
And if your point was that his take on the case was so high that he could finance a whole campaign with it, again, so? - A jury of your peers made that award and likely you would have too had you been on the jury and had a chance to hear the facts. If he had been representing you in a case in which your child was disemboweled by a defective piece of equipment which the manufacturers knew full well tended to disembowel children but they sold it to you anyway, would you think the jury awarded too much or the lawyer might get paid too much?
Or instead of actually thinking about the need to have lawyers represent people who have been egregiously harmed by incompetent and negligent companies, and the need to have juries hear the facts and make appropriate awards when justified, is it just easier to nod at the bullcrap propaganda which says you don't NEED to be protected because look how much money the lawyer makes?
When it's your turn you're going to want that lawyer and you're going to want that jury to hear your story. So what is the problem you have with holding villains accountable and seeing other people get the settlements they deserve?
No, you guys are awful on this board.

Again, awful generalization. Your animosity toward anyone
again goes against your other posts. Plus, you're basing some of your own opinions on hearsay from others? Lest you forget, it's the person, not the money. Look at Angelina Jolie, someone we all know has plenty of money. She might not have food sitting out by the mailbox on food drive day, but that might be because she's "walking the walk" in a poor third world country. You don't want to be judged, yet you are doing an awful lot of judging yourself.
Those things are awful, I agree - but he is not going to fix them! nm

That's awful!!! If ANYONE's votes should count is is theirs!!! sm
The government should have made absolutely sure our soldiers' votes were here on time and if not, dammit, we should postpone the election until they do. They are leaving their families and risking their lives to protect this country and they don't even get a vote on who runs it?? That has me fuming mad!!!!!!!
She does blink an awful lot, doesn't she?
Maybe she's had too much plastic surgery - things do look a little tight around her eyes =)
Then again, anyone looks more animated than Cheney - was he even alive up there?
This was a good one -thanks for posting!
That's awful! Praying all those held will be released safely...
they are saying a woman and child have been released, and that is a good thing...praying this will end with no innocent folks being hurt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've said before that you're leaving, but you and your goons can't sta
really wanna barf - guess who steps up as pres. if something awful happens to the pres and vp??? nm
....
yeah, yeah, yeah.....what he failed to mention...
is that the Dems are responsible for the mortgage meltdown which is responsible for the wall street meltdown. Chris Dodd, Barney Frank...totally to blame. Blocked every attemmpt by Bush Admin and yes, McCain, to regulate fannie/freddie. Dems certainly have selective memories...convenient bouts of amnesia. lol.
Oh whatever, gt, you are full of it. nm
You are full of it. sm
I know and you know that if Bush signed a bill that would cost us 400 billion dollars and 4.2 million jobs, you would have a stroke. Conservatives want to protect the environment as much as our Birkenstock-wearing liberal counterparts. But conservatives dont' base their environmental policies on emotions, hysteria or junk science, gt. Conservatives like warm fuzzies just as much as the next guy but that should not require us to walk lockstep with the radical environmentalist agenda. Environmentalists have watched way too many Star Trek episodes and seem incapable at times of distinguishing between science fiction and science fact. They won't tell you this at the DU or the New York Times but we don't even know scientifically if carbon dioxide actually affects the Earth's temperature. We live in a polluted world. Surely the manufacture of disposable diapers (never used em), plastic containers, and styrofoam is a huge contributor, not to mention toxic waste from manufacturing. KYOTO DOESN'T EVEN ADDRESS THESE! It's worried about CO2. GET REAL. As a nation, we need to get back to washing our own dishes, washing our own diapers, and drinking out of the old faithful mason jar. THAT' S environmental protection. You don't know what you are talking about. You only think you do. You can't go around reducing every argument to conservatives are mean cruel hateful liars and just ignore the crux of the problem. Well, I guess you can. You keep doing it. Try independent thought for a change.
Full of what?
Joy? Hope? Enthusiasm? Positive energy? Cheer? Delight? Elation? Anticipation? Promise? Optimism?
Evidently, in view of the response she is getting, she is not exactly sitting there talking to herself. Making it up? She speaks for many of us.
One has to wonder why it is you find this so disturbing and you have such low tolerance for happy.
Here's what you are full of: Woe, adversity, distress, abjection, discouragement, pessimism, despondency, misery, sorrow, doubt, antagonism, suspicion and misgivings.
Good luck with that. Most of us don't choose to live that way.
You are full of yourself. No one can take you seriously
is spread lies and deceit. Read the article. Where does it say that Abd Al-Rahim will get off with a free pass? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29042139/
The nerve? GT you are so full of it. sm
Take a good long look at page one of the Conservative board. Tell me you see no postings of an inflammatory nature by liberals. If you did, you would be lying.
He is full of nothing but hot air. Amazed at the following he has.
fffffffffffffffffff
Is there a particular reason you used his full name ... sm
Making sure you put the Hussein part in, when I have never seen you address him that way before. Yes, it is his full name but some people (are you included?) love to add that in just to make people think he is Muslim or make references to it.
Not saying that was your intention but it smells kind of fishy.
Know-it-all '[Psycho Sam' is full of B.S.
X
full coverage for how much
x
do you not understand that he is full of
how do you possibly think he can offer tax breaks with all of the government programs he is proposing?
Will you tell me exactly what kind of breaks he is going to give?
He may very well win but I'm terrified of what his real plans are.
Oh please. This post is so full of it
He "accurately assessed the country was ready to elect an African American president". My gosh, did he do that all by his little ol self. Excuse me but he didn't choose this. People above him who pay him told him he would run.
He by all means did not run a clean campaign. Don't you even remember what he did to Hillary??????? Not only with Hillary, but all the other primary runners and with McCain he DID resort to dirty tactics and tained election antics. And ESPECIALLY, most ESPECIALLY manipulated the courts decisions. That whole deal about him not releasing his BC is such a farce. He is illigitimate plain and simple. Does that change anything NO, it does not. He has enough rich lawyer friends and super wealthy friends who have manipulated. I am dealing with the fact that we have a foreign born president and that our constitution has been changed. I'm dealing with it, but for you to come out and say he didn't manipulate anything. Please. From his friends in the legal offices always overturning everything that people are doing to come to the truth. That spells SLEAZE in capital letters. I am dealing with it and I don't bring it up anymore but your blindness to the facts is astonishing.
His cabinet appointments have been very well orchestrated. Yup, you got that one right. One sleazeball Clinton has been after another. That is what I call very well orchestrated. Now if he would only pick some people with intelligence and knowledge to fill the cabinet. Not the people he owes favors to who will be the downfall of our country.
He has world leaders enthused? Have you even read how outraged some of the other countries are about some of his picks - especially Dillary! Puten and people in his country sure are not enthused. Iran sure is not enthused that he picked the lady that stated she would obliterate their country. No doubt Germany is enthused. The embrace socialism there.
The O is off to a good start??? That is your opinion. There are many of us who were hopeful for him when he was elected, but seeing the decisions he is making so far we are thinking twice about that.
He will be dazzling us with his brilliance?????? My-oh-my, did you read that in a Romance novel. You really need to stop drinking that Kool-Aid and join us in reality. Only after he is present will be be able to say whether he "dazzled us with his brilliance" or "baffled us with his bullsh!t".
you are so full of it, this is hilarious! Just
you sit and talk to yourself and make up this crap?
You sound so full of yourself
bust a gut at any moment, so could be all that mountain biking has been in vain and instead your perfectly proportioned bod is bloated with bull.
Your OP is a good example why there is a difference between those folks you claim to hang with and the ones here who have to endure the cesspool that those types of remarks turn this forum into on a minute-by-minute basis.
You missed the point of the other post. Here's a hint. It was not about chili dogs and cheese and going gaga over Obama, but you were in such a hurry to try to be cute while you post your disgust, you didn't notice.
I too would like to suggest that it might be a good idea to at least CONSIDER keeping your pot shot drive by negative snipes to yourself every now and then.
And some of us with a full brain knows this is (sm)
also about Israel.
From another Republican under the Reagan Administration, Paul Craig Roberts: http://www.vdare.com/roberts/090508_hate_crime.htm
Since the passage of the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act in 2004, the US Department of State is required to monitor anti-Semitism worldwide. The State Department is not required to monitor anti-Americanism or sentiments against Christians, Muslims or Arabs. Thus, the act created a specially protected class worthy of careful monitoring by the US Department of State of negative sentiments expressed against Jews.
In order to monitor anti-Semitism, the term must be defined. The definition is subjective and will be widely, rather than narrowly, interpreted.
The State Department has come up with its attempt. The State Department’s approach could include any truthful statements about Israel and its behavior toward the Palestinians that the Israeli government or AIPAC or the Anti-Defamation League would deny or contest.
Anti-Semitic speech can be interpreted as inciting hatred. Inciting hatred can be interpreted to be a violent act. “Excessive” criticism of Israel is a subjective, indefinable concept that can be used to determine anti-semitic speech. It is easy to conflate “excessive” with “strong”.
Thus, demands that Israel be held accountable for war crimes committed in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, or elsewhere become acts of the “hate crime” of anti-semitism.
glass empty/full
LOL, ya know, reading your post about glass half empty, geez. I used to, in my younger days, be a glass half full. I used to debate with friends and coworkers, especially liked debating with cute doctors (smile) about their glass half empty view and my glass half full view..However, as I have gotten older, wiser and more tired, yes I guess my view is glass half empty. However, I do think if the situation in this country and the world and the job situation, heck the respect for each other situation was better, my attitude would change.
Hmm...in the interest of full disclosure...
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/07/where_in_the_world_is_obamas_m.html
Don't care where Waldo is, but would like to know where the thesis is...and also the rest of the missing Columbia records. If people are so concerned about where what the #2 on the other ticket did in Wasilla, Alaska, and how many colleges she went to, I would like to know what the #1 on the Democratic ticket was doing during his Columbia years. After all...he IS running for the #1 slot.
Your post is so full of holes that I won't even....... sm
bother to address all of them, but I will address a couple.
For starters, "sam" apparently no longer posts here, or if he/she does then it is done under another name. If so, I could not blame him/her because of the regular attacks he/she also received. The ball bounces both ways, you know, so you can come out of hiding now.
My moniker has always been "m" which is the initial of my first name. I stand behind what I post, regardless of how "juvenile" you seem to think they are. I have had many conversations with other posters on the board with no complaints at all apart from my particular political stance on a subject which is to be expected on such a forum as this.
The last thing I would address is the fact that you say I should just avoid your yellow-bellied posts if I don't care for their convoluted, high-brow attitude and move on. A good portion of the time, I do just that, but it is hard to always correctly identify you amongst all the other NM and SM "monikers" on this board, again people who like to throw out barbs without sullying their reputation. Further, when someone attacks another poster as they did BT above, and I am assuming it is you by the nature of your posts, I feel that something should be said. Rude and inflammatory posts such as you are accustomed to making are hurtful and completely unnecessary. To have simply disagreed would have been one thing, but to call someone a "psychopath" is something else entirely. I, of course, have no proof that you made the original post, but neither do you have proof to me that you didn't. I will leave it at that.
I have nothing else that I wish do discuss with you in terms of political views at this point. If and when you do decide to post something of interest, be it political or a personal attack against me or another regular poster of this forum, I will speak to that as the situation arises. Until then, have a nice day.
Well, he ain't alone.......congress full of money
xx
The full report is due to come out today. The..sm
preliminary report is that the first dude lied and did talk to multiple government officials, not just one as he says, regarding the case, and he relentlessly pushed to get the trooper fired. It will be interesting to see what the full determination will be.
