Obama '08?

It's not about me. It's about your ignorance and what you seem to believe your opinions about taxation has any merit. It doesn't.

The taxation code was developed through both republican and democratic control of the administration and congress. They make the laws about taxation, and that's what we must all live by. Not your opinion; it belongs on the laffer curve.

Even though you are wrong, at least write in correct grammar, imposter. plainoldme, one of your fellow liberal posters, would be ashamed of you writing as you do. Your post should have been written "..... what you seem to believe your opinions about taxation have any merit. They do not." Well shasam, imposter, you are so informative! News for you, pay my taxes according to law, but I can still have an opinion, which will translate into votes against your heros in the next few elections. I don't know if there is any hope to straighten this country out, but be informed some of us will try.

okie, You now want to challenge my grammar? LOL Why not the subject under discussion? Your opinions about taxation doesn't have any reality to them. You are a joke.

Obama miscalculating has pretty much been the rule rather than the exception.

The US political system benefits from brinksmanship, so the debt ceiling crisis is very likely to be resolved at midnight on Aug 2nd.

I grasp the concept that there is a small cost to have to put the same number on 2 lines vs 1 line...
This is what I don't get..


If you can't grasp something so simple that a small cost is not a mountain of money then I guess that would explain your need to call me stupid.

Obama lies & the economy dies

I think Hawkeye got it wrong. It was pretty obvious all along that the extreme right Tea Party Republicans would balk at everything but their own agenda. Obama has played it well and is making them look like the obstructionist mules they in fact are. He made the dramatic compromises with a comprehensive plan, deep cuts, and some tax increases. They flatly refused. He knows an increase in taxes to prevvious levels for the rich is overwhelmingly popular. He knows support for the Tea Party is still limited to the Republican core, and few others, as it has been since they emerged. If there's no deal, it's going to be very clear where any consequences lie---on the Republican intransigents. Which means it's the Tea Party that is going to reelect Obama. Given the political realities, I think Obama has done well. It's the same mousetrapping that showed Donald Trump up for the birther buffoon he is and removed him as any sort of serious contender.

I'm sure MJ got it wrong.

And I'm sure, given his track record, that H20's got it wrong that I'm wrong.

Wrong again MJ, wrong again

I see you're drinking again, H2. Do the math--2012 like most of the last few elections is going to come down to which way a few percentage points of swing voters swing. And the Republicans are doing everything they can to ensure they are perceived as the pile of boulders in the middle of the highway, which is gonna lose them the swing.

Wrong again , fool.

Doing Mr. T impersonations again, H2? We'll see. I think we have here a case of the classic policy of "Give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves." Obama has, and the Republicans will.

Wrong again!

MJ, you are on quite a losing streak.

But still nowhere near your staggering world record of 12,659 consecutive paranoid, obliquely racist, logically flawed, misspelled posts. You, sir, are an inspiration to old, irrelevant rednecks everywhere.

And today, in your honor, I would like to announce that you have been selected to feature prominently in an extension of Harry Harlow's social isolation experiments on rhesus monkeys. That's right, the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Anthropology department would like to apply Harlow's famous tests one-notch up the evolutionary ladder, to water softener repairman.

Specifically, Joethewaterguy will represent the control group: water softener repairmen reared under a healthy mother-child relationship. Whereas you will represent neglected water softener repairmen with underdeveloped brainstems. Each of you will be confined to an observation cell containing a computer and nothing else.

How will the subjects compare? Will they post an equal number of links to questionable "new" sources? Will they exhibit equally deficient analytical faculties?

Stay tuned for my hypothesis!

Another Obama apologists chimes in... yawn.

In weekend news, the Dems cold smoked the Republicans in the annual Congressional baseball game.



Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA)

The former college player pitched a complete game one-hitter, striking out 13, in leading Democrats to a 8-2 victory. The game is taken very seriously -- probably too seriously -- as these pics of senators and congressmen in full unis playing in DC's major league park suggest.

What's going to lose them the election is people's pocket books; they're going to see the damage from a) higher cost of everything, and b) less benefits from our government. If that doesn't wake them up, nothing will.
