david gregory is just a larry odonnell wannabe.

mr. ryan speaks of the importance in ‘unifying america’. how can that happen when the growing divide of inequality is so blatantly obvious? paul ryan, your efforts to support wall street are transparent and sickening. what contributions have you made to this country? you drafted a budget which will only further separate the divide among americans. 

you, sir, are guilty of dividing america. 

please read this intelligent, concise, and thoughtful article written by a man who has actually accomplished something in their life. (a nobel prize)

A waste of time. he’s just another krugman, a LLL.

your only efforts seem to be drawing comparisons, ie. gregory vs. odonnell, stiglitz vs. krugman. got anything of substance?

Paul Ryan is a devotee of Ayn Rand who divided the world into producers and parasites and considered empathy and charity to be malignant acts, Ryan is the divider.

WTF???????? Which party has said, “The most important thing we have to do is prevent a second term by Obama”?

Dividing American?
Lets start from the “tea party moment” that Paul Ryan loves it when it was started. It divided America from the beginning. Nobody wanted listen what other side wanted to say. They just were keep shouting just one thing “Keep Obama out of White House” for……………………nothing cos they don’t like how he looks like. If it was for spending or over spending, they would have done same thing for Ronald Reagan, Bush or even to Rick Perry (who spent even stimulus money from Obama). Nope. They just started the ‘tea party’ to make corporate America win. Republican or even Blue dog democrat serves, lives and wants to sacrifice their career only for rich, who just don’t want to contribute to the society. Diving America??? What about supporting the legislation that will value the Chinese currency up and creates more jobs in America? Paul Ryan don’t want that. What about bogus FREE TRADE??? Free trade is making american jobs ships to overseas and Republicans are supporting it 100000%………… Class warfare????? what about taking care of poor people when they even don’t have penny to feed their family and can’t find job? What about telling rich people to contribute little bit to that society who even don’t have any hope to survive without no job and no help. Diving country???? Thats in the blood of Republicans… diving in the name of Religion (they hate muslims and other religion), Race (they hate black, hispanic and believes this is Christian nation except Herman Cain is the puppet for Tea party. Without Herman Cain they would  not find anybody to hide their racism), Birthers, Corporate culture, Bribery in the name of lobbies…USA is diving because of Republicans and Tea party… other regular people were just showing their patience ………..now they are coming out against corporate greed and corrupt cult called republican party….

Ryan, a fellow Wisconsinite that has not fallen for the marxist programming in public schools.

Sorry, the rich are not taxing and regulating my business and myself. That would be the government.

There is NO PIE.

Paul Ryan will forever be known as the politician who wanted to kill MediCare!! His plan was such a huge disaster that Republicons won’t even mention it!! Furthermore, Ryan criticizing the President, is just away to draw attention from his failed policy proposals!! He’s politically radioactive!!

Paul Ryan is right . Obama is happily trying to divide America into groups . He is , and always will be an arrogant,incompetent rabble rouser. He IS Al Sharpton .

“Barry Soetoro is not only not in any sense that counts the president, he is in fact,  Community Organizer Numero Uno who made it to the Oval Office under false identity and false pretenses.  Obama sees his job not to lead the most powerful country on Earth, but to continue on with what he was born to do best:  uninterrupted community organizing.”

Nobody wanted listen what other side wanted to say. They just were keep shouting just one thing “Keep Obama out of White House”

Clearly, you didn’t listen to what they were saying.

You mean the plan they passed?

Medicare is going to die. It’s very ill. That’s not class warfare, that’s math.

How about Obama and Arafat?

The Republicans plan of divide and conquer is failing.  They better learn to get ahead of this movement or they will be run over.  Obama has a jobs bill out there, the Republicans don’t.  

King Obama is a delusional child.

“It’s all very odd. Obama is acting as if his approval ratings are in the mid-60s instead of the low 40s. He’s acting as if Republicans fear him instead of Democrats like Senator Claire McCaskill, who no longer want to be seen with him. The president is acting like his agenda is popular rather than radioactive. He’s acting as if the public still cares what he thinks rather than having tuned him out long ago. And he’s acting as if

Republicans will feel compelled to justify their opposition to this singularly inept chief executive and his failing presidency.
Obama is once again trying to weave a narrative that is utterly detached from the real world. From time to time my son does the same thing.
He’s seven years old.

Paul Ryan said: “Sewing class envy and social unrest is not what we do in America… I think the president is doing that. I think he’s preying on the emotions of fear, envy, and anger, and that is not constructive to unifying America. I think he’s broken his promise as a uniter, and now he’s dividing people, and to me that’s very unproductive.”Mr Ryan I wouuld say your comments are like the Pot calling the Kettle Black. You and your peers in congress have stood in the way of every possible ideas the President has come up with.  Even if he presents to you your own ideas they somehow are now tainted and must be bad.  It is no secret the only clear mission the republican party has is to attempt make Obama a one term president and the hell with the American people and their needs.

I was on a plane with Ryan from DC to Milwaukee.
It was only a few days after his expensive bottle of wine in the news.
Myself and another passenger waited to speak with him, but as we walked by, he was to busy talking to someone who met him at the plane.
He asked him 2 questions.
How was the Lobster at 1 party.
Did he get enough Champagne at another.

ok ‘pablo’…obama and arafat? seriously? your trolling on mediate hasn’t gone unnoticed. you hold zero credibility. make an attempt, FOR ONCE, to solidify your asinine assertions with something relevant. 

You mean the guy who thinks an alien invasion will solve our fiscal problems?

Try to pay attention, would you? We’re talking Nobel Prize winners here.

You mean the one even the Dems won’t touch?

Lol!! You know they regret that vote… do you really think they will bring up how they voted on that bill in their next election??

Community agitators sow the seeds of discord and division by preying on negative emotions. It’s what they do.
It’s a shame there are so many people who are getting played without even realizing it.

Yeah, they hated it so much that 235 Reps and 40 Senators voted for it.

Are you convincing yourself? You’re not convincing anyone else.

Yeah, they hated it so much that 235 Reps and 40 Senators voted for it.

Are you convincing yourself? You’re not convincing anyone else.

cry me a river, yeah the white house is serving happy meals for dinner

When President Obama gave his speech before the joint session of congress, there was no jobs bill. While everyone else was waiting over a week for Obama to come up with a bill, a Republican beat him to the punch.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/tea-party-congressman-beats-obama-american-jobs-act-181129773.html

Funny you claim the Republicans are the party of “divide and conquer.” Seems to me the Democrats are the ones who single out different groups and pander to each of them, pitting their interests against those of other Americans and claiming the other party wants them dead.

You have yet to impress me with your ability to reason. Perhaps you should choose another pseudonym… or, you could stop hiding and post under your real name.

it’s amazing to me how many foot soldiers the right wing has, a la ‘pablo’. for the past two or three decades, the GOP has been hellbent on creating class warfare. i’m curious to know where you stand in all of this. do you belong to the 1%? my guess is no. so wtf are you doing? you’ve been sold on the american dream? ah, how cute. whilst you go to bed every night having wet dreams over the almighty dollar, republicans are laughing at their minions for doing their dirty work. how does it feel to be doing the work for corporate america? proud of yourself, eh?

obama is the most right-wing democrat we’ve ever had in office. how will you react when grayson, sanders and/or warren are sitting in the white house in 2016? you’ll either spontaneously combust or keep your mouth closed because all of ‘em have white skin. keep up your veiled racist attacks against obama. just like paul ryan, your transparency knows no bounds.

it sounds like Ryan is celebrating something he had a hand in, republicans are the real dividers.  Obama has gone more than half way with these people.

we’re all convinced but you, ‘pablo’. the vote was purely political at the time. just like leedog said, not one of the 235 reps or 40 senators who voted in favor of it will mention it during re-election time. guaranteed.

The only ones protesting about millionaires paying their fair share…are usually the millionaires…

you attempt to back up your claim by posting a link to a canadian website? btw, the whole ‘knocking obama because he was a community organizer’ is tired and old. community organizing has only become demonized since a black man has gained entry to POTUS. never before has such noble work been scrutinized. i guess we can’t expect much more out of the grand ole party.

Of course they all did!! Everyone knows that Republicons would love to turn Medicare into a voucher system to help the insurance companies make more profits off the elderly!!

What Paul Ryan should have said:

David, is NBC going to denounce Lawrence O’Donnell’s horrify race baiting interview with Herman Cain?  Is that what liberal democrats stand for now?  Because David, if this networks silence on O’Donnell is an indication of support and agreement – I refuse to comment on Herman Cain until  NBC makes a public apology.

Obama’s last fundraiser was $38.5K a plate.  What do you think they served – dirt and grass, you butt wipe

I love the your guy is worse than my guy argument.

“race baiting”?

Thanks for providing us with Exhibit A that today’s Republicans are whiny, delusional and disconnected from reality.

So you buy into everything the President feeds you…  Hope you are hungry because Reid and Pelosi are back in the kitchen cooking another plate of that slop for ya..

Ryan’s “pitting people against each other” and “dividing” comments are disingenuous and laughable.

This is CAPITALISM. Are you telling me that competition is bad, now? We are all against each other in this system, fighting to get the most for ourselves while trying to destroy our adversaries–our neighbors.

The only time we were “united” was when Wall Street was attacked by Al Queda. Then we were one big happy family, but when we were downsized, we were just overpaid suckers.

“I want everybody to be rich!” may have worked before, but many of us are waking from this American dream.

I don’t buy into anything either party feeds me.  I research the facts and draw my own conclusions which is something you may want to try. 

The GOP has been creating class warfare? Oh, you delusional child. Maybe you could sit down and share a nice ACORN with Reverends Jackson and Sharpton.

I belong to the 53%. I enjoy making a living and the fruit of my labor keeps me comfortable. I’m not the envious sort, so I’m doing just fine, TYVM.

obama is the most right-wing democrat we’ve ever had in office. how will
you react when grayson, sanders and/or warren are sitting in the white
house in 2016?

http://tinyurl.com/yeqd3n

Seriously, Ryan? Obama is elected and less than 90 days into his term, 4/15/2009, the Tealiban is attacking Obama for the mess the Republicans made — and you accuse Obama of dividing the nation? You have your head up your ass, Ryan.

Sure they won’t. Because you said so.

Community organizing = class warfare.

Yes, race baiting idiot.  If you didn’t feel a little sick to your stomach watch a white liberal question a 65 year old black man on if he was “down for the struggle” enough to be considered black – then something is deeply wrong with your psyche.  

Obama had as much chance to unite this country as Judge Judy would with Palestine and Israel. Both sides are way too programmed to hate each other for anything sensible to ever get done.

This is like watching the crew of the Titanic arguing about who’s fault it is we’re heading towards an iceberg and which way to turn to avoid it.

Ryan is selling crap and some people are even buying it. He has nothing to offer. Proven record, my a**. Proven record trickle down is just another word for golden shower.  The only purpose of his political existence is to work against anything leading to a functioning and prospering society.

So, you support O’Donnell’s actions?

And forgoing that O’D never marched…never served ( got his deferment ) and went all out on the happy me get mine crowd. Then having those token boot lickers come on to boost his mojo and cred as a lover of blacks…made me want to vomit again. Al Sheet4brains Sharpton? Who never marched either but latched onto the civil rights movement as a sure fire way to get rich and stay a racist for ever.

And screwing…”The man”.

Politics in general is dividing America.  Division is almost the de facto definition for politics now.  The “us vs. them” mantra.  Automatically hating somebody he or she has a (D) or (R) after their name.

You need to learn how to spell before ranting intelligently

Uh, yeah, they sure have been creating class warfare despite your very own delusional mind.  Simply by trying to destroy the middle class, and raise their taxes while refusing to tax the wealthy. Simple … even for you.

this is what fox is doing on a daily basis almost every hour of the day, beating on Obama!

Take your own advice!

LOL!  ACORN!  You can’t be serious?

Where is the bill?  Did it get through the house?? The Republicans own strategy is to divide and conquer.  That’s what they talk about in their secret meetings.  Very powerful I am, very powerful indeed.  You are indeed falling into their trap.  

Paul Ryan is right….not that his party helped with the uniting part at all.

We have never had a politician of national prominence who has been as divisive as President Obama.  The fact is he is incompetent as a president and reverts back to his core competencies of community organizing which is to rally the troops.  He turns to each ethnic group in this country and calls them to come to his aid and fight their oppressors, something that a president has never done.  He is weak and he will destroy this country to further his own pitiful career as president. 

What is spelled wrong?

Yeah Paul…’breaking a promise’ with absolutely no help from you guys is MUCH worse than flat out lying to them and your constituents about what you ‘stand’ for…what is that again?  Tearing down America?

What they were saying wasn’t worth listening to.

Obama has tried more than any president in the last 20 years to bring the two parties together, but the GOP only wants our president and the country to fail so they can take over and continue destroying our country, constitution and freedoms. Stay out of women’s uteruses or you will regret it.

If Cain wants to be president, he has to answer whatever is thrown at him. Lawrence just questioned something he wrote in his book. IT’s all fair game. Sorry loser.

thats is the Dumbest thing you have ever typed

I respectfully disagree. People on both sides of the political spectrum agree that President Obama is a failure. Conservatives see him for the committed leftist he is and are pushing back as hard as we can against his camel’s-nose-under-the-tent agenda. The Marxist left sees him as a fraud for not driving us toward socialism as quickly as they’d hoped.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/direction_of_country-902.html

A significant to strong majority is now united in the opinion that Mr. Obama isn’t very good at his job. I know it’s not what he intended, but you can’t always have things your own way.

Thanks for explaining your lack of reasoning ability – delusional paranoia (Secret meetings??). The Administration offered federal grants to artists to make propaganda supporting President Obama and his policies and Democrats go so far as to issue must-use buzzwords to any federal office-holder who will be speaking to the media (as was unwittingly revealed by Sen. Schumer earlier this year) in order to scare people away from the Republicans and into the open tentacles of their party, but the Republicans are the secret plotters. Whatever.

Democrats’ success hinges upon maintaining a pliant and scared populace who are dependent upon an ineffective government. As long as the policies they enact are ineffective, they can claim they’re needed to watch out for all of us inept proles. Evidence? We spend over a trillion dollars annually on social welfare programs which, over the course of nearly 5 decades, have done nothing to budge the percentage of poor families in America – and the Democrats’ solution is to throw more and more money at the problem (paying the poor to remain poor and dependent upon government) rather than deal with the institutional causes of poverty – i.e.: people who finish high school and wait until marriage to have children – even if they later divorce – are far less likely to be poor. The ideal federal government for leftists is ubiquitous and authoritarian.

The success of the Republican party is dependent upon free people exercising their individual liberty and owning the rights to their own ingenuity in order to better their own lives, thus putting themselves in a position to help others in their communities and beyond. The ideal federal government for conservatives is stable, predictable and nearly insignificant.

I don’t disagree with the points you make but they really don’t contradict what I said in my original post, I can clearly remember president’s back to Johnson, I think that I was 6 or 7 years old when Kennedy was shot.  I never remember a president so disparaging those whom disagree with him.  Look to Bush, as much as the left hated Bush, and as much as they fought against him, he never disparaged them as Obama does republicans.  He has told latinos that republicans are their enemies, he has told the elderly that republicans want to take away their SS and medicare (which is untrue).  He has told the He has told America that they don’t want America to have jobs otherwise they would pass his bill that he does not even have his parties support for…  He has not just done these things once but he has done so repeatedly.  I am too tired to search for examples, but there are plenty.

I have never seen this in a president and I am afraid of lasting damage when he loses his bid for re-election as he and his party have been comfortable with the racism charges against the right that abound around this president, the sad thing is that many people believe those charges to be valid and will feel that was a major cause for him to lose re-election.  These wounds he opens are not so easily healed, if the latino’s do buy into the republicans are our enemies, if blacks believe that the only reason the president was denied a second term, it will deepen the divide that the president seems to willing to open. I really think that it goes back to his training and the skill set he developed as a community organizer, that was his job, to rally people together against oppression.  That is his skill set, but it does not serve the country from the office of the POTUS. 

You forgot in that time period that CEO pay has gone up 300%, but real wages have stayed stagnant.  The Republican want this situation to grow worse, so more and more people fall into poverty.   This means less power to the people, so they don’t have much power and will be easily controlled by the fascist corporate controlled government.  Why do you think they cheered the citizens united decision.  They love Corporate personhood.   

They don’t want individual liberty they want corporate liberty. They’re even trying to suppress voting rights. It’s time you wake up.

I believe that it was tabled in the Senate, it seems that there are several hundred house bills tabled in the senate.  Yoda your side is not serious about governing, they are serious about spending on just about any bill that comes before them, every time that Harry Reid finds opposition to a spending measure he almost breaks down into tears….  Where is his budget, does not seem that if he was serious in meeting the responsibilities of his office that he would produce a budget as he is charged to do?  Why does he feel he is above such nonsense as a budget?

Which President said, “I won,” and shut an entire party out of negotiations over a vastly unpopular health care bill?

Look at the state of the country after 3 years of President Obama. A HUGE majority of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction and most don’t think Obama deserves a second term or will be re-elected. Why? Because his leadership, if it can be called such, has been a quintessentially inept disaster. Anyone who doesn’t want another 4 years of this would, of course, wish to prevent a second Obama term. Those people want America to succeed and don’t see it happening with an elitist rhetorician – who doesn’t like the dirty business of working – sitting in the Oval Office with no jacket or tie and his feet up on the Resolute desk. Since the day he was inaugurated, he has shown that he is not to be taken seriously as a leader. I can’t imagine why anyone who has eyes to see and a brain to comprehend would spend time defending what he has done to this country.

Refusing to tax the wealthy? The top 10% of wage earners pay 50% of all federal income tax. How they do that while paying no tax, I’ll never know. Perhaps you could explain it to me.

For your information spending bills start in the House.  When you’re talking about crying I think you must be referring to the Speaker of the House John “shed a tear” Boehner.  Your side ran on creating jobs in 2010 and they have yet to pass a jobs bills.  

why are you a princess? is it because you were touched by your daddy in your no-no place as a child?

whoislloydc@gmail:disqus .com

it is a far right wing extremist website

it is no different than a union website

speaking of touch, an i touch your poosey?

whoislloydc@gmail:disqus .com

I completely agree with you, Fedup. My reply was mostly tongue-in-cheek. I’m not as experienced as you – I can only remember back to the waning days of the Ford administration – but I have followed politics since Reagan’s second term and have no memory of any President calling out his political opponents (both elected and private citizens) by name and branding them “enemies.”

America was more divided than ever before Obama was elected. His inflammatory rhetoric has widened that gap exponentially.

When you say President Obama is the divisive one how do you explain Mitch McConnell publicly stating that “his top priority is to make sure Obama is a one term president”  We have an economy in the tank, two wars we are fighting and his first priority is to see to it Obama is not reelected?  Please if that does not demonstrate the true colors of our republican leaders what does.  Unfortunately we all have very short memories.  We seem to have forgotten what party got us into this fiscal mess in the first place with two unfunded wars1.3 trillion, unfunded tax reduction 1.6 trillion, higher interest on the debt 1.4 trillion, 2003 unfunded prescription drug plan 300 billion, lost tax revenue as a result of lost jobs since 2007. Thanks to G W Bush and Dick Cheney are country is in the tank and Obama has been trying to bail out the sinking boat every since he got into office. I for one don’t want to go back to what got us here in the first place.

If you take out all of the talking points in your statement it would be empty.  Gotta love parrots!

If Ryan spins any faster, he will take flight.

I see a Michael Steele redoux in the making. Republicans spinning and putting its message together in nicely and intellectually worded sentences and Cain de-articulating it back to its real intended spirit

Few Democrats survive healthcare vote

11/02/10 11:00 PM ET

Democrats who voted for their party’s signature domestic
achievement dropped like flies throughout the evening, adding
credence to Republicans’ claim that the American public wants them to
repeal healthcare reform.

The law’s proponents read the writing on the wall early on and
acted quickly to pre-empt that impression.

Things quickly went downhill from there.

Within hours, a dozen members had lost reelection, including four
freshmen elected in the 2008 Democratic wave: Reps. Tom Perriello and
Glenn Nye of Virgina and Suzanne Kosmas and Alan Grayson of Florida.

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH The one question I would like answered is what barriers is he talking about  “lower the barriers”
Ryan argued that the Republican position is to “lower the barriers” for
Americans who want to rise and make “upward mobility” easier for
everyone, instead of adding new barriers. 
 WHAT ARE THE  BARRIERS IS HE TALKING ABOUT?????????

Trying beginning a simple food cart operation; the barriers will become self evident.

Paul Ryan sends Wall St criminals a big wet ass kiss!

Wisconsin, if you love your country, get this corporate tool outta Washington!

Paul Ryan is ARTICULATE

i do know this, i do not want more trickle down voodoo economics, god forbid another fascist republican gets back in office, lord please anything but that

we wont need meicare when americans force universal healthcare my friend, live with it, majority rules rather you like it or not,

no son america is devided already, just like in cival war days, all its gona take is some dumb ass tea bagger to pull one of them guns he toats around at there rallies and shits gona hit the fence, then the silent majority is gona take a monster shit all over them, so if you think your gun toating fake patriots can winn the day, go for it

your about one sick mother fucker Lloyde

Hate to be the one to tell you, but the Tea Party was formed by community organizing. They are rather proud of it.

Rep. Paul Ryan: President Obama Has ‘Broken His Promise As A Uniter And Now He’s Dividing People”

Truer words were never spoken. Will the Party of unity please step up to the plate and refuse to nominate Obama?

Ryan frustrates Liberals who find it difficult to debate him so they just jump up and down waving their arms in the air while calling him names they don’t understand.

Well said!

But it remains a fact that Americans elected Barack Obama as President not to point fingers but to do a job and, as it turns out, he’s completely inept. He hasn’t fixed a single thing and has made much of it worse.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1011/65514.html

It seems to me that ensuring Mr. Obama only serves one term is, by far, the best thing we can do for the US economy.

Feel free to refute me.

What a fallacy you spin there…

The Repubs have their main, and really ony goal, to make Obama a one term pres. So, it is quite easy to reply to Ryan that saying Obama is the divider not only laughable, but provably incorrect.

Ryan is a complete tool and I have full understanding of what I mean when I say that.

Dem4Eve2, you are a complete doobly sucking scuzzlebutt. I don’t know what that means but I am confident you are one.

Fact: The fact remains the same Obama will be a one
term wonder boy! 100% guarantee he will be gone after 2012 elections!

Fact: ditto!

Fact: What barriers. The ones that cause people and corporations
to hide funds instead of investing them here in America due to the liberal obsession
for taxing and promoting anti-business regulations!

I don’t care about CEO salaries because I accept the reality that life is unfair. It is sad when one of those CEOs is incompetent and takes the company down, but normally, the higher salary acts as an insurance policy against ineptitude.

There is no way to force force fairness and equality on the people. Governments who have tried have created even greater disparity by eliminating the middle class altogether. The USSR had the government class and everyone else. The proles were completely impoverished, but they were equal.

Real wages have remained stagnant but the cost of goods and services and the size of families have decreased. Thus, the actual cost of living has also decreased. Americans we consider poor today are better off than most of the middle class was 30 years ago because of the corporations you deem evil. 

Sadly, you are unable to grasp the irony that is a person railing against the evil corporations as sitting in a home made of parts created by evil corporations which is heated and lit with energy created by an evil corporation, typing on a computer the componenets of which were invented and built by hundreds of evil corporations which uses software created by an evil corporation on a website that is free due to ads supporting evil corporations.

You act as if the corporations do nothing for the people when, in fact, they employ millions upon millions of them. Even if you’re self-employed, you are reliant upon the existence and success of literally hundreds of evil corporations. Want to make a real anti-corporate statement? Go into the woods, build a hut of twigs, mud and leaves, and procure your food with a stick you broke off a tree with your hands and sharpened on a rock. Corporations have made it possible for smart people with good ideas to improve the lives of millions of people, yourself included.  

Fact: Good for the Tea Party to see thru the Obama execution of the Cloward
and Piven plan!

The Senate has gone about 900 days since it last passed a budget. The House has passed several budgets this past year but none of them has come up for a vote in the Senate.

in the Obamacare bill, the DEMOCRATS are the ones who slashed 500million out of the Medicare budget. Last thing I knew, no Republicans voted for it.  DUH Leedog, get your head out of Obama’s ass, and live in the real world.

Corporate power has gone out of control.  A CEOs goal is to maximize profits no matter what, but if company goes down the tubes the CEO leaves with a handsome severance package, so either way they win.  Absolute power corrupts Absolutely.  Regulations have to be put in place to stop them from having so much power over the government and the people. Fascism is not good for the people or small businesses.  

Real wages have stayed stagnant now you need 2 -3 jobs to stay middle class for most families.  The cost of living has been going up at a lot faster rate than wages. 

A lot of stuff that you say corporations invented were actually created by the government or they were government funded because corporations don’t want to take a loss on something that may not work for them.  

You worry about the government but you don’t worry about who is controlling the government.  Look at the bank bail out and too big to fail.  That’s corporations that get out of hand.

BHO is the worst divider of all POTUS.  He has nothing to run on except class warfare.  I resent it tremendously.  From another minority.

Mr Ryan is a fine one to be lecturing on who has worked to divide this country.  What a blatant pile of intellectual dishonesty.

Lawrence O’Donnell hardly speaks for most Americans, let alone liberals.  How many conservative commentators have apologized for their inflammatory racial comments?   Or are you willing to make the ridiculous statement that they haven’t made any?

far right wing extremists won’t mention that they are lapdogs of wall street even tea party people are down on #OWS. 
they won’t tell you that

the tea party people, the real average tea party people, see that wealth is being extracted from america and no one is being held accountable.

this coming from an anonymous blip on the internet? uhuh

whoislloydc@gmail.com

i lvoe how impertinent judges people exclusively by if they serve or not

yet.. bush =and cheney both never went when their name was called.

hmm

biased much??

thats how you know he’s a far right wing extremist.

I assume he’s referring to lowering taxes on corporations, you know, “the job creators”.

It’ very hard to understand how he does so with a straight face. I’m beginning to think there’s a certain degree of sociopathology required to be a member of the House.

So it’s wrong to speak up when things are effed up. Great American attitude you’ve got there.

The 44th President is Damned if He Does & Damned He Doesn’t http://wp.me/p1Jt6N-9h /via @wordpressdotcom

Your “2-3 jobs to stay middle class” claim can only be based on the assumption that the middle class is composed almost entirely of unskilled, minimum wage earners who will never earn anything but minimum wage. Millions of families get by comfortably on a single salary. My neighborhood is full of them. Most minimum wage earners are unskilled but will quickly gain skill and experience and move beyond that minimum wage job. Would you like evidence? Have you ever earned minimum wage? Do you still earn minimum wage? There you go.

We don’t know who invented the house but it’s likely it has been around longer than government. Electric light was invented by Thomas Edison who was not a government employee. Steam power, which creates most of the electricity in the US, dates back to the first century and was also not created using government subsidies. The government didn’t invent any of the means of communication that evolved into computers and the internet – typewriter, radio, television, telephone - nor did government invent the vacuum tube, the transistor chip or the silicon chip. Every medical medical and pharmaceutical innovation has been conceived, invented and developed by private companies.

I couldn’t disagree more about companies’ unwillingness to take risk and potentially sacrifice profits to bring about a new product. Corporations worldwide spend trillions of dollars every year researching and developing new products and technologies while government technology stagnates. Didn’t President Obama just shut down our space program in part because the Space Shuttle was 70s era tech? But private companies are developing new space travel technology without government aid and doing it for a lot less than it would cost if it was funded by taxpayers.

I do agree that companies shouldn’t provide such lavish severance packages to CEOs who have failed. But you ignore the fact that companies which turn an honest profit benefit everyone. If you have money in the bank, profitable companies pay the interest on your savings account. If you have a 401(k) or IRA, profitable companies grow your balance and help ensure a more abundant retirement. If you buy anything, profitable companies work to provide you with a quality product at the lowest possible price.

It is hilarious that you assume corporations sole purpose is to rip off the little guy when that little guy gets to vote with his dollars hundreds of times every week. But, in contrast, the noble politicians who are only accountable to those they represent once every couple of years – and appointed bureaucrats who are never held accountable – have your best interest at heart. This flies in the face of reason.

When a company actually does mess with its customers and create dissatisfaction, the customers can just go buy products from another company. Not so with the government. Compare the service you get at UPS of FedEx to the USPS, or your Doctor’s office to the DMV. Private industry is superior in every way precisely because they must answer to their customers all day, every day and one bad experience can drive away a customer and everyone he knows for life. If I don’t like the way my elected Representative votes, I can write him a letter or show up at a town hall meeting to express my disapproval, but I don’t get to swap him out for one who will better represent my needs until the next election rolls around.

You don’t worry enough about the government. They are inept at nearly everything they do – they have never created an effective program that does what it is intended to do at the projected cost. Government programs normally make things worse at a cost exponentially higher than their authors project - and you want to give them more money and more power. Ever hear of a federal project coming in ahead of schedule and under budget? That’s okay. Neither has anyone else.

On a federal level, government should only take care of the responsibilities which the Constitution has ennumerated. Everything else, and I do mean everything, can and should be run by the states and private industry.

I love it when I hit a raw nerve.  Thank you for making my day…LOL

It took 8 paragraphs to explain to me how misinformed you are.  I don’t have the time to re-educate you on all your distorted views.  

Studies have shown that middle class now requires you to have 2-3 jobs to stay in the middle class.  This doesn’t mean minimum wage either. Just because you look at your neighborhood and you notice most people have one job that doesn’t make it true for the majority of the middle class.   Just because I see a BMW drive by that doesn’t mean everybody drives a BMW.  Have heard about unbiased samples?   

Government funded foundations and universities have carried out a lot of medical research.  I think you forgot about NASA who has invented a lot of technologies we use today.  The Internet was a project developed through research that was government funded. A lot of those inventions you talk about were invented by a single person and lot of those were assisted with government help. 

When you say “Every” that tells me you either don’t know or you’re just making things up.  Most things are rarely that black and white and it requires some critical thinking.  

Once again, you have failed the reading comprehension portion of the exam. I’m becoming exceptionally disappointed in your lack of effort. We may have to hold you back again. 

You know I’m right.  I hope I can further educate you on what is really going on in future debates.  

I know you’re a committed communist who has no grasp of cause and effect.

I’m sure you don’t even know what a communist is.  

Obammy is a dividing moron, vote out in 2012
