Simple solutions for a complex problems is irresponsible. And of course, Sarah can talk a lot of crap about crap, but she doesn’t give any details for what CRAP she would cut. And we already know that tbaggers want to cut programs for the poor, the sick, the elderly and maintain tax cuts for the rich. So, details Sarah?? Are you going after SS, Medicar and Medicaid or just the crap that services children’s (health care, nutrition, education)?? What is CRAP to SARAH is food, clothing and shelter to about 100mn people in America.

Bravo!

Bravo!

Carman, you nailed it…too many folks believe they have “simple solutions” to complex problems.

Dummies with a little knowledge can be tiresome because of their illusory superiority.

 GREAT POST! STRAIGHT AND TO THE POINT! WHICH MEANS FALIN PALIN CAN”T ANSWER ANY OF IT!

It is amazing how the superior minds of progressives and take a simple problem and make it so complex.

You mean the CRAP that the democrats have created with their hand outs to people that they want to keep down and out. The CRAP that Obama handed this nation by playing class warfare, which appears has worked on you. Your mentality is what keeps this nation in ruins! Get your head out of your CRAPER and maybe just maybe this nation will get back to the morals and work eithics thst it was founded on. CLASS WARFARE is what Obama will campaign on because 1) he surely can’t run on his distractive record and 2) he know that this nation has a lot of dumb down Americans which Dems helped create!

Why on earth is anyone treating this narcissistic liar and quitter like a viable candidate?  She is dumber than a rock – though admittedly media savvy — doesn’t have a clue about what’s important to Americans and her history of lies, lies, and more lies is well-documented.  Hell, her movie flopped like a pile of rocks so she’s even losing her so-called base.

who will be the first to expose the Trig Truth?   http://www.politicususa.com/en/sarah-palin-myths  http://www.businessinsider.com/new-sarah-palin-photos-trig-pregnant-2011-8

Go on you Palinphiles – I dare you to learn the truth about your Goddess … oh, and guess what? Neither Geoffrey Dunn (author of the Lies of Sarah Palin) nor Frank Bailey has been sued by the Princess … gee, I wonder why — um maybe b/c even Sarah knows that the best defense to libel is, well, the TRUTH, and lord knows, the way that Palin consistently makes her own stuff up, she wouldn’t know the truth if it hit her in the head.

Complex solutions for simple problems is insanity.

I suppose you are a 911 truther too.

Ah Sarah, ever the elegant and classy wordsmith. 
However, wouldn’t manure be the proper term in this venue?  This is the Iowa state fair not the Alaska Fur Rendezvous

“Cut the crap and balance” – how typically profound from the Alaskan hillbilly.

Such an embarrassment to our country, both Hannity and Palin.  Last I checked, the only thing the American people clearly told them during the debt debate is that there should be new revenues and fair taxes on the wealthy in the next budget.  Funny how she doesn’t mention that and Hacknitty doesn’t challenge her, since it goes against their talking points.

Great example od ” DUMB DOWN” American. Thanks for making my case!

it keeps getting weirder and weirder..

It would be wise of the 51% who voted this low performer into the presidency to watch this and make a “wise and informed choice” in the 2012 election.  Vote for conservative Governor Rick Perry!

If a Democrats house is on fire, they’ll call a friend, who schedules a meeting, where the neighborhood will get a concensus, then hold a vote to decide who should call the fire dept.

Democrats make everything more difficult on purpose because they think it makes themlook more important.

Oh, boo hissssss!  Settle down and listen to what each has to say. You can’t honestly believe that Obama has done anything great for America!!!!  If the democrats have their way, everyone will be standing in line for a handout, farmers will get even larger subsidies, welfare people will get more vouchers, medicaid will  send people for all the little stuff that isn’t necessary in the first place “oh, doctor, I have this rash” type nonsense. Can you honestly say that what has been happening here is not CRAP (as you put it)????

These dumb down americans also believe that Obama is ” the brilliant one”. Spoon fed by the Soros media and regurgitated as directed too. Tell me thst this nation isn’t in trouble. 52 % has fallen for the biggest scam put forth on this nation, Obama. No wonder Obama and the Dems give so much money to education. They’re producing these regurgitating parrots!

Oh well, the rich continue to win and the rest of america continues to be their slaves Thanks GOP and teabaggers, Im ready to burn this whole place down.

Seems like you could be alittle afraid of a woman..or jealous of what she has accomplished. You know, it doesn’t hurt to give people a chance to say what they’d like on our wonderful live “television”.  After all, isn’t that the American way of fairness.  We have to listen to all the others. Be open-minded and less judging of a person before you get all fuzzed up about who is who.  She may just surprise you. No need to downgrade and name call this early in the election of candidates. Be fair!!

I see what she did there.  She inserted an ‘r’ between the ‘c’ and ‘a’ in cap.  Ahhh, I get it!  That’s funny.  And who said chics ain’t funny?

Another women who can’t stand it.  Come on, if she can’t do anything to please you…..what can you do??

Do you always talk with a mouth full of shit?

http://www.aim.org/on-target-blog/cnn-poll-americans-like-balanced-budget-amendment/

Simple solution. let all those wealthy democrats who want to raise taxes go ahead and send in as much money as you can spare. Give till it hurts. But they won’t do that because they want to spend other peoples money, not theirs. 50% of voters want to raise taxes, the 50% who don’t pay any taxes!!! Those of us who do pay taxes are sick and tired of our money being handed out to foreign governments, people on welfare who don’t want to work or are on drugs. The FED has overstepped it’s limited powers. Provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty. 

Amazing how you so called Americans can judge so quickly. You don’t know a thing about what she stands for, or where she would like to be.  How do you know that she’ll even run yet?  Your all running scared already.

Some are scared of her potential, others hate her even though they don’t need to listen to her. Some people hate just to hate.

Class warfare! Go to work and stop trying to be the victim. Obama is trying to ignite a class warfare fight in the streets. He would like it if the u.s broke out into civil war so then he could declare Marshal Law. Can’t believe you guys are this dumb to fall for what Obama really wants for this nation. To busy bad mouthing Palin when Obama is taking this nation down. Too stupid to figure it out. A product of the Dems educational system! Put a fork in us, we’re done!

The funniest thing about “cut the crap and balance” is the picture of all the corrupt Senators justifying all their “crap” spending.

The biggest problem I have with Sarah is that she doesn’t really feel that knowledable about any of this stuff she’s talking about. Does that mean I think she’s an idiot? No. She’s a human being who got caught up in a machine that she’s let herself become a part of.

If you ask any of the people who have actually studied the debt, they tell you, point blank, reform and tax rises are both parts of making the system work. If anyone tells you otherwise, they are delusional.

Let’s see…

The banking system was stabilized with TARP, which was a Bush/Obama bailout program. GM turned itself around thanks to government intervention. We avoided the great recession from being worse thanks to Stimulus, which did include tax cuts. And overall, Democrats objectives are not to increase the entitlement state, I don’t understand where that comes from.

If you are so into the truth watch the documentary, We will not be silenced. By liberal Dem Gigi Gaston.
It shows rampant voter fraud by tho Obama campaaign v.s Hillay Clinton in 2008.

Obama was selectd not elected. 

Palin nails it again !!!!  And she managed to do it WITHOUT reading somebody else’s words from an idiot-box teleprompter !!!!!

That is all this woman is capable of snappy—one liners to get on the next news cycle…I don’t know why any attention is paid to this Alaska hillbilly, the media plays right into her hands, and it helps no one but her..From Perry’s speech, he is going to be a male Palin, Give me another AMEN BROTHER, and nothing to solve problems of the country……

You don’t make any sense.  Want to try again?

All of the above needs cut….CarmanK.The Federal government was only meant to protect us from our enemies (Progressives/Socialists included).They have injected themselves into every facet in our lives…..and it is time to kick their asses out.First….the self-serving politicians need to be replaced with Patriots who have taken a platform of serving rather than RULING.Then the DOE and the EPA need to be abolished (OSHA is an expensive….useless joke)…and almost ALL of the other “enforcement” agencies need to go.Eric Holder and all of those who have failed in their duties need to be arrested and tried for dereliction of duty.If you don’t agree….then you, sir/ma’am….are a Socialist and belong on a one-way-only Chinese Junk.Deal with it.

Uh….  I am going to tell you otherwise…  you left out by far the largest part of the equation, SPENDING CUTS!  The baseline of the Federal budget grows at something like 8% per year, with out any budgetary justification, these guys are just too lazy to do their jobs, and why should they?  It’s not their money and we have shown a propensity to sending them back to DC term after term….  at that rate government will continue to grow much faster than will our economy consider that for a few moments, this is insanity in it’s purest form. .. 

Make your representatives do the hard work of putting this country on a sound path and stop accepting their poll tested one or two line answers designed to deflect the reality that are not doing the hard work of cleaning up their budgets or our tax codes that would put us back on a path to financial solvency..  They are farming out their responsibilities to staff and interest groups who are working in their own interest.

It’s like her …. “We’re here, we’re clear” (instead of queer). She’s as clever as a grade schooler.

I’d like to hear Palin justify cuts to services for special needs children and adults.

She claimed she was going to be an advocate for special needs citizens, but maybe that was only going to happen if she became VP… 

She’s good at talking smack about people and she’s good at making broad, general statements, but she hasn’t got a clue what she’s talking about or how to actually address the issues. It’s easy to be a critic. It’s much more difficult to be part of a solution. Palin doesn’t have what it takes to be the latter.

Anyone who thinks figuring out how to best fund and govern a nation as diverse as the USA is a “simple problem” doesn’t understand the actual problem.

That’s right, cut the crap and stop federal subsidies to the State of Alaska. Let them pull their own weight. Or elect a Governor that can show them the way.

We didn’t avoid anything as we are living in the great recession/depression, the only reason that the numbers seem different is that our government has changed the manor in which it reports on itself.  The Bailout of GM and Chrysler was about as corrupt a deal as the president could have made…  on several levels.. 

You do not mention the Fed printing somewhere between 7 and 12 trillion dollars that no-one seems to know where it went to…  As far as the entitlement state, My guess is, and forgive me if I am wrong, that you are young, there is much for you to learn that your educators have chosen not to teach you,

Comments like yours are the reason Florida is a laughing-stock every election cycle.  The debt is an intricate issue layered with a myriad of complexities you can not even begin to comprehend.

Of course she does.  You didn’t watch the video.  She gave more specifics in a few minutes than Obama has given in the entire budget debate.

Ignoring the absurd Obama statement, if you replace “democrats” with republicans in your statement, it would be correct.

Quick? Don’t know a thing about what she stands for?

The nation has had 3 years of Palin’s lies and hypocrisy to absorb… and that doesn’t count the time she was pretending to be governor of Alaska and mayor of Wasilla. 
The folks who seem to be unaware of Palin’s actual history are those who support her the most stridently. They appear eager to swallow the mythology and become hysterically and sometimes violently upset when the reality doesn’t line up… which is one reason they’re so frequently upset and send those who burst their bubbles such angry and threatening emails.

She’s still the biggest “Pants on Fire” liar ever on Politifact.

Thankyou, as you have just described my biggest objection to president Obama, your last paragraph could not better describe my feelings towards our president.

Speaking of simple problems, how come Sarah Palin doesn’t know there are 12 members on the super commission/congress, and not 10, like she says? And we’re supposed to listen to her expertise on the economy? And of course Hannity doesn’t correct her.

Short.  Articulate.  Republican-cultured.  Impressive.

I understand much more than you would think, I have looked at the problems in several ways, read CBO reports, and committee findings…  bottomline is that we can face our problems and issues now as adults while we still have time to have some control of the impact of our history of irresponsible governance, or we just keep moving ahead as if the problems are only the imagination of rightwing creatons, until we hit a wall and have little choice in the corrective measures we take as they will be determined by realities that our government will not have the ability to control..  People such as yourself don’t seem to understand the problem and in refusing to deal with the largest drivers of the problem will only make it worse.

I hardly think that you have enough information about me to determine who “people such as” myself are… or what I know or have done. 

The debt is absolutely an issue… but you don’t pay off your credit cards when you can’t afford rent. You focus on rent, pay what you can toward the debt, and when you are making enough money to get ahead on your cards, you do so. 

Before anyone screams “cut up the credit cards,” I have to ask them what they do when they have an emergency. Do they borrow money to deal with it or do they just hope it goes away while they pay toward something else?

FWIW, I’ve run for public office twice and came in 2nd in three-way races in each case. The Democratic incumbents, unsurprisingly, won.

Republicans seem to like the quick, simple sound bite, perhaps because that reflects the attention span and understanding of the American people? But as long as Fox News pushes this crap on people, they are contributing to the misinformation and dumbing down.  I really don’t understand the motivation of these people?  Hatred for Obama? Hatred of liberals?  Social issues, like abortion and gay marriage?  Or is it that they have all bought the Supply Side economic theory (reduced taxes actually brings increased revenues!) hook, line and sinker?  They need to research the origins of this theory and then read up on how it hasn’t worked.  Do they want the economy to tank even more??

That’s just plain dumb.  That’s an analogy to nothing.  However, Democrats believe in public-funded fire departments so the fire department will put out anybody’s fire. Republicans would like privatized fire departments so if you don’t pay your fees, they won’t put out your fire.  That’s happened to someone already.

If Palin doesn’t run for President, she [and her ghostwriter] could always start her [their] own sloganeering company.  Docturd Frank Luntz can poll test all their stuff, too!

Cut The Crap And Balance

AH  SARAH,  once again you show your intellectual wisdom

Fantastic video of suave, handsome Sean Hannity speaking respectfully to Alaskan Aphrodite & American Athena Sarah Palin. Gorgeous Gov. Palin is right on economic issues, right on energy policy, right for the Presidency. Palin/2012!

I am hardly saying that there is no need for revenues in the equation, so we both make assumptions about the other.  I am well aware of the deficiencies of the Bush budgets.  Having said that spending remains the largest issue with the deficits, and the total lack of focus of Washington on waste and efficiency. 

For people like me it will not do to simply raise marginal rates in a corrupted system, total reform must accompany any increased revenues to the treasury through the tax code..  Overhaul can serve to lesson the impact of special interest on our political system while creating a more competitive environment for business and eliminating preference to individuals and businesses through a system of credits and subsidies.  This is the hard work that I want to see done in Washington, if they choose not to do this work then in my mind they do not deserve one thin dime of additional revenues.

Lastly if the entitlement programs are not addressed then they will not continue to exist..  The so called SS trust fund is non existent as the monies have been long spent, last year the fund was subsidized by the general operating fund and we will continue to see this into the future..  When our government tells us that the fund is solvent till 2037 that is just plain BS as they are counting on the non-existant securities (IOUs) that the fund suposidly holds in reserve.  With 75 million retirees coming into the system over the next 10 years it is in trouble, the CBO reports that the annual deficiencies of fund revenues to expenditures will reach 1.2% of GDP by 2021….  Worst thing is is that Social Security is in much better shape than is Medicare… 

So when I say that the solutions are simple they really are, send people to DC that you will hold accountable to do their friggin jobs, have an expectation that they will do the work of the American people and not the work of Special Interest or their own advancement…  There is much work to be done in DC and it is about time that the 535 aholes we have sent there get down to getting it done!

But if we cut the crap, where will poor Sarah go?

another c4p idolater

Isn’t Sean the dreamiest?  Couldn’t you just lick his big, throbbing Hannity and swallow his Colmes? 

Other Palin solutions.

Illegal Immigration:  Just cut the crap and stop them from coming over.
Iran: Just cut the crap and make them stop their nuclear program.
Healthcare:  Just cut the crap and stop getting sick.
Russian Spies: Just cut the crap and put up a big wall so they can’t see you from their house and therefore know nothing about you.
Low Flow Toilets: Just cut the crap.

More simplistic, puerile rhetoric from Sarah Snarkmeister.

Actually that happened in Tennessee and it was not a private Fire Department but rather a municipal Fire Department that watched as a home located in the county burned to the ground because the homeowner had not paid a $75 fee that would have extended the city fire coverage area to his rural county home.

Creepy Palin lickspittle, Stoneyjack.  Always delights.   

Congratulations to sarie – the moron actually learned another oneliner!  Wonder if it all fit on the palm of her hand?  We just could never make it if she didn’t keep on giving us all the amazing information. She’s gotta do something to change the subject from the failed miserably movie – she sure stopped talking about that – now that would be a lot of crap to talk about.  Hey sarie – wasilla calls.

Are you sure that she was not just making a simple point…  besides I think that 10 Iowians can probably out think 12 Federal Legislators, she was just trying to keep the scale balanced. 

You said nothing- are you Rick Scott?

Oh thankyou for that wise Tedderman, but really the issue is much more simple than you progressives imagine it to be…  but just keep encouraging your party to make things much tougher than they need be.

distractive record?  You’re one of the “dumb down” (sic) Americans you’re writing about.

No Republicans think every thing is simple because they are- simple minded.

How could the little seanie correct her when he doesn’t know!

Please get your meds refilled- NOW. OSHA is useless? You are useless but OSHA is not. OSHA
saves millions of lives that greedy repugnants would poison to make more money for themselves.
I hope you haven’t reproduced and polluted our gene pool even more than it is already with people like Palin, Bachmann, Boehner, McConnell polluting our country with their bad seed.

Oh wise Adler…  please tell me where do we go from here…  Tax the rich?  OK got that one, do you have any other plan to fix America’s ills?

They’re just racists who use any excuse to cover it up with BS talk about “issues”.  They need to just come out and admit they’re racist and can’t stand it that a black family lives in the White House.
In 15 years or less, whites may be the minority race- redneck’s heads are already exploding just thinking about it. Wait until President Jose Morales takes over as President of the USA.

So at a time when unemployment is ALREADY high, you would’ve done what? Let over 1 MILLION more jobs vanish by letting GM and Chrysler go down?

 That’s you’re “simple” solution?

–Cobra

Hmmm…when was the last time the budget was balanced?  Who was President then and what was the tax rate?

–Cobra

I swear that perky little grizzly mom can come up with the cutest sayings.  Wonder if she thinks them up all by herself. . . Sadly, it makes no sense, shows no intelligent thinking, or any knowledge of economics. Isn’t it time for her to call it a day. . . . I mean she is so empty, and narcissistic, and the tease time is over. No one cares what she does.  What an odd game she continues to play.  At least sean, the little frog, is there to drool over her.  I’ve got a one-liner for her. . .she doesn’t have a prayer’s chance in hell of ever becoming president.

fedup in florida–

i think taxing the rich should be included in any proposal right now

you don’t think we should even tax those making more than 1 million?

you would rather cut, say, homeless shelters than raise taxes on millionaires?

seriously?

Actually, most of the real working type people- even in the tea party, seem to want to cut spending that doesn’t affect them. Don’t mess with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid but do tax the very wealthy and large corporations more. It was something like 70% of those polled wanted their entitlements saved and wanted the tax rate raised for the very wealthy. It’s kind of like NIMBY. Don’t cut things that have a direct effect on them- do it to the other people.

Of course, Sarah Palin has no idea how to realistically do cuts and has no plan of any kind. Considering she wanted and signed the biggest tax increase on the oil companies in Alaska- I’m not sure she is the person who should be talking tax cuts. The oil companies are now finding it cheaper to look for oil in other states that don’t tax them as heavily as Alaska. Less money for Alaska as well as less jobs.

what would you have done?  

you sound like a smart guy, let’s hear it!

so you think there should be absolutely no tax increases?  none?

even alan simpson thinks grover norquist is a kook

so you think palin has a better approach?

please explain what that approach would entail, besides cuts to 
special needs children….

When it comes to Palin and Bachmann, Hannity is all hearts and flowers and rainbows. He practically flirts with them on-air.

I don’t think that I would have made the creditors of those two corporations who had hard money invested either in capital or goods and services settle for 10 cents on the dollar while making the unions who had a hand in the collaspe of their workplace whole.  Nor would I have set the stage for the sham of those two corporations to be able to appear to have paid us back when in all acutuality they did so with our own tax dollars..  You see Obama forced the backruptcy courts to pass through some 25 to 30 billion dollars in losses to be used against furture income…  Something that has never happened before and should be considered to be illegal..  But thanks to the president instead of paying taxes that were due to our treasury they took that tax liability and called it loan repayment…

Now as far as bailing them out… that is a hard call and I am glad that it was not mine to do but I would not do so a second time, and I will argue that the first time was dishonest in many ways.

that that even exists is not only stupid, but immoral

what if the fire spread beyond the property in question, and became much worse?

just as doctors should treat any patient, firemen should put out any fire

you seem to be defending this stupidity, this outrage, rather than admit that your
ridiculous ideology is cruel and unusual.  

 Watching Hannity & Palin is like watching two particularly stupid dogs lick each others balls

Why does the Palinstream media (Fox News) give this phoney woman so much airtime.  John McCain’s legacy will be that he brought this woman to the forefront of American politics.  What head was he thinking with in ’08?   

I hope Perry is smart enough not to put her on his ticket.  

Wouldn’t you? I would! And there’s probably a few people on this discussion thread that would back me up in my claim there…
Can I get a little help from you girls out there?

@Fedup in Florida- You say the solution to the debt problem is simple, then go on to say it’ s simply a matter of sending people to Washington who will “do their job”. That’s a cop out. The job of overhauling the tax code, entitlement programs and budgets is enormously complex and involves countless decisions, many of which will hurt some while helping others.

Sean wants to know if its “embarrassing” for America to be
in debt after “it has literally saved the world from fascism, Nazism,
communism, terrorism.”

I don’t know Sean, is it? 
It was debt that financed WWII and the rest of the battles you
mention.  In fact the US began its existence
in debt from the revolutionary war.  What
were those founding fathers thinking? 
How embarrassing! 

:-)

Can you show me where I said that… but I would not support the same increases that you would that is for sure, look down a few posts and find my conversation with Darklady and read it through till the end

A simple point is all she CAN make, and then gets it wrong. Can you HONESTLY say you would want this woman to be the President of the United States? (we’ll save the Obama bashing for later, plenty of time and space for that) You would entrust the most complex and complicated political position in the world to Sarah Palin? On the basis of what?

Don’t confuse people with the facts!

Darladoon said “you seem to be defending this stupidity, this outrage, rather than admit that yourridiculous ideology is cruel and unusual. ”

Darla, I defend nothing but make the point that she is wrong in her assumption that this was a private Fire Department, in fact I know of no business person who would have done such a thing as they probably would have been held liable not only would the be so cruel as you point out, but they would have unquestionably been held liable in civil court, but because government has broad protection against civil suit, they can do such things.  This is one rare moment where you and I are in total agreement, the Fire Department was making a statement to homeowners in the county to pay or else face the consequences that this poor family faced, it was disgraceful…  Those in a position to have made a different decision should have been fired!  Just because I want to see accountability in government does not mean that I am heartless or criminal, and I my mind what the city officials did was criminal.

No “distractive record” is what Obama and the Soros media has done to you dumb down americans They “distract” you with Palin to take the focus off of Obama the empty suit. So who really is the dumb down American? Too funny.

I hope you’re a paid blogger for Obama because if you’re still falling and defending Obama then youre just dumb.

OK, so who decides who dies when they can’t get medical care? Do you have any idea how many people would be in serious trouble without Medicare and Medicaid? Do you know how many who desperately need help that get denied Medicaid? Do you know how many depend on Social Security and have no other plan to help them in their old age? There are so many who have worked long and hard and have not been able to put anything away out of the paltry amount they have earned. They have no employer provided health care or if they do the cost is out of their price range. Unless they give up food or a roof over their head. So who do you take off the programs and who gets help? Perhaps Sarah Palin’s death panels will have to be empowered after all?

I remember one couple I met, lifelong Republicans, small business owners with health insurance they paid for themselves and offered to their one employee. Did all they were supposed to do. Then the wife was diagnosed with cancer and their insurance company of over 20 years dumped them. They went into tremendous debt with her treatments but they were working on paying their medical bills. Until he had a massive heart attack. No insurance and couldn’t work anymore. Lost the business, lost their paid for home and even lost their vehicles. When I met them they were living in a very small decrepit mobile home, collecting assistance and food stamps with an old small car that he had to constantly try to fix to keep it running. They ate 2 meals a day because they couldn’t afford 3. Their so-called “best years” were anything but. Hard working people who followed the “rules” and who were left with nothing because the insurance company they had paid into for years dumped them as soon as they needed the insurance. If they had not been able to access public assistance after they lost it all they would have lived- and died- on the streets. So who decides that these folks get kicked off because they have to cut Medicaid and food stamps?

What is even more frustrating about this mess is that man of the tea party candidates that were elected to the House are millionaires who don’t really care about those programs because THEY WILL NEVER NEED THEM! And these people are the ones who want to make cuts to the programs that help the poor and low income working stiffs. They won’t look at cutting subsidies to the oil companies and big business that are not creating jobs but are getting richer by the minute. They don’t want to pay more taxes out of THEIR pockets but they want to cut what little the poor have. Anyone who wants to do that or who supports that kind of policy should be forced into the same circumstances for awhile. I would love to see some of them having to eat on what poor people get in a month of Food Stamps. That would change their tune in a hurry.

How is the answer not simple?  I would suggest to you that your’s is the cop out by not expecting your elected officials to do their jobs in DC…  You are too accepting of the fact that they are bought and sold by special interst, that more than 50 percent of their time in Washington is spent soliciting campaign contributions for their offices and their party…  You seem to have no expectation of them to do the jobs they were sent to DC to do…  Are they keeping any of their campaign promises?  I am sure that they told you that if you send them there America was going to have a wonderful future….  So hold them to it! 

This is a very serious time for this country as the course of our nations future will be determined by what happens in DC over the next few years..  If your representative in Congress or your Senator is not serious minded about fixing our problems..  then I highly urge your district and state to send someone who is.

And he had payed the fee for years but because they don’t send out a reminder or bill, he forgot to pay it at the beginning of the year. He told them he would pay it and his neighbor whose house they were protecting offered them $500.00 on the spot to put out his neighbors fire and they refused. That makes absolutely no sense.

Ok now I know you’re just Plain dumb. So much for being a paid Obama blogger! Or maybe not, sounds a lot like the dumbs talking points. So good for you, because at least you have a job. Which 14 million Americans don’t, thanks to ” the brilliant one”. What a joke!

Your post is the biggest pile of horse pucky ever! I am so sick of people who can’t see the forest for the trees and try to make stupid claims about what the president has done. Your idiot is showing because that is not what Democrats want and you are swallowing the crap the jerk Republicans in office are fishing with. Hook, line and sinker you are taking their crap bait.

Actually I think that I said in an earlier post that I do not support her, but if I had to vote for her vs Obama Palin would get my vote, as Obama was even less equipped for the office and he is struggling with that fact now.  I ask you how is the President going to rebuild the economy?  I also suggest to you that his policies are getting in the way of his efforts and because of his lack of understanding he is unable to see this.  He is even losing the support of his own party because other than words he brings little to our problems…  he has no vision as to where to go from here..  Have you ever worked in a difficult workplace where management has no vision for a better tomorrow?  We are seeing this with our president.

Let’s not confuse “Nail’s It” with “Dumbs it down to an incoherant saying, and strips it off all content and context that would otherwise confuse me.”

Also, Palin is one of the biggest teleprompter addicts around – She even uses them for her youtube videos.  Look at the “blood libel” one, filmed in her livingroom.  Reflected in her glasses is….wait for it….a big ol’ teleprompter.

You know I kinda like you. You’re a comedian like the joker in the White House! Keep the laughs coming! you Dems have a knack for making us laugh!

thank you for this!

so palin has “vision”?

explain.

I mentioned that most Departments need to go….and as usual….a stupid liberal picks ONE to disagree with. I guess that means I am right on all the others.
OSHA is just another control-freak idea to set regulations which hinder private industry. Like Obama and “hope”…The original idea seemed sound but they have become a burdensome waste of money and a tool to choke small business.
Get a grip….idler56….and deal with the facts.
I worked in the private sector for 45 years and was witness to their choke hold..
Obama is simply a cancer and must be cut out and disposed of.
Only then can America be America again.
.

so you want to increase taxes?

yes or no?  and how much and on whom?

You’re so right – Obama really wants class warfare and to take down the rich.  That’s why he:
Extended the Bush Tax Cuts.
Refused to investigate or prosecute any of the wholesale malfeasance in the financial sector post 2008.
Has moved decisively on one issue only: bailing out wall street.
Refused to back single payer or public option in HCR which would have helped people not companies.
Allowed the banks to borrow federal money at almost zero interest via the Fed discount windown to the tune of hundred of billions.

You’re right, he must be a Muslim/Marxist, because he is so anti-corporate and anti-rich…

I thought you were stupid in one of your previous comments….Now I know you are.
“Racist”…..ROFLMAO!!!
Obama isn’t “black”….He’s  mulatto…..and you are dumbo,
Is Jose a Democrat or a Republican?
If the tea party has anything to say about it….both parties as they are…..will be moot.

You act as if we can choose to do nothing, I wish life were so simple…

”
The extended-baseline scenario adheres closely to current law, following CBO’s 10-year baseline budget projections through 2021 and then extending the baseline concept for the rest of the long-term projection period. Under that scenario, revenues would reach 23 percent of GDP by 2035—much higher than has typically been seen in recent decades—and larger percentages thereafter. Nevertheless, annual spending would be greater, and federal debt held by the public would grow from an estimated 69 percent of GDP this year to 84 percent by 2035. (At the end of 2008, that debt was equal to 40 percent of GDP.)

If you read my entire thread here, all of it, you may well see that some of the things I have said may seem reasonable to you…  But if you think that taxing the rich is some kind of answer I can tell you it is as poor of a solution as not raising the debt ceiling as it will do nothing to build an economy that will meet the needs of our people into the future.

I know Sarah Palin and have known who she was since the local TV station hired her to be a “sports reporter”. Yeah, she sucked at that too. She made the community, where I once lived, into a garish mask of it’s former self. Highways lined with big box stores and no plan for the runoff that has to occur every year so all that mess ended up polluting the once clean and beautiful Lake Lucille. She also cost Wasilla a bunch of money because she could not do the work that all the previous mayors had been able to do and had to hire a city manager to do the real work. Add to that her leaving Wasilla with a sports complex she had built on land that did not belong to the city, resulting in a seven year legal battle with the property owner that cost the city millions. Then she was appointed to the oil and gas commission which she quit because it resembled real work and only got elected because there were 6 political party candidates on the general election ballot. She only won because of that. 114,000 people voted for her- not a majority. If you pay attention, you find that the entire time she is being shown as presiding over legislative meetings he is on her blackberry and not even listening to what is going on around her. Plus she had all kinds of staff to do all the real work. She is a loser in my book and always will be. She would be the worst thing for America ever. 

Absolutely.  That way we all can go to stadiums to pray away unemployment, the deficit, crime, overcrowding — Not to mention pray the gay away, the minorities away.    Then we can all go shoot up some of those damn science books them libruls seem to like so much! 

You truly are mentally challenged if you think that.

Great ideas all! But why stop there?  Lets get rid of those nanny state liberal ideas like Child Labor laws.  Even robots can’t unjam the neumatic carvers in the slaughter house like the fingers of an 8 year old can! 

And speaking of slaughter houses, think about how much money and time we’d spend if the FDA was abolished!  Any patriot know that real Freedom means Freedom to get Salmonella, E Coli or Listeriosis.

And what could be more G*ddamn socialist than the fire department! Why should I pay to put out YOUR fires, commie!  Now excuse me, I just found out my niece like Glee, therefore is a clearly a dike.  Time for an honor killin’ ! (It’s in the Good book!)

Perry/Jesus 2012 !!!   

I’m actually responding to your most recent post, but Mediaite limits my ability to do so directly…

Once again, you do not know anything about me, so you do not know what I have or have not done related to this matter.

I will also point out that *I* am pretty pleased with how my reps in DC have been doing. I’m in Oregon and I’m largely pleased with our national representation. 

Darladoon

I want a complete overhaul of the Tax Code, something that reflects the 21st century and the Global economy and not the corrupted tax code of the 20th century..  and it would effect just about everyone as it lowers rates but gets rid of loopholes and special favor…

I do not think it to much to ask that everyone pitch in something to help this great nation to build it’s future.

And remind Adler that all of those jobs were lost under Obama.  I heard some lefty 5th columnist say we were shedding up to 80000 thousand jobs a month under Bush, but I know that’s just The Labor Department telling lies, damn lies!   Mr. Sean Hannity has convinced me that we had full employment and prosperity as far as the eye can see under Bush – It weren’t until that nasty Obama came in that the bottom dropped out!

Warning: Darladoon troll not as ignorant as appears.
 ’Ignoratio elenchi’

The one that knew he needed to give the conservatives a reason to vote for him.  He’s closer closer to Clinton than he is to Reagan, and Palin is our modern day Reagan in terms of how she views America and what the role of the People and government needs to be to keep America free and strong.

Is that what you do in your spare time?

It seems 95% of the people on this thread do also.

What do you need help with now, Benny, you old flirt? ;-)

You are wron g on everything. America the way you want it is just Mexico. Private enterprise makes the mob look good. Bigger crooks and thieves don’t exist in this country than private enterprise and bankers,

Oh, cry me a river! You must be joking is a good name for you. You’re just like Obama with his sob stories of isolated individuals which don’t reflect at all on the general public. If you progressives have your way, there’s not going to be enough money left for Medicare, Social Security, or many or other social programs because your liberal congressmen and President will have pissed it all away at the rate they’re going.

You’re so stupid you still don’t know that distractive is not a word. You also totally missed my attempt to corrrect your “dumb down”- It’s dumbed down moron. Did you drop out of school in 7th grade or 5th grade?

Just tell them how “fresh” I am…

FedupinFl.
The best idea for America is to deport or imprison all tea baggers and righty Republicans (that’s all of them these days). We can’t afford the losers who are rooting for America to fail to satisfy their racist
issues.

you must be talking about Obama & Biden, or Pelosi & Reid, or Gaithner & Bawnie Frank

As fresh as a Summers Eve ……. LMAO

no teleprompt, no pretenting and faking ,no photo ops, no leadership experience what so ever, huge on culture of character. Palin will mob Obama with the floor come 2012…
btw. how’s HOPE and GHANGE going on with you all  so far……

Palin really doesn’t have to even try to be an idiot does she?

Fact: Sarah Palin still has those progressive cult members scared in Iowa!

Fact: Your correct that she doesn’t make it as an idiot so that  must make her a great presidential candidate doesn’t it!

you must be talking about Obamur and his numerous promises to destroy America and her values.I know you are more than eager to swallow all facts about the destroyer in chief .
FOCUS upon WHO’S HAND s are handling the ecconomy, Palin has never lift a finger to cause all turmoil  and chaos from economy to foreign affairs to social affairs to national security…well I feel bad, O was never equiped and trained for any of these monumental tasks 

Fact: Okay next? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fact; It was way before the gold starndard changed maybe pre 1920′s?

Fact: Co-mingling with the budget was a good mayor
before Palin? You are a little bit of a weak minded one right?

lets try the “death panel “

Fact: Members of city should have a multi body of people to manage ones money supply not just the jack of all trades one guy does it all mayor. Co-mingling!

Let me tell you something, friend, you don’t know Jack or Shit about me, so don’t even pretend to have a clue. 

I am not talking about President Obama. The topic on this page is Sarah Palin. It was opined that it is ignorance that keeps her critics from loving her. I assured that such is not the case. 

You, however, appear to be quite unclear about Palin’s brief but chaotic romp as a mayor and temporary governor. 

Instead, you appear to have inhaled the fumes of the Palin mythology, which puts her to the right hand of Jesus and maybe six inches behind him… and gaining. 

And if you “feel bad” for Obama, think how I, a professional writer and editor, feel about being lectured by someone with such a flexible grasp of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and logic. 

Fact: That was your best effort in a talk down. HA!  Sarah Palin is coming too a town near you and you are scared! Plus you have a few sheep on you wagon. BBBBAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

She got 4 votes in the straw poll.

but Reagan was never a quitter.

That is good to know.  Take care.

That’s the best you can do..  you want me arrested because I can better think through issues and articulate better than you can?  OK I am here in Sunny Florida, when you come don’t knock, just walk in through the front door.  I will be waiting. 

Fact: Write in votes are great! WhooHoo not even a candidate yet and getting votes!!!

 I take it there is no amount of debt that is too much debt for you. If we would have paid off the debt after WWII there would be almost no debt now, because compounding the debt from then accumulated much of the total debt. — It pays to pay off debt not just keep adding to it.

??????????????????????????

been drinking?

 The so called surpluses in the 1990′s were due to a surplus in social security taxes counted against the general fund which created a false surplus. The fact is the total debt went up every year of Clinton’s two terms.

She wouldn’t run for VP twice. Big pay cut from what she’s doing now, and not career progression. The top job or nothing for her. Fortunately, it will be nothing.

Plus, Reagan was the Great Communicator.” Palin is the Great Cheerleader.

I don’t know. Are you too lazy to look it up?

She even added a word to her own vocabulary.
Articulate – (verb) to say something.
Articulate.

Why do you keep setting yourself up for disappointment?

I tried to pray the gray away and it worked!

Now I’m bald.

You make me laugh. Pushing your buttons? Take your meds and call it a day. I’m sure as an Obama blogger you’ve made your 20.00 for the day? Plus don’t let me get under your skin, you’re much to smart for that!!! Obama voter! Yuck!

If an Iowa farm family could figure out what to do about the economy, then why aren’t there any republicans, including Palin, laying out specifically how to deal with the economy and create JOBS as number one without saying the words “cut taxes”?????

I know, and Bush/Cheney planned and executed the attack on 9/11.  This only proves that a certain segment of our population are watching too many scary movies on TV.

Who is co-mingling? Your comment is incoherent. I think you are the weak minded one here. I know for certain I’m not. And I know what I’m talking about with failin’ Palin so suck a lemon.

Iv seen Adler post on other sites. Rumor has it that he’s a paid Obama blogger. No sense arguing with him. He at least has a job. Has to pay momma for living in her basement! LOL. Oh forgot to mention he’s highly intelligent. He’s the grammar police! Make sure you don’t spell a word wrong because that’s sends him on a “I’m smarter then you” fit! Too funny.

@ LAPhil – If you think that the one couple I talked about is not part of the “general public”, then you have another think coming. There are so many more people out there who are in the same kinds of positions- now more than ever. I have seen such abject poverty right here in these United States than you can evidently imagine. I have seen from coast to coast, from Alaska to Florida. If you truly believe these stories are isolated then you need to be educated. I know what poverty is and I know so many who are living in absolute poverty that is frequently through no fault of their own. People lost jobs and along the way have lost everything else. Even people who did what they were supposed to do- having a savings that they have now exhausted and still can’t find work. And no, everyone who wants a job CAN’T get one! There are more seekers than jobs. Not everyone can work if we don’t have enough jobs! Right now in these United States, one in ten children are homeless! One in ten! Do you realize how horrific those numbers are? Do you realize what that means? Some of these families receive food stamps but have no place to live. Many of them are in dire need of medical and/or dental care that keeps them from being able to concentrate in school. Many also have to move around frequently- either staying with friends and relatives or in homeless shelters. Unfortunately there are more shelters for adult men than there is for families and usually the shelters make you leave during the day and only return in the evening. It is so much more common than you evidently know and there are millions hurting.

I understand perfectly that steps must be taken to help this country retire debt and fix the systems. But don’t do it all on the backs of poor people! Yes, make changes but start at the top. Cut subsidies to large corporations. Cut the payouts to factory farms and only give it farmers that need it. Require Congress to give up more. Why should they get to work so few days while getting full pay and benefits. But don’t start the process by screwing over the people who have the least. Don’t cause them more pain before it is felt at the top. Perhaps we should make Congressional pay needs based. We saw the largest group of millionaires sworn into Congress in January than ever before. Those people don’t need to be paid the full salaries. They want the job so bad, let them help take care of themselves. They don’t work like most Americans- putting in 40 hour weeks and they have staff to do a good deal of their work. Why do they never start with themselves? Start reducing spending by going after the top and work the way down from there. I don’t think it is unreasonable to have means tests for Social Security and even Medicare. Medicaid recipients are already at the bottom of the totem pole and can’t afford to go any lower.

Some of the goals in Health Care Reform will save a great deal of money, including outcome based payments in Medicare. The doctors don’t fix the problem they don’t get paid. (Within reason of course.) Electronic health care records will make it easier for doctors to access patient records to avoid duplication of test or negative reactions
 to medications. So much can be done to help save the Medicare system tremendous amounts of money and help to eliminate fraud, one of the biggest costs to Medicare.

Arguing with a liberal is like teaching a rock how to swim….only the rock has a higher IQ
Lazy sons-a-bitches.

Stupid lib quotes George Carlin in a political conversation….ROFLMAO!!!
Porky Pig – “That’s All, Folks!!”

I know I wrote this before but its still true.  Yes you need cuts but you need revenue too.  Or put it this way. If you don’t tax people then the only option is cutting.  However if the fed. govt. is going to cut why not see if there is any “gristle”, ie truly wasteful spending in social programs and cut that. In other words parts of social spending that is proven not to be effective,a waste of taxpayers money.  Lets not simply slash programs.

Distractive is a word. Adjective for tending to distract. Now let me ask you this, did you even go to school? Or is Obama just good at ” distracting ” all you idiots with his smoke and mirrors.

Well then do pray with me brother! Help me heal of all that evil book learning I done did in college and gradumate skool!  All that head thinkin’ is clouding my ability to gut feel the true truth, about tax cuts setting free the “job creators” and offshore shell corporations being patriotic, because no true ‘Merican wants to see Exxon or GE pay any dirty commie taxes!   My head may doubt that, but with your guidance and patience, maybe I can tap into my rage and gut sense to set me Right.   With your help, and the wisdom of Brother Beck and Limbaugh, I will see the light! 

dear dark lady, stick your professional grab up yours , cause I don’t give a rats arse who you are and don’t even want to know who the heo are you. you show up with your little brain in a public forum, you have to keep this in your liberal stupid head, all things go, no fair game ,exactly the way you behave. , it’s arse wooping as always, when you intentionally poke a beehive.
spent time do research about people you may not know before you stick your tongue out in the snow.
now leave the writing to Palin, she knows better how to write, and sell million books, talk about professional writing, I won’t even hire you

That wasn’t my best effort, Palin isn’t worth my best effort. As for fear, life is a tough teacher, you either get stronger or you die. I am still alive. Nothing scares me any more. To worry would be to doubt my GOD and I have no doubts. On the other hand what I find so disgusting that fellow americans would think it funny that someone asunqualified as Sarah Palin is for any public office, would be paraded around proudly by men who will vouche for her qualifications to be COMMANDER  in CHIEF of the US Military and that you would recommend her as being competent to send your child or anyone’s child to war.  It’s not funny, it’s not funny at all.

Like I told you, the very fact that you consider it real funny that someone of Palin’s low character is qualified to be COMMANDER in CHIEF, speaks volumes about what you think about yourself and worse your country. How many kids have you sent to war??? I’ve sent 2.

Good question!! 

*snicker*

that is so untrue, that poll said that they wanted cuts balanced with revenues. The American people want their govt to work. The American people care about education and jobs. They have never asked for a free ride.  For 30 years, TRICKLEDOWN has been shoved down american’s throats breaded with lies and promises of more prosperity for  all.  GOVT enforcement was cut and a numbers of poisoned goods got into the market place, culminating  recently by the 43 mn lbs of turkey meat recalled in July. I value my kids lives. I don’t want them dying from lead poisoning from toys made in CHINA, but that happened to some other US kids during the BUSHIE years.  Lawrence O’Donnell has said it, the rich should be willing to invest more in the country that made them rich in the first place. Additionally, SS is not an entitlement, it is an INVESTMENT by workers and it is invested in US SECURITIES, Our gov’t, the one that bears the name of US of A. And that is a sound investment and will pay off til I die. Unlike the WALL STREET invested 401K funds which disappeared in the stock market and the same ones that will RUN OUT on people who just happen to live a little longer. As for Medicare, We pay premiums for our health insurance and it ain’t cheap. In my early career when health care insurance was a luxury for workers, my infant son had to go to the hospital. He was desperately ill. The hospital would not admit him without up front dollars. My grandmother saved his life, not the hospital. The repugs messed with Medicare by giving their buds big pharma a monopoly over meds for the program. COMPTETiTION is good for Others.but  “ Not In MY Market Place”. THE SICK in nursing homes, the disabled, uninsured children are on MEDICAID. Just which group would you condemn to death first?? Just ask Gov Jan Brewer of AZ,! She had no trouble tranferring her Medicaid funds for organ tranplants to her private prison buddies. SHE HAS ACCUMULATED a body count and we know them by name!! The TPARTY Nation advocated by Palin and BACHMANN is social darwinist, oligarchalal, ruthless, inhumane and in no way resembles any christian values I was raised by nor has it anything to do with the US constitution. Which by the way the TBAGGERS have already tried to amend 16 times since January 2011. Guess that 200 year old document just isn’t good enough for the TPATRIOTS??

If business would have been responsible all along, we would not have needed the EPA, OSHA or several of the other agencies. But employers cared so little for their employees well-being they allowed them to work in surroundings that killed them. They care so little for the environment that they have poisoned our land, air, waters and killed innocent people with the poisons they put out. Without OSHA, workers would work in even worse conditions than they are. Ask the town of Libby, Montana about what business will do to you. Not just the workers have died but many people who just lived there. And they are dying a terrible death. They suffocate. The town used the vermiculite all over. It was on the playgrounds and baseball fields, in the family garden and kids play areas. They didn’t know they were bringing death to their door when the men came home from a days work with vermiculite in their clothing and released the fibers into the air their wife and children were breathing. Entire families have died slow deaths as a result. The worst part is the company knew the danger and did nothing to protect the workers or the townspeople. Companies like that are the reason we had to have OSHA and the EPA because the almighty dollar was more important to business than the welfare of the people who toiled for them. It has been that way forever until such agencies came to be. They cannot be disbanded because business has proven over and over again that they will take every last drop of blood from the people who work for them. Look at what is happening now in China and other poor third world countries where irresponsible American business is shipping our toxic e-waste to be stripped out for the precious metals and even children are being poisoned by the work they do. This is happening in the 21st century, in 2011. It is obvious that business hasn’t changed and workers are expendable to many of them. They forced the government to establish agencies to oversee them. So yes, government grows, but only as needed to protect our lives, land, air and water. As long as greed overshadows care and compassion for workers and us all, we have to have agencies like OSHA, EPA and so many of the others.  

As to the president, I am not exactly sure what you expect him to do. He has been stymied by the right who declared they would just say no to everything and they have. Even to legislation they originally proposed and supported. They are not concerned about the country- only winning elections and protecting their jobs, wealthy donors and big business. They had ample opportunities to work together and they refused. I look forward to the implosion of the GOP that is coming.

They may be your feelings but in the case of failin’ Palin it is reality. She has no plans or ideas.

No I’m talking about Hannity and Palin. Did you not read my post properly?

You have informed us of your brilliance and your stellar writing ability (pardon the corrections I did).
Now you are attempting to rewrite the truth about Palin’s professional career in Alaska.
Your agenda is apparent as is your inflated opinion of yourself.

Your post indicates that you and truth are not bedfellows, but you and fallacies are.  You could be the best writer in the fiction world – go for it!

so, if this is a simple problem, why didn’t conservatives solve it long ago? Even Bush, your darling Georgie, did not do so, though his party controlled both houses of Congress.

Simple question for those with simple answers: what would you give up to solve the nation’s debt crisis?Not anyone else, just you.

Greta has been asking all the elected officials she ever has on her show, why nobody wants to go in there and really clean up the waste and fraud.  They all talk about it but nobody touches it.

I truly think if every department has to cut – perhaps they will take it seriously and go after the waste and fraud.  

Look Carman – time to get real here – Palin doesn’t have “a low character”.  Throwing out silly phrases like that doesn’t further your cause.  It only speaks volumes that you have nothing to hang your hat on except your dislike for a republican.  

Palin is not a war monger and she too sent a son to war.  You do have that in common.

You claim to hate this “snowbilly…..” and yet you are extremely interested in all she does and every bit of news about her.  Much like stalking wouldn’t you say?

ahhhh…  That is the best question asked on this thread my friend, as I see it nobody seems to be wanting to give anything, the left looks to the rich while asking nothing of themselves and the right says just cut cut cut cut…  Both sides play politics while neither moves towards a solution.  As to what I would give myself?  Given a fair and feasible plan, I would be willing to do my share whatever that may be, we make our own weather my friend, so if we had to do with a little less in our lives then we could learn to live with that just by adjusting our priorities and our outlook on those things which we consider important.

Look at the sacrifices asked of Americans during WWII, food and gas rationing, people grew their own food in their yards, those gardens were called “Victory Gardens”.  Now in this country we have the maturing of the “ME” generation and their offspring.  We want 5% of our population to carry the water for the entire nation..    I would ask of you the same question, what are you willing to do…  Is your country’s future not worth the sacrifice of all and not just a few?

http://www.designundersky.com/dus/2008/7/18/redefining-victory-gardens.html

Hannity is just so eager to hear all of Palins ideas, because she’s just so smart about economics.

I just love the smell of liberal fear on a hot summer day.
It occurs every time the name Palin is spoken.
She has more American Patriot in one of her beautiful eyelashes than Obama has in his entire ugly….skinny body.

I don’t recall using the word “brilliance” or “stellar,” but I am a professional writer. Self-employed for more than a decade… and that’s not easy, lemme tell you. 

I’m not trying to “rewrite” anything about Palin; I’m telling it like it is. You, as I said earlier, have swallowed the myth as the truth… so you’re really in no position to be accusing me of lying as a lifestyle. 

I brace myself for your next series of unsubstantiated personal insults.

Ya notice that she doesn’t toss Trig around as a potential victim of the government anymore? 

Where would that child be in a world like the proposes for everyone else? 

He gets his health care from a government program, as do all the Palins. He will likely depend upon Social Security Disability and many other government programs throughout his life. Palin’s vague proposals are nothing but “Death Panels” for the middle class, working class, and under/unemployed. The GOP is determined to enforce economic eugenics on the country.

You’re preaching to the choir! I said what you did! Most people do not want to cut things they need- even if they want cuts. And they certainly want to raise the taxes of the wealthy. The cuts in spending they will accept are to government programs and spending they won’t/don’t rely on. Some say defense, others don’t agree. In any case, they don’t want SS, Medicare, Medicaid cut and they do want to raise taxes on the wealthy.

look sweet cheeks – You’re  not telling it like it is, you’re attempting to insinuate that it wasn’t like it was.
I’ve read it all and the fact that until the left got ahold of her “record” and tried to play dirty, it was stellar.So, yes I am in a position to call your bluff. 

Well, honey pot, if you consider telling lies calling my “bluff,” then you’re the winner.

ahhh a truther!  Andrew Sullivan would be proud of you.  

I’m willing to bet many people out there don’t know the facts about Medicare. How it does not cover your care if you have to go into a nursing home/care facility. How you have to rid yourself of any assets in order to qualify for Medicaid to pay for nursing home care. Planned on leaving something to your kids? You better have given it over to them more than five years prior to your needing nursing home care or else the state can attach it to reimburse itself for your Medicaid after you die. Many people do not have sufficient income to pay the monthly fee for nursing home care and certainly not to maintain a home and pay for private care. Therefore, reductions in Medicaid are going to make it harder to get for those who have no other options. I can’t imagine what would end up happening to seniors who don’t have the means to pay for their own care if the right gets their way. 

Thank you for the expanded clarification.
