   This is really aggravating! Even Palin is disappointing me! At least Bachmann had a proposal to cut farm subsidies but republicans supporting ethanol just to get votes of Iowans is morally wrong and unacceptable! We need to cut the budget, and that means every single line item must be reduced... there must be a shared sacrifice and even so cutting subsidies for ethanol is a no-brainer!

      Ron Paul on what he would cut:
      
      "I would start with the departments. . . the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security."

         Lol He gets it! The republicans... not so much! If the republicans don't get their act together we could end up with democrats back in power as those lying socialist pigs will do anything to get their hands on the reins of this nation!

            Hmm...give me a single example of Democrats being "lying socialist pigs." Where is the socialism? Do you actually know what socialism is? No...I doubt it.

                  I would gladly do that. IF the government agreed to stop collecting the tax from me. I've paid enough for TWO people to be "vested" in SSA.

                     Republicans with standing and political pull need to roll up their sleeves and start doing some actual work instead of letting the liberal agenda distract them.

                        Obama is playing politics as usual with the budget instead of taking a leadership role... he wants the republicans to make the cuts and fix the debt problem...then he'll blame them for the pain and take credit for the good results... the man is a snake! Sly as a fox!

                           No, it presents some theories as to what forms peoples' political beliefs- what makes some lead left, and others lean right. It's sociology mainly (Communist propaganda) - kind of fascinating. I think you might find it quite interesting - very enlightening. It might explain your anger, your uncertainty, your paralyzing fear of change, your love and comfort of the status-quo, and your willingness to accept that people aren't really equal. I don't expect you to read it, but your rantings are on the far-end of the scale and pretty much match how you present yourself to a tee.

                              Im not angry nor do I fear change. Change is a given but only a fool would believe that change. in and of it self is good or better than the status quo. Change can be bad or worse than the current state... as illustrated by Obamas policies. People aren't equal if we were all the same we would all be world class athletes or muscians or scientists... regardless I believe we should all be treated equally especially under the law.

         When Obama talks about shared sacrifice he's talking about taking from the rich to give to the poor! In my version shared sacrifice means cut the government across the board every department and eliminate all subsidies especially ethanol! I don't think the democrats are talking like that!

   "Republicans with standing and political pull need to roll up their sleeves and start doing some actual work instead of letting the liberal agenda distract them."
   
   Republicans have had their own agendas distracting them...
   
   Like figuring out a way to justify the invasion of Iraq...
   
   As in finding more ways to send tax dollars to private corporations, like Halliburton and Dyncorp...
   
   And, through seeking new ways of destroying worker organization in this nation...either through outsourcing/offshoring, or through union busting...
   
   The Bush Administration did its best to undermine the ILWU, and what is going on in Wisconsin continues along that line...
   
   The neo-conservative legacy is built on mountains of debt...through unfunded wars, unfunded tax cuts, and scams (like the refusal of the Bush/Cheney controlled department of Energy to investigate Enron  during the California Energy Crisis....though Governor Gray Davis kept calling on them to do their job nd halt the corporate embezzlement of California tax dollars)..

   1. Likely true!
   2. Definitely true (and I'll bet you anything they did NOT have to go through Planned Parenthood)
   3. I thought they ate worms because, like the old schoolyard song goes "nobody likes them, everybody hates them...."
   4.False. Palin would never watch a show that was not officially sanctioned in the Constitution
   
   Meanwhile, some positive news about the OTHER Barbara Bush (who I always knew was the normal one in the family):
   
   In a break from her father's politics, Barbara Bush, daughter of Republican President George W. Bush, has publicly expressed her support for gay marriage.
   Having grown up under the spotlight with both a grandfather and father in the Oval Office, she is now vocally advocating for something that Bush 43 wanted constitutionally banned.
   
   "New York is about fairness and equality," says Barbara, who lives in Manhattan, in a YouTube video. "And everyone should have the right to marry the person that they love.” The video was filmed for the Human Rights Campaign, which will show it at a gala in New York City on Feb. 5.
   
   Barbara isn't the first family member of a conservative politician to support same-sex marriage. Meghan McCain, daughter of Senator John McCain, has supported it, as has her mother, Cindy McCain. Barbara's mother Laura Bush has reportedly touched on her support for the issue. And Mary Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is a lesbian and campaigns for legalizing same-sex marriage.
