Both parties are in the pockets of Wall Street. This is nothing new. Both parties are in the pockets of the military-industrial complex. This is nothing new, either.
Except for healthcare and social issues (incl division of church & state), there isn't much of a difference between the two. Fortunately, on both of these issues I favor the Democrats' position, so my electoral decision is fairly easy.
He's gonna need it: Romney has the big guns in advertising. Swift-boat and Willie Horton.
I hope all of wall street supports Obama....might just might be enough to offset the Koch Bros and Adelson.
Only when they don't get a share of the money.
I thought Soros was going to give his puppet Obama a billion dollars. Why would he need the help of Wall Street?
Where are all the OWS protesters? Why aren't they screaming, well, more than they usually do?
Soros is not supporting Obama this time around...find another punching bag.
If you seriously think Soros isn't pumping money into the Obama campaign, I have a bridge in San Francisco I'll sell you cheap. It has an apartment on top and everything.
Take him at his word, or don't.
Read his lips.
HA HA HA HA HA HA, that's a good one, LMC. "Take him at his word, or don't." You're becoming quite the comedian.
Seriously. I've heard Soros called many things but a punching bag is not one of them.
I've called him several myself and I still bet he's giving money to Obama.
Yeah..most often it's Nazi. Even though he's Jewish, and helped Jews escape Hitler.
And he says he is not giving money to Obama's campaign....but I guess you would know better.
And you...it was the right wing tea party that were the first to hold protests about it.
But it was Paulson and Bush who made it law. Dilemma there, too-- eh?
No, but they blamed Obama for it all. And still do. And so does the Republican party.
There's plenty of blame to go around, LMC. Problem is getting Obama to own up to the part that's his.
Come on, habee. If you're the least bit Conservative, you're labeled as a Tea Partier just like DHL labels all handgun carry permit holders and Christians as terrorist. You should know this by now.
Well, I suppose I'm a terrorist, then. I am pro-2nd Amendment all the way! I have a shotgun, a .308 rifle, and a handgun. Does that make me a "triple threat"?
Yes, ma'am, it does. I have a shotgun, a .54 Hawken rifle, a .75 Brown Bess musket, a 9mm handgun, and a permit to carry. I'm probably on the list just because of the permit.
No--you are fee to carry guns to an Obama rally...however, a college student was arrested and is facing charges for throwing glitter at Romney.
And Sheehan was arrested for wearing an anti-war t-shirt at a Bush speech.
Little lop-sided if you ask me.
I think carrying a weapon to a political rally is crazy...BUT, when firearms are taken to R rallies, the libs think it's terrible. It's fine when the weapons are at Obama rallies, however. lol
But you're free to do it and not be labeled a terrorist.
But have a muslim name, and watch out.
As long as a person has a permit to carry legally, I see no problem with them doing so where it's legal. I will say doing so at a political rally is just asking for trouble and I wouldn't do it.
To throw something on someone on purpose would probably be considered assault. Some things just don't sit well with the Secret Service.
Okay, I'll ask. What else was Sheehan doing to get arrested? It couldn't have been just for the shirt. What did the shirt say? Do you have a link to see it? Was it threatening to Bush?

Follow link to see official FBI flyers. There are links to each one in the article! Lots of reasons for the People to snitch on each other?
And let's remember what Liberals are called: marxists and socialists and communists....
But none of those will get you put on the terrorist watch list according to that dude at DHL. What is his name? Oh, yeah! Napolitano.
I don't use those terms to describe liberals, LMC. In fact, my best friend is a liberal, and we get along great. We discuss issues all the time, and we often find that we can find some common ground. But then again, both of us are calm and reasonble and fair-minded.
No, that's the smear the Foxites gave him. Well, Beck to be fair.
And I know what you mean about trust..that's why I said Read My Lips.
I didn't like Bush 41 for that one either.
Also, I don't watch Fox unless I'm at my mom's. Too much screaming on there. It reminds me of my ex-wife. I don't listen to Beck, either. Too "out there."
