...and there is no sign that Mr. Obama is any different from the past democrats that sat in the oval office. The only exception is that he has 100% compliance within his party and a majority in congress that will pass anything Mr. Obama supports.
How hypocritical is it that Mr. Obama continues to remind the general public of the deficit he inherited, but then spends so recklessly that the possibility of having a balanced budget anytime within his term is utterly impossible. How hypocritical is it that the libs called the recent spending bill that was passed a "stimulus package". How does $20 billion dollars towards food stamps stimulate the economy? What jobs will be created by increasing food stamp allowances? This is only one example of many within that spending bill, but I'll try to avoid making this post unneccisarily long. One of you left wingers need to help me understand what our President is attempting to do. The view from the cheap seats here in right field makes the picture look exactly like I thought it would look before the election took place; the liberal democrats want a socialist republic in place of our cherished capitalistic society. Let's continue to drain the rich to pay for the poor. Let's continue to increase taxes on large corporations that have been laying off employees at an enormous pace. Let's increase benefits to the unemployed instead of finding ways to provide jobs for them. I'm ranting a bit, but one thing is clear. Barack Obama scares the living shit out of me. JP, UGB, anybody, please help me feel better about the job he's doing. And someone explain to me how the fuck he has a 67% approval rating. They must have done the polling at a foreclosure seminar or a foodbank. |

You bait so hard; but without substance what am I supposed to respond to? |

at 2:49 AM, Sunday March 6, 2016 EST Big question; how did Cruz win Maine? No exit polls mean it is very hard to tell. It's the only state that Cruz has won that is not heavy evangelical; so far he is following the path of Santorum or Huckabee. Maine doesn't fit that mold.
Also Trump seems to have the advantage in primaries but not so good at caucuses. Cruz seems good at caucuses but not good at primaries. If Cruz can replicate a Maine win in other north eastern states then he has a shot. If he cannot then it is over for him too. |

at 10:52 PM, Sunday March 6, 2016 EST It's simple DC. Cruz only uses religion when it suites him. He's not really a bible thumper like his father and even if he were he's a federalist which means that he wouldn't be shoving his personal beliefs down anyones throat like the rest of the pack, both left and right, would.
I wasn't trying to bait you. I really don't think you understand what point you are making. You didn't get the irony I was pointing out so how could you get much else? |

Well that is a bit concerning that he has a switch that can turn on FULL-BIBLE-ZEALOT-MODE. I've heard this before and he is ivy league educated; campaign financed by CITIGROUP; married to a Goldman Sachs employee, hired by his campaign chairman (it's a small world after all), and member of the Council on Foreign Relations... so you might be right. TBY: "... and even if he were..." Wait?! I thought it was simple :) TBY: "he's a federalist which means that he wouldn't be shoving his personal beliefs down anyones throat like the rest of the pack, both left and right, would." Okay fine; I'll hope that he is honest about that. TBY: "I wasn't trying to bait you. I really don't think you understand what point you are making. You didn't get the irony I was pointing out so how could you get much else?" Your statement wasn't irony; it was a veiled dig at how no one can understand your facts because they listen to the mainstream media. That isn't an argument based on evidence it is an ad hominem. |

Now that, my friend, is irony |
