Hey HAWK.
Ken at Ford is a Saint. I Love that guy for real.
Ken's smile is Genuine and he really helps me out.
I don't mind oral jousting as long as it is nice and intelligent.
We are cool man.
I hate some of these Spiritual Retard Assholes on here though...no names to be mentioned. If I could choke them and smile in their face...I would.
I retired from bouncing after 11 years to be free of assholes.
Rock on!!!! I need a Drummer.....PEACE.

In the general population, the great majority of people from both parties fall somewhere in the middle and are not polarized, so to speak. If this continues, and there is no reason to think it won't, the moderates from one or both parties will splinter off and form a large new centrist party. Its long overdue.

Interesting Jeff yet still

"Yet looking inside those numbers, more than three-quarters (76 percent) of those who say FOX News is where they get their news see the Tea Party movement positively, versus just 4 percent who see it negatively. "

This is strictly a "conservative" thing. And further then that the meaning of the word conservative has nothing to do with the GOP at this point so...

Is this the Palin crowd who is into this?

To be honest I haven't looked much since they were calling it teabagging.....

Hans't anyone ever seen an experiment that did not work? Do you lust keep going or do you tear it down and start again?

Although i do see the Dems slipping away. The American People voted for change and we got jack shit.

Oh well, is Barrack over? If he tries to please everyone he is.

Actually, its more of a Libertarian thing. It draws from both parties--perhaps a bit more from the republican party. Most democrats are NOT died-in-the-wool flaming neoprogs and do not worship at the altar of Pelosism or Obamaism.

The Tear Partiers may have a bit of momentum now, but they're likely going to endorse Palin, who will be crushed at the polls, and the movement is probably going to sputter out as it's divisive nature consumes it. The ONLY thing they agree on fully is that they are against Obama, and that just isn't enough. Plus, the Mid-terms happen first, I think the Right will retake Congress, and the "big-govt" nonsense will ease way off as we see more flag-pins in the Capitol building.
In addition, the poll points to a favorable view of the Tear Party, not a true endorsement or actual membership. This is nothing new, it's called "bandwagon mentality," and it only drives the wingers. Obama didn't get elected on "Yes We Can," he got elected via "I'm Not Bush." A reasonable majority of folks still remember who elected Bush and what he did to the country... only the fringes have forgiven him. The Republican party is still in freefall because of it, after all.

The Tea Party is none of the things you mentioned. It can best be described as a group of politically motivated people who know the truth behind the major parties and have had enough of it.

The major parties are the wingnuts, not the Tea Party.

democrats=neoprogs=republicans=neocons=a bankrupt, totalitarian USA.

You mentioned Palin. She is a Republican. She is not going to be nominated. There should be a third party, however. Maybe if Ross Perot runs again he will get it ... In 2012, there will be no third party. It will be Romney who is nominated. I am hoping he chooses Newt as his running mate ...

Why do you like these guys ? Details of their qualifications and what they bring to the table? As well as their agenda? Now that you back them. Can you answer the questions without looking it up ? :wink:

My guess is...you don't know. Show me I'm wrong please.
BTW...do you actually know what a public option is ?

It does not matter what they stand for. All any candidate has to do is say they are not Obama, which is the reason B. Hussien won, he was not Bush.

show me the qualifications that obama has, 1 year and as senetor and community organizer before that. He did have the qualifications to be a kirby salesman,

Palin and Romney are previous Governors. Giuliani was mayor of New York. They all have more experience than Obama. In this first year of office he showed all the experience he has - NONE. Maybe in the next year we might get to see him in prime and actually do something that will give this change that he keeps talking about. The only change that he is causing is people seeing who he really is and they are changing to a different party.

I agree that the only reason he got elected was because he is nno Bush ...

:lol: The sad thing is you are probably as (un)informed as 10 milliuon teabagers. Thanks for proving my point.

You support these guys for president and vice prtesident and you know nothing about them, their aganda or anything else. All you know about them is the office they held. This is indeed a sad comentary on the the mentality of the right wing tea bagging sheep... :cry:

ask 95% of thhe people who voted for Obama if they knew who he was or what his polocies were. Not one of them even know who the guy was, but yet they voted for him ..

You seem to feel that he is so qualified to be a President -> show me what he has done to show that he should be President?

I almost forgot, Obama voting present at practicall every vote makes more than eliggible for the Presidency.

http://www.audacityofhypocrisy.com/2008 ... ack-obama/

Palin does have less experience than Romney. But from looking the link you will see that Palin has more experience than Obama. That is ok, though; Obama won't make it past the primaries in 2012 ...

Rightwing website Frank, a little more objectivity, please. Palin was governor of a state that holds the same number of people as El Paso, TX. She accomplished nothing during her tenure, then quit because she did not want to be a lame duck. She just quit. She couldn't name a single book or magazine she read, but she made millions "writing" one. If the Tear Party offered her a seat at their candidate table, she would most assuredly take it, I think you'd have to be pretty naive to think otherwise.
And I totally agree that the next president will only have to Not Be Obama... unless the economy improves, which (gasp) is slowly happening, despite the conservative wish-upon-a-star for economic collapse. How fast it happens will determine his fate, and that of the Tear Party. In the run-up to any presidential election, America always asks itself, "Are we better off now than with the last president?" If the economy improves, no matter how much blather about socialism and other talkshow brainwash, he could win again. His numbers are at 46-49%, not the 26-28% Bush left with. He's also an expert campaigner.
There could quite easily be a second Obama term.--->JMS

You know, it's really hard to discuss politics with someone who doesn't even know anything about the people he wants for president. Then makes an attempt to chance the subject.

What has Obama done ?

Prevented a major depression. [He didn;t let the banking system collapse, which seems to be what the party of NO wanted.]

Making an attempt to fix health care / insurance. [The insurance companies spend $.27 on the $1.00 on actual health care. They bought congress. Yes congress works for corporate America, not the American people]

Regained world respect for the US.

Saved hundreds of thousands of jobs. [Again, the party of NO wanted GM an Chrysler to die. The Trickle Down jobs that were saved was tremendous. If it weren't for that, unemployment would be way over 10%.

The stimulus money is also saving jobs. Without it unemployment would be higher as well.

Don't forget, all of the companies that left for China aren't coming back and he can't create a job market out of thin air.

The Republicans have offered "NO" concrete plans for fixing any of these problems. Their sole strategy is to take down Obama. They have no plan to help the American people.

Ask yourself why congress always votes exactly the way corporate America wants them to.

Did you know both Japan and China had a "Cash for Clunckers" program in their countries ? The only difference was IT WAS ONLY FOR CARS MADE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES, not any USA made cars. Obama could have NEVER pushed that idea through congress, as congress has been bought and paid for by corporate lobbyists.]

He crossed the $10 Trillion debt line "oh no". Yes all of you DIDN'T complain while Bush took us to $10 Trillion (Frank, you didn't even know we were in debt before Obama, that again shows the mentality of the right wing sheep as I would suggest you are a prime example of their general political knowledge). Bush spent a hell of a lot more $ taking us into a war. GOING AFTER THE WRONG GUY, which AGAIN you and yours have no problem with. o problem with the $trillions spent OR the American lives taken or maimed for life.

He is trying to prevent further poisoning of our planet. Again, the Republicans want to continue the poisoning because the corporations will make less money. It's always about the corporations and what they want. China is already ahead of us, building more wind turbines and the largest solar panel system in the world for their own country.

Just a few thoughts off the top of my head.

BTW AGAIN, do you even know what a public option is? It won't kill grandma, it won't fund abortions, it won't promote gay marriage (as I saw a couple Republican senators at a prayer meeting say, while asking God to stop the health care reform. Yeah, God would like more Americans to die as rationing continues under the present GREED system of the insurance industry. :lol: )

I could go on but I have to eat breakfast and get ready to leave for work.

There would have been no depression. He only helped the banks because they helped him with campaign contributions. And it was his way of spreading his socialist agenda

Finding a way to create a government take over and bankrupt the private insurance industries. Medicare is bankrupt, but yet he wants to cut 500 billion from it. As well as tax the hell out of people, Yeah that sounds right. Nothing like stealing from grandma to spread socialism.
Hawk wrote:Regained world respect for the US.
Yeah, his world apology tour and bowing to people made is look real good and got a lot of respect from people. The Chavez speech at the climategate summit this week shows it ...
Hawk wrote:Saved hundreds of thousands of jobs. [Again, the party of NO wanted GM an Chrysler to die. The Trickle Down jobs that were saved was tremendous. If it weren't for that, unemployment would be way over 10%.
He helped the unions more than he helped the workers. Sure jobs are being saved, that is why Detroit has the highest unemployment rate in the country. That is why Chrysler was sold to a foreign country. That is why the national unemployment rate is almost 11%, of course with the people who gave up looking for work whose unemployment ran out, or just figured screwed it and went on welfare; The rate is considerably higher.
Hawk wrote:The stimulus money is also saving jobs. Without it unemployment would be higher as well.
When he pushed that through he said the unemployment rate would not go above 8%. Now like mentioned it is almost at 11%. Look at post above. Of course they are trying to put another one through. More money they are going to borrow and one more step towards their agenda.
Hawk wrote:Don't forget, all of the companies that left for China aren't coming back and he can't create a job market out of thin air.
This is udder BS ...
Hawk wrote:The Republicans have offered "NO" concrete plans for fixing any of these problems. Their sole strategy is to take down Obama. They have no plan to help the American people.
They did and do have plans to fix it, but as always the Dems are not allowing any of it and they are forcing their agenda through. It is nothing like watching a member of the SEIU or Black Panthers beat down someone because they don't agree with the liberals. Yeah!
Hawk wrote:Ask yourself why congress always votes exactly the way corporate America wants them to.
This is an irrelevant question because there is going to be a new congress next year. But hence; the current one only votes how they want, they listen to no one. Which is why you will see no dems get re-elected in 2010.

The national debt is now at 12 trillion. Of course it will go higher with the way this wonderful President is spending money. The is o.k .. The fed can just print more out and make it worthless (wait, it is already worthless) ... Their are estimates that it could up to 16 trillion within the next two years. Yeah, I know, you will defend that as well.

A government run health care system that will be mandatory to get on by 2013. It will put the private sector out of business; it will not be cheap and will not be quality. It will also kill grandma because it will be rationed by need bases. and will fund abortion, the senate just shot down a amendment that would take government funded abortions out of it. It will also put medicare into a bigger hole because of the 500 billion that is it going to cut from it to help pay for it. It is another way to spread the socialist agenda.

You just proved my point about how you believe everything the liberals say and do. You only look one way and have no idea what is going on around you. That is o.k .. Come next year we will see you making posts about how congress sucks and saying about how the President isn't getting a fare shake. I am anxious to see what you do in 2012 when he is voted out of office.

Right now Obama has the lowest rating in history for any President in his first year in office. yeah, even his own party is turning on him and people who supported him are turning on him. Maybe that is because they know he is full of nothing but bs ?

When he pushed that through he said the unemployment rate would not go above 8%. Now like mentioned it is almost at 11%. Look at post above. Of course they are trying to put another one through. More money they are going to borrow and one more step towards their agenda.

This is udder BS ...
Hawk wrote:The Republicans have offered "NO" concrete plans for fixing any of these problems. Their sole strategy is to take down Obama. They have no plan to help the American people.
They did and do have plans to fix it, but as always the Dems are not allowing any of it and they are forcing their agenda through. It is nothing like watching a member of the SEIU or Black Panthers beat down someone because they don't agree with the liberals. Yeah!
Hawk wrote:Ask yourself why congress always votes exactly the way corporate America wants them to.
This is an irrelevant question because there is going to be a new congress next year. But hence; the current one only votes how they want, they listen to no one. Which is why you will see no dems get re-elected in 2010.
Hawk wrote:Did you know both Japan and China had a "Cash for Clunckers" program in their countries ? The only difference was IT WAS ONLY FOR CARS MADE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES, not any USA made cars. Obama could have NEVER pushed that idea through congress, as congress has been bought and paid for by corporate lobbyists.]
I bet theirs failed as well. That was the biggest screw up the government has ever done. Now cash for caulkers? WTH? Sheesh ..
Hawk wrote:He crossed the $10 Trillion debt line "oh no". Yes all of you DIDN'T complain while Bush took us to $10 Trillion (Frank, you didn't even know we were in debt before Obama, that again shows the mentality of the right wing sheep as I would suggest you are a prime example of their general political knowledge). Bush spent a hell of a lot more $ taking us into a war. GOING AFTER THE WRONG GUY, which AGAIN you and yours have no problem with. o problem with the $trillions spent OR the American lives taken or maimed for life.
The national debt is now at 12 trillion. Of course it will go higher with the way this wonderful President is spending money. The is o.k .. The fed can just print more out and make it worthless (wait, it is already worthless) ... Their are estimates that it could up to 16 trillion within the next two years. Yeah, I know, you will defend that as well.
Hawk wrote:He is trying to prevent further poisoning of our planet. Again, the Republicans want to continue the poisoning because the corporations will make less money. It's always about the corporations and what they want. China is already ahead of us, building more wind turbines and the largest solar panel system in the world for their own country.
Climategate is the biggest scam in world history. Their are no facts to prove any of it and the recent email revealing proves it.

Hawk wrote:BTW AGAIN, do you even know what a public option is? It won't kill grandma, it won't fund abortions, it won't promote gay marriage (as I saw a couple Republican senators at a prayer meeting say, while asking God to stop the health care reform. Yeah, God would like more Americans to die as rationing continues under the present GREED system of the insurance industry. :lol: )
A government run health care system that will be mandatory to get on by 2013. It will put the private sector out of business; it will not be cheap and will not be quality. It will also kill grandma because it will be rationed by need bases. and will fund abortion, the senate just shot down a amendment that would take government funded abortions out of it. It will also put medicare into a bigger hole because of the 500 billion that is it going to cut from it to help pay for it. It is another way to spread the socialist agenda.
Hawk wrote:I could go on but I have to eat breakfast and get ready to leave for work.
You just proved my point about how you believe everything the liberals say and do. You only look one way and have no idea what is going on around you. That is o.k .. Come next year we will see you making posts about how congress sucks and saying about how the President isn't getting a fare shake. I am anxious to see what you do in 2012 when he is voted out of office.

Right now Obama has the lowest rating in history for any President in his first year in office. yeah, even his own party is turning on him and people who supported him are turning on him. Maybe that is because they know he is full of nothing but bs ?
Beck / Limbaugh rhetoric all over again.

I have to work Today and play tonight, work Saturday, play Saturday night. Church Sunday and Play Sunday evening. In other words I'll have no time to correct your ill conceived points. However, If you would like to stop by Rubines tonight (8:30 start ) I'll buy you a brew or two.

See?
Well, first of all, unemployment has indeed slowed. New claims are down, the stock market's up, the insurance industry just got a giant welfare package from the govt so they're making a killing, real estate is coming back, except for overpriced commercial property... overall, it's not screaming back to 2006 levels like you seem to think it should a year later, but it's pointing the right direction. Talkshow hosts don't agree... but they all have the most to lose, so of course, they won't "translate" that for you. You have to look at other sources, too.--->JMS

If Obama has shows a rise in the polls, will you admit you were wrong? Watch for it in the new year.--->JMS
