So we have a bunch of irate hillbillies. It sure seems that way. Personally I think Obama has made some mistakes. Do I like him? No. Is he better than McCain? Yes. Do they both suck? Yes. What amazes me is how we have all these inbreds up in arms. Where were they during the Bush years? Now they are freaking out. Personally i'm surprised he hasn't got shot. Some of these intellectuals think he is a Nazi. Where did all this hate come from? Obama may or may not be a crook, but he is no worse than what we had the last eight years. No one can argue that. No one.

A poll conducted among NC registered Republicans yesterday showed 50% think Obama is not a citizen, 25% think he is a citizen, 25% are unsure.

In that same poll, 12% of NC Republicans think Hawaii is not part of the USA.

12% think the earth is 6000 years old.

Stupidity runs rampant.

Now this is funny.

How is she dumb?

Is it because she is a woman?

Is it because she is gay?

Is it because she has a different political view than you?

Or is it all three?


I am sure she is not dumb.

She went to Stanford, received the rhodes scholarship and went to Oxford.

Again skul why do you think she is dumb.

I'd have no problem with those who don't trust Obama or the "government" to implement a public option healthcare plan if their mistrust was based in fact rather than fear. But I doubt ANY of these people disrupting or otherwise voicing their "opinions" in Town Hall meetings across the country have bothered to read any part of HR 3200, which has been available to both Congress and the public since the 14th of July.

And if the members of Congress (on both sides of the isle) were truly interested in working on this bill, they'd have stayed in session through the month of August instead of taking their usual August vacation break. Instead they'll return all rested and relaxed from their summer sabbaticals, protesting that they haven't even had a chance to read the bill and now Obama's trying to "shove it down their throats".

Nah, there's no organization or monetary support for any of these protestors. None of the right wing legislators, talk show hosts, columnists, big pharmas, healthcare companies, have anything to do with any of this, right? Organizations like Freedomworks, and people like Rick Scott and his Swift Boat crew, or groups establishing "Operation Embarrass Your Congressman" with websites of talking points, a game plan of disruption, ideas for talking points, signs, etc. No lobbying groups working on anything, right? It's just "da base" that's organized and well-funded.

I'll admit, that's a different tack for you to take, saying "Da-Base" has the finances to make a difference.

Both sides are being played ! Plain and simple

The Astro-Turf line is stale, Calling people inbreds is stale. Calling people racists because they disagree with Obama is weak. Good grief ! What happened to the 1st amendment? Carlos Watson saying that calling Obama's plans "Socialist" are likened to using th N-word? WTF ! F -YOU Carlos ! YOU are inciting hatred you asshole ! Is that racist? Last week Chris Matthews stated on Hardball that anyone who didn't agree with our King should be shot up with Sodium Pentathol !
Chris Matthews: Are "Protesters" At Health Care Town Halls Racists?

I am quite sure there are those on both sides Chad--I just get tired of Gumby and crew and their spin 24/7--their canned questions--planted town hall people etc

--and if I hear one misrepresentaion from him on pre ex conditions---

Wish he'd use his disfunctional mom again as example. Only possible way I can figure they didn't cover her is -she did the ole wait till after diagnosis to apply for coverage.

You might notice that the First Amendment is alive and well. It's protecting the freedom to express thoughts and ideas, even when the thoughts are irrational and the ideas are based on falsehoods.

Sarah Palin is protected when she lies about "death panels". A moron in PA is protected when he shouts eternal damnation at a Senator. Fox news is protected when it presents slanted news and half-truths. Eevn Sean Hannity is protected when he calls for the murder of every democrat in congress.

Your First Amendment rights are alive and well.

Now I'll ask you - where are your manners, where is your rational discussion, where is your civility, where is your common sense, where is your respect for the right of others to be free from your demagoguery? :confused:

That's good Stick Biter, when Watson and Matthews are losing it, the typical lefto spin is to turn it around. I have already, numerous times stated that I despise the FAUX NOIZE CIRCUS. Michael Regan called for the dealth of Mark Dice, AKA John Connor, and nothing was done.

Don't you challenge me on my manners, my civility or my common sense.

All others have the right to be free from my "demagoguery" but they are wrong by doing so :shrug: :mj07:

One day when you grow up, get a job and stop suckling of the government tit, start paying some real taxes, you will come to the realization how much of a dick you really are. :shrug:

Really, and you are in a position to judge me?

Get bent loser. Go back to collecting cans.

I will exercise my right, just as your Chosen One has to selectively choose and isolate you. Do not reply to any of my posts, you bring nothing to the table but filth and animosity. I hold my self to a far higher standard to get into a shouting match with pogues like you, I don't mind the give and take, but all you do is bring a shovel and throw shit into the middle of everything.

See ya
