You are indeed fortunate Des_Akkari, do you folks have Republicans in NZ???

they have political idiots and some obvious corruption but not on that scale. It's one of the reasons I left. Think about the idiots we (used to) live next to who vote for Bonner, Cantor, Bachman, Allan West, or Orin Hatch!!!!! I mean damn how completely ignorant do you have to be to vote for these idiots. OR for any politician who would seriously enter into a debate that denies people heathcare....Voting for someone who thinks if you get sick you should die is UNTHINKABLE.... A person, and I use the term loosely, who would vote for a system known to kill 45k a year for lack of insurance then harp on about terrorists are beyond human.... beyond comprehension. I have had debates with some of these people and when you look at their faces, some have no compassion for other people, seriously. You look at them and ask, " do you really believe that shit you hear an Fox." they do, my god they DO!!!

When you can fix those 60 million you may get thru this......

I cannot fix that 60 million as a matter of fact I work with them, so I rarely speak to any of them... Luckily I work by myself so I never really have to speak with any of them...

So I know exactly what you are saying... =)

You made your choice. I applaud you for having the courage of your convictions.

I wish you luck, wealth and happimess/

Well I sure am Happy you found Peace in NZ... Keep in Touch... =)

I agree with you acsus. Good comment.

Thank you.

Well said. Facts and reason, FTW!

The truth is hard to except? :>)

I agree kgMA. Putting the teaparty in the house was a bad mistake. The party of no is a cancer.

We have no one to blame but ourselves. We either re-elected the same clowns to office in 2010 or did one of the dumbest thing possible, we stayed home. Both actions give us the most dysfunctional House and Senate I've seen in my life time..
I'll say it again, if we want change, change has to start in the House and Senate. That's where change begins. That's where bills are written! Put a bill on Obama's desk, one that helps the poor or middle class and watch him smile while he signs it into law. The man is no fool!

Good one kgMA. Obama is no fool. Let's hope people have woke up since the 2010 elections. I to think this is the most dysfunctional house and Senate in my life time. Let's hope 2012 benifits the people,

I agree 100%.

Absolutely

Yes! He's an All American President! A President for all Americans, even though Democrats didn't ask for one! So now what? President Perry! President Bachmann!
Elect a better Congress............

A better congress is the answer. Replacing President Obama with any of the Republicans running would be a bad mistake. Just ask the states that went Republican.

I agree completely! Hopefully they will realize the cost of electing a NO party republican to Congress and their misery will end in 2012. Here in Ma,, E Warren will make up for our blunder after Teds passing!
One important issue I'd like to bring to the table, do we really want a Republican president picking more corporate slugs to the SC within the next five years? That alone should get us off of our fat asses!

That's very unfair of you. President Obama is stuck with a dysfunctional House and Senate who it appears is willing to DESTROY this country in order to make the President look bad.

Warren is a smart lady. She will be good for the middle class. I hope she wins. I don't want a Republican President, especially putting a conservative in the SC.

on one hand your right, but a repub in office will for sure bring the movement to its goal faster. Those idiots will for sure screw everything so bad it'll be like Scott walker on a national level. I think we have to burn or let it burn to the ground the even the idiot repub voters will wake up when even they have no food, no jobs, and no homes.

Yes.

A republican will for sure screw everything up. Hopefully republicans in states like WI will wake up. If not they will be in as bad a shape as the rest of the country. I'll know Nov. 8 in Ohio if we vote down Kasich"s union busting bill.It will take some repubs to do that.

Spot on, Babe.

You'd think that this would be obvious to otherwise enlightened people.

I agree with you. I don't trust Big Pharma. Prices are out of site.

The problem being of course that he is right. He is the lesser of all of the evils we are being offered. DAMN.

Well represented, Jan. Wall St heavily funded his election campaign beyond
what they contributed to McCain to hedge their bets. Nobama knows who
butters his bread. The 1% have the Big Money. The 99% have the small
money. As money talks, the result has been obvious to those in the know.
The saying birds of a feather flock together indicates people can always tell
the inner person beyond the facade by whom they surround themselves with.
With very few exceptions, Nobama has chosen the ones representing the 1%
and their master plan for the world, and the USA's place in it, as they want it
to become. Which is to the detriment of the global 99%. One main reason why
people of other countries support the OWS movement is because they know
Nobama's Bankster buddies are pulling the same " austerity measures " to
make them lean, so they can fatten themselves up by lining their own pockets.
The Clinton family married into Goldman Sachs as in laws. When I hear her
speak the C.I.A.'s.false flag terrorism disinformation, as Gingrich does, I can
sense how ruthless they realy are. If all the American people read wbradleyjr1's
posts and blogged them as I do, they'd openly want to revolt so badly that we
would finaly see change to believe in that wasn't cosmetic tepid, and flaccid.

Yes, it is.

Yes we have a problem in Washington! Try running for Congress yourself or electing better people to office! That's my goal! Hate will not solve your problem!

Well said.

I think this is not yet the tip of the iceberg Frosty46... =(

I believe the correct term is RepugnantCons. The term used as Republican
is associated with Lincoln, and T.Roosevelt. But the last true Republican
President was Dwight Eisenhaur. Everyone misrepresenting themselves
with that ancient term since 1960 can't be a true Republican because,
since the conditions out of which they evolved no longer exist, the term is
no longer viable as accurate. Ie, since the USA is mismanaged by a de facto
shadow government now, it's closer to the truth to say those who call them
selves Republicans are only a shadow of their former selves. Ron Paul is
one who represents the Republicans. But in today's society he's considered
a reactionary, because his policies revert to those in the time of Lincoln.
That the RNP wouldn't let him speak at their convention in Minnesota in 2008.
And that the Corporate TV media seek to allow him the least time to speak...
Both these facts support my contention. Corporations were around during
the era the USA was established, yes. But they were a dominant commercial
force in England. So when the Democratic Republic of the USA was started,
they were discouraged here by the Democratic Republican party led by
Thomas Jefferson. It was the Federalist (BrittishTory) party led by Hamilton
who advocated their profligation in the USA. They can spout out all the old
idealog propaganda they want, but what's in a name ?

The Corporations which Theodore Roosevelt and Eisenhaur had such
collossal problems with are so dominant today that they've attempted to
fuse with Government so they can assimilate and replace Government.
If you want to see a futuristic scenario based on the alarming trends from
the present, there's a 1999 TV series that was aired on Showtime called
Total Recall 2070. I taped episodes of that TV series that ran 1 full season.
Blockbuster has the pilot on VHS, and likely DVD. As intellectual property
it's likely for sale on Amazon et al merchant internet sites. It's a real eye
opener. The Democrats & Republicans of yesteryear, are so greased by
Corporations that they're both being assimilated into a Corporation party.
A party without noisemakers unless you count the OWS movement protests.

Come-on Frosty, that borders on treason and threatening the President of the United States.

No JOKE about that subject is either FUNNY or LEGAL. Please delete it as an act of good faith.

Thank you.

What ever happened to medicare for everyone?

They surely are not helping the folks that elected them... Hang in there timelord999...

They secretly exported it to Afghanistan, then rolled over that proposition
with tanks. The M.I.C.'s modern trend is to provide military security to the
Corporate Piracy that seeks to loot the natural resources of foreign lands
w/o infrastructure & a formidable defense force. That's why they wanted
the Russians out. To the Corporatists, it would be absurd to spend their
money to finance their Grand Larceny in foreign lands when they can
merely grease the palms of enough in Congress & the white house to
gain the leverage they need to abuse other people's tax money, and
make cannon fodder out of their family members. Their family members
were enticed to join the military as they couldn't find jobs w/benefits any
where else. Because 53% of every tax dollar gets swallowed up there.
Consider the M.I.C. to be a singularity. You know, a black hole that
has such extreme gravity, it will suck up everything in sight.

So all the Corporatists have to do is NOT create jobs, sit on Trillions
they've amassed, and wait until citizens are desperate enough to put their
life & limbs on the line...Then the greased G people, (working for the
Corporatists in a collossal conflict of interest that would get any lawyer
disbarred) will send the Medicare money to Afghanistan as they did the
citizens' Social Security taxes, and leave an I.O.U. there. Once greased
G people vote to export our income tax & Social Security/Medicare tax
revenues to Afghanistan, they short the money supply at home, creating
a Recession to continue this vicious cycle of war without end...When too
many people compete for resources, there's always more profits available
for the Corporatist merchants of death. They are to the USA as sharks
are to the ocean.

This is untimately what happens when they have a private foreign banking
cartel UnConstitutionaly print our currency usurping the proper function of
the Treasury to both coin money, and print it's own currency to redeem it.
The Treasury is a public trust operating not for profit. If the Constitutional
power of the people to issue money through the public trust of the Treasury
were enforced, we would have Medicare for all in the USA. But as the greased
G people sold Banksters what they didn't own title to long ago, they sold us
out for Bribes. People are only now waking up to this pattern of subversion
of the Amercian way of life. Hence the OWS movement. Lets hope they have
enough sense on Capitol Hill to implement a computer program so they can
finaly read the laws they pass. As a writer, I revise the English constuctions
I use several times by proof reading them before they're concise enough to
be fit for others to read. When I do, my thoughts expressed in language are
said to have " good economy " Our State laws are condensed into paragraphs
you could read in an hour. Which would be the case in D.C. if they weren't
Bribed to let Corporations write 1,000 page bills they can't read as dirty tricks.

Ask the republicans.

With this Congress? Put your money on a Lotto Ticket!

Hang in there Time Lord, help is on the way. If we can vote the Republicans OUT OF the House and Senate this next cycle, we have a chance to IN THEIR OWN WORDS "take back our Country."

I for one am looking forward to what can be accomplished when we don't have the Party of No blocking the President at every turn. I want to see what the President's policies can accomplish if and when they are allowed to take place.

THEN if they fail or screw things up, the President has no one to blame but himself. As it stands right now, he may be the only one who is BLAMELESS.

I find it Hard to Disagree wolfess... =)

Nobama is a wolf in sheep's clothing as far as I'm concerned. Oh, I agree
that, like Hitler Bush, he's done some good things. But Mussolini also had
to do some good things. There's a statistical probability that anyone in the
oval office for 4 years, would have had to have done some good things.
I'm glad you called Nobama a sociopath. You hit the nail on the head. And
showed you're not stuggeling with the cognitive dissonance his mass media
mind controlled synchophants are. We can clearly see they're too quick to
act vicious & rabbid, as they presume their messaih can do no wrong, and
that a primary challenge from Sanders/Kucinich wouldn't be a dramatic
improvement. I do hope Congress does the right thing and passes the Jobs
bill before the end of the year, because it's necessary for the good
of the people of the USA, and not because that shitbag is pushing it.

I don't support Nobama or his corrupt synchophants Pelosi, and Reid ,
(They're too keen on fear tactics, manipulation, cronyism) , any more than
I support what they call republicans these days. They're both bad. Though
it will never occur to the imbeciles of this world they can't rightfuly call the
less worse, like Nobama, " good " ...And it will never occur to their pea
brains the Corporatists control both parties, are manipulating the voters
to vote for skunks no matter what corrupt Corporatist democrats & corrupt
Corporatist republicans we see foisted on us as a " choice ". Imho, the only
thing that could be worse that them is the propaganda we have rifles aimed
at us to vote for one or the other, when they're both essentiualy as lame same.

At least someone did some research on this issue as you did ,instead of shooting off their mouths and calling Obama a sociopath and a shitbag or worse. It's so easy to spout an opinion without much evidence to support it. This is about the providers not the patients...but some hate Obama so much that God forbid reason should get tin their way.

Yes it is about the providers. For them to say they will leave the system is BS, scare tactics.

HeHeee.... HoodWinked!!! =)

Awsome word, kb. Thats what I like about you. You pick out funny words.

Yes I guess at times I do... =)

Oh, I saw the shout board at msj. Your posts say your a guest now. You know you will be greatly missed there.

I saw it too... I was a bit let down that all of what I had to say was taken down... But the reply was Loud and Full... It did however share some of what I had to say... I must give Props to such a Half Ass reply, that only Cherry Picked the original broadcast by me....

A Lesson in Life, as soo many others.... For every PepperCorn, there is a Nut inside.... Know what I mean??? I Too will Miss posting there..... And will also Miss a long distance Friendship with another 98% like minded individual....

Yes, sometimes things are better off when you split. I just recently quit the band I was in for ten years. It was definently for the best.

Ha!!! What do you play???

A genuine imitation Epiphone Les Paul with a silver glitter finish. Exactly like one Ace Frehley of KISS used to play way back in the 70's. I love that axe!

That's Bad Ass noxidereus, I am still pretty new at playing, how long have you played for???

Thanks! I started playing about 18 years ago, but I started with playing bass. About 10 years ago I switched to guitar. I love playing heavy metal like Metallica and Trivium. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to play it in the last 3 years since I have a baby and a toddler. I'd say I was actually pretty good, but never great.

Nice axe! I llike Jacksons too. We should start a current band!

LOL, can we call it the "The Hanging Chads"

I have an Aria Bass... I never get to practice cos I live in an apartment complex... I will be moving to a house soon and the entire garage is going to be my Man Cave... =) Congrats on the youngters... =)

HEY ROCKY !!! LOOK AT THIS !!! ...Nothin' up my sleeve...
( Hey ! I ain't got no sleeve ) ,,,then Presto !!! Heh.

LOL!!! What's Shakin' PressCore, I missed this comment... =)

The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show. What a hoot they were during the 1960s.
Bullwinkle was the dunce who'd get excited at watching paint dry. Rocky
was the smart ass who'd always give the punchline. Too cool for school them.

I really enjoyed The Rocky and Bullwinkle show when I was young, glad to bring back some fond memories for you PressCore... =)

Thanks. Bullwinkle reminded me of Art Carney's character Ed Norton who
played the foil for Jacky Gleeson during their 1950s B.& W. comedy series,
He was nominated for an Academy Award for his performance.

Are you talking about the Honeymooners???

Oh, yeah. The lost episodes of 1954 were a drama. but then in 1955, they
revised it to a comedy, which went over better, and made it realy popular.

Cool, I was bit confused, Thanks... =)

That's about all i give credit to this administration Leen... "HoodWinked" LOL!!!! =)

I'm with you KB and I know I'm not alone, but I will get hell for saying this about Obama. Oh well...

Hell!!! This is an Open Forum.... I would be Pissed if Folks did Not share their opinions, it is Crucial that we do!!!! Positive or Negative or somewhere in the Valley of, It's Hard to give a F**K any longer.... =(

The man is the true definition of hoodwinked. He talks a beautiful talk, making us think one thing, then turns around and does the complete oppisite.

HOOD fn WINKED!

Thank you, KB. Yep, the wind has been knocked out of all our sails.

That's for sure, dugdog47.

Yes but we will continue to move forward... =)

Yes we will, KB.

We cannot win the fight by never fighting back, Leen... =)

That's true, KB :)

As I have already said, please have a great TGIFF, maybe see you this evening... =)

You have a great TGIFF as well and yes, I might see you this evening. :)

Please ignore the rabbid shitbags of this world. They're ignorant, so you should
appropriately ignore them. Thomas Jefferson was the first who advocated for
the human rights of the common man/woman because it was only fair since
they reflected the workforce. But being an educated man, he knew better than
to believe that as a majority, they'd be anything other than tyranical. As they
reflected the raw power of numbers, their demeanor would invariably be no
better than the nuissance of barking dogs. Jefferson wrote the 1st Amendment
not for the majority. There'd be no reason for him to do that for them, as they
had the strength in numbers to clamor for whatever was perceived mindlessly
popular, He wrote the 1st Amendment for the dissenters whom he knew would
be in the minority because they had enough integrity not to follow the crowd.
When the country was heading in the wrong direction, he knew the majority
would still support that unless there was some Constitutional right in place for
the minority to express a conscientious objection. Leen, Jefferson didn't want
you to be mum no matter how badly the Nobamabots attacked & abused you.

Thanks for your support, PressCore. I don't shy away from the potential attacks. I just acknowledge when I know they are coming. "Dissent is the Highest form of Patriotism." --Thomas Jefferson

Yes, it separates the canines from the felines. I've been attacked & abused
by the Nobamabots, and all their internet cowardice enough to put blood in
my eye. The trash who've made personal attacks & abuse will never see it
dawn on them that I loathe Nobama because of them per se, not because
of what evils he's done. At least he's important enough to have done some
thing attributable as weekly decent at times. But as the evil of this world has
to breath through its incarnations. It's they who provide the blind consent
for the evils he does, they ignore, to the detriment of our country. What I
feel for them is beyond the hatred owed to them as loosers.

PressCore, I'm in complete agreement with you. The apologists create just as much of a problem as Obama himself for rubber stamping his most despicable decisions and telling others to keep their criticisms to themselves so not to damage his presidency. He already has on his own.
