are senate republicans stupid or so whacked out they sound like it.

newt declares his opposition to sharia law. doesn't he remember the first amendment.

republicans voted for bush's idiotic tax cut for the wealthiest among us, to end this year. now they want to resurrect it.

i almost hope they take back the senate and the congress so i can see my country go belly up before i shuffle off, but with the help of tea people, i don't see it happening.

recent pols show what i have been claiming, americans are getting disenchanted with the mother superior grizzly bear. less then 30% think she is worth listening to any more. it's like a finger that turns green under a fake gold ring.

the cadre of, limbaugh, o'rielly, hannity, and the number one wacko, beck represent a small but ignorant minority, that most of don't come in contact with except here where it is fun.

Pass the popcorn. Lightly salted, please.

O.K.

Good Morning Rick!

I'm going to have to start opening these posts at the theater. Much much closer to the popcorn.....

Rick: Politicians are pretty much the same everyone. This isn't a Republican problem - it's a U.S. problem. Both sides of the fence are filled with the stench of rot. I say out with all of them and let's start over. Tea party? Not sure if that's precisely the way to go.......Libertarian? Maybe......

All I know is neither side is willing to work together even though they say they are. The stench from these people is nausiating.......

Ooppsss....."Everyone" should say "everywhere" (fat fingers and anger don't mix when typing...)

RE#5 Yep,

I am with you on this one.

re: "limbaugh, o’rielly, hannity, and the number one wacko, beck"

I usually relegate these PERFORMERS to the "Archie Bunker" category. They get LOTS of airtime (read: advert revenue) because they pull in listeners/eyeballs; no denying the #s How many #1 books does Back have?).

I believe this is because they are an outlet for the frustration felt in the general public. But at the end of the day, they do this by 'any' means because # of viewers/listeners is the yardstick. Being controversial keeps the $ flowing as they play on and appeal to the worst in us: I try to keep both the righty-tighty and lefty-loosey wingnut outlets in check and look at facts. These left & right entertainers appeal to the emotional element - not my idea of rational approach.

Works great for Presidents.......it'll work great for all the other hacks in gubment office also.

1. "newt declares his opposition to sharia law. doesn’t he remember the first amendment."

Yes, he's exercising his right to free speech to speak out against it, it being a totally unconstitutional system of laws.

"republicans voted for bush’s idiotic tax cut for the wealthiest among us, to end this year. now they want to resurrect it."

Wrong again. Back in 2002 they wanted to make them permanent, but to get it passed they compromised with the Democrats who wanted to sunset it. Are you jealous of the rich Rick? Why should they pay not only more taxes than you do, but a higher percentage of their income? The whole progressive tax system is based on the idea of socialism anyway, which I disagree with but I guess you don't.

???

How do we start with "senate republicans" and then hear only about Newt, Rush, Hannity and Beck?

Rick, you're confused as to who the politicians really are.

Here's a hint: Obama and the democrats own the hill.

Sorry Rick, you can't blame the Republicans for everything. They don't hold the power anymore.

What is the second word in

Sharia Law?

Sure, knock yourselves out restricting your own women and your own diets, etc.

You are free to live by a more restrictive code of behavior than the rest of us if you'd like.

But when it comes to LAW restricting actions of ME, or the application of justice as part of the role of GOVERNMENT...

Keep Sharia out of it.

Likewise old testament

Torah

Book of Mormon

L Ron Hubbard

Whatever other really really old book some folks consider their Word of God

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

Abraham Licoln

wow! Great quote Lumpa, that Lincoln guy...

===================================================

Please follow your own advice sometime. Also stop judging (i.e. blaming) anyone that doesn't "think" like you.

Your replies are entertaining sometimes (not really) becuase they generally result in immediately pointing the finger right back at someone as if there is no way in H-E-double-hockey-sticks that you're thinking is flawed. We should all be so fortunate as you to know all the answers to solve all the problems.

Lumpa,

RE: Post #16

Yes we can.
