Please Wait…
We got our Muslim-Marxist President in for a 2nd term and there's Nothing you can do!
Soon our Socialist Worker's Utopia will be realized on the Planet Earth, in the Country you once called America!
First we'll re-enact the "Obama Snitch-Line" where us Party faithfuls can report you Republicans and Teabaggers in, if you "get out of line".
Then we're going to Take away your Guns and Bibles and issue Muslim Prayer Rugs, so every morning you are forced to Pray towards Mecca.
Finally, we'll stack the Supreme Court with as many Socialists (aka Dems), Leninists, Marxists and Old-Style Soviet Commies as we can, and you can't stop us! And Judges are appointed for Life!
That should teach you Republicans and Teabaggers a "thing or two about a thing or two", for voting that idiot George Bush in for a 2nd term!
Do any of you have a "problem" with all this?
ps. Is this a Great post. or what?
pss. and Obama really was born in Kenya!
The letter was blunt. It said defending tax cuts for the rich was untenable. Indeed, it appears Credibility Analysts note while corporate profits are off the charts, employee wages have not kept up with the cost of living. The letter said demonizing socialism, while touting capitalism resulted in a major credibility withdrawal. They cited the words of Professor Jason Read, who said, "People who dismiss the unemployed and dependent as “parasites” fail to understand economics and parasitism. A successful parasite is one that is not recognized by it’s host, one that can make it’s host work for it without appearing as a burden. Such is the ruling class in a capitalist society."
Credibility Analysts also took Priebus and company to task for lying about the debt ceiling. The fact is Congress sets a budget, and the President is expected to implement the laws of Congress. Those laws include massive tax cuts, legal drugs for seniors, and those pesky war thingies. That costs money and the President must find it somewhere, and since tax collections are down, he has to borrow. That's the debt part of "debt ceiling".
When Congress keeps spending like drug addicts with their own prescription pads, the debt just keeps going up. So, Congress invented this debt ceiling to pretend they were being responsible. When their spending hit the ceiling, they used to quietly raise it. But today's Republicans have raised victimhood to an art and somehow they've made themselves the victims by spending too much and it's someone else's fault. They scream about it. That's how addicts are.
It's like this McConnell thing. Now, there's an addict for you. Obviously he knows he has a problem because he keeps screaming about wasteful government spending, but he just keeps taking government money. Heck, his wife was the Secretary of Labor for President George W. Bush. It's that addiction thing, and it leads to muddled thinking. That's why McConnell filibusters his own bills. There's that credibility thing. Addict or not, this guy has gotten very, very wealthy while he was sucking it up at the government trough. Check this out. http://apps.washingtonpost.com/politics/capitol-assets/member/mitch-mcconnell/
The letter to Priebus closed by saying that Republicans voted for so much spending while they were cutting revenue sources, that the economy had to crash, which it did just before Obama was elected. The Credibility Analysts say you really can't blame Obama for not cleaning up that kind of mess in just a few years. It's just not credible.
Account closed.

You and your ilk are the problem in this country and reflect the the candidate you support Willard the vulture capitalist.
Obama/Biden 2012 RMGH
1) Want military families serving in Afghanistan to pay taxes. 2) Want seniors (who built this country) barely surviving on Social Security and Medicare (which they paid for) to pay taxes. 3) Want students working and barely affording school to pay taxes. 4) Want to take away the mortgage deduction. 5) Want to take away the child tax credit. 6) Give billionaire donors millions in tax breaks. 7) Want coal miners, oil and gas workers, every hard working American, to pay a higher tax rate so that Romney can pay no taxes for investing in China.
Republicans need to stop calling our military families and seniors free loaders. Republicans need to agree with Democrats and President Reagan that all earnings are earnings and should be taxed as earnings, instead of saying Romney's earnings are "precious" while the rest of us hard working Americans are "free loaders".
Because he LIES so much.
Here are the facts about how this country is funded:
36% of all federal revenues now come from PAYROLL TAXES.
Only 17% of American households don't pay income or payroll taxes - mostly the disabled, elderly and students.
Rich folks like Mitt Romney, however, pay NO payroll taxes - since they don't count their income as wages.
And corporate taxes are at their lowest level in the industrialized era - down to only 8% of total federal revenues.
Sources of federal revenue, 2011
Sources of federal tax revenue, 1945-2010
Center on Budget and Policy Priorities:
When all federal, state, and local taxes are taken into account, the bottom fifth of households pays about 16 percent of their incomes in taxes, on average. The second-poorest fifth pays about 21 percent.
That's more than Mitt paid.
1.The Republican war on women has taken its toll. Romney did not support the Lilly Ledbetter act and if he could he would pick Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe v. Wade.
2.Romney lost the Hispanic vote with his self-deportation comments and his unwillingness to support the dream act. Hard working minority groups deserve to be respected for their efforts and they are not hearing that from Romney.
3.Romney's callous comments that 47% of the country is dependent on government, many of whom are Republicans and senior citizens. And it's true that he does not worry about "those people".
4.Romney is on the wrong side of the issues. Seniors do not want Medicare to be replaced with couponcare. People do not want to pay more taxes so the wealthy can pay fewer taxes. People may not like big government, but they want their water and air to be clean, their food to be germ free, solid roads and bridges, quality healthcare, and their kids to receive a good education.
5.Romney's personal character flaws have been exposed: the lying, the flip-flopping, the pandering, the hiding of his personal wealth in the Cayman Islands, his lack of compassion for middle-class Americans, his lack of knowledge in foreign affairs.
The media wants to keep the drama alive by reporting on every detail of every event. They say Romney could turn it around at the debates. Who really believes that? The incumbent always has the advantage as he deals with the details every day. Romney has been told to be specific, but he can't or won't. He has no positive vision for America.
Romney's support comes from seniors, the very wealthy 1%ers, male Republicans who have always vote their party instead of their pocketbook, and those who disdain President Obama. These are overlapping groups and at best may comprise 48% of the population. Already we are seeing down-ballot candidates abandoning Romney and running their individual campaigns as if their job depends on it…because it does.
"Romney appears to conflate a few things — Obama's approval rating, the percentage of people who do not pay income taxes and people who rely on government assistance.
"There may be some overlap between these groups but they really are not the same thing."
In fact, while Romney seemed to say that the president will draw most of his support from those who pay no income taxes, a Tax Foundation map highlighting the 10 states with the highest percentages of "non-payers" shows most are Republican territories:
— Alabama
— Arkansas
— Florida
— Georgia
— Idaho
— Louisiana
— Mississippi
— New Mexico
— South Carolina
— Texas
hahahaha Romney insulted his own voters
He won't specify which tax loopholes he'd close
He won't say which federal agencies he'd eliminate
He won't say whether he'd support the Paycheck Fairness Act
He won't say whether he supports the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
He won't say whether he'd support full reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act
Mitt Romney – The transparent candidate
He won't say why he made dozens of trips to Bain between 1999 and 2002
He won't release past tax returns as his father did
He won't tell us why he approved a $75 million investment in an abortion affiliated business
He won't release the names of his bundlers
He won't tell us why he took all the hard drives with him when left the Governorship
He won't tell us how he "lost" all his records from the 2002 Winter Olympics
