Christine O'Donnell: A New Low

[rb336]

I don't know how that could've happened?

Speaking of witches, there really is only one way to know for sure.

Take her to the yukon and see if her tit is as cold as a nasty winter day?

I know one thing about the Tea Party... "they want to take back America".... but from whom?? The government.... or big business??

Can the two be seperated anymore?

[gibran]

Koch brothers are the financial giants behind the tea party candidates and their agendas..guess what business they own...guess who their father was...[[hint: a founding member of the John Birch Society)...

Someone to counter-balance George Soros and his "endeavors".

No wonder the anti-Tea Party crowd is p.o.'d!

Christine also made some wacky statement about companies merging the DNA of humans AND mice and they had supposedly create mice with functioning human brains.

20 bucks says there is probably a sex tape with her out there just waiting to be released.

If there isn't, I'm sure that someone will make one with a lookalike very soon.

Ah yes, Soros, cons favorite whipping boy.

Why is it whenever someone calls out the Koch Bros, T. Boone Pickens, Rupert Murdoch, and any right wing organization like the J. B. Society, or the Annenburg Foundation, cons feel the need to drag his name up? Is that supposed to justify a lack of argument?

Not PO'd at all. Just disgusted.

Let's put it to you like this.

With the Tea Partiers, it's not "We the People".

It's more like "We the Stupid".

Krugman's Nobel Prize was for his work on international trade. That is about the only area where his economic work is respected. Few other economists respect his work and comments in other areas because he lets his political beliefs dictate his economic opinions.

Got your prize yet?

Got any evidence that he's wrong?

Again with the blaming of Bush. Bush is no longer in office. and last time I checked,

Neither is Hitler, but he still caused WWII.

Gov't spending and ill-thought out programs didn't bring us out of that depression, in fact, it actually worsened it.

Government war spending is generally credited with ending the great depression, and you can't find a bigger waste of money than the military.

And these people gave Pres. B.O. and award for doing...what?

For not being that clueless idiot Bush or that Fascist warmonger Cheney. The entire world breathed a huge sigh of relief that the U.S. had finally come to its senses. That's more than most people will ever accomplish. Let's see, Jimmy Carter and Al Gore won the Peace Prize too, didn't they? I think the Dems are on a roll!

Why does this surprise you that when the government is banging the drum claiming the the "rich" are bad,

You're dreaming! The government has been extremely generous to them! That's why they're taxed at a lower overall rate than I am.

and that they will "balance" things [["From each according to their ability...), the rich move their money offshore?

Not to mention our jobs. Maybe we should offshore the rich. Who needs Paris Hilton anyhow?

Drop the party dogma and encourage that money be kept and spent here.

How? By throwing money at the Koch brothers? http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2...0fa_fact_mayer

But I want a better return on my retirement than SS can ever hope to offer, including flexibility.

Remember, SS is both a retirement system and an insurance system. You shouldn't expect the same return you would on investments alone. Also, whatever happened to the Republican proposal to privatize SS and let people invest in the stock market? Good thing we didn't listen to them, eh?

But the government is deathly afraid of the loss of control it has over its citizens, when they are no longer dependent on their government.

Pushhht! What rubbish! The "government" is "US"! It's how WE do things for OUR common benefit.

Who do you thinks funds these little endeavors?

Charitable contributions from millions of disenchanted progressives?

Actually, yes. Do your homework. I'm not gonna do it for you.

Plenty!

Take Pres. B.O. economic advisers:

Christina Romer - Keynesian

Larry Summers - Keynesian

Peter Orszag - Keynesian

And what do these three all have in common [[besides destroying the economy even further)?

[MCP-001]

Actually, yes. Do your homework. I'm not gonna do it for you.

I'll tell you what, when I have more time than I have today, I just might do that [[again).

Godwin's Law is proven, yet again!

Government war spending is generally credited with ending the great depression, and you can't find a bigger waste of money than the military.

I believe that I said that on another thread. Not that it's a waste, but that WWII was the real thing that ended the Great Depression.

That's more than most people will ever accomplish. Let's see, Jimmy Carter and Al Gore won the Peace Prize too, didn't they? I think the Dems are on a roll!

Tell me if they're still breathing that sigh come November [[The questions asked during CNBC's Town Hall earlier this week should be a wake-up call to you by now). Notice a lot of housecleaning and policy changes from Pres. B.O.?

Bill Clinton's epiphany in '94 comes to mind.

But since meaningless prices are so important to you, I'll mail an official no-prize to you for playing. Does that sound good?

You're dreaming! The government has been extremely generous to them! That's why they're taxed at a lower overall rate than I am.

Boy, you're right that they're generous!

I can't help but wonder why?

Not to mention our jobs. Maybe we should offshore the rich. Who needs Paris Hilton anyhow?

Maybe you haven't seen this. It's where the "new" jobs are going. OABTW, They can keep that druggie Paris Hilton.

I'd rather deal with someone who can make money year after year, than a government that has us in debt over our eyeballs to the Chinese.

Remember, SS is both a retirement system and an insurance system. You shouldn't expect the same return you would on investments alone. Also, whatever happened to the Republican proposal to privatize SS and let people invest in the stock market? Good thing we didn't listen to them, eh?

And you remember, if you diversify, then you can still come out ahead in the long-term. Only a fool dumps everything into Wall Street.

Besides, with SS, once you're gone, so is your money. With something similar to the Galveston Plan, you have something to pay off your final expenses afterwards. Unless being tossed into a Potter's Field appeals to you?

Pushhht! What rubbish! The "government" is "US"! It's how WE do things for OUR common benefit.

Again, I keep hearing "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need", every time I hear the "common benefit" argument. If you want collectivism. go to China or Cuba.

MCP-001:
Regarding your article about the number of people who don't pay income taxes. As the article says, most of those people make under $50k which is less than the U.S. median income . You might well ask, why hasn't the median income kept pace with other parts of our economy? Why has it barely moved since 1975 while the super-rich continue to get richer at an increasing rate?

Great question!

I give you a very precognizant warning from 20-years ago.

Or, better yet.

The Monroe Doctrine? Hide under a blanket and pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist?

Or were you referring to the British Colonial Era?
