Malthusian crap. You do realize he was all wrong about that don't you? As it is we've managed to slaughtered some 40 million plus american citizens in our abortion mills. The result.............40 million immigrants both legal and otherwise took their place and many of them are talking about taking the southwest back. Just how much thought have you put into this issue?

Really! He took away the ownership from the stockholders (illegal) and gave it to the Unions (illigal) which caused the problems in the first place. The auto industry should have filed bankruptcy...then they would have gotten back on their feet legally, not thrown the stock holders under the bus (they would have received "some" compensation) and been able to break the Union contracts and get back to square one where they could actually function as a business!

Oh yes, we must have those that work redistribute their earnings so they can pay for all the medical costs of those that don't work and contribute. Right on! Socialist "fairness." That way we can jump right on to being Communists when BO and the government take over every single action within our lives!

The stimulus was a total waste of $'s and anyone with any understanding of economics whatsoever knew it. What a disaster!

Define "the poor." I believe he's done very well with both blacks and hispanics some of which are poor. On the other hand he hasn't fared so well with the poor and working poor whites. I see few inconsistancies among the arguments of conservatives.

It would appear that I have to. The birth control/fewer resources rant of yours is based on robert malthus' theories about overpopulation. Shouldn't you understand these theories and where they came from if you are to......repeat them?


As it is we've managed to slaughtered some 40 million plus american citizens in our abortion mills.or saved them?

I don't believe I would call slaughtering people.............saving them, but then I'm a conservative. The result of what the public option or abortion?
Abortion femi, do try to keep up.

40 million immigrants both legal and otherwise took their place did they line up outside abortion mills ...and take their place, literally?
This is why so many teachers quit early in their careers. No they walked across the border, like this.


and many of them are talking about taking the southwest back.not sure what that has to do with my comment.
I just thought I'd tho that in.

Just how much thought have you put into this issue? which one? the birth control or the the public option? You seem to be veering a bit off course with this posting.
This has everything to do with your "let's infuse our women with birth control" mantra. Trouble with comprehension again?

No. I just think he's a little "muddled" today. I'm sure he'll be fine. Just don't try too many taxing questions for him right now.

The auto industry should have filed bankruptcy...so should the banks, but you had no problem bailing them out did you?then they would have gotten back on their feet legally, not thrown the stock holdersthe stockholders didn't get thrown under the bus, they were making it impossible for the car industry to stop making those big gas guzzlers and people started buying European cars because they were already in an oil crisis. But those good ole, stock holders didn't want to give up their profits and make cars more modern, only bigger and more of a gas guzzler. They refused to allow the car makers to quit making those obscend SUV's and Hummers. under the bus (they would have received "some" compensation) and been able to break the Union contracts and get back to square one where they could actually function as a business!



The economy has done nothing but get worse since this idiot was elected He started with a horrible economy, couldn't get the wars wrapped up, because of the GOP couldn't get the tax giveaways stopped because of the GOp, he stopped the freefall, now has zero compromise from the right wing just say no congress. But his next time, it will have had enough time to right itself.



Oh yes, we must have those that work redistribute their earnings so they can pay for all the medical costs of those that don't work and contribute.who says those that got health care didn't work? My son qualified and he owns his own business, children can stay on their parents policies longer, the people with pre existing conditions now get to have health care. And the insurance industry is required to actually spend 80percent of their clients premium money on real insurance benefits instead of corporate CEO perks! All these people contribute as much as you do! How dare you be so freaking self-rightous Right on! Socialist "fairness." That way we can jump right on to being Communists when BO and the government take over every single action within our lives!You are just being ignorant when you make these types of statements......no one is contributing.....are you kidding me!



The stimulus was a total waste of $'s and anyone with any understanding of economics whatsoever knew it. What a disaster!
The people who kept their unemployment checks coming until they got employed again, the people who kept their jobs because the states got some Fed money, the auto industry, the clean air industry all seem to think the stimulus helped quite alot. If YOU had any understanding of economics, why would you think it was ok to bail out the banks and insurance and mortgate and hedge fund companies, then when they got their money, to arrange bonuses, vacations an more stock options to their top tier people, then for them to make RECORD BREAKING PROFITS from all that bailout money and hold on to every penny instead of putting it back into the American economy??????????????? How';s that for great economics??????
