Talipublicans last efforts

It seems like the Repubs are in a last ditch effort to spew out every
last bit of prejudice rhetoric that they can, as they go down with their
sinking ship!

Let's take the children away from all the single parents!

Let's put divorcees in concentration camps with all the gays!

Let's protect America from all the abnormal people!

Let's steralize all the misfits!

Let's arrest everyone who doesn't go to church on sunday!

Let's euthanize anyone wh isn't Catholic!

We are fighting the Taliban enemy and they are us!

The world can be repopulated by Christian, skinheads named Adolph!

Let's just let the GOP get it all out in the open so they can have their say
before we put the whole party to rest for contracting terminal stupidity.

Where do we draw the line?
Why do people still vote for these nuts?

Sorry that this is so mean and stirs up bad emotions but this is what they are saying...
Either you do what we want you to do or we'll pass laws that make your life miserable
because, well, we just don't like people who are different from us!

KMA!

Edited for spelling - Oh let's criminalize spelling errors! Yeh, that's the ticket!!

IT people worth more - Continuing the 30 year wage war.

Where else do you have someone who works 60 hours a week and then goes home and continues to improve their skills which is a benefit to the employer?

How many times have you been stuck and had to call your IT resource to get you out of trouble?

With all these computers, what would you do without all the knowledgable IT people?

This is just a continuation of corporations moving responsibility down to lower levels and then reducing salaries as they go.

People used to work 16 hour days so they started labor laws to cut work to 40 hour weeks.
Then they began to classify employees as "exempt" so they were exempt from overtime pay.
Now you can work employees for 60-80 hours a week and not pay them overtime. One step foreward - two steps back. There needs to be a stipulation that a certain amount of overtime for a coutinued period of time qualifies an exempt employee for overtime compensation (and not at the disgression of the manager).

What happened the last time our congress negated laws protecting "We The People"?
Oh yes, we went into a recession because the banks reduced the qualifications for home mortgages!
We need to start to make laws "stick". They were made for a reason.
Now we have to work for years to get ourselves back to a place where we can even hope to
live and retire as well as our parents did.

We're screwed. Let's fight for the next generation at least!!

Prices go up by leaps and bounds

Prices used to go up a nickle here and a dime there. Now, everytime you see an increase it goes up 20-50%.

Just gas, heating oil and food have taken up everyone's discretionary income.

When they deregulated the power industry in Delaware our bills went up 67%.

Now, there is no money left to rebuild the economy.

Nice going MORONS!

Thanks - excellent example of misinformation

I will use this in many future discussions.

I am so disapointed in how many people lie.

The politicians just say it's politics. I say it's propaganda amd it's dishonest.
We should at least, expect that our government leaders will give us the truth
so we can elect our leaders and make decisions about the future. there seem to be
very few honorable people anymore.

Our society really disapoints me.

Hey, keep up the fight!

As always - Stupid people misquoting....

Sanitorium said, “To say that people of faith have no role in the public square?

That's not what Kennedy said.

The idea is that you can have all the religion you want and that makes you
feel and think in certain ways and your ideals will make you vote a certain way.
You are allowed to support whatever you like as far as law and policy.

Just don't spew out some verse from the bible or Koran or Holy scripture
in order to support your views.

I don't think we should have a law that says you should bathe in the river because you are unclean.
and
what about the Jews? Do they get to pass laws that say no one can eat pork?
and the Jews don't stand there and try to pass laws based on the old testament.

Therefore: Having Sanitorium propose laws that limit insurance coverage to all
American people is moronic. You provide full insurance coverage to all people
and the one's who don't believe in abortion and birth control will not take advantage
of that part of the coverage.

I know I am preaching to the choir but I have never heard anyone support full
insurance coverage using this argument and I feel the need get it out there
so others may use it if they want to.

So the FCC accepts propaganda as O.K.

Do we have a minister of propaganda assigned yet?

Where is the oversight?

You know how to save money?
We get rid of all the oversight committees because they don't do their jobs anyway!
That ought to save us billions!

Maybe they don't like others doing what they deny themselves

First they say that conservative people like rules and regulations.

But I think they have a desire to make a choice every now and then. So, they are tempted. But they would feel guilty.

Then, they see others stepping outside the boundaries and
they want to participate more and more. But, they would feel quilty.

So, they have to stop the others from stepping outside so they don't feel badly and aren't tempted.

Sanitorium has a child with a genetic disorder. Maybe misery loves company and he wants others to be in the same boat.
Not only does he want to stop abortions. I would bet he would force everyone to be Catholic, too.

Just a thought.

Neverless, the bottom line is that he's a pain in the ass.

I don't force others to do all the fun things I do in my life.
I don't expect them to tell me I have to participate in their misery.

People need to be very frightened - we joke now...

We took my mother to be checked and the doctor said she had "mild" Alzheimer's.
This was at a point when we were trying to decide whether it was safe for her to live alone.
This shows the urgency the medical profession has for this desease.

At work we all would joke about having senior moments when we forgot what we were
trying to say - these people are in their late 40's and early 50's

I asked my optometrist if he had a test to detect B-amyloids in the eye and he said it was still experimental. So, my mother-in-law was going to get cataracts removed and I had her ask - they said the same thing - still experimental.

this month's Reader's Digest has a Dr. saying not to worry to a 50 year old about forgetting where they parked the car - He said "It's normal".

We need to protest this thinking by our medical profession and get them moving on preventitive care instead of accepting the fact that people start to forget in their 40's. This is unacceptable!

Picture yourself sitting in a chair and just realizing that you can't figure out why your in a strange room and you find out you've been living with your daughter's family for the past 6 months before you slip back into a catatonic stupor. This is scarey stuff, folks. We need to impress upon people what an epidemic we are facing here.

Repugs trying to piss off the whole country

This is absolutely unbelieveable!!!

The GOP is systematically pissing off everyone in the country
just during an election year.

The only thing I can think of is that the GOP is going to show the
world how they can be the most hated people in society and still
manage to steal the next election.

If a Republican is elected president in 2012 I am going to join
the Franciscan order because it will be the only safe place to be.
These people are nuts!

Another parallel to Repug conservatism

First the Taliban, now Uganda.

Shows a parallel to the negativity of conservative thought.

We can look with disdain at the Taliban and Uganda
and hopefully see the idiocy of the conservatives in the
U.S. and their fight against women's rights and gays.

Wake up people. The old ways of superstition and fear need to be put to rest.

Please. Enough is enough.
