Bush lied, thousands died, Obama lied, wedding licenses denied...big difference

just sayin


I should have thought this through a little better.

I was just reacting to the rightwingers who love to call Obama a liar.

Michelangelo Signorile on Sirius made me think of it when he mentioned W and his lies vs this lie.

If I could delete the whole thread I would.

sorry

Alright, ONE MORE TIME, it is NOT Democrat Party, it is DemocratIC Party

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrat_Party_%28epithet%29




"Democrat Party" is a political epithet used in the United States for the Democratic Party. The term has been used in negative or hostile fashion by conservative commentators and members of the Republican Party in party platforms, partisan speeches and press releases since 1940.[1]


I just saw it used in a Huff Post article.

This is a big deal, I know many of you say it isnt.

It is.

PLEASE expose it and complain about it EVERY TIME you see it!

Wonder why folks with the most to lose, minorities,are the last to claim no difference in 2 parties

Weird how that is.

Weird that the folks who still struggle daily for their rights to equality, whether that be African Americans, Latino Americans or Gay people, are probably the LAST people you will see making the argument that there is not enough difference between the two parties to make voting for whoever the Dem is, worthwhile.



yeah, that is what i thought

Why do rightwing billionaires spend hundreds of millions on elections if both parties are the same?

Discuss

I am especially interested in hearing someone explain to me that both parties are the same.

But everyone please respond, is it possible this could be enlightening to some?




p.s. not talking about certain Wall Street people or corps who tend to spend on both candidates, talking about people like the Walton's and Koch's, they do NOT spend on both.

WHY do you think that is?

The day Obama was elected, the USA put the brakes on everything.

The republican party had a meeting in which they agreed that if they had to destroy the country, the economy, to get that black guy out of the WH, that is what they would do.

The courts, SC, took on every case they had no business taking on, all directed at destroying any rights minorities had, any rights voters had, any rights workers had.

The country had to be thrown into complete chaos and it didnt matter what institutions had to be destroyed or how many Americans had to be made homeless or killed, NOTHING mattered other than destroying the black man in the WH.

period


Whether it is the space program or civil rights or infrastructure or whatever the issue is, the right made certain NOTHING went forward and EVERYTHING was stopped in its tracks.

The republican party was on record saying


"Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban," Sessions said during a meeting yesterday with Hotline editors. "And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes. And these Taliban — I'm not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that's not what we're saying. I'm saying an example of how you go about [sic] is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with."

Now I see this as treason and probably it isnt technically but I dont know another word to use.

Many Americans dont even know this shit is happening...

When SC guts ACA, in complete contradiction of all legal common sense and reality, what do the

people do when a SC is acting solely politically with no legal qualifications what so ever?

What do we do?

There is NO legal ground, AT ALL, to overturn ACA, all credible legal minds agree.

WHEN they do it, does that mean the rules are changed?

Do we still keep obeying the Oligarchs rules?

February 7, 2015

SC 5 and righty HATES ACA because a black man gets credit for it, and they are about to

gut the law, and that way they can take away the black man's legacy.

Count on it...

I pray not, but they will.

And, the business people who lose out like health insurance people will be able to say:

"Damn that Obama for getting us involved in a scheme that isnt even legal"

when of course it is so legal, jesus I hope this starts a REAL revolution.

Just plan on working your dead end job until you literally drop dead on the job.

As long as middle class Americans keep defending horrible business practices by companies like Walmart or Target and many many others. you will have this problem.

Have some fun with this calculator

http://livingwage.mit.edu/

Now how many chain stores, for instance, or chain restaurants etc, would pay enough for a LIVING WAGE for one person to support a spouse and one child?

Unless you think the new normal is just fine, i.e. You and your spouse will work full time jobs, each, you will not retire when you start on social security because you wont be able to survive and you will both work until you die.

Have fun...if we let the oligarchs and the corps do this to us, we deserve it.

Just sayin...and the reason I say that is I see middle class Americans defending this shit all day long...
