Despite reports today indicating that Democrats and Republicans have settled on a $33 billion compromise figure on the budget showdown, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said there's no such agreement.
"There's no agreement on numbers," Boehner said today in his weekly news conference, "and nothing will be agreed to until everything is agreed to."
He contended: "Democrats are rooting for a shutdown."

No agreement means no story...end of story...
Boehner is the most orange idiot I have ever seen! He is an absolute mockery of all that is civilized.
I have to give it to the Teabaggers and republicans, they are most entertaining (in a tragic kind of way).
The party of "spend" doesn't even acknowledge our country and states are broke...they just spend, spend, spend. Of course, it is the tax payers' money, but they (the Senate and House) get their big fat salaries, free cars so why should they care. In California, they all get free cars as if they need them.
A little early to be hitting the bottle... No?
I think it's commonly referred to as being between a rock & a hard place lol
Couldn't happen to a 'nicer' clown!
Hey Feisty old gal - what was the last contact, labor, or any other type of dispute you were involved in negotiating?
Have you ever negotiated a settlement or resolution of anything?
If so what, and what was your role?
Come on, it's going to be a slow day, let's hear what specialized knowledge, skill, or training you bring to this discussion.
And disputes between you and the bartender when he cuts you off, do not count.

Ha Ha.
The intelligence coming out of FOX NEWS is a joke beyond farcical proportions.
Truly, if the Grim Weeper should hit anything it should be that clueless Eric Cantor for putting all t-baggers on the level of a grade schooler.
Hey, the “Government Shutdown Prevention Act” will Not become the law of the land. untill it passes the Senate and President Obama's signature"; and it won't
That's right Speaker Boehnor bop your # 2 guy, Cantor one. Not only are you righties confused about numbers; but now it's the way bills are made too!!!
Don't forget Boehner's little lap dog Cantor:
Uh Oh! Looks like someone flunked ‘School House Rock'!

Maybe it’s just me, but, shouldn’t the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives be erudite in the legislative process?
I mean is that TOO much to ASK?
Just a thought…?
So that'd be a big nothing, eh Feisty.
Can't say any of us are too surprised. But do keep commenting like you are informed.
Hey Spank! You sure do spit them questions out fast. So proud you've learnt how to think that quick. It's a pity your ilk can't come up with any answers to help America except cut and give to KOCH and their ilk. What are you trying to say about Boehner? What does this story have to do with Feisty's skill set in negotiations? Can you stay on subject please? You try and explain the babblings of Boehner on this; a drunk herding cats speaking nonsense "Well...uh...we can't..mm...we won't agree..everything will not be agreed to til y'all...NO! NO! NO! Stay together now! You freshmen stay in line! CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!"
Get my meaning, Spank? You won't know what the deal is until OBAMA announces it. He's the key player that get's to you right wingers like a bee in a bonnet at an Easter parade. A black president who knows how to multitask all aspects of his job just rubs some folks raw now don't it. Now speaking of your negotiation skill sets, this man has it down to an art.
LOL! GAWD I LOVE THIS!
Howdy there Missy!
I did done "learnt" myself real good.
Now let's talk math there a minute Missy.
We currently incur $5 billion per day in debt service on the existing debt. Can you calculate what that, all by its lonesome, adds to the debt?
Now Boehner, and particularly the tea party ain't takin' too kindly to that, or the fact that we are about to hit the debt ceiling - $14 Trillion, plus.
So we need to cut spending. $.40 of every dollar is borrowed. That is bad. Now Boehner and the rest want to cut a paltry $60 billion, i.e. about two months worth of increases from debt service alone. That is ridiculous.
But even more ridiculous is the Dems who really don't want to cut anything.
Now me, I reckon I don't care what color Obama is. I'm concerned that our children will be talkin' Chin-y, cause that's who'll own this country at this rate.
You get my meaning there cowgirl?
And Sick - it has actually been more fun today with Dangerfield, but hey, the day is young.
Spanky
Maybe all the cuts the repugnants want are just unrealistic. They do not want compromise, they don`t want the rich to contribute more. They are just a bunch of heartless bast.... Has anyone of them cut their pay and benefits. Do they ever have to sacrifice anything. What would you cut and feel good about?
WOW.....ruthless Teabaggers has J. Boehner the tan man squeezed........aha it's baseball season.
So that's where 'orange' juice comes from! lol

"Democrats are rooting for a shutdown"
That is a very true statement. Dems want to pander to their parasitic interest groups, who feed at the public trough.

Booby Trap,
Enough with this parasite business ; yesterday you called me a Chicago parasite. But, you failed to mention, you being the Koch Sucker, that you are; are doing some serious clinging.
You're one angry woman Bev. If it's not Fox News you're pissed off at it's somebody else that disagrees to your views. It's amusing though, thank you for the laughs.
Get yourself a 3 Wolves and a Moon shirt and you won't be so angry and you MIGHT be right for a change.
The regulars here have Bev, Feisty, USNavy and 3 or 4 other liberal whack jobs on ignore so we don't have to read their BS. It makes for a more enjoyable experience.
That's strange...so do we ;o)
Hey - look at that... something we agree on! lol

You mean collaspe don't you; coward? Why did you read my last post. Come on you can tell me. I promise I won't let the other timid xenophobes know. BTW: You just got here. You don't even know your way around yet.
If it's enjoyment you're looking for masochist, you might try FOX NOISR, BIG GOVERNMENT, PAJAMAS MEDIA or any other psychotic right wing site.

Yeah, that pesky Freedom Of Speech thingie gets in the way sometimes, doesn't it...but you were for it before you were against it, right?
Democrats are beyond ignorant.
This is their political posturing at it's worst. There are 22 Democrats in the Senate up for re-election in 2012. The Party of KNOW, The Republican party, only needs three seats more to have a Republican majority in the Senate. This is only the natural order of the universe. Democrats are an abberation. Even being refered to as a Democrat will soon be considered an insult. ( Like calling someone an idiot).
I am a Democrat and the last thing on God's green earth I or anyone wants is for the government to be shut down. It will cause great harm to our military servicemen, retirees, postal employees and so much more. Government checks will not go out. This will hurt real people who count on those checks for food and living expenses. The GOP can keep saying this lie that Democrats want a shutdown when they are the only ones working toward causing and insisting on a shutdown. Good Lord, have you people no sense at all. The republicans came in and have done nothing but harm the government by not approving a budget and now by acting like simpletons when dealing with the government of the United States of America.
Vicki...
You Go Girl,hammer to the head of the nail.
How to grow jobs, the economy, remain competitive, and eliminate the deficit:
1. Legislatively remove the anti-trust exemption for insurance, The McCarran-Ferguson Act.
2.. Legislatively restrict the wetlands definition of "navigable waters of the United States" in the Clean Water Act.
3. Fund and begin construction of power generation and water supply projects necessary to meet future population and industrial demands.
4. Remove all geographic restrictions on oil and natural gas drilling, and use the power of federal money transfers to the States to prevent States and local governments from interfering with drilling.
5.. Remove environmental restrictions and environmental and social impact requirements for all infrastructure and utility construction for the next 10 years.
6.Cut Federal budget by 10% excluding defense, starting with those duplicative items identified in the 3/1/11 GAO report and Presidents Debt Commission, however, maintain current spending for infrastructure construction, repair and upgrade for the next 5 years. Repeal the Davis-Bacon Act.
7. Reduce corporate tax rates by 50%. Reduce Corporate tax rates by 70% on private utilities and transport companies.
8. Reinstitute significant tax and assistance payments for residential and commercial alternative energy instillations, particularly focusing on residential solar. Use Commerce Clause to force all electrical utilities to be reverse metering.
9. Subsidies the further development of electric and hybrid electric cars. Provide significant tax breaks and incentives for the purchase of same, particularly when combined with the purchase of a residential solar instillation within two years of one another. This is no longer a simple market issue, but one of national security as the time to substitution is longer than the economy can withstand when confronted with a supply side shock
10. Eliminate the Ethanol subsidy for any and all processes using foodstuffs. Redirect monies to nuclear and coal. Streamline regulation of new construction of nuclear power plants and provide incentives for same. Open Yucca Mountain as originally agreed.
11. Eliminate any power of the EPA to regulate Carbon.
12. Use the power of the Federal purse to eviscerate Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005) and Tahoe-Sierra Preservation Council, Inc. v. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, 535 U.S. 302 (2002),
13. Repeal the Community Reinvestment Act.
14. Hold congressional investigations into the roll of the Community Reinvestment Act, Freddie and Fannie in inflating demand and thus prices resulting in the collapse of the real estate market.
15. Build a wall embedded with sensors and toped with razor wire along both our borders, beginning with the southern one. In the name of national security remove all environmental restrictions and environmental and social impact requirements for the construction of same.
16 Pass legislation that all jurisdictions receiving federal monies of any sort are required to enforce all of the laws of the land, including enforcement of federal immigration laws.
17. Restrict the collective bargaining power of State civil service unions in line with the 1978 Federal Civil Service Reform Act
18. Scrap the tax code and adopt a flat-tax that will build the size of the pie (and thus tax revenues) for everyone instead of the Obama class warfare of trying to redistribute a shrinking one.
19. Revisit New York Times v. Sullivan and remove the "actual malice" requirement to improve the quality, objectivity and accuracy of media reporting,
This garbage must be right out of the Tea Bagger play book. No way.
LOL #15 is particulary disturbing! ;o)
They've posted this same post for weeks now... rinse - spin & repeat! lol
Do you seriously want to eliminate EPA regulations? I thought cancer rates are high enough in this country as it is. Think about who that clause is really for. It's not for the people, teabaggers, it's for the companies who don't want to pay money to clean up their own messes. Use a little common sense, y'all.
Remove tax cuts for the richest 2% and remove corporate tax loopholes—we'll have the budget balanced in no time.
Fences? Less regulations? Flat tax? Regurgitated GOP talking points! Thanks for the list of BS.
Oh, Fiona111. So silly.
How much money do you suppose would be generate by removing Obama tax cuts for the wealthies 2%? Heck, how much money would be generated if the 2% were taxed at 99%?
Now compare that to the deficit. I know math is hard, but it don't lie.
Say Fiona111, how do you feel about the fact that Immelt's company paid no taxes? He is after all Obama's boy.
Signed that MoveOn pledge yet to get rid of Immelt?
devie - is Fiona111 using a "talking point?"
You don't like talking points, right?
The 435 billionaire's and the 2.4 million millionairs have a total wealth of $7 trillion at the end of 2009 - down from $8 trillion in 2005. If you confiscate every dime they have you only pay off half of the National Debt. Then what are you gonna do???
Lets go back to Clinton era tax rates and budgets. That will raise the top 2% taxes by $70 billion per year and the bottom 98% taxes by $330 billion per year. Will guarantee 0bummer is a 1 termer for sure. Oh and lets go back to Clinton's last budget while we are at it - 2001 budget was passed on time and on his watch (Oct 2000) and was just under $2 trillion. I will take those tax rates and budgets. I would even take the 2005 budget of $2.5 trillion. Looks like peanuts to what this moron is spending - ($3.7 trillion)
Sounds reasonable.
But if we all paid our fair share we would be okay. It makes no sense corps paying no taxes. and the very wealthy paying little. The greed in this country is disgusting and the ones that support it are no better. I am all for small businesses getting breaks and I know putting the burden on them could kill a business, but these mega corps need to open their wallets If they choose to go elsewhere so be it they should be taxed even more. When the American people can not afford their crap maybe then they`ll get the picture. They screw us we screw them.
The cut all budgets 10% except defense clause makes every other clause BS. Your Mommy is hollering down the stairs. Dinner is ready!
You don't like clean air or water for your kids much either huh??? And wetlands help provide food and work.
Poor Leader Boner(sp intentional) forced by the TEA PARTY affiliates not true TEA Partiers to choose and again the poor fool chose a group whose life is ephemeral. John has a difficult time you see when he was sweeping up that bar that brings tears to his eyes he often sampled the wares and stepped over the line to addiction. In fact an in depth investigation based on his behavior patterns would surely reveal he has been in treatment for his alcoholism and that is where he developed his penchant for those orange tans to explain frequent absences. John boy needs to learn that taking orders from Canter is foolish. Hell Canter doesn't even knwo what is needed for a bil to become a law as he openly stated just yesterday. Shut it down and make certain no one is there to print the paychecks of all the politicians. By the way when is their payday? April7th I would bet.
Bob-1887910
You hate the smear, you said so yourself, so what's with all the bile?
Define the smear Danger.
Are not special interest groups, by their very nature parasitic?
Is there not a large group or people and groups, on both side, sucking at the tit?
Dems pander, that's just reality, right? What he said about the specific group he reference is accurate, the fact that it could have been said about another group does not make it less accurate.
Or do you find it a smear by omission?
Spanky
Stop shouting......Johny Boy is in pain.
You aren't bob...and I'm neither fish nor fowl here so I don't know why you'd ask me. Read my posts, I cast a pox upon both your houses...:)
No answer eh, Danger?
Pox away, but you asked bob a question, which I assume you wanted answered.
Guess what - I asked you a question or two, and like you I'd like a response.
Or do we only get to play by your rules?
Only by my rules, but I'm glad you asked for clarification...
Next time, don't lead with your chin...:)
and you still ain't Bob...
It's cool I can take it.
Too bad you don't seem to be able to.
But you are totally right I'm not bob, although I get the sense you wouldn't have answered those questions from him either, right Danger?
But hey, good news this thread is about the budget, so how about responding to the question posed earlier? Do you remember it, or do you need it read back?
Hey danger
Last night on MSNBC, Chris Hayes, who the libs worship as THEE all knowing oracle of all things left stated that the one who stands to gain most by a gov shutdown is Obama himself. This would place him in a position to ride in on his horse and save the day and be a hero. The ones who stand to lose is congress…i.e. the GOP. Given history and this factoid, it seems unusually partisan and closed minded of you to think Bob is wrong and the dems couldn’t possibly be less then agreeable as they weigh the benefits of a shutdown to them. Come on man…return to the middle and be that guy again that can see through the BS.
Oh please read it back! It must have been really important if you keep mentioning it...
I may deign to answer...or I may continue to Yankee Stadium to watch CC and the Yanks...which one do you want to put your money on?
Paul (MI) - Mirror of Truth
What are you talking about? there was a post on another thread where bob dissed "smears" and I gently chided him on his on this thread. So, what is your point? What did you READ that I WROTE that you're responding to? I'm thinking WTF? and I don't mean "win the future"...:)
Might as well leave Danger alone.
He just wants to play both sides, while taking no position.
Gosh it sure would be a lot easier to have no position. Can't imagine it's be very satisfying, but who knows.
DROF NOISUF 32 HWY MPG V-6 220 HP. Not impossible if you know how to drive.
They both know that neither side wins, so they play rhetorical "chicken" in public while working out a deal in private. The "smoke filled rooms" of yesteryear still operate, just with a lot less actual smoke...and the partisans cheer for their "side" oblivious to the political reality that drives the issue..
just an opinion, of course...
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Too bad you're too busy promoting pis&sing contests to read the whole thread...I will leave you to your liberal doppelganger, and you know who she is...
Dang danger, relax!….Spanky got you all worked up.
Maybe I got the wrong thread, but it seems you were disagreeing with the content of Bob’s post regarding dems wanting a shutdown and was surprised at you taking sides.
WTF back at ya....Just askin man, just askin.
I’ll take Spanky’s advise and leave you alone now. Enjoy the stadium.
Hey daryl - define troll. I dare you.
Personally I enjoy reading Spanky's posts! From his comments he seems to be a pretty inteligent person and he does a great job of calling out the fools that post on this vine.
I think Spanky provides a nice balance to what would otherwise be a heavily left leaning scale (filled with lop-sided opinions of dreamers)
Keep up the good work Spanky ol' buddy ol' pal!
Gotta stand up for my pal dangerfield here...
We disagree on far more than we agree on.
That said...
He's among the more honest posters at First Read...I can count them on one hand.
And what I most admire about him...particularly at THIS venue...
He's most definitely a lefty...BUT...he isn't a partisan ideologue.
Fire away folks...I'm sensing "INCOMING!".
lol
Wow-
Where did everybody go?
I think I'll take my helmet off...
Hmmm...
No rebuttal.
That's good.
Right...?
Anyone else see any similarities between this thread and that viral video about the twins?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJC0FfqRkm4
Well, except the obvious difference that the twins make a lot more sense than the Spankster.....
Mixed, I can’t disagree with you on that and have told Dangerfield as much in the recent past. Thus my surprise at him “losing it” when I asked him to clarify his stance. My occasional posts of a mere couple a month can hardly be construed as one who promotes “pi$$ing matches”. I guess I didn’t read fast enough for him and he seemed a little over sensitive today.Ahh well, we all have bad days.
 Where in the hell are all the jobs Boenher and his Republican buddies promised? All you heard was "we are going to put people back to work" before the election from these losers and now that subject is never mentioned. All the Republicans can muster up are plans that take from the poor and give to the rich, this country is doomed to third world status, greatest country on earth? Only for a handful of rich bastards at the top like Boenher
Way to break out with a totally original comment.
Have you been here before? care to guess the number of times that has been discussed?
But ok why don't you tell us how the Republicans take from the poor and give to the rich.
Was it through the tax code? And who wrote that?
Was it through the trade laws? You have heard of NAFTA, right?
Was it through legislation? Cause there is this group called democrats, and brother they have passed a law or two.
So what you got w bush? And try to be as specific as possible - we conservatives are very dense, as you know.
"Stupid is as Stupid does".
"When you come to a fork in the road....Take it "
"It ain't over 'til it's over "
"I didn't really say everything I said "
" We made too many wrong mistakes"
" It gets late early out here"
" If the world were perfect, it wouldn't be "
" I want to thank you for making this day necessary"
I love the distraction with use of shiny objects tactic.
Except what happens when the other side doesn't get distracted, eh Salt?
except for the "Forrest Gump" quote...thanks for the Yogi-isms! So appropriate on OPENING DAY!
Hey, you're not Salt Grass.
Again, still not good enough for the gander, Danger?
Not too specifig daryl.
Now how about Nafta and the tax code?
And what have the dems done about jobs moving away. or to help the economy?
You can do it, and be specific.
And gosh - but isn't Obama the Commander in chief? Does he know where Obama is?
Danger Field, when Boehner said "Nothing 'agreed to until everything is agreed to' it sounded just like a Yogi-ism. And the Forrest Gump Quote is in the style of Yogi-ism.
Nothing like the sound of the bat on the ball and the 7th inning strecth.
OK daryl... I seem to have to do this on a daily basis for someone on this vine...
SLOWLY so you can understand....
Spanky is saying that the libbies should not throw stones since little gems like NAFTA came about under their watch... and that it might be time for the libbies to quit whining and blaming the previous administration and take OWNERSHIP of the situation that they begged to be put in charge of!
READY... pay attention now...
G R O W - U P
(happy to help there daryl ol' buddy ol' pal :-)
Doggone it - I was hoping daryl, and his other brother...
would provide a definition for troll, cause see I figure it just might apply to my gal Feisty.
Daryl, care to continue?
Braves Win
NAFTA...NAFTA...NAFTA...
...the one George H.W. Bush signed on December 17, 1992...?
...the one who's negotiations started under Ronald Reagan...?
I know where you were trying to go with that one, so I will give you extra credit:
Bush, who had worked to "fast track" the signing prior to the end of his term, ran out of time and had to pass the required ratification and signing into law to incoming president Bill Clinton.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Free_Trade_Agreement
Oh, and the NAFTA that Newt Gingrich thinks worked so well...?
http://thinkprogress.org/2011/03/15/gingrich-nafta-mexico-jobs/
Oh, yes...that NAFTA...
Lets not forget Bill baby brought down the deficit. Our country wasn`t divided as it is today. I for one would not be here fighting. I would be at my job the one that paid my bills, the one that allowed me to go to the doctor and the dentist, both of which I haven`t seen in over 2 years because I can not afford it. I just shut off my T. V. last week. I have no cell Phone and I eat a lot of top ramen, but that does not seem enough for you repugnants.
Clinton passed the law mandating banks give home loans to unqualified buyers which started the housing bubble. Do your homework. Guess what...Obama sued Citibank about people being discriminated against which got your buddy Barney Frank and his group to pass these laws.
what's the difference cutting vital programs or shutting them down. denny hoyer where's that promise?
why do you keep letting the republicans, who have no public support run this government. either stand-up or stand down. we are not broke and we will never be broke. and anyone out there who thinks we are broke then you are misguided fools!
Can we change that statement to "No one gets a job until everyone gets a job"?
The tan man / weeper of the house has been "given notice" ...by the tea baggers he will be replaced ..in 2012 ! He has been deemed an ineffective leader ! Now thats something to cry about huh ... johnny boy ?
You had no less a "right winger" rooting for a shutdown than Howard Dean. That tells the whole story, folks. Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer spin the shutdown yarn every single time they get in front of a mike- and reveal the strategy while not knowing the feed is live.
It is time to get real. Cuts need to be made. Period.
Suppose for a moment there was a right leaning organization that received federal funds- not tax write- offs, but actual taxpayer dollars- for their programs. Although this organization was wildly unpopular with all but the far right, the notion that their funds could be cut was totally unthinkable, because they claimed that the bulk of those funds went to a program no one could fathom cutting- say, free immunizations for poor children.
Now, further suppose that it was revealed that no such program existed.
Think the left would scream to cut the funds? Think they demand investigations and prosecutions?
I do. I think I would be with them- especially on the fund cutting front.
So, read this
http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/planned-parenthood-challenged-on-purported-mammogram-claim/2011/03/30/AFjCFO3B_story.html
Now, I do not know about you, but I have hear "mammograms" in just about every article and post with regard to P.P. They have, and do, proclaim that to be part of the healthcare they provide.
In fact, they are abortion providers, pure and simple. Pap smears and birth control are side issues- dealt with AFTER the abortion is performed. While we are on topic, P.P. Considers abortion to BE birth control- although they are less loud about proclaiming it- preferring the innocuous "women's reproductive health services".
They are and have been in violation of the Hyde Act. Cut them off.
Then let's start the investigations.
So NJ you think the deep thinkers here at First Read will treat us to an article on Planned Parenthood and the apparent fact that they do not mammograms?
I kinda thank not.
It's a whole lot easier to root for a shutdown when you hold no office, have no constituents.
As is too often the case, Howard Dean isn't to be taken seriously...definitely not, in this instance.
Spanky-
So NJ you think the deep thinkers here at First Read will treat us to an article on Planned Parenthood and the apparent fact that they do not mammograms?
I kinda thank not.
God, I thought you knew.
Michelle Malkin's platypus mouth was spewing her "own" Culture of Lies on slant headed Hannity's show last night.
http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201103300050
Discredited right-wing activist Lila Rose is promoting yet another video hoax, falsely claiming to have caught Planned Parenthood officials lying about the organization's work providing patients with access to cancer screenings, including mammograms. But the comments Rose highlights in no way contradict the undisputed fact that Planned Parenthood provides patients with access to these services.
FACT: Some Planned Parenthood Clinics DO Provide Mammogram Screenings

FREE Mammograms and Pap Smears
Care for Yourself is a program that offers pap tests and pelvic exams, clinical breast exams, breast self-exam training and mammograms to qualified women between the ages of 40 and 64.
Services at Planned Parenthood of Southeast Iowa may be available on the same day you enroll.
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/ppsi/free-mammograms-pap-smears-17602.htm
Is it just me; It seems like Michelle Malkin always looks like something smells? And why does FOX LIE so much?
Good one Bev.
But it's kinda akin to the DOJ clearing the DOJ of wrongdoing in the Black Panther Case.
Have you signed the MoveOn petition to oust Immelt yet?
And really Southwest Iowa? but if it was on Media Matters, it must be gold, right Bev?
Spanky-
Good one Bev.
But it's kinda akin to the DOJ clearing the DOJ of wrongdoing in the Black Panther Case.
No way Spank(er), I'll say it and you can call me whatever. Hint: racist, but if the DOJ, Eric Holder, wasn't a Black man Megan Kelly's fantasies wouldn't have undies all in a twist. The righties not attributing the white militia groups and t-bagger voter intimidation is really not asking for justice for all Americans.
J. Christian Adams is a GOP hack and his testimony is all hearsay. J. Christian Adams, the former DOJ lawyer who is the right’s star witness in this case, was part of the Department Of Justice’s attempt to stack the office with politically motivated lawyers during the Bush administration. Lawyers like Adams were hired by Bradley Schlozman not based on their legal abilities, but rather their loyalty to the Republican party and advocacy for conservative causes. In his testimony, Adams cites a lot of hearsay but nothing he directly observed. In other words, office gossip at best, possibly completely fabricated stories at worst.
Report Raps Bradley Schlozman [J. Christian Adams' boss], Former Justice Department Official, for Political Bias
Former Civil Rights Division Chief Schemed to Keep 'Lefties' Out of Key Jobs
[snip]
A former Justice Department official discriminated against liberal job applicants at the department and then made false statements to Congress on the matter, according to a Justice Department report released Tuesday.
http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/DOJ/story?id=6637861&page=1
After their review of e-mails and other messages from Schlozman and interviews with his former colleagues, the investigators found that he "favored applicants with conservative political or ideological affiliations and disfavored applicants with civil rights or human rights experience whom he considered to be overly liberal."
Based on Schlozman's statements during the hearing and his written responses to lawmakers' questions, investigators concluded that he was not truthful in his testimony.

The looney 3 NBP intimidation farce is a non issue I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Have you signed the MoveOn petition to oust Immelt yet?
What about you? Have you signed?
And really Southwest Iowa? but if it was on Media Matters, it must be gold, right Bev?
Being the inquisitive guy are you don't need to believe MMFA. Here's their number...
Project Coordinator
319.653.4850
866.775.3683
While you're at it for more information, you ask for contact numbers of others how do.
You're a bright chump you can do that; can't you?
Suppose, further suppose, and I think? Come back to reality all blow no jo! You jumped right from a budget discussion to abortion. Oh, I see the stretched connection to PP. Justification for your telling a woman what to do with her body has nothing to do with the budget but since you broght it up:
Let's suppose you are a married pregnant woman in a marriage in which the man beats the wife into biblical submission to have sex at will. Let's further suppose that you finally find the courage to leave the bastard and take your small brood of his progeny and yourself to safety. Can you (talking to the real ALL BLOW now)appreciate that this poor woman is NOT in control of her own destiny. Her husband has her under his thumb and she lives in fear. Are you NO JO going to tell this woman she has to have this man's spawn even after she finds safety? You are going to pay for it you know.
This is what I just don't get. You don't want the unwanted pregnancy to be aborted but you don't want to support the resultiing single parent families do you. Is it her falut she is pregnant? That her husband is a cad? Probably a religious self-righteous cad like my sacntimonious dad.
Abortion is not a budget issue; it's a human issue, a personal one at that. AND it needn't be any concern for the male of our species. Are you a man NO? Hey, there's an idea, let's investigate that!
Really, Missy?
Abortion "needn't be any concern for the male of our species."?
Did you really say that?
Do you actually believe it?
Oh my Missy. Oh my!
Why are republican so against abortion, but could care less for the kid after he/ she is born. They are okay with unhealthy, undernourished, ignorant, homeless etc. The republicans suck.
It's all about keeping womenfolk in their place,huh??????
I don't believe that most Democrats are rooting for a shutdown...maybe some are, but most, I'm guessing, don't want to risk having any of the blame for that outcome laid at their doorstep. And, it's very uncertain at this point exactly who will be blamed most. That's the most likely reason there's finally movement in the budget negotiations.
Remember...whatever happens, the projected FY 2011 budget deficit is $1.65 trillion...43 cents of every dollar spent this year is borrowed.
The Republican proposal for spending cuts represents less than 3.7% of that $1.65 trillion deficit; the Democrats' counterproposal, just 2% of the projected deficit.
They both know that neither side wins, so they play rhetorical "chicken" in public while working out a deal in private. The "smoke filled rooms" of yesteryear still operate, just with a lot less actual smoke...and the partisans cheer for their "side" oblivious to the political reality that drives the issue..
just an opinion, of course...
That is why I always hold my nose when I vote - but you gotta vote!
I think they should go all the way I think the republicans will fold first when all is said and done.
I really don't think the Dem's are looking to go into shutdown but my main complaint is that everyone seems to be more hard pressed about the upcoming election and how they are going to worm their way back into the heart of the voters. In the meantime all the BS with the economy seems to be handled like a mere second thought,Not really important at all(over being re-elected into THEIR job that is).
And even though I really don't agree with a lot of the elected Tea Party they do appear to be the only one with a sense of urgency on our dire financial state.
The U.S. Congress is one dysfunctional and pathetic institution. They mindlessly bicker about nonsense poking sticks in one another's eyes while the people of this country do without, losing hope. I hate to tell Congress but the millions of people that currently are hopeless will in time become angry and vindictive demanding retribution, people who feel they have nothing have nothing to lose.
John Boehner is afraid to compromise because the Tea Party has him in a bind. Michele Bachmann will cut him off at the knees if he even hints of compromise. He better be careful because when she becomes President he will really be in a bind. Am I being sarcastic? You betcha.
Hey, dottielou---any answer from the Speaker to your daily emails yet?
Steeler Fan
No answer from the Speaker to my e-mails. Not surprising though because the alligators are nipping at his heels. I keep sending and he keeps ignoring. A game of cat and mouse.
The the economy and 0bummer getting us into wars - even Bachman can beat 0bozo in 2012. Only 41% say he deserves to be re-elected and 50% so he doesn't. No I am not for Bachman but 0bummer is toxic. You will have a bunch of the 23 Dem Senators up for election running from 0bummer - well those that haven't already gotten out. Gonna be a tough night for you libs on Nov 6 2012 a mere 586 days till we get to "The End of an Error"
And if the Democratic Party had a backbone, they would call the bluff by Republicans by allowing government to shut down. Then the Democratic Party can say, "We tried to negotiate in good faith, the Republican side decided to be inflexible." Obama could hold a news conference announcing the suspension of all pay for Senators and Congressmen until the budget is approved and then use presidential powers to cut off funding to all Republican backed pet projects. Then for the sake of national security suspend tax breaks for corporations, roll back tax breaks for the rich, and announce the uncapping of social security. And he could go after corporations for anti-trust violations and tax fraud. See that's all the Republicans will respond to...going after their base.
I cannot decide which one makes more of a fool out of himself each day --- Speaker Tan-man or Newt(I've had 3 wives but I too old to go out whoring around now)Gingrich. It's a toss-up I guess!!
Another inane utterance from the House Cryer! Boo freakin' hoo!
The tan man / weeper of the house has been "given notice" ...by the tea baggers he will be replaced ..in 2012 ! He has been deemed an ineffective leader ! Now thats something to cry about huh ... johnny boy ?
Dirty Harry Reid and 0bummer will also be replaced in 2012. I will trade you 1 tan man for those 2 morons any day.
If they cut spending ,just don't go after the programs that benefit the middle class. People should realize that cutting programs won't do it . It's putting a bandaid on it . All this will do is slow down the accumulatuion of debt. If you don't have money coming in while you cut spending ,the debt won't be paid off . The republicans should raise the taxes on the wealthy along with cutting spending right away. after a couple years raise everyones taxes ,it's got to happen sooner or later. They won't raise taxes on the top wealth earners though ,it would hinder them from creating all these jobs that I see popping up all over this country. So , go ahead republicans go ahead with your cuts without trying to bring more capitol in , and ,oh by the way ,don't forget to vote yourself that cost of living increase because prices are going up on everything now. 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 435 billionaire's and the 2.4 million millionairs have a total wealth of $7 trillion at the end of 2009 - down from $8 trillion in 2005. If you confiscate every dime they have you only pay off half of the National Debt. Then what are you gonna do???
Lets go back to Clinton era tax rates and budgets. That will raise the top 2% taxes by $70 billion per year and the bottom 98% taxes by $330 billion per year. Will guarantee 0bummer is a 1 termer for sure. Oh and lets go back to Clinton's last budget while we are at it - 2001 budget was passed on time and on his watch (Oct 2000) and was just under $2 trillion. I will take those tax rates and budgets. I would even take the 2005 budget of $2.5 trillion. Looks like peanuts to what this moron is spending - ($3.7 trillion)

Paid Callers for Right Wing Radio Need to be Investigated!
Right wing radio is the GOP’s most important media tool. If the GOP is using hired callers and organizing scripted callers for national and local radio talk shows to push referenda, legislation, and candidates and attack others all year around should the money used be included in filings to the Federal Election Commission (FEC)?
The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) needs to know. If it’s fraudulent advertising should the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other federal agencies investigate? Maybe the Better Business Bureau needs to know.
The main national right wing talkers are well coordinated as a unit on a daily basis. The main ones regurgitate much of the same material. They’re getting paid millions to sell national GOP and US Chamber of Commerce talking points.
http://www.squattable.com/news/030911/paid-callers-right-wing-radio-need-be-investigated
Since you just got here; I'm just wondering is this true of you black_belt3 to push your vile right wing rhetoric?
Hmmm...
Why was Air America such a failure, Bev?
In the free market...
Not too many people want to listen to Air America.
You couldn't pay them to.
Sad...but true, Bev.
No we can not pay for Air America, I donated a few times when I could afford it. Fox gets paid very well though to spread the lies and their commentators are very wealthy indeed look at Rush, Beck, and Mr. "No spin" They have very wealthy supporters. Of course they had to stop funding real news they tell the truth about things. We at least have the comedians on our side. I love it when they go after the repugnants.
The "Gross Odd People' (GOP), and the "Really Not Competent" (RNC) are up their policy of "Politcal Puke." Now the smell of rotten tea bags fill the political air. "Bonehead Boehner," and "Crazy Cantor" are leading thier for the rich only club in the House of Representatives. Old "Bonehead Boehner" looks like a dried up orange peel with no new ideas. They have no problem taxing to death the Middle Class, and then ripping them offf of any rights as workers. The "Tea Beggers" are now proving that "Super Spewing" as one group will help them politically. "Nutty Newt" and "Bitchy Bachmann" are like vultures flying around Capital Hill looking to economically pick the Middle Class to the bone. The "Nazi News Network" (Fox News) is hanging on the every word of "Darth Rove." AKA. Karl Rove. The master of "Madness and Misinformation" that "spewers" like "Lunatic Limbaugh" just love to call "God." Remember America to say the following as you go to the polls to vote. Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! The Party of No has got to go!!"
Looked up troll in my Miriam Websters and there it was troll:N. :Any idiot that would call itself SPANKY)
How to grow jobs, the economy, remain competitive, and eliminate the deficit:
1. Legislatively remove the anti-trust exemption for insurance, The McCarran-Ferguson Act.
2.. Legislatively restrict the wetlands definition of "navigable waters of the United States" in the Clean Water Act.
3. Fund and begin construction of power generation and water supply projects necessary to meet future population and industrial demands.
4. Remove all geographic restrictions on oil and natural gas drilling, and use the power of federal money transfers to the States to prevent States and local governments from interfering with drilling.
5.. Remove environmental restrictions and environmental and social impact requirements for all infrastructure and utility construction for the next 10 years.
6.Cut Federal budget by 10% excluding defense, starting with those duplicative items identified in the 3/1/11 GAO report and Presidents Debt Commission, however, maintain current spending for infrastructure construction, repair and upgrade for the next 5 years. Repeal the Davis-Bacon Act.
7. Reduce corporate tax rates by 50%. Reduce Corporate tax rates by 70% on private utilities and transport companies.
8. Reinstitute significant tax and assistance payments for residential and commercial alternative energy instillations, particularly focusing on residential solar. Use Commerce Clause to force all electrical utilities to be reverse metering.
9. Subsidies the further development of electric and hybrid electric cars. Provide significant tax breaks and incentives for the purchase of same, particularly when combined with the purchase of a residential solar instillation within two years of one another. This is no longer a simple market issue, but one of national security as the time to substitution is longer than the economy can withstand when confronted with a supply side shock
10. Eliminate the Ethanol subsidy for any and all processes using foodstuffs. Redirect monies to nuclear and coal. Streamline regulation of new construction of nuclear power plants and provide incentives for same. Open Yucca Mountain as originally agreed.
11. Eliminate any power of the EPA to regulate Carbon.
12. Use the power of the Federal purse to eviscerate Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005) and Tahoe-Sierra Preservation Council, Inc. v. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, 535 U.S. 302 (2002),
13. Repeal the Community Reinvestment Act.
14. Hold congressional investigations into the roll of the Community Reinvestment Act, Freddie and Fannie in inflating demand and thus prices resulting in the collapse of the real estate market.
15. Build a wall embedded with sensors and toped with razor wire along both our borders, beginning with the southern one. In the name of national security remove all environmental restrictions and environmental and social impact requirements for the construction of same.
16 Pass legislation that all jurisdictions receiving federal monies of any sort are required to enforce all of the laws of the land, including enforcement of federal immigration laws.
17. Restrict the collective bargaining power of State civil service unions in line with the 1978 Federal Civil Service Reform Act
18. Scrap the tax code and adopt a flat-tax that will build the size of the pie (and thus tax revenues) for everyone instead of the Obama class warfare of trying to redistribute a shrinking one.
19. Revisit New York Times v. Sullivan and remove the "actual malice" requirement to improve the quality, objectivity and accuracy of media reporting,

All toungue and cheek aside though i really can't imagine you would want to live in an America run the way you suggest.
Would you really want a munitions plant dumping chemicles into your local cities well water, the local dry cleaner dumping to the sewer, or the electronics manufacturing plant dumping heavy metals into the river? How about removing lead requirements in paint, or asbestos working conditions.
I honestly don't believe you have ANY idea what your manifesto actually means.
