She has got a real bad case of Palin-itis. Has to bring her up in every article.

Try to just let it pass Feisty.

Spanky-

Aww, poor Feisty.

You see what I mean Spanker? Every time you provide your Font of Information on everything, I become more certain that you seem to think you're corresponding with dimwits like yourself.

You have the nerve to think I'm miseducated. Spend a little time reading the topic to see if you can comprehend. Palin is in it.

Bible Spice - ha!

Can anyone make sense of Beverly's comment, or have you all given up trying to decipher what she's saying? I guess that would be the smartest course of action.

Joe in Albany

You're a sad race baiting poptard. And you have no self -esteem; it's too obvious.

Yes, let's all unite around the Palin/Bachmann ticket...........

Sadly I gave up a long time ago. And I love Bev.

"Purity is the enemy of victory."

I think that, while this does seem to be true in the great big shark pool of life, it would make a very bad closing argument to a jury, and probably in a presidential debate, as well.

Ease up on Steve, there, Bev- he thinks he's Spanky, not Joe. Y' can't tell the difference?

Beverly in Chicago

Pointing out that a Black Woman like you is RACIST is not Racism or Race Baiting. it is pointing out PURE FACT. I understand that you think you can Silence people with your SCREAMS of Racism and Race Baiting because its all you have.

Racism needs to be Pointed out and as long as yo9u are here I will continue to point you out for what you are. A Black RACIST woman.

Spanky-

Sadly I gave up a long time ago. And I love Bev.

Ditto Spank(er) it's like a once in a life time experience every time you say that; or more precisely like a blue moon. It's okay though as long can you stay within your orbit.

Steve-505729

Beverly in Chicago

How many times do i have to point out to you that A RACIST black Woman like yourself should stop Talking about Sarah Palin..

Steve it hard to stop talking about trash, it only natural!!!!

I don't think she is Bible Spice anymore. She has not mentioned God or Church since the money started rolling in.

SteveO I'll say this once -- Kiss my black a@@!!!!

I do realize that current law limits sexual harrassment cases to those circumstances. But, if Steve finds the right lefty liberal activist judge he could get some case law on the books to expand those protections to all of society. That would be a good thing, wouldn't it?

We may be like one. but you are one

Barbour is right but teapublicants are neck deep in self destruction. a party where candidates run from their good records only to embrace the ideological right. a party where the truth can never be spoken e.g newt real talk about ryan's budget. a party that does not self examine itself. it's hard to see the old GOP back before this 2012 election. what the present crop have embraced is STUPIDITY.

Judge Joe:

That would be a good thing, wouldn't it?

LoL You're asking ME this question? No.

Next thing I knew, you'd be suing me. ;-)

Yes. Beverly in Chicago spanked Spankey (but he liked it, and she was right).

End of story.

Feisty and Bev,

I see Illinois is issuing same sex unions. You two may go off and marry. Fiesty take plenty of lip balm on the honeymoon, Bev likes for her ass to be kissed ALOT.

“We cannot expect our candidate to be [qualified],” Barbour told conservative activists Friday at the 2011 Faith and Freedom Conference in Washington D.C. “Winning is about unity.”

For a split second I thought I saw a glimmer of sanity from the Republican establishment. But wait, if conservatives vote based on the issues, then wouldn't they vote for the best candidate regardless of Party? So then winning based on unity is completely contrary to this, right? The GOP/TP Borg will vote for any Republican/Teabagger regardless of qualifications. Fudd/LePew - 2012!

Well, well, well, here it goes! The first public smack down on Sarah Barracuda! The "big boys" don't like it when one of their own, breaks the TP/Repub golden rule, "thou shalt not speak ill of one of our own", but then Sarah B. won't play by their silly rules, will she? Feisty, I'm with you girl, get out the popcorn, the party is just getting started, and it's gonna be deva licious! I'm bettin' Sarah won't quit, her ego is way to big!

Since you want to join the chrous of racist/ race baiting poptards you too can kiss my black a@@' liar.


I said nothing racist so therefore I did not apologize; I apologized for what you thought was a slur against gays; cockS**ker.


You popards are not happy unless you can inject racism where there is none. Go to h%ll the whole lots of you b!tches.

You don't have respect.

You don't have respect for yourselves either; and you don't know what's happening. None of you can find your way out of paper bag. I bet whoever your bosses are they dog you out; because that's what all of you are and deserve.

Get serious Steve and the other poptards are stalking me or are you that blind???

I said what I needed to say to that grimy immature lot and will ignore their racist remarks in the future; end of story.

Beverly you are obviously quite the hypocrite. Any intelligent person knows you don't use the hate speech you post on here daily. In the real world you would be fired in a heartbeat for using those words. I didn't say "racist" I said hate speech. You are convicted by your own lack of character evidenced by your own words.

Don't dump on redhead to hard. She's never been known for her words of wisdom. Heck, she probably doesn't even know that she follows the Alinsky model or even know who Alinsky is. She thinks the economy is the best it's ever been and besides, if the candidate has an "R" next to their name, they can't be good. Don't ask her why, because she doesn't know. Ever notice how not one single lib can tell you anything about economics. At least not truthfully. Just a fact of life, so deal with it.

@Swampfox6actual: Appreciate your comment, but if you were on over the memorial day weekend you would have noticed the # of times STEVE called BEV IN CHICAGO Racist he even asked her not to comment on his postings yet I noticed him starting this situation tonight, Just an observation...I just started reading so I do not know how long this has been going on.

I just started reading so I do not know how long this has been going on.

Welcome to what we fondly call the 'mud pit'!

As for little stevie - he's back at it forever, it's why he's known as the Master-Baiter around these parts!

Seriously, the more you read of him, the more you'll understand the little dude has some SERIOUS mental issues! ;o)

Cardog - Conservatives live in an bubble, echo chamber, cone of silence. FOX/Hate Radio will bury the video of Sarah Palin saying Paul Revere warned the British (ooops). So they don't know she is dumb as dirt.

Nor do they know that Michele Bachmann has falsely claimed that Planned Parenthood is a criminal enterprise involved in the "trafficking of underage girls." And if conservatives do know about these things, most believe it as a truth.

The reality is, Palin, Bachmann, Santorum, etc. are only against Sharia Law if Muslims do it, but they are all for Sharia Law as long as it is Christians doing it.

It's no fun pointing out the flaws and flip flops with Republican candidates, they're much better than any liberal could hope to be. Time to sit back and enjoy the political comedy central also know as the Republican primary

As of June 1, 2001 according to Rasmussen it's about 35% Republican, 35% Democrat and 30% Independent. Hard to believe that only 30% of Americans aren't sheep. My point is that of the 35% Republican, maybe 20% are the hardcore extremist that will select the Republican Candidate. Using my warped logic, what are the odds the remaining 80% will vote for someone that panders to the extreme right?

oops, I meant as of June 1, 2011

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/partisan_trends

marc huff,

I agree. Our Teapublican governor just vetoed a bill that had been passed unanimously in our Republican controlled state legislature. Now they have to waste time over-riding his veteo with a 2/3 vote, all because he wanted to make an ideological point.

The bill he vetoed would make it possible for healthcare providers to charge lower rates to smaller insurance companies, without lowering rates for bigger companies, thus increasing competition. Blue Cross currently has almost a monopoly in Maine and they fought this bill. The governor vetoed it on the grounds that the government shouldn't interfere with contracts between private business.

There is a war going on in the Republican Party between the ideolgues and the moderates, and the people suffering aren't Democrats, it's the folks who thought voting Republican was a "sensible" thing to do.

daryl is right and that's when it started to move ever closer to being like marc huff says more of a cult than a party. They praise Reagen like a saint, they don't mention things like the Iran/Contra bussiness, the Chrysler bail ect. Reagan was mediocre on his best day, acting or governing, and as far as the republican field is concerned, at this point they would be thrilled if they had a mediocre candidate.

i still wonder who makes the message who's pulling the strings

you and me both! I think the Heritage Foundation is behind much of the implementation of the right-wing agenda.

Their fingers were all over the 39 proposals to repeal regulations and environmental protections our governor proposed. It's pretty clear LePage is not bright enough to come up with this stuff himself and it looks exactly ike laws being proposed in other states.

Amy and Marc -

Barbour put it clearly...Ralph Reed along with Grover Norquist and the Christian Coalition; more or less "A blast from the past."

Hey, boys and girls, don't you remeber, back in Dec. before all the inaugarations in Jan., all the Repub. govs. had a meeting in DC with the big boys, to tell them what the plan was to, break the unions, trash all teachers and kill public education, end free health clinics for the poor, cut unemployment and so on and so on. They went home with their attack plans all set up by Rove and the gang. They rushed so much legislation through in the first 3 mos., it will take years for it all to be sorted out by the courts. I left out one of their biggest targets, women's health and taking away women's rights, my bad! The people, that's you and me, are just now really waking up the their grand scheme to finish off America, with their corp. lords.

Michelle,

While I agree with your statement, I don't understand how they think that these policies are going to be sustainable in today's global economy? Where are they going to go once the United States is destroyed? And how can anyone possibly support this madness?

roseone, boy I wish I had the answers, I wish anybody had the answers. I think they want us working below minimum wage again.

Michelle-1073610: You do have the answer and it was stated in your post..I don't think they are clear in their thinking about destroying the middle class, who are the people they expect will be the consumer of their products? I don't know if they are considering something Global/worldwide, maybe if they made us all indentured servants we will have the serve the wealthy everywhere..whatever is happening needs to be taken seriously.

cm 2200611, they need to be taken very seriously, and my hope is that Wis., Ohio, and Florida will rise up and fight them on every level. I live in Fl., and two special elections for mayors of Tampa, and Jacksonville, which were held by Repubs, were taken back by Democrats, slowly some people are waking up, I just hope they wake up before its too late. The Fl. ACLU has filed 26 lawsuits, challenging many of their new laws, based on Constitutional flaws, while I've not always been a big fan of the ACLU, this thime they are right on the money, and I pray they win some victories to restore sanity. Florida hasn't gotten much national attention, but Gov. Scott here, makes Wis. Gov. Walker look like a school boy.

GW Bush said "they hate us for our freedom" no they hate us because they watch their child walk out of a Nike plant barefoot, they hate us because we use their children as slave labor. They won't be satisfied until they use our children in the same way. Welcome to their global economy, where you are expected to compete with the Chinese assembling I-Phones for $200 a month wages for a 60 hour work week.

Fortunately, there are a LOT more people who ARE hearing the alarm clocks going off. How many ppl have posted I WAS a republican, but the ldeals have moved away from anything I represent? The extremist viewpoints and the Tea Party "my way or no way" mentality is pretty well ensuring that regardless what Uncy Haley says- unity is not happening anytime soon.

There are a lot of middle class working people who vote republican on single issues, like God, guns, and gays type issues. Many were told the democrats will take your guns away, now they are finding out that the only one that is going to get their guns is the pawn shop, so they can buy gas, groceries and medicine.

When republican governors restrict collective bargaining rights and simultaneously cuts taxes on buiness then the government is subsidizing the private sector

The same people who complain about unions, don't like the cost of medicare, or medicaid, or the thought of universal health care or the fact that people depend on SS when they retire. But they don't support unions. The good American companies and owners that bargain in good faith with their employee's pay decant wages and provide health benefits and real pension plans. The people that spent their careers working under decent collective bargaining agreements are not the ones sucking up social services. Why should everybody that has health insurance subsidize Wal-Mart type Non-Union employees, who don't have health benefits, and aren't paid enough to provide themselves with any. Not to mention a phony matching 401K for a retirement plan, they don't have anything to put in so they never have to match anything. The company deserves to make a good profit, but labor should get a fair slice of the pie they produce, I am not against profits I am all for profits, and I want an equitable share. Don't kid yourself the truth is when you support union busting, and the right to work for less and less and less laws, give huge tax breaks to extremely profitable companies paid for by labor (GE paid no taxes but everybody that works there does), then the government winds up subsidizing the private sector. Because these are the people who have nothing the minute they stop working, and immediately need social services. This has been going on since Reagen and except for a brief respite during the Clinton administration middle class purchasing power has been in decline. I'm no economist but what the hell else can possibly happen when you support the company paying less of its profits to its employees and simultaneously less of its profits to the government in form of taxes. For those of you waiting for this trickle down theory (fantasy) to kick in and make you better off, give it up, it is impossible, you tell me how business keeping all the profits and the workers paying all the bills makes you better off. I tell you what lets go on a treasure hunt, and when we find treasure I am going to keep all of it, and you are going to pay the all the expenses. How many times do we have to do that to make you rich.

Stevie Boy, you need to be collapsed. I've seen enough of your crap on here. You and Spanks. Sadly you have no thoughts regarding policy, just insulting other posters. If I knew what you did to collapse someone, I sure would collapse you!

If I knew what you did to collapse someone,

@Cathy - Click on the ! in the bottom right hand corner of your comment & you will get a drop down menu to chose from!

Feisty, everytime I read your comments it really gives me a tickle!

You go girl!

You go girl!

Thanks AG! I've been following you for awhile now and noticed you pack quite a 'kick' yourself! ;o)

Keep up the great work!

yes. Please by all means . Collaspe me. the Fact is the only time Liberals wish to talk about Racism is when its a White person making RACIST comments towards a Black Person. but they will DEFEnd Black Racist like Beverly in Chicago at every Turn.

Thanks Feisty. I never knew what that ! was for, guess I should have tried it, but I'm not techie, that's for sure and I'm always afraid I will screw something up.

Steve: Talking about racism is one thing. Every comment you are making about a person is nothing more than calling names. I'm a 67 year old (old) white woman, and believe me, I've lived a long time and seen a lot of things and I know racism when I see it, and you are the embodiment of it.

Thanks Feisty.

Anytime Cathy - have a good weekend!

Somebody told me that deep inside of Haley there was a skinny man that wants to emerge. and I said "just one?"

Actually, he emerged as Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich, and Rush Limbaugh.

Spanky is obviously jealous of your quick wit and delightful sense of humor.

Thank you for the kind words! ;o)

Skanky WHO? lol

I put that ambulance chasing, attention seeking, troll on ignore months ago - he's not 'worthy' of my time or attention!

Good going, Fiesty!

I did the same thing to Steve recently because I got tired of his immature name-calling rants. His posts are collapsed more often than not anyway. Intelligent, mature grownups can make a point without stooping to name calling.

They all refer to the Handbook for Contrarian A-holes, also known as the Republican "Party of Hell NO" Playbook.

If all goes as planned ;-) the Tea Party will be the end of the GOP in 2012, but the TP won't die. The intellectual conservatives will need to form a new party, the Conservative Party? and distance themselves from the fringe.

Jake, I hope and pray you are right!

TO: RecoveringRepublican:

Republicans lost all credibility when they framed themselves as "conservatives" and then borrowed and spent over a Trillion Dollars.

Republicans lost the Independents' vote when they lied us into war with Iraq.

Oh I don't disagree with you there, American Girl. The GOP of the past 30 years has been an embarrassment. The fact that so many self professed conservatives, or "patriots" as they like to refer themselves, don't understand that makes it even more embarrassing. That last truly great republican was Eisenhower. Nixon was a paranoid. Reagan was a corporate puppet. The fact that he has been canonized through historical revisionism is dumbfounding. H.W. was a non entity. And G.W. was an 8 year long Jerry Springer episode. Lincoln and TR must be spinning in their graves over what the GOP has become.

You said a mouthful, conservatism was once actually about things like conservation, Roosevelt gave us Yellowstone Park, by declaring it a national treasure for all Americans. Today the republican party would drill it for oil, strip mine it for coal, bring in the logging crews, quarry out the rock, leaving nothing but a big hole in the ground. Then they would proudly want credit for building a pond.

Jake Reyna -- Moderate "establishment" Republicans say they have not left the GOP, rather the GOP left them -- Very insightful to see that a solution may be in reverse. Since the Teabaggers won't create their own Party or even run their own candidates as Independents (and the same goes for the Moral Majority who hijacked the GOP before that), the only way the Republican Party can save itself is to create their own Party...again. How sad is that?

TruePatriot- not only that but I have to chuckle every time someone brings up the "We're taking our country back". comment. Take it back from WHERE?!? It never LEFT! The implication being that we're going to take it back from the democratically ELECTED POTUS. Why? b/c all that they had to run on was lies and rhetoric. A laser like focus on jobs, jobs, jobs.. still waiting on that joke to be fulfilled, but in the meantime lets ram through every social issue we can think of.

I honestly believe it's still just thinly veiled racism. (pretty pathetic.)

I honestly believe it's still just thinly veiled racism. (pretty pathetic.)

I'll go one further - I believe it's not even 'thinly veiled'!

They use code words such as, the Messiah & Hussein like a racist dog whistle!

They want to take their country back alright, all the way to when ONLY pale - stale - males ruled the roost!

Me? I prefer to take MY country FORWARD!

Don't you dare play the race card. Only Republicans can do that while protesting. If you ever ask why they say some of the things they do, you will see them doing the Saint Vitus dance.

It's not thinly veiled, they are so racist, they don't even realize that they are projecting, since for them that's normal.

Don't you just love it?

Louisiana passed a law so that you can bring your gun into a church.

Now heard in "Pastor Harry's" church in Louisiana:

Do you take Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour? well, do ya punk?

What is wrong with people who are welfare having drug tests? Everyone in the military is subject to random drug testing, truck drivers are subject to randon drug testing as are most other people who have jobs. Why should welfare recipients be any different?

Why should welfare recipients be any different

For starters, it's unconstitutional & then there's the fact Rick Scotts wife is CEO of the company doing the testing!

Random drug testing is what is known as a “suspicion-less” search. Even without probable cause to believe the person required to pee in a cup has done anything wrong, he or she is forced to turn over bodily fluids for government inspection.

The Supreme Court has upheld the ability of government to mandate random drug tests in a few limited circumstances. The earliest cases held that people with sensitive government jobs in high-risk public safety environments, like railroad operators, or involving national security, like border and customs agents, could be required to submit to testing. The Court’s most expansive ruling allowed public high schools to randomly test student athletes, even though the public safety concerns weren’t nearly as apparent.

High school students, however, have historically enjoyed fewer constitutional protections than mature adults, and courts have generally frowned upon random drug testing of them. Indeed, courts have stuck down policies just like the ones put in place by Florida this week. (See, for example, here and here.)

"What is wrong with people who are welfare having drug tests?..."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Who is going to pay for all that? Those folks are getting, what, $300 bucks a month -- it would cost more than that to drug test them all, and then what do you do, test them every month?

It just makes me sick when Republicans, who claim they want to stop the spending, ALWAYS seem to find ways to keep on spending and WASTING millions and millions of dollars!

Geesch!

Who is going to pay for all that?

The scheme goes like this - the APPLICANT will pay for the drug test, if they pass they'll be refunded the money.

If they don't then they get NO refund & NO welfare....

Here's some interesting info on the KY plan:

The true cost of Kentucky’s drug testing everyone on welfare

Warning if you hate math just skip to the end of the article

The central questions is just how many people have to fail the drug test subtracting the cost of the test, the cost of administering the test, prosecuting and jailing the people who fail the test before the state makes any money?

To aid us in determining these costs lets look at the the State of Michigan which actually tried this.

.In the five weeks that the program was in effect, the drug tests were positive in only eight percent of the cases, a percentage that is consistent with drug use in the general population. Of 268 people tested, only 21 tested positive for drugs and all but three were for marijuana.

http://www.talkleft.com/story/2003/04/10/879/80591

Lets assume Pot users don’t lose their benefits that means 3 out of every 268 people will lose their welfare benefits. Pee tests for

MarijuanaMethamphetamine Methadone
CocaineEcstasyOxycodone
OpiatesBenzodiazepinesPCP Amphetamine Barbiturates

http://www.drugtestsuccess.com/

Cost $2.50 each if you buy them in bulk, $2.50 a test 11 tests =$27.50

If we a assume 5 minutes a test a Registered Nurse (RN) in Kentucky gets $22.83 an hour 11 tests 55 minutes lets say an hour total to test one person just to keep the math simple.

http://www.payscale.com/research/US/State=Kentucky/Hourly_Rate

$22.83+ 27.50 = 50.33 worth of extra cost to Kentucky’s welfare program for every person tested.

Assuming potheads keep their benefits testing 268 people at $50.33 each costs the state $13,488.44 every 268 people just to get the 3 people using drugs assuming that Kentucky is as drug filled as Michigan.

Just to be fair to Kentucky’s financial planning but not their moral compass. I will assume that they won’t make an honest attempt to help the drug addicts who fail this program. Since I have heard no mention of Kentucky planning to enroll everyone who fails a drug test in intense rehab ( By intense I mean a week to get clean either locked up or daily drug tests and follow up drug counseling once a week for 6 months.) So I will leave out the costs of drug rehab.
What I won’t leave out is the cost of Kentucky prosecuting all those welfare people who fail the test and are either arrested on the spot or arrested after they turn to crime because in this economy they won’t find jobs. After all even if they quit drugs right after failing the test they still need to eat and now they just lost their welfare benefits Kentucky cannot just expect them to just lay down and die. People need food they need money they will try and get it one way or another.

The annual cost of prison is a shocking $19,000 per prisoner and growing.

http://www.kentucky.com/2010/08/11/1385164/three-pronged-attack-on-prison.html

58,124 people on Welfare in Kentucky in 2008

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/01/25/us/20090126-welfare-table.html

So then testing 268 people at $50.33 each costs the state $13,488.44 just to get 3 people and there is 58,124 people on welfare in Kentucky it will cost $19,000 per prisoner to jail the 216 people who we can expect to fail the test.

58,124/268= 216 people

Next take 58,124 * the $50.33 cost of the test and you get $2,925,380

Then take 58,124/268 and you get 216 people who will fail the drug test

At $19,000 * the cost of jailing 216 people for a year = $4,104,000

Add $4,104,000 add $2,925,380 and you get $7,029,380 as the total cost to Kentucky assuming they test everyone.

Next add $7,029,380/216 = $32, 543. 42

$7,029,380 cost to take 216 people off Kentucky’s welfare rolls thats $32, 543. 42 so for this program to make Kentucky money they would need those 216 people we expect to fail the drug test to make at least a dollar more than that in welfare benefits or $32, 544. 42 a year as individuals since their kids or other dependents would of course still get welfare.

Now just imagine the costs if I had factored in pot users!

http://my.firedoglake.com/thingscomeundone/2011/01/18/the-true-cost-of-kentuckys-drug-testing-everyone-on-welfare/

Typical liberals justifying people sitting on their butts all day getting high (which is illegal by the way) and they seem to think that taking their money away from them is a bad thing. Why on earth should anyone be allowed to do drugs (including pot) and continue to get a check from their state? Welfare recipients should be out picking up trash along side the road or some other community service for a minimum of 40 hours a week to continue to draw a check. They can work, they just will not. They are the people that won't help themselves, yet the rest of us have to help them.

Typical liberals justifying people sitting on their butts all day getting high

Before you respond next time janet - you might want to take the time to read the comment!

Otherwise you look, well, willfully ignorant! ;o)

PS: Glad to know your fine with the Governor & his wife making a PROFIT off this scheme!

Yup - who don't love some good old capitalism! LMAO!

This is ridiculous. Janet, have you ever in your pathetic life ever met a gross generalization you couldn't wrap your pea brain around? That's ll we seem to get from you people. According to you, every welfare recipient is a drugged out lazy welfare queen. You offer no proof or statistics but at least you don't let that stop you from spewing this crap. You obviously have zero shame.

Forget it Fiesty. This woman is ignorant beyond belief. What's really scary is there is a whole party of this caliber of person we have to deal with. It's obvious how they refuse to embrace education.

Now you see why Republicans wants to cut all education programs, including teachers? It hasn't help their base.

Fletch: Speaking about Lazy, not trying to get educated in any capacity is what I would call lazy, not people having economic hardships, but these Repugs/Tea-Pods cannot grasp the concept.

Well I give it one try: Okay Janet if you are for the drug testing, I have a few questions.

What do you do if they test positive? If they don't get the money what about their spouse and children?

If you take the kids away where do they go? Who cares for them? Who pays for that?

I got more questions but try these first.

There's just something about the phrasing about looking for "purity' and "unity" in the Republican party that sounds so familiarly bad when it comes from Haley Barbour. Can't put my finger on it.

Could it be Aryan Supremacy?

teabagged

I never thought of that. Thanks for decoding it for me.

Just imagine that Bubba "goosesteping" and you can't help but laugh.

lmao

I don't like spam.

This "debt crisis" is just another shiny bauble. Creating jobs would help solve the debt crisis. Regulating the banks and corporations, making them pay their "fair" share (LOL) and straightening out the loopholes in the tax codes would help solve the crisis. Rolling back the Bush tax cuts would help solve the debt crisis. Many things would, but the Republican plan to do nothing but eat up the government revenue will not. Not everything should be privatized. Jails, hospitals, insurance, medicare, social security should not be privatized. Privatizing ANYTHING simply drives up the cost of the service, because all things privatize are only about the bottom line. It is incredible that T-Pers do not get this. In order for us to get a handle on health care costs, we need to make health care competitive by allowing people to buy into public health care options that are cheaper and that do not cost as much to run. The Republicans want to bankrupt the government. They do not have a clue what it would mean to not raise the debt ceiling, something they voted for more than 10 times when Bush was in office. Why all of a sudden is the debt ceiling such a problem. Jobs should be the problem, creating jobs and creating stimulus for the economy should be the solutions, not bankrupting and ruining our credit and economy. I consider that to be truly anti-American!

CATHY M.-647265.. Great Post..

Cathy- very well put. Problem is when it comes to the TP- logic need not apply.. lol

@Cardog-#23.1: Your post is not only adsurd. It is also absurd.

Actually I am an independent who voted for Obama, my comments refer only to the electability of the present crop of GOP hopefuls, I see nothing within the GOP platform that I particularly favor, much of their recommendations are non-sense based on recent economic history where lower taxes and deregulation did not lead to greater job growth, or economic prosperity, execept for the upper 1% of income earners.
