And to think- all they got is "YOUR guy SUCKS", and I bet none will offer what THEY will do, and HOW it will work. Any bets?

Hey Spanky and JAS1- suppose they will talk about JOBS- or aren't jobs as important as they were back in November last, when all the big-talk was being tossed around??

(ans say- it's great to be back- sorry I had to go silent on you on the other thread. Had to go fraudulently bill a client so I could spend more time on here with y'all, posting opinions )

Actually, this could be a great drinking game event. Throw back a shot every time someone says "tax cuts." Throw one back for "Obamacare." Well...you get the idea.

Allow me to quote the brilliant and talented Feisty:

"You've lost the argument when you can't comment on the substance and instead resort to her looks. LMAO."

#1.17 Sun June 12, 2011 11:30 EDT.

Now Feisty can you not remember what you said just yesterday?

And Drive By - you of course mean fraudulently bill one of your boss' clients, right big guy. You don't actually have any clients, cause you work for some one else.

Poor Drive By, still fighting the MAN. But hey, glad to have you back big guy. Quick say something funny.

Drive by,

Way way too early to talk specifics. Just generalities for now. The specifics and the TV ads will all come at the appropriate times. Kind of like poker, you don't show your hand too soon.

Spanky, you missed out again. Doesn't a poster need to have substance to have credibility in the first place. But Fiesty missed one; Obama = Clueless

HELPPPPPPP ... who's broadcasting this debate?

Hi everyone! Off topic, but FYI, the House just granted 2 wk leave to Congressman Wiener.

Anna Molly, CNN is broadcasting it.

Well isn't that special - Weiner gets to continue to collect his $174,000 salary while away being rehabilitated.

In for the cash. And that's all it is. Cape and tights, eh? Apparently, not so much caper and "super-hero @!$%#" as just "getting Mine."

Yep, you libbies should be just O so proud.

Thank you, Savvy.

Spanky:

In for the cash. And that's all it is. Cape and tights, eh? Apparently, not so much caper and "super-hero @!$%#" as just "getting Mine." Yep, you libbies should be just O so proud.

Oh, Spanky. Will you lay off, for pity's sake? Actually, I believe the quote was something more like: "I came on strong. Large. Cape and tights." What about that could possibly be misinterpreted?

Sheesh.

You're Welcome! Better hurry though, the inmates have already been let out of their looney bin and will be off and running at 8 PM.

Good grief. Isn't that the truth? LoL

Wake Me...,

I'll take any one of them over the current destroyer of our country and our freedoms!

Hey Spanky....when you get rid of Vitter, Ensign, Craig and the rest of the lying cheating Republicans who currently reside in Congress then let talk, otherwise, get bent!

Not sure why this was collasped other than the right wing numb nuts CAN'T handle the TRUTH! lol

The Seven Dwarfs & the dimwit are hooking up tonight for a stand-up comedy routine that’s being passed off as a ‘debate’!

Santorum = Creepy

Bachmann = Ditzy

Cain = Cheesy

Romney = Phony

Pawlenty = Frumpy

Gingrich = Sleazy

Paul = Dopey

Hunstman = Drowsy

Remember, there’s a two drink minimum and make SURE to tipyour waitress! lol

Do we really want to talk about lying and cheating? If we do how about Edwards. I know democrats do not stand for personal responsibility and morals. That's why they can shrug off lying and cheating. However cheating on a dying wife with cancer takes it a little too far. Hey Clinton set the stage and the dogs just followed.

I wonder if the 8th dwarf - Pushy will barge in. I would laugh till I cried if Bachmann's voice was suddenly drowned out by the blaring air horns on Palin's "Rolling Blunder Tour" bus.

You must mean Newt who cheated on his sick wife with his now 4th or 7th wife, or Vitter who still resides in congress with his diaper and prostitute scandal or John Ensign who was hiking while porking his mistress or Larry Craig who tried to pick up an undercover cop in a men's room. Family values folks huh! Both sides do a pretty good job of lewd behavior.

Forrest...I would have at least had a fantastic laugh. That would have been fantastic to see. Hey...have no fear mama grizzly is here. Move over Bachmann you fake, the real president is here. You betcha!

As an American it has to make you proud that people on both sides of the aisle can accurately refer to the US Congress as the SWAMP that needs draining.

LoL Forrest. But according to Rush Limbaugh, the real problem is liberal women.

Fiesty,

Spanky is right..when you can stop calling people names, then someone might actually take you seriously...until then everyone thinks you are a joke...

t.marino,

You could go back further and include Barney Frank and lest I say Bill Clinton, but that would tarnish your image of a perfect Democrat...

Before the debate took place, I predicted it would consist of attacks against President Obama rather than debating a Republican platform and their positions and solutions. To that point:

Bachmann…got a huge round of applause when she flatly predicted that Obama would be a one-term president.

Abortion is about the only thing in the GOP/TP platform they seemed to compete on. Except this:

On trade accords with other nations, Pawlenty said “I’m for fair and open trade, but I’m not for being stupid and I’m not for being a chump.”

He offered a blistering critique of what he called “crony capitalism,” the alliance of the federal government and favored industries or companies.

Crony capitalism cannot be ended until there is campaign finance reform. Did John King ask Pawlenty a follow-up question on this? No. And last but not least:

Romney vowed to undo Obama’s health care overhaul and to allow the states to experiment with their own reforms. “Ours was a state plan, a state solution and if people don’t like it in our state, they can change it…. States are right place for this type of responsibility,” he said.

Now this is hogwash. A problem with the current health care system is the lack of competition among insurance companies, in large part because competition is only within a state rather than nationwide.

Gingrich fails by endorsing Ryan’s Medicare plan and still trying to distance himself. As for Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin, puleeze -- Gary Johnson is more interesting.

Carry on mosquitoes, carry on…

True Patriot: It is most certainly not hogwash. I believe both Ron Paul and Mitt Romney would agree. Health care reform should be handled at the state level. Your assumption that there is no competition is just silly. Especially when you consider that states have every right to create insurance trades between them.

Most importantly though, running health care at the federal level is totally and completely unconstitutional. As a True Patriot, you should know that.

Amen.

Yet you are over here posting on a blog from the webpage of a network that nobody watches or cares about. Why is that Ray?

Ummm .... It was on CNN.

He's interrupting because they aren't answering the question asked and are exceeding their alloted time to answer.

Herman Cain the black racist. Sounds like a joke but its true. He is the scariest of them all.

O.k. where is your proof? Don't spit out something you can't back up show the proof.

He is on record talking about how he would never hire a Muslim as they all are extremists & terrorists. I think that speaks volumes.

Will I'm sure NBC would be glad to report that if it's true after winning the debate in SC.

But nobody is reporting about it.

I think Herman just cleared up what he meant just now.

he just repeated his claim that Muslims would have to be treated differently than a Christian or Jew for a position in his administration. But old Newt did him one better!!! He is talking about loyalty test like we had in the past. I thought of Joe McCarthy...

Right..Herman Cain just proved my point exactly. Now how often does that happen? lol!

What part of some Muslims want to kill us I don't blame him for being careful. They are like sheep

in wolfs clothing. Remember 9/11 come on use your brain some people of Muslim faith aren't peaceful.

What we need to do is test the candidates, maybe an IQ test, definitely a history test...

betty - cain did explain the comment, unfortunately the liberals above don't understand interview questions.

Dear American-? 2051576, Can you say "equal protection under the law". Cain can't explain his blatant and religiously bigoted remark. He was squirming the whole time. He knew it was wrong. I can't believe you would defend that kind of statement and call yourself "American". That is just the kind of person we need to improve our relationship with Moslem countries like Indonesia, right? This country was founded by victims of religious persecution. That's why we have laws against it.

Exactly, I felt sorry for that moderate Republican voter.No one was asking for his vote. Now Bachmann want to repeal the EPA!! Yikes!!

Jody,

It makes one wonder what would they talk about if they didn't have "Obamacare" and the main points of it don't take affect until 2014! What a bunch, they are worse than I even imagined...and that's saying something.

You are right about the same BS different faces but these faces truly believe the american people are stupid and will believe anything that comes out of their mouths.

That is the problem and it really scares me to think the American people would vote for any of them.

Unfortunately you could run Elmer Fudd and Pepe LePew and if there is an (R) next to their names, there are plenty of people who would vote for them. I wish we could test this...

Fudd/LePew - 2012!

Very nice Betty...perhaps you should speak with your Republican loving idiots who block everything in the house. Hey, your republican friends would be all too happy to call your son lazy.

You SOB I don't think my son is lazy you don't even know him to even make a statement like that.

But your showing just how dumb you are no wonder you like OBAMA you think he does your thinking for

you so who is lazy when you can't even think for yourself.

Betty, reality is hard for your family and mine. I too have son looking for a job. Nothing I hear at this debate will bring jobs in the near future or even 2012. The candidates tonight say that it is after they repeal the healthcare bill, repeal federal regulations, reduce all corporate taxes then the jobs will come back. they have nothing to offer your son or mine.

Betty...it is the President's fault your son cant find a job and the food prices are high? Perhaps you should contact your representatives and ask them what are they doing about the job situation and what the Congress can do about the speculators that have driven up the price of oil, thus pushing up the prices of food, gasoline and many other sundries.

the President does not create jobs and does not control the setting of the price of a barrel of oil.......find yourself someone else to blame or would that not suit your train of thinking.

Well Obama hasn't done a thing about it.

Betty..thanks for the compliment. If you read my email I didn't call your son lazy, I said that the republicans are saying that. Haven't you been listening at all to what they have been saying about people who are out of work? You really have to blame congress for this as they have been blocking any progress at every turn. Yes, this country is a long way from being back from the recession but we are looking forward and not backward.

Gingerbread that is laughable call my representatives when they are all Dems. yea right like

they care. They haven't done anything and they aren't going to do anything.

Betty...guess if you don't call and voice your opinion to help make things better for yourself and your son then whose fault is it?

And you think all it will take is a phone call from me? Really!

Whatever Betty, you appear to be the kind who just likes to whine and blame the President. do some research and read more, you will learn some things you dont appear to understand.

Here's an answer for you Betty. You regulate the %#@$! speculators on Wall Street -- the very speculators Eric Cantor promised to protect, and the GOP/TP have protected by blocking Democrat's efforts to stop speculation.

Betty - you understand better than t.marino and gingerbread. Seems that t.marino wants to get your goat and only has the intellegence of a parroting grade schooler.

Gingerbread wants you to believe that everything is the rights fault. neither she or marino can grasp the concept that the left also played an equal role in this, as well as most taxpayers.

It won't hurt to contact your legislative reps regardless of party and ask them what they are doing to fix the situation.

It is never easy to find work in a recessionary period. Perhaps your son should go to the local unemplyment office to see if he has the job skills local employers are looking for. If not they should be able to direct him to where he may upgrade his skills.

Best wishes to you and your son, but please keep in mind that in the US, recessions occur every 7-12 years, regardless of political party.

Postscript... I am sure that you understand more about life and what works than those who rely on someone elses opinion. After all you are a caring mom with a working age son and your life experiences are worth far more than the opinion of some anonymous liberal posters.

Nice try again, but you told her to go to the local unemployment office! Your Republican friends are doing all they can to close it, so that they have more money for the military and big oil subsidies. This "recession" was hardly normal. The Republicans want to take you out to dinner, but they tell you that they don't have any money, so you can sit at the table and look at the menu, as long as you don't order anything! Betty is a very nice, very ignorant person. Which is why you tried to come to her rescue. It didn't work!

frag - to bad you don't realize that the local unemployment office does more than just process claims. At least in Iowa they do, they offer many services other than just filing for UE. They also have a data base of employers looking for workers that puts the want ads to shame.

Interesting that the republicans wanted to use unspent allocated stimulas funds to fund unemployment extensions, but the democrats just wanted to add to the deficit by borrowing anew.

I just hope to God the rest of us will follow your belief.

Uh Bonny, I think you better look at the latest employment report. Not an Obama basher, but unemployment has gone back up, or more accurately not nearly 200,00 jobs were reported being created last month.

Robert...you are correct, the jobs you speak of are public sector state jobs being lost due to the state budgets. No more money for states = no more police, fire fighters, nurses, teachers etc.

I think this entitlement mentality you speak of is a figment of an over active republican imagination. Now medicare and social security have become "entitlements". Really? Since I am paying for both, how can that be? I am glad you like the BS your hearing, makes me so proud to be an american.

T. Marino. Although it does suck, eventually SS and medicare are goners. The bad economy matched with exploding demographics doesn't bode well for them. Besides, think about it. Through most of our nation's history, we didn't have those things and were fine. If you could end the Fed and the artificially created boom and bust cycles which kill the lower and middle class, but enrich the bankers, we could either save them or get along without them.

Robert...no offense but I have paid into this for 30 years. Then give me back my money. Wallstreet has done well by us right?

I'll bet you're into the Rapture garbage too. That's like saying it's good to lose all knowledge and go back and live in the Dark Ages again for hundreds of years.

Compared to 401ks, and even professionally-managed pension plans that were lost when companies went bankrupt, Social Security is the best idea so far to give the elderly some dignity. As for Medicare, it also is the best idea so far for dealing with our growing health care problems. Medicare could and should be used to negotiate health care costs. When baby boomers hit retirement, these programs will be our only hope of maintaining decency in our society.

Like the debate, don't just complain. Contribute ideas for viable solutions. Enough!

True - and yet our politicians have done little to create a solvent medicaid or SS system. Obama thinks that just controlling healthcare provider costs is enough for medicare. Probably thinks that controlling everyday costs such as food, and shelter will work for SS as well. The thing is, is that SS was only meant to be a suppliment to old age income. Don't know what LBJ thought medicare/medicaid should have been back in the 60's.

Either obama tells everyone from the minimum wage worker to the wealthiest FICA taxes need to be increased immediately or SS and medicare will wither on the vine and no seniors will recieve any benefit from them in the not to distant future. Just a simple fact of economics

It is called the party with no new ideas. Their biggest aim is to repeal obamacare. Over and over and over and over and over again. That is all they got. That is it.

That is a significant issue.

Really....it is a significant issue? In what world is it a significant issue? With many people without jobs, many jobs now being outsourced. Price of oil, price of food increasing, salaries decreasing. Defunding education, laying off of police, teachers and nurses. This is significant? WOW!

Then you will really, really love 2016.

And what would that story be? I would be interested in knowing.

I think Gerry was being facetious--A "great story" as in lies. How more blatant can people be in rewriting history when Palin supporters tried to rewrite Wikipedia and hacked tweets regarding her E-mails? And we thought Texas text books were bad...

Did anyone think Obama could win in June 07?

GTB,

NO!

Idaho,

Yes!
