Tonight the struggle begins between Bachmann and Perry. Both will fight for every single Tea Party vote. Their paths will cross many times in the months to come. The Tea Party can pick between Rick (Elmer Gantry) Perry and Michele (Sarah Palin II) Bachman. Both are losers.

But Ron you have to love the AA+ credit rating, 9.1% unemployment and the confidence of the American people, it's as low as the Carter years. You can't get any lower and you want to continue this? Don't even blame the TEA Party, they're 60 people that got voted in and actually promised to do what their doing.

Dr. Ron: It may surprise you to find that I agree with your assessment of Michele Bachmann. She will never get the nomination and couldn't win the general election. That's why I so enjoy the lefty liberals fixation with her and find it so Hillaryous. Perry or Romney is another story. Let's face it, recent Presidential races are a choice between the lesser evil of two flawed candidates. Barry had the advantage of his only record being one of being "present" in the 2008 election. In 2012, he will have to run on his actual accomplishments. That's not looking very good with realclearpolitics.com showing the country on a right track/wrong track of 73.8% wrong track.

Real Americans can put America back to Work, the same way All of Us put our Friends & Neighbors OUT of WORK, by doing some Simple things such as, but Not Only:

Real Americans Can put America Back to Work by doing things mentioned Above!

Feel Free to Add to this List & actually Start doing these things & America's Economy will gradually come back.

We have Fast-Tracked each other's demise with the Touch of a Button, So Stop!

We Can Do This, but Only If We do This as a Country!

You Betcha!

Rick,

I'm taking it that you work for the Post Office?

But Ron you have to love the AA+ credit rating

We’ve learned by Standard & Poor’s own words the cause of the downgrade.

[...]The political brinksmanship of recent months highlights what we see as America’s governance and policymaking becoming less stable, less effective, and less predictable than what we previously believed. The statutory debt ceiling and the threat of default have become political bargaining chips in the debate over fiscal policy.

[...]It appears that for now, new revenues have dropped down on the menu of policy
options.

[...]The act contains no measures to raise taxes or otherwise enhance revenues, though
the committee could recommend them.

[...]Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the endof 2012, remain in place. We have changed our assumption on this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act.

Standard & Poors indicates that they could improve their rating for the U.S. if “the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for high earners lapse from 2013 onwards, as the Administration is advocating

Compliments of the tea baggers!

Paul-Florida, i'm takeing it You don't Understand the Concept of what I said!

Nope, never did work for the USPS!

Anything else, you'd like to Add or has the Florida Sun, Burnt Your Braincells Up?

Hurt feelings in Waterloo

Any word on whether or not Marcus's mascara ran?

Oh I understand Rick. what you mentioned above doesn't make sense. I thought you're a "forward" kind of guy? What you're saying is that we need to go back in progress.

ummm, that's kind of weak Feisty, if that was the case, who extended the tax cuts if it was such a bad idea?

Buggy whips are next Rick? Really?

Paul-Florida, I take it You Work for a Bank(at least for Now)?

I'll ask agian, You have Any Ideas on How to put America Back to Work, or just ways of Tearing Down Ideas of Others?

Only For You Joanna, Only for You, because i'm told thats Right in your WheelHouse!

ummm, that's kind of weak Feisty, if that was the case,

Ummm that IS the case Paul - from S&P's lips to you ears...

who extended the tax cuts if it was such a bad idea?

Are we really going to revisit this?

You know damn well they were extended because the GNOP once again held the middle class & poor hostage!

Only truly cold hearted rats would cut off unemployment benefits 2 weeks before Christmas...

But what would you expect from greedy bastards?

Rick: You forgot "Stop using the wheel so we can only walk from our caves to get water and food"

Moron.

Feisty,you know Paul & Joanna Know they Got Nothing to Add, only ways of Tearing Down others, they're Not Smart enough to Realize thier Useless, at the 'Touch of a Button" .

What You Got Joe in Albany, Only ways of makeing $$ off of other's Demise also?

Come On MORON(your words, not Mine), tell America whatcha Got to put America Back to Work?

Rick, KY: I'll ask agian, You have Any Ideas on How to put America Back to Work

Nobel Prize winner and renowned Liberal Paul Krugman has a great answer for our economic problems:

Paul Krugman: If we discovered that space aliens were planning to attack and we needed a massive buildup to counter the space alien threat and really inflation and budget deficits took secondary place to that, this slump would be over in 18 months. And then if we discovered, oops, we made a mistake, there aren't any aliens, we'd be better –

I can't see why Obama won't get behind this idea. I bet that's what Barack is working on and will present to Congress as his big Jobs Bill in September. I don't see anyone in Congress voting against it. Well, maybe Kucinich, because then he'd have to return to his home planet.

Got Nothing to Add, only ways of Tearing Down others,

It's gonna get a whole lot worse before it get's better Rick.

This is what happens when you don't have a dog in the hunt.

I almost feel sorry for them... I said almost! ;o)

Michele Bachman & JS1 have 1 thing in Common for sure, Conservative Women are Submissive, Sit, Bark, Rollover & many more really Cool Tricks!

Michele Bachman & JS1 have 1 thing in Common for sure, Conservative Women are Submissive, Sit, Bark, Rollover & many more really Cool Tricks.

Yeah, but we think ATMs are cool. And unlike you, we're not frightened by them.

That Krugman guy, what do you think? Crazy smart, or just crazy?

Come On MORON(your words, not Mine), tell America whatcha Got to put America Back to Work?

____________________________________________

America is in decline. Just like former world powers such as Spain, England and France. We, as a society. have gotten fat (really, really fat, judging by my last trip to the mall) and happy while the rest of the world has passed us by. The Nasty Redhead recently described anyone making less than $250K as the "have-nots". THAT is not the kind of thinking that makes a nation great. America is well on its way to becoming just another socialist mediocracy like those former world powers in Europe. And with that comes the same slow economic growth and high unemployment they have. Get used to the new normal in the good ole used-to-be most exceptional country in the world. Sad, but true.

"Nobel Prize winner and renowned Liberal Paul Krugman has a great answer for our economic problems:"

It's an analogy for setting up something along the lines of the WPA .

It is what is sorely needed, and is the most rational plan for stabilizing the work force, and stimulating the economy.

Looks like you are way down the list for the next Nobel, JAS 1.

Richard: Looks like you are way down the list for the next Nobel, JAS 1

Yeah, I deserve one just about as much as Obama deserves one.

So you're for this Alien Defense Initiative Richard? Maybe Obama will bring it up while he's on his campaign bus tour. And maybe one of the hundreds of reporters covering the tour can ask him if Obama in any way feels responsible for the bad economy of the country. Someone did that to Democratic Senator Dick Durbin the other day and here was the result:

http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/bill-kellys-truth-squad/2011/aug/11/media-cover-up-durbin-confrontation-reporter/

I'm for bringing back the WPA, JAS 1.

Clear thinking, as opposed to abject.

To extrapolate that this President is responsible for the kinetics of previously failed policies and vision, is simply ludicrous, and self defeating.

Richard: I'm for bringing back the WPA, JAS 1.

How much, and how do you intend to fund it?

Richard: To extrapolate that this President is responsible for the kinetics of previously failed policies and vision, is simply ludicrous, and self defeating.

At some point, and the point has been reached long ago, Obama is responsible for his failed policies and vision. Far leftwingers will never agree, but clear thinking objective people will.

I'd like to add, that returning vets are facing a 22% unemployment rate.

Coupled with 40% unemployment for certain demographics, and others in between, a WPA initiative is crucial at this time, and well affordable.

I don't think that Obama has failed in his policies or vision. If anything, he is rightly saddened by that lack of insight of others.

I know I am.

Responding to Richard:

I'd like to add, that returning vets are facing a 22% unemployment rate.

For those claiming we can't "afford" something like the WPA -

let's look back to 1947. Between 1942 and 1943 the national debt had risen from $72 billion to $136 billion. By 1947 the national debt was $252 billion, with a gross domestic product of $258 billion. So the ratio of debt/GDP in 1947 was around 100%. Currently, the ratio is around 54%.

Despitte the enormous debt/GDP, a republican congress and democratic administration funded both the GI BIll (in 1944) (In 1944 this was estimated to cost $3.5 billion, and included not only one year unemployment benefits, but also tuition, and house loans without down payments.) and the Marshall Plan. The Marshall Plan, which would rebuild not only the economies of our European allies BUT ALSO those of our former enemies, cost $13 billion, as well as $12 billion for other relief money to Europe.

Of course if the Tea-publicans could go back and take over the Congress of 1947, they'd be talking about "trickle-down" from the war-profiteers, and trying to balance the budget. And as for rebuiding Germany...!!!

"Of course if the Tea-publicans could go back and take over the Congress of 1947, they'd be talking about "trickle-down" from the war-profiteers, and trying to balance the budget"

And think they are being Patriotic...

Of course anyone not in La La Land knows that the 9.1 number and the AA+ was caused by the Republican-Tea Baggers to make President Obama a one term President.

you and the people in Iowa are on the same intelligence level. Look at the GOP approval rating. It has NEVER been this high. Do you actually believe the Independents are going to vote in some more Tea Baggers so we can have another fiasco like we did for the debt ceiling and will probably have again with the super committee reach an agreement. The House is lost to the GOP.

Hey Ghetto, I'm an Independent, but has of right now, today, I won't vote for Obama. Look up the definition of Leadership and tell me Obama meets that definition. Your last sentence is a tad confusing.

Are you a Big Government king of person?

gf: Independents are going to vote in some more Tea Baggers so we can have another fiasco like we did for the debt ceiling.

Would that be anything like the fiasco we saw for the 2009 Reinventment and Recovery Act, a trillion dollars of wasted money? That was all on the Democrats.

Would that be anything like the fiasco we saw with ObamaCare? The one where votes were openly purchased by Obama, Reid, and Pelosi.

Would that be anything like the fiasco where Reid/Pelsoi extended the Bush tax cuts, now the Obama tax cuts, while they still had huge majorities in the Senate/House? Even now Obama still rants about those cuts, even through he signed the bill extending them.

Would that be anything like the fiasco where the Democrats for the last 830+ days have refused to pass a budget?

Seems those were all Democrat/Obama fiasco's, that seems to be the common thread in DC for fiasco's.

I'm not counting anything, I know this though, Obama is a weak leader. I haven't looked it up, but I'm pretty sure Bobo the Clown can probably win right now.

Is that a requirement that you have glazed covered eyes to belong to a cult? Damn I learn something new everyday!

Is that a requirement that you have glazed covered eyes to belong to a cult?

Not that I know of - just found the similarities to be creepy...

Marcus does have a nice smile though... ;o)

They had been laughing.......

Siis: The UK right now is laughing at America...

How do they find the time to do so, you know, with their cities burning down?

Say it isn't so,

What's the unemployment rate right now? Was if it higher during Bush or even Clinton? If it's not, who do you pin this on?

Easy - The war monger mentality and its profiteers.

That's just the short list.

Debbie could could reduce Bachmann to less than a wet noodle, any time, any day.
