Hey Feisty - do you know how to take someone off ignore? You are coming through as blue, but your posts are still collapsed. Maybe someone at First Read could give an explanation as to how to dump the ignore feature.

Wow...

There's no longer any doubt.

This proves that Rick Perry would be an even worse President than President Obama is.

Hmmm...

Maybe.

But...

You're probably going to need more proof.

You're probably going to need more proof.

Not for any rational person. There's been plenty of it posted out here, and you know it. This is just more of the same.

And that's the only thing that keeps me going right now with regard to the current administration.

All i have to do is consider the alternatives.

Wow, the vetting is getting serious, and so soon.

What kind of vitamins is Bachmann taking? And does Romney color his hair, just leaving a touch of gray? And you know Herman Cain has a cholesterol problem, plus he uses tomatoes for his sauce that were picked by illegal aliens.

At least Obama left Washington to go vacation at Camp David. The guy worked a tough week, that scheduling snafu with Congress took a lot out of him. And speaking of benefiting, at least the state union workers benefited from the Obama stimulus money. Too bad that money all ran out, but the contributions from those unions to Obama continued.

"What kind of vitamins is Bachmann taking? And does Romney color his hair, just leaving a touch of gray?"

Wow- crooked deals to accomodate 'nookaler' waste equate to hair color and One-A-Days. Who knew?

I'm not a suitable substitute for Feisty.......but......

Click on your moniker to get you to your home page. Click on "account". Click on "ignored users". Click on "unignore".

drive-by-observer:

Bachmann takes a Vitamin A supplement. It seems she accidentally prayed away the A.

David Walker-

You obviously have some not-previously revealed (lol) self-esteem issues.

Don't sell yourself short.

You're easily "a suitable substitute for Feisty..."

Feisty might be smarter, David...

But no one questions your enthusiasm.

Good ol' Rick..Cronyism and Quack therapies...Yup..

The Killer -in Chief is worthless. The sooner his scams are rounded up the more the electorate will see him for the scum he is.

First, it is not "quack therapy"- but the writer of this article not only does not know anything about the treatment, but spent not one iota of time finding out what was involved.

The idea behind extracting one's own stem cells, and then introducing them to the area of surgery, is that they have been shown to promote faster healing from spinal surgeries. I know- my father had the same surgery and treatment ten years ago, at that "quack" institution- Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York.

Second, if we are going to talk about "benefitting donors", perhaps one of the illustrious "professional journalists" on this site could move themselves to mention the number of political donors to Obama who have gotten trillions of taxpayer dollars in repayment? Solardyne, which just went belly-up, got half a billion- and investment urged by a major Obama donor. Evergreen, similarly the baby of a major Obama donor, also got half a trillion. Not only did they shut down operations, laying off 800 workers, but they added insult to injury by moving their base of operations to China. How can we forget Steve Westly, with his half trillion for Tesla?

The list goes on, but First Read ill not touch it.

I don't know the story behind this particular clinic getting authorization to store stem cells, so I have no idea if this is a good or bad idea.

Neither does the author of this hit piece. It's up to their usual, journalistic standard.

Well, whattta you know- No Jo figgered out a way to swing this around to Obama.

Will wonders never cease?

Will wonders never cease?

A day without a daily dose of I HATE OBAMA rants from the NJ nut job, is like a day without sunshine! ;o)

You sure they didn't inject Perry with a tracking chip so ALEC and the Koch brothers can keep an eye on where he is at all times? It probably doubles as a mind control chip too.

Ahh, the wonders of science.

JAS-He has disappeared several times while governing, and hasn't kept records of his schedule/won't release any info. So we here in Tx think he could be "hiking on the Appalacian Trail". Once was photoed in the Bahamas with a couple of very rich guys. Wouldn't be the first time a bible-thumper went hiking.

NJ, The main idea wasn't whether the science was questionable, it is the repeated open cronyism of Perry. Texas now has a law that says people can hunt coyotes/wild hogs from a helicopter (aka-Alaska), so don't be shocked to see a deal where only one company can build/sell/operate helicopters in Texas. Or there may be a deal where only wild hogs grown/developed at A & M can be hunted from helicopters. It would be funny if it weren't possible.

[The main idea wasn't whether the science was questionable, it is the repeated open cronyism of Perry.]

Well you see, to HoJoBloMo it really doesn't matter ...as long as the spotlight is taken off of Perry ala his cronyism, AND she can swing it around to somehow include her current president, which she and others have an obvious disdain for.

[Neither does the author of this hit piece. It's up to their usual, journalistic standard.]

MoJoBloMo, again I bring up to you, if this story is just another "hit piece" up to their "usual, journalist standard", what in the world possesses you and others to spend so much time here AND feel the need to make comment after comment?

I dunno. I'm a Dem, and I think that's a legit law.

You're going to snuff a heartbeat out, you should hear it first.

You shoot a man, you should have to look at him to do it.

You stab someone, you should be watching them when the knife slides in.

The depersonalization and ability to not be present during the taking of life is what is causing a lot of pain in the world right now. We shouldn't add to it.

R/

Guy who's had to do 2 of 3 above.(didn't listen a heartbeat)

teknishan

I dunno. I'm a Dem, and I think that's a legit law.

Dunno, I think you're a troll.

@ Fiesty, I glad you had the pleasure to meet our Senator. It's a good thing Durbin went after that ALEC.

I want them to after the Car thief and arsonist Darrel Issa who is wasting tax dollars on his witch hunts. Did you her about that guy Issa's personal Goldman exec changed his name to honor his family's Transylvanian heritage.

Yea right, it's more like a Hungarian fascit military dictator.

"You shoot a man, you should have to look at him to do it."

Absolutely.

You let kids starve and their parents lose their homes, you should have to look them in the eyes when you cast votes that do it.

Judy, only parts of the sonogram law were struck down; the requirement to have them was not. Good old GOPTP ordered unnecessary medical procedures that merely add to the costs of medical care.

teknishan, while you are entitled to your opinion, it reads as if you believe women are ignorant, that they seek an abortion without careful thought, that they make the decision lightly. No woman needs to hear a heartbeat or see a picture to realize what they are doing. It simply isn't anyone's business, it is between a woman, her doctor and her God.

It is a rare woman who does not suffer greatly coming to the decision of having an abortion.

I want to ask, with this new cut to everything, just how is a woman to feed her child after it is born if she wanted an abortion because she could not afford another child and cannot even afford to take the time off to have another baby even to give it away.

Republicans want to pretend it is done willy-nilly without even thinking about it.

They also seem to think that making a government large enough to watch every woman's uterus is small government. Freedom from government interfering except when the religious think it is their right to interfere and tell us what to do.

And American- it's EXACTLY the thing we've been tossing back and forth for the last two days, when discussing why people need to keep their religious beliefs the hell out of everyone elses lives.

Just because one person believes something, does not make it someone elses reality.

For sure, DBO. Figure out a way to make it happen. I'll look everyone in the eyes when I cast my ballot, my conscience is clear.

But there has to be a line somewhere. I am pro-choice, save for my own kin. It's everyone's personal issue, and nothing that should be legislated.

BUT. that said, I still think listening to a heartbeat is a good law. You can't just kill without understanding the consequences. Life doesn't work that way, save the life of a sociopath.

Women are smarter than what you think. You can know the consequences without hearing the heartbeat.

The heartbeat is not going to change the mind of a woman who has gotten to that point. It is just an extra expense for something no one can afford whoever has to pay for it.

Just watch, Jody- it won't just be 'the media', it will be the 'left-wing, commie media' that's only just beginning....

That's right, DBO, that darn liberal media bias!

"Stick With Rick" and in no time you will be wearing buffalo chips the size of diamonds.

Brianb-999431

It must be Friday. The comments are slowing down after the huge input of earlier this week. Geeezzz... I finally check in and what do my wondering eyes behold... a half impotent story about Perry.

MSNBC First Read writers - you are a disappointment today. Nothing about Sarah Palin?

Brianb

I'll give you one.

Palin will up the ante but not announce run in Iowa speech; NO make that two.

‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’ To Receive $1.2 Million In Tax Credits, Thanks To Law Palin Signed

“Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” the 8-part TLC reality show, is set to receive $1.2 million in tax credits, helping the program’s producers recoup a third of the $3.6 million they spent filming in the Frontier State.

While many supporters of the measure have claimed that it produces tangible economic benefits, the Daily News-Miner reports that the actual analysis of its impacts has been minimal and inconclusive, even as Alaska considers legislation that would “allow the state to maintain secrecy on production information.

ARE you happy with your duplicitous "what can you do for me" Wasilla Hillbilly stories?

*popcorn*?

Bob I believe the money in question went to the "workers" some of which belonged to a union some of which did not, but you never seem to let little things like "facts" get in your way do you bober?

Bob poor Bob, You probably heard this from rush limpsomthing, he does so love to lie. I think 40% went to tax cuts and then each state like Perry's got money.

80% liar, liar pants on fire. Don't you ever get tired of feeling dumb for repeating lies?

this joke is over my head. Please offer a clue.

A play on words. Never mind....

Accurate observations HMike....

it is the Republican "spin the facts and re-write history" ploy to let them NOT take responsibility for what they have done in the past. We are coming up on an election year you know, so they hope to distance themselves from the failures of the eight years they had the white house last time. They are praying voters will forget what they did 2001 - 2009 and let them back in....

I don't think so!

I hate to say it folks but the Republicans ability to re-write history has served them quite well, they are masters of making people embrace empty rhetoric and ignoring the truth, most people in this country will base their vote on a catchy slogan or 15 second sound bite with complete disregard as to whether it is factual or not, the average voter will not take the time to mount an investigation into a particular add or candidate, that's why the supreme court ruling opening the floodgates on money that corporation can spend in politics is so damaging, people will be bombarded with lies, half truths and deceptive adds by corporate America as well as foreign interests, do you think they will spend the time trying to dig out the truth?

What's the source, Rob in ma?

Berkshire Hathaway owes back taxes as do
many companies but not Warren Buffet personally.

as romney said corporations are people too......and Buffet is Berkshire.

Spin it all you want

Ok, nobody stand within arms length of Rob...he's stabbing in the dark, and you might get hurt.

Jesus H. Christ on a popsickle stick, Rob...talk about spinning something...you may want to return to your seat over at Fox Nation or The Blaze...it's getting cold, don't you think?

withou thearing or eve ndebate-especially about something as controversial as stem cells- is at least astonding

Can you even imagine what wingnuts and teabaggers would say if the President were involved in something like that????????

But - Republican double standards - its okay for Parry (hes a good ol' boy...)
