I was reminded this morning of the Welfare Reform passed during the Clinton years. Joey Scar was saying Newt sent the bill to Clinton several times only to be vetoed. They didn't stop, they just kept sending it on to the White House.

We need to regain a strong control of the House, change the fillibuster rules, and do the same darn thing with the public option.

Chilled, that aint Nuttin, last night on Lettermen, I learned Goldman Sachs has set aside $10 BILLION for yearend Bonuses!

Thats why The Carnival Barkers(formerly known as the MSM) are as Hilarious as the Clowns they chase!

J Richter, You Lie, BinLaden was KIA, not captured & now, sleeps with da Fishes.

Donald Trump calling Chucky T a LIAR yesterday, was also Hilarious.

NISL, until Harry Reid is OUT as Majority Leader, that wont happen, he still thinks the Turtle likes'em!

Occupy SoggyBottom!

JR, Further to your list:

Check out President Obama's accomplishments at:
http://www.barackobama.com/record

To see how your taxes will be affected starting this January 1st, if the GOP senate votes 'no" to extending the middle class Payroll Tax provision of the American Jobs Act, check out: http://www.whitehouse.gov/economy/jobsact/calculator

Raising taxes on the rich in a progressive paradise like NY? Why not. Shoot, might as well just jack those rates up as high as possible.

Yep, that probably won't cause too many of them to move across the boarder. How many of those people have to actually live in the state to do what they do?

Great strategy.

But we will know soon enough. Anyone actually think that tax revenues will be higher next year because of the tax hikes?

I bet they will be lower.

Stayed tuned, it'll be easy to figure out.

And gosh - more with the Obama accomplishments. Why bother?

You got President Awesome, with all those fantastic accomplishments and the weakest bunch of monkey republicans possible. Right?

Total landslide, right? He could not possibly lose, a veritable Parker Lewis.

Obama certainly is Occupy supporter. The killings, the fights, the riots, the drug use, the defecation on and destruction of property, the arrests, the attacks against the police, the rapes, the nonsensical chanting, Sounds like something Obama can get behind.

I think the GOP/TP is in for a big surprise. People of all ages have had enough of the great wealth disparity. And it is not just in the US. It is all around the world. A lot of anger is building up and something is going to blow.

Take note the Twisted,

"the-sun-shining-in-the-sky-is-a-Bad-Thing" crowd:

Being someone who looks out for ordinary, breathing, flesh and blood people is

A GOOD THING.

Oh come on phinep - you all got to pick

Either it's all good cause we have President Awesome in control, who has bitchin' accomplishments and is in control. OR we'll in for rioting and upheaval.

Which is it?

pp: I think the GOP/TP is in for a big surprise. People of all ages have had enough of the great wealth disparity.

So Obama has theorized a so called problem. What's his plan to fix it?

Yeah, there is none. Just more idle rhetoric from the Whiner In Chief, and more ear-candy for his brainless followers.

Obama 2012 - "It's not fair, it's not fair!"

So what did you get behind JoJo? Bombing women and children in Iraq? Wasting the lives of your sons and daughters to accomplish the Haliburton Mission? Your sons and daughters are coming home this Christmas. For @!$%#s sake, say thank you Mr. President.

Hey Spanky, my money is on the rioting and upheaval.

Next summer when it warms up and the hippies parents kick them out of their houses again.

Ain't no riot, like an Occupy riot.

J Richter, you said it with the line "and his political strength does draw from us......" To quote candidate Obama "change happens from the bottom up"; it is up to us to help.

Backhouse, definitely looking out for people is a good thing--something the current GOPTP does not grasp; despite their constant reference to religion, they do not comprehend what the Bible says.

It'll have to be after the Saturday cartoons are over, and they run out of Kix ceral.

Then we are all in for it!

Funny thing about this cutting edge FR article - Even WAPO has give up on OWS as a viable cause.

Man WCA, what is up with them Volt batteries?

Is Chevy just that inept, or is Toyota all kick ass? I have not heard squat about Prius' blowing up.

Hmmm...

The RWNJ's sure are nervous and agitated for some reason... lol

Problem for them is, they ain't seen nothing yet! ;o)

That's why horses wear eye shields ... snakes in the grass. I would add dumb animals but the insult would miss the mark. I am reminded of Guliver's Travels when I see the shallowness that conservatives have embraced. I believe I once posted something nice about Bill Buckley. I'll try again ... Oh Bill, where fore art thou?

Feisty - I'm not sure what has them agitated, but maybe it is the LA Times article by Spike Ward?

I want to apologize to President Obama. But first, some background.

I found out three weeks ago I have cancer. I'm 49 years old, have been married for almost 20 years and have two kids. My husband has his own small computer business, and I run a small nonprofit in the San Fernando Valley. I am also an artist. Money is tight, and we don't spend it frivolously. We're just ordinary, middle-class people, making an honest living, raising great kids and participating in our community, the kids' schools and church.

We're good people, and we work hard. But we haven't been able to afford health insurance for more than two years. And now I have third-stage breast cancer and am facing months of expensive treatment.

To understand how such a thing could happen to a family like ours, I need to take you back nine years to when my husband got laid off from the entertainment company where he'd worked for 10 years. Until then, we had been insured through his work, with a first-rate plan. After he got laid off, we got to keep that health insurance for 18 months through COBRA, by paying $1,300 a month, which was a huge burden on an unemployed father and his family.

By the time the COBRA ran out, my husband had decided to go into business for himself, so we had to purchase our own insurance. That was fine for a while. Every year his business grew. But insurance premiums were steadily rising too. More than once, we switched carriers for a lower rate, only to have them raise rates significantly after a few months.

With the recession, both of our businesses took a huge hit — my husband's income was cut in half, and the foundations that had supported my small nonprofit were going through their own tough times. We had to start using a home equity line of credit to pay for our health insurance premiums (which by that point cost as much as our monthly mortgage). When the bank capped our home equity line, we were forced to cash in my husband's IRA. The time finally came when we had to make a choice between paying our mortgage or paying for health insurance. We chose to keep our house. We made a nerve-racking gamble, and we lost.

Not having insurance amplifies cancer stress. After the diagnosis, instead of focusing all of my energy on getting well, I was panicked about how we were going to pay for everything. I felt guilty and embarrassed about not being insured. When I went to the diagnostic center to pick up my first reports, I was sent to the financial department, where a woman sat me down to talk about resources for "cash patients" (a polite way of saying "uninsured").

"I'm not a deadbeat," I blurted out. "I'm a good person. I have two kids and a house!" The clerk was sympathetic, telling me how even though she worked in the healthcare field, she could barely afford insurance herself.

Although there have been a few people who judged us harshly, most people have been understanding about how this could happen to us. That's given me the courage to "out" myself and my family in hopes that it will educate people who are still lucky enough to have health insurance and view people like my family as irresponsible. We're not. What I want people to understand is that, if this could happen to us, it could happen to anybody.

If you are fortunate enough to still be employed and have insurance through your employers, you may feel insulated from the sufferings of people like me right now. But things can change abruptly. If you still have a good job with insurance, that doesn't mean that you're better than me, more deserving than me or smarter than me. It just means that you are luckier. And access to healthcare shouldn't depend on luck.

Fortunately for me, I've been saved by the federal government's Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan, something I had never heard of before needing it. It's part of President Obama's healthcare plan, one of the things that has already kicked in, and it guarantees access to insurance for U.S. citizens with preexisting conditions who have been uninsured for at least six months. The application was short, the premiums are affordable, and I have found the people who work in the administration office to be quite compassionate (nothing like the people I have dealt with over the years at other insurance companies.) It's not perfect, of course, and it still leaves many people in need out in the cold. But it's a start, and for me it's been a lifesaver — perhaps literally.

Which brings me to my apology. I was pretty mad at Obama before I learned about this new insurance plan. I had changed my registration from Democrat to Independent, and I had blacked out the top of the "h" on my Obama bumper sticker, so that it read, "Got nope" instead of "got hope." I felt like he had let down the struggling middle class. My son and I had campaigned for him, but since he took office, we felt he had let us down.

So this is my public apology. I'm sorry I didn't do enough of my own research to find out what promises the president has made good on. I'm sorry I didn't realize that he really has stood up for me and my family, and for so many others like us. I'm getting a new bumper sticker to cover the one that says "Got nope." It will say "ObamaCares."

As one of the 1%, I really don't care if I have to pay 3% more in income tax. My investments were more profitable at pre-2001 tax rates, so go figure...

Scapegoating EITHER side of the economic divide is CLASS WARFARE, but it's also effective politicking and part of the electoral process for as long as I can remember, even before it was dubbed, "Class Warfare"

Off topic -

Last week the Senate voted 100-0 to increase the sanctions on Iran's Central Bank, which everyone seem to agree that was the way to go. Now Obama administration is asking them to cut back on the sanctions arguing that it would increase the price of oil.

In a letter late Monday to House and Senate negotiators, Sens. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., and Bob Menendez, D-N.J., pleaded with them to leave the sanctions intact.

The penalties are "tough, responsible and, most importantly, bipartisan," the two lawmakers wrote. "It provides the administration another key tool to curb Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, while keeping oil markets stable and encouraging other nations to reduce Iranian oil purchases. With the support of every single United States senator, it needs no alternations."

So why the change? I thought it was needed to slow down Iran's capability to make nuclear weapons.

Which is it?

Anyone?

So, did the writer of this piece swoon when Obama solemnly intoned that ATMs and the internet were to blame for the failure of his economic policies?

I thought not.

I hope he does continue to attach himself to the idiots occupying various town squares, damaging businesses, engaging in criminal activities, and, otherwise, showing their complete lack of place in civilized society. Particularly in light of the fact that, if a third party candidate emerges, they will get behind that candidate quicker than a duck lands on a June bug.

Looks like the media is all that left of the Cult of Obama. The rest of the country is absolutely determined that there be a change.

Now Obama administration is asking them to cut back on the sanctions arguing that it would increase the price of oil.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where did you read that? link please?

I read the Spike Ward piece this morning, and I have a question-

How is it that a cancer diagnosis suddenly, miraculously, freed up money that was not available before to pay insurance premiums?

Here is the link, dangerfield

http://blogs.reuters.com/susan-cornwell/

I had to look it up myself- I don't think thetotas knows how to post links.

It's okay- most of the rest of us know how to google stuff

This?

he Obama administration is urging US lawmakers to soften proposed sanctions targeting Iran's central bank, Senator Mark Kirk said on Tuesday.

(Snip)

Last week, administration officials testified on Capitol Hill that they were indeed looking for more ways to sanction Iran's central bank, but in a calibrated manner, to avoid roiling oil markets or antagonizing allies.

http://www.jpost.com/International/Article.aspx?id=248396

There's no other article I can find. The "sources" are Senator Kirk and his aide.

NoJoe

Thanks for the link but just like the J-post piece it's actually Senator Kirk and some aide.

Kirk said on Tuesday that the administration had written to some lawmakers' offices and "proposed what they describe as technical fixes" to the Kirk-Menendez amendment.

That is the senator (Kirk) politicking for the SPECIFIC wording of his amendment, using a "friendly" journalist to get his point out there, and I didn't see anything there about the price of oil in the USA, as Thetotas wrote, as we don't trade with Iran, something about an embargo? Seems more like inside baseball than any real policy difference, no?

I usually ignore JS1's posts, but her post #1.5 wins the blue ribbon for the most outrageous post of the day -- The lie that is painted by FOX Noise and Hate Radio about OWS.

In the last November anniversary march in NY, held in the evening after work so people could participate, THOUSANDS demonstrated. Among the demonstrators were NY city councilmen, religious leaders, union leaders for teachers, nurses, etc., along with military veterans, even retired police -- with every race, age, and background represented

You just go ahead and live in your Echo Chamber and Cone of Silence world of right-wing propaganda. It plays well to the changes taking place in the world -- Changes that will happen whether you admit it or like it or not.

Bonuses are being given out on Wall Street while Christmas will not be so joyous for far to many in this great nation of ours. GO OWS, may the 99% unite and fight for what is right!

True Patriot thanks yet again today,

The right wing said the same thing about Vietnam protestors, Civil Rights protestors.. and so on.

JS1 said all the foul/degrading/false things about our OWS patriots: that were said by the right wing in the past - about folks who were fighting hard on behalf of the American people.

And look who was on the wrong side of history.

no jo:

Your question: "How is it that a cancer diagnosis suddenly, miraculously, freed up money that was not available before to pay insurance premiums?"

Here's the answer. It comes right from the article. "The application was short, the premiums are affordable (Emphasis is mine), and I have found the people who work in the administration office to be quite compassionate (nothing like the people I have dealt with over the years at other insurance companies.)

From your snarky little fingers: "It's okay- most of the rest of us know how to google stuff."

If your snark is to be believed you can search the Internet, you just can't grasp what's right in front of you. For most of us here, that's hardly a revelation.

ACA is a winner. You are not.

It wasn't meant as snark, dw.

I was trying to help out another poster. Thetotas DOES have trouble posting links- not the only person to have a problem with it.

If it came across as snark, then I do apologize- to thetotas. I did not mean it to be snarky.

The 51% of the populace NOT paying any income taxes, but instead getting welfare checks from the 49% who do are not "the rich".

I can tell you that I am all for people paying their fair shares- I happen to be sick and tired of paying their freight.

Democrats love the poor- that's why they go out of their ways to create so many more of them. . .

Obama can only sell class warfare, a communist tactic, he can't run on his pathetic record. Are you happy with the cheesy hope and change slogan he duped the masses into voting for him? For two years he had a super majority senate, majority house. He could pass anything he wanted and did. Are you better off ?

President Obama spoke about collective amnesia and rightly so. Apparently, there is an epidemic of selective amnesia concerning the 2009 and 2010 Senate "Super Majority".

For those who persist in the Senate Super majority lie of the 111th Congress and the continuing obstruction of the 112th Congress. So,how did anything get passed?( ie. Healthcare Reform, unemployment benefit extensions, payroll tax cuts) Ah, that dirty word -compromise. Even then and today, every bill needed votes from the Independents, Blue dog Dems and Republicans.

No matter how many times you repeat that Super Majority lie it is still a lie. Did everyone forget the Blue Dog Dems (ie. Evan Bayh, and others?) In fact, they never had a Democratic super majority because of Leiberman(I. Conn), just another pissed off Independent that consistently votes with the Republicans even though he will caucus with the Dems. He backed McCain, didn't he?

There was never a "Senate Super Majority" for any length of time. The GOP/TP has set a historical record for the number of filibusters in this administration and it still continues to obstruct any bills to move us forward.

The Senate Super majority myth

January 3, 2009 - 111th Congress sworn in. 55 Democrats, 41 Republicans, 2 Independents, 2 vacant.

January 15, 2009 - Roland Burris sworn in to Barack Obama's seat. 56 Democrats, 41 Republicans, 2 Independents, 2 vacant.

April 30, 2009 – Arlen Specter changes parties. 57 Democrats, 40 Republicans, 2 Independents, 1 vacant.

July 7, 2009 – Al Franken seated. 58 Democrats, 40 Republicans, 2 Independents.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE DEMOCRATS HAD A SHOT AT A
60-VOTE MAJORITY AND STILL NEEDED BOTH INDEPENDENTS.

August 25, 2009 – Teddy Kennedy dies. Kennedy had missed 97% of the votes in 2009 and over 90% in the last half of 2008. 57 Democrats, 40 Republicans, 2 Independents, 1 vacant.

September 25, 2009 – Paul Kirk appointed to Teddy Kennedy's seat. 58 Democrats, 40 Republicans, 2 Independents.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE DEMOCRATS HAD A SHOT AT A 60-VOTE MAJORITY AND STILL NEEDED THE INDEPENDENTS.

February 4, 2010 – Scott Brown sworn in to replace Paul Kirk. 57 Democrats, 41 Republicans, 2 Independents.

June 28, 2010 – Robert Byrd dies. Byrd had missed over 90% of the votes in 2010 and almost 50% in 2009 due to illness. 56 Democrats, 41 Republicans, 2 Independents, 1 vacant.

November 29, 2010 - Mark Kirk sworn in to replace Roland Burris. 56 Democrats, 42 Republicans, 2 Independents.

Super-majority? It never really existed because during
two periods when Teddy Kennedy and/or Robert Byrd were unable to vote they still needed to get the votes of every Democrat plus BOTH independents.

FACT: The "Democrat supermajority" is a G.O.P. lie.

FACT: The GOP used every roadblock, filibuster, and secret hold they could think of so that EVERY bill had to have a 60-vote margin to pass.

Cyn,

You nailed it to the Senate floor.

A keeper, thanks.

Chilled- what do you bet Palin and Huckabee are kicking themselves right about now....?

I'm sure they are DBO. Sarah afterall was/is Presidential. ..and if she found it just too dang hard, she could always quit mid-term!... Where in the world is Sarah!

Trump is going to attack Romney now just like he did Huntsman. Should be fun.

Absolutely cannot wait for the bad hair man to come out with a statement. Won't be very pretty to Mittens.

I'm not a fan of Romney but I will say, good for him on declining the Trump Circus Debate.

You want to know what "Class Warfare" is? It is trickle down economics. The idea that if you give the rich people unlimited resources they will share it is not bellied by the facts or historical precedence. Trickle down economics is the equivalent of Class Warfare WMD.

Did you guys catch the protests going on in Russia. This is a worldwide stand that has started against the world. If you look at history, it will tell you that you can only beat the people down for so long before they start to rise up.

You mean like the progressive paradises that are western Europe Drive By?

Problem is at some point you run out of other's people's money.

looks like Germany wins WW2 after all.

Being broke sucks.

Spanky, did you see where Domenico responded to one of your comments?

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/12/06/9248293-video-a-look-at-newt-inc-how-gingrich-made-his-millions#c60505077

Dom's comment is at 1.43

(can't get the link thingy to work, sorry.)

Wow, Buzz is sure agitated today. Gonna be gettin his Hannity fix tonight fur'sure.

I got to sympathize with Buzzers though, it's true, people get upset when a country goes broke. When that government check stops coming and you're made to work and pay for it by yourself, people get upset. And all the while up until now, they had this sense of entitlement, it sure is tough.

Yeah, riots. That's the answer. The "rich" better think about building a moat.

Last night, the paper had a political cartoon showing OWS as a footnote in history with zzzz's indicating it was sleeping. Found myself wondering if that cartoonist was a shill for FOX. President Obama said in his speeh this afternoon, we know supply-side economics didn't work--it's time to try something different. Yes, we can and yes, we must. The Occupy movement is a result of the failures of Reagan's trickle-down theory; the one Newt Gingrich said he helped develop.

Thanks Amy - went back and looked.

I loved how Domenico essentially concedes his inability to get any dirt, then pops off with Newt compiled with the 'letter of the law, but not the spirit.'

Oh my, really Domenico? But do tell - what is the 'spirit' of the tax code? See Dominco that's where you flat fail. The fundamental premise of the IRC is for the tax payer to minimize the tax liability.

Consequently Dominico Newt, and all of us precisely comply with the 'spirit' of the code when we do everything we lawfully can to minimize our exposure. And I note that you uncovered no illegal activity.

Then there was his response to Bill Clinton's little MF Global problem. Domenico will not be putting out an article on that, apparently, because Bill is not 'running for president.'

Huh, so we only deal with presidential candidates here, eh? Hillary is not a politician, Bill isn't all over politics. Nope, nothing to see there. Leaning Forward with our eyes closed.

Only the news deemed suitable to print. Must suck for the libbie journalists these days. Used to be they could control the news and what gets out there. Not anymore.

Oh come on Spa, why the hell should anyone try and control what's coming from the GOP newswise? You can't make this stuff up.

Got it in for you tonight JoJo. You are going to be one of those nasty crocs in the moat! Once you have fattened up on the libs the rich are going to eat you. Yummy, pate d'another true believer.

Jody,

Actually I'm not sure who you think "We;' are, but there are very few economists who believe that "suppliy side economics doesn't work." What you will find is that absolutely no reporters for the major media outlets understands what supply side economics is, and thanks to Geroge Bush Senior and his comment equating supply side economics to voodoo economics back in 1980, most people dismiss it without thinking.

The best way to describe supply side economics would be to use a line from the movie "Field of Dreams" - "If you build it, they will come." All supply side economic theories have a foundation in the simple thought that demand appears if something is supplied. And we have seen this thousands of times. Before there were Compact Discs no one was pounding the streets demanding htem, but once they were offered and shown to be better than cassette tapes, they flew off the shelves, only to be pushed back once the internet allowed the trading of MP3 files.

Just about every major "fad" is a supply-side phenomenon. Some person or company provided a new item that people wanted, and it sold.

So the principles of "supply side economics" is that the goal of a government should be to make sure that companies are provided the best environment to innovate and develop new products and that they have a stable and understandable body of regulations under which htey will operate. I think just about anyone can agree that as a theory, this makes sense.

It's the unfortunate and in many ways immoral ties to big-business that have brought a foul name to supply-side economics, and that is not a new problem. When Adam Smith first wrote his seminal book on the Causes of the Wealth of Nations one of the major problems of hte time was "Merchantilism" where large trading companies that had loaned funds to the nobility had an inordinate amount of influence and power. Totay we have 3 groups that do that, Wall Street to both parties, Defense contractors to the GOP, and Organized Labor to the Democrats. All 3 play the "trickle down" economic game, and I do agree taht when you allow interest groups and lobbyists to infleuence and pervert legislation you end up with a system taht hurts the little guy.

But I assure you that nothing I have seen either party propose in the last 15 years won't hurt the 99% in the end. No nation ever spent itself back to prosperity, but several empires did spend themselves into oblivion. Right now the US looks like it will be joining Rome, Byzantium, the Ming Dynasty, the Ottoman Empire, and the Persian Empire on the dungheap of failed governments. All died after they started spending far more than they could take in through taxes and tariffs. I see little hope the US can somehow avoid their fate.

The OWS confused moron brigade will be forgotten soon. The Democrats who touted these idiots will feel it in November

Well, hello Ursula:

Keep at it. What the hell is the matter with the Justice Department that they think all of this money just disappeared? Maybe if we keep asking these questions enough, we can get old Eric to put his war on reefer - goddamned vicious killer potheads - on the back burner and go after the economy saboteurs.

MF Global loses more than a billion-dollars and the razor-sharp accountants who populate the number-crunching crowd - well, doggone it, they just can't find it. I know I am a mere proletarian and have no business asking such questions, but don't you think it's even a teensy-weensy bit hard to misplace a billion-dollars?

The trouble is a lot of that money was "thin air" money printed on speculated paper in Wall Street.

How funny - the DOJ "withdrawals" it's letter to Grassley denying knowledge of Fast and Furious.

Fast and Furious is blowing up right now.

Turns out that the 2000 guns they let walk was nothing. The government ramped up commercial guns sales to the Mexican Government and military, even though they knew 25% of those fell into cartel hands.

We are talking a much bigger problem than F&F.

Poor Holder, he is going to get wrecked on Thursday.

Obummer had 2 years to get us out of this mess. He has been a miserable failure. All he can do is wage class warfare. Gee that makes alot of sense ??? He's going back to Chicago in January with the rest of the mafia to wallow in his ill gotten millions. I wonder if he's found the 58th state yet?

Obummer had 2 years to get us out of this mess

That is SO idiotic jerry...

dubya & dickless took EIGHT YEARS to put us IN this mess... and the fallout is still continuing.

President Obama has done a lot toward cleaning up that mess in two years, but I hear you bitchin that he has not been a miracle worker or wizard who can snap his fingers and make it all okay again.

And remember... the President's slogan was, "YES WE CAN!" which puts some of the responsibility on YOU and me and the useless teanut Congress

Do not complain that President Obama has not shown leadership when you and the House and all other RWNJ's REFUSE to follow... some people can not BE led.

DUH!

Bob of the numbers, you are so very boring and predictable in your comments. Yawn.

But don't you just love his avatar? "No Body but Obama".

What a guy.

"Occu-poop" movement. Ha Ha Ha Ha ....get it? "poop'. 'movement'! Ha Ha Ha.....

Hey, Spanker- you thought I was funny, what about THIS guy??

Exit question for you DBO - if Obama gets behind OWS, how many times will we be seeing the picture of that OWS-er crapping on that cop car?

And how many shots of all the urine filled bottles and trash left behind?

I'm with you Drive By - OWS is very funny stuff.

The funny thing is that republicans participate in class warfare everyday, they just do it by paying lobbyist to fight for their interests, and how dare occupiers think they have a place at the political table with all you winners. Give yourselves another pat on the back and I hope and pray you guys never end up in the situation of many hard working Americans where you dare ask for at the very least a cost free voice to be heard.

OWS seems to be having an impact, like it or not.

On who? liberal moon bat communists. It is only motivating intelligent people to vote Democrats OUT.
