He want us to "get behind Santorum"

YUCK

Yet Obama's base of support is Hollywood, full of airhead Kardassian-like celebrities. Obama flies in to Tinseltown to smooze with the elitist wealthy 1% all the time.

I agree!Go Ron Paul!

Did Ron Paul already hand out the legal smokes?

Where are the other D-list reality TV show endorsements? Idol Kelly Clarkson for R. Paul, Duggars for Santorum. Where are the all important Kardashian, Hells Kitchen, Bachelor/Bachelorette endorsements?

I'm waiting to hear who Snooki & the Situation endorse...

Feisty,

I don't think it would be Chris Christie.

Christian here, I will not be backing any pro-war kill em all candidates in 2012 like Santorum. That's not very Christ-like in my opinion.

Leave it to the supreme writers on First Read to come up with a reality TV connection. If you don't hear it on regular media, tune into First Read for all the latest gossip and in-depth analysis of the real news. The pro-Obama, anti-republican news source, First Read.

Makes for a lot of fun for us conservatives...

Chuck Norris gave his backing to Ron Paul and I'm pretty sure he could kick all the Duggar's baby factory asses. ;)

Of course they support a religious radical like Santorum. The Duggar clan wants to make sure they continue to get the $1,000 per child tax credit.

Seriously, the 47% that don't pay taxes are the Duggars and business owners not subjected to W2 third-party reporting. Or at least limit the tax credit to two children (zero population) -- This is the same as Welfare Queens having more babies for bigger welfare checks. End tax credits and redistribution of wealth -- We need fairness in taxation NOW!

Great avatar, BoB...

Nobody But Obama, eh?

I've often heard that if your family ends up on a lifetime television show, or even close to it, you have major problems. There is no better way to know you've got major problems, it's even worse than if you had ended up on a Jerry Springer show because it indicates a long-term sort of problem. Rick Santorum would fit right in on that channel with his cross country trip carrying his dead fetus back to the famiily where he forced his other young children to cuddle up with it and sing songs to this disfigured premature long-dead fetus. All you hear about on the news is him crying about losing a child, you don't ever hear all the gorey details. I've not met a Christian in my life who would do something like that and there is no way this big-spending big-government wacko needs to be within 10 miles of "the button". All he talks about is how proud he is to take out new loans to start a new war.

I agree true patriot, Jim Bob (so very stereotypical) Duggar pays ZERO in federal and state income tax because he is claiming married and over 10 children. Plus he gets the $1000 dollar tax credit per child so the tax payers are paying Jim Bob nearly $20,000 a year in tax refunds on taxes he has never paid, that is CRIMINAL. I am a single man with no children so I get raped by the feds yet I hardly use any of the tax base, Jim Bob and his wife, clown car, and the circus that climbed out of her are stealing from the TRUE TAX PAYING AMERICANS who actually work for a living.

How do you all know what the Duggers tax situation is?

Mr. Rogers - Render unto ceasar what is ceasar's and to God what is Gods. As a citizen your government can require your service and support of a war. i don't have a problem of going to war for national security, or to protect our citizens or allies, or even to liberate innocents.

George

Rick Santorum would fit right in on that channel with his cross country trip carrying his dead fetus back to the famiily where he forced his other young children to cuddle up with it and sing songs to this disfigured premature long-dead fetus.

You are adding details to the story I have yet to see a story calling the child as disfigured - Start being more sensitive. As closure hospitals do allow parents to hold dead infants. I don't think they put a time limit. Furthermore, taking it home would not be something I would do, but there are hospitals that permit taking dead babies home, for a variety of reasons including how the hospital is going to dispose of it - which is really offensive to people who cherish life.

If there were not already so many reasons not to vote for Santorum this would clinch it.

Idiots like Santorum and the Duggars are the reason the worlds population has gone from 1.6 billion to 7+ billion in only one hundred years.

If the entire Duggar clan were of the legal voting age, it would be a landslide for Insanitorium. If the Duggars' keep churning them out by 2036 this family will rule the state.

Great avatar, BoB...

Nobody But Obama, eh?

Maybe he thinks Anybody is spelled "nebody"

Text speak, gotta love it.

Two dozen more occupants of the same floor in the insane asylum. The Duggars are a disgrace to humanity.

The only difference between the religious-fundamentalist zealot Santorum and an Islamic fundamentalist Jihadist is that when Rick gets to his version of heaven, he won't have all those dancing virgins to deflower.

Amy,

your hero Obama drops unmanned drones on Pakistan, which killed terrorist suspects and anyone unlucky enough to be in the vicinity, including children.

But the progressive moral outrage at war is selective, isnt it?

Well, now, there you go Bob, and how does Obama's actions jibe with the so-called "apology tour" Republicans claim he went on?

Very good diversion, Amy, but not relevant to my point.

You claimed Santorum wanted children killed, because he supported possible military action. against Iran.

Yet your hero Obama , Commander in Chief, has presided over miltary attacks which kill children. Does he want to kill children, too?

Winter Truce Talks With Taliban

Without announcement, the CIA stopped carrying out drone strikes in Pakistan seven weeks ago. European allies are already endorsing peace talks with the Taliban. The president is signaling a prisoner transfer from Guantanamo to Afghanistan. The Muslim Brotherhood’s chief jurist, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, has agreed to mediate negotiations.

The president’s detractors on the left will declare none of this to be meaningful at all, because the president is the same as Bush if not worse. Yet that last bullet point point about al-Qaradawi has National Review Chief Islamophobe Andrew McCarthy hysterically declaring “the surrender is complete now” in Afghanistan.

Of course, in the neocon world ‘success’ in Afghanistan is measured by the continued presence of many tens of thousands of troops, their continued deaths in roadside bombings and combat, and the unending carnage of war. Rather than recruit a mediator with credibility among the jihadis, the president (they think) should send John Bolton’s mustache of doom because (of course) all Muslims are the same, even when they’re not.

As I’ve written before, bringing the Taliban to terms means not compounding them with al-Qaeda, but rather dividing them from the terrorist organization. Here’s Vice President Biden last month:

Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That’s critical. There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy because it threatens U.S. interests. If, in fact, the Taliban is able to collapse the existing government, which is cooperating with us in keeping the bad guys from being able to do damage to us, then that becomes a problem for us. So there’s a dual track here:

One, continue to keep the pressure on al Qaeda and continue to diminish them. Two, put the government in a position where they can be strong enough that they can negotiate with and not be overthrown by the Taliban. And at the same time try to get the Taliban to move in the direction to see to it that they, through reconciliation, commit not to be engaged with al Qaeda or any other organization that they would harbor to do damage to us and our allies.

In the lefty ‘sphere, it is popular to say the president stands to the right of John Bolton on Afghanistan. Such caricatures are easy: combat is combat, after all. As long as America’s war in Afghanistan and Pakistan continued, it has been easy to demagogue as ‘more of the same.’ But what will these voices say if peace breaks out? Because both caricatures cannot be true at the same time, but they can both be false.

To President Obama, success in Afghanistan is measured in timely withdrawal without Afghanistan collapsing in America’s wake.

Hey, the Republicans are always saying they want to "take our country back." I guess they want to take it back to the Middle Ages, you know: fuedalism, Wealthy owing 99%, Aristocratic control, no middle-class, religious control; women, childrean and non-whites are property.

President Obama had to come in and end two wars as maturely as possible. That's the kind of president we all wanted.

What good is it after all that has been shed in Afghanistan & Iraq to simply say - okay, I've had enough - let's leave. This is the United States of America. You don't just up and leave. That's common sense. Simple common sense.

These are the same people who were FOR THESE WARS all those years ago btw.

People assume Bill Maher, Arianna Huffington, Greenwald, Michael Moore, Cenk are correct simply by the fact they have a microphone in front of them and have big mouths.

Let's be clear here - they have zero responsibilities. Zero.

No one in this country uses common sense any longer. They're too busy trying to make a name for themselves than think for a moment of the realities facing the president.

And if they want some real responsibilities, then tell them to go and run for something. Otherwise, they're clueless on just about everything. So GD irresponsible.

President Obama is the only one in this country who has to make serious decisions every single day. Everybody else does nothing except boo.

Well, anybody can do that. That's always been the easy way out. Why don't they run for office if they think they can do a better job?

No, they're happy getting rich off of ignorance.

Pat?

What is the point of posting nonsense?

, in the neocon world ‘success’ in Afghanistan is measured by the continued presence of many tens of thousands of troop

Did Obama increase the number of troops in Afghanistan? Why......I think he did. Yet, your source, and by extension, you, blame "the neocons". Irrational and stupid.

Prisoner exchange? Tell us....since you think you know....how many U.S. soldiers are being held prisoner in Afghanistan? ONE!

You grasp every foolish and unsubstantiated bit of info from left leaning blogs and don't even consider they may not know WTF they are blogging about.

BTW.....Afghanistan collapsed into tyrannical control when the Soviets pulled out. It is only the uninformed and feeble minded which think the Taliban was anything but control by fear.

Bob and Amy, just vote Ron Paul, then you get someone who has opposed these wars from the start, other than voting to remove the Taliban from power and go after Osama which 90% of America approved of..

Doug,

Sorry about the Dawgs. That was a tough one.

But it was a great game phine! That's what I want.

Rose Bowl time now. 42 points already. It's going to be wild!

Congrats to the "never say die" young men of Michigan State!

@ RedDevPS 2.1 Who wants 72 virgins anyway that does not sound very fun, how about 71 virgins and at least one very naughty girl.

Good one, Forrest! Hope your New Year's celebration were fun!

Forrest - Santorum is wound so tight I suspect that if he had one day with the one naughty girl, he would become a bleeding heart liberal.

RedDevPs- when ricky's at home with the misses HE IS the "naughty little girl". Take my word for it I know these types. They pretend to be all dominant and straight-laced but behind closed doors rick is the one who wears the panties in the house.

I have spent years researching the conservative mind and I've found the reason they cling so tightly to religion and rub their "faith" in your face is because deep inside their demons are raging, these people are wound so tight and so full of dark perverse cravings it's all they can do to keep the horns hidden for 8 hours a day.

Thanks New Day Happy New Year to you and your family. I must have had more fun than I realize becuase I just woke up from a little nap since I made that last post. I got to get back to work all this time off makes me lazy.

If I was a candidate, I'd pay the Duggars to endorse some other candidate. I mean the Duggars are about as normal as Charles Manson. I wouldn't want any oddball endorsements AT ALL. For every voter out there that might be swayed by a Duggar endorsement, there are ten more who will say "Whoa, wait a minute." It's got to be a net loss for Santorum. People who were thinking "Yeah, he's pretty good" might now be thinking he has views that are extreme enough to appeal to oddballs like the Duggars. Not good for a candidate who was already considered pretty extreme.

i vote jim bob ...go reproduce...again ...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again...and again...if he wasn't married he'd have second degree burns on his hands...

The Duggars have the time to endorse a politician ....these crazy people who live in a garden of Eden populating the USA by themselves....more like the kiss of death to another crazy loon Santorum !!!!

ita

I actually agree with you there!

I think Eden was a bible theme or fantasy per the Atheist...

They aren't independent, they are brain washed. Big difference. As far as those so-called "parents" I use that term loosely, because real parents shouldn't dump a baby upon another child, just to continue a production line. She needs mental help. Her guilt from having a miscarriage is the problem.

BTW, one of my best friends is a moral upstanding citizen, who came from a well to do family, and chose to become a teacher. He teaches in a low income neighborhood, his one brother is a social worker, and his other brother is a legal aid lawyer. Their parents are LEFT WING ATHEISTS, and though they could have more than afforded to have many more children, and both came from very large families, they decided to stop to take care of their children, properly, and raise decent human beings.

I doubt any of the Duggar children will do anything more with their lives, then to pass out bibles, and produce too many babies, in an already grossly overpopulated world.

I doubt any of the Duggar children will do anything more with their lives, then to pass out bibles,

The Duggar Kids are already popping out the second generation of irresponsible!

@StephAce - Whats your point?

You are just jealous that conservatives have more offspring

That's right - the very same conservatives who suck off the public teat all the while condemning social safety nets!

Thanks for the reminder booby! ;o)

Bob, I was just ignoring your ranting as they didn't really make a lot of sense, or contribute much to any form of intelligent conversation, rather it seemed to be the usual right wing blather in response to liberal comments. But when you indict social workers as people "whose role is to encourage the poor to remain poor and dependent", I couldn't ignore you any more. My wife is a social worker. Currently she is a stay at home Mom with our two young children. Before that she worked as an admissions coordinator at a nursing home. She played a vital role in helping families adjust to the placement of a loved one in that home. It was up to her to make sure all procedures were followed, and all laws governing the admission of a person to a nursing home - you may not be aware of it but there are many. Paperwork needed to be done, in a timely fashion. Most importantly, she helped this person adjust to their new environment, and the family come to grips with their loved one's infirmity.

Now, you can make your absurd blanket statements about social workers and public sector lawyers, but I know better and suspect most thinking people know better. If this is really your opinion, I feel sorry for you. The people you belittle are there to help the most helpless amongst us in society. Are some malingering at the expense of the rest of us, probably. Should we indict the entire system? I don't think so.

As you seem to think highly of Bible reading, I would encourage you to reread the Beatitudes. You might be less self-righteous in your comments.

The Duggar Kids are already popping out the second generation of irresponsible

I can agree that 18 or 19 children is too much. No matter how much "love" one may think they are capable of; but that is too much on the woman. She lost the last attempt because she was not physically able.

But "irresponsible"? No. They support them without govt assistance. Unlike the welfare queen from California who failed at her attempt at a reality show. If they want to have that many children.....well....as long as "it doesn't break my leg or pick my pocket".....

For bob to attempt to make any argument whatsoever that any two parents should have the 19-20 kids that the Duggars have is irresponsible. To continue that point as somehow "proof" that liberals are narcissists because we believe in responsible family planning decisions is laughable.

It proves two things. Poor bobby still does not know the meaning of narcissism, and that he is not terribly bright.

I feel sorry for the middle child!

Great avatar, BoB...

Way to champion the cause, bruh...

Forrest, how the heck do you figure out who the middle child is in that bunch?

Ha see what I mean the middle child always feels lost in the shuffle and a bit unnoticed.

"The people you belittle are there to help the most helpless amongst us in society. Are some malingering at the expense of the rest of us, probably. Should we indict the entire system? I don't think so."

So, John, do all public sector workers go to heaven? Geez, after the salary, never being fired, no real goals to reach, lifetime pension, they also get a free pass right through St Peter? Did the SEIU union negotiate this?

And yes, I will indict the entire welfare system, it has been a flat failure. A failure to the hardworking taxpayers. A failure to welfare recipients, who are subsidized and encouraged and taught to be dependents. They are not given the strong necessary medicine of self reliance. The only success of the welfare system is in growing its own bloated bureaucracy.

Working in the public sector doesnt mean sainthood, sorry, the Beatitudes dont mention that to do good deeds, you have to have a salary and pension and vacation time and politicized public unions.

sells weed...and moonshine...bless her heart...

Unlike the welfare queen from California who failed at her attempt at a reality show.

Palin is from Alaska.

I wonder, Bob, if you know how much welfare is for a family of 4. I'm not sure you realize that for a Mom, Dad and a kid, they would get $230 max a month. That's assuming they have no income at all. I live in a modest home and that was the cost of my heating bill last December. How, exactly, is that small subsidy creating a "dependency" on welfare? Well, it's not. People living high on the hog on welfare is a myth. TANF payments are small, hard to get and in most states come with a requirement to seek work. If a member of the household has any income, even just occasional handy work, that payment could be as low as $100 a month. People cannot survive on this, let alone milk the system for years and years. The welfare queen myth of the 80s is long dead.

Angry left

That was just stupid. Palin made a bundle off her show. Stop being jealous of success.

Lets see, here are some other people that made a "bundle" from reality TV. The high quality of people in Palin's class.

Snooki, The Situation, Octomom, The Kardashians, Teen Mom (Amber), the midget couple, the "moonshiners", redneck hand fishers, lumberjacks......

Such fine company Palin keeps.....a great quality of people she can lump herself in with.

No, just means they are ignorant.

Not all of the Duggars endorsement- I DON'T have 19 childreen- I have 3 and I don't endorse Santorum- I endorse Ron Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama has all the endorsements of airhead millionaire celebrities. It is the funding base of the Democratic Party...wealthy 1% Hollywood celebrities. The film industry gets very special tax breaks, you know, and the filthy rich actors and directors take advantage to pad their bank accounts.. But of course it is OK since they are liberal hypocrites...

And to think one of the filthy, wealthy actors became president!

hate alcohol ... scram, everyone here is a drunk and we like it that way!

Ideology

I will drink to that!

Well those other Duggars must love alcohol, there must be a non rational explanation as to why someone would have 19 kids.

Momma forgot the line, "not tonight honey, I have a headache"

Momma Duggar also forgot that an aspirin between the knees is a great form of birth control! ;o)

Dammit, I just cleaned my monitor, now I have to do it again! LMAO

In Quebec it was called 'revenge of the cradle'. Too many anglo-protestants being born so the French Catholic church decided to fight back by hectoring their flock to have baby after baby ... many a good woman died. The youngest son of the brood went into the priesthood, the eldest daughter to the nunnery and the youngest daughter was relegated to a spinster life as she was relegated to taking care of her parents to the grave.

I would have made a terrible nun. But I am a pretty darn good sinner, if i do say so myself. (Sin as described by the far right)

The road to Heaven is through Hell darling, enjoy the roadside stops.

I will savor every stop along the way.

Don't worry about avoiding temptation, as you get older it avoids you!

Forrest

Just full of the jokes today!

Good for you.

I would love to ger the Kasrdashian endorsement

It only lasts a couple of weeks Doug.

Forrest

A couple of weeks?

Better than expected!

Be careful what you wish for Doug, it could kill you and the undertaker would never get that smile off your face.

Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you get older, it will avoid you!

? I don't know how that happened either.

airhead millionaire celebrities

The same people that the right wants to cut taxes on.

Marching off to war (or New Hampshire, same diff)

What in the clouded mind is Santo doing going to NH ... swing south boy, off to SC with ya ... oh well, stupid is as stupid does.

They will hate the former senator from Pennsylvania in the south. One, he's a yankee. Two, he's Catholic. Three, he's a yankee Catholic. But they will love Perry & the Newt.

phine, you are probably correct, I just find that Santy going to NH is a complete waste of resources (if any) and time and points to the undeniable conclusion that he would be the most inept foreign policy President of all time ... I hear the 'it's Obama' trolls coming. I think a glass of red is my next step out of here. Back in an hour or so.

Champagne for me. See you later.

That is funny, since he is no longer a Senator, ya dope.

Bob, I ... I ... I ... actually agree with ya.

He is no longer a Senator because the voter's threw him out big time..........

Oh, wait. I do watch those paranormal guys when they come to my town. I love how they get the history all wrong. It's a hoot!

Kinda like Conservatives and Tea Partiers, Phine!!!

None of this matters. They're both losers. Period. Done.

Wow "Ron"

You make about as much sense as the liberals on this site (sorry guys).

Tell me "RON", who made this statement?

"alliances with none, trade with all"

I'll give you as many guesses as you wish and a clue....

His initials are RON PAUL.

I have a great deal of respect for Dr. Paul but firmly believe some who support him have gone over the deep end. He has good ideas concerning some issues, others not so much.

"alliances with none, trade with all"

It's actually "Entangling alliance" as Paul says it. Meaning, we won't be pulled into a war that does not threaten the United States.

You'll find all of Paul's positions are based on the same principals and sound logic of the things you agree with. This is really how most Paul supporters start out... agreeing with Paul on a few issues, doing their research and coming around on others in ways they never considered.

What do you not understand ? The fact that Santorum is in this for personal gain is obvious. Santorum is for outsourcing jobs and giving American Tax subsidies to do so. He is all for Lobbyist gifting congress and lining his pockets with their "Gifts". If companies want outsource jobs why would we want subsidize them financially to do so with Taxes from people who will no longer be employed?

"Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations — entangling alliances with none." ~ Thomas Jefferson

Entangling Alliances with None

We wish not to meddle with the internal affairs of any country, nor with the general affairs of Europe.

Believing that the happiness of mankind is best promoted by the useful pursuits of peace, that on these alone a stable prosperity can be founded, that the evils of war are great in their endurance, and have a long reckoning for ages to come, I have used my best endeavors to keep our country uncommitted in the troubles which afflict Europe, and which assail us on every side.

A few questions for the Ron-Paul-bots:

Ron Paul (and his worshipers) insist that ONLY Dr. Paul follows and will follow the Constitution, yet Dr. Paul wants to eliminate the Dept. of Commerce. The Constitution directly states that Congress shall regulate commerce internationally as well as domestically. How the F are they gonna do that, by decree?

Ron Paul consistently says that the Income Tax (16th Amendment) is unconstitutional and needs to be abolished, yet ipso facto it IS Constitutional as it was correctly ratified. He can propose a Constitutional Amendment undoing it (a la Prohibition), but he can't claim it's unconstitutional without being a hypocrite [darn, cannot remember if that's supposed to be a or an, any word nazi's want to help here?]. Or, alternatively, does Dr. Paul only insist that certain parts of the Constitution are Constitutional?

There are numerous other questions along those lines but, since I won't get an answer, I might as well leave it there.

"The Department of Commerce, to my mind, has no legitimate Cabinet-level function. If there are legitimate functions of the federal government in the commerce area to assure free interstate commerce under the Commerce Clause, that could be handled either through the Department of Justice, assuring that the laws against infringing interstate commerce are appropriately enforced, or maybe by having a very much smaller Commerce Office."

As President, Ron Paul will support a Liberty Amendment to the Constitution to abolish the income and death taxes. And he will be proud to be the one who finally turns off the lights at the IRS for good.

Capital gains taxes, which punish you for success (and interfere with your efforts to hedge against inflation by purchasing gold and silver coins), should also be immediately repealed.

Struggling college students and those working to support their families would be greatly benefited and receive an immediate pay raise by eliminating taxes on tips.

As a congressman, Ron Paul has consistently endorsed legislation to let Americans claim more tax credits and deductions, including on educational costs, alternative energy vehicles, and health care. He also believes it is immoral to tax senior citizens twice by requiring them to include Social Security benefits in their gross income at tax time. A first step to eliminating that requirement would be to repeal the 1993 increase in taxes on Social Security benefits. Then we must abolish that tax entirely.

While a Flat Tax or a Fair Tax would each be a better alternative to the income tax system, Congressman Paul believes we would have to guarantee the 16^th Amendment is repealed to avoid having both the income tax and one of these systems as an additional tax.

But there is a better way. Restraining federal spending by enforcing the Constitution’s strict limits on the federal government’s power would help result in a 0% income tax rate for Americans.

The answer to spending and debt is to return to a constitutionally limited government that protects liberty – not one that keeps robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Arkansas wouldn't you just know...........where brother's and sister's often become mama and daddy.

I want to know that too. They don't even screw without an advance.

cons2p8ted Home Run!!! Damn you knocked the cover off that one. You hit it right on.

A delusional G Gordon Liddy reference....

Yes, I did say many liberals are dumb, and you go right out and prove my case. Thanks!

Now cons2p8ted, I need to throw the BS flag on you. As a PEW poll demonstrated (2007, I think) viewers of the Daily Show/Colbert Report (fake news, and proud of it) are among the best informed regarding current events. Faux News ranked *just* above GMA/Today, et al in "knowledge" of current events.

Please don't slander fake news.

Kathren I agree with you on everything but the Arkansas line. You know way to much about them. You think someone would said to JimBob, women aren't made to have that many kids. keep it in your pants. She has been pregnant for more than half her life. Don't think that hasn't affected her body.

If the woman was on welfare, you libs would be blubbering about her right to control her own body....and she can have as many nice young kids as she wants!

Yes she can have as many kids as she wants, but once they put those kids on tv, in front of millions of viewers, the viewer can have an opinion...beside they are basically selling their children's lives, not very noble in my opinion.

bob your right wing idiocy is just out of this world. I'm glad you rant on here. It allows normal to see how nuts the right is.

Smitty, I live in Oklahoma, incest and inbreeding is not unknown here either......
