Displaying 1,621 To 1,650 Of 2,133 Comments The TeaPublican’s propensity for college dropouts is obvious. Not only are their media leaders college drop outs (any and all of ‘em), but their political leaders are too (as Karl Rove, that bastion of thuggery demonstrated so well). While I would never suggest one must have a college degree in order to run for any office, I would suggest that it would be a good thing to have. We are, after all, attempting to have the cream rise to the top, no? Our leaders are supposed to be role models for our children, right? Don’t tell anyone, but it’s the Republicans who keep claiming they are for a meritocracy (“if you lazy liberals want something, come and work for it like we do”) and yet in reality, they are running and winning the race to the bottom. Republicans want a free market and yet they want handicaps for their candidates: We are supposed to lower the bar for Sarah Palin who doesn’t read, for Christine O’Donnell who doesn’t read and cheats on her campaign finances, for Jan Brewer who never went to college and can’t manage a budget without murdering people, and for Scott Walker who doesn’t know what he doesn’t know about his own state constitution and laws. See, that’s the thing about ignorant people, they make great puppets. Scott is busy violating his state constitution by attempting to unilaterally revoke some unions collective bargaining powers while leaving others in place, and clearly violating the contractual agreement between the state and the workers and since he’s already made an epic clown of himself making this mistake last year (and just last month got spanked with a huge financial hit for it but who cares since the state has to pay for Scotty’s mistake), one has to ask if he is stupid or evil. Or is he just stupid for evil? Uh huh. He’s stupid for evil. He’s a Koch sucking fool. A puppet. The TeaPublicans get away with having college drop out scoundrels on their tickets by playing offense with the media about “liberal elites”. But the truth is that the malignant narcissism displayed in their candidates is a problem. They draw ignorant, power hungry people with no grasp of the damage they can inflict because of their own ignorance. They draw people like Christine O’Donnell, Sarah Palin and Scott Walker- people who play fast and loose with the law because they are ignorant enough to believe they are fit to be dictators. You truly have to be ignorant to think that you can and should be allowed to do whatever you please. A wise person knows to avoid unilateral decision making, especially in a democracy set up with checks and balances for a reason. But none of these TeaPublicans understand the reasons for these power speed bumps, because they have chosen to remain ignorant enough to plow confidently over things like the constitution. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 9, 2011 @ 2:25 pm http://www.politicususa.com/en/scott-walker-dirty-illegal-campaigningScott Walker’s History of Dirty Tactics and Illegal Campaigning We already know that Scott Walker made a costly mistake last year in Milwaukee when he fired union security guards, but is that all? Or is Scott a serial offender and repeater the George W Bush belief that “anything goes so long as I get my way”? Little Scotty is indeed a serial offender, it turns out. And just as guilty of being a failure in the free market of education and ideas as W as well. But you already figured that, since he’s a Tea Party candidate. And what do they stand for if not ignorance combined with aggressively stupid power grabs better belonging to a dictatorship than a democratic republic like America. Scott is so comfy down in the mud and dirt that he doesn’t seem to have an off button. Scott was found guilty of illegal campaigning while in college and the local paper, that had previously been neutral, finally declared Scotty “unfit for Presidency.” The Marquette Tribune reported last fall: Walker attended Marquette from 1986 t0 1990, but never attained a degree (see page 5). His sophomore year, Walker ran for president of the Associated Students of Marquette University (ASMU, the former title for Marquette Student Government). He was accused of violating campaign guidelines on multiple occasions. The Tribune reported then that he was found guilty of illegal campaigning two weeks before his candidacy became official. Later, a Walker campaign worker was seen placing brochures under doors at the YMCA. Door-to-door campaigning was strictly prohibited. In the run-up to Election Day, the Tribune’s editorial board endorsed Walker’s opponent John Quigley, but said either candidate had the potential to serve effectively. However, the Tribune revised its editorial the following day, calling Walker “unfit for presidency.” A pause while we wonder just what kind of person is so ambitious, so malevolent, so Machiavellian ends-justify-the-means type that they repeatedly campaign illegally in college. If a person starts cheating so maliciously in college that they are called “unfit” for the job they seek when the stakes are basically nothing compared to a state wide or national fight, it’s safe to conclude that they are already the dredges of ethics in politics. Lucky for Scott, this inability to operate in an ethical manner makes him a star in the modern Republican Party. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 9, 2011 @ 2:23 pm @BDM…I was disturbed by that…which is why I shared the whole thing including the poll results and comments. Oy vay! What is wrong with our country? » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 9, 2011 @ 1:25 pm Extremely well said! I, too am in the 22 percent. I think this reeks of McCarthyism. I just don’t like the tone of the whole thing nor that there is so much support! My goodness, haven’t we been down this road before? Lastly, has everyone forgotten TIM MCVEIGH???? He wasn’t Muslim. BUT yet he and his pals perpetrated a horrific act of Terrorism on domestic soil. And what about those ‘pro lifers’ who shoot doctors? Is that not terrorism? Domestic terrorists are a problem…yet we do nothing about that, or increasing education so that we don’t have such crap going on. UGH! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 9, 2011 @ 1:24 pm @BDM…I certainly hope you are right! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 9, 2011 @ 1:15 pm @Truth…I too am disgusted. This is ridiculous. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 9, 2011 @ 9:02 am So what does everyone HERE think of this: ‘Islamic radicalization’ hearing stirs hornets’ nest “But the plan to hold hearings on the danger posed by radical Islam in the United States has inspired protest, counterprotest, debate, editorials, petitions and even pray-ins, before the first witness takes the stand. ” I included the MSNBC on line poll and the results, as well as the comments from readers for a reason. They paint an interesting picture about this story. I was just wondering what the good people here, felt about this subject. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 9, 2011 @ 8:42 am @nana…it’s a pleasure to have you aboard! 🙂 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 9, 2011 @ 8:04 am @Redemption song, I truly appreciated reading your lengthy but well thought our replies on this subject.

I just looked up pictures of the place…WOW. WOW. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 8, 2011 @ 8:24 pm It is very scary indeed! {Sigh} » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 8, 2011 @ 4:41 pm I’m having a real hard time understanding the controversy around this one…if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck…for goodness sake…it’s a duck! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 8, 2011 @ 4:01 pm Oh maybe that was what was implying! silly me! I just thought one would normally THINK to do that..seems like it would have been a prudent action…but than again…look who WE are talking about!

I am sure you are right about others ability to make the system ‘work’ for them. This judge seemed a tad out to lunch! I got divorced in the same system and same court house and my experience was SO totally different than this one. I was in the same position, making more than my ex (my children’s father) and the system was so different, they didn’t grant me anything! Seriously, because I made so much more than my ex…they didn’t want to make HIM a ward of the state! So they didn’t make him pay much in child support AT all! Thanks I will request your email from Ad lib! Thanks again! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 6, 2011 @ 3:40 pm No kidding! WHAT was I thinking?????? 🙂 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 6, 2011 @ 2:28 pm I like it jkk! I really like it! Now you know WHY I’ve been so miserable as of late! Yes, I have a case of the vapors. Oh and on a rather selfish note…the room that the girl will be occupying, I just finished remodeling just before Christmas. I had made into MY home office/retreat. Oh well…I had it for a couple of months. I guess that is something. 🙁 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 6, 2011 @ 2:25 pm Thanks boomer. I swear she has no conscience! She is very vindictive and the IRONY is she is the one who cheated with the young guy…it’s TRULY Jerry Springer….It was her husband’s baby sister’s boyfriend, who was a protege of her husbands…its rather yuck. No new attorney, because the guy who took over the practice, was much more expensive than was our old attorney. So we are shopping for one…we DID try a change in venue and the court wouldn’t allow it…much corruption in the system! Unfortunately. Old boys network…you know. I actually feel sorry for the kid. She’s been moving in all day. I don’t know if I’m ready for this! But it’s the right thing to do, I think. SO, now I will have TWO 20 year old girls in the house. And 20 IS the new 15! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 6, 2011 @ 1:58 pm That pretty much summed it up A….I don’t watch it often anymore either…because I don’t like Gregory. But I had the TV on in the background when the show came on…and I heard the inanity! Gosh that woman is an idiot! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 6, 2011 @ 1:00 pm SO today, the man’s daughter is moving in with us, as her mother kicked her out. NOW, the girl is 20. Child support is payable while she is in school until she turns 21. Evidently she has been living on and off OUT of her mother’s house for the last two years…although the mother has taken the father to court NUMEROUS times during the time her daughter was NOT living with her, for additional child support. Now please note, the woman makes a good buck….double the average for the region AND almost 2/3 MORE than the man in this case. As a matter of fact, the reason he got behind on child support was because the restaurant he worked for, CLOSED due to the economy, and it took a while for him to find a decent job.(The court WOULD hear none of it…they said that was an ‘excuse’….I was sitting in court with my jaw dropping as the Judge said the economy wasn’t a factor!) The ex- has a GREAT state job and works for family court (SHE is the secretary I bitch about). And has used her contacts in the court system to make sure everything ALWAYS goes in her favor. SHE has lied in court numerous times and the court has ALWAYS sided with her(regardless how much proof we or our lawyers have submitted) …so much so that my fiance barely takes home enough to live. Seriously…if you all saw his take home pay you would be sick. I know I am…so basically I have to subsidize him and his child support in order for him to survive. HOW is this right? NOW the bitch has kicked the kid out, without really a good reason AND it’s highly unlikely, based on past experience, that we will make much headway in court, getting the child support lowered or adjusted. Our attorney was Flabbergasted at what has gone on in this case. (Sadly he passed away last year…so…She took advantage of that too). The kid isn’t a bad kid, she is just ridiculously spoiled. AND who’s fault is that? She’s not into drugs or drinking or even screwing around. She is just childish and irresponsible. WHICH considering how she was raised is not surprising. SO WHY is this bitch kicking her out? I have my suspicions that it has something to do with her boyfriend, who is 15 years HER junior and whom she plays sugar mommy to…SO, basically the WHOLE friggin clusterfuck is playing out and I have very little control over this situation that his woman is creating. THE drama and disfunction of this WHOLE situation is insane. If you all only knew the 1/.2 of the shenanigans this woman has pulled….it’s like living in Friggin’ Jerry Springer episode! If I told you all the details….you would be appalled. I mean really…totally JERRY Springer! How the hell, did I get into this mess????? » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 6, 2011 @ 12:58 pm Seriously, I can not decide which one of the two brunette bimbo twins with different mothers, is worse….Michelle “Batchit Crazy” Bachmann or Sarah “Fallin” Palin. They both need to go away! Did everyone see that Bachmann interview on Meet the Press? » Posted By Abbyrose86 On March 6, 2011 @ 12:32 pmComments Posted By Abbyrose86
Walker initially denied this but later admitted to the violation, which resulted in lost campaign privileges at the YMCA.

Inquiry by congressional committee looks like inquisition to many Muslims
Color me crazy…but shouldn’t WALKER have checked with legal council BEFORE embarking on such a campaign?
