Displaying 841 To 870 Of 2,320 Comments KQ-Read the article this morning and posted the same link below, the other one that did not get very much traction was stopping the oil company royalty waivers that the Dems brought forth last week, a revenue increase of $53 billion a year…seems like the Repugs want us only to know about the cuts their going to make and what CHARLIE says next! (ps: The oil company lobbyist saw this coming three weeks ago and started handing out money to 2012 campaigns to ensure this didn’t get through) » Posted By BigDogMom On March 2, 2011 @ 9:22 am House GOP votes unanimously to protect big oil subsidies: With Big Oil raking in record profits, House Democrats offered a Motion to Recommit to the House Republican short-term spending bill this afternoon making a responsible cut to the budget: putting an end to taxpayer-funded subsidies to large oil companies. Repealing these subsidies would save taxpayers tens of billions over the next decade and even ex-Shell CEO John Hofmeister agrees saying “with high oil prices, such subsidies are not necessary.” …Republicans voted unanimously against the motion, defeating it by a vote of 176-249. » Posted By BigDogMom On March 2, 2011 @ 7:06 am Morning Buddy, hope all is well with you…I just find it rather sad that they are showing the play by-play action of a human being in the middle of a mental breakdown. What has happened to us, to the media, that this is actually considered a must see for everyone? » Posted By BigDogMom On March 2, 2011 @ 6:16 am PW-My sister passes on to me from time to time all her People magazines, I have no idea who half these stars are and like you really don’t care. This Country’s facination with all this crap has got to be a form of escapism from the reality of what is actually happening to them on a day to day basis…let’s all stick our head in the sand and dream that one day we can be just like the stars in People magazine! » Posted By BigDogMom On March 2, 2011 @ 5:55 am OK, who’s tired of Charilie Sheen? I sure am…this must be what 2ndClass calls trainwreckaphelia by the media…meanwhile the Republicans continue to rape our Country. Oh wait, GMA is talking about Dancing with the Stars…here’s another must see news snipit…. “Squirrel”!!!!! » Posted By BigDogMom On March 2, 2011 @ 5:28 am Actually it’s true, saw it on WaPo and NYT this morning, apparently his spokesman is leaking Issa e-mails to a journalist who is writing a book on Mr. Issa….Mr. Issa is not taking too kindly to that, so he has decided to use the taxpayers money to investigate his staff. » Posted By BigDogMom On March 1, 2011 @ 10:05 am Has anyone told John “Dickhead” Boehner that siding against the Unions is not working for the GOP? And if the “Dickhead” wants a fight…we’re ready, bring it on asshat…. » Posted By BigDogMom On March 1, 2011 @ 10:01 am Evening 2ndClass, will e-mail you some of the things I did to save some money & time…great recipe for Chicken Pot Pie! » Posted By BigDogMom On February 26, 2011 @ 6:16 pm Congratulations! » Posted By BigDogMom On February 25, 2011 @ 4:17 pm Paul Krugman, NYT: Shock Doctrine, U.S.A. Here’s a thought: maybe Madison, Wis., isn’t Cairo after all. Maybe it’s Baghdad — specifically, Baghdad in 2003, when the Bush administration put Iraq under the rule of officials chosen for loyalty and political reliability rather than experience and competence. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/25/opinion/25krugman.html?_r=2&ref=opinion » Posted By BigDogMom On February 25, 2011 @ 5:45 am This is the GOP yelling “Squirrel”, so that we look elsewhere, at those “BAD, BAD TEACHERS” while they hand out tax breaks for the Corporations and wealthy in their State. » Posted By BigDogMom On February 24, 2011 @ 11:28 am HH, so sorry to hear that, praying for the people of NZ… 🙁 » Posted By BigDogMom On February 24, 2011 @ 11:24 am Our beloved deficit hawks, the Republicans, are at it again… Republicans as well as some what-can-they-possibly-be-thinking Democrats keep explaining how the government needs to pinch its pennies, even if that means cutting Head Start and other programs designed to help Americans not counted among the nation’s elite. But on Friday, the House of Representatives voted 251-174 against an amendment that would fix a flaw in deep-water oil leases on public land and increase royalty payments to the government. The failed amendment to the 2011 fiscal year spending bill was authored by Rep. Ed Markey (MA-07). Many deep-water leases entered into between 1996 and 2000 still contain the royalty waivers. But, as oil prices have risen significantly in subsequent years, such drilling is now commercially attractive even without royalty-free arrangements. The 24 companies involved have thus gained windfall profits. Indeed, this year alone, they’ll be raking in a handsome $1.5 billion extra as a result of waivers. A couple of years ago, it was only $1.3 billion. And the Government Accountability Office says the cost to the taxpayers over the next 25 years will be $53 billion. How many high-speed rail lines would that build? Geeze, with friends like this, who could go wrong? 👿 » Posted By BigDogMom On February 24, 2011 @ 8:19 am David, I don’t think Jesus would have given a rat’s ass either…isn’t that what Christianity was all about in it’s beginnings? Acceptance. Just saying… 😉 » Posted By BigDogMom On February 24, 2011 @ 7:46 am @Adonai-Every Time I type their name I misspell it, it comes out Kock, Freudian slip or what? 😆 » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 3:58 pm Good catch Abby: This was the beginning of a consolidation of power by the fascist regime which systematically wiped out all opposition groups, starting with unions, liberals, socialists, and communists using Himmler’s state police. For Walker, he will use the National Guard…if they don’t defect and go over to the Union side. » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 9:19 am @Sabreen-thanks for that, just read it, better than the audio…can we all say now that Walker has OVER REACHED! I hope he goes down with this, brings the Koch’s and all the other Governors he’s been “talking to” with him! 😛 » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 9:14 am @chase, what’s the pending comments number? 1,642,344,807? » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 9:01 am Walker’s crank call has made it all the way to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinal: http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/116737394.html » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 8:55 am Walker brought Wackenhut security into guard the courts in Milwaukee while he was Mayor. » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 8:54 am From David Corn’s, Mother Jones, twitter account: daveweigel To Scott Walker: If someone comes to your office dressed as a pimp and fiddling with a lapel camera, JUST WALK AWAY. 2 minutes ago via TweetDeck 😆 » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 8:44 am @boom….all walked into a bar, the steel worker said…. » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 8:42 am Did anyone watch the Ed Show last night? There was a segment where he interviewed three union workers from Wisconsin, a prison guard, a teacher and a steel worker. At the end of the interview, the prison employee said something I thought rather strange and he was very adamant to get this info out to the public. He stated that Walker ordered the National Guard to inspect the prisons TWO WEEKS prior to the bill to bust the Unions being introduced. The guard insisted that Ed follow up on this, he said he would, has anyone else seen anything on this? » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 8:36 am Morning cyrano, I find that very frustrating also, the WaPo and NYT is just now getting up to snuff on reporting this. » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 8:14 am Hey Abby & Foxy, things are speeding up now, THANK GOD. Hoping that this will go viral, the more the Kochs and their connection to this and other legislature comes out, the better off we all are. What’s that saying, “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.” » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 7:53 am Walker’s crank call, not sure if this is for real or not, but it is interesting: http://motherjones.com/mojo/2011/02/scott-walker-koch-brother-crank-call-wisconsin » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 6:50 am This is a little disturbing, look who they have working in the Wisconsin Atty. General’s office: Indiana Official: “Use Live Ammunition” Against Wisconsin Protesters On Saturday night, when Mother Jones staffers tweeted a report that riot police might soon sweep demonstrators out of the Wisconsin capitol building—something that didn’t end up happening—one Twitter user sent out a chilling public response: “Use live ammunition.” From my own Twitter account, I confronted the user, JCCentCom. He tweeted back that the demonstrators were “political enemies” and “thugs” who were “physically threatening legally elected officials.” In response to such behavior, he said, “You’re damned right I advocate deadly force.” He later called me a “typical leftist,” adding, “liberals hate police.” Only later did we realize that JCCentCom was a deputy attorney general for the state of Indiana. As one of 144 attorneys in that office, Jeff Cox has represented the people of his state for 10 years. And for much of that time, it turns out, he’s vented similar feelings on Twitter and on his blog, Pro Cynic…. » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 6:37 am What these two idjits fail to understand is that the majority of women in this Country NEED TO WORK, in order to put food on the table, and the Head Start program helps them to do just that. This is their way of social Darwinism, separating the wheat from the chaff, making it nearly impossible for anyone who sits on the poverty line of income to ever rise out of it. Right now my minds eye I see children out on the streets of major cities, bone thin, with distended stomachs from starvation…much like the photo’s taken of the Warsaw ghetto when the Nazi’s instituted their promgroms. » Posted By BigDogMom On February 23, 2011 @ 5:36 am Good Night all! Treat tonight, picking up dinner at the new “Five Guys Burger and Fries”! We don’t have that many chains here in my town, so this is a biggy, will let you know how bad it is! Peace all! 😎 » Posted By BigDogMom On February 22, 2011 @ 4:53 pm 2ndClass-And yes these are the people who hate the Government and all the people who leech off of it…and oh, yes, WANT THEIR COUNTRY BAAAAACCCCKKK!!!! 😮 » Posted By BigDogMom On February 22, 2011 @ 4:50 pmComments Posted By BigDogMom
Rep. William Keating (D-MA) offered the motion on the House floor saying “let’s stop sending taxpayers’ money to the most profitable companies in the world.”
