TAKE ACTION: Suggest and Support Petitions For The Obama Admin to Review

CL, absolutely! You are right! This is an IRS matter. Somehow, I don’t differentiate between them and “the government”…all the same when they’re coming after you! 🙂

We did miss you, BTW! It was damned dull without you here! 🙂

I was #4…I am so excited! Everybody, spread the word!

Adonai, what a huge waste of money! One talking head put it best a few days ago…”What do they expect..WW2 to break out all over again?” We don’t need 700+ bases around the world, costing us billions! Great idea!

Adlib, good morning! I’ll keep this short and sweet…voter suppression! Nothing could be more important overall! I wrote Atdnext below that we only have 400 days before the next election. That’s not much time to get this thing turned around! We need DoJ to move as quickly as possible!

Atdnext, I would agree that this is the TOP priority right now! We only have about 400 days until the next election and there is very little time left to turn this thing around. It’s been plain as the nose on your face what they are trying to do. In fact, they don’t even try to hide it!

AMEN! CL, you hit the nail on the head as far as I’m concerned! You have my vote! It’s not bad enough that corporations were able to off-shore their operations, but the government has given them billions to do it! What’s wrong with this picture??? Oh, I forgot…it’s those “free market principles” that the repubs talk about so often! Snark!!

Hi funk! I really like your suggestion on NAFTA and CAFTA that have hurt our economy probably more than anything else. The drain of jobs and capital from our country has been going on for years. I also like Choicelady’s comments about this subject. Besides a big “re-do” on the agreements, we definitely need to stop subsidizing the outsourcing that has happened as a result of these two acts. It really is one big issue and one that has been a thorn in my side for a long time! I would definitely sign on!

De-annexing Texas! Now there’s a million-dollar suggestion! I like it! While they’re at it, why don’t they take Oklahoma with them?? 🙂

Choice, it’s so good to see you here this morning! I knew we could count on you to keep us on the right track! 🙂

While I definitely agree with you on the “politics from the pulpit” issue, I’m hopeful the DoJ will just enforce the laws that are on the books without our having to petition them to do so. That’s certainly not to say that this is an excellent suggestion for them to consider. This is one of those subjects that simply slips through the cracks with so many other issues on the front page these days which may be the best reason to petition. Too bad they have to be reminded to uphold the law! Good suggestion!

Hidden Democrats

Hey jj! I am a proud card-carrying Democrat from a southern state, North Carolina…which, I might add, went BLUE for the President! I remember when I was much younger, my grandparents were registered Democrats so that they could vote in the Dem primary. There were no repub primaries in those days. Lots of people were in the same boat. However, there is no doubt about people switching parties after the Civil Rights law was signed.

We Dems are standing strong and fighting every step of the way. The last mid-terms didn’t do us much good with a repub takeover of the state legislature, but we do have a strong Dem governor, Bev Purdue, who is not hesitant to use her veto pen.

As for the rest of the south, they will need all the luck they can get if the Dems are going to have any success.

LIVE BLOG – GOP Debate in FL

Artist, you got it! Is that really his GPA??? Oh my god!

I remember The Village Idiot bragging about a “C student” running the country! I would just about bet his GPA was higher than this!

Bito, thanks for the tip. I am still so technologically challenged! 🙂

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 23, 2011 @ 1:51 pm

Bito, thanks for posting. I will have to get a magnifying glass to go back and read the White House reforms. The type is so tiny and I can’t figure out how to zoom it in on my ‘puter.

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 23, 2011 @ 1:36 pm

Bito, it’s that same ol’ “librul press”, don’t ya’ know! 🙂

I saw the speech live and as usual, he was great. He nailed Congress for not doing anything.

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 23, 2011 @ 1:32 pm

Oh Patsy, thank you! I think I will! LMAO 🙂

Hang around for a while and I’ll tell you how I REALLY feel!

Adlib, You better believe we are going to have to work hard! One thing though…today’s inaction in Congress (to keep the govt. open and running) is showing the American people, once again, what the GOP/TP stand for, and it ain’t the people! I just hope that when the debt ceiling thing went down and woke up the people, that they stayed awake! We do seem to have a very short attention span!

I would slightly disagree with you on the questions from FUX. I thought there were some pretty good ones that I really didn’t expect from them. The first that comes to mind is the question by the student on video about Obamacare and whether they would kick the students off their insurance plans by repealing it. As I remember it, none of them really answered the question.

The other one was about DADT from the gay soldier. I’m rather surprised that they let this one through. Santorum gathered up all his righteous indignation to insist that troops should NOT HAVE SEX at all! Yeah…that’s really going to work out well! LMAO

One thing about these debates is that there is virtually NO follow-up. The candidates get up and make their talking points, and then it’s just left hanging in the ether! Oh well, at least there is only ONE more of these damn silly things.

I’m still gobsmacked by Michelle’s statement…”Thomas Jefferson was the author of that religious liberty that he loved so much.”
WTF??? What exactly does that mean?? And the other thing that stands out was her comment about “grabbing that brass ring of liberty”! Oh GAG!!

Not to worry…I had my Maalox cocktail ready! 🙂

Bito, I thought I remembered the same thing. What does the repub party have against the Department of Education? The graph they showed last night indicated that 47% of repubs would cut DoED over anything else. When our students are doing so poorly when compared to other countries, what is it that they object to?

I did watch the President this morning when he talked about the “No Child” BS that the Bushies did. He chided Congress for not acting to change things and said that since they could not act, he would. That’s my Prez!! Love it!

Hi Patsy! I would hate for you to waste your energy! 🙂

Our comments might have been “kick ass” but the debate certainly was NOT! Perry was pathetic! He looked like he would rather be sliding down a razor blade into a vat of alcohol than to be on that stage! Uncomfortable is not the word! If he’s not careful, he’s going to lose this thing to Romney. IMO, that would be sad…I think Mittens is much more dangerous to President Obama than Perry is. At least Mitt can answer a question without stumbling all over his own feet!

Sorry, I didn’t mean to get on a roll. 🙂

Kalima, that’s too bad that you can’t visit home. I guess it’s a long trip from Tokyo. Are you able to go back at all?

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 22, 2011 @ 8:26 pm

Hi Sabreen, you really didn’t miss anything. Sorry about your stomach! I feel your pain, but I was able to tough it out for the last half-hour! 🙂 Maalox and Tums…work wonders!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 22, 2011 @ 8:12 pm

The bottom line on this is the same as last time…there was absolutely nothing new. It was the same old talking points, and a few jabs at each other.

I thought Perry looked weak and somewhat confused at times. Romney seemed strong and sure of his answers for the most part. Ron Paul got a pretty big ovation from the crowd. Bachmann needs to just take her “brass ring of liberty” and go away!

🙂

Kalima, what dedication! We are indebted to you for the MB and your self-discipline! 🙂

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 22, 2011 @ 7:55 pm

Final question…oh thank God!

Who would you choose among candidates to be your running mate?
Johnson…Ron Paul
Santorum…sidestep to Newt
Newt…no idea, they’re all good friends of mine
Paul…no choice, it’s inappropriate
Perry…a Combo of Caine and Newt
Romney…all these people would be better than our current Pres.
Bachmann…strong Constitutional Conservative blah blah blah
Caine…would choose Romney if he will do the 999 plan..or Newt
Huntsman…chooses Caine for his tie

Oh that was totally weak and I’m completely nauseated!

Now, can I be excused??

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 22, 2011 @ 7:52 pm

Johnson: Who??? Balance budget now!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 22, 2011 @ 7:43 pm

Santorum: REAGAN…blah blah blah blah!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 22, 2011 @ 7:42 pm

Newt: recalling 30 years ago! Doesn’t he realize how old that makes him seem?

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 22, 2011 @ 7:41 pm

Romney, playing the same damn patriot card!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 22, 2011 @ 7:39 pm

Bachmann: “Reach for that brass ring of liberty”….Oh my god, this woman is so damned dumb!!!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 22, 2011 @ 7:38 pm

Really bito, it’s really obvious that he’s lost when he has to come up with an extemporaneous answer.

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 22, 2011 @ 7:37 pm

Kalima, you are the lucky one tonight! It’s really gettin’ deep in here!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On September 22, 2011 @ 7:36 pm

But..but…but Jefferson??
