Displaying 6,931 To 6,960 Of 7,446 Comments This is Hairyanna’s history, when she perceives a slight, she gets revenge. She tried it with Arnold and I would bet money someone in the DEm party has slighted her. So she is getting even with her best tool, PuffHo. Or it was her plan all along, act like a progressive populist and work behind the scenes with your right wing cronies. Otherwise she would do something with all that mess in her comments section. Someone going to that site for the first time must surely be shocked at the vitriol in the comments section, or the eHarmoney matchups going on between commenters. It is like a high school popularity contest going on over there. » Posted By SueInCa On January 28, 2010 @ 12:42 pm Tiger » Posted By SueInCa On January 28, 2010 @ 8:02 pm Cher, what you have expressed has been eating at me for weeks. I have disagreements with the President, but he is still the man I want in the hot seat. BUT, you are right, the left/mid-left/centrist has allowed the GOP to take over the conversation in this country. I do know where I stand on the political sphere, when it comes to fiscal responsibility, I am centrist, when it comes to social responsibility I am at the far left. When it comes to crime, I am probably a little to the right with the exception of the death penalty and our revolving door prisons. I believe in doing the time, but when it is done, a second chance is appropriate. I am not sure where the “grassroots” excitement went after the election, but it faded with the exception of a flare up every now and then. One thing for sure is that Tim Kaine needs to get out there and start doing his job. He is the Chairman of the Dem party and no one has seen much of him all year long. If being governor and the head of the party was too much for him, he should have stepped aside and let someone else take the reins. Big mistake on the part of the party. Even though Michael Steele is an idiot, he is out there generating publicity and helping the GOP to have their voices heard. We may think it is negative, but show me any republican in office, even under a scandal, that is camera shy. They act like it is nothing, and I always say, they would rather tell a bald faced lie and do a mea cupla afterwards because they know the lie will stick. Truth is not one of their strong points. With that said, I don’t truly believe the republican base is strong enough to win a major election right now. In three years, maybe but I still think reminders of the 8 years of horror are going to hamper any republican opponent. If they win this year and continue to stand in the way of progress, that will be noted as well. People will remember. Because nothing will get done and the middle class will be where they are right now. They do not have the answers and they know it. It will be interesting to see how dems run against them. » Posted By SueInCa On January 28, 2010 @ 4:04 pm What would you like to hear in the State of the Union? I want him to say the HCR is going to be passed, that a jobs package is going to be implemented and when, that republicans “LIE” and that he is now the decider. If he cannot say those things then announce drastic cuts to medicare/medicaid because hell who wants socialist medical care? Also cut the tax breaks that are given to employers and employees on their health care premiums. If everyone cannot have health care then no one should have health care. What would all those high priced docs do when faced with trying to collect on the full amount of their bill? What will the insurance companies do when they no longer have customers? And what will all the hucksters do when they can no longer defraud medicare and medicaid? And of course I know he won’t and I probably do not want that to happen, I just wonder how people would react when it is their healthcare insurance at risk? Would they be screaming at town halls? would congress get the green light to go ahead? » Posted By SueInCa On January 26, 2010 @ 6:41 pm Rashomon 6: Ten views of Obama’s budget freeze Fake News, What i described above will bring a fresh taste or truth to the network LOL.

Pu-LEEZE! I just made this comment over there, watch it be scrubbed LOL Exactly how long do you think MsA would last living like the middle class? She is now the voice of the middle class? Give me a fr3@king break. Where was all her whining when Bushco was destr0ying the middle class? » Posted By SueInCa On January 25, 2010 @ 6:25 pm OK Kevin I gotta say you got balls, going up against the guy it seems everyone else fears? Hopefully it will wake up the others in your group. Sometimes I think Dems are too quiet/reserved. You know that term the “liberal elite”? i think we get that nickname because we are more thoughtful. Think about it, the right will just say it, it does not matter if it is true because the original people who heard it are probably not going to hear the mea culpa that come later. If he says stuff like that to your group, you know he is saying it in public as well. Personally I think the National Party has fallen down on the job as well. What exactly is Tim Kaine doing? You hear Michael Steele all the time, we never hear from Kaine. » Posted By SueInCa On January 25, 2010 @ 6:07 pm Actually, Maher started this bashing quite soon after Obama took office. I can take some well placed satire, jokes etc but he has a vicious side to him that turned me off. We cancelled that tier on our satellite dish because I no longer wanted to pay to hear him blab on. Not sure what happened to him but for him to long for the Bushco days? As my grandson would say, “that’s just not right, nana”. » Posted By SueInCa On January 25, 2010 @ 5:48 pm Elizabeth Warren Goes to Washington I saw that, fascinating and no one would listen. » Posted By SueInCa On January 26, 2010 @ 7:29 pm Hello All And a big welcome to Kirk. My main interest is in the financial side of things or court decisions and rulings. I also like doing the research for most anything. While I want reform passed, I am not as well versed as say someone like Cher on the healthcare issue/bill. I am also interested in the criminal/fraud stories/issues. I also like doing research and reporting or writing op eds on the religious right. I find the things they have gotten away with to date and are still doing fascinating in that most people are concerned with the Masons, CFR, Bilderbergs and Illuminati stories rather than a not so well kept secret from the religious right and their Dominionist policies. Personally I find that far more agregious as I have seen the religious right in action personally. » Posted By SueInCa On January 25, 2010 @ 5:44 pm One other thing Nellie. On China we might give them a scenario….should the multinational corp decide to start moving back to the US it could seriously impact the US deficit of which China is guaranteeing a good chunk. The Chinese could call that loan and bankrupt the US Govt making it easier for the corp to take control. Geez, now I sound like one of those woo woo’s LOL. But after reading how the right plans world domination, it is probably right on the mark. » Posted By SueInCa On January 23, 2010 @ 10:22 am disregard the without public limits and just go on to the paragraph below. i did not edit very good LOL, but form in that paragraph should be from. spellcheck would not catch that one. » Posted By SueInCa On January 23, 2010 @ 10:14 am Nellie – Great idea, here are some of my thoughts………..

Satire, I can do and I can put together a mean piece of jewelry lickedy split but this writing for humor/enjoyment is beyond me. I truly enjoy your posts. PS – the ending was beautiful LOL » Posted By SueInCa On January 22, 2010 @ 10:46 am That is my thought too Nellie. It will not matter if the ads are true or not. They will air them and if caught will come back with a meager mea culpa. People will see the original ad but not the apology/admission of the truth. The right does this all the time. They find it easier to say a quick “i’m sorry” in an aside knowing whatever false tale they put out there will hold water with the ones who do not hear the apology or choose to believe they were somehow forced to make that admission. Look at the emails still claiming Obama is a muslim, not a citizen etc etc. Somewhere they lost the context of reality and and do not seem to be in a hurry to find it again. » Posted By SueInCa On January 22, 2010 @ 10:40 am Hey Adlib I know you and the others have alot on your plate so anything I can do to help, just ask.

If my grandson was not here and still so young, I would be moving to ST Thomas, St John or Cabo. I mean none of those places could be any worse, right? Canada would be too cold for me. I even thought about American Samoa, to live a real simple life which is harder and harder to do here. Cher, hope you get well(I too have the “cough due to cold” as Forrest would say. » Posted By SueInCa On January 21, 2010 @ 1:54 pm The state of unemployment funds by state. Some states are insolvent now and others are borrowing from the fed gov and the scotus comes up with this doozy decision in the midst of all the pain in this country…………….. http://projects.propublica.org/unemployment/ » Posted By SueInCa On January 21, 2010 @ 12:09 pm “I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.” » Posted By SueInCa On January 21, 2010 @ 9:30 am Now you can see why the religious right believe the SCOTUS is more important than the WH. The WH is important to them to have a puppet who will do their bidding, but the SC can affect laws. Over and over in my reading on this subject they talk about stacking the supreme court as very important in their agenda. Not only does it affect financial law, campaign law, but also moral issues. They will work to overturn Roe v Wade and any pro-gay laws through the supreme court. Watch and be wary. Where is the left? We have all these separate groups, but no one is working together. Their is strength in numbers which the right have figured out, why can’t we? They do not even have to make sense, as long as they are loud. » Posted By SueInCa On January 21, 2010 @ 9:26 am Fundraising and Membership Drive – Winter 2010 No worries, it is not much but every bit helps.

He did inherit the two wars and while I do not agree with the escalation in Afghanistan, I can see the reason for doing so. The Taliban are still harboring Al Queda and working with them. Bush let A go to hell in a handbasket while they cleaned out Iraq and filled the industrial military contractors pockets. The bidding for those contractors has now changed. No more no bid contracts will be awarded.
I will help wherever needed and I hope I have given you enough to make a decision. I have opportunities at anytime to write a piece here so actually penning the op-ed isn’t a high priority for me, unless of course, it is my idea.

Time for action indeed. I like all the ideas you presented except for the ballot initiative. With all of us coming from different states that would be a very difficult thing to do. I would suggest a section of the site titled “call for action” or “take action” where this type of endeavor can be housed. That way people coming to the site will see a link and could go directly to it.
What is Torches and Pitchforks? I remember Colbert doing a sketch on it, but not sure what it is.
It was inevitable don’t you think? The morals of this country have been under attack from within for a long time now.
Alpha get stronger and Nellie just try to have a good day.
