Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments Ted Cruzin’ For a Political Bruisin’ So much for their much vaunted “Fiscal Conservatism”, eh? **rolls eyes* I never give much (any?) merit into RepubliCon comments when it comes to fiscal matters. They have no problem criticizing Dems about fiscal matters; but, look the other way when it comes to THEIR spending or their proposed fiscal policies, or their ways of “governing”! How much money did they cost the US for their government shutdown(s)? How much money did they cost the US for their 50+ attempts to repeal ACA? How much money did Dubya’s Iraq debacle cost the US? Where is the 2 TRILLION that went “missing” from the Pentagon shortly before the Iraq War? Where are the BILLIONS sent to Iraq on pallets that went “missing” during the Dubya years? And nary a peep from Repubs on these items… yet they have the audacity to preach about fiscal responsibility? [I grow weary of their rhetoric and hypocritical BS] » Posted By UncleB On March 25, 2015 @ 4:34 pm What are the chances that the Repubs will bring up Cruz not being born in America, or his lack of legislative experience, or lack of business experience? You know, the kinds of things they had NO PROBLEM what-so-ever critiquing Pres. Obama about; even though Pres. Obama was born in Hawaii (ie. America), Sen. Obama had about the same legislative experience as Cruz, Sen. Obama DID pass several pieces of legislature with his name attributed to it (Cruz? None… to my recollection). The Right critiqued Pres. Obama about his religion; propagandizing doubt that he might be a Muslim. Jeez, is Cruz perhaps a Dominionist? Is this something the Right should be concerned about? *sarc* My opinion? The Repubs response to such will be “deafening silence”..!!! +++ I’m conflicted as to whether the Left should bring up these subjects like the Right continually, erroneously and obnoxiously did against Pres. Obama — JUST to point out their ignorance for doing such!!! At the very least we should call Ted Cruz by his true/legal name — RAFAEL CRUZ.! Repubs should have no problem with that “exotic” name… like they had no problem using Pres. Obama’s middle name — Hussein — when it suited them! Right, guys! *sarc* » Posted By UncleB On March 25, 2015 @ 2:26 pm The Grand Old Party of Sedition Well stated! Again/yet/still… showing what petty, petulent ign0rant a-holes the modern days RepubliCons in Congress are! Reading comments on other sites, two items often come up describing how these RepubliCons are guilty of violating… [1] The Logan Act [2] The 1936 Supreme Court case, United States v. Curtiss-Wright Export Corp The typical responses from the drones of the RepubliCons…? To which I could reply.. Really? How is that a true comparison? [b] Well, um, they are in their rights.. as per the Constitution? To which I could reply.. Yes… but, not quite! In my opinion, the Senate’s role is to “advise and consent” AFTER a negotiated deal has been drafted.

What You Read or View Matters, but Not Your Politics [Oct. 2008] — Fox News viewers overwhelmingly misinformed about health care reform proposals. [Aug. 2009] — Fox News Viewers Are The Most Misinformed: Study — Poll Also Finds Voters Were Misinformed on Key Issues “Those who watched Fox News almost daily were significantly more likely than those who never watched it to believe that most economists estimate the stimulus caused job losses (12 points more likely), most economists have estimated the health care law will worsen the deficit (31 points), the economy is getting worse (26 points), most scientists do not agree that climate change is occurring (30 points), the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts (14 points), their own income taxes have gone up (14 points), the auto bailout only occurred under Obama (13 points), when TARP came up for a vote most Republicans opposed it (12 points) and that it is not clear that Obama was born in the United States (31 points). The effect was also not simply a function of partisan bias, as people who voted Democratic and watched Fox News were also more likely to have such misinformation than those who did not watch it–though by a lesser margin than those who voted Republican. — Study: Fox News Viewers “Most Misinformed” Of All News Consumers (Updated) [Dec. 2010] — Fox News Viewers Know Less Than People Who Don’t Watch Any News: Study [Nov. 2011] — Study Finds Fox News Viewers Least Informed Of All Viewers [05/2012] : ( » Posted By UncleB On October 24, 2014 @ 10:24 am FOX “News” viewers… misinformed? As D. Rumsfeld might say, that’s a “KNOWN known”!!! While I can provide documentation of their perpetual misinformed state prior to 2008 (and probably will in a subsequent posting), viewers turned to FOX and increased their ratings dramatically AFTER 2008. I wonder why (hmm). As per this article (of 2009): “Fox News’ viewership is up 45% over the last year, and it’s easy to see why: The ascendancy of a charismatic black Democrat has driven frightened, paranoid, enraged, nativist zealots into the ideological embrace of an outlet that habitually reconfirms everything they already believe…Tuning into Hannity et.al. becomes a life-affirming political act.” This sounds very SIMILAR to people who flocked to religious services after 911…! http://www.religioustolerance.org/rel_rate.htm “There was a surge in church attendance after the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington on 2001-SEP-11. Some religious leaders predicted that the phenomenon would be short lived..” (it was; it lasted 2 months). “Bringing about one of the greatest spiritual revivals in the history of America…People are turning to God. The churches are full.” “…When people face such a tragic and horrible event, they need comfort, they need community, they need to relate to their God and their traditions, and try to find a way to get through the pain. Once I think people got past some of the initial shock and difficulties, they started to get back to how it was before.” It appears that the GOP losses years ago hit them harder than expected.

Who in their right mind would willfully submit themselves to the continual pressures of being the President of the USA? Whether a politician’s initial motives to pursue such an endeavor are based solely on ego (power trip?) or a true concern for their fellow Americans, such people must have deep-seeded masochistic tendencies (unbeknownst to them?).

Surprisingly, he’s very accepting of most of what I’ve “exposed” him to. He’s a music enthusiast. He currently plays guitar (very well) in a small garage band in his town. He absolutely LOVES Pink Floyd. He can play almost ANY Pink Floyd song — on demand! I’d often playfully quiz him on “classic rock” songs/artists whenever I heard such songs play on the radio.

Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry
I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry
She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It’s interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody’s pie
Love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry
When it’s said and done, we haven’t told you a thing
We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry
— We have students (and some teachers) who find it ACCEPTABLE to cheat on tests. [I’m like “Huh?”]
