I remember we had that discussion a while ago about the troops in Japan and Germany. I wonder if the troops in S.Korea are also there under a treaty. If not a bilateral treaty but also as the US being a signer on the UN “cease fire” agreement. » Posted By bito On September 25, 2011 @ 1:36 pm Some excellent history on voter suppression: » Posted By bito On September 25, 2011 @ 1:26 pm The bases in Japan and Germany are part of the treaties signed ending WWII and both countries actually pay the US for the bases. Can the troops be vastly reduced without an act of congress, probably but to change the treaties would take an act of congress and the respective governments. » Posted By bito On September 25, 2011 @ 12:51 pm Latest “We the People” petition.

True as Will Rodgers said: I don’t belong to an organized party, I’m a Democrat” but with ‘prag-progs’ yelling at ’emo-progs’ and both of them yelling at ‘blue dogs’, how do we expect to elect Dems? Dems may be the the “big tent” party, but with this very important election in 2012, we need to get in that tent and start sharing our popcorn and stop bickering about the person next to us got more melted butter. Not if we want to see any progress and face more regression.

What else did he do besides raise taxes, grow government and tax and immigration reform? I had forgotten about this site: The Sad Legacy of Ronald Reagan http://mises.org/freemarket_detail.aspx?control=488 From the Ludwig von Mises Institute, a libertarian/ Austrian School of Economics site. They considered President Reagan close to a liberal and he certainty wouldn’t fit in with this crop of GOP candidates. One thing that jogged my memory was remembering that Reagan was the first GOP candidate to run on dissolving the Dept. of Education and every R since then has run on it. » Posted By bito On September 23, 2011 @ 10:41 am Em, I’m exhausted and I didn’t even watch it. 🙂 » Posted By bito On September 22, 2011 @ 7:58 pm thinkprogress ThinkProgress LarrySabato Larry Sabato » Posted By bito On September 22, 2011 @ 7:53 pm daveweigel daveweigel digby56 digby » Posted By bito On September 22, 2011 @ 7:45 pm Em, that’s what they are saying on twitter.

H/T Kalima.
(been busy fighting my ‘puter and email.)
I have lived, worked and been active in Union and Dem. activities in many states and regions. A conservative Dem from the Northeast is a “flaming Librul” in the South. I have had conservative Dems as Reps and my Rep now is a dreaded “Blue Dog.” I would rather have them, when they vote for Dem proposals 75%-80% of the time as opposed to the alternative of an R voting 75%-80% for their (R) proposals.
” I always vote for the best person, they just happen to be all Dems.”
” He may be an idiot, but he’s our idiot.”

Bachmann says Obama has the lowest presidential approval rating of any president in modern times. Apparently can’t remember George Bush.
by mattyglesias
Bachmann goof: Obama has lowest ratings of any modern POTUS. Correct if you exclude LBJ,Nixon,Ford,Carter,Reagan,Bush,Clinton & Bush.
“To rebuild the economy, Jimmy Carter sucked.” #googledebate
How come Republicans can run against Jimmy Carter for 30 years but Democrats can’t mention the words George W. Bush?

The hater moment of #GOPdebate – audience boos gay soldier serving in Iraq. Ironic the question went to man on dog Santorum
Dear Santorum: You should have started by THANKING that soldier for his service. Period.
Santorum just gave Huntsman the “are you freaking kidding me” look. #gopdebate #debatethefix
Huntsman goes after Santorum. Daring strategic move. #GOPdebate
Fireworks on the bottom.
“Since Bush was right to invade Iraq, cuz Saddam is gone, isn’t Obama right on Libya, since Ghadaffi’s gone?”
How many Q’s on jobs have been asked and answered? #gopdebate
Has Romney not been watching the UN this week? If that’s throwing Israeli under the bus, Bibi wants more buses. #GOPdebate

This Santorum guy is really punchy. I’m going to google his name to learn about him. OH GOD NO #googledebate
Perry said we need to “put our aviation assets on the ground” to secure the border. Not sure how that works.
