FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

It seems this Congress has the honor of being that in which Americans have less confidence than any other "august body" since Gallup began polling this in 1973.

Shocking!!

 

Who? How much? And please provide the link between policy and their desire to make money. Thanks.

 

Well I'm sure convinced. "Some politicians" who "call themselves" conservatives ... yep, that about sums it up!

An insult would be something along the lines of, "Run along, sonny ... we're doing grown-up talk now." But I don't insult. So I'll just point out -- for, I don't know, something like the 6,245th time -- that you obviously don't know what you're trying to talk about.

 

Did you actually read that link?

In other words, Pennsylvania Republicans' disenfranchisement strategy is working exactly as intended.

 

If you watch the video, there are scenes of dozens of kids walking right by the petitioner without even turning their head. They count.

It's rather likely that, in the span of 45 minutes, more than 1,000 kids walked by there.

Beyond that...you're a journalist, yes? You think a bullshit stunt like this is good journalism?

 

Did you catch his subtle goalpost shift?

First, social workers were getting "rich" and then it was they make "good" money.

 

Slinky's going to sniff Spinoza's ass the way he sniffed Asrael's.

 

It all comes back to Congress, doesn't it?

 

Until Obama signs their shit legislation thereby ensuring an even more corrupt Washington.

 

And for the 6,246th time, you do it without backing it up with anything.

Hey, here's another one who thinks conservatism means "every man for himself"

Heck, do a Google search of "Conservative" and "Every Man for Himself: You can go two pages easily without breaking a sweat.

 

May I ask seriously what is fundamentally wrong with such a philosophy?
What is so scary about self-reliance?
About being self-made?
Or history is littered with such examples.

 

Nothing at all, as long as you're not screwing someone else over in the process. If you are, then don't get upset when someone else screws you over.
