THAT'S JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE POLICY MATTERS THAT CHRIS MATTHEWS SAID WE DON'T CARE ABOUT!!!
SHERROD BROWN COULD GET THIS FIXED IF HE'D RAISE SOME HELL!!
How does that create jobs HERE?
How do we then find jobs to pay for the original tax cuts?
Is this another example of "policy matters that Americans don't care about"?
Bristol was home from school with a nasty case of Mono for 8 months while Mommy was preganant. She supposedly stayed with her aunt, yet had a car accident in that same time period.
Sarah, I have a question....
--GOP
he missed the RNC Convention last night because of a potential storm next week.
I think the best part of Bush ran down his Dad's leg.
Why is McCain pirating songs that he hasn't bought?
Brazenly arrogant. I thought Gonzo said HE is the Law when it comes to that!
I bet he'll have it quashed.
Hey, you seen Sarah?
Where's the Barackacuda?
she'll wind up getting sick whenever someone forces her to talk about Muslims, brown skinned people, the economy... etc.
their base will appreciate that.
I'm betting it's just another lie. We'll see.
as long as Obama came across as intelligent, he reached an audience that have only heard rehashed republican talking points about him. that's a good thing.
You have to understand most of these low information voters, ONLY watch fox. They are fed a steady diet of crap and cannot think for themselves.
It was a brilliant move. Truly.
support the anal rape of 299,000,000 people, vote republican.
also referred to once by chimpy as his "base".
they didn't talk about the economy because they didn't want to piss off the little people... umm... what are they called? Oh yeah! voters.
GOP Preacher says Todd Palin is going to Hell:
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/04/todd-palin-...
He doesn't mince words either.
there seem to be two sets of books, one for them and one for everyone not a part of the group.
The other says Iran, Iraq and North Korea are the very axis of Evil.
Wonder why that is? You don't think it's because these preachers have their congregation believing that the way to heaven is to vote against abortion...even though the Republicans never once voted to end abortion when they held the House and Senate for 12 years.....do ya?
What a dumb nation this is...people are suffering without jobs, and you still keep voting for those very policies that caused people hardship. It seems these voters want to suffer these self inflicted wounds, over and over again.
Question: Why do we need a VP who calls herself a PIT BULL and is also called a BARRACUDA, when we have a CHIMP and a SHARK presently in the WH, who has messed this country, big time?
Would you please comment on this:

Maybe I read it wrong.
Hate to say it, but you've got bigger problems in Cleveland. Want proof? Stephanie Tubbs-Jones was head of the House Ethics Committee.....God reat her sould I mean no disrespect.
However, I bet the next Committee won't be from Cleveland.
Why are the taxpayers being forced to pay for that new Medical Mart? Is it going to be a museum?
If it weren't for Cleveland Metro Hospital, there wouldn't be a Cleveland!
if you have evidence that the $7/hr minimum wage is causing layoffs (as opposed to other factors like shrinking credit, transportation costs, health care costs, consumer spending) i'm sure we'd all like to see it.
that ALONE explains it.
minimum wage has nothing to do with companies like HP, GM, Ford etc... laying off workers.
the starting wage at any of those places is somewhere around 17/hr (averaging)... thats what, 6.75 MORE than minimum wage?
the company owners you're talking to can't sell products because no one's buying them... because LARGER industries are closing down or moving... leaving people unemployed and unable to buy products from hometown companies.
trickle-down economics was bad in the reagan years... it was denounced, rightly so... then kkkarl rove and co renamed it for the chimp years. same economics, same economy.
and you're blaming this on minimum wage?
I rightly guessed you were an idiot.
you've got to be kidding... Burger King isn't firing people.
where else do people actually get pain minimum wage?
are you an idiot or was this a snarky comment and you forgot the /snark?
Bob Frantz a conservative talk show host on Cleveland radio just spent an hour discussing how the minimum wage increase is hurting business.For example,here is a link to a local kid's amusement park. If you read the fine print under the prices it
says that prices have had to be drastically increased due to the recent minimum wage increase.

Wonder why?
I'm betting on the latter.
VOTE THUMBS DOWN ON MCNUTTIE'S SPEECH.

Check this one out...then pass it around:

Bless his heart. He tried though.
I remember the Republicans touting them as the only means to get gas prices down.
Turns out it was a maneuver to funnel money to the oil companies that could then legally turn around and give it back to the GOP to run their candidates for office.
Good commercial.
More of the same.

Maybe one of the preachers will on Sunday.
MORE OF THE SAME FOR SURE WITH McCAIN! COUNT ON IT-STOP WHINING!11Just STOP WHINING!!!
Our economic expansion has been largely funded by taking on debt, both in the government as well as on the part of the consumer.
This one isn't going to be easy to fix--and tax cuts certainly won't fix it.
Robert Rubin solution had two major parts, the first part was give tax cuts to the middle class for the reason I already gave. The other significant reason of the economic boom under President Clinton was the immergence of a new technological industry which was the internet. The Clinton administration fostered the growth of this industry by enacting the Telecommunication act which tore down the barriers that would prohibit telephone companies, media business etc... from also having an internet business. This allowed AT&T, MSN, Sprint to get in the internet business. This caused a boom in the internet business and from this came new mega companies like AOL, CISCO, INTEL which led to residual industries like fiber optics becoming the largest sales in Corning glassware. This created millions of jobs in a very short period of time which was the catalyst to the economic boom of the 1990’s. Barack Obama has that same economic model. He will start with a cut in taxes for the middle income bracket of Americans and his new technological industry will be new energy sources. The Federal Government would help foster the “Green Revolution”. This has the potential of being even larger than the internet and creating 10 times the jobs that the internet produced. This economic model could potentially have this country out of having an annual fiscal deficit to an annual surplus by the end of Senator Obama’s first term. It will also have residual affects like reducing the treat of terrorism because the Saudi’s will not have US money to send to the terrorist groups that they sponsor. When the Saudi’s loose 40 billions dollars a year in oil revenue forever, they will no money to give to terrorist. Unlike the internet revolution some side benefits will be clean air, stopping global warming, the Polar Bears getting their habitat back and the list goes on.
Without hard data to analyze, one can argue until the sun explodes without getting anywhere.
As far as proven energy sources, nukes and coal are solidly grounded in existing technology. Pushing R&D money at a problem with the assurance that someone, somehow will come up with a solution seems to be more in the province of hope and wishing.
I'm just not convinced that the hole we've dug for ourselves is fillable by anyone.
