so suiko, in your post on the unemployment numbers you had no take on those numbers you just reposted the numbers Coffee did? Why did you do that? You didn’t state that you thought using the 2008 number was not fair because Obama wasn’t president in 2008? For your tiny little brain, that is your take!!
Jessica, well said! You must be a member of MENSA just like suiko.
Oh and suiko, I am not Jesus but thanks for the compliment.
BTW, Why can’t Matthews lie about “Obamas” unemployment rates? He’s an opinion show on MSNBC right? The Opinion shows on Fox News do it all the time. Remember the false 200 million dollar a day India trip that Obama made in 2010? Hannity and Fox and Friends reported that his trip costs the American people 200 million dollars a day to take a trip to India which was 100% false.
suiko, you put the words ” I never said anything bad to you” in quotes as if that is something I said. Prove I said that!! I believe I have said to you that I have not called you and idiot, or moron or stupid. You seem offended I have not called you those names?? Are you?
Nancy the hypocrite appears again and pretends she is ignoring me but it is obvious she reads all my posts. You painted yourself into the “can’t respond” corner. Good move.
“an idiot”
typical suiko, trying to justify bad behavior with examples of supposed bad behavior by others. I love it when you libs respond to a negative report on Obama by saying “well Bush did it”. I thought Obama was going to be a change.
DB.
The people that bad mouth Matthews WATCH Fox News and shows like Fox and Friends and Hannity. To attack Mathews for what he says yet watch and enjoy and think Fox News is fair and balanced is a JOKE and VERY hypocritical. I never said “They do it so why can’t Mathews”. My point was, the people that attack Mathews in here (not Coffee) also think Fox News opinion shows should be able to say anything they want to say because they are opinion shows….well guess what, so is Mathews, yet he can’t do the same thing that the opinion shows on Fox News do? I love that you call me a lib just because I bad mouth Fox News, even though I have bad mouthed MSNBC over and over again. Your arguments are quite pathetic.
suiko, two questions. So you feel it is ok for opinion shows to lie? How much did the India trip cost?
Quick Break
WOW!!! The Moon is awesome tonight, HUGE!!!
And Saturday night we have a Super Moon, (closest to the Earth for the year) Its awesome guys…enjoy it and just soak in the magnificence…
OMG suiko, you just said why can’t Mathews lie, Fox did it. Now your saying you didn’t say that? To quote you ” BTW why can’t Mathews lie? The opinion shows on Fox do it all the time.” Then you say ” I never said “They do it so why can’t Mathews.” And then you call my arguments pathetic. You can’t even remember or maybe can’t understand what you say from post to post.
Breaking…
The Earth will not end Dec 21, 2012. It has been discovered the Mayan were taking LSD and they threw darts to pick certain dates. The Earth will actaully end yesterday
From (Totally made up news) film at 11
Coffee Steve
I am glad someone focuses on the important things.
I am watching the sunset.
I will look for the moon shortly.
Enjoy your movie, I think I will go watch mine.
suiko, my posts have been mainly attacking you not Mathews although I did say his take on the numbers was ridiculous. The difference is I know Mathews knows he is mistaken but doesn’t care because he has a man crush on Obama. I attacked you because you don’t understand how you misinterpreted the numbers. You obviously thing unemployment has actually gone down.
thing = think
@Rick, were outside watching it and I’m on my laptop, Its amazing here, when rising it took up the whole sky, In 57 years I’ve never seen it that huge here, only once in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean have I ever seen it bigger than tonight.
You enjoy your movie and the heavnly sights too.
OMG suiko, you just said why can’t Mathews lie, Fox did it.
You really need to get out more, because your social skills are lacking. My point was that people that watch Fox News opinions shows like Fox and Friends and Hannity think it’s alright for them to lie about things just because they are opinion shows, so why do they think Matthews (as an opinion show)can’t? If you had the right social skills you would have known the point that was I was trying to get across, but you seem to be lacking such simple skills.
“You obviously think unemployment has actually gone down.”
WOW? I do? I never knew I did. Oh that’s right because I don’t. You might want to reread my post about the numbers that Coffee posted, because this is the 3rd time that I’ve said in here that ACCORDING to Coffees own numbers, that’s what they say.
@Coffee
The new Mission Impossible movie was actually pretty good. I’ve never seen the other 2 so I can’t compare.
suiko, you can spin what you said all you want but you said why can’t mathews lie since Fox does. Then you said you didn’t say that. You said it, it is black and white. The only thing you can say now is yes I said that but what I meant was … Don’t deny what you wrote!!! You contradicted yourself–admit it.
suiko, how much did the trip to India cost. You need to tell this little fact to support your statement that Fox lied. Just give us the actual cost.
@Suikostinger
We went last night and saw the Avengers, if your into those kids of movies, this one took the prize, its great, Yep, MI 2 was the best.
Goodnight everybody and as I leave a question?
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Later Gators
Peace
Coffee, I actually think the 3rd MI movie is the best but that is my opinion of course. My opinion is based on the fact his female partner is the hottest one yet!!! Ok my opinion here is shallow but I don’t care.
