@
Tony
Fareed is suspended? I hear he was coping off of Joe Biden. Fareed you should no better than to copy off a d- student.
Good Morning! A quick comment and then I am off to have fun with the grandkids!
i love the leftie comments about Ryan! the left will have a little fun for a short time talking about granny and the cliff BUT……..in order to attack and try to minimize Ryan the HAVE to talk about the economy!!!! Thay have been able to skirt the issue and create all the other smoke screens to avoid the real issue but now they will HAVE to talk about it!!! BRILLIANT! If it was Rubio they would have been talking about the “scandels” behind him and they would have been talking about dirt with all the others but with Ryan, the “dirt” is the economy!!
Now a quick look at the debates …………… Ryan, Biden? NOOOOOOOO Contest! Ryan will eat Biden for lunch! Brains vs Yuk YuK! BRILLIANT!
Enjoy guys! I know I will!
Hi friends out there. My name is Jimmy, and I’m working on a school project. I go to an year-round government school. My project is Feminine Male Democrats; Why Democrat males appear to be feminine girly men, eg. Barny Frank and that Chris Hayes guy which I still believe Hayes is girl. Can anybody else give me examples of democratic girly men?
The Ryan VP pick signals two things:
1) A swing for the fence by a desperate Mitt Romney. In the past, such swings for the fence with VP picks have struck out.
2) The election signals a clear choice: one a desire to return to pre-1964 America or a desire to continue to move forward in the 21st century.
American, you choose.
I’m reading your posts–it appears Romneys behind electorally however since Obamas election in 2008 Republican Governors have been winning consistently there are now 47 Republican Senators and I’m sure that number will be increased in November,almost 70 Dems lost their seats in 2010,GOP huge victories nationally in state houses–things have been going well–Obama looks wobbly,I think if Ron Paul supporters vote for Mitt– Obama will fall.We can only hope.
My prediction: MSNBC’s numbers will be off-the-charts in primetime next week! Paul Ryan is the biggest gift to the Democratic party. Ryan signals a desire to dismantle over 40 years of social safety net protection … protection for the most vulnerable among us … the elderly and the poor.
Glad the right think Vice President Biden is easy in a debate. Hmmmm, don’t think so….. The Veep debates have little or no impact on the election. My money is on Biden and his experience and ability to connect with working Americans and seniors. Ryan has done the damage and now has to explain his merciless budget proposals against seniors an the poor and middleclass.
S. Papa, Mitt is a spineless wimp, he stands for “NOTHING.” (grammar) You carry on about President Obama’s time before politics and his record as a very popular Senator and seemingly growing popularity as a soon second term President. President Obama has accomplished many of his goals dispite the zero support from a DO NOTHING GOP party. The GOP have no record, their candidate has no vision. I am very pleased with the Paul Ryan pick. Another white dude that alienates a good portion of the GOP base. That wants to throw Grandma off a cliff and force familes with children to starve, end Social Security and destroy Medicare.
Ya godda a uphill climb!!
Sicilian Papa,
Go study your spelling words bro!
Copying, not coping
Know, not no
No Hoppy. I haven’t “jumped on it” in a long time. Left or right. You and the people that disagree with me are the only ones that bring up the spelling anymore.
The Ryan pick definitely screams the Romney campaign knows they need to make a big move because they were falling behind. Now will it work or will they fall in their face is to be seen.
I think Ryan makes Wisconsin a real swing state rather then one that is somewhat of a swing state but very likely to be Democrat. It also helps in some other swing states(Ohio, Iowa and Michigan). On the Negative side I think it makes Florida much harder to win(ie old People)
I mean other Midwestern swing states then other swing states
@Jimmy, you can use me for your project, but first off, I doubt you even have a job, and if you had any real balls which obviously you don’t, to talk like that in my presence you may end up with a huge reconstructive surgery bill.
The biggest “all talk” idiot on TV is Bill O Reilly!! That’s why idiots tune into him, to see what the idiot-in-chief has to say next.
You right wing jerks wanna turn this room dirty and negative?? Bring it!!
I prefer the issues and not your stupid as usual attempts at insults. But as you know I’m game either way!
100 dollars says jimmy is DB.
they Both are rude and crude.
lol at suikostinger
At Suiko, may as well be right!?! But since YOU mentioned his name, it’s like saying,
Bloody Mary!
Bloody Mary!
Bloody Mary!
In the mirror 3 times and the demon will appear……ever hear of that old superstition? LOL!
—————————-
THEY BROUGHT IN THE U.S.S. WISCONSIN!!!!
THEY BROUGHT IN THE GOVERNOR!!!!!!
THEY CREATED A NEW POWERFUL SOUNDING SOUND TRACK!!!!!
THEY BROUGHT IN THE GOP ONLY CROWD!!!!!
THEY FLEW IN THE CANDIDATE AND HIS FAMILY!!!!!!!
Mitt Romney: ” I want to introduce you to the next President of the United States Paul Ryan”
OOOPS!!
Ann Coulter has to be so happy that she got what she demanded from Mitt by selecting Rep. Ryan.
Now maybe she can “untuck,” relax, and lighten up on the Mittster. LMAO!!
Interesting…Romney was way too central for some folks. The American people’s center vote didn’t matter so the base decided to have Ryan as the VP. Ryan who is anything but center. Appealing to the Milton Friedman crowd or should I just say Grover Norquist crowd (same thing).
Cut taxes, privatize governmental services including social security and healthcare (Medicare) as we know the healthcare system is already privatized and very expensive, implement a wide spread voucher system for schools, eliminate any opposing voices (labor unions), lower tariffs etc has all been done before under the experiment of Milton Friedman and his Chicago Boys. This is nothing new folks. Only thing it did in Chile was move 50% of the people into POVERTY and most of the others living on a shoestring budget and produced a very FEW very wealthy folks at the top. Huge poverty and inequality…nice cocktail mix. Some people (*Heritage Foundation founders*) call this the “Chile Miracle”. They see how some at the top enjoyed major economic growth while ignoring the entire rest of the populace that ended up poor or in poverty. Typical
Big win for folks who like these policies. I hope they are the very few that end up at the top because they will find soon enough the bottom will not be a very good place to live.

LMAO, and you voted for Obama, can’t be that intelligent, because, he fooled you with all that hype about Hope and Change. How’s that hope and change Boss. You sucka!
Jeff, do you also get tingles up your leg when Obama speaks? LMAO!
Jimmy’s right, you guys are girly men!
@Buck_____2012, Do you leave a mess in your pants when President Obama speaks? Or at Images of Sean Hannity on your laptop in a dark corner…
Jeff, LOL, I vomit when I hear Obummer speak. How’s that 5 trillion dollars and 8.3 percent unemployment Hope and Change treating you buddy?
