I’d said that I didn’t think most folks could vote for a Mormon.
It doesn’t seem to be as big a deal as I thought.
Sorry.
You underestimated the American spirit of fair play, but after 4+ years of a Democrat agenda focused on dividing the nation …. I find myself doing the same sadly.
Unfortunately this administration has failed to bring the change the nation requested 4 years ago …. Bait ‘n Switch?
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-25…
Who’s this 60 Minutes reporter Lata Logan … I hear she is going rogue on Obama.
Facts about the financial condition of the United States of America:
US GDP = $15.5 trillion
US Treasury Debt = $16 trillion
Debt to GDP is now over 100%
US Revenues = $2.3 trillion
US Expenses = $3.6 trillion
Annual Deficit = $1.3 trillion
Our annual deficit ($1.3T) is increasing our outstanding debt ($16T) by 10% per year. This is a completely unsustainable path.
For every 1% increase in interest rates, the cost to finance our debt will increase by $160 billion per year.
– that $160B increase equals 10% of our annual deficit
– that $160B increase equals nearly 5% of our annual revenues ($2.3T)
The current borrowing cost of the U.S. is at historic lows and represents 6% of our annual spending. The probability is a near certainty that rates will rise given our current path.
So, do you feel Obama has taken us to the fiscal cliff for a looksie? Remember he’s added almost $6T in debt in 4 years.
Back to interest rates, interest expense and borrowing costs. If rates rise by only 5%, then we will need to direct 25% of our annual current revenues to simply fund the increase in our borrowing costs.
To put this in perspective, the increase alone is the same amount we spent on all of Medicare and Medicaid in 2011, it was more than the entire Defense Department budget in 2011, and it was more than we spent on Social Security in all of 2011.
So 4 years down the road and our failed-to-lead President Obama is asking us to move forward with him … you know get his back.
Here are some solutions you leftists have proposed … of course the impacts are covered too.
1. If we repeal all of the Bush tax cuts it will add only $100 billion in revenue.
2. We could double taxes on individual income and still not close the current budget deficit. Let alone begin to repay our debt.
3. What about spending? Eliminating the entire Defense Department budget of $700 billion would only reduce our annual deficit by just over 50%! Throw in all discretionary spending and you get close to balancing the budget but stop short of repaying any debt.
When Sesame tells you to go sit in the corner and shut your mouth….you’ve got issues
Too late. Romney already made it that way.
The simple fact is our nation is in a state of fiscal crisis.
And I’ll call you on your knowledge of Sesame Workshop … They’ve asked Obama to stay away from their brand.
Obama is damaging their brand and entire franchise….and that is bad for Sesame Street for a number of reasons.
I read Twitter, too, pal. I know they asked to stay out of the poltical debate. You do not have a red phone to Grover, guy. The GOP attempt to reframe this as Sesame Street vs. Obama is hillarious… hillarious except for the fact your party is full of soul-less, conscienceless, evil, thugs. At least, if Crossroads GPS is the measure.
Many of my extended family members are in the GOP. They are good people who work hard, raise their children, go to church, are kind to their neighbors, etc. When I think about them being sucked in by the most evil people on the planet — corporate thieves and the religious wingnuts who support them, I am very, very sad. I am sad for you too, Libby. Underneath your pathetic attempt to rile people up every day on Pols, I suspect you are probably like my family members — you probably are a regular person with a good heart. I am deeply sorry you “do the devil’s bidding” so willingly.
Have a good day, Libby.
Will save around $40. Lucky for Mittens, there are morons like Libby who eat that shit up.
Go to YouTube and pull up Reagan’s farewell speech from Jan 11, 1989
In case I haven’t said this enough…
I am sick about the media war between Mike Coffman and Joe Miklosi in CO. As an activist for human rights, children, and marginalized people in Arapahoe County, every dealing I have had with Mike Coffman or his staff has been a bad one. When my friend Joe Miklosi decided to run against Coffman, I was thrilled! Joe is a man of integrity who cares about everyone — especially children. The lies being said about Joe on television make me cry. Mike Coffman and Crossroads GPS will say anything, do anything, lie to anyone, and hurt anyone to destroy his competition. Mike Coffman is backed by his biggest donors in big Oil. Need I say more? I think even less of Mike Coffman now… as if that were ever possible. I do not say these words lightly. Mike Coffman is an evil, evil man to say the dishonest things he is saying about Joe.
Few know who Joe Mikloski is…well except for his voting record.
You do recall that Joe fired the daughter of a Colorado Senator …. Put that single mother to the street without healthcare or a final check. I hear that damaged any level of real support from core Dems here is Colorado.
I think he was even caught hosting campaign events where no one showed up except for a reporter or two. Why weren’t you there backing Joe at these major campaign press events???
I talked to the woman to whom you are referring. She doesn’t say much about it, despite the fact your party keeps egging her on trying to get her to destroy someone. Leave her alone.
Second, I’d rather have a Congressman who hosts events, shows up to events, and actually is willing to talk to his constituents, than one who sits in a padlocked office somewhere and does the devil’s bidding, completely ignoring everyone who is not already 100% on his side. Coffman is nothing but the puppet of multinationalism — you know it, I know it, and all of Aurora knows it. The day that man cares about the average Coloradan is the day we all develop super powers.
He knows exactly what he is doing. Which makes it even worse.
Translation: More scurrilous Tea Party lies, couched in the form of “some say” or “I’ve heard that.”
You might as well say “I hear that Libertad …” Nope, never mind. Not gonna sink to his level.
Okay,
You demand I explain myself. Here is a link to a very simple article even Cdolsters can understand and learn from.
First read liberal mush mind Huff Post point of view, then free money rebutt.
It is all right here, you will become a Fed Reserve expert. Make up your own mind, if you have a mind…
http://www.libertyclassroom.co…
….tells me instantly it’s for the tinfoil hat crowd. Those who wanna believe.
To be honest (try that, please) the issues of the Federal Reserve are 1) so back burner to me and most others, and 2) so convoluted in myths and alleged facts, that it is of no concern.
Further, it doesn’t matter who you vote for, it’s there. And neither of us can influence it one way or the other.
. . . just look at what your contest to name the DFGOTB has wrought. The dickweeds are all now actively competing for the title.
The annoying troll repeats whatever he heard on talk radio or received in the morning fax from the Republican party. He might be smart, he might be dumb, but if he can get the liberals on the board angry and distracted, he’s done his job competently. That’s worth something.
The dumbest fucking guy on the blog always tries to troll as a concerned Democrat or someone above the fray, but every post contains transparent Drudge-era arguments with the humor of “Date Movie” combined with the sophistication of the bitter drunk guy at the end of the bar. And unlike a decent troll, the DFGOTB’s posts never make you angry, never make you defend your side, never make you doubt your strength. They just make you think, “What were you thinking when you wrote that, and why is Scott Tipton still paying you?”
I love it. Never ceases to make me laugh SXP.

Stuff we may not want to hear.
then we’ll be safe.
Except then those darn Mexicans.
Well, let’s nuke them, too.
And can we really trust Californians ?
So far it’s the dingbats talking amongst themselves. Lookie — we got Parrot X, Nockwurst, and the ‘turd all competing for a race to the bottom. Let’s see what this sub par brain trust comes up with when they’re playing by themselves.
not sure WTF Cronk hopes to achieve by engaging ‘turd. Sometimes is best just to ignore rather than degrade oneself.
Sorry.
All you have to do to see that is look at Peak Politics.
. . . no, I don’t.
but I like their social media bar. Imagine the hits we’d get if we made it that easy.

And it is SO much fun to give them intellectual wedgies.
Pauly wanna cracker.

Is there any doubt about which Colorado member of Congress deservedly made the list, according to Rolling Stone?
He has a really cute kid.
I think your Big Line needs updating, at least under “President.”
“Denver debate may seal the deal for Obama in Colorado”? As a Democratic Obama supporter, all I can say is: I hope not!
It’s Thelonius Monks bd today:
