      1. How about this fact:

        Obama, Biden, Panetta and Rice all stood besies the caskets of four dead Americans and told greiving family members that they were going to get the guy that made the video when each of them knew that the video had nothing to do with the deaths of their loved ones.

         

        It is beyond ghoulish that President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Ambassador Rice could stand beside the caskets of my nephew Sean Smith, Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Glenn Doherty and Tyrone Woods in 2012 and tell grieving family members that they were going to get the guy who made this awful video.

        1. Those are not facts…that is your opinion, stated twice…repetition does not a fact make.

          Who else was it that believes I am  liar…? Didn't hear anything from David…what else you got??   Put up or shut up, fool.

  1. You still haven't posted any facts. You seem to be a serial liar. Fox news is not a credible source – right wing propaganda mouth piece. Your stupidity is crystal clear – all you have are faulty right wing talking pints. Get real facts – then come back and post.

  2. Has anyone ever seen our great 'adult' high brow, well-reasoned 'debater' (as per DTh) aka turd-troll, post anything to suggest it understands what a 'fact' actually is?  If so, can someone provide a link?  

    1. And how many of them were polled via landlines?

      How many of them were polled via cellphones?

      Right now, the polls are wrong. Dead wrong. There are many factors involved and it is not looking very good for Republicans.

      1) Obamacare enrollment is up, and people are demanding states who refuses to expand Medicare expand. 

      2) Benghazi is dead. In fact, it's now a dead horse. I respect Rep. Buck McKeown's declaration that his committee is satisified that there is nothing devious about Benghazi and is a non-scanal. If you want to argue with me about this, let's talk about over 3,000 dead in *'s watch. And 271(ish) dead in Lebanon in 1983 when your boyhood friend and idol, St. Raygun was President.

      3) Many are tired of the lies from the media. There are many feelings that they are not getting their fair share of the economics. They will vote with their wallets, and by $DIETY_OF_CHOICE, it won't be the Republican Party. 

      4) The Koch Brothers and its criminal enterprises are spending billions of dollars spreading lies and many people are onto them. The right-wing Birchers are soon close to being indicted, sent to trial, found guilty, and sentenced to their deaths (via a long prison sentence, not a death sentence).

  3. Anybody else see Tom Tancredo (and assorted Republicans and black conservatives) campaigning at the Cinco de Mayo celebration in Denver over the weekend? Hey, the guy goes where you'd think he wouldn't be welcome…

  4. Republican neglect of our nation's infrastructure – so the Big Boys don't have to pay a penny more in taxes – continues to be one of the biggest threats to our economic well-being and the basic transportation and safety needs of many of our cities and towns. 

    This is the very refudiation of their claims of being "conservative".

    New Jersey governor Chris Christie spiked plans to build two new rail tunnels under the Hudson, likely leaving the metropolitan region for the next quarter century with all of two rail tunnels to carry New Jersey commuters into Midtown Manhattan. Those two tunnels are more than a century old and carry more more than 160,000 passengers a day. Hurricane Sandy flooded them and caused a lot of damage. They are also a dangerously narrow chokepoint on the one of the busiest rail corridors in the world.

    The state and federally financed project called Access to the Region’s Core would have doubled the number of cross-Hudson tubes and relieved that bottleneck. Construction had already begun when Christie pulled the plug, a putative cost-saving measure that was also meant to demonstrate his state's political independence, and rededicated some of its funding to repairing the Pulaski Skyway.

    Senator Chuck Schumer last year called Christie’s decision "one of the worst decisions that any governmental leader has made in the 20th century, or the 21st century.”

    Amtrak has since come up with a new, still-unfunded plan called the Gateway Program.Like A.R.C., it would build two new tunnels under the Hudson River. Amtrak's literature puts the target completion date at 2030, but Boardman, recounting a panel discussion he'd attended earlier that day, said the panel's consensus was “25 years if you’re lucky.”

    By his lights, that’s not nearly soon enough, particularly with what he describes as at least a half-billion dollars' worth of Hurricane Sandy-related damage. That could pose some very big problems for the New Jersey commuters and regional rail travelers who rely on those tunnels to get from New Jersey to New York, and back again.

    This has gone on in every state, every locale: R's refusing to invest in America, saying "no we can't", defending the indefensible idea that the richest among us shouldn't be asked to pay their fair share. China, Brazil, and India are all investing incredible amounts of money to modernize their nation's infrastructures. America is letting itself rot away bridge by bridge, road by road.

    1. Guess they don't mind our descending to third world infrastructure status but aren't lousy roads, bridges and collapsing buildings a problem for them and their children too? They have raised short sightedness to an art form.
