"The 47% who don’t pay federal income tax are mostly elderly, children, and the working poor, AND US military personnel deployed in war zones who are exempt from paying federal taxes on combat pay. See, Romney mentioned the troops in a speech! But of course…the liberal hounds, of course, went after Mitt like a poor person going after a basic need.”
— Stephen Colbert
My first thought after reading her comment was that "responding point-by-point" was that it's never stopped her before. :winkgrin:Quote:

It is very bothersome to me when anyone calls the President or Mitt Romney incompetent, or stupid. I am a diehard Democrat, but will be the first to admit Romney's intelligence. It's fine to dislike a candidate, but why say things that aren't true?Quote:

What struck me was this was so different from any piece like this in the years that I had listened before and since.
as to Minnie's info on the 2007 Congress. NPRMorning Edition, the late John Murtha was interviewed after the 2006 election in which the Democrats took over both houses of Congress. Murtha basically said the Congress "belonged to the Democrats. So in addition to passing the legislation THEY wanted and the heck with Republicans, the Democrats were the ONLY party in the US. Even the NPR host was taken aback and ended the piece as quickly as possible.
All are available on NPR archives.
Since when is incompetent an insult?Quote:

I do agree that some people do get a bit carried away, which maybe seems to cloud their judgment.
What you find "questions about Obama" is hate spam. There are no questions in a Minnie's posts just ranting.Quote:

Like the person who posted that ABC adored Obama and slammed anyone who disagreed. When I asked for proof I got NOTHING, then still nothing, and finally the Dan Rather debacle which falsehood resulted in Rather and 4 producers getting fired, unlike over at Fox where they not only allow, but encouraged factlessness.Quote:

Since his announced his run for the president W was deemed stupid. Including two "comedy shows" on Comedy Network showing Bush as a bumbling fool.Quote:

And poor Ann Coulter. She's like Donald Trump, desperate for attention since she's lost all relevancy. She called Obama "the retard" the other day. She got press! She's happy!
Thought this response to Coulter was great:
"In an open letter directed at Coulter posted Tuesday on the Special Olympics blog, John Franklin Stephens, a 30-year-old Special Olympian with Down syndrome, described what the word meant to him: "I thought first of asking whether you meant to describe the President as someone who was bullied as a child by people like you, but rose above it to find a way to succeed in life as many of my fellow Special Olympians have.
"Then I wondered if you meant to describe him as someone who has to struggle to be thoughtful about everything he says, as everyone else races from one snarkey sound bite to the next. ... Well, Ms. Coulter, you, and society, need to learn that being compared to people like me should be considered a badge of honor. No one overcomes more than we do and still loves life so much."
I did say that ABC is running an Obama infomercial, but don't think I "slammed" anyone that disagreed with my opinion, don't even think I responded to those that did.:confused:Quote:

Yes, that is my opinion and no, I don't remember what stories they were putting out there, or who they were interviewing every time that happened, several times.
That is why I didn't respond.
I would consider if ABC was idolizing Romney just as objectionable, as I don't think it is the place of national news to take sides and promote one over the other.
All I want is other choices, both that count are really not anyone I want to vote for, although I understand why they are saying what they are, both of them, to get elected they have to.
You could do the exact same video using Romney policies and Romney supporters.Quote:

Factless? Did the democrats not take over the house and the senate in 2007? Did they not have control of the budget? Please point out to me which facts are not true and you will have my most abject apology. Seriously.Quote:

And, by the way, I NEVER rant! :)
Incompetent is only an insult if not true. I am incompetent as a brain surgeon. I not only lack the requisite training, I have poor hand eye coordination. You don't want me with an instrument in your brain.
But in my field of training and talent, I was well paid and competent.
Obama is incompetent as the leader of USA. The last 4 years has been marked by political battle and economic decline. Perhaps he has done as well as might be expected with his limited experience as an executive.
As president of the USA, Obama is incompetent. He might be competent as a community organizer but as a national leader, he is not. Results are the only measure, excuses are not.
If I don't like what you say, I call it a rant and give you a red thumbing.:lol:Quote:
