Get involved. its the only way to make change happen. Like them or not, the Tea Party got involved and you can already see a shift in the Republican Party. The dems need a TRUE grass roots movement as well. Until we, the average citizen, take back ocontrol of BOTH parties, we will keep getting the dirty end of the stick.

NRH you are right we have got to get involved, but I don't like the Tea Party,they are way too radical, and too easily fooled by people telling them what they want to hear. I voted For Cruz over Dewhearst because I think Dewhearst is a complete and total phoney, but Tea Party favorite Cruz isn't that much better. I listened to his speech at the RNC the other night and it had a strangely familiar ring to it that I couldn't quite place untill near the end when I heard " We will not go quietly into the night" Bill Pulliums speech from Independance Day, I wish I had the finances to start a TRUE GRASS ROOTS movement, one rooted in common sense values to benifit all of the Ameriocan people as BOTH the Republican and Democratic parties have lost their intrest in the American people and concern themselves only with control, money, and power.

The Nazi filth that is Romney.

"Romney Goes Full Racist: Accuses Obama of Cutting Welfare Work Requirement to "Shore Up Base."

Short Romney: Obama is cutting the work requirement for welfare so he can get the shiftless Ns to vote for him. He's not even hiding his hood anymore.

This is not dog whistles. It's full out racism.
The racist attack is built on a lie. No one cut any work requirements. But it is not about reality. It's about whipping up racist hate to get votes.

Romney is the modern day George Wallace. America will retch his hate out. It is not 1968." TMP

Obamacare creates a wider base of the insured. Greater the base less cost to premiums. Preventive primary care going to our ER’s, will reduce Health Care loss. Simply put “Stitch in time saves nine”.…..The $ 716 Billion out of Medicare is by cutting the cost to medications, fraudulent claims crack down and efficiency upgrades. A savings as defined by the Congressional Budget Office {CBO}. Does not effect granny except for less cost to prescriptions and services.
Death panels was first coined for the panels that insurance companies had, to decided which medical procedure was less costly and which patients were expendable.{HMO’s} one example.
Nations that have incorporated Health Care have a greater quality of life and mortality rates lower per capita to USA. A local example of the cost effectiveness of a Health Care system here in the USA can be found in Mass. Their Health Care rose 6% after just 5 years of its introduction, versus the national average is at 7%. That is with limited base to one state. That 1% alone, accounts for savings in the Multibillions.
What sucks is republicans want to continue the failed systems of monopolized self governing health insurances. That they were the reason our ER’s were turned into primary care facilities and decreasing the base of paid insured. Raising the premiums to pay for the ER’s cost for primary use by uninsured.
Now for Tea Health Care http://youtu.be/6ik4f1dRbP8
Good luck in finding a doctor that takes new Medicare patients. There is not one in this town. Most of the emergency room visits are from Medicaid patients - not the uninsured. Indigent patients' hospital costs here are paid with property tax monies. What really sucks is nuts such as yourself who believe Obamacare will work. Doctors are retiring from their practices in droves. They do not want anything to do with Obamacare. Where will Obamacare be when there are no doctors left??

"Oops, they just woke the sleeping silent majority

I wonder if they truly understand that women of a certain younger age, who have gratefully taken for granted the freedoms so hard won by our foremothers, have just now awakened to the true nature of the war against women.

I've always called myself socially liberal and fiscally conservative.(Secret: I'm a registered Republican, but voted for Obama.) I will no longer vote for any Republican for any position at any time. I've become a straight ticket Democrat. Republicans have gone 20 steps too far toward crazy. And my husband is in the same position. A position we just call...sanity.

We are what most would consider financially comfortable. Some might consider rich. We don't feel rich. We live within (below) our means. We pay A LOT more than 13.9% in taxes. And we're generally okay with that because we don't build roads or bridges on our own. We think the government should do that. And we expect to pay for it. Honestly, we feel a little like we pay more than our fair share ... But, we still get to live okay, so, rules are rules.

We generally in principle supported Occupy but didn't speak up.

We generally in principle support "Obamacare" but didn't speak up.

We generally in principle are concerned about eroding free speech and an increasing police state but didn't speak up.

But now, we think we have to start speaking up for women. Is it too late?" ll

Republiscum = KKK. I told you so.

"RNC Delegate Offended By Presence of ‘Mexican’ At Disney’s Epcot Center

During a trip to Epcot at Disneyworld, Pennsylvania delegate Mark Harris and his wife were shocked and offended to find a Mexican employee working at the amusement park’s American pavilion, which showcases the different cultures in the United States."

Is that a photo of the racists? God, get a tan and then cover up that flab with a winter coat.

Why is there no media coverage, except by blogs of this story? Whyis there no updates? Why is there no confirmation from the "source"?

He's not reporting anything that actually happened. He is just cutting and pasting the 'facts' that his DNC troll leaders give him to post.'He' is definitely a troll and there is probably more than one using that name. He and other trolls on here just make up wild claims with no real 'evidence' to back any of it up. They throw out some made up data or numbers taken out of context and pretend that it proves their points. Just like Harry Reid, make the accusations with no facts, and some moron out there will believe it.

I agree. I don't believe in blanket statements. Life is far more complicated than that. Not everyone fits into a neat little box. I'm a pretty conservative guy, but I'm pretty liberal on a few issues as well. I think most Americans are the same, liberal on some things, conservative on others.

Kennedy was born rich, swam with the sharks and his men after his PT109 was sunk while he was SERVING his country, he forced the Soviets to remove their missals from Cuba, and when he screwed around on his wife, what can I say Monroe WOW. And getting a blow job is not boffing Lewinsky. You are probably one sided enough to actually believe that Republicans don't ever cheat on their wives, and if they don't, their wives would be all they don't cheat on. If you want to compair Romney to someone don't make it JFK as Romney would come up sorely lacking. For that matter he couldn't even carry Clintons dirty laundry.
Actually, I'm not exactly thrilled with Romney. What is "compair"? Do you mean "compare"? Republican men cheat too. Cheney, Eisenhower, McCain . I just don't agree with you that a "born rich" Republican is somehow worse than a "born rich" Democrat, based on nothing more than their party affiliation.

I don't know about evil. Oblamo is anti-colonialist and wants to bring this country down. His supporters are just not too bright.

Oblamo has done nothing but deliberately raised the national debt in the past four years, along with abuse of power and destroying the job market.

His supporters have no real reason to re-elect him other than
for racial preference or anticipating free handouts, funded by the remaining taxpayers who still have a job. His sorry record should speak for itself.

"Bain Documents: Romney Offshore Investments Used 'Blockers' To Avoid Taxes

The audited financial statements of one of the Cayman Islands funds make note of the use of "blocker" entities, which are used to help retirement accounts and nonprofit entities avoid some taxes.

Financial statements for another fund note that it "intends to conduct its operations so it will … not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax ..." ABC

So this is how Romeny ends up with $102 MILLION in his personal IRA? Did he also place unnaturally low-priced stocks in there as well?
