Who do you support for Governor in Tennessee in 2010?

[Cornbread]

I have to agree. The House has become incompetent and absurd. I am afraid the next, will make this one look like a walk in the park.
I'll continue to watch, and shake my head in disbelief.

As Bette Davis said, "Hold onto your hats, boys, it's going to be a bumpy ride."

Cornbread, I'm turning in for the night...gotta get my Beauty Rest, you know! Lol!

Goodnight!:)

Sean Hannity's television ratings plummeted since Obama won

http://www.examiner.com/article/sean-hannity-...

On Monday, Nielsen – the company that gathers and releases data regarding television-viewers’ viewing habits – released their latest figures for the fourth-quarter of 2012, and the big news from the latest ratings’ data were regarding Sean Hannity’s television program. According to the New York Daily News, Nielsen indicates that Sean Hannity’s Fox television program lost approximately half of its audience following President Barack Obama’s Nov. 6 victory over GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Nielsen claims that Hannity lost even more than half of his 25-to-54-year-old audience members which is crucial data in relation to advertising dollars brought in by a television program.

I highly doubt that anybody that has been mentioned even lift.

Fox no longer has the highest Ratings overall, either. MSNBC is now the highest rated. Looks like People are starting to wake up and realize that Fox is just entertainment, not real News.

This GOP controlled House is the worst, they can't even pass a bill(that the Senate already approved of), for the victims of Super Storm Sandy. So now they will have to wait until the new term comes in. The Republican Leadership has no capacity to lead!

Why did you bother? Do the patriotic thing, unreal. Add up all your company's receipts, multiply by 35%, and send it to the government.
Paying taxes is supposedly what we're supposed to be doing. Did you take advantage of tax loopholes, like subtracting business expenses? Why would you deliberately STEAL from your government?
Did you deduct your mortgage and taxes? Those are now "loopholes". I certainly hope you didn't deduct for "charitable" donations.
I suppose you're an S corporation, so you probably even deducted your medical insurance, again stealing from your government.
On a postive note, you could save on your accounting expense. It isn't too hard to add up all your deposits and multiply by 35%. Gets you out of having to keep records too. see here MR. IRS. Added all the debits and multiplied by .35.
Government cheater.

I guess you are trying to be cute here. If not, you really don't understand anything about business. Deposits do not equal income in a business - I wish they did, but it is far from it. I won't try to explain Accounting 101 to you.

Anyway, my work is done. From here it goes to the accountants and they will take only legal deductions I assure you, so you can stop worrying about me being a "Government cheater". Worry more about your own soda stand Tim – you better hope no one ever decides to check into where those are coming from.

FOX News Channel is the #2 cable network in November

"For the month of November, FOX News Channel was the #2 cable network among Total Viewers in both Primetime (2.556 million) and Total Day (1.466 million), behind only ESPN in Primetime and Nickelodeon in Total Day.

"FNC was the only cable news channel in the top 10 for both Prime in Total Day in Total Viewers. In prime, MSNBC ranked 11th(1.284 million) and CNN ranked 17th (1.052 million). In Total Day, MSNBC was 12th (0.725 million)and CNN was 16th (0.652 million)

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/12/31/c...

FNC 1,044 202 405
CNN 351 100 155
MSNBC 532 159 218

That's DOUBLE MSNBC's audience.

The blame will be placed on the Republicans (check the polls), and no amount of Tea Party rallies will save their jobs past the primaries. The GOP is destroying itself, albeit more slowly than the working man deserves.

Will Republicans get the blame ? They will get most of it....They have too many "safe" districts to lose control of the House for the next few election cycles though. This week's mess is just a preview of coming attractions as the Republicans who are in those safe districts, remain steadfastly opposed to anything Obama wants to do. Gridlock is here to stay, and as they flex their muscles in opposition, the country will pay the price.

One thing NOT in the bill passed last night was an extension of the payroll tax cut. This tax cut was targeted to the working poor. The party who loves tax cuts HATED this one and not a single Republican lamented it's end as they fought tooth and nail to protect tax cuts for those making over 250K. IF the voting public, the VAST majority of which (as opposed to the Republican contributors of this thread ) will never earn 250K in three years, gave this a little thought before voting, the tax burden might just shift to those who can best afford to shoulder it.

The GOP didn't pass the Senate bill because there was $9 BILLION of pork spending that had absolutely NOTHING to do with Sandy relief. It was an excellent decision to nix it.

Now, the Democrat-controlled Senate had not passed a budget in 4 years...although the Republican-controlled House HAS each and every year. Now, WHO has no capacity to lead again?

[Nuh]

Now...fresh from CBS 'News' concerning this "solution" to the fiscal clift 'crisis'...

ADDITIONAL SPENDING - PORK ADDED

400 plus million for Hollywood
200 plus million for overseas rum
about 70 million for NASCAR

This marxist regime is not about controlling spending, it's about perpetual class warfare and symbolic solutions to one manufactured crisis after another.

$41 dollar tax increases for every $1 in cuts is not a real solution to a created crisis, it's just a ploy to destroy what's left of the country and move one step closer to a one party dictatorship.

Nice link. They figure that no minds will make decisions by only reading the headline.

Headline:

Rachel Maddow's Surge Is Fox News' Worst Ratings Nightmare

Actual story:

"The last batch of Nielsen data available before year's end shows Hannity's viewership getting chopped in half after November 6.

Reality: This decline simply brings Hannity back to pre-election norms.

Actual story:

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz — who both, of course, did not predict a Romney victory — have retained most of their viewership in the weeks following election night.

Retained most of their viewership? What happened to Rachel’s SURGE?

Trolling for morons.

Why it wasn’t just simply passed:

The Senate bill is for $60 Billion, of which only $47 is earmarked for the hurricane affected areas.
Also included are:
$5.3 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers that has no accompanying statement of priorities on how to spend the money
$11.7 billion to help repair New York City's subways;
$125 million for the Department of Agriculture's emergency program for restoring watersheds damaged by wildfires and drought;
$2 million for roof repairs at the Smithsonian Institution
$50 million in subsidies for tree planting on private properties.
$188 million for an Amtrak project to curb railroad bottlenecks in the Northeast.
$150 million for fisheries in Mississippi, Alaska and New England unrelated to Sandy; $821 million for dredging projects in areas hit by Sandy and other natural disasters; $20,000 to buy a new car for the Department of Justice's inspector general
$10.8 billion for the Federal Transportation Administration
$4 million for repairs at the Kennedy Space Center
$3.3 million for the Plum Island Animal Disease Center

BTW, Fema still has $4.3 BILLION to spend on hurricane damaged areas, so this spending bill is not critical.

The REAL problem is government Red Tape. Remember Obama going there and telling agencies to do away with the red tape? It was Obamashit.

http://cnsnews.com/blog/joe-schoffstall/sandy...

“FEMA “really hasn’t done much, if anything, and they’re making people go through a whole bunch of bureaucratic tape,” said one resident.

‘They need all the help they can get, and the red tape doesn’t help anyone. It only hurts and hinders and grows the problem,” another said.

Victims are shuffled from one desk to another for registration, an identification check, and one-on-one interviews – then referred to something called a “Mitigation Desk,” a FEMA official at a local Disaster Recovery Center explained.

“They have to go through SBA and see if they’re eligible or not. And, then, they come back to the grant program if they’re not eligible. So, one way or another, they’re going to be given the help for repair, replacement.”

MontCo school suspends 6-year-old for pretend gunshot

"The 6-year-old, who attends Roscoe R. Nix Elementary School in Silver Spring, made a gun with his hands, pointed it at another student and said "pow," according to Robin Ficker, the boy's attorney. He was given a one-day suspension, with a conference on the matter planned for Jan. 2, the day students return to school from winter break."

When the school officials are wound up this tight, why are we surprised when some of their students lose it?

[The Original Amused]

Watching CNN...

Republican representatives whose districts were hit by Sandy are livid over their own party's refusal to pass the relief bill. There goes the East Coast.

Yeah, most of that pork was for Alaska.........a very Red State!
Today Chris Christe(R) Gov. New Jersey, is finding out that Republicans eat their own, and it's Boehner who is the chef. "Bon Appetit"!
