Democrats stiffen spine against trimming benefits

J.C. Penney CEO Ron Johnson seems unfazed that the department store chain's mounting losses and sales declines have led to growing criticism of his plan to change the way we shop.

All of these right-wing losers need to understand that we won; President Obama won in a landslide with a mandate that basically says that he gets to do whatever he wants for the next 4 years.

DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!!

[WMCOL]

JC Penney, Bank of America, and Sears, should have gone out of business in the sixties. They have held on by the skin-of-their-teeth with their bad business practices.

[Makes sense]

It's like a parallel universe. Republicans act like we didn't just have an election and that they took a HUGE loss. I guess they'll only truly understand when they get their credit card bills next month and are shocked by how much they gave to ("invested in") Karl Rove. Suckers!! LOL

This fiscal cliff was written by k-street lawyers, now they wish to sue the doctor because the baby was born with two noses as a result of the mother eating genetically modified corn and wheat products.
The deep pockets are on k-street, go after them.

OCCUPATION Washington DC, looks where it is told to look and see what it is told to see.

I love Christmas lights! They remind me of.....
"the people who voted for Obama......."
They all hang together; half of them don't work,
and the ones that do, aren't all that bright!

We are entering the end of our democracy. It is well known that democracies die when more than half of the population is on the public dole, and start voting themselves benefits without working for them. As Romney said, we are at 47% who don't pay taxes, but do vote themselves all the benefits they can think of. The Hollywood Crowd and Main Stream Media (MSLSD, ABC, NBC, CBS) who helped Obama get elected twice think it's great! Let them be the first give up most of their money for their cause! So, where do we go from here. Usually, post democratic societies fall into socialism, a dictatorship and or fascism. A good example of this is Senate Majority leader Harry Reid. Reid wants to stop any and all opposition. Really?? That's exactly what socialist and dictatorships do! Either way, our world is changing: more taxes, more government control of our economy, less economic freedom, more taxes, and less choice in medical and other areas of our lives. Our economy starts looking more like Europe ( Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Italy). We will no longer have the financial strength to afford things like a strong military, a space program and good medical care and I could go on and on. You can move somewhere else, but most of the world is in the same or worse condition. Regardless of what happens, half of the population who voted for the status quo are going to get what they deserve. Unfortunately, the rest of us may have to suffer because of their ignorance!

It's too bad that the Pelosi/Reid 2007-2010 democrat-controlled congress overrode Bush's budgets to loot the treasury for $3 trillion and triple the deficit (from $161b to $455b). Of course Obama's increased that deficit TENFOLD. But's that's just fine with you. LOL!
And "Bush's recession"?! LOL! It was the democRATS' recession.

More benefits? Show us the money!!! IF it is sufficient, the democrats just may retain congressional control in 2014.

[Ninthman]

Democrats have no spine. They let Chris Stevens die.

[RayOne]

Ambassador Stevens and those who died were a bump in the road to this WH, Nancy & Reid.
And, it worked.

Do you know how stupid you are? Pay attention will you please and flip away from MSNBC once in a while to FOX. Get a little perspective and start thinking for yourself. Just because worst president in history was re-elected for the 2nd term does not automatically indicate that it's good for the country. Wait until there are no more risk takers and enough wealth to pay for all free "Santa Clause" stuff. Oh yeah, I forgot we already are in debt to the tune of $16 Trillion. Hope you learn to speak Chinese.

You are a simply a symptom of our problem, liberalism is the desease.
