SkyDekker 1,319 #51 November 12, 2014 Quotewhat site or who, tells you what to say or think? Yes, that is something you would think. The concept of thinking for yourself is quite foreign. All these "discussions" with you run along the same line. 1. you post some talking point you saw on a right wing website You get challenged on it. Often asked what you think for yourself 2. you come back with some more talking points dug up from some right wing website. When you are challenged again you just start posting one lines. Couple of emoticons etc. Then at the end you get so frazzled, you can't even imagine how people think for themselves. You kind of remind me of this "guy": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8BMkR-pVW0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JWest 0 #53 November 12, 2014 If you would pick the healthcare system in the US over say the healthcare system in Canada, then there is no point in even trying to convince you that the ACA is a sep in the right direction. I don't vote right often because too many of their policies are influenced by religious beliefs. I should add neither the left or right have is figured out. Our problems could be solved if we had a party that was left with social issues and right with financial issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have the preceding president who lied to go to war and kill thousands of Americans. You have made it clear which one you support. QuoteShameful Indeedexcept you are lying about bush but you should have posted this to kallend Denial is not just a river in Africa, Marc. Bush, Powell, Rice, Cheney and Rumsfeld all lied. Then we have Reagan who sold arms to Iran and lied about it, who armed the Contras and lied about it, who armed Osama bin Laden, and who raised the national debt by 181%, and the right considers him a hero. Name one politician that doesn't lie. How about the next election some rep from either party gets elected is the more truthful candidate. Of course if dems promote Hillary you're already screwed. I wouldnt believe a single word she says. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

winsor 227 #58 November 13, 2014 kallend (And despite Powell's admission, Marc Rush still believes Bush & Co told the truth) I dispute the suggestion that "Bush & Co" lied. In order to lie, one must have some glimmering of what the truth might actually be, and I have seen no indication that that crowd had any idea whatsoever what was or was not true. You are giving that group WAY more credit than it deserves. Hanlon's Razor applies here coming and going. BSBD, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't want to risk having the interverse get unbalanced or anything. All jesting aside, though, it does seem to me that there are quite a lot of people for whom "collateral damage" is not a mitigating factor for their ODS. People who would prefer a kinetic war with Iran over allowing Obama a foreign policy accomplishment, for example.

airdvr 201 #71 November 18, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvK3ziuPtOw QuoteAlthough Obama claims that Gruber was merely “some advisor” who “never worked on our staff,” Gruber is actually an MIT economist who helped create the Obamacare law. The Obama administration had paid Mr. Gruber $380,000 in 2009, cited him several times in hearings and White House blogs, and even dedicated a webpage to his expert analysis. Visitor logs show Gruber meeting repeatedly with senior officials at the White House including one meeting with President Obama. http://www.mrctv.org/blog/obama-obamacare-architect-was-just-some-adviser-who-never-worked-our-staff He'd lie when the truth would sound better.
