Tea party schme party....it shows there has been a consitant attempt to derail all attempts at improvements WITHOUT alternative propositions that are achievable...
It's become too easy and too prevelant for parties to sit across the aisle from each other and use that as a demaricatiion line....if something is good on one side, then it has to be bad on the other side. No compromises, no consideratin for the American publs or our future. POLITICS SUCK !!!!!!!
Joebxr, you actually put these two sentences in the same post. You've made the decision or "demarcation" that republican propositions were unachievable, while at the same time stating that if something is "good" on one side of the aisle, then it has to be "bad" on the other side.
YOU ALREADY DECIDED THAT REPUBLICAN PROPOSITIONS ARE BAD AND UNACHIEVABLE. You are guilty of your own accusations!LMAO
The proof is the government has had the Fed printing money since Obama took office to artificially pump up the economy and when the money runs out our economy is going to go into a deep recession or depression. That will be a real success, not.

That is pretty good double speak.
I guess you have to have things S P E L L E D O U T for you...sorry I can't add cartoon pics for comprehension. UNACHIEVABLE becuase everything they proposed was one sided with no compromise possible. It was there way or no way...and pay close attention here, I am not favoring on side or the other with this comment....how hard is that to understand? And hand in hand with that, DEMARCATION....tell me how that is wrong...left side makes proposal/right side automatically says no....read about it everyday....what part of that don't you understand?
Politicians need to get a wake up call...dump their asses and get a bunch of new crew in there replacing all those that don't make any attempt to listen to the people....kinda like the planning committe person that didn't cae what the people had to say about CVS becuase he had his own agenda.
So once again, don't use your words to redefine mine....I'll be sure to post more details next time to try and help you understand....but no cartoons, sorry DOG!

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what...These are people who pay no income tax."
He adds: "My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." Mittens Romney
"It's hard to serve as president for all Americans when you've disdainfully written off half the nation." Obama's reply.

Romney: Nearly half 'believe they are victims' Published - Sep 17 2012 06:29PM EST KASIE HUNT, Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Already scrambling to steady a struggling campaign, Republican Mitt Romney confronted a new headache Monday after a video surfaced showing him telling wealthy donors that almost half of all Americans "believe they are victims" entitled to extensive government support. He added that as a candidate for the White House, "my job is not to worry about those people." President Barack Obama's campaign quickly seized on the video, obtained by the magazine Mother Jones and made public on a day that Romney's campaign conceded it needed a change in campaign strategy to gain momentum in the presidential race.
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what," Romney is shown saying in a video posted online by the magazine. "There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it."
"Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax," Romney said.
Romney said his role "is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
Romney's campaign did not dispute the authenticity of the video, instead releasing a statement seeking to clarify his remarks. "Mitt Romney wants to help all Americans struggling in the Obama economy," spokeswoman Gail Gitcho said. "He is concerned about the growing number of people who are dependent on the federal government."
About 46 percent of Americans owed no federal income tax in 2011, although many of them paid other forms of taxes. More than 16 million elderly Americans avoid federal income taxes solely because of tax breaks that apply only to seniors, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.
Obama's campaign called the video "shocking."
"It's hard to serve as president for all Americans when you've disdainfully written off half the nation," Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in a statement.
The private remarks are the latest in a string of comments from the multimillionaire Republican businessman whom Democrats have criticized as out of touch. During the primary campaign, Romney insisted that he was "not concerned" about the very poor, said he knew what it felt like to worry about being "pink-slipped," and said that his wife drove a "couple of Cadillacs." Aides to Obama's campaign said the latest video would help them continue to make the case that Romney doesn't understand the concerns of average Americans.
Voters say they believe Obama has a better understanding of their problems and concerns than Romney does. A CBS/New York Times poll showed 60 percent of likely voters said Obama understands the needs and problems of people like them, while 37 percent said he did not. For Romney, the same question found that 46 percent felt he did understand people's needs, 48 percent said he didn't.
The remarks came at a closed-door fundraiser that Mother Jones reported occurred after Romney had clinched the GOP nomination. To protect the identity of the person who provided the remarks, Mother Jones blurred out the video and did not provide the date or location of the fundraiser. Romney formally clinched the nomination May 29 and formally accepted it last month at the Republican convention in Tampa.
Many of the Americans who owe no income tax are reprieved because basic exemptions — such as the "standard deduction" — took their taxable income below the cutoff levels. The other half rely mainly on a variety of tax breaks, such as the credit that helps offset child care costs.
These Americans range from the very poor to solidly middle-class families with jobs, homes, cars and vacations. The Tax Policy Center says "relatively few nontaxable households" have incomes exceeding $100,000; families that make between $50,000 and $100,000 often owe no income tax because of breaks for their kids and for education.
Americans who pay no federal income tax still often pay an array of other taxes. They include payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, sales taxes, property taxes and state and local taxes.
A handful of extremely wealthy families do not pay federal income taxes. This summer the Internal Revenue Service reported that six of the 400 highest-earning households in America owed no federal income tax in 2009.
Still, many are low-income Americans. According to the August 2010 AP-GfK poll, a majority of Americans who make less than $30,000 a year are Democrats. But 27 percent identify as Republicans, and 15 percent say they're independents. About 57 percent say they will vote for Obama, while 38 percent back Romney. About 43 percent identify themselves as conservatives.
Obama faced a similar moment in the 2008 campaign, when he told donors that many Americans who are angry about their struggles "cling to their guns or religion."
Romney's running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, made reference to that remark Monday at a campaign event in Des Moines, Iowa.
"I remember that one time when he was talking to a bunch of donors in San Francisco and he said people like us, people from the Midwest like to cling to their guns and religion," Ryan said.
Ryan went on: "And I've got to tell you this Catholic deer hunter is guilty as charged and proud to say so. That's just weird. Who says things like that? That's just strange."

I don't want them to 'worry' about me....just make sure the machine runs.....when they 'worry' it becomes nothing more than church pew politics and all about feelings rather than logic/reason....
it stands to reason there will always be people who:
think you have too much money think you have too little money think you are stupid think you are smart think you are funny think you are boring think you don't know how to take care of yourself think they can take care of you better think your choice is bad think your choice is good
blah blah blah blah.....
but they will never tell you any more than THE LEAST WE CAN DO.....BLAH BLAH BLAH.....
GROUP HUG NOW.....OH, wait, has everyone taken their zoloft?
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
I'm not sure it's a matter of not worrying about you as much as it is that you don't count and are not on his radar screen as a concern... i.e. your needs and concerns are not a consideration of his. That's my intrepretation.

A new Pew Research survey finds that just 26% of those who have followed news on the attacks on U.S. embassies in the Middle East approve of Mitt Romney's comments on the situation, while 48% disapprove.
In contrast, 45% approve of President Obama's handling of the recent turmoil, while 36% disapprove.
All that poll says is that 45% of the people polled were fooled by the Obama administrations lies about the attacks.
As the truth continues to come out and the Middle East continues to erupt in violence, folks will see that Governor Romney was absolutely correct.

Deadly embassy attacks were days in the making by Sara Lynch and Oren Dorell, USA TODAY Updated 5d 1h ago CAIRO -- Days of planning and online promotion by hard-line Islamist leaders helped whip up the mobs that stormed the U.S. Embassy in Egypt and launched a deadly attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya that killed an ambassador and three others.
A man looks at documents at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, after an attack that killed four Americans. The graffiti reads, "no God but God," "God is great," and "Mohammed is the Prophet."
As the U.S. tightened security worldwide at embassies and Libya's president apologized for the attack, details emerged of how the violence began, according to experts who monitor Egyptian media.
Christopher Stevens, 52, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, was killed, along with three other Americans, on Tuesday night when a mob of protesters and gunmen stormed the embassy in the eastern city of Benghazi.
In response, the Obama administration sent an anti-terrorism detail of Marines to reinforce security at U.S. diplomatic facilities, and the Pentagon said two warships were moving toward the Libyan coast.
The killings in Libya followed demonstrations in front of Cairo's U.S. Embassy, where protesters tore down the U.S. flag and scaled the embassy's wall.
The protest was planned by Salafists well before news circulated of an objectionable video ridiculing Islam's prophet, Mohammed, said Eric Trager, an expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
The protest outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo was announced Aug. 30 by Jamaa Islamiya, a State Department-designated terrorist group, to protest the ongoing imprisonment of its spiritual leader, Sheikh Omar abdel Rahman. He is serving a life sentence in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. http://www.usatoday.com/news/w.....he-making/57752828/1
