Quote: thecesspitIllegal Immigrants obviously means something different in the US. Just like the word 'liberal' does, eh? :D
Pretty soon, "illegal immigrant" is going to mean the same thing as "US citizen". lol...

Its still a ship stuck in the ice.
No, it's a ship stuck in the ice in the middle of

and it's not, it's increasing. Do you know how screwed
we'll be if another Ice Age is coming? We know those
happen, there's no argument from anybody that
they've happened many times. And they happen fast,
in decades.

I watch it just to see Kimberly. Her and I are
fated to be together one day..
Quote: Beethoven9thThat's my point. The media loves to insert "Tea Party" into whatever (usually bad) story they can, but they never do that when it comes to liberal causes.
Really. Hmm, interesting. The recent stories concerning the tea party that I have seen concern upcoming primary elections and challenging the repub incumbent. All these stories are pretty straight forward. That's all I've really seen lately in the media concerning the tea party. What are some of the "usually bad" stories are you reading?
by the way, thanks for no facepalm, its really getting overused.
The most famous example is ABC's Brian Ross reporting that there was "a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado...on the Colorado Tea party site" after the Aurora shooting.Quote: terapinedWhat are some of the "usually bad" stories are you reading?
Name ONE similar example where a liberal group was brought up out of the blue after a tragedy. (You can't)
I agree, that's why you should stop writing facepalm-worthy posts. ;)Quote: terapinedby the way, thanks for no facepalm, its really getting overused.

Quote: s2dbakerCheck it out, Ted Cruz is going for full United States of America citizenship instead of his halvesies status that he has now. A least that's what he says. He'd be cray-cray to give up his excellent Canadian health care but then again, he is cray-cray.
So, is it a mental health issue? That's the only valid reason that I can think of for Ted Cruz not dropping his home country's citizenship.
Yet another reason why Democrats will dominate future elections. Voter fraud will be that much easier!

Yup , Foxnews is no better then say MSNBC, all part of the lame stream media.
The supposed North Korean execution by 120 dogs. cmon. 120 dogs? Who had time to count. lol
Is the story so outrageous that all the lame stream media, including Foxnews, reports this.
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/01/03/north-korean-leader-feeds-uncle-to-starving-dogs-reports-say/
How come Chinese and South Korean media are not all over this like the lame stream media like Fox, Because they live in that part of the world and the story is nonsense.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2014/01/03/no-kim-jong-un-probably-didnt-feed-his-uncle-to-120-hungry-dogs/
Don't watch Foxnews, don't watch MSNBC, all lame stream.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama admitted they opposed Iraq troop surge only to look good politically, claims former defense secretary Robert Gates in damning new book
BTW, this could be a major problem for Hillary in 2016.

Politicians making decisions based on politics is news? lol
This will be ancient news in 2016.
fail
I see Foxnews stands by the ridiculous 120 dogs story.
At least CNN, Msnbc and Wash Post is backing off the ridiculous story.
Fox, they hate N Korea, they stand by their rumor story. lol
Quote: terapinedPoliticians making decisions based on politics is news? lol
It's pretty sad that you find it funny that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton based their decisions (which affected American lives) on politics. *facepalm*
Why would Barack or Shrillary be any different?
Quote: terapinedThings are not looking good for Christie in 2016
Realistically, things were NEVER looking good for Christie in 2016.
Republican primary voters would never choose him out of all of the potential candidates, he's way too "liberal" for primary voters.
Quote: ams288Realistically, things were NEVER looking good for Christie in 2016.
Christie jumped the shark when he held Barry's hand
(literally held his hand) on the beach after the hurricane.
He can't be trusted now, Barry's treachery rubbed off
on him.
Quote: terapinedIts not funny. Its reality.
Try living in the REAL world. Its a facinating world when you deal with reality rather then fantasy.
Take NJ Gov Christie.
Typical lib tactic. You can't defend Benghazi, so you have to change the subject to Chris Christie.
Has Shifty been giving you lessons? lol...
Quote:At the annual State of American Business Address on Wednesday, U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas J. Donohue announced that the chamber plans on endorsing against some tea party members in Republican primaries.
“In 2014, the chamber will work to protect and expand a pro-business majority in the House and advance our position and our influence in the Senate,” Donohue said. “The business community understands what’s at stake.”
Donohue explained in an interview with Bloomberg, that while he is skeptical of big government, he opposes politicians who have “hitched their trailer to the tea party wagon.” Donohue blames these lawmakers for shutting down the government in October 2013.

OTOH, the hardline tea party candidates might be the best thing to happen to the Democrats, so maybe the Tea Party folks doubling down would be fine too.

So the Democrats losing the House was one of the best things that ever happened to them?
I still ask anyone who is anti-Tea Party, what part of Constitutionalism is it that you are against?

I'm looking at long term benefits. Kind of like how you feel about Obama. Some people didn't know him, so it's fair to say you can't use that excuse anymore if they would or wouldn't support him now (even though he can't run).
Tea Party is becoming a known quantity.
I am in support of living constitutionalism.
Wow, it's good to know that 4 dead Americans don't "matter" to you. *facepalm*Quote: s2dbakerRemember when the only thing that mattered was BENGHAZEEEEE?
Quote: rxwinethe Democrats don't really have any significant faction of people that are extreme
Quote: terapinedThe Democrats have the senate due to the tea party :-)
Not really. Dems captured the House before the Tea Party was conceived.
Quote:Dems got majority of votes in the house. Repubs won house due to gerrymandering. Repubs got less then 50 per cent vote adding up all House election totals.
Sorry, but not true. We do not have "at large" House voting. Of course there will be more votes for House members in a large state like California than a small state like Wyoming.
Quote: rxwine

This is another way of saying you support the cult of personality of the moment and support no constitution of any type. The Constitution is a contract between the government and the people. You do not change the meaning of a contract to fit the moment. If you want it changed you go through the proper procedure and change it.
"Living Constitution" is a cute term that sounds nice, but is really a recipe for tyranny.
Quote: s2dbakerRemember when the only thing that mattered was BENGHAZEEEEE? Funny how the right wing shuts up when there's an actual scandal among their top chosen leaders.
You are wrong. There have already been a few comments that say negative things about Christie and I am going to add to them--part of being a good leader is surrounding yourself with people that will resist the temptation to do stupid things. There are lots of temptations to being "powerful"--you can be nasty and get away with it most of the time (did Rahm suffer too much for the fish trick?)--but you can't have people around you who are nasty or vindictive enough to do something like these aides did. Political nastiness is one thing; hurting constituents is another.
Heads are rolling--which is good--how often has a head rolled in the President's administration when their was a scandal?
We'll see how Christie gets through this. It is early in "the season" so he may rebound fully or it could be deeper and more nasty tricks could be exposed. He's not my favorite among the candidates.
Quote: terapinedDems got majority of votes in the house. Repubs won house due to gerrymandering. Repubs got less then 50 per cent vote adding up all House election totals.
It never matters who got the most votes in the House as a party. Ever. Each representative runs in his own area and that is the only vote total that matters. We already screwed up by changing the way Senators are chosen; what you are saying sounds like some kind of a reason to elect representatives differently.
Gerrymandering? It has worked for both parties. You can't really "blame" an election on something that has been happening for a long time that is only a problem if the other side is doing it!!

De Blasio Says Christie’s Bridge Scandal ‘Raises Bigger Questions’ About His Leadership
I would hope that the reaction would have been the same from any mayor of New York.
And of course, Democrats are going to lash out to try to score political points, just like the Republicans do.
It's politics as usual.
So this bothers libs, but 4 dead Americans (including a sitting ambassador) doesn't?? *facepalm*Quote: boymimboAnd yeah, someone died because of the traffic snarl.
Quote: boymimboThe Whitehouse likely was not responsible for the IRS scandal
You're so right about that, yet you don't even know it. LOL!Quote: boymimboIt's politics as usual
First, the IRS "scandal" is about the IRS enforcing it's own rules which it actually didn't do. All of the teabag groups that applied for 501(c)(3) status got their 501(c)(3) status when they shouldn't have. It was the liberal groups that actually got denied their 501(c)(3) status. This is just a case of Congressman Grand Theft Auto looking for something, anything even tangentially related to the executive branch that he could then shake his fist in fury at. Darrell Issa need not be taken seriously.Quote: boymimboUnlike the IRS scandal, the actions of the governor's action affected residents of the mayor's city negatively directly. And yeah, someone died because of the traffic snarl.
Second, the lady who died, her daughter thinks it was her time and I believe her. Although it will be fun to see the campaign ads in the Republican primary accusing him of doing it, I don't think that Chris Christie murdered an elderly woman. Considering the Republican base, the ad should be very effective. Further, I think Maddow made a great observation last night. The retribution against Fort Lee wasn't about the lack of endorsement, it was about the New Jersey Supreme Court appointee that Christie yanked because he didn't want her to face a hearing in the Senate controlled by Democrats, the chairwoman of which represents Fort Lee. On August 12th, Christie called her an animal in a presser and then on the morning of August 13th, the email went out to Wildstein at the Port Authority from the girl in Christie's office telling him to make some traffic problems happen in Fort Lee. To which the reply was "Got It", not "What heck are you talking about". There was some pre-planning involved here.
Lawrence O'Donnell hit the nail on the head though. All that the girl in Christie's office has to say is three words and Christie's career is over. "The Governor Knew". The next few months should be a lot of fun.
As far as the way he handles things and people in matters related to his office, I do expect there will be some scrutiny of how he talks about people no matter what the outcome of the investigation is. I don't think we need a "mean" President; we need one who can lead and get things done by bringing people together.
I do hope my friends on both sides of the spectrum (and in the middle!!) understand that the only honest way to handle situations like this is to hold off on judgement, have a proper investigation, and punish any wrongdoers. We're a long way from that standard right now and we accept it because we don't want "our side" to be hurt.

And the whole thing was because the Heritage Foundation wrote a piece suggesting 501(c)(3) groups I'll bet!
That's a bet that you would lose. You should do some research before you post. Then people wouldn't think you to be the low information voter that you are.Quote: AZDuffmanAnd the whole thing was because the Heritage Foundation wrote a piece suggesting 501(c)(3) groups I'll bet!
Huh? Do you even know what you're talking about? Chris Christie is directly related to the thread, bro!Quote: terapinedHmm, I see mr B9 is playing mr tangent. lol

I predict the next B9 post will be a rant on Benghazi
See, you're so defensive that you automatically assumed that I was defending Christie. I'm not. I can't stand the guy, but you can't even see that because you have the blinders on. Kinda like this guy:

Changing a quote and attributing it to the member you are supposedly quoting without saying what you have done (at a minimum) should be grounds for a suspension.
Has that happened?
After all, in that Double Down book Mitt Romney's VP vetting team said if they were running against him he'd never be able to hold political office again with all the skeletons in his closet.
