Obama Supporters Are Arrogant »
Posted By libsRfunny 4 months ago in NewsIt's astonishing that these people touting Obama as a uniter are so blind to their own bilious hatred and divisiveness. They called Bush a Nazi, derided Condoleezza Rice as "Brown Sugar" and "Aunt Jemima," and labeled John Ashcroft a "witch burner."

"The hypocrisy and absence of self-reflection of this group -- mostly the mainstream media and the leftist cabal of the Democratic Party -- is born of its profound arrogance."
Arrogance with a capital 'A'! Obama has zero respect for the working man, and neither do his supporters.

libsR: Well to some confidence is seen as arrogant, especially if you have a dim view of said group to begin with.
But unemployment has risen to 5.5%, highest it has been in 20 years;,5th straight month in a row that jobs are lost; 49,000 in May, oil jumped $15 in 2 days and somehow this will be Dems fault as they have a slim majority in the house, and it has been Reps that have had the control for the last 20-25 years.
Time for a change don't you think.

Or is it due to Rep mistakes.
I asked you why your Mexicam border was such a sieve when from 1992-2006 you had a Rep congress and senate and from 2000-2006 a Rep Pres who was also Gov of Texas before that; your answer to that was; Are you bad mouthing Hispanics, Hannibal.
Instead I do see a highway proposal to my country but through yours.
And yet somehow it is always the Dems fault; everything
When will Reps stand up and shoulder much of the blame, it is not all one sided as these threads show.
Not all is black and white, there are many shades of grey

House was GOP from 1995 to 2007, Senate from 1995 to 2001, 2003 to 2007.

Not only have I sunk this so-called story, but I reported it under the "inciteful" category. Here's my comments:
"How is this a poltical story, and not just an opinion, and an inciteful one at that? Didn't there used to be a section on Netscape where opinions could be shunted, away from real stories? This is neither news nor politics, and as such, should be removed from the are where real events are being dicussed. IMHO, of course."
I always believe in being perfectly upfront and honest when I am so completely dissatisfied with a post that it needs to be reported, in addition to being sunk.
Just wish I could sink it lower.

Well you may actually have a chance since you are a liberal and this story runs counter to the direction Libscape employees seem to want this site to take
However, I have reported much more "inciteful" stories than this (the usual Populist stuff) with zero luck. Hell, the "story" (video) of Bill O'Riley going off 20 YEARS AGO was re-posted COUNTLESS times under different titles over a three week period and, to my knowledge, all were allowed to remain.

Ohh for crying out loud; quite splitting hairs; so I missed 2 years in the house and 4 years in the senate, try answering the question; as Gov of Texas nothing was done and from 95-2007 (minus 2 years of senate) and a Pres to boot nothing was done.
Mind you he has kept you safe from attack, even with that non-border and you believe that.
Why the $1.5 Billion proposal to Mexico from shrub to fight drug cartels if the borders are so secure.

I my opinion BOTH paties have been abysmal failures as far as the border is concerned
BOTH parties want cheap labor and Hispanic votes
Even as unemployment increases, neither party will admit that many jobs taken by illegals are needed by unemployed US citizens

One reason:
The entrenched welfare state. Yeah, welfare reform was cool, but nothing was done about the rest of the welfare state. My ex-sister-in-law is a perfect example. Three kids, all different daddied, never married, never needed a job because she's convinced a couple of doctors that she's "mentally ill." Now her days are spent watching tv, going to the park, having fun... her rent is paid, she gets food stamps, FREE medical, cash support... and child support, which the State of California does not count towards qualifying. I own a business that grosses $750K/year, employ six full timers, and she has almost as much extra spending money as I have!
That "free" stuff is a big enticement to people used to living on very little.

If by worthwhile, do you mean is our country embroiled in an illegal, unjust war, or perhaps in the middle of an economic melt down, I guess not.
And by the way, buy a thesaurus. If you plan to continue being the rude and obnoxious person you have been in the past, the least you could do is become somewhat more creative in your diatribes.
Using the word "ignorance" twice in three sentences speaks volumes on your lack of imagination while it pretty much describes your natural state .

This campaign has been absolutely chock full of ironies
Look at everyone who keeps saying Obama must unify the Democrats - but WHY is the party not unified?
Go take a look at the websites and blogs that supported Obama. They are full of vitriol aimed at Hillary Clinton and her supporters
Then go read the blog on HillaryClinton.com
A recurring theme - her supporters are upset at the nasty and vile things said about them on sites and blogs that supported Obama
So the Obama supporters created the hard feelings among Hillary's supporters to the point that many of them will not vote for Obama
Now the Obama supporters expect Obama to fix the very divisions they created with their hatred
Amazing isn't it?

"only produced an illicit affair between two consenting adults"
That illicit affair is called sexual harassment. It only matters if one is above the other in the workplace. If so that one is guilty even if the other one started and wanted it. People went to jail and paid heavy fines for that. That was the law that the NOW people fought for and won. Then their boy Bill did it and they clammed up.
Clinton then committed perjury after conspiring to commit perjury.
The Whitewater investigation sent several people to jail including a governor of Arkansas. How many people have to go to jail for an investigation to be successful?
Why do you rewrite history and play down what happened.

Want to blame Dumya's debt of 11 trillion on the Dems too? Dumya's FEC changed the rules in 2004 to drop collateral to back wall street transactions ... to give us today's failings! Repug congress threw out all the anti-monoply laws of the 1930s too! Dumya has always said business can control itself best... How corrupt and ignorant of facts can you get?

Bush is a spendaholic, 'tis true, but the Wall Street problems, and most economic problms, are the result of the Federal Reserve's artificial inflation of the money supply beyond the increase in goods and services and the Federal government's propensity to choose, through tax policy, winners and losers in the economy. The first makes things appear less expensive than they are in real value (for awhile) and the second allows less efficient companies to defeat more efficient ones, thus lowering overall productivity. Both major parties are to blame for these.

While the Republicans have been in control of both houses of Congress prior to 2007 for only about 13 years. It appwears that it did not take long for the Dems once in power to really mess it up. Note the Average Gas prices in the US in Jan of 2007 look at them today. Now note that the Democrats ran one a ticket in which one plank was that if given power in Congress they would do something about high gas prices. it appears they did, they made them higher. Return production to the US lets start drilling here. Now before you give the excuse that it will take year for the oil to get into the supply. That was the same thing they were saying a decade ago. Now if we had done it then, would Oil be at over $120 a barrel today?

Yes.
Interesting that the self proclaimed Great Unifier is in reality the Great Divider.
I find it fascinating that a Presidential candidate that is so politically inexperienced in national and international affairs and is very divisive along racial and gender lines still has a genuine shot at the POTUS job.
There must be a lot of Kool-Aid being dumped into the nation's water supply for this one to slip by.

Why thank you Comrade donald51. I feel honored.
I find your implication that Bush is the same as Hitler interesting.
If you remember, Hitler was a very, very good and effective orator which, lets face it, Bush is not. (Poor Pres Bush, he can't even say 'Happy Birthday' with out getting into a knife fight with our version of the English language.)
However Sen OBama is an excellent orator. So should Comrade Sen OBama be equated to Hitler?
Also initially Hitler was very big on appeasement and talking to Germany's foes about mending fences and disarmament. You remember what happened after that; WW2 in all of its infamous glory with Hitler inititally talking peace and love.
There is an old saying that evil presents itself as a gentleman not a bumpkin.
You draw your own interesting conclusions.
I'm sure they will be creative.
As for sycophants it appears that Teflon d'Obama has more than anyone else; how else could he say so little and go so far if not for them

Bill, you forget Cheney's secret energy metting with the likes of Ken Lay? You forget the Repug Energy Bill threw out many energy regulations to include all the anti-monopoly laws? The Repug Congress refused to even look at why California was chaeged 400% during their last crisis. You forget the repugs even put into the laws that groups can't negotiate lower prices (medicare Prescription)? You forget how the Big oil CEOS didn't even have to pledge to tell the Repug Congrss the truth under Ted Stevens? Are you blind to Dumya just twidling his thumbs on this whole matter? Do you selectively deny that the repugs refused to put higher gas mileage standards on the car industry and it was only the Dem Congress that forced a more accurate appraisal of gas mileage?
How many facts do you have to ignore before you are so un-American you must be a terrorist?

"But unemployment has risen to 5.5%"
Not the highest in 20 years. It was the highest single-day rise in 20- years - by a mere half percent. It's the highest rate in five years. If you think an idiot like Obama can change things, you have no knowledge of economics and how socialist policies stifle economic growth.
Oil prices, unfortunately, are based on a global market. If Dems have any blame, it's for refusing to allow drilling in ANWR and elsewhere. Interesting to see a Canadian taking so much interest in U.S. politics. Don't they have anything going on in your neck of the woods?
"Reps that have had the control for the last 20-25 years."
More ignorance. Republicans controlled Congress for about a decade -- about half that time while Clinton was in the White House.
Dems have had control of Congress for two years and completely fell apart. If there is any change to be had, it's getting rid of Pelosi and Reid and putting Republicans back in control of Congress.

Emanuel's War Plan for Democrats
The Book of Rahm
..the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), Congressman Rahm Emanuel, had worked hard to guarantee that Democratic candidates in key toss-up House races were pro-war...
..In 2006, no matter which party controls the House, a majority will be committed to pursuing the war on Iraq--despite the fact that the Democratic rank and file and the general voting public oppose the war by large margins...
.. The war on Iraq benefited Israel by laying waste a country seen to be one of its major adversaries. Emanuel's commitment to Israel (4) and his Congressional service to it are not in doubt...

First, Emanuel is a mysterious fellow, as evidenced by his biography (3). But there are a few things missing or not fully explained. First, as is often pointed out, Emanuel's physician father was an Israeli émigré; but, according to Leon Hadar, he also worked during the 1940s with the notorious Irgun, which was labeled as a terrorist organization by the British authorities.(6) Perhaps Rahm's current interest in terrorism was first kindled at his father's Irgun knee.
Second, during the 1991 Gulf War, Emanuel was a civilian volunteer in Israel, "rust-proofing brakes on an army base in northern Israel." This is peculiar on two counts. Here the U.S. goes to war with Iraq, but Emanuel, a U.S. citizen, volunteers not for his country, but for Israel. Moreover, here is a well-connected Illinois political figure with a father who had been in the Irgun, but he is assigned to "rust-proof brakes" on "an army base." Maybe.

The loathsome smearing of Israel's critics

The inflation rate climbed higher each year he was in office, rising from 6 percent in 1976 to more than 12 percent by 1980; unemployment remained high at 7.5 percent; and volatile interest rates reached a high of 20 percent or more twice during 1980. Both business leaders and the public at large blamed Carter for the nation's economic woes, charging that the president lacked a coherent strategy for taming inflation without causing a painful increase in unemployment.
The faltering economy was due in part to the energy crisis that had originated in the early 1970s as a result of overdependence on foreign oil.

And what did we learn from that entire mess? NOTHING
Were we serious about energy independence then or since?
What solutions are we getting now - corn/ethanol. Is that going to work when we consume 20 million barrels/day with ~2.5 million barrels used for gasoline
Carter and every administration since then failed to learn any lesson. As I recall Carter came on TV wearing a sweater and sitting in front of a roaring fireplace. Congress has not been any better
There is plenty of blame to go around and it is bipartisan
The only group who has come up with a strategy for energy independence is the Blue Dog Democrats and they have been ignored by both sides of the aisle. The Blue Dog strategy dealt with short term and long term goals.
Too bad the rest of Congress continues to flounder around and only tries to make it look like they are doing something

"Carter recommended a .50 gas tax to be used solely for research and development of lessening our dependence on foreign oil"
Really? Not according to an article that appeared in 1979
Carter instructed Budget Boss James McIntyre to draw up a detailed plan for a tax that might work. McIntyre's proposal was sent for consideration and amendment last week to the White House's economic policy group, which includes Treasury Secretary Miller, VP Walter Mondale, Economic Adviser Charles Schultze, Domestic Adviser Stuart Eizenstat and McIntyre.
The group favored a high tax but could not agree on the particulars. So each member sent a separate proposal to Carter. The differences revolve around the size and timing of the tax and how to distribute the projected $50 billion in revenues that it would collect. One popular idea is to rebate perhaps $40 billion to workers and employers in the form of lowered Social Security and income tax levies.

Well nostaliga, you seem to be stuck in ancient propaganda. What you forgot to tell us was that Carter's record on wages, economic growth and jobs was better than Reagan. AND, Carter did not introduce structural fleecing of average americans by transferring most wealth to the supre-rich. You also forgot to mention that one of the reasons for the inflation was that Nixon ran up enormous debts when he ran his years of the Vietnam war on borrowings (just like bushie now - we will see bush's inflation for many years yet).

Clueless in the extreme. The STANDARD for unemployment has been 26 weeks since LBJ. On occasion, Congress has added an extra 13 and up to 26 weeks in high unemployment states, as the GOP Congress did in 2003.
Also, everyone seems ignorant of how the unemployment rate is actually calculated, throwing in hogwash about those whose unemployment runs out, etc. It is calculated using the CPS of 60,000 families. It is completely independent of Unemployment Insurance. Claims could go up or down while the rate does the opposite.
