Good for Seattle or bad for employment?  Or -- who's actually gonna  benefit from this?!   [Hidden Content]

Would you like to be paid more?  Prolly so!  So why do you worry about other's getting paid more?  Again -- how does it personally effect?

We don't, actually.  Just showing you and others that there are biases on your side of the networks.

Never once ended the segment about obama's poll number dropping like a rock.

BigGirl, if you don't know the story, look it up.  democrats are the same through the years.  Revolving doors!     [Hidden Content]

Wealth has to be created first before it can trickle down.   BigGirl, let me ask you something -- when was the last time you asked a poor person for a job??

Killing jobs!  Even ticking the unions off.    [Hidden Content]

Liberals aren't apposed to other opinions, it just shocks the heck out of them that THERE ARE other opinions!  As Reagan once said, "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so!" We must all ask ourselves, especially our liberal friends here, do we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by our founding fathers? 

Have you checked what the EPA is doing lately? 

Watch the different treatment of Bush and obama!   [Hidden Content]

Steve -- how many ways can they say -- democrats good, Republcan bad?!    :D

When privite individuals, or companies, are forced to do something by the government, what would YOU call it?  By the way, obama has stated he wants single payer health care.  This is the first step.  One can't throw a frog in a boiling pot of water, he'll jump.  But -- if you start slow and then build up, well, sorry, it's too late. I just heard that the disgrazed mayor of San Diego, in congress at one time, said that they wanted obamacare to look like the VA.  The VA is SOCIALISM and is killing people.  You can wish for that type of system for you and your family, but as for mine, we'll stick with the best health care in the world that's run by the private sector.  That's why when the Republican tsunami happens in November, obamacare WILL be defunded!

Did you look up the Laffer Curve?   

Seriously?!   Check this link and get back with me if you think we still pay our bills.    [Hidden Content]

I was talking about Bush 2, not Bush 1. 

I'll say it's quite possible some taxes were raised while Reagan was President.  BUT -- I know of only one that he actively was involved in.  It was a deal with the Speaker (Democrat). That was his first mistake to think he could trust the Speaker's word.  The deal was, for every 1 dollar in new taxes the House would cut 2 dollars in spending.  Well, the taxes came but the spending cuts did not.  Couldn't even trust the Dems back then.  Any other taxes were offered by the House, I'm sure Reagan had to go along on some to get other things Reagan wanted.  I believe these were like cigarette and gas taxes. But -- the tax cuts that Reagan actively wanted -- and got -- was income tax reductions.  Again, like I've said before, revenue double into the treasury.  Was that money used to reduce the any deficits?  NO!!  The Dems, who controlled both Houses, SPEND the money and DID NOT use it to pay the bills. A little lesson on the adverse affects of high taxes, do a little research on the Laffer Curve.  Art Laffer advised Reagan...

BigGirl -- show me anywhere where Paul Krugman has said anything good about conservative policies.  Krugman is a commie-pinko extraordinaire!  I thought you were against biased stuff?!   ;)

Let's again not rewrite history.  Clinton had socialist leaning tendencies.  Remember he tried socialized medicine.  This, among other thing, swept the Republicans in office in 1994.  Any good pro-economic growth measures that got passed was done the the Republican majority's:  This was all done with him kicking and screaming all the way.  Look up "Triangulation" as it refers to Clinton.  I do give him credit for having enough sense to realize at the time the significance of the beating he took in the '94 election.  He did have executive experience and understood a few things.  This hollow suit, man-child we have now has never ran anything or hired anybody.  His only knows what hes read in books.  He, unlike Clinton, will not compromise with the other side of the isle.  Any room he walks into on any subject -- he is the least qualified man in the room!  And you think he's gonna turn this economy around?  It's been 6 years and the economy stinks.  It's because he doesn't have a clue!  If he does, the please show us where!

You didn't address the fact that during the Reagan years money doubled into the Treasury because of the tax cuts which spurred economic growth which spurred hiring.  More business' and more workers equal more taxes being paid because the business pool and job pool is bigger.  Do you see that going on now?  If you do, let us in on it.  Increase in welfare and food stamps does not grow a economy! PS -- Bush cut taxes and spurred economic growth for his six years.  Tax cuts work every time they are tried!

Oh my!    :o      Giving the left here a cardiac arrest!     :)    [Hidden Content]

obama released "five Afghan detainees from the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba."  These are hardened terrorist. The law "requires the administration to notify Congress before any transfers from Guantanamo are carried out." 5 of the most dangerous taliban commanders are being released!   [Hidden Content]   [Hidden Content]

Help us out, ChosenOne, what is obama doing to help the middle class?

By destroying jobs that would go to the middle class.  You think the rise in welfare and food stamp recipients are just the poor?  That's what bad economy's do.  It effects the middle class.  I've already stated that the economy had a negative growth for the 1st quarter.  How can jobs be created that way? 

You were complaining about people not paying enough taxes.  The point is, since you are obviously concerned, again -- how would it effect your life, one way or another, if you had your way and certain people would have to pay more taxes?  Or how does it effect your life if they pay less taxes?  Would it just make you feel better if they paid more?  Help us understand.  But -- I bet you are only talking about other people paying more taxes -- but not you, right?   So, if it doesn't effect you then why are you worrying about it??

Why are the inmates at Gitmo treated better than our veterans at the VA?   Think about it...
