Rob's House

PBS just had their two liberal anchors try to call out two R Governors with all the D talking points & the IA Governor handed them their asses. It was fun to watch.

So then, are you saying the Obama excuse that he couldn't save the economy because of Republican obstructionists in Congress is bull ****?

PBS is doing a good job of pitching the DNC response to every speech.

I'm not going to sit here & speculate what portion of what might or might not have been politically motivated. You still haven't offered any examples of blocked legislation that would have helped. We've already discussed the Obama "stimulus" so we don't need to rehash that, but I'd say the characterization of 30 years of deficit spending was somehow an endorsement of deficit spending as a catalyst to growth is false. But back to the issue (and f-u for making me defend Cantor), what legislation that would have helped has been blocked?

I'm still waiting to hear which proposals would have helped.

I wouldn't say he's regressed, just that he was injured last year. He was solid the previous year. I have no doubt he would be a valuable addition if healthy. Could be worth bringing him in & letting our staff check him out.

It's not that you are lying, it's just that you're giving a Michael Moore version of the truth. Obviously any party is vying to get back in power. Pointing that out is like exposing the well documented fact that water is wet. These "moderate" douche bag Republicans were the same ones who acted like Democrats through the Bush years making it virtually impossible to defend their fiscal policies & cost them dearly in 06 and 08. Where you really go off the tracks is assuming that the opposition to Obama had nothing to do with the content of his policies, as though any of these guys thought their opposition was somehow hindering recovery. This "obstructionist congress" is a convenient way for that Rock of a man, Obama, to shirk any responsibility for his failed policies. I would absolutely LOVE for someone to identify what specific legislation would have been the magic bullet if only they'd laid down & let Obama run the country as a de facto dictator. And claiming this bogus "stimulus" bill would have been universally accepted by people with economic recovery in mind is beyond absurd. Most rank-and-file fiscal conservatives knew the Bush "stimulus" was bull **** too - a temporary retroactive "tax cut" is more of a Keynesian measure than a Reaganesque supply-side strategy - & Obama's took the bull **** to a whole new level. At BEST Obama's is a pump priming measure that, as pump priming always does, failed. So while we'll all have our partisan glasses on to some extent, let's at least try to be honest, not only with each other, but also with ourselves.

Yeah, seems so. It was an honest question, then I read the rest of the thread. Were it not for the coherent sentence structure it could be the rantings of BF4E.

Trolling again?

I'm in Cantor's district & I can assure you, in his world Wayne Powell is about as worrisome as a cloudy day.

Ever notice how these dipshits always tout infrastructure, as thought there is anything particularly liberal or Democratic about infrastructure? It's kind of like me bitching about my wife running up the cc on shopping sprees only to have her mock me for suggesting she stop putting gas in her car as though it was that, rather than Macy's, I took issue with.

This whole outsourcing business is a joke. Anyone whose vote turns, even remotely, on outsourcing by Bain probably needs to wipe the drool off his chin.

American liberals really are the biggest pu$$ies the world has ever known. Well, except for the French.

How are the outcomes measured in your study? You really are a !@#$ing idiot. In fact, idiocy on this level isn't even worthy of explanation. If the imposition on one's will on another is the root of all evil, where does that put you?

How do you quantify that? I think it's commendable that you're willing to sacrifice for others (if you do), but I think your idealism here would be a net loss to society. It's nice that you're willing to make the sacrifice but it's unethical to impose that on others. If a doctor wants to pick and choose his patients that's his right, and the business he refuses creates an opening for a doctor who wants that business and/or is one of these do-gooders you believe are in great abundance who will make the required sacrifices for little return. You're also taking the decision away from those who would prefer to be treated by House rather than Dr. Quinn.

Of course you disagree. You're consistently in support of government coercing others to do what you consider to be the right thing.

That's it right there. I know I wasn't alone waiting with baited breath to hear his name called with our pick in the 3rd. I sighed with relief every time he slid by one of the teams in front of us in that round. And I believe in Fitz.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but this is what's passing for analysis at ESPN. http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/46846/whats-the-difference-between-young-jackson Basically several paragraphs just to say VY and TJ are the same guy without much explanation as to why.

There's really no way to put a positive spin on this for Crist. This is either political opportunism at it's worst or pouting and sticking it to his old party out of bitterniess; neither one of which says much for his character. If Romney were some radical right-wing extremist or Obama was a moderate centrist, or even if there was one key issue close to his heart, like national security or healthcare, he could play this off as genuine. But that's not the case. By all accounts Obama is a staunch left-winger, and there's no way that a guy his age goes from supporting Republican principles (moderate as he might have been) to supporting Obama virtually overnight. The guy's a phony. Crist and Colin Powell should hang out. Maybe they could run on a ticket together under a new "Statesman" party.

If Obama's really getting hard up for campaign funds, they could get everything Chris Matthews owns by auctioning off the right to give Obama a blow job.

I always hate discussing these drunk driving fatalities because logic is usually chucked out the window and emotion reigns supreme. Something terrible happens and simple minds need revenge. Anyone who's EVER driven drunk should probably STFU.

Has anybody gotten wind of Chris "Tingles" Matthews lately? He's cracking. He sounds like an angry chick who just snapped on someone for talking **** about her boyfriend. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0812/80190.html?hp=l3

I myself once dabbled in pacifism. Not in Nam, of course.

On a second read through his words don't seem so bad. Maybe I'm reacting more to the tone of the article than his actual words. I'm still a little bummed b/c I'd much rather see him fight Sonnen, who's in the twilight of his career and would be an interesting match-up, than Vitor Belfort, but I can't blame Jones for that.

Because with multiple chances on some pretty decent teams he's never been able to put together a very good season. Or even a very good stretch for that matter. In MN he could barely move the ball. Favre came in and was nearly unstoppable.
