You can see this with obama policies, he is feeding the free shit army with MY MONEY. I am ready for them, I am prepared for them.

If you are on welfare, medicaid, SSDI, food stamps you should not be allowed to vote. PERIOD.

Those people should not be able to vote. PERIOD. The free shit army is already slaves, and they voted for more slavery. Fuck them.
Yeah because your wonderfully beloved private sector has nothing to do with the lack of insurance, pensions, and quality jobs at all, right? You're a complete douchebag.

Oh and by the way, your money could not pay for more than half a family's worth of these benefits at most. We are all in this together. That is the point you and all the other brainwashed Limbaughites miss.

Scott Walker is going to face a real election day where the turnout will be quite different from the recall election. If the Dems run a decent candidate, buh bye.

As to Rand Paul, he is going nowhere. He is part of the Tea Party and that label has become toxic as the home of the lunatics, at least in national elections.
W0RD the Wisconsin DNC is working diligently on this very subject..BRB after I send them more cash.

He is a complete dochebag, but that doesn't change the reality that every job can not come with insurance, and a pension, or be a dream job.

I'll agree about the dream job part, but the rest doesn't necessarily follow from anything other than your preconceptions.

Funny thing about my success. I look at total compensation. Who pays me doesn't have to include any of that. But I will be compensated accordingly. That's why my 1099 rate is much higher.

Damn I love all that juicy mileage. Employer owes you nothing but market rate for your skills. Too bad the poor have no marketable skills. Not my problem.

Yes, Mr Obama won because more people voted for him. What a concept!

Spidey's section on tips.fbi.gov says he has been pretty behaved since the pics of steaming hot chik fil a nuggets and his handgun earlier this year. No tower climbing with rifles or nothing.

The sad thing is, Republicans will continue to blame poor people and minorities for costing them the election, when in fact they could have easily won had they not alienated moderate voters with their bullshit social agenda and voter suppression efforts. Run a clean race, take a moderate stance on abortion and immigration, focus on the economy, and kick out your wackos who say stupid shit about rape, and it would've been in the bag.

Well, yeh, but they can't repudiate their primary voting base, now can they? Can't throw them out, can't reason with them, either.

It's been easy enough to radicalize 'em, emotionally driven chumps that they are, but turning that around is a whole different feat entirely. They raised that beast from a cub, thought they'd always be able to control it, forgetting the insatiable & irrational nature of such things...
