Dems: As arrogant as ever?

[Steeplerot]

Pretty funny that the minority party thinks because they have a small majority in 1/3 of the government in a tough election during a recession means the majority party getting things done is arrogant! LOL

The republicans are still hated. And will be for many more years, and will get even worse once the senile foxnews cultists pass on.

Irrelevant folks calling others arrogant. Pure comedy

Guess you didn't pay attention in November's historic landslide? Yeah, irrelevant. You're displaying the arrogance of the democrats. But by all means, please keep it up.

Don't mistake childishness for arrogance. Watch any two year old and you'll see the exact same behavior.

I agree, facts are inconvenient; reality really does have a liberal bias, as Stephen Colbert once famously said.

I'm not arguing the fact that the majority of people have been brainwashed into this class warfare agenda by the libs. I see and hear it every day.

Last desperate gasps of the donkey's before they are booted.

The only people that look like asses in this thread are you and the OP. :awe:

...the Senate wants to ram through the OMNIBUS spending bill that no one has read and costs some $500 mill per page??? On the weekend before Christmas weekend?

It's a 'last gasp' before giving up a considerable chunk of power to the Repubs.

IMO, most of the Omnibus is a 'Trojan Horse' hiding the billion in Obama care funding. I understand they've been doing the temp funding resolution since February, so there's no valid need to rush thousands of pages through at the last minute.

It's well known the Repubs plan to 'attack' ObamaCare by not funding it. I think Reid was trying to out-manoeuver them by providing a billion now.

I think it as much 'trickery' as anything. But the ploy of stuffing the bill full of Repubs earmarks shows he either doesn't care or is oblivious to the voters' will as expressed in Novemeber. Repubs got the message, and I understand the TEA party has raised h3ll. So, at best Reid could only embarrass the Repubs a little.

Big failure for Obama and his HC.

Those earmarks were before the election. It was a dirty trick to try and "catch" Republicans, but they stayed true to their word and integrity and stopped it in it's current form that included all the pork.

what?! Those two and politicians don't go together...

 

[Fern]

And who had a ton of pork in the bill? Ding Ding Ding... Mitch McConnell!

So they were for pork before they were against it?

Yes, and from what's reported on cable news the TEA party flexed it's muscle again. So Reid's gambit failed. It became impossible for the Repubs to vote for it.

Yes, some Repub's (9 IIRC) were 'for them before they were against them'. I don't think that matters much. What does matter is how they behave after the election. I.e., did they get the message? The answer is a clear 'yes', if you're talking about Repubs anyway.

If by "stuff that no one asked for" you mean ending a recession and restarting economic growth less than 2 years after a Republican caused largest economic collapse in several generations, then yes I agree.

News flash: we are STILL in a recession, and there has been no recovery. The only economic growth you're seeing is the result of ridiculous deficit spending and propping up insolvent banks.

Wow ... in a thread about being arrogant, I think you just won the prize of arrogance over anyone else brought up.

brilliant way to win an argument. hahahaha :biggrin:

Then you outta consult reality more often. Unemployment is stuck near 10%, foreclosure business is booming, the Fed has crammed QE2 down our throats because QE1 has not solved anything, the banks have legalized "mark-to-fantasy" accounting fraud... but we can all celebrate that the recession is over because a bunch of academics engaged in mental masturbation and declared that the recession is over.

We have done nothing to solve the problems that caused this mess, and instead the government is trying to prop up bad debt with more debt, and merely postpone the inevitable. If it gets as bad as Greece and Ireland here, I have no doubt these same academics will claim no one could have seen it coming.

 

[Genx87]

I don't remember what the exact number is as I don't have time to search for it, but its something like the people who own 80 percent of the wealth only pay 65 percent of the taxes where the other 20 percent of wealth pays 35 percent of the taxes.

Incorrect. The wealth distribution lines up nearly perfectly with income and income taxes. The whole 90% of wealth is owned by 1% of the population is bullshit.

 

[JSt0rm]

Those elitist academics and their studies. Fuck them. We know because our gut tells us huh munky? We only need 1 book in this house (the bible of course)

So you have no factual counter-arguments, thus resort to spinning propaganda.

No. I have nothing as brilliant as the above line.

In reality the Republican party is no more then a regional extremist minority party whose base is becoming more and more obsolete (and old). The Foxnews/Talkradio corporate funded bubble is the last of the baby-boomer rabble archie bunker types who can not cope with a changing world before heading off to the big cul-de-sac of history and irrelevance.

Enjoy the corporate sponsored death knell of "conservatism" while they push the outrage envelope further in desperation. The days of a US reactionary party are numbered if the racism and antagonism of minoritys keeps up.


So keep living the dreamof a time in America that never actually existed except in the theater of Talk radio outragemongers, Hee-Haw. We've got a black president, the Confederate White House is closed on MLK Jr. Day, and your grandchildren will probably be mulatto. And gay. And hopefully Atheist.

look how dumb you are

You must be a narcissist. In every thread you keep looking in the mirror.

That last part sounds a lot like outrage and desperation for a lefty utopia that has never happened, and never will. Pot, meet kettle.
