Being forced to rub lotion on people??? Can I be in salvary to Scarlett Johansson?

Thought it was something in the mint family that produces bizarre effects on the mind.

Bullsh*t. You're obviously forgetting the dem hysteria after the reps took control of congress in '94. Everything the reps proposed was going to kill women, children, and old people.

Smoblikat is right. Stop acting as clueless as your TV namesake, Homer.

You just described the current Dem attack ads in Illinois' gubernatorial race! If Bruce Rauner (R) wins elections, your grandparents will be abused and killed. Sick children are going to die. Your job will be outsourced.

Why so many Democrats seem to have to relearn the latter lesson each and every election cycle, is really, truly, mind-boggling. Yes, I know Wall Street, in a way it once wasn't, has become an important source of funding for Democrats.

The real reason the democrat party is becoming a joke and no different than the republicans they like to point their fingers at.

Stop calling it liberal fear mongering.

The nation has been caught up in Government and Fear, since about thirty years ago.

This is what leads to the decline and fall of Nations.

Oh Michal, if only you could get just one thread title correct...

Who wants to bet his real name is Michael and he even misspelled that?

I've been considering that he is Louie Gohmert.

\mah asparagus!!!!

Andrew Cuomo's record as a leader speaks for itself. An endorsement from Charles Rangel, who is one of the most corrupt politicians in NY history, almost means sure-fire reelection. Demonstrable proof that people get the government they deserve.


Andrew Cuomo and Fannie and Freddie
How the youngest Housing and Urban Development secretary in history gave birth to the mortgage crisis
By Wayne Barrett Tuesday, Aug 5 2008

There are as many starting points for the mortgage meltdown as there are fears about how far it has yet to go, but one decisive point of departure is the final years of the Clinton administration, when a kid from Queens without any real banking or real-estate experience was the only man in Washington with the power to regulate the giants of home finance, the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), better known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Andrew Cuomo, the youngest Housing and Urban Development secretary in history, made a series of decisions between 1997 and 2001 that gave birth to the country's current crisis. He took actions that—in combination with many other factors—helped plunge Fannie and Freddie into the subprime markets without putting in place the means to monitor their increasingly risky investments. He turned the Federal Housing Administration mortgage program into a sweetheart lender with sky-high loan ceilings and no money down, and he legalized what a federal judge has branded "kickbacks" to brokers that have fueled the sale of overpriced and unsupportable loans. Three to four million families are now facing foreclosure, and Cuomo is one of the reasons why.

Cuomo’s Office Hobbled Ethics Inquiries by Moreland Commission
By SUSANNE CRAIG, WILLIAM K. RASHBAUM and THOMAS KAPLAN JULY 23, 2014

With Albany rocked by a seemingly endless barrage of scandals and arrests, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo set up a high-powered commission last summer to root out corruption in state politics. It was barely two months old when its investigators, hunting for violations of campaign-finance laws, issued a subpoena to a media-buying firm that had placed millions of dollars’ worth of advertisements for the New York State Democratic Party.

The investigators did not realize that the firm, Buying Time, also counted Mr. Cuomo among its clients, having bought the airtime for his campaign when he ran for governor in 2010.

Word that the subpoena had been served quickly reached Mr. Cuomo’s most senior aide, Lawrence S. Schwartz. He called one of the commission’s three co-chairs, William J. Fitzpatrick, the district attorney in Syracuse.

“This is wrong,” Mr. Schwartz said, according to Mr. Fitzpatrick, whose account was corroborated by three other people told about the call at the time. He said the firm worked for the governor, and issued a simple directive:

“Pull it back.”

The subpoena was swiftly withdrawn. The panel’s chief investigator explained why in an email to the two other co-chairs later that afternoon.

“They apparently produced ads for the governor,” she wrote.

The pulled-back subpoena was the most flagrant example of how the commission, established with great ceremony by Mr. Cuomo in July 2013, was hobbled almost from the outset by demands from the governor’s office.

While the governor now maintains he had every right to monitor and direct the work of a commission he had created, many commissioners and investigators saw the demands as politically motivated interference that hamstrung an undertaking that the governor had publicly vowed would be independent.

The commission developed a list of promising targets, including a lawmaker suspected of using campaign funds to support a girlfriend in another state and pay tanning-salon bills. The panel also highlighted activities that it saw as politically odious but perfectly legal, like exploiting a loophole to bundle enormous campaign contributions.

But a three-month examination by The New York Times found that the governor’s office deeply compromised the panel’s work, objecting whenever the commission focused on groups with ties to Mr. Cuomo or on issues that might reflect poorly on him.

Ultimately, Mr. Cuomo abruptly disbanded the commission halfway through what he had indicated would be an 18-month life. And now, as the Democratic governor seeks a second term in November, federal prosecutors are investigating the roles of Mr. Cuomo and his aides in the panel’s shutdown and are pursuing its unfinished business.

WTF is a "salvary"?

No clue myself.

Least the GOP has gotten smart enough in the last few years to stop publicly talking crap about women.

They just still think the same way and do it in private I guess.

I'm glad groups like the NRA don't run their own fear mongering ads. In Kansas they are running an attacking Orman and supporting Roberts. The funny part is Orman is a gun owner a concealed carry permit and Roberts doesn't own a single firearm. But for some reason we're supposed to believe that Orman is going try to take your guns.

Well Cuomo certainly has. Well he didn't take them, but if you had to sell some for no good reason. The Emperor has spoken, and purposefully rammed stupid legislation without a chance for any opposition. Then we have Cristy who's an idiot for his quarantine. We've heard all about that. Cuomo with virtually the same policy? Nada.

Needless to say I really really don't like that crook.
