  • Isn't thinking that the GOP is going to take back the senate like telling your kid he will be an Astronaut?

    some day. I mean, I suppose any ones kid has the potential of being anything they are told they can be. But these days people sure do like to convince themselves something might happen when in fact they don't knowshit. Did you see Fox news when Obama was called the winner? They couldn't believe it. And if Romney ran against Obama tomorrow they would say that he would be a sure thing to win. Him and Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, or Donald Trump (that's right, a lot of people on the "right" think that Donald Trump is the second coming of Christ).

  • Since when have the Republicans been fiscally responsible about anything.?

    Aren't the Republicans just as responsible for the nations debt as Democrats are? Or are they 50 bucks ahead (behind). And I'm not asking idiots like "Jimbo" this question or anyone else. It's a rhetorical question ( I know the answer already in case you don't know what is going on which you don't if you think you have to point out these words I've typed as being a rant (it IS a rant stupid).

    THE RULES:

    The rules are as follows: Neither party is more or less corrupt than the other. Neither party is more or less hypocritical than the other. Neither party is more or less fiscally responsible than the other.

    Democrat Presidents do stupid things.

    Democrat Presidents support legislation that undermines certain people in the country.

    Democrat Presidents hide the truth from time to time.

    Democrat Presidents support wars and start them unnecessarily.

    Democrat Presidents from time to time have to be removed from office.

    Republican Presidents do stupid things.

  • Isn't it total BS that Republicans want some good to come out of Washington?

    What would Republicans do with the unemployment rates in this country dropping? Unemployment rates dropped in 43 out of the 50 U.S. states and in the District of Columbia in April from a year before, according to Labor Department data released on Friday. But what if the rates had dropped even further? And what would Republicans say if the rates keep dropping through the next two years?

    And what would happen if the housing market keeps coming back being a sure indicator of economic growth? the National Association of Realtors delivered a report recently in which the organization announced that the housing market is in a huge upswing. Existing-home sales rose 10.4 percent in July from last year, while the price of a typical home climbed 9.4 percent. Compared with a year ago, there are now more first-time buyers, a smaller proportion of foreclosure sales, and less surplus inventory. Barring a collapse, 2012 and 2013 will be the first time since 2005 in which the number of homes sold and the price they typically sell for rise. But wonder if in the next two years the housing market does even better than suspected? Will Republicans rejoice? Or will they complain about the government when looking around for their fuckingFHA loan; the douche bags that they are?

  • How many more days until the Benghazi "try" for the GOP is over?

    Will it be something like 30 more days until we can file Benghazi along with Obama's birth certificate into the "nice try" file or will it take longer? How about the IRS thing? Another 30 days when we can finally get back to the business of Congress "pretending" to try to fix the economy? Or will we have to sit through more Congressional hearings? Right now behind closed doors Republican Senators are laughing out loud about what they are really trying to do....having all these hearings that go nowhere to put in place the "idea" that something is really wrong when in fact the Benghazi matter is dead in the water. And pretty soon, so is the IRS deal.

  • Isn't it really YOU people who are a mess and not what Obama "created"?

    Keep hearing how Obama has screwed everything up for everyone. He has? Like what? I still have a job and health care. Gas prices are high but so what? If you can't pay $3.89 a gallon for gas maybe you should get a higher paying job. I don't have an adjustable mortgage. Myself and my wife thought that was a rip off when we were offered it. If you are underwater that's your fault. You say you don't like your guns being taken away? Where the hell do you live? What planet do you live on? My guns aren't going anywhere. You say you don't like gays? Who's got the time to think about other people so much? If you don't like gays don't be one. So you think that Democrats are leaches? Well then maybe you can help me find just ONE leach Democrat. I don't know one person who is a Democrat and is a leach or a Republican for that matter who is one. What? You can't take out student loans to go to school? Talk about leaches. I never asked my parents for anything when I went to school. Not a dime. And if Republicans have to pay some taxes, so what? We all pay taxes. But only the biggest dirt bag losers spend all their time complaining about it. You can't stop everybody from taking advantage of the system....cheating the system. And besides, Republicans do it all the time themselves. It is only that Democrats don't make such a big deal about it.

    As a matter of fact, I wasn't screwed under Bush either. Although food prices and gas prices were a little higher and some of my friends were broke. You ask most Democrats these days and they will tell you that Bush was the worst President ever. KNOW HE WASN'T. And neither is Obama. You have to be a real fuckup to think that this or any past or future Presidency has that much impact on a person's life. What Democrats DEMAND is that Republicans quit screwing up their own lives and blaming it on Democrats. And that includes figuring out how to win an election so you can PRETEND that your life has changed.

  • Do Republicans need these people to win in 2016?

    Women, blacks, latinos, the disabled, college students, social security recipients, the unemployed, the poor, renters, inner city residents, pot smokers, people with ten fingers and toes? Or are they just going to rely on their base (one guy named Jim)?

  • Who is to blame for Obama being elected President?

    Unwise Democrats? Suckers? Leaches? Women? Minorities? Blacks? Latinos? College Students? Social Security recipients? Welfare mothers? The disabled? The poor? People who just want to generally be taken care of by the Government. Or could it actually be Republicans who are to blame for Obama being elected President?

    Well how in the Hell could it possibly be Republicans fault for Obama being elected President? Well, I tell you what, I'll answer this question for you in 2016 when the next Democrat reaches the Presidency.

  • Aren't the two parties the SAME?

    Republican and Democrat. Some one want to tell me the differences (without being an idiot)?

    Do you think that this Democrat President is an "out-liner" to the American people? I remember Bush 2 saying he "wasn't concerned about Bin Laden" in a news conference back in 2006. I mean you people think the bullshit starts and ends with Obama?!?! Hypocrite's are on both sides and they always have been. But to think that Benghazi trumps WaterGate or Iran Contra is the most wishful of thinking. Hey, the parties don't have to get along, and you don't have to like women or gays, but there is going to be a time when even the fuckingDemocrats are going to want to see a different party in place for the Presidency. So why don't you Republicans start to take the high road? like getting on to some other business. Democrats did it with Iran Contra and Bush 1 with the Nicaragua affair, so why not you? Democrats DEMAND a worthy opponent for 2016. They do just for the sheer entertainment of it all.

  • If Obama is such a problem being Satan and all and a crook to boot, how come he isn't impeached by now?

    What are all you Republicans waiting for? Shouldn't you all be demanding an impeachment? All as I hear is that you want an apology? I know the whole birther thing didn't work for you guys but this Benghazi thing has some legs. And why not focus on Clinton more? Obama can't run and he doesn't have any power over Congress so why go after him? Shouldn't the focus be on Clinton? Don't you want to screw Clinton? I don't know if any of you pinheads have realized this or not but Obama actually won the last election and he can't run again. Impeaching him just puts Joe Biden in office and Biden HATES Republicans. He really does. And he might even run for President. But again, it is really Clinton that you want to ruin isn't it? That is your real job.

    Tell you what...So here is what we are going to do. I'll be willing to forget about all the stupid stuff all the YA contributors have been saying about the lame duck President who isn't going anywhere anyway and I will give you all another chance to sling mud at Clinton which will do more good for your side anyway. Everybody screws up once in a while and even Republicans are worthy of a pass now and then. So rather than explain this to you guys any further, let's go ahead and start a dialog against Clinton. Facts aren't important right now. Just start laying the Benghazi issue at her feet. Say she ordered the killings of those people or whatever you want. After all, you're Republicans so what's the difference? What you have to do is start steering this issue over to someone that can do your own party some good. Because right now this whole political thing is starting to look like Muhammad Ali (Democrats) picking a fight with RuPaul (Republicans).

  • Is Obama turning Republican?

    Wow, this Obama is a mess. He's so cautious. And he acts like he is in a bubble...and he's not being very aggressive and he lacks an awareness that reminds me of Bush 1 and the Reagan controversies or really their criminal liabilities for the mining harbors of Nicaragua and Iran Contra. We remember those right? President Ronald Reagan was briefed in advance about every weapons shipment in the Iran arms-for-hostages deals in 1985-86, and Vice President George H. W. Bush chaired a committee that recommended the mining of the harbors of Nicaragua in 1983, according to previously secret Independent Counsel assessments of "criminal liability" on the part of the two former leaders posted by the National Security Archive in 2011.

    Twenty-Five years after the advent of the "Iran-Contra affair," the two comprehensive "Memoranda on Criminal Liability of Former President Reagan and of President Bush" provide a roadmap of historical, though not legal, culpability of the nation's two top elected officials during the scandal from the perspective of a senior attorney in the Office of Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh. The documents were obtained pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the National Security Archive for the files compiled during Walsh's six-year investigation from 1987-1993..... and all of that Republican crap is beginning to look like what Obama is going through now.

    The difference I suspect is that Obama will be vindicated. But what a mess anyway. It makes him look like Reagan, or the Bush's, or Nixon, or Warren G. Harding, or Ulysses S. Grant with his "Black Friday" and "Whiskey Ring" and all the other Republican Presidents anyone has ever seen outside of Lincoln who was a modern day Democrat running as a Republican.

    So what is Obama suppose to do? Maybe just wait? I suppose then he can hand the mantle over to the next Democrat in 2017. After all, this crazy GOPshit is certain to fail just like everything else they try through Rush Limbaugh, and Bill O'Reilly.

  • What do Republicans always say when you make a good point?

    Or maybe a point that makes them have to think about their own ideology. Isn't it always the same?

    Republicans always come back with the same pat answer about collecting free stuff from the government or benefiting in some way by other people's wages, or any other response on this line.

    How did Republicans ever get it in their heads that Democrats are such leaches? And why do Republicans insist on coming across as such cold-harded creeps? Hell, a lot of Republicans give a substantial portion of their income to charitable causes ever year as do most liberals ( I do just for the tax right off). Wouldn't it be smarter for Republicans to advertise how much they contribute to society rather than point out how much they detest by doing so? As a liberal, a portion of my income is hand delivered to charitable organizations every year and that is about all I do. I'm not particularly fond of paying higher taxes but at the same time I don't rip every single person on the planet because I pay out a little more than someone with a lower paying job. But now if you're a Republican, I'm all of a sudden a leach. Republicans make the claim that they give more money to charity than Liberals do. Is this a fact? Does any one have any proof of this. And Hell, it doesn't matter if it is true. My point is this: You bozos aren't going to win in 2016 because you have big mouths. That is because Republicans put down all the people they need on their side to vote for them. That's stupid. Republicans have a lot to say about women, blacks, latinos, and the poor and they draw sides between these groups of people and themselves. Not wise.

    What scares Democrats? What scares Democrats is the day that Republicans stop talking. What scares Democrats is the day the Republicans either have no comment on women's vaginas and talk about blacks in a fashion that doesn't consist of "them" being pawns in the election game.

    Do this and you might win an election outside of the fuckedup states in this country.

    OR, go a head and vote for Herman Cain, or Sarah Palin, or Donald Trump after they are done talking the same trash you guys talk about. Go ahead. I dare ya.

  • What does Obama mean when he says: "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this nation"?

    He not talking about terrorism is he? He's talking about fraternity pranks, right?

    Does it have to do with the context? What if Bush said after 911, "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation" would it mean that he was talking about a violent protest? Actually, 911 WAS a violent protest from the Saudis. So George W. would be able to say "Who gives ashit?"

    The same is true here. Who cares. Obama is still going to serve out his Presidency and Clinton is running in 2016. All the screaming in the world about the IRS and Benghazi is going to change nothing in that regard. But it is still fun to watch ( if you're a Democrat). Republicans will go for the fences with this one to be sure. But I can hardly see how they can help their own cause unless they dig up some e-mail from Obama himself that tells the state department to change the talking points or a taping system that uncovers a cover up with the talking points directed by Obama himself. Hell, even if Obama had complete involvement in any kind of scandal, all the lessons learned by studying Republican scandals every time they are in office has undoubtedly helped Obama in this regard.

  • How big of a yawn is the BENGHAZI MATTER?

    Maybe we should have 6000 congressional hearings on something that goes nowhere. Clinton in 2016? Probably. Will this effect her chances? Probably not. What do the Republicans on Fox say? Even thesedicks say she will get through it.

    But get this: If Obama had ever done anything remotely close to what Fox news says, articles of impeachment would be brought up in the House and passed in the Senate.

    The problem? See if this happens? If it doesn't, please get thefuck off the subject. It's time to move on.

  • If Obama should apologize to the Tea Party why not have a "house cleaning"?

    The GOP wants an apology. Maybe the GOP could apologize for a few things too. Let's take a minute to list some things that the GOP should apologize for. All I ask is to limits items to less than 6,000. Items might include such things as blacks, latinos, women, the disabled, whites, men, the economy, Strom Thurmond, furniture, the air we breath, the Cubs, aliens from outer space, mud, etc.

  • I don't see anything wrong with Republicans getting the crap scared out of them, do you?

    What Republicans think:

    They think Obama is taking their guns away. Well, I'm a lefty liberal. Really, a lefty,lefty liberal as far as you can get to the left. I have a gun case at home loaded with weaponry. No machine guns though. But I'm not worried. Call me a fool, but I don't think I have to fight a war with the government and I don't need an AK47 to take down some punks who want to steal my TV set.

    Republicans think that the government is telling them to buy health insurance. But not me. I like my insurance and so does my employer. No changes here for me or my employer except some potential SAVINGS.

    How about Benghazi? Republicans make a big deal about that but they don't when their own ( George Bush) is in charge of protecting our embassies. Republicans don't give a ratsass about the 13 type Benghazi's that happened under Bush do they? So why is it so strange that I AND EVERYONE ELSE that ISN'T Republican or Fox news care about this one? Is it because Obama lied? Then prove it douche bags! If you can't move on to different business at hand. Because everyone would want to see Obama gone if it were proven that he lied about anything. So far we have had A FUCKINGDOZEN congressional hearings on Benghazi. There is NOTHING to learn so let's move on. Besides, you dopes will have plenty of other opportunities to screw Hillary Clinton and this isn't one of them ( yes we can tell the real reason behind all the fuss over Benghazi).

    Oh, and what else scares the crap out of Republicans? ME. Yeah, the truth hurts. The truth hurts and you always have someone like me rubbing in the fact that YOU are positioning yourselves into the big lose in 2016. But we know you guys can't help it. We understand. Republicans are cursed into screwing themselves out of another election by way of: Benghazi, Universal Health Care, grid lock, gun control, immigration, women's rights, blacks, latinos, gays, logic, and just by opening their mouths, ie., Donald Trump, Michele Backmann, Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, and every other Republican who is blowing it for the Republican Party. And we THANK YOU!

    Hasn't the Democratic Party installed this thing called "The Republican Party" to win the next 10 elections at the Federal level?

  • What are all the religious gay haters going to say to all the religious gays in Heaven?

    I'm always thinking of this stuff. Isn't there all one, big, happy family up there? Or do they take sides in Heaven? Since there a plenty of gay people in the world who also have given their lives to Christ, how is Christ going to react to all the gay haters in Heaven? Is Christ going to break up the fight? What if two gay, Christ following partners get in a car accident and find themselves in Heaven together and run across one of the many homophobes we've come accustomed to on YA? What then? If I'm dead do I get to witness someone getting their asskicked in Heaven. I'm rooting for the gay guy!!

    That's why I tend to leave these people alone. You never know when you might get your asskicked in by a "bear" or someone. But actually, I could care less if someone is gay and might want to get married. After all, what does that have to do with me?

    Is it because it might change a "great institution" like marriage? Christ, I sound like some dipshit Republican. Marriage is a farce. What? Is it like a 90% divorce rate in the US? You have to be out of your mind to think that marriage has to be protected. All as these people want to do is have some of the same tax credits. So what? Get a life.
