johnnnyorganic, is that you?
 
lol...spin machine.... the republicans in the senate are responsible for filibustering every democrat piece of legislation even when both houses had a democrat majority...

reality...always getting in the way of partisan hackery....


Wow, what reality are you living under. So the during the first two years of Obama's Presidency, when the Dems held a "FILIBUSTER-PROOF" majority, the Republicans were still somehow able to do the impossible and block legislation. DREAM ON. The horseshit they were trying to pass was so repulsive they couldn't even get all the Democrats on board.

Nice try though, do you revise history books for the teacher's unions in your spare time.


i got thousands of dollars in tax breaks

Yeah, sure you did. As you guys like to say, PROVE IT. I want links, W-2's, a study from a liberal douchebag approved university or a note from your mommy.
I've seen you post this hogwash numerous times and it reeks of hyperbole.
 
Riiiiiight. So when Democrats have used the filibusterer when the minority party in the Senate it was totally Kool and the Gang, but when Republicans use it then they are obstructionists and in the wrong, Right?

Typical uber-liberal double standard.

The filibuster is important. If plans to radically remake the country don’t have broad support among lawmakers and the public, the nation can do without it. The Founding Fathers wanted to make it hard to pass laws, thus protecting the minority and individuals from the tyranny of the majority. (Example of the tyranny of the majority, ObamaCare, crammed down the throat of a nation that did not want it, and hates it even more now that it's damage is beginning to be seen.)

The founding fathers were no fools. They didn't want what Obama and his ilk drool over, a rubber stamp Congress that allows them to pass anything and everything they want, but the nation does not want. The founding fathers knew the danger an out of control Congress would be.


.

Brick, you are a very knowledgeable person, in growing and outside of growing.......but you are obviously blind to what the Republicans have done.......can you please explain the huge amount of legislation passed by Congress? And I do not mean legislation spinning our wheels, but actual legislation that will help create jobs.......

Ultimately, the Republicans are the party that wants to keep everything the same as it was in the fifties.....they are being left behind by modern times, because they refuse to change.

I do not usually argue with you, because you usually know your shit, but on this, you are about as off base as one could be.......Republicans and conservative idealism are ruining this country........all you would have to do is go to a rodeo or stock car rally, and listen to the level of intelligent conversation, and you would be calling yourself a liberal in no time........haha.
 
My name's not Johnny and I don't organic. Its a waste of input to output ratio.

ah, johnny liked to bring up that little bit about washing african weiners.

he had to concede in the end that we can save more money by tackling these problems preventatively rather than just sending more aid, thus making it a good INVESTMENT, rather than just frivolous spending.

you must not be one of those "stitch in time saves nine" people, i guess. not seeing the whole picture, just rabble rousing for partisan reasons.
 
Buck, there's a proper way to do a link?

Nothing about being partisan. The reason I'm a libertarian is for liberty and freedom. Which also means I'm against liars. The stimulus was supposed to be for stimulating Americans, not stimulating an African's wang. I could care less about good intentions. The American people are suffering, otherwise Odumbo wouln't have needed to sign two trillion dollar deals to stimulate AMERICA. I would be pissed if one cent of an American stimulus went to anyone but an american. I sure know could have used that $800,000. Also, since when is being against liars and idiots partisan? McCain is more of a war momger than Obama. But he had two things going for him. He's infinately smarter and I.d laugh hysterically waiting for him to lose it and attacking a Chinese reporter thinking he was one of his tormentors. Don't get me wrong, but I abhor torture. Its just it would take an incident like that to wake people up, but I still doubt it would.

yes, there is.

normally, the proper etiquette is to post a link such that when someone clicks on said link, it brings that person to the article.

yours would have to be copy and pasted into a separate browser window.

which party has, as part of their platform, "we are for liars"?

you act like libertarians have some kind of ownage on truth, which is called partisan hackery.

The stimulus was supposed to be for stimulating Americans, not stimulating an African's wang. I could care less about good intentions.

we send a certain amount of aid money to africa every year.

if we implement programs that reduce the incidence of things that cause us to send aid over there, we save money in the end. that is called investing. AMERICANS save money in the end.

The American people are suffering, otherwise Odumbo wouln't have needed to sign two trillion dollar deals to stimulate AMERICA.

you can't even name ONE trillion dollar deal signed by obama, much less two.

partisan hackery.

I would be pissed if one cent of an American stimulus went to anyone but an american. I sure know could have used that $800,000.

since when were libertarians into begging for handouts from the government?

Also, since when is being against liars and idiots partisan?

when you try to frame your own party, in this case libertarians, as "holier than thou". libertarians lie too, ron paul was just called on it by anderson cooper.

so don't act like your shit don't stink.

He's infinately smarter...

*infinitely

libertarians are SMART.

How can you say McCain is infinitely smarter than Obama? And how, within that same statement, do you misspell infinite? If you were paying attention, one of the stimulus bills came from Bush and company, and the other stimulus came BECAUSE of Bush and company's mismanagement of this country. Your post reeks of racism and ignorance.

Another so-called Libertarian that is a Republican at heart. You would enjoy seeing McCain lose it on a Chinese reporter??? Wow.....I bet true libertarians are mad that guys like you pretend to be libertarian.....lol.

So if you are against liars, you need to correct yourself, and admit that Bush and company had everything to do with the stimulus....much more to do with it than Obama ever did.
 
Yes there is
You have mentioned several times a promise made
When none ever was
I mentioned a PROMISE? Really? Perhaps you care to quote that statement of a Promise.....I know you can't because you are confused about who has posted what .....Again. Please post all the quotes as in several which means more than one.

bit of a correction.

tarp, signed into law by shrub, was not an economic stimulus. it was a bailout.

the ARRA, signed into law by obama, was an economic stimulus that created or saved millions upon millions of jobs.

hell, with the couple thousand that bill has saved me so far, i have not only invested in lights, but tons of materials to build a greenhouse, supplies from the local grow shop, on and and on and on. those couple thousand dollars in savings, when invested, were multiplied many times over and those dollars are STILL working their way through the economy in some form or the other.

perfect example would be the dinner and a movie i just got back from with the wife. because i used my tax savings wisely and invested, turned that investment into other investments, i was able to afford the occasional night out on the town. which, along with others doing the same, creates aggregate demand, which is the TRUE job creator. keynesian economics at their finest.

had there been no ARRA, i might be on food stamps and unemployment instead.

unlike what many say, i am living proof that it was not an 'abject failure'.
 


Nice link to a Wiki page, I said let's see proof that YOU got to keep thousands more of your money. I want previous years W2's showing exact same income and same deductions/expenses with a final income that is in the exact same bracket, then let's compare EXACTLY how much you paid in taxes. Short of that, keep your bullshit claims to yourself.

I'm a registered Independent in NC and I detest the Progressive scumbags calling themselves Republicans almost as much as I detest the Dems. While many of us you flaccidly try to label partisan hacks, go after the Republicans on their shortcomings, you sir, are a fucking cheerleader for Obama and the horseshit legislation he has backdoored into being for the last 34 months.

Regardless of what you think, you absolutely do not hold the moral high ground in these little debates. You are the definition of partisan hack, a registered Dem and will most likely vote for Obama again, no matter how bad he is for this country.

First of all, keep repeating the horseshit "created or saved" just like the MSM, because if you say it often enough, there might be 5 or 6 people out there who fall for that garbage. Laughable and pathetic. All they did was push the "crash" a few years down the road until the inevitable "double dip" (also laughable as we never recovered, spare us your ridiculous graphs, meme) sends unemployment skyward and exposes the fact that NOTHING was created or saved.

You ain't living proof of anything, except that you are a unimaginative story teller. I've heard that exact tale spun on countless message boards, by countless liberal lemmings. And to be quite honest, their yarns were far more convincing than yours. Even if it was true, do you really think everyone feels better about shooting for $17 trillion in debt, so that you could have a couple of measly thousand dollars more? Keep it coming fellas, you just keep making it that much easier when you resort to such obvious hail mary's.

absolutely no substance to even respond to there.
