Yes, patty seems to take her seriously.

Have you ever met such self-serving, selfish, idiots? They're disgusting to be around. Everything is all about them and their welfare. The rest of the country be damned. Me, me, me, me, me. They'd make great Halliburton CEOs or Oil company executives. In fact, let's face it, these nutheads are those guys' champions. Now Michelle Bachmann I can understand. She stands to profit from her pontificating puke. But patty? Just a sheep being led to the slaughter.

Liberals want to take, take, take, take, take and take. Why don't all you liberals who want to give everything away to everyone else be generous with what you have if that's your goal. Let the government keep out of the Robinhood business, and all the liberals can give twice as much tax money to the government to fund their give aways and then you all can be happy. I like to give my money to help others, but I like to be the one to decide WHO I'll give it to. You got a problem with that?! Too bad. You want to label that as 'selfish'? Go ahead. We call it what it is. Freedom.

[pattygreen 5]

Of course you do, that is the biggest difference between a republican and a democrat. Republicans agree with everything they are told. Democrats listen to what they are told, think about it and then agree or disagree.

How stupid! Everything anyone says is listened to and then the hearer decides upon whether to agree or disagree with it. Both Democrats or Republicans.

You have it wrong, anyway. The biggest difference between a republican and a democrat is their morals. Most Dems have none.

And by the way, I'm an independent!

We call it what it is. Freedom.

You wouldn't know freedom if it bit you in the butt. Your so busy trying to make others worship like you, spend money like you, save like you, you never stop to think that others have the "freedom" to live as they please. Your way is not for everyone. That is why we have freedom in this country. And I choose to be free of tyrannical zealots running my country.

[Cleo's Mom 257]

I happen to think she's great! I agree with her line of thinking and at no time have I heard her speak where I didn't agree with what she had to say. She is intelligent and well informed. She has a good head on her shoulders.

Why am I not surprised. Yeah, good head on her shoulders. :thumbup:

Make me. Make us liberals stop. We had the same so called governmental handouts under Bush. So this is not a Dem thing, this is a people thing. Rage against it, protest it, but it will stay that way with us helping the unfortunate. Both parties will let these programs stay in existance because NOBODY from either party is going to change it.

Just making yourself sick by banging your head against the wall regarding cutting the poor off. Never, ever, ever, ever going to happen.

Were you laughing when you typed this because I was laughing when I read it. :thumbup: The republicans more moral? Have you not been paying attention? Does "rent a boy" ring a bell.

The difference between democrats and republicans is that the democrats are the party for the people and republicans are the party of corporate america and the rich.

I have asked you in the past to name one thing that the Republicans preach that you disagree with. I am challenging you again, name 1 thing that you disagree with in the republican agenda.

You can call yourself whatever......your true colors shine right through.

Dem's have no morals? Now that might be the stupidest thing I have ever heard you say. And I have heard many.

Do you not understand how our government works? How many times do I need to explain it to you? You just keep repeating these stupid posts:

We pay federal taxes. We each have a congressman and 2 senators. They try to bring those federal taxes back to their district/state. Plus the federal taxes are used to pay for various government programs. Now, if you don't like those programs, then call your representatives. But quit call the paying of taxes "stealing" or being robin hood. This is how our federal government works under all presidents. It has nothing to do with liberals. So quit saying that. It just makes you sound more uninformed than you already do.

Actually, bush gave tax cuts to millionaires who didn't ask for them and didn't need them and he did this after starting two wars that he couldn't pay for. How about not giving those tax breaks to the millionaires and instead tax them higher to pay for his wars? Hmmm. I would love to hear a neocon say that!!!

Did I say cutting off the poor? I said give aways. I have always said that there will always be some poor who will need a hand up, and the government should give it. It is when the government decides to give away to those who DON'T need it.

Were you laughing when you typed this because I was laughing when I read it. :thumbup: The republicans more moral? Have you not been paying attention? Does "rent a boy" ring a bell.

The difference between democrats and republicans is that the democrats are the party for the people and republicans are the party of corporate america and the rich.

There is a difference in what you know in your heart to be morally right and your actions.

Liberals and conservatives BOTH sin and do wrong every day.

The difference is that conservatives know they are wrong and understand that they are wrong and that they can't go through life without sinning. They have morals.

Liberals, OTOH, don't think they are doing anything sinful when they sin. They have no morals.

Well, the republicans have been in control for much of the last 50 years, why didn't they cut these programs? Sure it might have been unpopular but you keep yapping for it to get done, so why do you suppose it hasn't? After all, with all the power the republicans can do anything. Right? Isn't that what the teabagger candidates are pledging? Smaller government, fewer taxes, cutting programs, etc.. So if they believe it's possible, why hasn't it been done by the republicans when they had all the power? Do you really think it will just take DIFFERENT republicans to do it? LOL :thumbup:
