American Politics during the Obama Presidency

Stan and WW, just wanted to throw this out there:

When it came to the Democrats and use of foreign money in campaigns. Can anyone say George Soros?

You are both correct about the unions, their membership, and funds which are not segregated by source – one man's foreign contributions being used to influence US elections is another man's UNION DUES!

Funny how this only comes up when it's Republicans? Don't I recall Al Gore getting the big bucks from a bunch of Buddhist monks who didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of but contributed tens of thousands of dollars or was it over a hundred thousand dollars to Gore. Ahhh how soon we forget.

Don't let anyone tell you Obama is not one smart cookie. He may never have passed Economics 101 at that Junior College he attended but obviously that junior college had great courses on how to become a community organizer.

Now Obama's next brainstorm. You heard it here first. The meeting he has planned with Condeleezza Rice is just a trial baloon to test the public reaction to his dumping Michele and making Condeleezza First Lady.

This should fit in nicely with his conviction that raising taxes, spending money like a drunken sailor and eliminating job creation in the private sector will get us out of this recession / depression.

[QUOTE=Moveon; 413228]Jackson,

PS I have had 2 individuals on my IGNORE LIST so maybe that is what you are referring to about "not-responding? "

(I can't read their posts) [ATTACH=CONFIG]27622[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]WTF! It appears that Moveon and EasyGo have become homosexual lovers and jointly ignored the Toymann. Have I now become public enemy number 1 with these dudes. I don't buy his BS as anyone serious about banging Argentina pussy would never put ol'Toymann on the ignore list. Would they? I feel so violated all! IALOTFLMAO!

Guesse he should have made a few chica posts. Might not help, but certainly never hurts!

Happy Mongering All. Offended Toymann


OMG. Maybe I have become the next Dickhead! IALOTFLMAO!

[/QUOTE]Very funny, but it I think Michelle can easily screen out Condeleezza with her broad ass, no way for Condeleezza to get to the hoop for the rebound. By the way, EA, you must have work for the National Enquirer in your earlier days!

[QUOTE=Toymann;413199]My dear friend Esten. I was born at night but NOT last night. The whole Tea Party deal is nothing more than a protest vote against both GOP and Democrat. That said, if any get in don't think for a second they will end up in the democrat camp. PLease! Don't forget I grew up in socialist Canada with a three party system. The NDP federal party in Canada has always been a protest vote similar to the new Tea Party. I decline the new bet as I am not so sure that in a couple of weeks, once things heat up, that the dems don't have a few surprises coming. Obomanation will do his best to swing the senate to the republicans. You can be sure of that my friend. Happy Mongering All. Toymann.[/QUOTE]You wisely declined the new bet.

Not only will the Tea Party not win any seats, but when all the votes are tallied from all the races, I am certain the Tea Party will not get even 1000 votes across all the races in the country combined.

Cut his mic.

[QUOTE=Jackson; 413220][blue]Moveon,

I believe that you are a professional political operative and I'm calling you out.

-

1. Your handle "Moveon" is suspiciously similar to the notoriously liberal website of the same name.

2. Your "arguments" here have rapidly descended into nothing more than repetitive far left wing liberal drivel, replete with all the standard code words.

3. You rarely, if ever, respond to questions and comments, but instead simply continue to spout more of the childish "skull full of mush" talking points we can get from any Argentine college student.

4. Outside of this political thread, you've never posted anything more than questions and bland, generalized, generic comments about Buenos Aires.

5. You've never posted an actual review of your encounter with a chica.

-

In short, you are using my forum to spout off brainless liberal drivel that we can get just by visiting your moveon dot com or thehuffingtonpost dot com.

Therefor, having made this finding, I am invoking the "Ricardo rule": [B]Your next five posts must be detailed descriptions of your encounters with working girls here in Buenos Aires. [/B]

Thanks,

Jackson[/blue][/QUOTE]

Ricardo Rule?! LOL

Moveon registered back in 2008 and posted a couple of short reviews. So I think this 'Ricardo Rule' on him is a bit heavy handed. I know liberal, professional political operatives have AP on their radar because of its tremendous influence in conservative politics, but would one really be so obvious as to pick the name 'Moveon'? ;)

[QUOTE=Jackson;413203]If "landmark health care reform and financial reform" are both so fucking good, then perhaps you can explain why not one single Democrat congressional candidate is campaigning on either of these Democratic "accomplishments"? [/QUOTE]Categorically false. I really hoped better from you.

Here are just five Democrats who have TV ads that reference health care:

Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D- ND)
Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY)
Rep. Scott Murphy (D-NY)
Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)
Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI)

Here's one : [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMh0b3_S3EQ[/url]

Yes overall, healthcare reform is not a major campaign focus for Dems. Mostly because there are a lot more things in play that need attention to move voters. While the individual mandate is unpopular, many of the provisions in the Affordable Care Act are very popular. Republicans, right wing media and special interests have thrown a lot of mud at the issue to get folks riled up, at this juncture many Dems (but not all) have simply decided it is more important to focus on other things. Like what they stand for and what their opponents stand for. You know all this, it is standard election cycle fare.

[blue]Moveon,

No one can conclude that you're a professional political operative when you write as you did in your last post.

However, you emulate the profile of a professional political operative when you use phrases like "FEMA concentration camps", "Tea Bagger's", "Bush cocksuckers", and "retarded President".

Get it?

Thanks,

Jackson[/blue]

[/QUOTE]Thats what always happens at crunch time. The protest vote burns brightly until the folks really think they me get some people in power. Almost all Tea supports in theory will vote GOP in a couple weeks. Folks are really pissed off these days.

Happy Mongering All,

Toymann

Five!

Five out of 311 Democrats running for House and Senate seats?

That's only 1.6% of all the Democrats running for House and Senate seats who are willing at best to "reference" health care in their campaigns?

Man, that's thin!

Thanks,

Jackson.

Obama et. Al. Have been touting the Stimulus (which saved the world as we know it) and ObamaCare since they shoved it through Congress amid outrage from voters. Now most of the Democrats are considering these 'achievements' to be Toxic and will not go near them on the campaign trail.

Now tell me again about how wonderful ObamaCare is? Remember how they sold the program based on how it will reduce costs and cover everyone? Now Obama is craw-fishing saying he never promised the program would reduce costs. As parts of ObamaCare come into force the insurance companies are not writing new policies since the 2,000 page bill does not specifically lay out the rules under which they must operate – no, that comes later from HHS and other government entities. That's why you see all the back peddling regarding new policies, guidelines and costs from the government.

After all the ballyhoo on ObamaCare, everyone is realizing there is no 'free lunch' someone is going to have to pick up the tab. People are recognizing that 'Government Money' is the money they stole from their pay checks in the first place!

Now Obama is considering raising the Federal gas tax to pay for roads, runways, and other infrastructure. Hey didn't we take care of that with the Stimulus, sure thought I saw a lot of signs telling us that what they spent it on, so why are we needing to raise the gas tax? Yet another promise broken by Obama – not raising taxes on the middle class. ROTFLMAO.

While I'm on a roll here how about the Marriage Penalty, Obama wants individuals up to $200K and married couples up to $250K not to pay additional taxes, so two unmarried folks living together (in sin) can make a combined income of $400K (200K each) while a married couple can only drag in $250K so we now have Penalty for being married of $150K – what a wonderful guy to discriminate against folks who do the 'right thing'.

Esten, you're a bright guy, don't tell me you actually believe the Tea Party is an actual political party and not a conservative movement more in tune to the GOP of 20 year ago. So your statement of the Tea Party getting votes on Nov 2nd is inane. Now if you want to talk about candidates they helped elect in the GOP primaries you have a real looser on your hands so break out the plastic for the Toyman's night at Madahos.

Her position is geared towards getting more (other than spunk) out of the govt.

p. Maybe he hasn't been so influencial as he might have thought, or maybe even MORE! LOL
