That makes total sense.

"It's been a long time since Congress was focused on what the American people need them to be focused on," the Democrat charged in an email with the subject line: "Frustrated."

HAH!  I love how the LA Times has to mention that the President is a democrat.  Like we don't all already know that.  It stands out in such glaring detail, because the MFM never tells the reader that early in a story if someone's a democrat; only if they're a wackadoodle republican.

And why the heck did they capitalize "the Democrat?"  It's not a proper noun.  "House Republicans" yes, because it's a specific group, but Obama is hardly the only democrat in the country (more's the g-ddamned pity).

Carney says "Americans are sick and tired of the partisan bickering". 

No, you useless cock-gobbler, Americans are sick of the fact that an 11-year-old boy who still wears diapers is the one who is in charge of running the country.  Fuck you.

11 There is something wrong mentally with that fucking SCOAMF. Seriously starting to sound deranged. Guess what fucktard? "Congress" isn't on the ballot as a presidential contender in 2012.

12 It's all Bush's Congress' fault

13 Amanda -- (yes, Amanda.  As in Amanda Huginkiss, the name I registered under)

Today I asked for a joint session of Congress where I will lay out a clear plan to get Americans back to work. (We Americans haven't been on vacation.  We don't need to "get back to work."  WE haven't been on vacation, or out golfing.  We need a government which does not burden businesses with such staggering taxation and regulation that they become advers to investments and hirring.)  Next week, I will deliver the details of the plan and call on lawmakers to pass it.  (Is this the same plan that you promised to deliver when you returned from your vacation, or the plan you pomised to deliver when you returned from your vacation last year?)

Whether they will do the job they were elected to do is ultimately up to them.  (Just like whether you will do the job you were elected to do is ultimately up to you and the greenskeeper.)

But both you and I can pressure them to do the right thing. (If you can put pressure on them, then why didn't you do that during the recent budget debacle?  Or for that matter, why haven't you pressured them to pass a budget at any poiint in the last two years?)  We can send the message that the American people are playing by the rules and meeting their responsibilities -- and it's time for our leaders in Congress to meet theirs.  (Meeting responsibilities?  Really?  What single responsibility have you met)

And we must hold them accountable if they don't.  (Why, can't they blame Bush, too?

So I'm asking you to stand with me in calling on Congress to step up and take action on jobs:  (I'm calling on YOU to stand up and present an actual workable plan to make America business friendly.)
Link redacted, because fuck that stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure.

No matter how things go in the weeks and months ahead, this will be an important challenge for our organization.  (Here's an important challenge for you:  stop worrying about your handicap, and start worrying about the people you supposedly work for--and I don't mean the ones who can afford $35K dinners with you.)
It's been a long time since Congress was focused on what the American people need them to be focused on.  (Hi Pot, this is kettle.)

I know that you're frustrated by that. I am, too.  (Why?  You have a job.  You are a millionaire.  You don't have to eat your peas.)

That's why I'm putting forward a set of bipartisan proposals to help grow the economy and create jobs -- that means strengthening our small businesses, giving needed breaks to middle-class families, while taking responsible steps to bring down our deficit.  (Um, you are a democrat.  How can YOU put forth a set of bipartisan proposals?  It takes two to be bipartisan--but you know that, being all Harvard educated and shit, right?  You also know that you can't really create jobs--you can only encourage an environment where business growth is encouraged--because the government hiring people isn't "job creation."  As for being responsible about bringing down the deficit--does this mean you won't be adding an additional three trillion in debt to our backs in the next couple years?

I'm asking lawmakers to look past short-term politics and take action on that plan. But we've got to do this together.  (I'm asking you to look beyond short term politics and do what is best for the country, too.  By that, I mean take a long drive with a Kennedy.  Go skiing with a Bono.  Go hunting with Dick Cheney.  Do it together with Joe.)

I will deliver this message to Congress next week, but I'm asking you to stand alongside me today:

14 I'm actually surprised that Carney would have the courage to get in front of the cameras again, let alone to again spout the same or worse BS that he always does.

I don't think that it is a good thing for anybody who is without any shred of shame to be speaking for this country.  That includes politicians.

15 I don't think government works the way he thinks it does.

21 He's cracking up. Slowly but he's unraveling.

Forget whether he wants another four years -- he cannot possibly handle another four years. Either can we of course but he really can't.

22 This "major speech" next week is going to be a doozy. 

Are the Supremes required to be there?  Are reps and senators actually required to be there?

I know there are standing applause moments, but how about catcalls and boos?

How about "you lie!" when it is in response to a factual lie, of which there will be plenty?

The professor-in-chief, the lecturer, the scolder, the adult-in-the-room, the boring jerk, will be trying his damnedness to seem to rise up above the partisan fray, but it will be obvious to even an alien from Mars that he is deep in the muddy pit.

23 That darned congress that the dOpe used to control is ruining his golf schedule, not to mention failing to get him his jobs plan. Ignorant, vile racists.

24

WE aren't swayed, but that's because we're politically aware.

Here's the way the issue was reported on AP Radio News this morning (paraphrased):  "Obama will address a joint session of Congress on September 8 to present his jobs plan.  He was previously going to address Congress on the 7th, but John Boehner refused as that would conflict with the scheduled GOP debate that evening."

Obama didn't cave.  He got what he wanted..."compromise" on an issue meaningless to him and a talking point.

And what helps with frustration? Playing a round of golf or two. I bet he'll be on the links this weekend.

31 27 Peaches,

32

Blame Congress?

Why won't the Republicans point out that the dems had unfettered control of congress for almost a year (from the inauguration of Franken to the inauguration of Scott Brown). The democrats could have passed 1,000 laws during that time, but instead elected to argue amonst themselves over the terms of Obamacare.

It is the democrats and Obama who dropped the ball ... spooging all over national health care instead of dealing with the environment.

When Obama blames Congress, he is pointing out his own failure.

33 "It's been a long time since Congress was focused on what the American people need them to be focused on," the Democrat charged in an email with the subject line: "Frustrated."

Since January 4th, 2007.

34 I doubt this kerfuffle lasted long enough for most people to even notice.

35 31 Timmy,

what's really funny about King Putt's 'strategy' is that in flaming an opposition Congress while also throwing Dingy harry under the verbal bus he is attacking the easiest and hardest to defend house both....

in the wrong order for his goal....

the Senate is VERY vulnerable and the house is always a 435 yard fight....

"smart power!"

as Orca Winfrey knows it is all about the O baby

36 Actually federal family makes sense.  "They'll be around the table at the will too, hand out, just like the rest of them" said granny

37 “It’s been a long time since Congress was focused on what the American people need them to be focused on.” We know. That’s why Tea Party candidates won in 2010 and will win more seats in 2012. But somehow I don’t think that’s what he meant.

38

Obama's plan - pass a law requiring every business to hire 10 more people.  Problem solved.

Next problem please.

I wonder who Obama thinks he's bullsh*tting.

This isn't going to work because a large part of the American public are hapless idiots.

I remember in 2008 that the majority of voters thought that the republicans controlled congress.

42 I bet NBC would love to whack Obama across the face with a sock full of rocks.  How many NFL fans do you think are going to tune in for the season opener, and then get pissed when they're forced to listen to analysis of the jugeared SCOAMF's non-plan instead?  If I were NBC, I'd keep the football (pregame and all) and relegate the prez to the NBC graveyard (aka MSNBC).  Their (NBC's) ratings would SOAR.

I don't think so maybe he could pull the "I am here and not part of the problem game" into '09 but the heady days of gainting are over...

people are fainting at the gas pump and when they get their lightbill and last unemployment check....not when Obamacles the Dull gets in front of Moutn Bullshitus and speaks

44 With Obama's first lie next week someone should stand up, yell out You're Full Of Shit Mr. President...then all of the GOP walks out single file.

45 45 Ben,

yup and who'd they elect to 'blame" in '10....

people get hungry enough they get mad they get mad enough they pay attention....

Moochelle and Bury's Vacacay habit will lose him the working poor.

47 He sure talks about getting back to work a lot.
Joe Biden's trip to china ended with him taking a break here in Hawaii--of course, he did give a speech to the Marines at Kaneohe MCAS--those who they could catch before they made it off base--then Joey hit the links too, and spent the weekend here.

Can we replace the AF 1/2  plane with whatever The big bopper flew on?

52 Right. Intentionally choosing the same night for your big speech as a Republican debate - THAT isn't going to piss off the electorate. That "dust up" was cause by one thing and one thing only - OBAMA. Fucking moron.

53 Democrats had control of the House and Senate from 2007 until January 2011. Why does Obama hate Democrats?

55 Well, people may dislike Congress, but they seem to be liking Perry.

Rasmussen has Perry up on Obama, 44% to 41%.  Survey of likely voters.  First time Perry is up on Obama in Ras.  Other GOPs are slightly behind Obama. 

I'm braced for the jerks at Politico and NBC (they're running the debate, right?) to try to submarine Rick next week.  Fingers crossed he weathers the assault.

They will.  Because NBC would piss off the advertisers that have paid money for their commercials to play during a football game.  And their pregame is supposed to start at 7:30pm and kickoff is at 8:30pm.  No way do they hurt that revenue stream, because Fox and CBS would probably love to get that Sunday Night coverage once NBC's current contract is up, and dicking over advertisers is not going to be a plus for NBC.

57

Carney says "Americans are sick and tired of the partisan bickering" in the capital. He argues that Obama wants to focus on "things we can do" to spur the economy.

Oh, and Tea Partiers are terrorists.

58 Bottom line: I think it's painfully obvious that the Mexicans don't have enough guns and that this country has entirely too many guitars.

Fix these problems and the stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure in the White House wins another term.

it's in the margin of errors but realiable since last time Obama was up 3- also in the margin of error. I think Gallup got it right that it's a tie which is bad for Obama considering Perry has not as much name recognition and has had the media already come out begging the GOP not to nominate him. It also destroys the GOP establishment elite, and certain Romney talk radio supporters, to sto the Perry is unelectable crap.

The GOP Debate this upcoming Tuesday will be a great way for Perry to introduce himself to those on the fence that decide to tune in.

PS - Ras has Obama at 43% approval and I think Romney going from being competitive to Obama to losing to him shows people are not liking him as an alternative anymore, Generic GOP still beats Obama also

64 speaking of women whose names begin with "M":  "

From Ras:

Perry leads Obama by 70 percentage points among Republicans while Romney leads by 63. The president leads all three among unaffiliated voters. However, the presidentÂ’s support among unaffiliateds ranges from 41% to 44% and a quarter of unaffiliateds remain either undecided or interested in a third party option

Yep. 

Obama is floundering.  His unforced error yesterday is one sign of it, but even had he not gotten into a pissing match with Boehner, I just don't see how another speech is going to help him.  He needs a little less talk and a lot more action!

all my analysis of the poll numbers of Obama seem to show that he was reaching new lows post-the bump he got from the Gabby Giffors shooting AZ Memorial speech. BUT the Osama killing lead to a bump where he was at 50-53 depending on what polls you saw for about a month. The debt debate hit and his approvals went back to their pre-Osama killing levels of the mid 40s. The downgrade has given him new records in the high 30s to low 40s. The downgrade seems to be what has finally made some Americans give up on giving this guy patience.

102 Dude, you see the Rasmussen poll? Perry is doing great out of the gate. What happened to Romney? He's losing now.

103 "I remember in 2008 that the majority of voters thought that the republicans controlled congress." POTUS is the face of the government. POTUS is the face of the economy. That's just the way it is. Obama and the MFM have been trying to pass the blame on the economy onto the GOP 1/2 of 1/3. Once the MFM and democrat lifers satisfy themselves that this will never work, they will turn on Obama to protect the collectivist brand. Obama will have to STFU and take this marginalization quietly because he has pulled enough crazy shit already to be removed from office multiple times. The fap-inducing piece is that the best way for the left to disassociate their collectivist agenda from the loser is to paint him as a right-winger and then kick him to the curb. The fever swamps have already opened that door.

113 107 FTL,

yup....

you can win ANY argument with any intellectually honest moderate on Bury being "the only adult in the room" by saying this simple line:

Barack spent over a trillion dollar on a stimulus that he said would cut unemployment to below 8% it is now 9.2% and climbing, the bill we paid for his spending as much as 8 years of bush in 3 was the downgrade....reelected he will spend almost triple the Bush era in deficit spending......

you had enough?


Barry is done

114

I love the new found meme against partisan bickering.  As if when W was in office the dems sat idley and quietly by, all peaceful like.  The vitriol that was spewed during those years by the libs/dems/msm/antiwar movement (where are they at now by the way) was nothing short of staggering......

 

115 Hey, did you guys see the new definition for "the yips" in the sidebar?

116

For 8 years the msm told us that we were in a recession when we weren't, those were the bush years.  For 3 years the msm has been telling us we aren't in a recession when we are, these are the obama years.  Now they are going to try to convince us that Obama isn't really responsible for anything that has happened while he was President.  That's right, he is an outsider. That's the narrative and they are hoping we will go along with it.

117 112 Ben,

the important poll is the one finding his support is down to 38-41% with women.....

he loses the white female crossover vote that swooned back in '08 he is toast.....

not even the entire cartoon cast of disney voting in all 57 states in all precincts will save him

118 121 Ben,

also with regards to your sidebar on bambi wanting to community organize online petitions.....

I think flooding him with "recall democrat" petitions will work just fine...

119 There once was an ass named Barack, who's ego far outgrew his cock.
He made lots of demands,then sat on his hands,while his base gasped in shock,
as he caved once again, to a much stronger man,who bitch slapped the dick on the clock. Now he's crawling on the screen,on the NFL's opening scene, thinking the fans want to see his jug-eared mug,but yet again he is wrong,we've all heard this song, and the country will flip the bird to this Chicago thug.

120 on the other hand, I'm tired and sick of Washington and their games.

121 Interesting thing at Yahoo.  Originally the article was titled "Obama Bows to Boehner..."  Now the link says "Obama yields to Boehner" and the title has been changed to "Timing clash settled..."

122 I was watching news program with a panel yesterday where one on the panel pointed out all of the good things the government has done in the past - the Hoover Dam, Interstate Roads.  They say this with the clear implication that things like this could be done today.  They couldn't.  I say this because this government spent one trillion dollars in the last stimulus and there is absolutely nothing to show for it.  Which begs the question; Just exactly how much would the government need to spend to truly have something to show for it?  Something that would actually make a difference in spending?  Even by the government's own estimates going into the last stimulus, for every job they estimated they would create, they would have spent $200k.  Any new stimulus, if present history holds true, would need to be greater than one trillion dollars.   How much greater?  No body I think knows, but I don't think we should experiment until we find out.

123

>>Interesting thing at Yahoo. Originally the article was titled "Obama Bows to Boehner..." Now the link says "Obama yields to Boehner" and the title has been changed to "Timing clash settled..."

indeed. If it wasn't for women voters the GOP would never lose an election.

Women are one of the democrats core consituencies.

 

126 Dear God, won't someone let me be clear!!

127

It is so confusing: when we have a President that the MFM assures us is an idiot, he can run roughshod over Congress even when the other party controls both houses of it!  Then when the genius of the western world becomes President, even having one house controlled by the other party transforms him into a helpless bystander to events!

This is a public shout-out to Chriss Matthews or Al Sharpton - please help us uneducated mouth-breathers understand this apparent contradiction!

Hey, I just looked up "contradiction" in the dictionary - cool word - I think I will try to use it in sentences a lot.  Shouldn't be too hard I'm thinking, right?

ps. Actually I looked under "F" for "fuckin' contradiction" first.

128 If Palin does not get in, I'll support Perry. He seems like a sleezebag and does not seem like the reformer Palin would be but  he is the most conservative there and Anybody But SCOAMF except Romney.

129

... Obama wants to focus on "things we can do" to spur the economy.

Heh.  I can think of one thing that will spur the economy, and it has the word resignation in it.

130

If it wasn't for women voters the GOP would never lose an election.

And the dead - can't forget them!

131 134 Sherlock,

I suspect the voter fraud was about as high as it sanely can be in '08 and we understood that in the face of the wave election and HISTORY! and the newsies wanting to go lewinsky to barry we couldn't fight it.....

this ain't '08 and Perry ain't Mccain

132

The stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure we affectionately know asÂ… no need to repeat myself, but anyway, he said, “…utility rates would necessarily have to sky rocket.”   What if the power system just failed instead?  WouldnÂ’t that satisfy SCOAMFÂ’s needs just as well?  Just by doing this one simple thing, which by the way, he also encourages, this could easily happen.

133 He seems like a sleezebag and does not seem like the reformer Palin would be but  he is the most conservative there

Bachmann is more conservative than Perry is.

I am behind Perry, but if you have real concerns about his ethics, you really should keep digging into his record.  I satisfied myself that there was "heap big smoke, not much fire" to the charges, but you should do that for yourself.  Otherwise, you should probably support Bachmann.

136

This is actualy intersting...

Obama ran last election as a Moderate outsider.  He kept talking about not raising taxes on those under 200k, he kept talking about Gov in gridlock and creating a Post Partisan environment...

Now, as Staff IS Policy, he has ruled as a Socialist Progresive who wants the Government in control of everything (he does not do these things, but he picked the people making it happen, and he is not stopping it)...

But he is now trying to once more 'appear' as a Washington OUTSIDER... now its all those evil Congressmen who are Washington... trying to gloss over the fact that he was part of that club a couple of years ago...

Question is, how stupid is the electorate... and will they be blinded by his Ethnicity and believe him? or will they understand that he is an uneffective BETA Politician, with delusions of adequacy?

137

The stimulus didn't do squat for two reasons, one, it was a source of payoffs to Dem cronies at various levels, and two, the regulations and oversight built in to the expenditure of federally supplied funds are so vast and complicated that you could start mining iron ore on Mars, get it back to Earth, smelt it, and create a new shovel (for the shovel-ready job) before the paperwork and approvals for the project would be done.

140 140 Romeo 13,

141 Creepy picture, very Saintly, no?! And, probably because his email client doesn't include a teleprompter feature, he has tripped the wire by indicating that he will "deliver the details of the plan". KA-Boom! I think we've got him by the "details" now! Only wish the debate came after the "details"! Thanks for the Louisville Slugger, Barack, can't wait to swing it!

142 Ah, wouldn't be surprised if the whole "let's schedule the talk for an impossible date" was a fundraising tactic all along. They were expecting an official response from Republicans that mentioned the debate, I think, the reasonable sounding Boehner response makes the letter fall a little flat. They probably had to edit out a few lines about "Republicans in Congress would rather waste time playing politics instead of focusing on your jobs." but they can't exactly say "Republican leaders in Congress would rather focus on keeping me secure than on your jobs." it doesn't have quite the same ring.

143 From Drudge: 2 out of 3 Americans blame the President for the economy.

Preference Cascade!

144

Of course, in a prefect world, Speaker Boner would simply say "No" when SCOAMF asked to address a joint session.  Not "Not tonight, we have a debate" or "Howabout Thursday?"  Just a simple "No."

Let him make his speech from the white house, lay out his plan before the American people, not with a cheering audience from his supporters.  Let his points stand on their owm, let his plan be judged, not just shower congress with platitudes and talking points, but address a real plan.

Oh, and FWIW, senate and the house = congress.  A "Joint Session: of congress is redundant.

Yes.  But the money is gone.  We have a 15 trillion dollar economy.  One trillion dollars should have made a ripple in that pond even if it was simply squandered.  It didn't.  Seven percent is a significant part of any number.  I bet you would feel a seven percent raise in your salary.  Instead - nothing.

152 Boehner should come back and say, "I completely agree with the President.  The House has past numerous bills to address the great budgetary and fiscal concerns facing our country and they have all stalled in the Senate.  I am frustrated as well."

153

For 8 years the msm told us that we were in a recession when we weren't, those were the bush years.  For 3 years the msm has been telling us we aren't in a recession when we are, these are the obama years.  Now they are going to try to convince us that Obama isn't really responsible for anything that has happened while he was President.  That's right, he is an outsider.

Fixed.

164 They were expecting an official response from Republicans that mentioned the debate, I think, the reasonable sounding Boehner response makes the letter fall a little flat.

Our local Fox affiliate was going with "because of the Republican debate" on the news scroll this morning, despite what Boehner said.

I still think Boehner played this very well, however.  And I don't think Obama's gambit will sway anyone toward his side.  At best for him it's a neutral... until next Thursday when he's screwing up football. 

165 Interesting that a president, "who is smarter than almost anyone you know, whoÂ’s nicer and who has more compassion than almost anyone you know", would turn out to be so lacking in leadership. Then again, given the kind of geniuses that your average actor hangs out with, I'm not sure that "smarter than almost anyone you know" is setting the bar very high.

There's only so much that reasonable people can take when they are lied to and lied about, constantly. But when partisans simultaneously vilify people and disarm them through political correctness? When you make people feel helpless enough, for long enough? Eventually something big and bad is going to happen.

Our culture is spiraling out of control. And our leader is a SCOAMF.  With freaks like Loughner and McVay in our midst, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that the left and the MFM are purposefully crushing the economy and taunting the rest of the population in hopes of igniting "the next incident".

185 What really astonishes me at times is, How the HELL did we get to this juncture, exactly? I thought Reagan ushered in an era of at least 30 years of conservative government... but now it turns out that beginning under Bush I, the whole conservative structure of our country had begun to be eroded from within, insidiously by the educators that filled young people's minds with PC bullshit that ultimately made Socialism seem perfectly acceptable to them. Coupled with policies like forcing banks to make loans to potential Deadbeats of Color, the groundwork for Obama was being laid as we rested on our laurels and were completely oblivious to what was happening. Shame on us.

Plus, he luvs him a captive audience.  I'd love to see him get heckled or booed but we know that will never happen.  the best we can hope for from the republicans is the silence I'm convinced he's counting on.

194 175 I thought Krauthammer had a good point yesterday when he said that Boehner should have moved the debate to 9:00, immediately followig the SCoaMF's speech and then let all the candidates tear him to shreds.

The problem is, Boehner doesn't control the debate.  I doubt even Nancy Reagan controls it.  Politico and (MS)NBC control it.  Also, unless the format is very different from other non-debate debates, they would have very little opportunity to address what Obama said, even if they had a chance to watch his speech. 

The game is rigged as far as controlling the media narrative.  That doesn't mean we don't keep pushing back, but there's only so much we can do.

IIRC, Krauthammer's main point was that Boehner should not have even pushed back -- he should have given Obama the time he asked for.  That's dead wrong. 

195 @194, indeed, I blame the two booshes, they let the country rot by failing to fight political correctness. And W for not fighting for his non-supreme court nominees. as PJ Orourke said, being conservative isn't just about foreign militaristic adventurism, we needed to stand up to the teacher unions, the pc thugs, and to the race baiting shake down artists over the last 30 years.

My prediction is this 50 year old construction company will not last more than 2 more years.... as they are now cutting the meat, not the fat...

216 Wow, the Gibson guitar story gets more interesting every day.  Now the CEO is claiming the Obama admin promised the problem would "go away" if they used African labor.  Holy shite.

I blame Clinton more.  He brought down the office of President more than anyone since Nixon and in a more damaging way, really, since it was all dismissed "boys will be boys."  At least everyone acknowledged the corruption in Nixon's administration.

Clinton set the tone for accepting voter fraud and squirrelly campaign financing and private deals with guys like Soros.  It was his administration that saw the full-throated knob-polishing by the media (the most since Kennedy and, frankly, the whole country was under a spell with Kennedy). 

The worst modern day presidents in my book were/are: Obama, Clinton, then Carter. 

220 I am embarrassed on behalf of my gender for that statistic.  I thought people hate it when their mother nags 'em.  As far as pregnancy goes, I was conservative before and after.  Now, I just can't remember shit.

221 "156 "I think flooding him with 'recall democrat' petitions will work just fine..." No need. Seriously. They are going to be swamped with the crazee (but *sincere*) from their own side. " When the white house had that twitter townhall a couple months ago, the stupidity of the questions was hilarious. And I'm not referring to the Iowahawk stuff, I'm talking about the tweets from people who actually like Obama. Fortunately I have some nieces and nephews in their twenties, so I know that the entire generation isn't made up of imbeciles.

222

H>>>ow often is that an automatic bid (VP becoming the nominee)? 

In the past 30 years, Biden and George HW Bush.

Gore, Cheney and Quayle didn't run in the primaries.

I doubt that Perry would pick Romney or Romney would pick Perry, nor do I think either of them would want to be Vice President.

I'd still put 100 bucks on it being Rubio.

well.....the closing of the solar co in california..........they got how much stimulus money? and the backers were all uber riche liberals?  and obama went out their personally...........things that make you say wtf?

Huh, that's not what I thought the SCOAMF meant by "pivoting on jobs."

227 220 Cherry Pi,

the Bush clan and I campaigned for his dad before I could vote were in essence selling 75% of what the donks want at 85% of the price....

Sorry to hear about your sister and father-in-law. 

Boy things are horrible out there right now.  I almost fainted from sticker shock at the grocery store yesterday. 

229 I think it is an awesome idea for the SCOAMF to run against an incompetent congress since the SCOAMF is going down big in 2012 he might just as well drag 23 Rat Senasters down with him like he did in 2010.

You'd think the Rats would see this and jettison the flotsum but evidently they are too damn stupid to see his gonna sink the whole Rat filled ship.
GOOD!

230

This is exactly why the government should have its spending slashed.  Because of government incompetence and lack of accountability, our own government is actually complicit in killing our own soldiers.

231 Boy things are horrible out there right now. I almost fainted from sticker shock at the grocery store yesterday. Posted by: Y-not at September 01, 2011 11:36 AM (5H6zj) But remember... the cost of your food and of your energy is NOT "core inflation." I hope one thing a President Perry DEMANDS is an accurate measure of inflation. AND true unemployment.

232 @194 CoolCzech @206 joeindc44 I think you're using the wrong frame of reference. The Reagan years were a sharp outlier. One of the big reasons why he could make it "Morning in America" is because the late-60s and 70s were so damned dark. FDR's New Deal was probably the fatal blow.

233 Ot but the Gibson CEO has sure been great making the talk show rounds.
That is one nasty story.

But every time he talks, I keep thinking he just smoked a big 'ol fattie.

234 Ya the more and more I look at all those electoral votes in Florida.... I think you have to win Florida. If the internal polling of Florida with Rubio as Veep tells Republicans that they win Florida with Rubio they almost have to go with him. I still don't like the urge I get to pinch Rubio's cheeks.... It's weird. I know I left the barn door wide open on my six with that.

235

FRONT TOWARD LEFt

 

we need someone to run on the reverse the new deal platform...........

236 @243, I've made that point before too. The Reagan era was a bright spot in post FDR america.

237 "My gender is over-represented in the dem category and I do not understand why." There's also the abortion issue. There are women who don't like the idea of abortion,but want to be sure that if they or their daughters find themselves with an inconvenient pregnancy, they will have the option of abortion. It's a moral squishiness. "I think abortion is wrong for me, but I want it available just in case." I know a lot of Catholics who are pro choice. During the 08 election my sister and I were pointing out to women, especially Catholic women, Obama's support for late term abortion.

238

So will the SCOFMF's SCOAMF's nickname be the yipper?

I'm the awesomest.  For realsies.

242 The Texas drought isn't helping food prices or cotton prices.  I'm sure that will be the next thing the President blames the economy on.  If it hadn't been for Irene and the drought and Bush and Congress, this economy would be fantastic.  Ugh!

that line of thinking just creeps me out..........and has been one of  the many  wedges in my relationship with my mil..........

244 219 Holy shit, what is that smell?  I think it's PronDonkey tears.

245 We need Florida but we need the Upper Midwest. 

I think Florida is a surer bet than the Midwest is. 

My gut tells me that when an electorate decides to toss out an incumbent, they are probably (1) scared but also (2) risk-averse. Romney is flawed as a conservative, but he is very "safe" to a lot of the public.  Perry's come on strong, but Romney is holding a good chunk of votes.  I think that says something about him.  We joke about the Presidential hair, but what it really boils down to is he seems like a competent guy. 

I love Rubio and certainly wouldn't be sad to see him on the ticket, but I think if Romney could be persuaded to drop out sooner rather than later, it would be well worth him as VP.  If he drops out, Perry can run more centrist which would be better for him in the general.  Otherwise, I think he has to run right to prove how Tea Party he is and grab Bachmann's supporters.  Given how screwed up the TP seems to be lately, is that what we want going into the general?

246 253 The Texas drought isn't helping food prices or cotton prices. I'm sure that will be the next thing the President blames the economy on.

247 nerdygirl is absolutely correct . . . and once they've actually HAD an abortion? LOOK OUT! Dems forever.

248 "People from the Upper West Side" .... that is funny.

249 if perry runs as a centrist........we are screwed....

250 There's also the abortion issue. There are women who don't like the idea of abortion,but want to be sure that if they or their daughters find themselves with an inconvenient pregnancy, they will have the option of abortion.

Dads and boyfriends, too. 

251 @22567: I understand your point, Y-not. You are a smart cookie... I would just hate to see Perry & Romney win the election, only to see something happen to Perry 6 months later...

252 Just wait till ya all hear the awesomeness of the Wons speech!
He will have a plan to eliminate business strangling regulations, ( but none of his) and
He will have an infrastructure bank, (stimulus II slush fund for unions) and
He will have extended unemployment benefits, (since unemployment benefits =jobs) and
He will give money to schools to teach people how to do jobs (even though there aren't any)
He will continue the reduced payroll contributions and advocate reducing the employers amount ( evne though SS is going broke) and
he will blame Bush and republicans!

253 Going to see Rubio on the 13th, fundraiser for the Jesse Helms Center, will report back after a first hand look.

254 Check liberal / conservative breakdown of females with and without children and you'll probably see a statistically significant difference

It's not children (an obvious counterexemplary many-child-having demographic comes to mind, doesn't it?); it's being married that makes that difference. When a woman understands herself to share a fate with men (e.g., her husband), she's (statistically) a Republican, because government-by-Republicans is marginally less bad for men (as a whole).

But that's not the thing.

Generally, as shown by their revealed preference in all things, women are more susceptible to advertising (and other analogous social pressures) than men are. They buy, wear, say, and behave as they're told—not by other individuals, necessarily, but by "the culture." And American culture—entertainment, education, etc.—authoritatively asserts that Republicans are women's enemy. And it says that all day, every day.

They believe it. Men don't.

And there's a reason for that, but it makes people flip the hell out if you talk about it, so—

255 260 if perry runs as a centrist........we are screwed....

I don't care how he packages himself.  His record is clear, warts and all.  He's conservative enough for me.  He doesn't have to tailor his message to me.  Let him try to appeal to independents and conservative Democrats. 

I think his opening gambit on gay marriage (and abortion) as a states' rights issue was perfect.  It's a shame that he had to add in the constitutional amendment thing, even though I agree with him.  Why rub "moderates'" noses in that sort of issue?  We want to make it easy for people to vote for him.  One way to do that is to let them ignore Perry's social conservative creds. 

256 253 The Texas drought isn't helping food prices or cotton prices.  I'm sure that will be the next thing the President blames the economy on.  If it hadn't been for Irene and the drought and Bush and Congress, this economy would be fantastic.  Ugh!

Fuck cotton, it's killing all the quail, really.

257 @262
Well, yeah, you're right about that.  Shit happens. 

I guess I'm trusting that if Obama loses, we also get back the Senate and (I would hope) gain traction in the House, making it more conservative not less conservative. 

258 Go Flutie!

259 Well, September is here and we are being rewarded with a cool front, so I think I'll go walk the doggeh before it warms up.  Have fun, folks!

260 He's conservative enough for me.

To me, being conservative isn't enough.  The candidate must understand what the Left has become, and hammer all their sources of funding under the guise of "reform".  I want someone ruthless.

I don't know who this candidate is at the moment.

261 But remember... the cost of your food and of your energy is NOT "core inflation." Thats not what QBooks tells me

262 ** He's conservative enough for me. ** This is nice but I like Bachmann's pledge, the mother of all repeal bills. I at least sense that she gets it. But, we know that all bitches hate conservative female politicians, so she can't win. And the left is trying to destroy her (redundant, they do that to everyone) but there's something about female conservative pols that everyone's willing to believe that they're kooks. She's Lutheran and people are acting like she worships snakes.

263 They buy, wear, say, and behave as they're told—not by other individuals, necessarily, but by "the culture." =-=-=- Mardi Gras. Beads.

264 I like how Obama has not been corrupted by the swamps of Washington.  Thatnk God he's keepin' it real!

Well with this kind of thinking I guess we can expect another 4 years of Obama.Purity of any candidate is not going to happen. I'm not sure right now either about Perry, but he sure as hell is better than Obama. Whoever the Republican candidate is I'm voting for him/her, ham sandwich included.

nerdygirl is absolutely correct . . . and once they've actually HAD an abortion? LOOK OUT! Dems forever.

That is simply not true. Or, it may be, but only for some. I've never met a woman who had an abortion and didn't experience heartbreak and regret over having done it. That guilt, for many, is never-ending. Those are the same women who outgrow the liberalism of their youth.

The women to whom you refer are, not uncoincidentally, also immersed in the gimme mentality. It isn't the abortion which makes them die-hard liberals. That brand of politics is already firmly imbedded in their psyche to begin with.

269 From Jan. 2001 to Jan. 2009 everything was all the president's (Bush) fault. Starting in Jan. 2011 it's all Congress's fault. Funny way the government works that way

270 **From Jan. 2001 to Jan. 2009 everything was all the president's (Bush) fault. Starting in Jan. 2011 it's all Congress's fault. Funny way the government works that way** Blame Boehner. I know GOP politicians don't have much of a bully pulpit but he should have maintained a message, we were elected in Nov 2010 to stop this runaway administration from spending us into dirt. But no, he caved.

271 I don't care, Obama is cool and awesome. 

His farts smell like lilac blossoms in a morning dew.

272

Obama accepted the Thursday slot because that was the desired outcome.  He and his people know that his major "jobs" speech will be watched by exactly nobody, even if it is scheduled opposite reruns of Supertrain.  By being "forced" by disrespectful nitpicking Republicans to compete against the NFL season opener, he has a manufactured excuse for chirping crickets.

273 283 Nicolo,

yeah Wile E Obama pure genius...

so he comes off as an arrogant douche nozzle, convinces no one that isn't already in his camp that Boner is out of control, and still gets *crickets*....
