I'm sensing a bit of a seachange.... albeit little bit.

I think TFG is wading into the optics where he is the one viewed as not negotiating/compromising in good faith.

Yeah.... us Morons could see that a mile away... but... My libtard Kalifornia brother commented to me this morning that he thinks Obama is mucking this up.

15 To 0bama, anything not uttered by him is 'a whole bunch of ideological positions that donÂ’t make much sense'.

16 Obama says Boehner's Plan B is a non-starter because raising taxes on millionaires is really a tax cut for them and a tax hike on the middle class.

And chocolate rations are being increased from 25 grams to 20 grams.

17 Gingrich to GOP: Go home, let Democrats take the blame..." I agree

18 If taxes go up for $250K a year billionaires, no children will ever die again.

19 The father of the CEO of Cerberus, that's selling off Freedom Group? Lives in Newtown.

All news is New England local news. Ninety minutes from New York City.

20 Negotiating with Obama must be like negotiating with Yassir Arafat, or like talking to a wall.

21 Obama: "Give me what I want, because dead children."

22 After mastering my complex game, Biden will easily solve the puzzle of mental illness.

23  @11

Would you let Biden get a word in? And TFG is asking for "real" reforms "now" including new restrictions on weapons and mental health care and then puts Biden in charge.

24

26 "Why negotiate with someone who is living in an alternate universe? Just pass Plan B and go home for the holidays."

Don't pass a damned thing. Nothing.

Every single GOP officeholder has to have their spiel down pat. Which will be:

"We are simply allowing President Obama's previous plan to take full effect. The tax increases and spending cutbacks which take effect in January were signed into law by President Obama. Again, the tax increases and spending cutbacks are ones which were signed into law by President Obama. If Americans are troubled by this, they should direct their complaints to President Obama, The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C., 20500."

27 >>>Plan B was Nancy P's plan, wasn't it? And really, there's no negotiating with this guy. Pass something, dare the Senate to vote it down, and go home.

Plan B has already been passed by the Senate. If the house passes it "as is" this session, it gets shoveled to the President for Veto or Signature. At this point though they would have to keep the house and senate in session for 10 days to avoid pocket veto.

28 Obama made several references to what the majority of Americans, and the majority of gun owners, want to see. He cannot back up those assertions with any poll, no matter how skewed. Now watch the media try.

29 I sometimes think I'm reading about a different country with some ass backwards leadership and I chuckle while thinking, "Man, they've got some trouble heading their way".

Then I remember it's the country in which I live that this clusterf*** is taking place and I stop chuckling and start chucking.

I can't believe TFG got re-elected.

30 Still in Bizarro world, I see. All Republicans have to do to achieve a trillion dollar spending cut is... nothing. Even the president's plan contains hundreds of billions in cuts. Meanwhile Tweedle dum and Tweedle dummer are trying to rally votes in both chambers to raise taxes without cutting spending. I'm beginning to think the sooner these knuckleheads head home for the holidays, the better.

31 TFG makes my job so damned easy...

32 the country deserves folks to be willing to compromise on behalf of the greater good and not tangle themselves up in a whole bunch of ideological positions that donÂ’t make much sense. Never thought I'd say this, President Douchetool, but I agree with you completely.

33 Just pass plan B, give Obama a one finger salute and go home.

34 Gee, I wonder if his bodyguards were armed?

35 Shameless POS the JEF is.  Fuck the MFM for giving him a pass on everything. Long four years is right. Let there be karma.

36 Can we just go back to the food pron thread? and maybe the NJ/NY Moron-Christmas-Meet-up should be a pot-luck? I'm just sayin'...

37 Matthew Shephard's death must not have been in vain.  Call your congressman and insist that taxes be raised on millionaires and billionaires today.

________________________

I was wondering about sort of the same thing. Suppose this massacre had happened in Iowa or in Idaho. The MFM would have covered it for a day or two. But would they still be talking about it 24/7. It's one thing to send a reporter to CT. But Idaho? In winter? Meh. And besides the dead kids were just future right wing Tea Party zealots anyway.

Look at weather events. A little rain falls within 50 miles of NYC or DC it's doomsday. 4 ft of snow fall in Colorado or Utah it barely makes it as a story on The Weather Channel.

39 >Obama made several references to what the majority of Americans, and the majority of gun owners, want to see.


So let it be written; so let it be done.

40

What that means is, an average of a $50,000 tax break for every millionaire out there. At the same time as weÂ’re not providing unemployment insurance for 2 million people who are still out there looking for work. It actually means a tax increase for millions of working families across the country, at the same time as folks like me would be getting a tax break.

 

Well Jiminy Christmas, Obammy-man!   If raising taxes on those who make more than $1 million would hike up taxes on working families, then what would taxing everyone who makes more than $250,000/year do to them!?!      Aren't you all for raising THEIR taxes because they should pay their fair share?  But if millionaires are PART of the "more than $250K/year" set, then how can taxing JUST them for more money be a BAD thing?  

 

The guy is retarded.       Functionally retarded.  

41 >Obama made several references to what the majority of Americans, and the majority of gun owners, want to see.

51 Couple of timely reminders, that I bring up now and again.

All NCAA national championship teams get invited to the White House.
When TFG was introduced to the all-woman TCU Rifle team, first he was unaware naturally that rifle was an NCAA sport (even though Punahou has a range), and then he told them that he practices regularly with a military rifle with the Secret Service at Quantico. He said that. To a smallbore team.

His "beneath the radar point man on gun policy" is Univ of Mich law professor Steven Croley, whose name vanished from, well, the radar, immediately after a positively drooling WaPo fanboi intro that mentioned the jut of his jaw, his sttely crewcut, and the color of his eyes. No one nears a word from him, or about him.  So, watch for his name. Sooner or later, we'll have to have a talk. 

52 LIV?

Liberals In Velvet?

53

What is worse, Axelrod sending out a message about the CT tragedy, the need for gun control and a link to donate to the Obama campaign.

Really?  Still collecting donations.  Beyond disgusting.

54 I hope the NRA's big press conference (today?) is to offer weapons training, nationwide, for the children.

55 21 Negotiating with Obama must be like negotiating with Yassir Arafat, or like talking to a wall. Or an empty chair.....

56 So we're back to playing the $250K a year = millionaire and billionaire game huh?

Why is it so hard for a Republican to go on TV on Meet the Press, CNN, whatever and say we are OK with raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires. But someone making $250K a year IS NOT A FUCKING MILLIONAIRE OR BILLIONAIRE. And then repeat this every day 10 times a day.

This is a slam dunk and even the most illiterate low info voter would understand and agree with. Republicans have learned nothing from the past 4 years. Obama gets his way because he frames debates in simple terms. Republicans lose debates because they get drawn into the weeds and most people glaze over the arguments. This is yet another example.

57 Why, it's almost like this SCOaMF is a budding tyrant.

58 I really hate TFG.

62 Or, if something MUST be passed, do this:

-- Hold a press conference on the sidewalk outside the White House

-- Say that the GOP is done with privately negotiating with the Democrats because the Democrats have proven themselves not to be trustworthy counterparties

-- Say that all further negotiations will take place in full daylight, in public, with maximum transparency

-- Begin negotiations by telling Obama/Reid/Pelosi to put on the table a hard dollar figure in how much additional tax they want from "millionaires"

-- Make it clear nothing will happen until this hard figure is provided in public

-- Once the figure is in hand, sit down and figure out a way to not only reach but exceed that figure

-- Skew the required taxation hugely towards screwing blue millionaires, via means such as repealing state income tax deductions and closing the tax loopholes used by the likes of Google

-- Tell the public, again in a public press conference, that "we asked the President for an acceptable number on taxes for the rich, and we not only gave him his number but we exceeded it, the ball is in his court now"

-- Dare him to sign the bill

This would make it awfully hard for the Dems to claim that the GOP are supposedly "protecting the 1%".

112 "Suppose this massacre had happened in Iowa or in Idaho. The MFM would have covered it for a day or two."

Yep. Lily-white high-income small towns in Connecticut are stuffed full of New York City media mavens (who may work amidst the city's "diversity" but seem to dislike living amidst it). They went completely off the rails on this because it's on their own home turf which they had thought to be safe.

There is ample previous precedent for this kind of skewed coverage.

When the USS _Cole_ was blown up by al-Quaeda, the media yawned.

Media talking heads referred to the ship as a "boat". They minimized the damage and the deaths. Because, after all, the sorts of people who join the Navy are illiterate gape-mouthed yokels from flyover country. If those people had been smart and could read and write, they would have moved to New York City to work in the media, because that's what the best people do. So some hillbillies in a boat went boom. No biggie.

Then a few months later when the same group of terrorists struck in New York City, the media said OMFG IT'S THE END OF THE FUCKING WORLD!!!1!!!11!!eleventy!

Because suddenly it was _their_ home turf that was under attack and people _they_ knew were getting killed, instead of distant simpletons in the services on a ship, or boat, or whatever.

So the President can give a press conference wherein he will lie, distort, dissemble and prevaricate, because he knows no one on our side will say boo.

Until we elect representatives that have sound conservative principles and a backbone we will NEVER advance our agenda.

But then again those who fit that criteria are too smart and capable to lower themselves to run for elected office and would never be supported by the squishes in the GOP.

Today, the appellate court reinstated those cases, and ordered the Obama Administration to report back every 60 days—starting in mid-February—until the Administration makes good on its promise to issue a new rule that protects the Colleges’ religious freedom. The new rule must be issued by March 31, 2013."

Ironies of ironies if Oblamocare is stopped by the courts.

Hey     Sanity.   Wake      up.   No matter what the 'pubbies do, they'll be blamed for the inevitable clusterfuck that results.    It DOESN'T MATTER.   It makes absolutely zero difference.      The     media will do what they always do and couch everything negative as the Republicans' fault, and everything positive as the divine    touch of their sainted Preezy.       This isn't rocket science.   We all know it already.   Why don't you?

Recover? Recover to do what?

136 You know those 20,000 Marines that are getting RIF'd?  School security.

137 125 Here's the thing. we bitch and piss and moan about the SCOAMF the Donks, progressives, but the sad fact is we have ZERO people on our side that are willing to take anyone on their side on over anything, period!

So the President can give a press conference wherein he will lie, distort, dissemble and prevaricate, because he knows no one on our side will say boo.

Until we elect representatives that have sound conservative principles and a backbone we will NEVER advance our agenda.

But then again those who fit that criteria are too smart and capable to lower themselves to run for elected office and would never be supported by the squishes in the GOP.

Waitaminute, you guys probably thought Romney was going to win, too

You probably thought there was another candidate that ran who could have won. In which case you have a serious case of misnomer so severe that it requires a doctor.

139 ", “Well, this would raise taxes only on folks making $1 million or more.”"



I'm going to guess that this group ($1 million+ income/year) would be the group that provides most of the taxes that the $250K+ income/year group would provide in total anyway.

What the insistence on the $250K threshold tells me is that Obama and the Dems are telling the lower income segment their SWPL blue city constituency to go pound sand and that he's going to take their money and redistribute it even if it lowers their living standards. I suppose since he'll never need their votes again, it makes sense to use their money to create more dependents. Useful idiots.

140 >>>I'm sensing a bit of a seachange.... albeit little bit. Dude, don't. That kind of hope is going to break your heart. The White Party will ALWAYS get blamed.

141 Let's see slow Joe go to a union hall, where he supposedly feels "home", and tell them he wants to take their guns.  Maybe they'll make a union exception, so they can defend themselves against the fictional union-busting thug wing of the tea party.

142 If I were the PR guy for the NRA, I would advise my client not to play along with the media's narrative. I would have them release a statement saying

>the Newtown shootings, while tragic, do not reflect in any way on the law-abiding members of this organization or its mission. The NRA stands ready and willing to discuss the ways in which we can reduce these types of crimes from happening in the future.

148 The GOP should just pass their own wish list and go home.  Frankly, I don't think this will matter much in 2 years.  That's an eternity in politics and I'm sure there will be some new thing blasted on the news by November 2014. 

149 The tax increases and spending cutbacks which take effect in January were signed into law by President Obama. Again, the tax increases and spending cutbacks are ones which were signed into law by President Obama. If Americans are troubled by this, they should direct their complaints to President Obama, The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C., 20500." This x a bazillion!

I liken our next course of action to what anyone should do when Pirates take their ship.  We need to burn it down to deprive them the use of it.  Economic warfare on the blue parts of the country.

154 So he says, “Well, this would raise taxes only on folks making $1 million or more.” What that means is, an average of a $50,000 tax break for every millionaire out there. At the same time as we’re not providing unemployment insurance for 2 million people who are still out there looking for work. It actually means a tax increase for millions of working families across the country, at the same time as folks like me would be getting a tax break. How is this supposed to make sense? Am I missing something? Unbeknownst to me, am I on some serious, mind-altering drugs?

155 I'm slowly coming around to the idea that we should just put a cop in every school all the time. Yes, but you're Jordan, so you haven't read or thought about the Israel article.

That is not true at all, GOP representatives get interviewed and get plenty of air time to put forth a Conservative agenda, they refuse to do it.

They get sucked into the narrative that the MSM/Donks put forth, they argue on their terms and on their battlefield.

They never challenge the premise of the argument, they never change the topic to grounds that are favorable to them. They never call out the lies of the President.

The only way to win is to fight, but we elect quislings like Boehner, McCain, Graham, etc.

We even elect really smart politicians like Ryan but he is not really a fighter.

Great ideas but no fight will get you nowhere

My devalued 2 centavos: don't. Just write a bland generic note next week.

You can't exclude the possibility that those you work with now may show up later as clients or suppliers, etc.

Don't burn bridges. Ever.

243 Oh, no...that's a sign of good luck!

lol!   Typical!

244 Once you say this, doesn't that mean that you should be willing to concede the cap argument rather than put the economy at risk? Posted by: Buzzsaw90 at December 19, 2012 02:08 PM (SO2Q He's a liar. Solves a lot of those pesky little conundrums about what he says.

#BlameRepublicansForEverything

 

Got a hangnail? That's the Republicans' fault.

 

 

246 I am about to head out to a Christmas get together at the house of one of my co-workers. If the convo turns to how awesome Obama is, I need a way to get out and fast, before I scream blue bloody murder. Is it uncouth to fake an anaphylactic reaction to cheese and crackers?

---

I wouldn't even go, but that's just me...and that's assuming the coworkers are Obots.  I refuse to suffer these kinds of fools in my social circle anymore.  You're either with my country or against it.  Anything Choom does is against.  Choom bots = against my country = I'm ejecting you from my life.

But again, that's just me.

247 Don't burn bridges. Ever.

It is an amazingly small world.  Especially in industry.

Magic 8-ball says...................."proceed with caution."

Federal employees are never sent to the glue factory, and Charlene Lamb will surface in another agency as Deputy Director of Planning and Relaxation. Or something.  Gub'mint is a strong proponent of recycling screw-ups because they "deserve another chance."

Just got back from the office Christmas luncheon. Had 2 1/2 glasses of champagne.

 

You mean, "was served 2 1/2 glasses of Dom Perignon 1953 in a Riedel crystal flute by a quivering underling trembling beneath My Imperial Gaze," do you not, Your Worship?

250 The pathetic little man the American people a bunch of clueless half wits, welfare crowd, union thugs, feminists and other assorted anti-American assholes have seen fit to elect President twice just wrapped up a press conference.




FIFY

251

___

he keeps getting re-elected from a purple district, he can't really afford to be a firebrand. The only GOP reps who can really speak out are from solid red districts. Like Senator DeMint,  wait...never mind.

You mean the Media referee lets them have an occasional few moments to say something, while the bulk of the American population is watching "Idol" or some such?


You aren't getting the scope of what is occurring.  For example, this ongoing and constant coverage of this Newtown Massacre demonstrates how the media can keep hammering away at something they regard as politically damaging to conservatives, and completely ignore all those people shot with fast and furious weapons.


Were WE in charge of the media, we could be doing a 24-7 onslaught about Fast and Furious, dead border agents, Dead Ambassadors, Gun running in Benghazi, abandonment of US Soldiers, incompetence, deceit,  Michelle's opulence, and so on.


The Media do as much damage to us by what they don't cover (Hello Bill Ayers, and Reverend Wright) as by what they do cover.   The Media people decide what the American people will talk about.  They also time these conversations for what they regard as opportunities to push a liberal New York/ Los Angeles dominated opinion.

I just want you all to know that I have occasionally enjoyed working with some none of you.

 

But that's just me.

255 I, too, have ejected all SCOAMTT supporters from my social circle. I have a little brother who is a dumocrap but he knows better than to open his mouth at any family gatherings. I did break down and send a couple Christmas cards though.

256 "Were WE in charge of the media, we could be doing a 24-7 onslaught about Fast and Furious, dead border agents, Dead Ambassadors, Gun running in Benghazi, abandonment of US Soldiers, incompetence, deceit, Michelle's opulence, and so on." Conservatives have some big dogs in the media market, including the nation's largest newspaper, the most-watched cable news channel and the most popular radio programs. They're certainly outnumbered but not outgunned. Those major outlets have covered the stories you mention.

257 @NolteNC Woah --> Boehner: "Obama can either sign Plan B or be responsible for the largest tax increase in history."

258 They don't have the popular culture, though, not even close. Your run-of-the-mill RV and movie sitcoms and dramas are overwhelmingly leftist. Low-information voters by inference do not follow news, but they probably watch Family Guy and think all Republicans are nazis.

"Coverage" does not mean "saturation."  Go outside and ask the first person who walks by what F&F is.  Or who Susan Rice is.  Or why the economy is going to the mattresses faster than Danny Bonaduce against Mike Tyson.  Then come back and talk about conservative 'big dogs.'

 

Idiot.

261 The Second Amendment is safe. Joe Biden couldn't find his asshole with a funnel.

262 Had a similar argument with a liberal on Twitter who asserted that "Banning high-capacity magazines is just common sense." I replied, "And when that fails to stop all violence everywhere, what will you ban next?" That is where the argument stopped.

Visitng my granddaughter's school has become an almost  weekly thing with all her extra-curricular things. She told me about "Officer Friendly" at the beginning of the school year. I figured "OF" was a touchy-feely elderly woman who was on her way out to pasture, waiting for retirement. I got to meet "her" the other day, prior to the Newtown tragedy.

 

"Officer Friendly" turned out to Sgt. Moses _____, 18 year vet of the force. 6'-6" x 240 lbs of ball-headed, cauliflowered-earred black middle linebacker. Some interesting scars on the scalp and tattos on his forearms. Scary looking dude. Of course, he had a voice like Barry White. We talked for 5 minutes and came away with a more secure feeling about the kid's safety. Felt good to see him walking the halls, surrounded by all the little kids. Standard practice to have a police liason these days.

264 @254

That's not good enough.

I expect my "Representatives" to argue from a place of principle just as I do.

Most of my friends and family are liberal I fight and argue with them all the time to the point of frustration and yelling.

I expect a GOP representative when confronted with the MSM/Donk narrative to not play ball.

When some idiot talking head says we should ban assault weapons, the first rejoinder should be what do you consider an assault weapon?

When some idiot says we should ban high capacity clips the rejoinder should be what number would you say is a high capacity clip? Is it 30 round, 20 rounds?

You tell the interviewer. "So you seem to be saying that there is a connection between the number of allowable rounds that someone can legally buy and homicidal murder, what would you say the maximum number of rounds a clip should have in order to prevent deranged people from committing massacres? Is it 15 rounds, 10 rounds, 5 rounds?

If the interviewer says "Well no one needs 30 round clips to go hunting or shooting!"

You tell them, "Well it's called the bill of rights and not the bill of needs and it's purpose was not to secure my right to hunt or target practice, it was to defend myself from harm and from a tyrannical  government bent of denying me my liberty!"

THIS IS REALLY FUCKING EASY GUYS!!!!

265 Jones in CO......NEVER burn bridges.

266 Obama is using propoganda technique "appeal to pity" We must do what he wants because of the natural and violent disasters.

267 Let. It. Burn
