Obama is the worst president in history and whatever they say is real and an issue! Republican run states are doing well while dem states are going bankrupt. Why would we want to go with the failed polices of socialism like Greece, Spain and the rest?

Agreed just another RW red herring. The right will debate anything but the economy.
God forbid they would do anything to help America, instead of destroying the middle class for political advantage.
Time we through these un-American RW obstructionist traitors out on their asses.

Michelle Buchmann is a disgrace! She should be censored and her constituents should be embarrassed. John Sununu was born in Cuba so he knows better. He was saying those things for political reasons which is why he tried to back pedal. Crazy Buchmann really believes that BS because she listens to Crazy Glen Beck and doesn't no better. She needs to take care of her home and let her husband come out and be himself and stop coming up with these crazy theories.

Did you ever hear of the First Amendment to the Constitution?

reply
Paige to Jim 2012/07/25 02:05:43

Yes I have heard of the First Admendment but what they are doing is trying to destroy someone that they have no idea what the hell they are talking about. Buchmann, Beck should not be allowed to open their mouths because every time they do they show their bigotry and ignorance. Huma is married to a Jewish man. All their conspiracy theories are just that crazy unsubtantiated theories. THis is just like calling fire in a theater, lying about someone and destroying their reputation is called Libel.

WP a left-wing rag of a paper.............no question that the Muslim Brotherhood is the Father / Mother of the Islamist radical groups in the Middle East. As in all Islamist groups the principle drive to to push the Muslim cult throughout the World by any means necessary..the Left-wingers may take a note from history to remember that some recent documents released after the fall of the USSR from the KGB archives show that McCarthy may have been right!

Bachmann, yes. Sununu, naw. Michelle Bachmann is, quite frankly, a ding-a-ling conspiracy theorist. John Sununu made a public slip of the tongue. He said what a lots of American's believe - Barack Obama is not of this country. After all, some folks of Sununu's generation still don't think of Hawaii as part of these United States. Couple that with Obama's Indonesian connections and the ignorance flows like lava.

Naw, she's just a presidential candidate with DUAL CITIZENSHIP. What's that all about? She's loony. And Sununu isn't all together either. What was he talking about? Be more American? What's more American than someone always trying to circumvent the system with anything they can find? That's a yank. No real integrity to honesty or principal. If you ain't cheatin' you ain't trying. Fixing elections. Fixing Boxing matches. Fixing baseball games. Everything is up to the descretion of how you're going to rig-it. Have you seen "Get the Gringo"? The Mexican cop told the Yankee cop that both are corrupt. Only the Mexican had the integrity to admit it. Yanks, are always in denial.

Bachmann, West and the Republican Party in General it appears to me that they are trying to Turn the American People AGAINST their Own Government and they are PART OF THE GOVERNMENT!

Would they be included in all of these Conspiracy Theories? They are the Government.

This question is for those of you who VOTE Republicans and are in the same Boat as the Majority of Ordinary Americans who the Republicans USE TO KEEP you INFIGHTING among your fellow citizens, with the Republican DIVIDE and CONQUER Strategy as they STEAL everything and provide the Rich with all of their needs while yours suffer. They have come up with FANCY WORDS to Trigger this rage FREEBIES AND ENTITLEMENTS.

Freebies - If you are out of work and need your own paid into Unemployment insurance.

Entitlements - Read that as your asking for Government Handouts, Nothing to do with your own Money, while you were working, paid into Social Security and Medicare.

Government Controlled Health Care - What the HELL is the Republican Members Congress's Cadillac Health Care that they want to DENY the Average American paid for by Tax Payers.

Republicans have young people thinking they will never ever get sick. I ask you with today's Parents' Medicine Cabinets and Drugs flowing into this Country, I want to see that happen ...

Ask anyone in a Fraternity how many Kegs of Beer do they have to drink to show that they are Down! before their Hearts Stop?

Those 2 Words are used by the Republican Party as a SLEDGE HAMMER to keep the Voters DIVIDED so Republicans can RUN AWAY WITH THE STORE.

All the President is asking for is BALANCE in the system. No one Hates Rich People. Hooray for them if they have come up with a way to be Rich. Just stop being sooo damn GREEDY and why all of the Off Shoring from the Country that GAVE you THOSE Millions and Billions - Mitt.
