I never called anyone a dumbass.

Not to re-ignite this whole thing, but to clarify, I know you didn't call anyone a dumbass. The response you quoted from me was to Miller101.

And I don't think the "poopy head" one was your most controversial post, making lewd suggestions involving the Bible trumped that one.

Water under the bridge though, no worries.

When backed into a corner, I go for the most zinging thing I can. Not one of my finest moments. I got nuttin' but love for you, Slingin'. Politics is a testy business and usually one that leads to flare ups.

Geez, my post my have had something to do with the firestorm too. Dang you Republicans sure are touchy!

Just one thing to clarify. I didn't say all Republicans are dumbasses. I just said that Obama and his administration screwed up BY NOT USING LITTLE WORDS TO GET THEIR POINT ACROSS. Obama shouldn't have used the big words of "Public Option". He should have used something alot smaller and alot more simpler. Something Like "Medicare for all" or "GrandMa's Plan" or "Unemployed Care". Just anything but "Public Option". Then Republicans would have understood it and liked it! And it would have passed a while ago!

I say that, because the only things Republicans hate about the bill are things that aren't even in the bill. "Death Panels", "Abortions", and "Illegal Immigrant Care". They scream those things out at these town halls everyday. And now Republicans are all stuck on this and they won't drop it. Even when there told time and time again that its not in the bill. They just won't drop it. And I put that on Obama. I don't blame Republicans. I understand they're people too. And they just need a guy that went to Harvard Law School to better understand them and Keep It Simple. Thats all I was trying to say. I wasn't exactly calling Republicans dumbasses. I probably shouldn't have used that word and I am sorry for the problems that it caused here.

So your sure abortion won't be covered by Obama:
Abortion: Which Side Is Fabricating? | FactCheck.org

I guess we can all keep our current insurance also:
Keep Your Insurance? Not Everyone. | FactCheck.org

Obama also said his plan will be paid for but we all know thats not true he also just missed his 10 estimate of the deffect by over two trillion dollars. I'll say that again HE MISSED THE PROJECTED DEFECET BY 2,000,000,000,000 but we are suppose to believe he has this all under controll and it will run cheap and smooth for years to come just like the cash for clunkers. Ops, that has been a mess also and that only dealing with junk cars but I should allow him to take over my health care with no worries. What a dumb rep. that I would even worry about that.

Maybe its the blind sheep on the other side that cannot see all the programs that the goverment has screwed up time after time but you smart people think they can get this right. Hmmm, if you allow someone to screw up thing after thing costing you money its smart to give them more money to screw up something else. OK, if that sounds smart I'm glade I'm dumb.

Can't wait for some football! Politics is my idle folly.

You didn't vote for Obama and your candidate didn't win. Now I understand the frustration when your agenda is in the process of being erased at break neck speed but please stop crying about teh deficit. After the imigration bill the hispanic majority population will be the ones who pay off the National Debt. Go play golf and pretend like you are actually doing something positive for America.

I guess you said the same thing for 8 years to all the people who bitched and protested Bush even before he took office. Funny thing was Bush always said those people had the right to protest and Obama and the left now say the right should just shut up. Last time I looked I have the right to say as I feel and thats my freedom which seems now like the left would like to take that away now that they are in office. I'll be glade to shut up when the policies pushed by Obama do not affect my life and my income. By the way last time I check the hispanic comunity coming here has no money so how will they pay the 9 trillion of dept. With our money that we have run out of?

[dmek25]

so first, i guess you were against the patriot act? since you are worried about your freedoms? i get the feeling you might be one of those not in my back yard types

Which immigrant group that ever came to America had money when they got here. Most immigrant groups excluding Anglos and the descendants of African slaves got here after the country had already been built into an shining sucess. So any immigrant after the industrial revolution is spending our money (those of us who are descendants of the Americans who built this country).

footnote:
Most of these zenophobic types haven't been here a hundred years yet. A Russian immigrant who can barely speak English is the leader of the birthers. How ironic.

ps. My grandfather fought in WW2. I am authentic Amercian as you can get.

Exactly my point firstdown!!!!! EXACTLY! Remember back when Obama did his budget, the Republicans said 'no'. Obama said what do you mean 'no', no what? Republicans said 'no'. Obama, a little bit frustrated, said.......okay do you have any ideas?. Republicans, 'NO'. Obama then says, "just shut up". You see, thats my whole point. Obama is trying to communicate with them, but is using words that are just a little bit to big. He needs to simplify it. "Shut up" is a simple word. Thats what Republicans get and thats what they remember. Obama needs to find those little words and use them! Then he has bipartisanship. Thats going to be a challenge. I don't know if he can do it myself, but we'll see.
