What is it with conservatives and false equivalencies? Why can't you play on a level and honest playing field. How many hollywood actors and actresses have screwed over the middle class to get where they are? Most of them started off as starving actors/actresses and worked their way up through the ranks. They didn't pull Enron type tactics on people's retirements. They didn't tear down a company to satisfy a few shareholders. They worked hard and earned their money.
And what's with the animosity? I thought you conservatives liked people who worked their way up from the bottom up. It's "The American Dream." Success stories. I guess you only like them when their politics match yours.

arrestpaul,
It seems to me that you are really against the Occupy Wallstreet movement. Just curious, how is it hurting you? Why so much animosity toward people who are trying to make your life better?
You should watch the movie Madagascar. There's a very good line in it. "You don't bite the hand."

Of course they have been attacking the movement. It's a movement of average Americans and republicans hate average Americans. They only thing your average republican politician thinks your average American is good for is catching a bullet in Iraq or Afghanistan. And after you catch that bullet, screw you.
The republican party has becomeo pretty unamerican. There are still a few good ones like Huntsman and Snowe but for the most part, it's corrupt through and through.
But make no doubt about it, the republican party does not stand with the 99%.

I agree. I think he's the only sane person running on the republican ticket. I would actually consider voting for him, if he were to win the nomination.

arrestpaul,
Well...you found one. Good for you. Of course, it doesn't actually create any jobs, it just opens up an area previously closed for exploration due to environmental concerns.
So good for you. You found a few jobs....at the expense of the environment. I take my hat off to you. And what a good bill it is.
You guys just can't win for losing, can you?

arrestpaul,
It's got to be a republican bill. Having Democratic co-sponsors or sponsors would make them bi-partisan in my opinion.
The president has put forth a plan. eric cantor put out a coloring book. I'm asking you if the republicans have a plan. McCain is sponsoring another round of tax breaks for the rich too, so I wouldn't count that one as a jobs plan (even though it has jobs in the title).
I would just like to see a republican try to make a job opening other than that of President of the United States. We understand that's a job they want to fill, regardless that it's already filled.
I want to see them put an unemployed person to work. I don't get my way very often,

arrestpaul,
As long as you can prove that it's a republican bill and it's in place to create jobs, I'm good. It need not have "jobs" in the title.
BUT...it has to really create jobs too. Not create favorable circumstances for "job creators." We tried that. They created wealth for themselves and no jobs for Americans. No, it has to actually create jobs.
I'll be waiting.

arrestpaul,
Perhaps you could show me a bill, ONE SINGLE BILL, sitting there on Capital Hill... from the republicans that will create jobs.
I say there isn't one. You're going to have to prove me wrong. If I am, I'll admit it. I wear big boy pants. I can admit when I'm wrong.
But...just so you know, lowering taxes for the rich doesn't create jobs. That didn't work. SO....yeah, your quest is going to be PRETTY hard there camper.
Good luck and happy hunting. I'll be waiting.

And really, in regards to President Obama, hasn't he passed the most important test of all?
Hasn't he kept us safe from terrorists?
For years, I heard that was the most important function of the president was to protect us from terrorists.
Under President Obama, there have been no major terror attacks on America.
There was a time when one was considered a success.
Funny how the criteria for success changes.

Well the republicans have finally come out with a plan for jobs for Americans! I'm so proud of them. Little eric cantor did it all by himself. "The House Republican Plan for American Job Creators." That's it world, the republicans have come to save the day with a jobs plan that is 7 pages long...WITH PICTURES!
In their defiense, it doesn't take a lot of space to type, " Step 1: Tax cuts for the rich. Step 2: Deregulation of industry.
That's their plan. The same plan that george bush tried and got himself declared worst president ever with, the republicans are going to double-down on.
This would be funny if I were from another country. These clowns have no concern for the American people. None at all. That they still have sheep following them is beyond me.

The president is showing political savvy by bashing the republicans on this. It's a popular bill with the people. Make them slit their own throats politically by opposing it. People want jobs and the republicans are going to have to explain to the people why they said no to a jobs bill when they have nothing to offer.
Their lack of concern for the American people is becoming ever more apparent with every bill they block. The people are fed up, their taking to the streets and their are going to let the republicans have it in 2012.

All you people keep saying "well what about ____________(fill in the blank) country? Why doesn't Amnesty International whine whine whine etc.?
Did it ever occur to you people that maybe they have asked for foreign countries to look into human rights abuses in China and into Putin.
They did that AND they had time to ask Canada to bring bush to justice.
WOW. It's like some of you have never had an original thought of your own.

I just got an email from a friend of mine in Afghanistan. He's a Major in the Army. He told me there are 5 or 6 Colonels jockeying around trying to do the job of 1 enlisted person where he's at.
He seems to think that a lot of senior officers are doing tours in Afghanistan just to bank the combat pay.
I have another friend who is a Lt. Cdr. in the Navy. He told me his tour in Iraq was one long exercise in keeping himself and his unit out of graft schemes that were all around him.
Thinning the heard up top in those places is a good place to start with military spending. That's not E-4s and E-5s doing these things. It's Colonels and Generals.

The president is going to keep pushing and that's what the American people want. Support for this bill is growing.
That's a pretty big swing. More than it was. Keep pushing Mr. President. You can sign it now, or you can sign it in 2013, but you will get to sign it.
