Especially any of his political rivals.

And I will provide you with something Obama or his merry band of Crooks in the Senate hasn't already done since him entering in office.

Care to take the challenge?

How about stem cell research?

2   Tenpoundbass   2014 Apr 16, 2:59am  

What about it?

3   bob2356   2014 Apr 16, 3:02am  

You finally figured out that Repugs and Dems are equally scumbags or is this just some kind of pissing contest to try to make the home team look better than the shitburger that they really are?

4   Tenpoundbass   2014 Apr 16, 3:10am  

You hate that people debated if fetuses should have a name?

I bet you are just disgusted by people who pick out a name the day they find they are pregnant?

But lets just stick with what the current Republican talking points are shall we? That stuff was all fun back in Bush's term. Which abortions are still legal in this country, so why are you guys still but hurt about it?

I wasn't aware the captain was offering tutoring in writing to patnet members. A clear success here.

Tell me the last time the republicans risked taking on a huge issue like health care in the way the democrats have?

Specifically I'm asking this:

When was the last time the republicans took the kind of risk the democrats have taken with the ACA? That is, the risk that it would be unpopular in the short run, possibly hurting themself politically in the short or medium term, but based on the belief it was for the longer term good of the country?

(prediction: you will use this question to rant about Obamacare or to suggest that democrats only motivation was to help the insurance companies. You know that's a lie).

MY perception is that the degree to which republicans are all about gaining power by obstructing the other side, gerrymandering districts, making it harder for certain groups to vote, is beyond anything we've seen in the past.

Both sides are guilty for making our politics more polarized than ever, but republicans are now so far to the right, that they literally in crazy town. It's truly laughable how far to the right the entire spectrum is. Even you (CaptainSU) constantly remind us that Obama and the democrats are wholly owned by the banks and corporations just as much as the republicans.

IT seems that even you can't deny that the democrats are right wing, and the republicans are FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR right wing. And yet you defend the republicans, evidently because you enjoy the emotion that the Fox news lies stimulate.

The Iraq war. Republicans failed to protect national security, with tragic consequences on 9/11, then exploited that tragedy to invade a country that had nothing to do with it, to make $$$ for their buddies at Halliburton and Chevron etc. That risk, or from America's POV that blunder, cost thousands of American lives and trillions of Dollars, plus untold harm to Iraqis. Amazingly, marcus the pretend math teacher attempted to defend Democrats by calling attention to their own biggest blunder, where they exploited a disaster partly of their own making in ways that will cost even more American lives and treasure for the further enrichment of their longtime buddies at AHA and their new buddies at AMA and PhRMA. With friends like marcus, the Democrats don't need enemies.

I didn't think so. The biggest political risk republicans want to take is the risk of lowering taxes. That's bound to get them unelected. But hey, sometimes you just have to do the right thing.

They're the "borrow and spend Republicans."

If W Bush hadn't spent so much time being fucked in the ass by Victor Ashe and shouting MOMMEEEEEEE! he could have done something about the 13th and 19th Amendments. He was simply distracted from being the greatest president in history by an overzealous paramour.

I think the damage to the fourth amendment more than makes up for his failure to trash any other amendments.

13   Tenpoundbass   2014 Apr 16, 3:50am  

sbh I don't need Google, I could debate you with just one sheet of paper. An insurance monthly statement, is all it's going to take to bring this little Pissy party to a kaput.

Obamacare is so fucked up, many poor and elderly aren't even biting for the Freebie subsidized care. Because in this economy, it is possible to be poor, and still own something. Obamacare says, "here let me stitch that up for you, but then all of your shit is MINE."

The Liberals really are going to have to depend on the hopelessly Liberal no matter what, and the piss-poor who are oblivious to why or how they got there, and all ways will be.

14   dublin hillz   2014 Apr 16, 3:50am  

The fact that a woman can "decide" what to do with her fetus and treat it like a part of her body with no independent autonomy is a conspiracy forced upon our nation by orthodox jews who believe that a child is automatically a jew if born to a jewish mother. This was done as an affront to the good ol' patriarchy when in the times of the Romans the male elder could sentence anyone "alive" in the family to death for disobedience. Couldn't the orthodoxes get over the diaspora by now and move on?

15   Tenpoundbass   2014 Apr 16, 3:55am  

But women can decide what to do with her fetus and treat it like a part of her body, as long as it's done in early development.

But OK let's do this Ya'll, since all you guys can drag up is this Champion wound scab that is the poor hapless pregnant women in this country.

Have the Republicans successfully blocked any Women issues that have come up in Washington in the last 5 years? If so what issues, and what was the outcome?
Have the Liberals lost ground on Women's issues in this administration, or gained ground?

Let's hear it.

16   zzyzzx   2014 Apr 16, 4:02am  

The thing I hate about Republicans the most is that when in power, they never seem to try to remove or rollback stupid stuff done by Democrats. Having said that, Democrats are no different. I don't see Obama getting rid of No Child Left behind.

17   marcus   2014 Apr 16, 4:06am  

Nothing has changed with women's issues. With the exception of debates about health care covering birth control.

And if you're thinking that democrats play political games with women's issues, to try to get more of the female vote, guess what ? It's true. They do.

Because the republicans can be counted on to say really stupid stuff about women and women's issues.

You can't blame democrats for exploiting this. That's playing politics fair and square. Unlike what republicans are willing to do to win elections.

18   Tenpoundbass   2014 Apr 16, 4:25am  

NO that's not where I was going at all.

Here's what the facts are and not the sound bytes, sit down Jr.

You see things have changed in Women issues, and Gay issues, the Governments injection of the Churches view against women's and gay issues, they have made great strides. Now lets give them a big round of applause everybody!!!!

BUT!

Here's the thing, while the Liberals have been running around the country creating the worst pieces of Legislation in History which has sailed right through and passed. They never seem to run out of reasons to blame Republicans for., when the Liberal legislation failures are exposed.

Obama has proven he can make anything at all happen.

Even the mythical beast that "obamacare" is supposed to be, someday, one day. Which here's another fucked up thing.
By every Liberal account, Obamacare from the get go, was some lose improvisationaly implemented bill, constructed adhoc and obfuscated with boons to the Insurance, big pharma, and the private Medical industry complex.
From the get go, after every Liberals argument was lost, the final retort was "Well it's meant to be fixed."

You guys do know some fixes are very simple?

Patient:"MY arm hurts when do this"

Doctor: "Well don't do that!"

19   Homeboy   2014 Apr 16, 4:39am  

If the democrats weren't ruining the earth, what is the fantastic ALTERNATIVE healthcare plan that the republicans would have enacted? It's a simple question, but one which you have never seemed able to answer. Let's say we repeal Obamacare. Then what?

Feel free to post twice if all the details of the fabulous republican healthcare plan takes you over the word count for a single post.

20   lostand confused   2014 Apr 16, 4:40am  

I can't stand repubs for not being an effective opposition. For not giving me a choice. I am so disgusted with both parties and yearn for someone to vote. I think I will sit out the next one-unless Hillary runs-then will vote against.

Homeboy says

The Republican alternative to Obamneycare (which was already the Republican alternative to ClintonCare) was also worse than nothing. Neither major party proposes anything that would actually help people, because both major parties represent the "stakeholders," i.e. the largest revenue recipients represented by lobbyists and offering both campaign finance and revolving door patronage opportunities. From their POV, the question how to reform healthcare translates to, "How can we extract even more revenue and power while talking about healthcare?" Some individual Republicans did propose sensible measures, e.g. requiring hospitals to accept the same amount as "full payment" from any payer instead of overcharging the uninsured, but those individual Republicans' ideas didn't get incorporated into the party's official proposal.

So far just the constant attempts to sell social security off to wall street, or add some sort of "means testing"... which to me is another way of saying "you ain't getting it if you make over minimum wage".

You can't! You're not allowed to. I bet you're registered like most sane people in this country as NPA. We're not allowed to be heard in the Primaries, so the biggest dumbest Idiot line carry for both parties are the ones who make it past the first Asshole contest. That is a production brought to us by one Party with two marketing departments. Each put on a pageant with the deep pocket media sponsors. You and I, and the 1/3 of the country JUST LIKE US, do not get to participate while the Idiot left the retarded right suck each other off and boast about democracy. If any of the other 2/6th that's 1/3 republican or Democrat prospectively and the 1/3 that are no party affiliated. Unilaterally make the decision for us, the person that will become the President by just a cunt hair over 50%, and they'll then fawn all over them selves about what a major Victory it was, and how this pol and that pol got it right or wrong.

It's enough to make you want to sit out the next election for sure.
I would love to see a race where the disgusted people and those who have no emotional attachment to either candidate other than their reprogrammed hate and force fed sound bytes they have on the other candidate, Just sit out the election.

The turn out would be interesting, and I bet the loser no matter which party it was, would bitch about how they lost all of those Votes that they never fucking had in the first place.

NPA should occupy the next two elections polling stations, it's time we abolish the closed primaries, it is the biggest and greatest tool they have for fixing the election and setting the tone to Super Tuesday. After that it's just a slick skid mark all the way to the oval office. Whoooooooooooshhhhhhhhhhh

If the primaries weren't closed, then the Republican backers that the collective Patnet hates, and the agitating Liberal super pacs, would have to buy and pay off a lot more people. Buying and rigging elections aren't cheap.
And that's just the cost, for a two horse election.

Imagine if popular vote actually did chose our candidates for the presidential election. The electoral college would not be for sale, and votes would not be easily rigged or discarded. If the candidates were actual candidates that got there because the voters gave a fuck enough to chose him. Rather than they voted for him, and signed up for a Citi bonus reward card, for jumping in a van and voting for Candidate(x).

I think I will sit out the next one-unless Hillary runs-then will vote against.

Helmethair Clinton didn't even make a suitable Stormtrooper you want her to run a country?

Only interested in out-fanaticizing each other.

Do exactly what they recommend, and they say you didn't do it conservatively and constitutionally enough. If you happen to not be Republican, you're also just a Marxist, anyway.

If this is what happens when you adopt their prescriptions, imagine the impossibility of compromise.

37   marcus   2014 Apr 17, 3:02am  

No, that's not what I meant. I meant pretty much what I said.

If Hillary gets elected President, it won't be because she's a woman.

Because close to as many will vote against her for that reason as will vote for her.

If by chance I'm wrong and there are more voting for her because she's a woman, that won't be about feminism per se.

38   indigenous   2014 Apr 17, 3:48am  

There is a fine line bet peonage and slavery, the point of Patricks book is to avoid the prior.

True representative government is mathematically impossible. How is one congressman supposed to know what 690,000 people want? or a Senator 1/100(supposed to be 1/2 of a state)?

It really is a matrix with the people brainwashed into focusing their attention on what ever the matrix wants their attention focused on.

Not really. I don't see the left going out of its way to alienate large voting blocks of the population.

There are many people in this country who identify with the ideas of fiscal conservatism, but aren't especially religious and don't feel the need to legislate people's faith or sex lives -- who even prize personal choice! Rather than embrace these people, the republican party (as it stands now) shows little tolerance outside of it's narrow world view.

The republican party's voice has been hijacked by a very vocal minority. As long as they allow the Tea Party view to monopolize their platforms, they will continue to be limited to their voting base. And their voting base of the Christian right isn't enough.

Add to that the fact that they aren't even fiscally conservative! So now we have the worst of both worlds, with respect to appealing to larger voting blocks. Over the last 15 years, Republicans are proving to be fiscal liberals and social conservatives. It's like a bad joke.

Interesting... There are plenty of pro-choice Republicans and plenty of pro-gay marriage Republicans (and even more who are fine with full equal rights under the law with the exception of having the government actually get involved by defining the term "marriage" since the Fed government does not define "marriage" now). They may not be the majority of Republicans, but a Republican politician can be pro-choice and pro-gay marriage.

Now... What would happen to a Democrat today who ran for office but was openly pro-life and anti-gay marriage?

Answer that question honestly and you'll see which side is sliding more to the extreme than the other. It might not be what you thought it was.
