You wage the wars that have the greatest chance of success.
Going up against the corporations that own us, or the war machine that protects us, or the banks that pay us is a fools errand.
Total cop out. And war profiteering actually endangers us. The more profit there is in war, the more war profiteers will cause cause and terrorism. This is obvious.
Thus proving that the right actually gets ideas of substance passed that provides compassionate care to everyone.
HaHaHaHaHaHaHa you're such a fucking idiot.
You give softshell far too much credit.
the only idiot i've ever fucked is your mother.

I know...It's bitter, especially around here, to have to admit that EMTALA occurred under Reagan, the Republican's watch.
* requires hospitals to provide emergency health care treatment to all regardless of citizenship, legal status, or ability to pay.
* no reimbursement provisions, the ill person is provided totally free service.
Kinda blows a cannonhole in the standard liberal shtick painting the Right as uncaring to those in need.

When the US has reached mexican levels of corruption, crime, and violence that is the standard for mexican politics I would be all in favor of such a card.
Why is it no can find all this voter fraud the voter ID is supposed to prevent? If you repeat a lie often enough some people believe it. Works for fox news.

OTOH ACORN doesn't exude integrity, would O have won with out them???

Kind of blows not to know what you are talking about. EMTALA was 4 pages in the 600+ page COBRA bill. Someone in the democratic controlled house slipped it into COBRA probably because they wanted the corporate hospitals to stop dumping unprofitable medicare medicaid ER patients, while accepting them as regular admissions for more profitable procedures.
There isn't a record of who authored EMTALA, but I would be willing to bet it wasn't a repubilican.. It's not like the republican party went out and championed EMTALA, they didn't read the bill (Reagan certainly didn't read it) and didn't catch it is all.
On further review, I agree with you on this.
That was not what I was trying to say, but I shit it out, so I retract it, and replace it with this:
All the wars that need to be waged should be waged, both long term and short term. Some people prefer to prosecute the long term problems. I prefer to engage the situations that can be resolved in the near term as I am results oriented.
Feel free to rip my new position to shreds....

I agree...so why are you commenting on it?

After tons of investigations no one found anything other than some fraudulent registrations from workers too lazy to actually go out and get real ones. Which doesn't matter since they would be rejected at the elections board anyway.
You do know the registrations get checked for validity by the election board don't you? You know that groups (like acorn) that collect registrations are required by law to turn them into the elections board even if they say mickey mouse and donald duck. Apparently soft shell doesn't.
I volunteered at the local elections board years ago for several elections. Maybe you should try it so you can see what nonsense all this election fraud bullshit is. Other than some local yokel podunk 200 vote elections all the election fraud today is done at the statehouse level by your elected officials. Things like redistricting, dumping voter records, putting 1 hard to get to election station in a poor area with thousands of voters, creative "problems" with the electronic voting machines (why would legislators specifically refuse to allow a duplicate paper copy of the votes as a backup I wonder), and yes voter id requirements.
Jesus Christ! Project much??
the only idiot i've ever fucked is your mother.
No one asked for your life story, and besides, witnesses testified you were soft the whole time, so she flipped you over and fisted you for 45 minutes.
Things like redistricting
It is heartening to see Maxine Waters cry foul when she has been using gerrymandering to her benefit for years.
dumping voter records
Do tell?
putting 1 hard to get to election station in a poor area with thousands of voters
Please tell me more about that?

Willfull ignorance isn't for me to correct. BTW I never said either party was more or less guilty. It must be so much easier to just regurgitate whatever gets poured into your brain rather than thinking for yourself. Maybe I'll have to try the FOX/AM dial or the flip side MSNBC/CNN one day to see.

Bullshit, I rarely lose a debate to you. You made the assertion so back it up otherwise I will ignore it.
Illegal immigrants have everything to gain by making sure the party that favors their presence and will offer them a 'no strings attached' chance at citizenship, democrats, are in power.
That's absolute nonsense. Once again, no proof this is happening in any appreciable number, and you still don't understand the lack of incentive here.
Very little point discussing this with someone so willfully ignorant and who seems unable to think critically.
Agreed.
Let me know when you wise up.

This is what Indigence does

When reducing one's expenses to fit a budget, the biggest wasteful spending must be addressed first. That's not a political position; it's fiscal common sense. You have to stop the hemorrhaging of money before you tend to minor scrapes.
When reducing one's expenses to fit a budget, the biggest wasteful spending must be addressed first.
That would be the entitlements.

That becomes a judgment on whether the military and current wars are more or less wasteful than the social programs we have. If no one talks specifics, this is just going to be abstract idealogical Dem vs Repub talking points BS.
That would be the entitlements.
That would be the family international vacations to participate in Paintgun wars, plus all the expensive paint gun armor, paint gun drones, etc.
You cut discretionary spending first in a household, not the food, health, and retirement.
We need a few dozen SSBNs, a handful of destroyers and maritime patrol craft for pirates, and the widespread ownership of firearms does the rest. Ain't no one gonna mess with us.

Wars would be easier to end if we can get enough to smell the coffee.

You forgot about the $300 lunches for Michelle.

If you don't know the definition of lose then it doesn't happen.

So that is your answer a spelling error. Bullshit...
Oh my bad you were not referring to the spelling which is correct but to your self complacent idea that you have won these debates. Typically you just fade away and quit answering. This is not winning it is you running out of arguments.
I listen to both sides as in this case when controlio indicated that the voter fraud was really just a myth. I'm not convinced though about ACORN or illegals as my understanding is that 1/3 of welfare in the whole country does go to Calif with 12% of the population there has to be some very generous welfare.

673 for defense plus State, Intelligence, Homeland Security, and Veteran's Affairs. That adds up to 980. All except about 80 is discretionary.
$900B of the $1.26T of the discretionary budget is related to warring and defense.

Cept 670B was spent. The fact that so much was discretionary would imply that it would be easier to cut the defense budget.
Cept 670B was spent.
What?

Would be easier. Just have to get some politicians willing to cut something on that side of the house..

If we could swing more to Libertarian thinking it is possible. We need the equivalent of a modern day Thomas Payne to affect this. People need to realize that defense spending is crony capitalism and wars are provoked in order to justify the expense.
Cept 670B was spent.
What?
This was the actual number spent no conjecture about it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That's what you said when my 85 year old mother took your balls home in her purse.
WTF damn you would have to come up a couple of notches to be sophomoric...
I guess you missed the part where he was bragging about fucking my mother.
Oh ok...
This where people come to figure out the future, and you two are going on about each other's mother, you have to admit that is LOL funny?
Get the story straight.
Your mother was fucking me.

I know it looks bad, but I'm in the process of rehabilitating SBH...so there are some awkward moments...

Is there a point here? I missed the part where you agreed about voter fraud being a myth. So far you haven't presented any evidence at all that illegals are voting or even why they would expose themselves to scrutiny by registering to vote or how the elections boards would approve them to vote. Much less how it is being done in numbers large enough to affect the outcome of elections in a state as large as California. Your only point of fact is that California, which is the largest state, has the most welfare spending (surprise surprise) and many illegals. So in your mind that means illegals must be voting in people who vote for more welfare for illegals. That is certainly logic on the level with Socrates and Plato. (Your understanding is wrong, it's not 33% of the welfare going to California it's 25 billion out of 167 billion or 15%, this is not hard to look up).
If this represents winning the discussion then I agree, you have certainly have won.
the 1/3 and 12% is hard not to find
http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/Jul/28/welfare-capital-of-the-us/
Agreed.
But your sentence is irrelevant to my post.

Bragging is almost always lying,

Yeah, this thread has become littered with people making irrelevant arguments as they get called out on their bullshit regarding the actual topic of the thread, voter ID. Starting to think that a lot of those dumbest Americans the OP refers to are participating in this thread.
Again, none of these folks have presented proof that any of this alleged voter fraud is happening in appreciable numbers, certainly absolutely none that it's being done by undocumented immigrants (which is still a ridiculous argument, given the disincentives).
The reality is that voter ID laws are purely political and aren't actually meant to address voter fraud because there is so little voter fraud. Several people who support voter ID laws have admitted this and have cited it as a reason that their favored candidate would win a particular jurisdiction -- it's pretty transparent.
If you can't refute the premise that voter fraud is almost non-existent, you don't have winning argument.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/monkey-cage/wp/2014/04/07/the-less-americans-know-about-ukraines-location-the-more-they-want-u-s-to-intervene/
I'm guessing that the further away their guesses were from Ukraine's actual location, the more likely they were to
- be religious
- oppose marriage equality
- reject evolution
- support voter ID laws designed to keep minorities from voting
- want to cut "entitlements" but not the military
Can we just admit that one third of Americans are just plain stupid and should not be allowed to vote or reproduce?
When you place the Ukraine inside the borders of the continental United States, you shouldn't have a voice when it comes to important decisions.
