(A SHORT SUMMARY OF THE BEST POINTS OF 3HRS. OF SUNDAY MORNING POLITICAL SHOWS)
This reminds me of the tire gauge that someone threw out on the path that I walk on every day for exercise over the "inflate your tires" Obama strategy to save on gas when it was up to $5 per gallon!! I don't know about y'all, but a year or so later, and I'm just not feeling it! Chris Matthews sure was wrong about Obama too, with that tingling feeling in his leg that he thought was the Presence, in that the tingling is really nerve damage from sitting on your duff producing dead @ss journalism!
and how her family shunned Levi Johnston's family to the point that he and his Mom and sister all went on "Tyra" to hang out their dirty laundry, where Levi showed off his tattoo to the world in spite of the difficulties young lovers face as Levi and Bristol.
Levi is giving you the best reason to never get your baby's Momma's name tattooed anywhere on your body/as a tattoo tracer, I don't do it and I counsel against it!! The entire "Tyra" interview with Levi and his family was a public appeal to the general public of what not do in life, which let's face it, is much more humble and real than
The political landscape of 2009 into 2010, went from humored skepticism to downright ridiculous! Though I was one of the first to speak out against "Inside Edition" for illegally sensationalizing Bristol's teen pregnancy for a political punch in the gut to McCain's campaign, a clear lack of adherence to laws concerning the Press and a blatant disregard for legitimate journalism by putting minors' names into show commentary, that would've been better suited to Maury:
Who can forget Levi Johnston wanting to pose nude to get back at the Palin family for putting politics before the best interest of the family, of he and Bristol sticking it out to raise their son together, with Levi attaining the money for a lawyer by doing a "Playgirl" photo shoot:
This was what the real pics looked like, and please, no one tell
AND
"Johnston, who has posed nude for Playgirl for both online and print publications, also hopes to land acting jobs.
In court documents filed earlier, Johnston said he made $101,000 last year, but notes that income in the
Palin is seeking $1,688 a month in child support, down from an initial request of $1,750 after Johnston's income was adjusted. She's also asking for retroactive payments to the boy's birth, or $19,232 total. That does not include $4,400 Johnston has already paid in child support." -taken from "
Both Brown and Johnston aren't damaging their own character, unlike Palin, who has come across as two dimensional and flat, who I just really can't imagine ever being President, knowing though that the same voters feasted on the political vermin of Obama, anything seems better at this point than Obama, even it's Palin wackiness:
Guests: Juan
Bill Kristol: on Iran, we have authoratative agency, our response to their past nuclear obligations, and this is the 'moment of truth'.
Liasson: "fear of engagement" is the predicate. This Administration is supporting the resistance movement.
Wallace: Obama reacted to IAEA report/Iran is a distraction to democracy/do they want a confrontation to their domestic agenda?
Hayes: This is the first time in 30yrs. that the people of Iran aren't completely hostile to Americans or the West.
Wallace: If Iran's suppression of their people worked, then why will resistance against Iran's government work?
Kristol: engagement has failed!
Wallace: who spends the most time at the White House?/What's the consensus there?
Liasson: the Obama policies are now over, so the emerging policies on Iran are evolving.
Wallace: on the CPAC convention?
(I wanted to laugh at
Wallace: what about the anti-Bush sentiment then that Obama united voters on in 2008?
Liasson: we may have a better idea of how 2010 is shaping up, but 2012 is still a ways off, and this doesn't tell us who is going to be the candidate as being a Libertarian moment for Ron Paul, or is this a Tea Party moment, or is this energy source divisive... as in a candidate to being a good enough candidate to fare well in a general election. This is just like the anti-Bush sentiment theme that's now the same with now anti-Obama sentiment.
Kristol: with my 30yrs. (30 MAGICAL YEARS - CHUCKLE CHUCKLE) in politics the Tea Party is the best thing that's happened to the Conservative Party, I'm not much on Ron Paul when it's clear that this is the younger support of college age kids, and not the whole reflection of the Conservative Party, as Ron Paul is not mainstream conservative libertarian base, nor is Lou Dobbs.
Wallace: who helped or hurt CPAC?
Stephen Hayes: who can forget the "Tiger Woods 9 iron remark", the contrast of Ron Paul, or the fact that Huckabee and
***I DON'T MIND SECONDING EVEN
Kristol: there is no Reagan/there's no leader or leading candidacy, so the candidacy is up for grabs!!
MAYBE I JUST MISS THE DAYS OF PURE JOURNALISM, I YEARN FOR THOSE JOURNALISTS WHO TRULY INVESTIGATE BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUES, WHO PRESENT THE FACTS, AND THEN LET THE PUBLIC DECIDE. NOT THIS MEDIA JOCKEYING OF WHO SAID IT FIRST OR WHO IS THE MORAL
so that he wastes his time trying to convince us otherwise by singing his own praises, as he comes no closer to saving jobs than saving money or line-itemizing the budget for no deficit!
WHY ARE WE STILL SLIDING DEEPER INTO TO DEBT, IF WE SPENT ALL THIS MONEY ON THE STIMULUS AND BAILOUTS,
Which means, we as taxpayers aren't giving CONGRESS a blank check: 1 in 6 Americans are STILL unemployed and 1 in 5 Americans are in danger of losing their homes. In addition to the $1.2 trillion in bailouts that Obama gave to "fat cat bankers",
we're not interested in funding any legislation that Obama endorses or any legislation written by Reid, Pelosi, or Baucus that's not revised. We have reached a political stalemate that has less to do with the election of Scott Brown, and more to do with Democrats being afraid that their lies to the American public don't count as much in a ruined economy from doing it all "their way", and it took less time than I though it would, simply because of this:
Which was like putting a rubber on the infected and diseased economy, thinking that the stimulus umbrella would work to protect us from our financials being contaminated by the housing crisis and slow credit that spread rampantly like and open-sore herpes viral infection on our economy!! (Just ask Pelosi why she thinks she can tell Americans what to do with their sex lives and money, as California is broke and riddled with 3700 cases of STD'S at just one clinic from the porn industry, so her prescription for economic recovery and health care is not the kind of legislation that shows an effective model when looking at her state. Why not have had TX write the legislation, as they have a surplus?! Obama was actually going to scrap CHIP, which is a children's health care program that gave TX that surplus, just because he, Nancy, and the Democrats wanted to take the funding from it and spend it on abortion costs in the Public Option bills, NOT HEALTH CARE!!!) I mean, how much use can you get out of a prophylactic measure anyway and say that you're really getting what you deserve for all the money of yours that the government has spent?!
Gregory: How formidable are the Taliban?
Patraeus: 12/18 month campaign is just the beginning of counterinsurgency, and this has been well-planned in advance with 30,000 troops.
There are special forces troops that are also supporting Afghanistan's people.
Gregory: will losses be significant?
Patraeus: I do not have optimism or pessimism, but I am a realist; there will be no sanctuary or training camps left for the Taliban, regardless of what it costs us.
Gregory: what have you learned from the captured terrorist?
Patraeus: I won't talk about intel ops. I will say that the Pakistani people and the cleric have supported their own army against terrorism over the past 10 months and that they have to carry it out.
Gregory: what about enhanced interrogation techniques?
Patraeus: I stick to our values, not tending to be too expeditious, and to abide by what was put in place by the Geneva Convention.
Gregory: what about Gitmo?
Patraeus: Gitmo should be closed, but we should be prudent about it.
Gregory: so I think you would rather go around a minefield, rather than through it, so is this like another 9/11 or is this small attacks?
Patraeus: I won't back away from that question -- ANYONE looking to attack our partners or our homeland!
Gregory: what about Iran's nukes?
Patraeus: the Iran council will meet/this determines new intel development and strategy in U.S. involvement on Iran's activity/Iran hasn't been diplomatic/even Russia is now joining up/THERE WILL BE NO ARMING, FUNDING, TRAINING, AND EQUIPPING OF TERRORISTS!
Gregory: Can Israel deter Iran from going nuclear?
Patraeus: we're just trying to not be irresponsible.
Gregory: is Iraq the most democratic?
Patraeus: the election on March 7th, I hope that their new democracy holds, like in January 2009, and I expect that it will take time with all the drama and emotion.
Gregory: we're engaged in 2 wars/is it appropriate to revisit "Don't ask -- Don't tell"?
Patraeus: there will be a review/rigorous analysis/could be uneventful but how it affects recruiting and retention/overall policies.
Gregory: well, how does this affect gays and lesbians now? Do soldiers even care?!
Patraeus: We'll see if they do/I don't think so/the review is extremely important to see how this fits into the fabric of the military.
(I just want to say that I always thought the policy "Don't ask -- Don't Tell" was ridiculous, equivalent to saying "Don't fart -- Don't Smell", as it stinks in a couple of ways! Most heteros have a pretty indicative gaydar, and so I really don't think we need a policy to discourage something when we already can pick up on the fact you may be gay. The issue of the policy is that it's kind of like affirmative action, yet I see the policy as unnecessary in light of the fact that gay people are not to be discriminated against under the Constitution, as their totality isn't defined just by their choice of sexual behavior, nor does it completely define their value and worth as a human being, the very stance the military was actually trying to protect by instituting it in the first place. The military doesn't have to have the policy, as anyone gay or straight who puts their sexuality above the fulfillment of the mission can be terminated for dereliction of duty. Gay people aren't enlisting to "hook up" no more than heteros are there for that either! I guess really it depends on what else the gay community wants from the issue. Granting marriage to same sex couples is laughable, as two people of the same sex aren't biologically able to reproduce genetically diverse offspring from copulation that's deserving of the unique protection lawful marriage provides, so there is no need for the adjective "gay" to be attached to marriage. Marriage is combining two to make one, and gay couples will never have that need for lawful protection for their pairing to be defined as marriage. When you combine two of the same sex, there is unity to produce nothing. Sure, gay people may try to adopt and imitate the unity and oneness of a marriage, but gay people will never be able to define a spousal contract as marriage when their is no fruit. I guess if they want HOMO stamped on their dog |
David Gregory interview Pawltney on why WA can't get anything done....
CPAC Convention - Mr. Obama, no more apology tours and no giving Miranda Rights to terrorists.
Pawltney: the political forces at work favor the Conservatives and Republicans, and 2010 looks good, and people are tired of the over-reaching of the federal government.
Gregory: well then how and why did the Repubs get fired, according to your past statements??
Pawltney: Repubs have counted this as lessons learned/Obama bashing isn't the Repub strategy, but the proposing our ideas is forthcoming.
Gregory: what about you? You aren't known...
Pawltney: the Tiger remark is just humor, merely a grossly comical depiction of Americans saying that they've had enough, a hyperbole of how they feel, whether or not they act on how violently they are affected or jilted by Obama.
Gregory: are you taken seriously?
Pawltney: this is humorous, and there's an uprising in the people.
Gregory: how would you be the party, or the country, on the economy?
Pawltney: I fear double-dipping of the economy, like they do, like we'll hit an economic low again like before from transfer thefts, the devaluing of the dollar, incoherent waste of using the stimulus to sustain the government and not having growth. We went from 8% to 10% unemployment, so that failed and there is failed accountability on what it was actually spent on. Obama should've focused on tax code reform, and don't burden Americans with the cost of health care reform, as it's currently written.
Gregory: pens MN/what is his vision...
Pawltney: says that his vision is job creation.
Gregory: on terror?
Pawltney: though we can't say we've won, great progress has made.
Gregory: is climate change real? Pawltney: there's no question that the climate is changing, but we're dealing with botched numbers, and CAP and TRADE is a disastrous policy of Obama's, when we need to have an appreciation of clean coal technologies. Gregory: on "Don't ask -- Don't Tell"... Pawltney: I support it/say leave it alone. Gregory: what about health care reform? Pawltney: yes on reform, but not a federal takeover of health care, there needs to be a consumer and private market barometer. |
Gregory: on God and the Constitution?
Pawltney: if it's good enough for God and the founding fathers, then it's good enough for me!
More on why WA can't get anything done...
Van Hollen: Obama's 1st 9months were the most productive in legislation.
(I wanted to fall out of the chair and pound my fists laughing! Obama voted presented, nearly his entire time while in the Senate as "the Senator's first Kenyan Senator, never really taking a position, he said to encourage bipartisanship. I don't see that as true, as Obama invoked the 'I'm present, but not in the room' vote in order to increase the Democrats' filibustering power and deal making. He was also the only extremely pro-abortion Senator, if that a baby survived a botched abortion, he voted for a bill that would relieve the doctor the legal responsibility of providing medical care and costs for malpractice for a doctor not calling an ambulance and foregoing the Hippocratic Oath, leaving the baby to die and suffer, while it breathed on its own 2hrs. up to 6hrs. outside the mother's body, or laying on a heap of other dead babies, a pile of body's if you will to die. This type of radical stance on abortion is not only un-Christian, as Obama professes that he is, it is not only un-Muslim, which is why we were attacked by radical Muslims on 9/11, but this stance on abortion is idol worship. When you have a chance,
It is pertinent also to point out that by African traditional religions in this paper, we refer specifically to indigenous religious forms and systems which the different peoples of sub-Saharan Africa cultivated as part of their total experience of life within their particular ecological environment, society and history. The indigenous religions pre-date any other forms and articulations of the sacred that have been brought into the Continent from outside(8). The religious traditions differ one from another largely on account of differences in language, ecosystem and overall historical circumstances of the groups. But they possess a lot of similar essential characteristics. The vision of reality as a whole which they engender is very similar indeed. They possess an essential holistic vision of reality. Traditional Africans perceive life as an integral whole with the sacred flowing into all facets, underpinning and investing every worthwhile event with meaning and significance. There is no dichotomy between the visible and super-sensible world. Spiritual beings and cosmic forces manifest their presence and power through visible events and experience of life. African traditional religions are equally oral in nature. They are codified not in any sacred writings but in the living experience of people and various oral forms of communication."
I wanted to include that so that you may understand that with African beliefs, they may range from viewing people as property, if you are a king, including the right to destroy life as one sees fit or as an animal life, worshiping animal spirits, human sacrifices would appease gods or release the animal spirit inside a person, depending upon if the culture was more hunter hierarchy or social hierarchy with kingship, or human sacrifice to stop the harassment of evil spirits..... " Ajak participated in ritual sacrifices for Nhialic and his ancestral spirits (17). Part of the healing ritual involved the repair of the broken family bonds and a vow by Ajak and his relations to uphold the ancestral norms of his clan. He recovered fully and remained devoted to the clan divinities and the ancestral spirits. No spirit possessed or troubled him again.
There are numerous examples of similar cases of genuine religious conversion within African indigenous religions in the religious history of various traditional African groups. Unfortunately, their significance as authentic religious experience is often ignored or down-played by researchers. Or such experiences are treated or reduced simply to socio-structural, and psychological development."
Allow me to also include a historical record of abortion, as I wasn't taught this in high school or college nor was birth control a direct conversation with my parents of any kind until after the age of 20 and was mostly humorous anecdotes about sex. When I was 19, I asked my grandmother about birth control, because I started having female wellness exams, and so she explained birth control to me. Otherwise, my parents left birth control to the sex education program at my high school, and the topic of abortion was discussed by it was taboo study in high school and in college. The only controversial subject that I took was Ethics in college, arguing for or against the experimentation on the Dolly Sheep.
Since China is the oldest civilization, they were
The Royal Archives of China hold the earliest written record of an abortion technique.
The Hippocratic Oath was written in 400 BCE remained the standard medical oath until the 1970s. It stated, “I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.”
100s…
An early Christian document, the Didache, asks two questions concerning abortion: Is abortion being used to conceal the sins of fornication and adultery, and does the fetus have a rational soul from the moment of conception, or does it become an “ensouled human” at a later point?
In the 100s, Roman gynecologist Soranus wrote, “A contraceptive differs from an abortive, for the first does not let contraception take place while the latter destroys what has been conceived. Let us therefore call the one abortive and the other contraceptive.”
400s…
In Talmudic law in the 400s, three classes of Jewish women who should use contraceptives: young girls, pregnant women, and lactating women. It is suggested they use contraceptive sponge, coitus interruptus, and the performing of twisting and violent movements following intercourse.
1000s…
Avicenna, the physician and Islamic philosopher, wrote a medical textbook that became a standard for 500 years, in Islamic and Latin cultures. It included a chapter entitled “Regimen for Abortion and the Extraction of the Dead Fetus” and another, “The Prevention of Pregnancy” covering contraception.
1550 BCE…
Thirty five hundred years ago, the Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medial text, listed a recipe for a spermacidal plug made from the acacia plant, lint, and honey. This combination produces a lactic acid similar to that found in modern spermicides.
1866…
Contraceptive syringes were commonly advertised in the back of ladies home journals. A 1866 ad read, “it is used to destroy the life properties of the spermatic fluid without injury to the person.”
1920s…
The exact timing of human ovulation was discovered in the 1920s. Planned Parenthood created a calendar device called the “Rythmeter” to help couples learn how to prevent pregnancy.
1930s…
By the early 1930s, the American Birth Control League started by
1930s…
Through the 1930s, the demand for abortion increased until many physicians became “specialists in abortion, who devote themselves to that work to the exclusion of any other part of medical activity.” In addition to numerous physicians in New York City, and underground clinics were established on the West Coast.
1959…
Patricia Maginnis, a medical technician in San Francisco, developed a do-it-yourself abortion procedure that involved dilating your own cervix to miscarry. She also handed out pamphlets to women on how and where to find a safe, illegal abortion.
1970…
When abortion was illegal, two women in California started a self-help feminist health group called the Feminist Women’s Health Center. They developed an abortion procedure called “menstrual extraction” to abort early pregnancy.
1973…
January 22, 1973, Roe v Wade was passed and declared that the right of privacy included “a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.”
(As you can see, the abortion laws changed to keep up with the abortion
So, I don't really believe the argument that if women were outlawed from having abortions that they would resort to coat hangers and could kill themselves giving themselves an abortion. Women and people in general seem to be ignorant, for if they weren't, why would they continue to damage their own bodies by going to a doctor when they can die when it's not done for medical reasons. An abortion should only be performed to protect the life of the mother, in cases of a stillborn fetus, as this is dead fruit. The life is dead or has been determined won't live outside of the womb on it's own because of defect or improper development. I'm not an abortion advocate, and I am totally against abortion as means of a woman protecting her quality of life or preservation of her choice or rights, as a woman has a choice to educate herself and choose not to engage in sexual behavior, unless it's rape. A woman who is raped often has her inner parts so damaged that she may not be able to sustain a pregnancy that wasn't created out of love or of God's design. It is a moral and question best left to the woman who must answer to God, and to the doctor examining her womb. There's no reason for 50 million abortions, and there's no reason to pay for public abortions or abortion on demand like in Public Option. The blood of innocent children would then be on my hands, and I won't stand for it! Women usually don't know that they're pregnant in the first month when the brain starts to develop up to 12wks. even sometimes, and the brain stem is scientifically defining a fetus as a human being, having the capacity to regulate its own bodily functions. Furthermore, a woman's body is the temple of the Lord, is not for man to interfere with, as science cannot fully explain the complex miracle of life, and we're responsible to God for our creative powers, just a. s much for destroying His creation... not to Obama, the government, or any other earthly entity, but to Him alone. I'm afraid that Public Option will make us like China, the government then telling us how many kids we can have or telling us that we have to abort our children unless they are male, only having one girl. If I wanted to live like that, I would move to China, where government is god. Jesus is King, not Obama, or any of these earthly expositors of supposed order, and until we acknowledge that, this issue will be one of confusion rather than enlightenment.)
WHO IS THE KING OF THE WELFARE SYSTEM AND PLANNED PARENTHOOD?! NONE OTHER THAN OBAMA,
SO, LET'S NOT FORGET THEN THAT
THIS BRINGS ME BACK TO LEGISLATION INTERPRETATION BY OBAMA, AND THE PROCESS... THE CREDIT CARD BILL OF RIGHTS WASN'T EFFECTIVE ENOUGH. THE PROVISIONS OF IT TOOK ENTIRELY TOO LONG, AS MOST PEOPLE HAD TO DECLARE BANKRUPTCY OR WOULD HAVE TO USE ALL THE EQUITY IN THEIR HOME TO PAY OFF THEIR DEBT, MOST WITHOUT ANY INCOME COMING IN REGULARLY FROM A JOB. IT WAS A GOOD IDEA, BUT NOT REALLY WHAT WE'RE PAYING THE GOVERNMENT TO DO. THE GOVERNMENT CAN INVESTIGATE AND HOLD CREDIT CARD COMPANIES TO HIGH ETHICAL STANDARDS OF BUSINESS, NOT PERMITTING CREDIT CARD COMPANIES TO HAVE AN IMPLIED CONTACT PERMISSION, THE INTERPRETATION BEING OF HARANGUING PEOPLE ABOUT THEIR BILLS WHEN THEY HAVE NO JOB TO PAY THEM. IMAGINE HAVING LOST YOUR JOB OR LOOKING FOR A NEW ONE, AND ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR CREDITORS CALLING YOU, NOT KNOWING WHEN YOUR UNEMPLOYMENT IS GOING TO RUN OUT, ONLY GETTING $15 A MONTH IN FOOD STAMPS, WHILE YOU SEE OTHER PEOPLE COLLECT WELFARE THEIR ENTIRE LIVES, THAT THEY USED TO GET FOR MORE THAN 3 CHILDREN, WHILE YOU PAY TAXES TO THE GOVERNMENT WHO ALLOWS PEOPLE TO HARASS YOU (CREDITORS) AND ALLOWS OTHER PEOPLE TO STEAL FROM YOU BY MISUSE OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS (WELFARE). THE GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME ONE
Van Hollen: Repubs aren't getting anything done!
Gregory: Poedesta says that Obama is dealing with the Party of Palin, not of Lincoln, and that if Obama is like Clinton and starts cooperating with the Repubs, then the people will be governed and represented across the board.
EJ Dionne: politics doesn't match the structure, so this gives way to this kind of gridlock when people fundamentally disagree.
Peggy: if Obama would've been centrist, as he promised, if he would've reached across the aisle so far to Republicans that he almost alienated his party that he'd end up somewhere in the middle, this would be better than all of this partisanship of passing bills, like the stimulus and the credit card bill, so he hasn't broken partisanship ever in order to really be bipartisan or encourage what he said that he would do.
Pence: there needs to be seriousness on policy! Repubs are trying to cook up a new health care bill/and the stimulus really overall didn't include any Repub input!
Van Hollen: cuts off Pence to make a lame point that there was one thing in the stimulus Repubs asked for, one provision of tax cuts, and continues on his rag of how Repubs accuse Dems of lack of partisanship when they are the "Party of No".
Gregory: What about health care?
EJ Dionne: I think it's revived, but it's not a bipartisan bill or effort. Repubs could've done health care when they had the majority...
Gregory: so then why is the Dems bill so bad then?
Peggy: omnibus bills, thousands upon thousands of pages, aren't going to work with the American people or with Repubs in Congress, as this is ineffective governing. Perhaps if we were to break down the existing bills a little smaller, so that we may concentrate on passing the legislation effectively....
Pence: SATUP - like Obamacare, none of it's going to work!!
Van Hollen: well, we all agreed openly on bipartisan reform of not denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions.
Gregory: is there a Repub takeover of the House?
Van Hollen: the Repubs are in LA-LA LAND -- there's no champagne bubbling and no measuring of the drapes!
Gregory: Repubs are anti-government?
Pence: there is 9-12, Tea Party people, are they part of the Repubs? Yes, and they are anti-big government.
Gregory: on the political landscape?
EJ Dionne: Dems may have a chance to turn it around....
"This Week" with Terry Moran, who interviews Arnold and Rendell
Moran: this week will be high political theater and hard work with the summit on Thursday -- GOOD LUCK ON FINDING COMMON GROUND!!
Arnold: there's a comeback in the economy, and better than it's been in the past, I'm not overly optimistic about it, we must keep pushing, it's all about jobs, jobs, jobs and addressing the 12% unemployment, like in CA, my state.
Rendell: our state wasn't as bad and growth will be slow, 3% then to 4.5% with the stimulus ending, this will be hard on the states, but the stimulus was just supposed to be a bridge...
(Quoting Palin here: the stimulus is 'the bridge to Nowhere', when it came to jobs and stopping the economic bleeding from unemployment. My quotes: the stimulus was nothing that we were told it was going to be, and instead the stimulus put a government monopoly on infrastructure costs and jobs in the private sector, giving the government control of when and who will do the work, instead of leaving it up to individual state budgets.)
Moran: so we need another stimulus then? Is $15 billion enough?!
Arnold: no on another stimulus/we just need to rebuild America's infrastructure, or we won't be #1, as we won't have the motility to stay on top of manufacturing where we've lost so many jobs as is, we've talked about infrastructure and tabled it for 2yrs., so we've stopped maintaining it. Infrastructure jobs always really increase available jobs, so we must realign state budgets and federal spending for money on infrastructure.
(Even Arnold woke up and smelled the coffee! When a woman can pay for her own birth control out of her own pocket at a cost to her of $100 per year, then why is it necessary to spend $100 million to pay for abortion procedures, when we could use this money to fix our roads and bridges??! At the cost that abortion is now, just to include it in the Public Option bills will take 100 years to pay for the procedure!! Abortion, as the financing mechanism is a myth, that I debunked. Selling human carcasses and aborted bodies to stem cell research will not make up the cost of the procedure itself or profit any money significantly to develop a high-tech cure for AIDS, MS, or diabetes, as only stem cells grown from the person's own body in a test tube do not cause genetic rejection, and the aborted stem cells cause genetic rejection and cancer, swapping an incurable disease for a managed illness and limits on curative and restorative treatments, as chemotherapy is destructive! There are many other alternatives to genetic disease treatment and management, but none accepted currently by the AMA, as they can't patent it and make money off of it. Anti-oxidant teas and vitamins along with DMSO can be treatment and cures cancer, but they aren't covered by insurance companies, so you have to go to a Naturopathic doctor or read up on it for yourself. That doesn't mean that you may not have to have an operation to remove the cancer, but chemo is very damaging and is a last resort, as the body is designed to eliminate abnormal cells on its own. Additionally, stem cells have been limited only to organ regeneration, so there is no need for massive carcass harvesting and funding should be limited. This is why I consider Public Option a mammoth misappropriation of our tax dollars!!)
Rendell: infrastructure should've been doubled anyway, as the money from the stimulus and what's appropriated only scratches the surface of the amount of money that it will take to build and maintain what's crumbling. Infrastructure is indicative of economic security, it improves everyone's quality of life, and provides job creation... and infrastructure paves the way for long-term job creation, no one in government now has a 10yr. plan, as they're to fixated on the next election.
Cuts to Romney clip of him saying that Obama scared employers and the stimulus created not one single job...
Moran: asks if Romney is accurate?
(I say the ABC report only found 88 jobs to date that it reported on its broadcast, so we know that the stimulus did little to stop job loss from other factors like the stock market and housing market investments taking a tumble, and the stimulus only preserved government jobs from being done away with really...)
(I agree wholeheartedly with Rendell, unless it is an over-the-top green initiative program, like the proposed circular walking trail here in ATL, and this trail will go all the way around ATL, connecting a bike route through the inner Metro area like 6-75, but for bikers and hikers. Atlantans really don't want it, and they've jokingly called it the "Ring around the Congo", seeing ATL as a concrete jungle, and this would increase crime and gang
Arnold: there is a Repub push back on the stimulus, but then they get the check, tout what they do with the money and take pictures of what they spent the money on, but criticize it -- it's pure politics! We should ask ourselves: how can we support Obama?
(Arnold, I have a personal question for you: how can you still support Obama? What has been good for CA doesn't mean it's been good for GA, and we refused stimulus funds that our state wouldn't be forced to have to foot the bill for abortion, which is CA's agenda, not ours! Refusing to use stimulus funds was our last bargaining chip, so that we wouldn't have to secede!!)
Wendell: PA stimulus worked, otherwise, we would've had to lay of 37,000 state workers, cutting the government work force in half!!
(I say that GA already did this on a small scale, we cut back the Ethics Department, in half and made it incredibly ineffective under the less venerable leadership of the most recently resigned Secretary of State Karen Handel. So much so, that she failed to charge the former Sheriff Victor Hill of Clayton County with misappropriation. This policy enacted on this department was very ineffective, and simply gave Mrs. Handel more control to pad numbers for Perdue, but it wasn't enough to spare him from declining state revenue, which her department failed to go collect, 25% of it still missing, and it gave her more money to spend in her own department, doing less work for money, turning a corporate profit off of mismanaging our tax dollars. She's done nothing to help GA taxpayers, and she now wants to be Governor -- lmao! This cutting government in half only works by cutting
Moran: what about the stimulus criticism?
Wendell: people misunderstood the stimulus from the get-go, it was for hard-working Americans to keep their jobs, and maybe Obama should've held a stimulus summit to explain it to the people.
(I'm like omG... I see the fruit now of how poorly the stimulus didn't work, as Obama stated, so why would a summit have helped even, in retrospect??!)
Moran: seems like Repubs are now proud of their 'NO' record, and they've even taken up the former cynicism and filibustering power that the Democrats used to have... lol
Arnold: is the Repub Party, your party?! He retorts, saying that Repubs are working it politically and they're targeting and rallying the dissatisfied, so the Tea Party isn't going anywhere.
(I disagree with Arnold though, about his remarks of being pounded by the Press, like he had to pull teeth by proposing it 5x before it caught on, and people woke up to what he was saying. That's what the Press does, and what he does as a politician. It's his responsibility to research and present the best solution, and then it's up to the people to vote it up or down. The Press machine has gone unchecked by the proliferation of video and internet, unchecked and unfettered by the restraints and integrity required of printed literature.)
Moran: does Obama need new blood in the White House? Has his political power been drained??
Wendell: no, but the no spending/no borrowing prescription proposed by the Repubs with no infrastructure spending is disastrous, and Obama should table health care, as it's written.
Moran: so what about the summit then? Do you expect anything out of it?
Arnold: thinks Michelle carrying the banner for childhood obesity is politically
Wendell: Repubs have to have some ideas to bring to to the table in order for Dems to go anywhere with this -- Dems have to compromise.
Arnold: agrees. COMPROMISE.
Moran: on
Will: only 1/3 of libs voted for Obama, the energy is now on the right, college students are sucked in by this over-the-top rhetoric, so it's the hour of the entertainer!!
Moran: is it flat on its back?
Huffy: violent imagery usage at CPAC, and this is one day after a plane crashes into the IRS building?!
Brazile: didn't watch CPAC, as she didn't want to get infected with the spirit of anger.
(I guess that's why I don't watch a lot of Obama or Democratic brainwashing rhetoric: I don't want to be infected with a spirit of elitism, that God doesn't matter, nor the spirit of mediocrity and complacency that has polluted our government and country, spewing from the mouth of Obama who shouldn't even be President; he should be found out by the Supreme Court and promptly impeached. We can't afford any more attacks on our country or any more financial damage, I'M DONE WITH OBAMA, as I never entertained his political theater or B.S. !!)
First off, after record droughts, who could've predicted that the fall rains would completely fill our drought-ridden land into a sopping, stinking, rotting water hole, doing oodles of damage across the U.S., followed by the heaviest snowfall and coldest winter the U.S. has seen across the entire country in like, 30 years??! The earth, doing everything it can to balance out the damage to the atmosphere with the holes in the ozone from carbon emissions, has rebounded with a surplus water supply and bug killing winter. It's hard to see the point of taxing factories for carbon emissions polluting the atmosphere for making the earth more hot, when the plants have leveled out this process by putting more oxygen into the atmosphere, which produces more water and snow. Global warming is an issue of responsibility, not another government program to raise even more taxes on businesses, when incentives and business opportunities to invest in clean
Huffy: says that the peoples' anger is real, and that the Repubs did a great study about about the govt. being one big party, with bailout after bailout for the bankers...
IT'S NOT JUST THAT REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING "NO", IT'S REALLY THAT AMERICANS ARE SAYING TO THE DEMOCRATS "YOUR WAY ISN'T WORKING !!!"
Dowd: Congress and WA are acting like children, playing political games with peoples' lives, with people not having jobs or any REAL health care, not just abortion service plan on the government credit card!!
(Even so, Will paddles back up the river of denial, with this comment:)
Will: Bayh voted against all of Obama's appointments, and he even voted against Public Option, the left is really even having trouble with Obama's policies, but no one was on it like they were when Bush had tg
REVISING HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION IS A LOT MORE COMPLICATED THAN SIMPLY LIFTING A BEER TO YOUR LIPS AND SAYING "WE AGREE TO DISAGREE, HERE-HERE!". OBAMA WOULD BE WISE TO ACKNOWLEDGE BOB THE BUILDER HERE, THAT EVEN BOB THE BUILDER CAN FIX ANYTHING, HE CAN'T BUILD HEALTH CARE REFORM ON BILLS WITH A FOUNDATION OF SAND !!!
