err this was as disjointed as possible and didnt convey any coherent train of thought. Was the rescue or Chrysler and GM bad and why? Was government's bankruptcy program for GM bad or not? Would you have prefered GM too totally collapse leading to loss of thousands of jobs and deepening the recession?

To a rookie like yourself in political discourse, of course it would be! Your mind is yet to mature and develop the shrewdness needed to capture the panoramic view of the political landscape. You are bogged down in the miniscule and granular process. Cant see past the bridge of your nose. Wake up and look at the systemic failure.


If the rescue of GM was so bad where are the critics condemning it now?

Criticism is not the measure of success or failure of a public policy. Sit down boy. . .let me coach you on how to decipher politicaltalk in Washington.
You are waiting on critics. . .let me know when they arrive. grin


Actually the cash for clunkers program was a huge success. Generated $3bn to auto dealers.

Everytime I give benefit of the doubt and talk to you like a highminded politician you always dissapoint. Generated $3bn to auto dealers. Oh wow!!! Was that the objective of the program? Has the program accomplished what it was set out to do? . . .or by any stretch of imagination, does it even appear it could?

Like i said earlier . . . you are a complete joke. So you think yourself a "pro" in political discourse even though no one can make out any intelligence in much of the drivel you post? You make false claims with NO ATTEMPT to back them up with published facts.

Again i repeat . . . why are you finding it enormously difficult to point out just 2 examples of Obama's prodigal handling of the economy? what has that to do with the grammar you are spouting?

This is dumb, sorry to say. If the managed bankruptcy of GM was bad why has the republican party not taken up a protest on it? where are the unions crying about how badly the govt has screwed them?

this is nonsense again. The aim of the program was to boost the economy . . . give people incentives to spend money and thus stimulate the economy. The reason the first Bush tax rebates of last yr failed was because people basically pocketed the money or used it to pay down existing debts. Increased consumer spending is a key cog in the wheel of the US economy and that was what the cash for clunkers program was aimed to stimulate.

You spend way too much time saying absolutely nothing and yet pretend you've just dropped a gem.

Re: Cash For What?. . . by Nobody: 10:10pm On Sep 01, 2009
hehe Rep Lynn Jenkins simply makes you wonder how Rethugs think.

At her latest town hall she REJECTS the notion of a public option because it will require tax dollars, then proposes a TAX CREDIT for those who cannot afford insurance. Well doesnt that same tax credit come from the tax payer? grin

When asked directly why she was against a government-run program, Jenkins laughed and said, "A government-run program is going to subsidize not only yours but everybody in this room. So I'm not sure what we're talking about here."

I dont think Jenkins understands how the Government option plan works, it wont be like a tax credit to EVERYBODY, it will simply lower the costs for every so that even those who are poor can afford health insurance. That's the goal.

Jenkins idea of tax credits does absolutely nothing but add more dollars to the pockets of HMOs. For a family who pay $15,000 per yr on health insurance plus deductibles . . . what will a $5000 tax credit do? grin

Get out your notebook and write this down dummie. . .

1. Republicans are not pleased with it and are indeed going to protest it. It's a big screw up that could affect the Democrat base in Congressional election of 2010. If they protest it now the horse would be beaten tired and dead by November of next year and would be ineffective as a campaign ammo against the other party. It is in the cooler till campaign runs nextyear when things start to heat up, then they bring it out and wear their opponent down with it.
I already told you . . ."ya can't see past your nose"!

2. Why would Union protest what was heavily in their favor? Moreso, for many of them they are in midterm of contract and until the next bargaining contract goes in effect they truly have a narrow wiggle room to reject what many of their due-paying members consider life saving. Just because the Union consider cash for clunker a life saver does not equate to success of the program and neither does it make it a savvy and prudent public policy.

I swear if I didnt know you live in New York I would take it that you live somewhere in rural Alabama or Mississippi for the way you digest political issues; you are too innocent and might find it hard succeeding as a career politician. Honestly. . . cool

All this gobbledegook as the US racks up another $9 trillion(baseline figure) in national debts over the coming decade. Obama is eventually going to engineer the biggest collapse of the US economy making last year's events look like child's play.

I suppose they'd be complaining about why he's using taxpayers money to walk on water.

their main problem is racism. Notice the teaparty movement seems to have died a natural death? Perhaps its because they finally noticed their taxes have actually gone down not up.
Re: Cash For What?. . . by preselect(m): 4:34am On Sep 05, 2009
i really feel for them. i'm trying to imagine what it feels like to be a looser grin they cant stand a black president in their country. lol . america is changing rapidly before their eyes and they cant stand it. well,they better do b/c i'm storming the US this december. . . .and this time, for good wink

this is God's own country. it belongs to all man grin , make i begin the prepare myself small, small. grin
Re: Cash For What?. . . by Nobody: 4:39am On Sep 05, 2009
I read an excellent analysis of their problem once . . . most of them are economically disadvantaged folks whose only consolation in life is that at least they are not black. To see a black man as their CIC must have come as a rude shock to them.

All men? undecided. Do you really think so? Its the U.S's choice to award u a visa which permits entry into their country. Don't get me wrong,I love Obama and all he stands for but the U.S ain't a company where you buy shares on the stock exchange. It is owned by its citizens alone.

They are the equivalent of Michael Steele. The token blacks in the republican party. Ask them to explain their grouse with Obama and you start seeing the cookie crumble.

lol i'm watching it now and i just shake my head when they go on with this new "i'm scared to death about America" . . . what is making them scared? That a man who isnt white is now in the white house? undecided
Re: Cash For What?. . . by Nobody: 3:43am On Sep 06, 2009
wow this is really bitter, you can feel the racism . . . its so palpable. Except of course its all coded language like "real america", "blue-colored workers" all translating to "white america".
Re: Cash For What?. . . by preselect(m): 3:45am On Sep 06, 2009
a sorry situation. what ignorance and prejudice can cause. these same people constitute the tea bag protesters. these same people are the town hall warriors. these same people all watch fox news. these are the people tayo d thinks are in the same ideology with him grin

all white people
Re: Cash For What?. . . by Nobody: 3:50am On Sep 06, 2009
lol i cant help but think as i watch this, that to so many of them America means one thing - white man's land.

to see the guy on clip 3 who cant even define socialism (he couldnt spell it either) but accuses Obama of being a socialist? shocked
Re: Cash For What?. . . by Nobody: 3:55am On Sep 06, 2009
The dude in clip 3 from 7:12 just makes me understand the real angst of these people. He's shedding real tears and disappointed with America because "at one time they (white people) used to be top dogs in America but now are nothing no more". He claims he was from the old school, apparently the time when blacks had to stand up for whites in buses and had to queue at the back to use "colored only" restrooms.

He cant believe one of them has actually risen to be president. Folks like this wont mind going to jail for life if they can take out Obama with a rifle.

It isnt about socialism or taxes or bad government for these guys . . . its about race. It always was. Tayo, i think is a bit deluded if he thinks these folks are fighting an ideological battle.

Clip 3 . . . 8:25 - i'm not partial to blacks. Case closed really.
Re: Cash For What?. . . by Nobody: 4:12am On Sep 06, 2009
One of the kids on clip 5 said if Obama won he'd move to Canada . . . i'm just wondering if he's aware that socialist single-payer healthcare is the Canadian system.
Re: Cash For What?. . . by preselect(m): 4:15am On Sep 06, 2009
wait till tayo wakes up 2mrw to give his own version grin

whatever you are doing, never go near those red necks in rural america. they are really bitter. when u see a man weep in front of a camera, b/c a black man was seriously running for president. note that at that time the election had not taken place o. some were planning to leave the country if obama wins. there is real bitterness. if they have a chance, they wont hesitate to take out obama.

bringing guns to townhalls, hitler photos to healthcare debate, tea party protest when taxes were reduced grin , a pastor praying that obama should die, obama should be careful.

that is why i was worried about hillary being VP, b/c her supporters in the primaries were also somewhat bitter at the time, and the ''lone wolf'' may want to take it out to make her president through the back door grin
Re: Cash For What?. . . by preselect(m): 4:18am On Sep 06, 2009
david some of them are so bitter, they dont care about obama reducing their taxes. they just want him dead. grin . . they dont care. one was very frank and said he'll vote for the white man. the guy in mississipi said he's not ready for a nigga to rule. the other guy said the south is not ready.

tea party grin
