Liberal Forum

"Try and make it function poorly?" It's a freaking "train wreck" to use one Dem's description that's collapsing on its own. The real Obama unemployment rate is 12% with no improvement in sight. The Fed can't stop creating fiat money at a $1 trillion annual pace. The Obama deficit is "only" $650 billion or so this year. Obamacare is causing widespread layoffs in health care and destroying the health insurance industry. But you bleat about this? Imbecile. You are wrong on the real unemployment rate. The U6 rate according to the BLS is 13.7. http://www.bls.gov/n.../empsit.t15.htm

BEDFORD: Creepy Uncle Sam is the best political mascot since normal Uncle Sam ByChristopher Bedford5:04 PM 09/20/2013 The left is having a temper tantrum. Readinga couple of liberal scribes over the past 24 hours, we can almost hear the huffing and puffing, the indignant stamping of feet; reading their tweets, we can nearly hear the feverish pitch of their whines. Oh, the outrage. Won’t somebody please think of the children? On and on. The cause? These hysterically creepy ads GenerationOpportunityreleased urging young people to opt out of Obamacare on Oct. 1. Complaints have ranged from the mundane to the delusional, with the ever-reliable folks at MSNBCseeing racismin the ads’ diverse set of actors. But brushing aside the panicked innuendos the left brings to every waking moment, all the young folks over at Generation Opportunity are seeing are clicks. Awareness of their cause. Alertness to their message. Because seriously, when is the last time an anti-Obamacare ad went viral? And viral it went. Published on Thursday, the videos have already racked up over one million hits combined. In the first 24 hours, over 100 publications wrote them up.... So let the outrage continue. Let more readers click, and learn a thing or two about the options they have in front of them. Giving citizens the information they need to make important and informed decisions about their lives and theirhealth careis, as one powerful liberal isfond of saying, “The right thing to do.” Oh, and one more thing for all our well-meaning liberal friends: If you see a rubber glove rectal exam and think this ad has anything to do with “sex,” you’re probably not doing it right. ba wa ha ha ha!

RichClem, on 20 Sept 2013 - 13:19, said:Who cares what that leftist moonbat thinks?And the Daily Beast is little more than a wing of the corrupt Democrat Party.It's not about what she thinks. She did a segment that showed dozens of websites and groups that bilk tons of funds for dumb cons like you who think you can overturn Obamacare by sending in your money!!! It's hilarious. Those sites are making cash hand over fist because of dumb con fcks just like you!!!I wonder how much Clem has contributed to these scam artists.

Chris Wallace: Republican Leaders Sent Me Opposition Research On Ted CruzChris Wallace said Sunday morning that he'd received opposition research from other Republicans about Senator Ted Cruz in advance of Cruz's appearance on 'Fox News Sunday'."This has been one of the strangest weeks I've ever had in Washington," Wallace said. "As soon as we listed Ted Cruz as our featured guest this week, I got unsolicited research and questions, not from Democrats but from top Republicans, to hammer Cruz."Karl Rove responded: "This was a strategy laid out by Mike Lee and Ted Cruz without any consultation with their colleagues. With all due respect to my junior Senator from Texas, I suspect this is the first time that the end game was described to any Republican Senator. They had to tune in to listen to you to find out what Ted's next step was in the strategy."Republicans eating their own.Gotta love it.

I wonder how much Clem has contributed to these scam artists. From the moonbat who fell for Obama's con job. How's that roaring Obama Economy going?

(incessant braying)Better practice saying Governor McAuliffe.Looks like the Cooch could go down.His unfavorably rate is 51 percent.

Better practice saying Governor McAuliffe. Looks like the Cooch could go down. His unfavorably rate is 51 percent. Oh look, she cut my post out. Moonbats truly need to remain reality-free. From the moonbat who fell for Obama's con job. How's that roaring Obama Economy going? Get ready to say Governor Cucinelli. He's gone negative against McCauliffe, including on Obamacare and McCauliffe's crooked deals. And unlike McCauliffe, he's being honest in his ads. Say, you bleated about some legal gifts Cucinelli got. Why aren't you bleating loudly about McCauliffe's far more serious corruption? Because all you spread is partisan Disinformation and Democrat Talking Point Lies.

Oh look, she cut my post out. Moonbats truly need to remain reality-free. Because all you spread is partisan Disinformation and Democrat Talking Point Lies.Why did Cuccinelli fail to disclose his Star Scientific stock holdings and gifts from the CEO?It's funny how he is using the term 'quid pro quo' in his ads against McAuliffe.He knows a lot about that.http://realclearpoli...liffe-3033.htmlRasmussen still has McAuliffe up by 6 points.Democrat Terry McAuliffe still holds a six-point lead over Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli in the race to be Virginia’s next governor.http://www.rasmussen...rginia_governor

Why did Cuccinelli fail to disclose his Star Scientific stock holdings and gifts from the CEO? It's funny how he is using the term 'quid pro quo' in his ads against McAuliffe. He knows a lot about that. Why are you ignoring far worse sleaze by McCauliffe? Because you don't care what's fair and accurate. You're a dishonest partisan troll. Why didn't you answer my question? How's that roaring Obama Economy going? Rasmussen still has McAuliffe up by 6 points. Cucinelli is hitting him hard tying him to Obamacare. And his base is more dedicated than the empty suit's. We'll see.

Why are you ignoring far worse sleaze by McCauliffe?What makes it far worse, the fact that he has a 'D' after his name?The Cooch is just as crooked as your greedy criminal governor.He really lined his pockets didn't he? LOL

Why are you ignoring far worse sleaze by McCauliffe? What makes it far worse, the fact that he has a 'D' after his name? The Cooch is just as crooked as your greedy criminal governor. He really lined his pockets didn't he? LOL McCauliffe played a huge role in Clinton's massive illegal fundraising operations. You know, the ones that you lied for years weren't crimes committed by Clinton and his top officials? How typical that you bleat endlessly about chump change while overlooking millions of dollars of sleazy personal gain and related felonies. McAuliffe is particularly adept at the raising of soft money – funds that, by endorsing an overall cause or party rather than a specific candidate, are legally permitted to exceed the limits normally placed on contributions to a political campaign. Because they are not bound by such restrictions, soft money contributions are often so large – frequently in excess of $100,000 – that donors naturally expect to receive some form of payback in return for their generosity. McAuliffe’s soft money strategy was responsible for President Clinton’s 1996 scandal concerning the Lincoln Bedroom sleepovers and the White House coffees, two tactics employed to solicit huge donations from wealthy friends and patrons of the Clintons. Al Gore once declared McAuliffe “the greatest fund-raiser in the history of the universe.” Notwithstanding his success at raising money, McAuliffe has been the subject of federal investigations into questionable business deals and real estate ventures, illegal fundraising, and campaign finance abuses. One case involved a lease with a government agency for which McAuliffe’s firm may have illegally received a $375,000 contingency fee. McAuliffe was also involved in a 1997 money-laundering scandal with the group Citizen Action. Another storm of scandal to recently swirl around McAuliffe involved the extraordinary $18 million windfall he pocketed from his investments in the telecommunications company Global Crossing (GC). In just eighteen months, McAuliffe’s $100,000 initial investment in the company grew to $18 million. Moreover, the New York Times reports that McAuliffe earned yet additional millions from trading the stock and options after the company went public in 1998. Press reports indicate that McAuliffe also did “political work” for Global Crossing CEO Gary Winnick, and even arranged a golf outing for Winnick with then-President Bill Clinton. Winnick would later contribute $1 million to Clinton’s presidential library. Shortly after Winnick made this contribution, the Pentagon awarded Global Crossing a $400 million contract. Moreover, GC soon became the Democratic Party’s biggest corporate donor. The appearance of impropriety in this chain of events is unmistakable. The Bush administration eventually cancelled the Pentagon deal when it learned of irregularities in the bidding process, which were detailed in separate complaints filed by those who had lost the bidding war. At that point, Global Crossing’s stock price plummeted immediately. In summation, this was a case where GC had artificially inflated its stock price, allowing its executives – and Terry McAuliffe – to reap enormous profits during the year preceding GC’s filing for bankruptcy – while employees lost their 401(k) retirement plans and their life’s savings. http://www.discovert....asp?indid=1084

For all my right wing flying monkey friends who are trying to convince us that it is the Democrats who shut down the government.House Republican Admits To Donors: GOP Had To Shut Down The Government To Please The Tea PartyThough he repeatedly joined with all of his Republican colleagues to force the government shutdown, in a candid moment last month Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR) complained that the Tea Party's influence forced them to do it.Walden, who chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee (the House GOP's campaign arm), reportedly told a group of top Republican donors that the Tea Party's organizational strength meant that Republicans had to shutdown the government and obstruct a debt-ceiling increase."Listen," Walden told them, "We have to do this because of the Tea Party. If we don't, these guys are going to get primaried and they are going to lose their primary." Noting that he often hears complaints from the pro-business wing of the party, he noted none of them get involved at the local level. "The Tea Party gets involved at the local level," he added.

Yea, EC mentioned this in one of his threads. It's scarey that this article predicts that they'll hold up the debt limit also.

Drastic times call for drastic constitutional measures.

For all my right wing flying monkey friends who are trying to convince us that it is the Democrats who shut down the government. Hilarious - Anarchists set up squalid make shift encampments in urban areas nationwide, rife with violence against women, illegal drugs, and all kinds of filth, and you lefties call it a "grass roots movement.' Normal, hardworking Americans use the system, go through proper channels and lobby (you call it pressure) their representatives to support their interests, and you lefties malign and villainize them. That's why people like me know that people like you just have it wrong...

For all my right wing flying monkey friends who are trying to convince us that it is the Democrats who shut down the government. Typical that you'd mis-represent your own source, troll. What, didn't think you'd get caught? Walden, who chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee (the House GOP’s campaign arm), reportedly told a group of top Republican donors that the Tea Party’s organizational strength meant that Republicans had to shutdown the government and obstruct a debt-ceiling increase. So the intent was not to shut down the government, but to do so if necessary to stop Obama's vast overspending. Lie much?

LOLThese insurrectionist neo-confederate teabaggers keep saying that they speak for all Americans, when they say that Americans don't want the ACA to take effect.If that were true why have the phone lines and websites been jammed up for two days with people trying to sign up for healthcare?They only speak for their gerrymandered districts.Typical that you'd mis-represent your own source, troll.What, didn't think you'd get caught? Walden, who chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee (the House GOP’s campaign arm), reportedly told a group of top Republican donors that the Tea Party’s organizational strength meant that Republicans had to shutdown the government and obstruct a debt-ceiling increase.How did I mis-represent my own source, when that is exactly what I posted?So the intent was not to shut down the government, but to do so if necessary to stop Obama's vast overspending.Lie much?Do you know how to read?The intent was to do both.Walden said the Tea Party's organizational strength meant that Republicans had to shutdown the government AND obstruct a debt-ceiling increase.He said nothing about shutting down the government only IF it was necessary to stop Obama's spending.Riddle me this Jackhole, how much money can Obama spend that has not been appropriated by Congress?They have the checkbook, not him.

Riddle me this Jackhole, how much money can Obama spend that has not been appropriated by Congress?They have the checkbook, not him. And specifically which side of the legislature is responsible for appropriations? And did they not offer an appropriation bill that would have kept government running? So in reality, if the house is doing their job who is shutting down government, Jackhole?

Left wing protestors are 'anarchists' and right wing protestors are 'patriots'. LOLLaugh ****...but which group has engaged in the destruction of property costing millions of taxpayer dollars?As to the web traffic:EXCLUSIVE: Less than 1% of visitors are signing up for Obamacare on state health exchange websitesCalifornia's program registered an estimated 0.58 per cent of website visitors in its first dayA Connecticut congressman boasted that his state took 167 applications for Obamacare services on day one, a rate of 0.59 per centObama administration won't say how many Americans signed up on the central website that covered insurance exchanges for 36 statesKentucky's 5.3 per cent application rate seems to be the nation's highestOther states wouldn't provide statistics, or tracked only the creation of new online accounts, not numbers of completed applicationsByDAVID MARTOSKO, U.S. POLITICAL EDITORPUBLISHED:16:05 EST, 2 October 2013|UPDATED:23:33 EST, 2 October 2013As President Obama's signature health insurance overhaul effort began to enroll new participants on Monday, some states running their own insurance exchanges saw huge levels of website traffic but paltry interest in signing up.California, the ultimate blue state whose federal lawmakers voted overwhelmingly in support of Obamacare, turned less than 1 per cent of its Web visits into 'Covered California' participants on Tuesday.'We had over 5.7 million hits to our website as of 3 p.m. yesterday,' Covered California spokeswoman Kelsey Caldwell told MailOnline Wednesday.'7,700 consumers began their application process yesterday. ... 4,143 applications are pending,' she added. 'We received 23,269 calls yesterday to our service center.'Caldwell couldn't say how many of the 5.7 million website hits were from unique Californians. But assuming 712,500 online visitors saw eight different Web pages each, the sign-up rate was 0.58 per cent.Connecticut saw a similarly low rate of interest. Democratic Congressman Jim Himes tweeted after 8:30 p.m. Monday that his state's health exchange had 'received 28k visitors, and took 167 applications for health insurance. Day 1.'That indicates just 0.59 per cent of Connecticut residents who sought information about their state's Obamacare program on Monday decided to become part of it, according to Access Health CT spokeswoman Kathleen Tallarita.Read more:http://www.dailymail...l#ixzz2ghRBTwHJ
