“Free” is not a problem only for Obama. Remember Mr. Romney has told us that all we have to do if we need health care we can’t afford is to go to the Emergency Room. He told us it’s free. I guess that’s the ultimate union-buster; take away everyone’s pay, and there wasn’t even a union in the first place. Hey, maybe that was his intent……you have to admit this is a great way to make sure health care is affordable: don’t pay anyone. We doctors and nurses would be happy to donate our time and expertise for the rest of our natural lives.
I seem to recall Romney saying “Tax cuts for everyone!” (i.e. FREE MONEY). With the exception of Obama asking wealthy people to pay a little bit more, neither candidate has asked for citizens to sacrifice anything.
Why does the right keep saying free healthcare? It’s funded now through we the people and I am glad more users will be participating by paying into the system on a routine basis.
I agree- no business is too big to fail!! I opposed both Bush and Obama on the bail outs. The country/people could have worked to help those out of jobs – and no doubt it would have hurt. Pain is a great teacher.
most Americans opposed the Dec.2008 “Bush bailout, TARP”but it was small change compared to what Obama did from Jan. 2009 todate!-to “play one on tv”….I never heard or read that Romney said that going to the ER “was free”….I think you got that wrong.-I want a president that will try to do a U-turn to get the USA on the way back to “Free Enterprise”…..that president cannot be the current leader into European communism/socialism, Obama. I don’t expect a miracle, but I do want congress plus president to cancel Obamacare and rewrite government aid plans for the truly needy, using as much private enterprise as possible. Obamacare plans to steal medicare money for adding millions of younger patients and plans to shortchange medical professionals on pay and to undercut private drug manufacturers. Then the soviet-type committee rationing of “care” will take over.
^Just watched 2 min and 30 seconds of Fux news going on with Bolton (psycho!) about “Benghazi”. 1. this is NOTHING compared to Bush’s wars, and failures on 9/11l01. 2. As I’ve noted, I know people who’ve been in these situations like Benghazi, and elsewhere, and the Fux attack is PURE B.S., and disgusting beyond belief.
Interesting that when “righties” cite the “British accounts”, they only list sources also OWNED BY MURDOCH!
I keep thinking our few ultra-right morons here might be trolls sent to be professional idiots, and that they’re really small in number, and don’t represent the “right” at all in reality. But, the DO represent that minority brainwashed by Fux, Limbaugh, Beck and Pat Robertson, and even that small percentage is way too many idiots out there.
It’s been over a decade now, when will “W” come out and tell the truth about all his lies, and explain all the dead with some facts, any facts, that led to his wars? Maybe he could challenge well, the United Nations, NATO, BBC, Reuters, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, or the hundreds of other sources that all PROVED: he lied, they died.
This reminds me of that Ohio Welfare queen bragging about how Obama got her a free cell phone. She said everyone should vote for Obama because he got her free stuff.
I agree with DGF999 – What will those looters do when Atlas shrugs and they no longer have the industrious to depend on for their livlihood.
I too will take Free enterprise every time.
Honestly, if they are so dependent on the government for everything they should be treated like children and not allowed to vote.
Ansonia: proof of your troll status, thanks. BTW, my friends, and my son’s friends were killed because of "W"s blatant lies. Over 150 of my friends from “my war” are named on “The Wall” in D. C., so, we take a dim view of idiots who get our troops killed for their “vanity”.
Also, besides accurate news sources about what goes on in the Middle East and around “other” parts of the world with our military, my son had plenty of personal experience for 13 years, and ended up a disabled vet for his trouble, in defending your right to come here and troll.
your right I have 1 billion dollars growing at 2% interest only gives a meager 20 million dollars per year for sitting and going nothing, really austere conditions, especially considering the mortgage on my house has already been paid off. Besides I don’t want to put my money into a mutual fund and get a stable 7% return.
Better that I keep 100% of that and have a lazy schmuck making 14k full time without healthcare and working sporadic hours.
That and I’ll quit my job if i’m not making my full 100 million per year after taxes.[]Inheritance taxation is hard to collect
There are plenty of ways to make various amounts of money
"And as far as Bush’s “blatant lies” – that is your OPINION, that is NOT a “FACT.”lol lol . . . do you really want to revisit the Bush era? Sorry, the idea that Bush-Cheney ‘blantanly lied’ is not ‘opinion’, it is FACT, and historical fact at that. This is done and gone! But just for fun, here’s a sampling of some (of the many) lies from the glory days of Bush-Cheney:Lie: “The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program … Iraq has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons.” — President Bush, Oct. 7, 2002, in Cincinnati.Lie: “The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.” – President Bush, Jan.28, 2003, in the State of the Union address.Lie: “We believe [Saddam] has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons.” – Vice President Cheney on March 16, 2003 on “Meet the Press.” Lie: “[The CIA possesses] solid reporting of senior-level contacts between Iraq and al-Qaeda going back a decade.” — CIA Director George Tenet in a written statement released Oct. 7, 2002 and echoed in that evening’s speech by President Bush. Lie: “We’ve learned that Iraq has trained al-Qaeda members in bomb-making and poisons and deadly gases … Alliance with terrorists could allow the Iraqi regime to attack America without leaving any fingerprints.” — President Bush, Oct. 7 .Lie: “We have also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas. We are concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] for missions targeting the United States.” — President Bush, Oct. 7. Lie: “We have seen intelligence over many months that they have chemical and biological weapons, and that they have dispersed them and that they’re weaponized and that, in one case at least, the command and control arrangements have been established.” — President Bush, Feb. 8, 2003, in a national radio address.MANY more where they came from. Which is why George Bush is NO WHERE to be seen this election cycle.
Update: Mitt “confirms” Jeep will be moving all production to China. I can’t wait to see what else he comes up with, because the list of his lies is already way to long to post here. Just remember 47 % of Americans are lazy, worthless, scum, draining from his investment portfolio.
Just fun to watch. Obama approves the message that giving people “health” insurance against the morals of those paying is being “anti-women” or “anti-choice”. Then they claim letting people keep what they own (a Constitutional right, btw) is “bad”, and should be taxed away.
Our current situation is the result of a Republican controlled congress blocking and dragging their feet for four years, while, from the first minute, chanting “One Term President”. I’ve lost all respect for anyone who claims to be a Republican. You are stupid, and unreliable under pressure. Romney is no brighter than Dubya, and far more crooked. If he is elected, you’ll wish, on those dark lonely nights that Obama had won..And your answer to Reid’s promise to block anything romney proposes? Looks like just insults from the looks of your post.
Obamaphone? Have you got any solid references for this urban myth? I’m inclined to think that anyone who mentions Obamaphones has thereby destroyed his own credibility.
Corporate Welfare has been re-branded as “Free Enterprise” I guess it plays better than “voodoo economics” and lets all the greed-heads and crony “crapitalists” pretend they didn’t get where they are by sucking at the public teat or that their failed ideas didn’t cause a global economic catastrophe 4 years ago. I’ll take 2008-12 over 2000-08 ANY day.
