Jim Morin for April 25, 2012

Quite severe if you ask me…

10 to 1 he gets hung up on the barbed wire.

No you didn’t.You said Obama was a failure from day one.And then, when you “noticed” that he wasn’t the second coming of Christ you demanded that he be crucified.

I concur with NebulousRikulau. Never once did Republicans give him a chance. Right-wing pundits were declaring him a failure almost before he took the oath. But then, compared to what he replaced, he’s a blazing success. And yes, I have my criticisms of him. Has there ever been a president who is above criticism? Under Obama, we’ve added jobs rather than lost them as under Bush. We gave the Republicans a chance – 8 years of a chance – and they drove us into the worst recession since the great Depression.

“Obama had no fences to jump. We gave the guy a chance and he screwed up.”You are proving incapable of basing your comments on fact. That you or your “conservative” cohorts gave Obama any sliver of a chance is an out and out lie. You want Obama to fail to help the nation recover. You hope for it. Your inane and unpatriotic comments reflect it. You are little more than a pathetic hack that puts politics over the needs of the country.

Name ONE instance of a bank that was actually forced to make a bad housing loan.

You can’t…because it didn’t happen. The Fair Housing Practices Act NEVER contained any such provision. The reason the banks continued to make those loans was because there was big bucks in it for them. They would make the loans, bundle them together, and then sell them off to investment banks

And why are you running sockpuppets, ongaurd?

Wile E. Romney, SUPER genius

Cartoonist Pat Bagley has a good one April 24.People repeat lies until they actually believe them.This covers Faux news and name calling.http://www.cagle.com/author/pat-bagley/

Banks make more money off bad loans than they do from low risk loans. I bought a car 2 years after a medical bankruptcy and had to have a 24% interest rate on the loan. The car listed at $9799.99. I traded it in 3 years later, and the total amount I had put into the loan (including the trade-in payoff) was $17,000.00. That is why they continue to loan to high risk borrowers. The real money comes from high interest bad loans and penalties, not good credit scores and low rates.

The party already has a “dead line”, he’ll be shot dead before he can finish that step toward moderation. Mental health would mean the Republicans and “conservatives” would recognize the quote by Paul Joseph Goebbels is quite definitely their party policy. Which, even when folks such as grainbelt do bring it up, folks are usually not aware that Goebbels’ first name was actually Paul. Sometimes the lie is what is NOT said. Which, Paul was born into a devoutly religious home, and just as Adolph was raised Roman Catholic, maybe it is those “devoutly religious” we should fear??

Thanks to you also Grainbelt.

Jim, you’ve drawn Mitt with his sleeves rolled up. Never going to happen

A lot of people don’t really understand what socialism is. Social Security, which guarantees at least a little money so that the elderly don’t starve, is socialism.

The word comes from society, it’s about stuff like pooling our resources to build highways, maintain bridges and that kind of thing. One individual can’t do it. but when people pay taxes then we have a Commonwealth, which is then used to do good things for all of society. It is also National parks, campgrounds and historic places. City Libraries, city swimming pools, city parks are included under socialism. People just hear it used to mean communism, and they think bad about it.Same thing about the word liberal. It comes from the same root as liberty. As in give us liberty or give us deathWhen words are used to mean bad things when in fact they are not bad things, then people start feeling fuzzy about what things really mean..

great links rockengolfer, thanks

and i thought socialism was when we privitize profit and socialize risk, like we did for the bankers. we, the taxpayers, bail them out, they keep the so-called ‘profits’.

tigger: ted and the “nutticans” are the ones with their finger on the trigger if he makes a step further toward “moderate”.

Thank you tig. I have copied and saved that post..and I’m going to have a LOT of fun with it in the future.

There is no proof in the foreclosures Tigger, banks foreclose all the time on loans they made willingly.

No, what I asked for was to be shown a specific examaple of a specifc bank that was forced to make a bad loan by the government. One specific example…you’re so certain of yourself, surely to can come up with ONE measly example.

“You, Sir, just made a threat against the life of a Presidential Candidate You are just liek Ted Nugent”

Then report him to the mods, net-cop boy! ( Please do, they could use a good laugh.)

WHY are you recycling 1930’s-vintage quotes about FDR by Texas Oil Barons?
