No matter HOW they spin, bend, or twist the words, bottom line is that we STILL get screwed!

The only fiscal position lately is the one where the middle class bends over and…

Is Obama supposed to be meditating or is he just asleep at the switch (again)?

Once again we see images of legislators doing what they have learned to do best. Take care of themselves and their interests.
Yoga is an excellent way to improve flexibility and improve one’s health, especially as one ages.
But the way the above personalities have behaved as elected officials might make one ambivalent about their longevity if it means they will be able to stay in office and keep things from happening that much longer.
We need leaders with open minds, open hearts, and the ability to think beyond the next election cycle to what our nation might be in 10, 20, or even 50 years. The foundation for a home that lasts the years is built in the first few days, and these folks don’t have any idea how to prepare the ground, much less lay a foundation.
Still, GC shows there are many people who are intelligent and/or passionate about our nation, even some of those who don’t live in our nation. If folks like you vote, write to your legislators, we actually might make them think about their voters instead of just their donors.
Happy New Year Neighbors,
I look forward to our debates through 2013.
Respectfully,
and Gratefully,
C.
Happy New Year.

Obama isn’t in the middle. He’s way over there by the “taxes.” And what spending cuts?

With this Congress and the current crop of politicians in the Supreme Circus created environment where money is speech we are “attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis.”

Is your mental ability level really so stunted that you can’t follow the ‘toon? Or is your partisan hatred level so high that you can’t see anything in anyway but President Obama is at fault?

Per the toon it seems our President has found his center in the topsy turvy government rat race trap.
And your still tagging along with the faux noise black hole bus crew, is that exhaust soot on your lips?
Youve been sucking the tailpipe again we see!

No, he’s just an idiot, willing to vote against his own best interests. I’m betting he gets food stamps along with his SSI.

Go “666” (… but, I stutter) yourself on something real… and important.

-I suspect skin tone is coloring skip’s attitude; even one cent spent is way too much.
