"Who knows? Maybe I’ll run into George W. there. He would certainly be a sight for sore eyes."

Yeah, the sight of him certainly makes my eyes sore.

Other than the last sentence I really enjoyed this article.... even the other parts about George W..

You lost me at "posted by RightWingExtremist in Religion"

[quote][b]RightWingExtremist[/b] - Lmao, you just told me you are more of a Liberal than anything. Your rhetoric belies your assertions.[/quote]

You're a very difficult person with which to have a discussion....

You informed me that zfacts.com was a Republican leaning website. I gave you some quotes from their "about" pages that showed their opinion, if leaning Republican, also had tones of some from the left (or middle). You call me a closet "liberal" as if that's a bad word to me. If you can call me a liberal it's only because the conservatives have gone so kooky to the right that the spectrum is skewed. I like zfacts because they don't seem to have an agenda.

[quote][b]RightWingExtremist[/b] - Were you aware the link you posted to begin with was a Republican leaning website?

I didn't think so.

It leans both ways, kind of like me.

As an example, from http://zfacts.com/node/141
"At heart, I’m a scientist; that means I’m a skeptic. I don’t trust easy answers especially from politicians. I also don’t trust extremists, either left or right."
and regarding global warming:
"I'm stil a skeptic. Climate science is still unsettled. But we know one thing for sure, there's a 50/50 chance, more or less, that it's going to be bad. That's all we need to know right now. It's idiotic to take that kind of a risk with our only planet and do nothing."
and the debt:
"My next focus is the $12 trillion dollar Republican debt. Blaming that on the Dems or Obama is the biggest political lie of my lifetime."

Okay, that's it... I'm done... At least for tonight.

[quote][b]RightWingExtremist[/b] - @pb: had you read those links in the first place, you would have understood what I meant by "hundreds of trillions."
[/quote]

I glanced at your biased links and quickly lost interest when I saw they were discussing a 75 year time period.

I do still take issue with your statement "Obama has left future generations with hundreds of trillions of unfunded SS and Medicare liabilities".

Even IF your numbers are correct, pinning the blame all on Obama is so ridiculous that it really doesn't merit discussion.

Besides, these comments have strayed pretty far off the topic of the associated article, hence I'll take some initiative and stray away myself from this discussion....

Good day.

[quote][b]RightWingExtremist[/b] - See that little green line? Still goes up under Obama, Bush's barely registers and Clinton's GOES DOWN.[/quote]

Can you say "recession"? A pretty bad one at that? Government revenue usually falls pretty substantially during those things.

Oh, and "hundreds of trillions"?

[quote][b]Xardox[/b] - "But there wasn't anything illegal about it until he lied under oath when asked a question that he probably shouldn't have been asked."
Um, it's called "adultery."
[/quote]

Yeah, good point. They should've fined both Clinton AND Gingrich for their misdemeanors and then got on with America's business.

[quote][b]RightWingExtremist[/b] - As are all liberals like you, you lie through your teeth. Constantly. Obama has left future generations with hundreds of trillions of unfunded SS and Medicare liabilities, not to mention 17 trillion more with Obamacare.[/quote]

I'm not sure how you can say such things as:
1) "liberals like you" - my record over the years has been somewhat moderate, but more liberal in recent years

2) "you lie through your teeth" - how do you know if I even have any teeth?

3) "hundreds of trillions" - where do you get such numbers?

Clinton ruined his legacy with his Monica fling. But there wasn't anything illegal about it until he lied under oath when asked a question that he probably shouldn't have been asked. The American public didn't really care much about it, but the Republicans played politics with it. It was a real waste of time.

As for Barack Obama.... I just don't see what all you righties think that he is doing that's all that bad. He didn't cause this recession. And even before he took office, economists were saying it was going to be a bad one... that the problems weren't easily fixable.... but things ARE getting better now.

As for me... yeah, I'm to the left of things.... but I really didn't have much of a beef with Mr. Bush until he decided to go to war in Iraq... and then he decided that the home front didn't need to sacrifice much to fight the war. He left it to future generations to pay the bills. Then McCain made a particularly poor choice with his VP selection... heck, who ya gonna vote for?

And then Republicans have done nothing the last several years except say everything Obama does is bad, but now it looks like they're nominating a moderate that signed into law the model for Obamacare, but isn't that what they were trying to run against? So, let's change President in mid-stream, er, uh, why?

Okay, bedtime for me now.... but I gave you righties something to chew on overnight.

Happy Easter.

I'm sorry to hear right-wingers have such a negative outlook on things.

[quote][b]quietman[/b] - Any candidate that focuses on anything but our dire economic situation is doing the voters a disservice. All else is secondary to an economy that fosters growth and opportunity.[/quote]

Give me a break.... the President has to deal with a lot more than the economy and so the candidates should also have a wider focus.

Besides, remember, government doesn't create jobs....

Based on all the comments here, Y'all are going to have a real rough time when President Obama gets reelected.

You really think the current GOP candidates are going to unseat him?

On that issue.... how come the GOP can't field a better set of candidates?

The documentary "Tapped" puts bottled water in the proper perspective.

@E.J.: I was pretty skinny as a young adult... then middle age kicked in and I worked my way up to 190-195 or so. Cut out meat except for very, very little once every week or two and I quickly settled into my current weight. Eat mostly whole grains, beans, and vegetables.

I follow their diet guidelines and have never sent them a dime. McDougall, in particular, has everything you need to know for free on his website without paying anything.

OK, I guess teleprompters at CPAC have been around for awhile:
