KevinG Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yeah, that one. I don't know what it is but the rebuttals of the STOU since Obama have been really f'ing weird To Jindal's channeling of Kenneth Parcell from 30 rock, Ted Cruz Marco Rubio and his amazing thirst, to Michelle Bachmann's crazy eyes. It used to be to highlight the up and comers and now it seems lets put the craziest person we can. The GOP is such a stupid party. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ih8music Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I flipped over to MSNBC last night in time to hear someone talk excitedly about how Obama is back in his 2008 form and just generally gushing praise upon praise about the speech. It was more than even this libturd could handle so I had to change over to Fox, which was conveniently re-airing the speech in its entirety. I'd estimate that I caught the middle 2/3rds of the speech -- before I apparently was so enthralled with it that I fell asleep. I did wake to one of Fox's talking heads calling the speech a disappointment and boring, so there's that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KevinG Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I make no bones about being a progressive and my progressive tendencies. I also make no bones about my dislike and distrust of the GOP and their false outrage and hypocracy. So ran across this piece on Maddow's blog. About the official GOP rebuttal to the STOU. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/bette-spokane. It points out the ACA horror story used in the GOP rebuttal, was proven to be false with little fact checking. The right have gotten in their mind that ACA is so bad they will run with any story from anyone who says it is bad. Really don't you think you should actually fact check stories before you give them out as truth? Oh and I wonder when Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal will say that this MSNBC staffer's First Amendment Rights were violated and should get his job back. http://www.politico.com/story/2014/01/reince-priebus-rnc-msnbc-cheerios-super-bowl-102867.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here in Texas, there are four Republican candidates for Lieutenant Governor (arguably equally as important, if not more so, than the governor). They recently had a debate. All four expressed their desire to have creationism taught in school (which is both stupid and unconstitutional). Also, all four expressed their disdain for a recent court ruling where a judge allowed a man to take his brain-dead wife off of life support. The only reason she was still on it was because she was pregnant, and there was a recent law passed that stated a pregnant woman could not be taken off of it; ignoring the fact that the fetus was not healthy and it was unlikely it would have survived. Of course, since it's been 20 years since a Democrat last won a statewide election here, this is probably what we're stuck with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bleedorange Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 so wendy davis doesn't have a chance?? She's running for governor. But she has very little chance, if any. She's consistently 10-15 points behind in polls, with the exception of the occasional outlier that sees her pull within 6-8. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm fighting for Wendy. First time I've ever given any significant amount of money to a politician. I really hope a science teacher tries to teach creationism to my agnostic 14 year old stepson someday. I will sell tickets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yeah Bill O'Reilly, lets just ask PBO about the same right wing conspiracy theories, rather than anything of substance. Also I am glad the liberal media decided to have someone so even handed interview the president. I am sure if Rachel maddow interviews the pres, no one would complain.

Atticus Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I am in Texas, my employer contribution stayed the same. My plan went up $75/month In addition to paying $900 more in premiums for what was allegedly the same plan, I've now learned that my carrier has decided not to fully cover allergy shots anymore, so that's another $312 I'm out this year. So the insurance changes are costing me a minimum of $1,212 in 2014. awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
