The country is being run by "low informed Liberals"

[Billo_Really]

The comment about Iraq was the expense.

You need to explain this in a little more detail, because I don't have a clue as to WTF you're talking about.

The war ended in 2011 as I recall

Then why do we still have 20,000 troops there?

BHO is a socialist, (see GM and the number of laws he ignored to give tax payers welath to the UAW) after GWB loned them 20 biillion

That's not what socialism is.

Funny how you say nothing about Bush's threat of martial law to Congress if they didn't give the financial industry $720 billion to bail them out.

Death panel and a small group of people deciding what your ins covers is different?

I was talking about the "pull the plug on grandma" death panel myth.

If he is not after the "assault weapon" then what is it he is after? Is that a gun?

Regulating high-magazine clips, is not after someone's gun.

States should have more sovereign over there issues than the federal govt. Thats the intent of the fore fathers

If that was true, they would've kept more of the Articles of Confederation.

But they didn't and made the federal government supreme.

Medicare and socialized medicine are the same
who said different?

The guy with the sign I was talking about!

Just how big of an idiot are you not to catch that one?

what does that have to do with a 30 year old male worth 5 million dollars deciding not to buy health ins?

I don't give a flying fuck about 30 year old males with 5 million dollars!

They can go out and suck me up a mansion, for all I care.

The libs voted for the Iraq in 2002, 29-21
with that
what war crimes?

Starting a war of aggression no different than the nazis going into Poland.
Torturing detainees.
Denial of due process of law.
Acting as a "unitary executive".

The CIA has a kill list, he has no choice

The CIA gets its marching orders from the President. If he has the authority to stop renditions, he can tell the CIA "no more kill lists".

Interesting to see you support the killing of Americans without due process of law.

"Like it or not, republicans have to realize the voter is always right"

That is true. And what is today's American vogter looking for? More entitlements. More hand outs. More free shit. They will vote the country into ruin.

That worked so well for Romney, didn't it? That 47%.

Exactly. Telling the truth got him kicked down. This is why we will never have a fiscal conservative in the white house, ans spending will take us down very soon.

 

[Nole]

The spiral is a un informed lie
the conservative is confused as to how GWB (a blue dog democrat in reality) could be treated so bad and yet BHO get such a free pass
Information

you are fooling yourself. Bush II ran and was elected as a compassionate conservative. His actions may not qualify him as such but thats not the point. Like it or not, when each and every American enters that voting booth they will recall the 8 years of Bush II and his failures and lies. Not saying Obama is any better, I am saying Obama has a better track record.

Keep telling yourself that all Democrats are low information voters because it seems to be keeping the GOP happy while the Democrats win elections.

Yes it is a Rush L "phrase" except he uses the term voter

For some time I have pointed out all of the wrong legislation that the admin and the senate has put forth, especially when the Dems had it all in 09-2010

There comes a time in which the personal runs the agenda and not what is best for the country.
How we can we go from spending 2.7 trillion to 3.8 trillion in 6 years and claim we do not have a spending problem?
We spent 80 billion on bailing out the UAW @ GM. Now we claim that same in cuts will destroy this nation?
The lack of leadership is astounding at the white house

Gun Control?
That is a state issue. The federal govt has spoken on guns in the 1700s
Gay rights?
This is a state issue, not a federal issiue
How can we with a straight face mandate how Texas deals with illegal aliens from the very liberal NE?
Taxes
Budgets
Drill baby Drill (jobs)

The low information liberal has no idea what the problem is, how our constitution works and how we can continue to allow BHO and the liberal senate continue to be allowed a free pass on such a failed agenda?
The low information voter

It is that simple and Rush L is not the only person whose known this for some time. Reelecting liberals to congress and the white house just confirms this

Not having a budget for 4 years is an absolute failure, a failure that GWB never had

Having trillion dollar deficits is an absolute failure, in 2007 that number was 162 billion
the last GOP budget

4 million jobs short of 08 levels is an absolute failure
We created 8 million till then from 9-11
Private Jobs Down 4.6 Million From January 2008; Federal Jobs Up 11.4%

Don’t believe it. The tax cuts enacted by the U.S. Congress in 2003 were an important cause of an economic expansion that roared for some 50 months and created 8.1 million jobs. The opposite philosophy—a stimulus that has crowded out private investment, plus an enormous health bill and a nightmarish financial regulatory package that are killing job creation—has only delayed recovery and left us with 9.1% unemployment.

Yes lets talk about low Info and Uneducated people!

New Jersey boasts the highest percentage of passport holders (68%); Delaware (67%), Alaska (65%), Massachusetts (63%), New York (62%), and California (60%) are close behind.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, less than one in five residents of Mississippi are passport holders, and just one in four residents of West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama and Arkansas.

The low informed lib is running this country and it is failing

The term Low Inforamtion voters was coined in 1991 by Linguist George Lakoff who wrote that the term is a pejorative mainly used by American liberals to refer to people who vote conservative against their own interests, and assumes they do it because they lack sufficient information. Liberals, he said, attribute the problem in part to deliberate Republican efforts at misinforming voters

Let's talk about the ten worst states for taxes and who's running them. Let's talk about the plight and poverty in the the 10 worst cities and who's running them. Keeping the people enslaved and dependent are guaranteed votes.

Really who pays for the Low information states?

Take a look at the difference between federal spending on any given state and the federal taxes received from that state. We measure the difference as a dollar amount: Federal Spending per Dollar of Federal Taxes. A figure of $1.00 means that particular state received as much as it paid in to the federal government. Anything over a dollar means the state received more than it paid; anything less than $1.00 means the state paid more in taxes than it received in services. The higher the figure, the more a given state is a welfare queen.

Of the twenty worst states, 16 are either Republican dominated or conservative states. Let's go through the top twenty.

New Mexico: $2.03
Mississippi: $2.02
Alaska: $1.84
Louisiana: $1.78
West Virginia: $1.76
North Dakota: $1.68
Alabama: $1.66
South Dakota: $1.53
Kentucky: $1.51

Arkansas: $1.41
Oklahoma: $1.36
South Carolina: $1.35
Missouri: $1.32
Maryland: $1.30
Tennessee: $1.27
Idaho: $1.21
Does anyone else notice the overwhelming presence of northern "rugged individualist" states, like Alaska, the Dakotas and Montana, along with most of the South? Why it's almost like there's a pattern here or something.

Where can we find liberal bastions California, New York, and Massachusetts? California is 43rd, getting back only $0.78 for every dollar it sends to Washington. New York is 42nd, and one penny better off, at $0.79 per dollar. Massachusetts is 40th, receiving $0.82 for every dollar it sends to DC.
The next time some smarmy teabagger tries to tell you it's liberals who are ruining the country and spending us into oblivion, kindly point them to the evidence that shows it is GOP states, not Democrat states, who are Welfare Queens. It is GOP states who spend more than they collect in taxes.

You do not really want to know the answer do you?
The federal govt spent 2.7 trillion dollars in 2007 with the GOP running congress and he white house
The federal govt spent 3.5 trillion in 2009 with the Obam admin adding 500 billion to the base-line and the Libs adding the rest from congress

Your information means nothing except this
you are a low informed liberal
BTW Exxon is not based in North Dakota
Are you really being serious here?
How many corporations’ are based in California?
How many in Alaska?

As usual that is blatant miss representation of the facts
That said, Uncle Sam gets his money in other ways. Including sales taxes and duties, Exxon recorded $7.7 billion in U.S. tax costs last year, and paid even more overseas.

http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2010/news/1004/gallery.top_5_tax_bills/2.html
Buried in the story we also find that "In addition to making hefty profits, Exxon also had a hefty tax bill. Worldwide, the company paid $10.5 billion in income taxes in the second quarter, $9.5 billion in sales taxes, and over $12 billion in what it called 'other taxes.'"




MP: In other words, Exxon Mobil paid (or at least collected) $32.361 billion in taxes in the second quarter, which works out to $4,114 in taxes per second. Another way to look at it - Exxon paid (or collected) almost $3 in taxes ($32.361 billion) for every $1 in profits ($11.68 billion), see chart above.

http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml
But is there any real reason to believe that? Sure, GE has an army of accountants and lobbyists trying to reduce its tax burden, but wouldn't you if you had $150 billion in worldwide revenue and $14.2 billion in pretax income last year?

To see if GE was an aberration, we took a look at the 2010 annual reports of the 20 most profitable U.S. companies. Some of the results may surprise you. The average income tax rate within the group was 25.4%. America's three biggest oil companies, ExxonMobil ( XOM - news - people ), Chevron ( CVX - news - people ) and ConocoPhillips ( COP - news - people ), all endure income tax burdens of more than 40%--higher than the statutory U.S. rate of 35%. Exxon, with a 45% rate, tallied $21.6 billion in worldwide income taxes for 2010. Wal-Mart Stores ( WMT - news - people ) paid $7.1 billion (at a rate of 32.4%) in income taxes.

In Detail: What The Top 20 U.S. Companies Pay In Taxes



All these tax burdens are higher than the average citizen pays. So where does General Electric ( GE - news - people ) stand? Contrary to what many in the public seem to think, the conglomerate did pay taxes in 2010. It reported $2.7 billion in cash tax payments during the year, and on its income statement lists a provision for income taxes of $1.05 billion. Considering GE's pretax income of $14.2 billion, that makes for a tax rate of just 7.4%. The only one of the 20 corporate giants with a lower rate was AT&T ( T - news - people ), at -6.4%--but that was only because MaBell won a tax settlement with the IRS that reduced its tax liability by $8.3 billion.

Really who pays for the Low information states?

Take a look at the difference between federal spending on any given state and the federal taxes received from that state. We measure the difference as a dollar amount: Federal Spending per Dollar of Federal Taxes. A figure of $1.00 means that particular state received as much as it paid in to the federal government. Anything over a dollar means the state received more than it paid; anything less than $1.00 means the state paid more in taxes than it received in services. The higher the figure, the more a given state is a welfare queen.

Of the twenty worst states, 16 are either Republican dominated or conservative states. Let's go through the top twenty.

New Mexico: $2.03
Mississippi: $2.02
Alaska: $1.84
Louisiana: $1.78
West Virginia: $1.76
North Dakota: $1.68
Alabama: $1.66
South Dakota: $1.53
Kentucky: $1.51
Virginia: $1.51
Montana: $1.47
Hawaii: $1.44
Maine: $1.41
Arkansas: $1.41
Oklahoma: $1.36
South Carolina: $1.35
Missouri: $1.32
Maryland: $1.30
Tennessee: $1.27
Idaho: $1.21
Does anyone else notice the overwhelming presence of northern "rugged individualist" states, like Alaska, the Dakotas and Montana, along with most of the South? Why it's almost like there's a pattern here or something.

Where can we find liberal bastions California, New York, and Massachusetts? California is 43rd, getting back only $0.78 for every dollar it sends to Washington. New York is 42nd, and one penny better off, at $0.79 per dollar. Massachusetts is 40th, receiving $0.82 for every dollar it sends to DC.
The next time some smarmy teabagger tries to tell you it's liberals who are ruining the country and spending us into oblivion, kindly point them to the evidence that shows it is GOP states, not Democrat states, who are Welfare Queens. It is GOP states who spend more than they collect in taxes.




Red States Are Welfare Queens - Business Insider

States do not pay Federal income tax.
People who live in the States pay Federal taxes.
State taxes and Federal taxes are two different taxes and are separate from each other.

And the People who live in that state are supporting the freeloaders who live in red states

And who do we have to thank for that ideology?
Progressive liberals who support and pass the programs, that force all of us to support the freeloaders.
So you are complaining that Repubs get more of the Feds dollars per state than the Dems do?
So then, that means Repubs play the forced freeloaders game better than the Liberal Dems do.
