Why I'm a Democrat

[Wry Catcher]

Question, Wry: How does one address emotions and hyperbole with facts?

Apparently you interpreted my post as "emotion" and "hyperbole", ....

I wonder why.

The Republican Party needs to put country first and that won't happen. Their only policy that has been in effect, and has been affective, is working to make Obama fail. Every idea has been ridiculed and falsely characterized as "Socialism" or worse, and every need all of us seem to be concerned with can be fixed by the one magic bullet held by the conserviatives: Tax Cuts.

....

[Emphasis added] Just for starters.

My post was not "emotional" nor was it "hyperbole", it was and remains an accurate description of the behavior of the Republcan Leadership. If you were not one of the willfully ignorant, I could easily post examples of Boehner and McConnell (as well as legions of RWers on this MB and others) calling Obama a "Socialist", and worse.
The R leadership has not offered anything of substance to mitigate the economic and poitical problems are nations faces today (a direct result of their failed ideology) other than cut taxes, cut spending, cut regulations - two of which got us into the problems we have today, one of which was NOT cutting spending.
Want hyperbole and emotion (as well as hate and fear mongering)? Read the posts of RWers on this message board, listen to Palin, the governor of Arizona, or Limbaugh, Hannity, Gingrich or Joe the phony plumber.
Better yet, watch this and you'll see one in person (or, you could simply look in a mirror):

Of course today the RW and the Republican Party strategy (are they now one and the same?) are calling the President a "Muslim". Hate and fear anyone?

Of course there isn't ANY hyperbole whenever one uses absolutes like only/every/all/etc.

Seriously, you are quite ill, and that's not an ad hominem; rather it's an observation.

I use superlatives for emphasis, and hyperbole has its place but I'm careful not to use absolutes. Carefully read my post and point out the absolutes. My generalizations included specific groups, the set of all RWers is an absolute, but no more so than the set of all left handers.
By the way, how many message boards have banned you?

Well.....if you would stop drinking the kool-Aid you would see that Obama really hasn't created that many jobs. The reason why this is happening is because of Obama's policies, no one wants to hire until they see how the healthcare and the new regulations on businesses are going to be played once they are brought into the light. Good grief.....

Only 61,000 private-sector jobs were created in June and July
RealClearPolitics - Shamelessness and the Stimulus

PS. The vast majority of Americans believe that barry hasn't created that many jobs, they all can't be wingnuts, sonny. I'm thinkin' that anyone to the right of your philosophy would be considered a wingnut.

Let's see how honest you are.

Obama didn't promise to create jobs, and Rightwingers do not support the government creating jobs (unless it's Bush creating the largest Federal beaurocracy in the history of man, the Homeland Security Dept.).

Can you show where Obama promised to create jobs? Or can you only show where Obama promised policies that would save jobs? There is a difference. And the stimulus has saved many jobs, as has the GM bailout.

Healthcare and business regulations have nothing to do with the current loss of jobs. Neither of those have kicked in yet, and the jobs weren't coming back even before the financial reform bill.

The reason is the lack of lending. Bush/Paulson put no mandates in the TARP for Wall Streeters to lend the taxpayer bailout money. So they haven't. They have kept that money for themselves.

"Shovel ready jobs".

Also,

The president-elect says he wants to "create three million new jobs" -- this is a change from a few weeks ago, when he said he wanted the plan to create OR SAVE two million jobs.

He says the "No. 1 goal of my plan ... is to create three million new jobs, more than 80 percent of them in the private sector.”
Prez-Elect Makes New Pitch, Promises on Job Creation -- Including 600,000 New Government Employees - Political Punch

It's obvious to me that he doesn't literally mean create 3 million private sector jobs. No president can create private sector jobs. The private sector has to do that, by definition.

A president can create a favorable business climate that in turn can create 3 million jobs. That is what I believe he meant, but what he has not been able to deliver yet.

And shovel-ready jobs have been created from stimulus money.

Healthcare and business regulations, plus the sunset of the Bush tax cuts are INDEED a reason that businesses are reluctant to hire new employees. You saying they aren't, doesn't make it so.

Healthcare has not kicked in yet.
Business regulations have not taken effect yet.
Bush tax cuts have not ended.

Sorry.

I love it when you morons play "The Democrat Didn't Say What He Said".

"The No. 1 goal of my plan ... is to create three million new jobs, more than 80 percent of them in the private sector.”​

 

[daveman]

"...your refusal to acknowledge them does not mean they're not there."

Looks like I called it. Meanwhile, I have absolutely no confidence that you would acknowledge any solutions I could show have been offered. So why don't you go ahead and claim victory now, because we both know you will no matter what I do. Mmmmkay?

Wry Catcher: consider this a teachable moment. Whenever you want any sort of proof, documentation, links, or intelligent response from Trollman, you will instead get a reply just like this one. It's his M.O. because he can't pull links out of his ass.

You might have a leg to stand on if you could show me ONE post of yours where you acknowledged an argument I made as being valid.

We both know you can't.

Hey, Synth! You didn't even bother looking, did you?

You're obviously taking the "more than 80 percent of them in the private sector" quote out of context, or misreporting or misquoting or maybe Biden said it.

I guess I'm just not nuanced enough to understand.

Losing that media monopoly has put a crimp in what Progressives can get away with.

Yup. Which is why they desperately try to marginalize and silence opposition.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Maybe it's a typo and they meant 8% instead of 80?

Your a moron. Healthcare IS going to kick in, it passed....business regulations ARE going to kick in, they have passed. Bush tax cuts Are going to expire. Businesses see the writing on the wall, and are not going to do much......sorry.

The Republican Party needs to put country first and that won't happen. Their only policy that has been in effect, and has been affective, is working to make Obama fail. Every idea has been ridiculed and falsely characterized as "Socialism" or worse, and every need all of us seem to be concerned with can be fixed by the one magic bullet held by the conserviatives: Tax Cuts.

Serously, how could anyone support a party lead by McConnell and Boehner? Two pols who take their lead from demagogues, Limbaugh and Beck; and populists, like Palin and Gingrich?

While America 'burns', the Republicans 'fiddle'; Becks rally Sunday was the most recent 'tune' ("God is Great"; hey Glen, that's been done. See Iran for how well that worked out).
Past tunes: Obama is a Muslim! He was born in the Africa! He is a Socialist! He is a Marxist! He hates white people! OMG, he played golf!
And all of these tunes are played back over and over by the Loony Tune Players on this message board.

Were you not around for the Bush admin? Exactly the same thing in reverse.

Which is why anyone who supports either of the two major parties should have his head examined.

So, what should be done?

A huge influx of capital, both from the government and private investors in at least three national projects: Rebuilding the electrical grid; building inter and intra urban railroads and canals for the transport of goods, recreation and flood control; and the building of health care centers in each congressional district across America providing preventative medicine and health care education.
Image the possibilities, jobs for decades, less dependence on foreign oil, and a healthier happier citizenry. The opposite of hate and fear, the only other policy the Republican Party seems to have.

I'm a democrat because I have no balls. Was born without a spine (that's why my posts seem like jibberish, "dfgbernbkjernkjnkjbkjfnbvj" because without a spine I tend to flop forward and slam my empty head on the keyboard, giving me many lil' owies that hurt like hell), i'm from Frisco and a Giants fan and, i'm impotent and haven't produced a hard on in many years.....That my friends is why i'm a democrat!
