    @3 Darryl, the individual posting @2 obviously is crying out for help. Deep down, he knows Democrats have made enormous contributions to the well-being of all Americans. He’s just too stupid to remember them, that’s all. So, I’m going to help him out. It’s time to post “Joe Republican” again.

    “Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican
    A TvNewsLIES Reader contribution.
    By John Gray Cincinnati, Ohio

    Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised.

    All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance, now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe’s bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

    Joe takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; His bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

    Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medicals benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe’s employer pays these standards because Joe’s employer doesn’t want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he’ll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn’t think he should loose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

    Its noon time, Joe needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe’s deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe’s money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the depression.

    Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage and his below market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his life-time.

    Joe is home from work, he plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to dads; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration because bankers didn’t want to make rural loans. The house didn’t have electric until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn’t belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republican’s would still be sitting in the dark)

    He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn’t have to. After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home.

    He turns on a radio talk show, the host’s keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. (He doesn’t tell Joe that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day) Joe agrees, “We don’t need those big government liberals ruining our lives; after all, I’m a self made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have”.”

    Troll, I hope this helps. Yours, =:-D<

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 31% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-nine percent (39%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -8.

    Fifty-eight percent (58%) of liberals Strongly Approve while 66% of conservatives Strongly Disapprove.

    Forty-two percent (42%) say the President is doing a good or an excellent job on economic matters. Forty-three percent (43%) say he’s doing a poor job in that area.

    The more Americans get to know Obama, the more they dislike him. Thanks to the MSM, we elected a Socialist!

    The Index was at -10 a few days ago.

    Gee, it looks like Obama’s becoming MORE popular (at least according to your favorite measure), not less!

    SPeaking of health care (and who isn’t?), some results from Pew Research:

    Here are some representative recent data from the Pew Research Center: by 79-15, the public supports “Requiring insurance companies to sell health coverage to people, even if they have pre-existing medical conditions”; by 65-29, they support “Requiring that all Americans have health insurance, with the government providing financial help for those who can’t afford it”; by 63-32, they support “Raising taxes on families with incomes of more than $350,000 and individuals earning more than $280,000”; by 61-33, they support “Requiring employers to pay into a government health care fund if they do not provide health insurance to their employees”; and by 52-37, they support “A government health insurance plan to compete with private health insurance plans.”

    Love Daddy! Come home! Baby needs shoes and we need to finish our rumble about propagandist common books and activists playing in the parks. And about Clinton’s Great Manic Recession of March 2000.

    The Rasmussen Poll will also show that 85% of Montana conservatives know that Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya.

    Ahhh…the image of vast herds of sheep fleeing in horror from Cynical.

    Somebody please reassure them….he can’t get it up anyway.

    He can only use an artificial POLL….

    Has anybody here seen Goldstein’s birth cert, @10? Isn’t it — convenient — that he sneaks out of town (to the Jersey shore and to take the waters at the Hamptons … what a likely effing story that is) while his drug-addled minions back here in Seattle try to cover up the coverup?

    And what about ewe and your nervous sheep? It’s “people” like you that made real men like me get out of Montana. And that was even before the Brokeback sheepherders came to town to do a two-dog nite in a one-pup tent.

    Anybody surprised here that we’ve got Ronnie Ruminants gnawing the corpse? Ragin’ Reagan haters are as batshit as truthers and birthers:

    Because Ronald Reagan and his political philosophy carried out by all the “Reagan Republicans” is precisely the reason for the all the major problems this nation faces today. At the time, his views were new and seemed to make sense to people. We tried it for nearly 30 years. It failed. And, it cost America over 30 Trillion dollars experimenting with Reaganism. Lesson learned. Just in case you missed your short bus to cluetown America is never, EVER going to implement Reaganism again. Reagan’s LOWEST/HIGHEST public approval was in foreign affairs coming in at a dismal 46%. That might have had something to do with his criminality and dishonesty: “Gee whiz! I know it was illegal, but it didn’t feel illegal….” Ronald ‘Dipshit’ Reagan Who gives a crap about Reagan – his revolution failed, he created the largest budget deficits in history and he was basically senile during his last term and could not even remember the illegal stuff he approved for Iran-contra – you know, bribing the Iranians with drug money.

    Just to start to set the record straight, here’s Democrats for Dummies via paleo-Marxist Lance Selfa:

    That Carter would win the Peace Prize after he left the presidency conveniently overlooks the fact that he helped bring the world closer to war when he was president. … reinstituted the military draft in 1979 … increased the military budget at a rate of 4 percent above inflation annually … launched the Pentagon buildup … establishing plans for fighting a “limited” nuclear war, including a first-strike policy … unconditional support for the shah … toasted the shah as “an enlightened monarch who enjoys his peoples’ total confidence” … Another Carter favorite was Romanian dictator Nicolai Ceausescu … No thought of justice for the Palestinians entered into Carter’s considerations. …Brzezinski admitted the Carter administration had armed Afghan insurgents to provoke a Soviet invasion. In other words the New Cold War whipped up in 1979-1980 was based on a lie … justified a new policy of direct U.S. intervention in the Persian Gulf … In the years since he left the White House, Carter has constructed a public persona calculated to airbrush his disastrous presidency from history. … helped to rekindle the Cold War and to lay the groundwork for future U.S. wars in the Middle East.

    And, unless you’re Zinnophobic like most normal Americans, here’s this from Zinn:

    Under Carter, the United States continued to support, all over the world, regimes that engaged in imprisonment of dissenters, torture, and mass murder … bordering on genocide.

    All that doesn’t even touch on the economic quagmire Carter gave to Reagan, and that Reagan repaired. Double-digit unemployment, double-digit interest rates, double-digit inflation, and double-digit misery. That’s the mess you Democrats left for Republicans to clean up.

    But let’s Give Peanut Jimmy credit for having the small bit of brain power to start the modern era of deregulation. Maybe GBS needs to stick that in his White and Strunk it.

    as batshit as truthers and birthers:

    and the HNCF…

    (i.e. the Hating Name-Calling Fiend).

    the modern era of deregulation.

    Heh. Case closed..

    HEY! He’s one of Cynical’s and my buds. He’s a true classy conservative. And he’s got refined taste in ewes.
    AND rams. (Though that’s more Cynical’s venue, what with his problem and all…..)

    Was that you I saw out by Two Dot, doing unnatural acts with bleating barnyard animals under the Big Sky?

    Stay tuned, boys & girls, for more bad trippin’ down Democrat lane. Since y’all can’t read — but hey! that’s why you’re Democrats and that’s why Democrats in D.C. don’t read the bill — HNCF will just have to read your sordid history to you.

    Two weeks ago at 3 in the A.M. John Gibson (Fox & KVI) was going on and on about ‘Skip’ Gates and about Obama stupidly profiling the Cambridge police.

    Last week at 3 A.M. John Gibson ws going on & on about stupid Obama, neo-racist Gates, and the Cambridge police.

    Yesterday the Jayson Blair Times Op-Ed was almost wall-to-wall Skip Gates/police brutality, but John Gibson had MovedOn. To the batshit birthers. Gibson minced no words about how destructive birther batshittery is.

    Refresh my memory: Was there anyone here at batshit HA or the deservedly dead P-I or the loon-left Jayson Blair Times who took time to tell the truth about truther lies? To say how dangerously destructively insane the lying liars of the left always are?

    Didn’t think so. You all were too busy spinning lies.
