    I’ve been over there voting no on all the wingnut idea. Voted yes on buying out older state workers and on getting rid of double dipping.

    Limiting the suggestions to cutting the budget instead of raising revenue smells like wingnut spirit.

    Probably, but whoever uses it just gets filtered to spam right away.

    @3
    Users can submit what they want, so the “wingnut spirit” will have to compete in a free market of ideas. :)

    The British government tried to set up a similar website recently, I think it was yesterday they announced they had to take it down because it was being flooded with rather hateful, racist suggestions about minorities which were making Goebbels look good in comparison.

    The New GM……..Government Motors) Proudly Introduces

    The 2011 Obammer

    This car runs on hot air, bull-shit and broken promises.

    It has three wheels that speed the vehicle through tight left turns.

    It comes complete with two Tele Prompters programmed to help the occupants talk their way out of any violations.

    The transparent canopy reveals the plastic smiles still on the faces of all the happy owners.

    Comes in S, M, L, XL and 2XL

    It won’t get you to work, but hey, there aren’t any jobs anyway!

    I’m sure you KLOWNS will be lining up to buy one.
    Oops, most of you have no money.
    That’s ok..ObaMao will giv

    you one for FREE!
    Just add it to the $13.2 TRILLION National Debt.
    Make your kids & grandkids pay for it.
    Right?

    And to you BIG GOVERNMENT Leftists–
    Seems like you are in the vast minority…as is your flailing “misleader”

    Friday, July 23, 2010

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -17.

    Voters overwhelmingly believe that there is currently too much regulation of small businesses but are evenly divided about whether big business needs more or less regulation. Overall, 69% say that when it comes to helping the economy and creating jobs, more competition and less government regulation is better than increased regulation and less competition. Voters are evenly divided over a one-year moratorium on new government regulations.

    When are you KLOWNS going to demand that Charlie Rangel…head of House Ways & Means responsible for tax laws RESIGNS??

    http://www.foxnews.com/politic.....latestnews

    What a slimeball.
    With his position, easily the #1 crookedest House member!

    The KLOWN’s real issue with Rep. Rangel? He’s black.

    5. Mr. Cynical spews:
    Barack Obama got out of the shower and was drying off
    when he looked in the mirror and noticed he was white from the neck up to
    the top of his head.
    In sheer panic and fearing he was turning white and might have to start
    working for a living
    , he called his doctor and told him of his problem.
    The doctor advised him to come to his office immediately. After an
    examination, the doctor mixed a concoction of brown liquid, gave it to
    Barack, and told him to drink it all.
    Barack drank the concoction and replied, ‘That tasted like bullshit!’
    The doctor replied, ‘It was, you were a quart low.’

    He fits the stereotypical crooked politician to a T.

    How pathetic is our state government that they have to resort to childish tactics like this.

    It would be more laughable if it didnt invlolve the hard earned money (most of) us make.

    Given the sorry state of GOP finances, the disarray at the RNC that takes out their most potent coordinating apparatus, the RNC’s subsequently deteriorating and out-of-date Voter Vault database program, and the ever-wingnuttier candidate statements (look at usually close-mouthed Dino Rossi, for example) driving away moderate independent voters, I would not be surpised if November 2010 is much worse for the GOP than they think it will be.

    Another question for Dino Rossi…

    Michele Bachmann thinks that if the GOP wins back the House, it should spend all of its time issuing subpoenas and investigating the president. Seriously. Nothing but issuing subpoenas.

    “Oh, I think that’s all we should do,” Bachmann said. “I think that all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another…”

    Dino, do you think that is the way that the Republican Party should serve the people’s interest during the worst recession in most people’s living memory? Well, DO ya?

    14: If we get the young people involved again, to the same level they were in 2006 and 2008, it will indeed be an impressive victory for Democrats. The Republicans won’t even see it coming, because their polls exclude those who don’t have a land line in their home. I don’t know anyone under thirty who has a home land line these days (which makes Frontier Communication’s acquisition of Verizon’s residential land-line business so puzzling).

    @14 “Given the sorry state of GOP finances, the disarray at the RNC that takes out their most potent coordinating apparatus, the RNC’s subsequently deteriorating and out-of-date Voter Vault database program, and the ever-wingnuttier candidate statements”

    So utterly incompetent! And to think that they’d have the voters hand the government back over to them, and with $arah Palin as our Fearless Leader, no less. Too much.

    Legalizing marijuana is now winning by 75. This means that the Governor’s office will now convince themselves the vote was rigged and ignore the poll altogether…

    Ask for your ideas and opinions, and then completely ignore them. THat is what will happen. What happened with the ideas people proposed last year? Nothing. The way the legislature works, there are two people that matter Chopp and Brown. What they can count on is the majority of other reps will vote with them.

    This is the most disappointing set of democrats ever. They suck. They suck almost as much as the republicans. They suck because they are republican lite.

    1.)

    Drug testing for welfare and gov’t cheese cutting/reform would be a good start!

    2.)

    Next, a Governor and legislators that understand, grasp, practice, and embrace the concept of fiscal restraint and budget prioritization.

    3.)

    No more arrogantly dismissing the will of the voters by “temporarily” overturning voter passed initiatives. We will remember and soon it’ll be payback time assholes.

    4.)

    Tax all the yuppie overpriced “gourmet” coffee.

    Enjoy the sun all, and have another toke Lee, the world is a big bad scary place and all….
