The Day in 100 Seconds: Soul Mates

[cArNiVal015]

haha what was that last thing? so random

[jakehr3]

You can't translate one situation, e.g. public schools vs. private schools, and translate that to another issue (UltraSWG). You also can't distract yourself from the issue with one quote that is unrelated to the issue (sniper6081 & terrence0258). You are also offering any real solution by being sarcastic about the issue (terrence0258 & PatricksTime). FInally, you can't use hyperbole to win your argument or offer solutions (PatricksTime). So, anybody have real solutions?

[UltraSWG]

Do public schools have HUGE advantages over private schools?

No.

Then why do parents still send their kids to public schools?

Why do adults go to community colleges? Why do they go to State colleges? Why doesn't everyone go to Harvard, Yale, Stanford, or Princeton?

The public option worked for education and it will also work for health care.

[sniper6081]

"The lobbiests will end up winning the day?"

They've already won Obama.  That's all you hired for your cabinet are special interests, but you already know that. You're just hoping no one else does.

[terrence0258]

In America you're innocent until proven guilty. Name the lobbiest and people working for interest groups in Obama's cabinet and he will be convicted in the court of public opinion. Until then STFU!!!!!!

[sniper6081]

Mark Patterson, former advocate of Goldman Sachs, is chief of staff for the Treasury Department. Wlliam Lynn, former Raytheon lobbyist, is now deputy defense secretary. Patrick Gaspard, lobbyist for Service Employees International Union, now White House political affairs director. Cecilia Munoz, lobbyist for National Council of La Raza, now White House director of intergovernmental affairs, etc. etc. Eat that motherfucker.

[taoofmichael]

I've got no problem with a lobbyist for the Service Employee International Union, now being the Whitehouse political affairs director. And whats wrong with La Raza?

Now Goldman Sacs is along the lines of Saruman, breeding evil minions of child-eating automatons under his ivory tower. And Raytheon is Satanic, by definition.

Nobody from Goldman Sacs, or Raytheon should be in government. Obama needs to get rid of this vermin.

[sniper6081]

There's plenty more where that came from. At least you now know what's going on. If you want to learn about the other lobbyists in Obama's cabinet look type in "Obama's cabinet lobbyists" into Google. Stay vigilant.

[SevenSixTwoNato]

What's wrong with La Raza?

Well, for starters, they're comprised of outspoken Hispanic supremacists, who condone or marginalize the murder or intimidation of whites.

What's more, they advocate the cession of California and much of the rest of the Southwest back to Mexico.

Want more? Need only give them a quick Google search.

"GET OUT WHITES, THIS IS ARE (sic) LAND!"

[taoofmichael]

Condone murder? Nah.

I think you are a paranoid white supremacist, who wants to deny your soiled history. Thats what I think.

[PatricksTime]

obama is the best president ever!!! free health care for everyone...sounds great...and he is going to stop global warming, i mean climate change! how cool...

he should be president for ever! we should clone obama when he dies...does the obama die?

[terrence0258]

You are right Patrick. This is America, we don't deserve free health care, we are capitalist and in our capitalist system everything has a price, including a human life.

[lamouchemorte]

Those Fox friends pricks really get on my nerves.

[justsumdude899]

Huge advantages over private sector..... hmmm, sounds like it WILL work.

[Karlfalcon]

Gawd damn. I am really starting to hate Faux Nooz.

[canadianroot]

what exactly does "yuge" mean?

[MooseOfReason]

Why does Walmart support the public plan?

[muhammadsattaur]

bec. they have thousands of employees that they have to give healthcare ... so public healthcare means they spend less. = more profit

[PatricksTime]

because your new doctor will soon be working at Walmart. Get in line!

[zndprophet]

I would love to-if they made real cars instead of go-carts.

[j0hnwi11iams]

Fucking Health Insurance companies are all for the free market except when they actually have to compete in it.

[byc2j]

Universal healthcare for all US citizens! Thats what we want! Thats what we'll get! We the people! God bless the USA!

[zndprophet]

Maybe instead of trying to buy a brand new Kia on credit-buy an old Honda or Toyota. Then taxes may not hurt you so bad.

[carrierexchange]

What a fucktard

[taoofmichael]

I was surprised as you, when I saw that you wrote 500 whole characters of pretty much common sense.

[taoofmichael]

I agree justone.

[taoofmichael]

But with a progressive tax code, people who really need all their money to get by, wont be burdened.

If it cost you, say, $150 a month, would you consider it worth it, to fix EVERY OLD MAN'S HIP IN AMERICA, and your own too, when you get to be an old man? I think that would be a worthy contribution to the well-being of my fellow Americans. And cost effective too.

[AtheistOnTheEdge]

I think Obama is responding to the criticism he was copping for not getting tough on the defeated Republicans who are doing not much more than wallowing in self pity and trying to get sympathy from the circle of victors surrounding them.

[taoofmichael]

Yeah. These white male Christians cry "victim" quicker than the laziest crack whore ever did.

[taoofmichael]

Obama has, and will continue to stand up for the rights of the small family farmer, the organic farmer, and any farmer who isnt a huge factory polluter, gaming the subsidies system (a much bigger welfare problem than individuals.)

Who is abusing a starving mob? You lost me there. Powerful image. But does it mean anything?

[Uwiluz60]

Haven't liked the change so far...Except keeping our nose out of Irans business...Is there really a free lunch?

[clinds]

To be honest, close races will always be disputed: Bush (2000), Gregoire (WA governor race 2004), and now Franken (2008), plus many others I'm sure that have happened prior.

[georgezimmer]

...it's like a fish?

[WKaliberr]

a chimp? that guy will lose his job at Fox by the end of the week

[SabuPtolemy]

No, he'll get a raise - if anything.

[junkforkaryn]

i believe there was some fancy editing on TPM's part--they were talking about the gloved one's chimp and ferris wheel.

[EmperorAtahualpa]

That was indeed fancy editing by TPM. The guy was actually talking about Michael Jackson.

[iamafractal]

man faux can never tell the truth. the franken recount was the most fair, honest, open i have ever witnessed. administrators, and judges, made up of republicans democrats and independents all unanimously sided with franken. honestly, how can it possibly be more clear cut? I love how faux just likes to plant the seed of doubt with its brainwashed listeners without actually offering a shred of evidence to support their lies anyway.

[bkarwin]

Agreed. The fact is that the Franken-Coleman vote must be the most closely scrutinized -- by both parties -- in recent history. There is no question remaining as to the outcome.

[PharaohNineD]

If these shitheads hate the government so much why do they work for it? Oh yeah I forgot, they get free health care.

[tycho556]

...a chimp?

[RoseSkye]

It was a joke.. just because your president is a nigger you dems get your panties in a bunch everytime someone jokes about jungle bunnies.

... oh shit.. was my microphone on?

[zndprophet]

Go back to the trailer park, you piece of trash.

[RoseSkye]

I was just making fun of troll GOP'ers that posts here. I didn't mean that stuff.

[zndprophet]

damn...could have fooled me. lol

[RoseSkye]

That was my intention ;).

[zndprophet]

I know-what is it with republicans always complaining about government and "washington" while they work for the government-in washington?

No wonder they screw stuff up so much-they're making sure we remember that "government doesn't work".

[RoseSkye]

They're not complaining about government.. they're bitching that they're not in power.. from day one they've been bitching about government.

[taoofmichael]

Yeah. I say send all the "small government" assholes to Somalia. Its a "small government" advocate's wet dream over there.

[zndprophet]

Exactly.

Or Mexico-where the rich live as good as they do anywhere while the poor live in.......boxes.

[SquallCloud]

On what planet did Norm Coleman win, Fox News. You try to give them the benefit of the doubt and then...

[glaked23]

What it said was initially on the first count Coleman one by like 300 votes however under law a recount was performed and after the recount Franken was declared the winner.

[SquallCloud]

Okay I mistyped but the "that some considered suspicious" is just embarrassing and the epitome of ungracious.

I think 8 months and a unanimous decision knocks back some of the suspicion.

[Richardgwm]

Um . . . Under no possible interpretation of the facts did Coleman win.

[Cheshirecatmeow1]

It's definitely worse that Sanford calls his mistress his "soul mate," than if he had just had sex with her.

[HugeHeroesFan]

I could use some health insurence.

[voyeurdug]

Sanford needs psychiatric care. He's clearly *gone*.

[KataVideo]

he ought to be on suicide watch

[SquallCloud]

You may have a point but I think largely it's just boondoggery to get people to feel sorry for him as opposed to call him on his bullshit,

[KataVideo]

yeah, he may just be a big ol' redneck drama queen. but he's using apocalyptic language like "when I die" and "at the end of the end", as if the "end of the day" were about to arrive. I'm waiting for him to pull a budd dwyer.

[sirdaveysockrocker]

because it wont work...GOD i love it when the news talks to people like newt gingrich, who have no standing other than his fat mouth.

[aaronhallam61]

"soul mate" = "hot chick who will have sex with me"

[TAz69x]

...and not rat me out =P

[SabuPtolemy]

Yep, he sure put a little soul in her hole.

[HugeHeroesFan]

That's what it means these days.

[jtuberosi]

bizarro

[SabuPtolemy]

Twatchen Carlson........ Steve Douchey..... Brian Killme...... Mark 'Call me King David' Sinford...... Oldt Gingrich.......... John McCain't........

Welcome to the GOP freak circus!

[mike50333]

You forgot Sarah "Pain in my -"

[cagedtigersteve]

Coleman never won.

[snakefilm]

Those lobbyists are going down cupcakes!!! Healthcare reform is on the way!!!

[TedinLasVegas]

Great! Now the poor, fat and elderly can all die under the commandment of government!

yippeee....

[BigPurple121]

Sandford = big pussy

[k166a]

I hope they can ram the public option through...

[oldtownkid]

Franken, health care reform this year, it's on !!!!!

[Samuelgagnondotcom]

that fucking guy on fox and friends the dark one what a douche bag

[sachaput]

It won't work, beause it won't work!

Damn, you can't argue with logic like that!

I've changed my mind. The GOP is right about everything. Thanks for showing me the light, Newt!

[ProfMTH]

Yeah, the purported brilliance of Newt Gingrich on display yet again. Oy. They might as well roll out Sarah Palin.

[pewpewmigoo]

Dear god please no we don't need to see more of that train wreak.

[taoofmichael]

"Barely sane, if you read his books."

Al Franked has a TEAM of Harvard researchers checking on EVERY WORD in his books. OReilly tried UNSUCCESSFULLY to sue him. He has NEVER been found in an untruth, or had to make a SINGLE retraction.

THE TRUTH HURTS, I GUESS.

[OlivierdeAthos]

(Especially for that poor bastard O'Reilly who gets called on his shit five minutes after it exits his mouth. The man is a legend for everything from TWO PEABODYS to THE PARIS BUSINESS REVIEW.)

[taoofmichael]

Right on Olivier. I've read all Franken's books, and I dont consider myself a Democratic Party cheerleader -- rather, a true progressive/American FDR socialist, but I could not find any statements which were not factual.

Republicans use spin, accusing the other guy for doing what YOU are doing, everybody does it, We're no worse than them -- ALL RHETORICAL DEVICES.

Progressives use facts, statistics, research, studies, and analysis of results to push their arguments.

[VithDos]

why is fox so angry?

[Puabond]

Because they are becoming a fringe.

[zidmt]

Because the gop leadership tells them to be angry.

[rafflegomez]

Obama is dead on. What are they worried about?

[OlivierdeAthos]

They're worried that he's a FISH!

[Darko888]

Lol Fox News indeed.
