Judson Phillips, Tea Party Nation head, objects to defense cuts proposed by the Democratic administration which wants to downsize from 11 to 9 carrier task forces. Phillips says we should be building more aircraft carriers to create jobs. The tea-party movement has argued that stimulus doesn't work and can't create jobs or economic activity yet a major teahadist can argue for defense spending on Keynesian grounds. These people are complete morons.

@SenseOfRumor The stimulus did not create jobs and did not and could not work. At a recent Senate hearing the CBO head admitted the stimulus will weaken the economy by lowering GDP growth...I guess you missed that. Most of the stimulus was also not spent on infrastructure but on social welfare and junk programs. Only a tiny fraction was spent on infrastructure...you must have missed that as well.
Two weeks ago, Fox News told its dittohead viewers that a credit rating downgrade might be a good thing. After the downgrade and market crash where the S&P 500 alone lost $729.3 billion in value with its drop for the day of 6.66 percent, Fox viewers were then told that the GOP downgrade is a tragedy caused by the White House. There’s a good reason Fox viewers are the least informed.
According to The Center for Voting and Democracy, 86% of people earning more than $75,000 vote in presidential elections. Only 52% of people with incomes under $15,000 vote. As a result, politicians are three times more responsive to high-income constituents than middle-income constituents and the least responsive to the needs of low-income constituents. Most of us aren't properly represented and should be more involved in the political process because we're getting screwed by the wealthy.
Vote for Sandy Pasch against incumbent Sen. Alberta Darling who was campaigning in Mequon on Saturday and was invited to the nearby supportive Tea Party rally of a "huge" crowd (275 people) in Thiensville but did not attend. Gee, I wonder why? Could it be that the teahadists just held the country hostage over raising the debt ceiling and that she might be subject to some embarrassing questions from reporters? Could it be the embarrassingly low turnout of a dwindling movement?

Oh isn't this nice..........a grandma moocher bragging to other taxpayers that she is getting free care for her grandson because she can't go pay for it herself. She has to dip from the government trough. And then demonizes those who actually try to spend responsibly. Typical Democrat stupidity.
@truthforamerica What kind of insensitive republican moron are you? If her grandchild has to go to the emergency room for lack of alternatives, it comes out of your pocket anyway. Oh, I get it - you're one of these American fascists who would rather "extinguish the weakest". You are the ones to be "extinguished" - by public opinion, and very soon, so prepare yourself for right wing Armageddon.

@SenseOfRumor This is where you are wrong. We aren't talking about emergency care here. Here is a woman who is bragging about the fact that her grandchildren's healthcare is paid for by others. Under Obama, there are more people on foodstamps than any other president in history. There has been an explosion of government dependence and people like you demonize anyone who wishes to get this country on fiscal responsibility. You eventually run out of money and everything crashes.
@truthforamerica You sound like a self-centered little prick that doesn't care about anybody but himself. Everything you've said betrays a lack of understanding of current affairs, economics and cause-and-effect. It's a pity that you have the right to vote without a proper education but that's why we have a Republic and not a Democracy. Eventually you morons get weeded out. We are in this economic mess because of your kind of ignorance which is unfortunately all too common in this country.
@truthforamerica You called this woman "a grandma moocher bragging to other taxpayers that she is getting free care for her grandson because she can't go pay for it herself" etc. etc. Why not prove YOUR asinine comments. Let's see some sources that aren't from right wing whackos. I have tons of CBO numbers and conclusions at my fingertips to prove you to be an uninformed jerk.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@SenseOfRumor I have plenty too. The bottom 49% of income earners paid no federal income tax. The top 10% pay almost half the load. Most Obama voters are included in the class that don't have skin in the game. They vote for people who promise to soak "the evil rich" more. They think that government should provide their food, college education, housing...I could go on and on. Like this woman....do you think the government just created the money? They took it from someone to pay for her.
@truthforamerica As you say, "the top 10% pay almost half the load". What you failed to say is that the top 10% controls 73% of the wealth. You lie by omission. You facetiously say Obama voters "vote for people who promise to soak 'the evil rich' more" when in fact the wealthiest currently pay record low income tax rates of 35% and enjoy $106,800 earned income caps on their payroll tax. Where are the jobs? Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and others think you're nuts. I think you hate the needy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@SenseOfRumor You lied by omission too. You said "control" the wealth. How much did they actually earn genius? Actually.........it's pointless with you. All you can say about people who want financial sanity in the U.S. is that they hate the needy. On the contrary, there needs to be safety nets. However, we have elevated the status of a welfare state and people like you are proud of it. When you actually do something that contributes to the society economically, then talk.
@truthforamerica Dear Chicken Little - Social programs create jobs and benefit the needy "people like you" seem to hate so much. The only welfare I see is corporate. If the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire, future deficits will be cut by about half, to sustainable levels. A healthy budget requires a healthy economy and recessions reduce tax revenue at a time when government MUST spur demand and create jobs, even if it temporarily worsens the deficit. This is the worst time to cut spending.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@SenseOfRumor Oh great.....someone who believes in Keynesian economics. Japan has been doing what you just said for decades and it hasn't worked. Obama promised 8% unemployment with the porkulus bill and it is much worse. By the way, if you confiscated 100% of people's income who made $10 million or more in 2009, that is enough to run the government for 24 days. You are too stupid to realize that Washington has a spending problem, not a taxing problem.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@SenseOfRumor Yet again, you meet none of my numbers with facts. You spout the "blame Bush for everything" mantra. In your twisted mind, you think that people keeping more of their OWN money actually "costs" the government revenue. The Bush tax cuts benefited every class and that was why Obama wanted to keep those for the so called middle class. But you have your head too far up your politics to deal in facts. It's like a reflex....blame Bush, it's the rich, corporate jets, blah blah.
@truthforamerica You started by calling this woman "a grandma moocher bragging to other taxpayers that she is getting free care for her grandson because she can't go pay for it herself". Well, duh - you are not the kind of person we really want in a free society where everyone gets an equal break. You sound more like a fascist the more you talk.

@SenseOfRumor And again, you use emotions for arguments, not facts. I stated many facts backing them up with numbers but apparently you aren't bright enough to argue logically. Oh well, I should know by now arguing with a liberal is a complete waste of time.

@SenseOfRumor You can read can't you? Or were you educated in a government school? Look at my comments. By the way, the politician running in this ad lost. Looks like Wisconsin voters wanted to keep the Republican in.
@truthforamerica Though Pasch unfortunately lost to Darling, two other Democrats booted republicans from seats in republican districts. Being one member short of a majority, Democrats just need republican Senator Dale Schultz to vote with them against Walker as he did before and it's over for Walker's war on the middle class. As for my being able to read, your sarcasm, cynicism and lack of insight reveal your Galtian cultism. Remember, even Ayn Rand took Social Security and Medicare as will you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@SenseOfRumor No, it was and is a war on corruption and fraud and union thuggery and war for the continued existence of a strong and viable middle class. The untold millions and millions of dollars being wasted on healthcare costs by the unions is one example that has been exposed since the Republican reforms. Now school districts and Wisconsin children are reaping huge rewards. Businesses looking to leave the state are now looking to enter the state. Your false propaganda failed - big time.
@truthforamerica The biggest spending problem we have is the money we spent on the Bush tax cuts. Grow up. You're really a rude person aren't you - the future of America. God forbid.
Hubert Humphrey lived through the Great Depression, and understood like FDR how to recover from economic collapse. Medicare is in no way a welfare or give-away program: it is an economic recovery program. To oppose Medicare is a vote for economic depression. The New GOP is anti-economy!
Alberta must be a darling of Dr. Evil or Scott Walker. Medicare is as American as apple pie. Medicare is not a "giveaway" program, it is a nearly half-century-old program designed to keep people solvent and working. Working people! This was the constituency of Hubert Humphrey, architect of Medicare. The New GOP are actually anti-capitalist. By killing Medicare, they will hamper the recovery from the biggest recession (2008) since The Great Depression.

And who pays for this kid's care? Where is the father and mother who created this child? Where is the personal responsibility? No one is oppressing the working class! They are hurting themselves by their own stupidity! The government is destroying the middle class by expanding welfare programs and making people dependent on the government. Why should you get your healthcare for free when I work and pay for mine and my family's?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@bhamlaxy If you cannot afford the healthcare, don't have the kids. I have kids and have paid for their health insurance for decades. I don't a new car or the latest cellphone, but I get by. I am tired of paying for the healthcare of the lazy and stupid though.
God less your grandson and I wish Sandy success. My daughter has roots in WI on her dad's side. I am running for president in 2016. I won't be elected, may not make it on a ballot, but I will be a channel for people's voices to be heard. I don't know what I'd do without my Medicare or my grandchildren's Medicaid and Peach Care. It's better than nothing, and their mama works hard but has no coverage. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
This is a tight recall race by Sandy Pasch (D) against incumbent Alberta Darling (R) in Wisconsin Senate District 8. However, this is not just a Wisconsin fight but a national one. Republicans can't be trusted to govern because they hate government "of, by and for the people". Those of us outside the proud state of Wisconsin are in solidarity with Democrats against republican oppression of working class Americans.
