Looks like the rightwingers finally accomplished their mission of "Second Ammendment Solutions" to get the congress they want by shooting Gabrielle Giffords in the head. Congratulations FOX News, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Ann Coulter. I would wish the same thing upon them but some of us Americans actually have to continue acting sane or this nation will fall apart.

@ETericET Yeah, stop distorting her comments, when we have audio and video of her saying it. We don't need Fox News to interpret and do our thinking for us.

[nagrimes]

@oeyesea well said

[ETericET]

Everybody .. stop distorting her comments with what she really ment. Tune into to fox news and see what she was supose to mean first next time.

@jhamm999 she said SS should be phased out and she said it couldn't be saved. you can argue the economics but not what she said. on hypocrisy: dems didn't campaign on the debt as the overwhelming issue of our time. repubs did. over and over. then the bill they're willing to die for is a huge add to the deficit. according to cbo, stimulus also has added jobs and boosted gdp every qtr. then there's hypocrisy of repubs ripping stimulus then bragging about its benefits in their state/district.

[jhamm999]

@tishhead 10 years. by that math if you do away with the dept of no education you would pay for it entirely. but without that why are you concerned considering that the stimulus added almost 1 trillion in one year? i don't remember the libs up in arms about that. now do you really want to talk about hypocrisy on steroids?

[jhamm999]

@tishhead no i said it would be phased out because if given the opportunity to keep their portion of the ss taxes to invest on their own the vast majority would. of course the media only played the portion about phasing it out to leave the impression that she would end it without any option. that is false. on your points about the 700 billion deficit adding,again the libs in the media are painting it as a cut,which it is not. but accepting your premise it would add 700 billion over cont.

[tishhead]

@jhamm999 i believe you TRIED to maintain that the SS quote was distorted but backed down because she said it should be phased out and couldn't be saved. i am still unaware of any other distortions. it was bush and the republicans who wrote them to expire this year. so if there is a hike, it's a bush hike. the bush cuts bloated the deficit then and they will continue to bloat them. if renewed, bush cuts will add 700 billion to deficit over clinton rates. hypocrisy on steroids.

[jhamm999]

@tishhead i believe i pointed out the distortions when we talked previously. what tax cuts are you talking about? the rates will stay the same as they were when bush lowered them. that is like saying i expect a 3% raise next year,then your boss tells you no we can't do it,are you then going to say you got a pay cut? now the tax cut is the payroll tax. i'm for that. the spending i'm not. they should let it go into next year and pass it and make it retro active.

[tishhead]

@jhamm999 don't stop rehashing on my account. a liberal can never lose when discussing sharron angle. feel free to pt out what was distorted. it certainly wasn't her social security comments.

hypocrisy? how about running your entire campaign saying the deficit was killing us and then making your top priority a bill that ADDS 700 billion to the deficit. saying unemployment extension has to be paid for but not the tax cuts for the top 2 percent. obama doesn't WANT this, he did what he had to.
