@jayceelb you wrote "The left, (right from the pages of 1984) say "investments", instead of "corrupt spending". Understand?"

point well stated! Right wingers tend to be more forceful so they control the debate in this country! Republicans are unapologetic while liberals tend to be pussies! Conservatives have done a great job in turning every liberal word into a 4 letter word in American politics so the left keep changing the words instead of challenging the right! I wish they'd grow a pair!

@luvitluvitbaby "anybody can take someone's idea, twist it " Perhaps but you were using a term of art.  Such things are very useful to organize a thought, or statement. Saying that Franco was a Fascist is truthful and accurate. In the book "1984" the Language of the State is "news-speak" which means using non defined terms to look like you are saying one thing and meaning another. The left, (right from the pages of 1984) say "investments", instead of "corrupt spending". Understand?

@redbaroniii You wrote "Surprised that you would so mischaracterized Old Abe."

Now you see what I go through debating right-wingers, anybody can take someone's idea, twist it and distort it into something it's clearly not. Anybody can label anything they disagree with as Communism, that doesn't make the label true

Many ideas in the American Jobs Act were supported by Republicans and Democrats Liberals and Conservatives, but because so many of you want to HATE Obama you tune that part out!

@luvitluvitbaby "ABRAHAM LINCOLN THE SOCIALIST LOL!" Suppressed that you would so mischaracterized Old Abe. You have a warped idea about people that resist tyranny. We have a firm political belief that there should be a strong government. Size does not matter but purpose does. We don't mind taxes/spending either, not at all. We do fight when that government uses its power to regulate our personal lives in breach of the constitution.

This lady reminds me of my first wife. What a Bitch !

@redbaroniii You're calling Obamacare lousy and you don't even know what it is lol! It took me a week just to convince you it wasn't a socialized single-payer system. The GOP has spread so much misinformation most Republicans believe there are death panels and penalty of jail time if you don't adhere to the provision lol! They believe a bureaucrat is going to escort them to their doctor's appointment, sit in on the appointment and dictate! The nonsense coming from the right is mind numbing lol!

@redbaroniii just read up on it, you were right I stand corrected, it wasn't paid for through tax dollars! It was even worse than that! It was paid for by the government HANDING OVER land to the railroad companies and allowing them to PAY for it with full with interest much later! You know what, that sounds a lot like Obama's Auto Bailout! ABRAHAM LINCOLN THE SOCIALIST LOL! All the other examples used taxpayer funds, explain that!

[redbaroniii]

@luvitluvitbaby "railroad was paid through taxpayers," Not so, the railroads go the money from investors and earned land as they built the railroad. Tax payor money was not used

[redbaroniii]

@luvitluvitbaby " we NEED great infrastructure" Sure Of course, but not on China's money. We need to take the money from the Lousy Obama care and use it to help people live a better life.

@redbaroniii Al Gore did not invent the internet lol! Where do you think military funds come from silly, the military stork lol? They come from tax payers! The railroad was paid through taxpayers, Bottom line, this country built much of its wealth due to infrastructure! Other countries are updating their's and ours is 30 years overdue! If we want to remain competitive in the 21 st Century we NEED great infrastructure case closed!
