they got their asses kicked. I keep hearing the same tired worn out old talking points out of Mittsy, it's like they took Bush's old campaign speeches and changed a few words here and there...:eyes:

I'm sure Romney will have to hire a new sound-bite person.

Americans are angry with Iraq War? Really? When did you figure that one out Sherlock?

LOL he was that sime tired old cliche when Deval Patrick ran the rethugs out of Massachusetts governer's office :) Some things never change!

and is a reminder that Ms. Clinton has an innie instead of an outie and is part of the marching orders to 'feminize' the Democratic Party.

we were even going to get to vote for somebody who would "turn America into a European-type state". We don't even get that choice. All we will get is the left wing of the corporate war party vs the right wing of the corporate war party. We will not get a choice for universal single payer healthcare. We will not get a choice for public education through university level. We will not get a choice for a reinvigorated public national mass transit system. We will not get a choice for a drastcially reduced foreign military presence. We will not get a choice for a sane and tolerant drugs policy. We will not get a choice for cradle to grave economic security for all citizens. We probably will not get a choice for a real effort to address on a national and international basis the twin problems of catastrophic climate change and peak oil.

I'll vote in the primaries for Dennis Kucinich, who at least supports positions that are really left of center, but I'll get to vote in november for yet another corporate creep, one of the two choices imposed on us in our pathetic charade of representative democracy, and our republic, and our nation, will continue pretty much along the same downward spiral it is currently on.

If only.

Just because they have universal healthcare, a superior overall educational system, a higher quality of life, a longer life expectancy than ours, and their currency is worth almost twice as much as ours, there's no reason whatsoever to emulate them in any way.

:sarcasm:

Unbelievable. We are a primitive nation compared to Europe.

That's why. He's tapping into Freeper logic, not actual logic.

How silly of me.

Man, I was ALL READY to jump all over your post after reading the title until I actually read your comments. So, nevermind... LOL
And I agree with you totally. In fact I believe 1/2 of America probably agrees with you as well.

This would mean that people could actually retire in dignity before they die of overwork; that seniors wouldn't have to choose between medicine and food; that we would actually care for our citizens, rather than cater to big corporations. Children could visit doctors before their condition required a trip to the emergency room. Republics want to spare us all of that!

Wait...so, what's the downside of a European type system? I only wish that we could elect a president, and a party, who would institute these changes.

The leading causes of bankruptcy are loss of a job, divorce and medical bills. We were the richest country in the world, and yet our media clobbers Moore for suggesting that Cuba, one of the poorer countries, has health care better than ours. We're rich. They're poor. But neener-neener, we're number 37 and they're 39. Of course, they don't dump patients from hospitals onto the sidewalk like we do. I am so thankful that Republics want to spare us the horror of having a government that works for us instead of exploiting us. Stay the course!

The party that got us in the war? :crazy:

They're too busy traveling here, buying our goods, and generally enjoying their life and the fact that everything in America is 50% off because their currencies are almost twice the value of ours.


But, we have NASCAR.

Big duh.....and no, I think people delusional enough to think they will be s-s-scared of putting a Dem back in office after the disastrous BushCo years "will be surprised."

It's about the lies, the war crimes, and the needless deaths.

No Shit Sherlock. We want out of the American Occupation of Iraq.

if I play through? How do you draw a crowd at a golf course? It has basically one purpose. Tee it up.

Romney is a smug, arrogant, self-righteous SOB that I cannot stand, :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I guess I dispise Sam Brownback more, but he has zero chance..Flip Romney does stand more of a chance so he concerns me more...

I think I can honestly say there has never been a politican more I've disliked than Mitt Romney...He has zero redeeming qualities...Oh I forgot, Bill "pumpkinhead" O'Reilly said "Romney looks presidental"....George Clooney looks presidental to, since when does that qualify one to be president....F-ing bozo O'Reilly!...

But you gotta admit that his hair looks ssooooo pretty, doesn't it?

who, as the pubbys like to tell everyone, spares no expense for his haircuts! Romney is a schmuck and ever since I heard the dog story, a stinking criminal (like most the GOP). I think he's fooling himself thinking that America is not sick of the entire freaking Republican party at this point. I had to laugh the other day when Christine Kraft on Talk City (left radio out here in Sacramento) said we should still worry about Jeb Bush. I think just the sound of that name is enough to make voters hit the Dem button. I think Jebbie can fuggedaboutit!!

Welcome to DU, by the way! :hi:

Since the advent of the television.

It sucks, but that's the reality. It's why Dennis K has no chance.

Does he honestly think we're all simpering twits?

Politicians sure do live in their own little world, don't they. Amazing.

:shrug:

Does he honestly think we're all simpering twits?

Of course he does: he spends most of his time with Republicans, and draws his generalizations from there.

He has used Masschusetts as his spring board to presidency.

N/T.

We are angry about much, much more than the debacle in Iraq. We are angry about the ever-widening gap between the wealthy, and the rest of us. We are angry that our jobs are being shipped overseas, and that our corporations are recruiting foreign workers to work for less money, then having the people who are losing their jobs train their replacements.

We are angry at the out-of-control cost of health care, the loss of our civil liberties, and the greed and corruption of the Republic party. We are angry that children are only cherished until they are born, then abandoned and forgotten by the holier-than-thou right wing nuts who vote against having our country provide them with insurance.

We are angry that same-sex couples, who will live together in committed relationships regardless, are only allowed to pay taxes, but not allowed the same benefits of heterosexual married partners. This is none of the governement's business.

We are angry that more and more Americans, rather than being able to retire after a life of work, will not have the dubious American privilege of working til they drop dead, and this is due in large to Republic policies. Yes, Mitt, we're angry, and the war and occupation of Iraq is part of it, but by no means all. We are ready for a progressive president who will place citizens, regardless of their race, sexual orientation, or wealth, over cronies, and big corporations.

Then again, explaining all of this probably wouldn't phase a man who was willing to mistreat his own dog. Dogs, ordinary Americans, it's all the same to the Republic party.

The current occupant used to address the peasants from the safely of a military base. Having another GOP cheerleader and looter speaking from golf courses will be such a pleasant change. I'm sure we won't be angry then.

this proves to me he's right on top of things.
