I don't know who composed it, but the Snopes analysis seems pretty lame to me.

Interesting that an extremely successful comedian doesn't respond to some chain email running around the rightwing blogosphere???

Stating that Foxworthy does not get partisan in that manner with his comedy is a very valid point. And unless you really, really, really want it to be written by Foxworthy, it's pretty obvious that it is not.

IF you only worry about the debt when a democrat is in office, yet ignore 2 wars on the credit card, a senior drug benefit on the credit card, all supported by Ryan and his band of "fiscal hawks", you might be a hypocrite.
IF you don't know the difference between classroom material and learning supervised by an educational professional and a crude, ill-mannered comment by a child, you might be a moron.
IF the party you support whines about feeding the poor but has no problem with giving the oil industry $BILLION$ in subisidies, you might be a hypocrite.
IF you support a candidate that promotes "zero down mortgages" and envisions an "Ownership Society", then complain when it "doesn't work out", you might be a hypocrite.
IF you falsely whine about "your constitutional rights" being taken, when reality and facts don't support it, you might be a sniveling hypocrite.

The hue and cry that the federal government will not allow such laws is the bogus part.

Sorry, I missed the federal connection.

If you support using the power of the government to intimidate opposition voices--then you just might be a hypocrite.
Supporting Free Speech means that you support the very speech that you hate. To support only the Rights to speak that with which you agree is tyranny.

That's because there is not one.

Voting laws are governed by the states and that includes Federal elections as well. This came up during the last election when some people were griping about how Republicans cut out Sunday voting in some states they controlled and how in other Republican controlled areas they cut back the voting hours.

Republicans were quick to point out that there are NO Federal laws concerning voting, that all voting laws are controlled by the states, and that they were running things so everyone would just have to get over it.

As the fellow said in Pennsylvania: Voter ID to insure a Republican win... Done!

Reminds me of 2000 when the liberal court members discovered states rights and the conservative members discovered voters rights.

Of course, if one only sees one side to a given controversy it makes explanations much simpler.

Is that why Republicans are only allowing those friendly to their version of events to testify at any hearing concerning the events in Benghazi?

Non-Republicans can call witnesses. Just like when that dome-headed weasel from California ran gov oversight. Waxman. That's his name. What is it about California that they have to play Javert?

The economy destroyed during the Bush years? Please. What was the price of gas the day our lord and savior took office? $1.659 at the gas station nearest to my house. Today? $3.389, yet in some people's minds this economy is better than the previous administrations. The entire economy started to contract just after Jan of 2007. Remember? That is when the Dems took over the house and senate.

The only time this country did not have a debt was just prior to the civil war. With the current GDP to debt ratio the my children will never be able to own a home, due to the fact to sustain this level of spending, coupled with the minimum increases in programs the federal tax rate will have to increase to greater than 60% JUST TO MAINTAIN IT.

The debt to GDP ratio in 1946 was 118%. During the last years of Bush's administration the debt to GDP ratio was 84%.

The US pulled through both of those with no Depression.

And don't forget, the entire economy started to contract just after Jan of 2007. Remember? That's when the housing bubble began to unwind.

To blame something as complex as the economy on one political party or another is truly something only a Conservative would think is intelligent. But then, it sure beats trying to understand what's really going on.

If you can explain what is really going on, and prove it, you will earn your 2nd Nobel.

Forward.

Pooka · #42 06-05-2013, 11:24 PM

And.....

Why would anyone want to sustain that level of spending? All you have to do is look back at Federal spending a few years and you will see that it has been going down every year.

You see.... To get at an accurate conclusion you have to start with accurate facts and not a collection of 'what ifs' and 'it seems to me' statements.

Botnst · #43 06-05-2013, 11:25 PM

... and all of the facts, not just those which support one's parochial conclusions.

The Repubs are making their case. The opposition also gets to makes its case. Do you expect the prosecutor to also defend the accused?

You should see how the dems run things in Maryland--if you want to see "fairness". Whne having hearings on upcoming legislation, and the public is invited to speak, those supporting the democrat position are given favorable times, and longer time to speak, while the opposition is made to wait, and wait, and wait, and maybe not even allowed to speak at all.
Its politics.

Evidently Pooka has never been in a court of law, or even seen an episode of Perry Mason. In this country, BOTH sides of an issue get to present their case. It happens a little differently in congress, but you can bet those guys will get their say, that is if they WANT to.
