Does it make you sick as I am watching the President in Texas today.

Cruz and Perry two of the biggest scumbags in the state want Obama to take their concepts of economic development back to Washington so the whole Country could learn how they did it.

"But the devil is in the detail. Unemployment is stubbornly stuck at about 8%, below the national level but still leaving one million Texans out of work. In 2010 half a million people in the state earned no more than the minimum wage of $7.25 (£4.47) an hour. Texas, for all its glittering metropolises, has the joint highest percentage, along with Mississippi, of hourly paid workers earning the minimum wage or less."

This is piece from the Guardian written in 2011, however if you want to check most of the numbers
reflecting the disparity between the rich and middle class and poor are still spot on..

Shove this where the sun don’t shine... Mr.Perry and Cruz..

Am I out of my mind?

I would like to see this bill to pass Minn’s senate and signed into law.
My God, maybe then ,will the average American working person in Minn. begin to really get pissed.
I mean really pissed and hit the streets....Dem Gov. would never sign. However might he not be
overridden?
When will the common guy and girl who don’t follow politics, finally have enough of the Repubs. madness?

Trying to take their overtime pay away would be a great beginning!

This should be used as a DNC ad.....to be showed continually until the Republicans give up on their

Benghazi crap..

“When we were there, on our watch, we were always ready on 9/11, on the anniversary,” the former vice president added, not mentioning that nearly 3,000 people had died during the original 2001 attacks. “We always anticipated they were coming for us, especially in that part of the world.”

Can you fucking believe that this is what that scum Cheney is pushing?

How’s this mr.v.p.?
The Daily Banter’s Bob Cesca pointed out on Wednesday that there had been 13 attacks on State Department facilities overseas that resulted in dozens of deaths during Cheney’s watch.

Boggles the mind... Doesn’t it..

We live in such a stupid country.... So freaking stupid..

How could we have allowed this to happen?
Everyone is at risk wether you have insurance or not..
If your over 50 and must buy your own insurance, your price for insurance will be off the chart by the time you hit 60.. Healthy, nothing going on will by my estimates, cost close to 2 grand
a month for a single person with a modest deductible.

And the scary part it is that there is no hope.. 25% of the country feel we got this way because it is God”s will... They would rather die than give into the concept of govt. intervention...Based on gerrymandering and current geographic statistics, 25% is enough to prevent anything positive
happening.. I’m just besides myself tonight!

Isn’t this gonna fuck up the gun industry a bit?

Gun nuts are gonna spend their next several paychecks on of these 3 dimensional printers rather than going down to their local red neck armament dealer’s store..
