How many of you on the forum recall the GOP supporting ANY part of Obama's health care act?

Note From The Moderator

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I've deleted two posts thus far, one that noted "declining religion" and another that noted the "new testament". If you've got a post that contains statements about religion, take it to the religion forum(without the politics).

Korea

Posted By Rod Kaufman

They're all hysterical because their tyrant died and the region is unstable. South Korea is on full alert. US troops on full alert. Oh please, the north Koreans aren't doing anything. They're too busy crying!

Thanks House Republicans

Posted By Rod Kaufman

If these guys don't agree with their Republican senators, then the payroll taxes will go up and it could hit the economy hard:

The tea party types in the house plus their minions are going to hurt us severely if this deal doesn't get done. What, they want us to pay more taxes come Jan 1st? Do you want to pay more taxes come Jan 1st? That tells you how nuts they really are...

It took a sprint missile up the kazoo to get through their thick, conservative rock hard heads, but sanity prevailed in the end. Boner for brains hit the mute function on the conference call and silenced the Tea party nut cases on this issue, once and for all.

On track:

And 42 states report unemployment rates dropping and that can't be because people have just given up looking for work :S
All of this, of course, is helping Obama:

Should We Arm UAE/Saudis?

Posted By Rod Kaufman

We're selling billions of dollars worth of fighter planes and weapons systems to the UAE and Saudi Arabia. As we've seen, the stability of these regimes is in serious question. While the imminent threat of Iran is outstanding, and the arms sales are lucrative, what happens if and when these weapon systems fall into the hands of an enemy?
