Kudos to Jindal. He isn’t letting the moderator or O’Malley interrupt him. He is basically filibustering his responses.

Romney Complaint of the Day - Romney set up ‘secret’ bank accounts off-shore to hide his wealth and business interests.
[Wonder how many Dems, including those on Capitol Hill and the WH, have off-shore ‘secret’ bank accounts.]
First thing you need to remember on any CNN poll is that it is B.S.
Also, people are just generally angry these days, with good reason. They start the morning by going online and seeing that Obama is still president, that right there can make a person cranky.
IMO we are not angry enough and we are angry in the wrong places.
If more folks would drive to DC and spit on the steps of the Capitol (or the Supreme Court) we might actually get closer to a remedy of the situation. :)
I know what you mean. We used to have heated, passionate arguments but they weren’t personally nasty and rude to the point of creepiness.
I think about one hundred very active posters are ruining this site for everyone. Were I the owner, I would warn and then suspend them.
You can disagree without being horrible and personal.
Try and learn that Romney hate = Obama love.
The war on rinos is always second to that of commies,surprised you don't get that!
If I understand you correctly - you personally do not object to a large overbearing Federal G’ment - As long as it is run by your party?
The only jobs the government can create are government jobs and we have way too many of them already.
I did hear they hired a whole bunch of new IRS agents, the better to get our money under obamacare since it’s now a tax.
A local hotel has closed for a major renovation leaving several of their employees out of a job.
A local fraternal organization who rents their hall for weddings etc. was looking for someone to run the banquet operations at a salary in the low $30,000 range. Several of these unemployed but qualified employees were approached about this position.
They all declined. Their reason - not working was the best option for them right now based on the current unemployment and other benefits they would receive.
I”m not repeating this story. I personally talked to them.

Moderator: Is this the new normal? [Talking about the weak economic growth.
[Media and politicians are trying to convince the rest of us that current things are the ‘new normal’ and we just need to accept low job creation, massive job losses, stagnant economy, etc., for years to come. Expect to hear ‘new normal’ more and more in the coming months.]
rodguy911, stop being a pissant.
Romney is WEAK. The moderator on FOX News asked
WHY is Romney so WEAK and not rebutting Obama.
Why is Romney not being more aggressive against
Obama’s ads, FOX News wanted to know.
Reince Priebus, Republican National Committee
chairman, looked like a deer in the headlights.
Is this all Romney HATE?
No, it is not, it is love for America and the HOPE
that someone, somewhere, someday, may wake up
and speak up. It sure is NOT Mr. RomneyCARE.
You cannot shrink the government unless you win control. Obama and the democrats will expand it, as they are now doing.
I preferred Perry as the candidate, but hardly anyone agreed, so he had the sense to drop out. He is supporting Romney. As is Newt.
Because whatever direction you want to take this country, you will be unable to do it unless you WIN THE ELECTION.
Oh my yes, those horrible $160 billion deficits Bush and a GOP congress gave us. It obvious they are no different then the 1.6 TRILLION deficits Obama and the Democrat Congress gave us.
Are you people really this blind? Have you not bothered to pay attention to a single thing that has happened in the last 4 years?
I believe the avg Federal worker when you factor benefits in makes around $80K.
Pray for America
Miss M,
I went out and watered all my plants two days ago figuring a good watering would carry them over.
It wasn’t easy; I have a big lawn and porting that hose around was painful in the searing heat. Sweat was pouring off of me, stinging my eyes and making me cuss.
But I figured the plants could hold on for a couple more days.
But no, the heat kept climbing and I just could not go out there again. Last night, on my way to church in the Jeep, the 6pm Saturday mass now that the tourons are about...the Jeep’s thermometer showed 103 degrees...this at 7 pm.
Either the plantings have survived or they’re dead is all. My heart is broken but I couldn’t do it, couldn’t go out and constantly water.
I’ve seen some dead things on my way out in the Jeep.
Comes the cool I’ll check it out.
God Bless the petunisa, impatiens, salvia, coleus, joe pye weed, coneflowers, hibiscus bush and of course my polka dot plant killed by the wrens.
More on the wrens later.
Yes, Meet the Press is at its best when it’s pre-empted by tennis, golf or bike racing.
Gregory is probably not the whole problem over here but he is part of it.
None of the Sunday shows have a good host.
Stephy, the very old dude, Gregory and our very own Chris Wallace ... none of them are good hosts.
A good host is a pleasant, likable person (see Pat Sajak). He asks penetrating questions but avoids partisanship and gotcha stuff. He actually listens to the replies.
You don't understand me correctly. I said that Obama, a wanna be Marxist dictator, is not an acceptable President of the US.
The Fox xommenter is parroting Rupert Murdoch, his boss. That is the current line being pushed by Fox and the Murdoch papers. Murdoch fancies himself a political strategist and has posted this on Twitter.
Of course, a less charitable view would be that he has been threatened by legal hassles by the DOJ akin to what has happened in the UK.
Romney HAS answered many of these charges, and there is also a saying about “Not firing until you see the whites of their eyes.”
The argument against Obamacare is very simple. Whether Romneycare is good or bad, or whether it even existed, the answer to Obamacare is this: “We cannot afford it, it kills jobs, and the people want it repealed.” End of discussion. No need to get into the tall weeds of tax vs. mandate, constitutionality, or anything else.
I suggest people actually do a little research rather than believing Fox right now. Santorum was Murdoch’s pick and he is still miffed that his influence didn’t push him over the line.
Sprinkler moving has become the big hobby around here.
It’s very exciting.
No wonder we are so frustrated here!! With all this obvious destruction of a once great nation going on right under our noses and only a handful of people acknowledging it.
