And there’s yer dam two-hunnert soundbite Larri.
The chart is great, but labels should indicate red for Obama-Biden and green for R-R.
As to FNC, Gillespie was not as sharp as he should have been. Took 3 questions for him to get to the critical message, and Chris Wallace helped take him there:
1. Obama raided $716 B from Medicare to feed Obamacare
2. Obamacare will drain immediate $$$ from seniors
3. No one 55 and older affected.
Gillespie: do better pronto.
What does RIH mean?
The American people get the G’ment we elect. For many years now we have known that the Democrats are Socialist dictators who desire to reduce this country to third world status.
Candidates running under the Republican banner have been mostly the same.
The Last time Republicans even attempted to reduce the Socialist creep of the Federal G’ment was Newt’s failed attempt at reducing the growth of the Federal G’ment in 1995.
2010 and 2012 has provided candidates who actually talk about eliminating Federal G’ment - Ted Cruz is just one example. Ryan may prove to be another
Rot in Hell...
Gillespie didn’t mention the ACA Death Panel that will affect seniors and everyone else immediately. This should be about Obamacare and its problems—not Medicare. The majority of Americans want Obamacare repealed. The 2010 mid terms should be used as a template,.
Yep, want to share with you all some financial insights, as some of us are still saving for our retirement/future. I am going for the turn-around. Don’t take this as rock solid financial advice, just an option to discuss. I am not the author;
Market Meltdown Portfolio
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2920161/posts
“a rundown of a portfolio that I think will hold up in any adverse market collapse”
You forget Bush's attempt to reform Soc Security in 2005 that was torpedoed by McCain and a gutless RINO clique in the US Senate
Which brings up a thought, I have. Did American voters elect them, or were our politicians selected? I used to think I knew. In the present, there are too many gray areas fading to black or fog for me to now hold the opinion American voters elect our leaders, and leaders are not selected. Not sure ... and the other reasons I hold for my current beliefs are money, media, and sound bites. Basically the voters are told by money, media, and sound bites nothing on which to base a decision or a vote. IMHO Friend.
NBC has come up with (via dem PR firm 'help') a monthly unemployment map. A map made Obama's team look bad this month - high unemployment all over the US... BUT WILL LOOK GREAT BEFORE THE ELECTION. Watch and see.
In short liberals are going to gig the numbers. Worse than truthful now - better than truthful before the election. Compare the MAPS - SEE THE TREND - STEP RIGHT UP FOLKS...
It's an old carney con - and 'the press' won't catch it. In fact, NBC is in on the con - wait and see.
And you can always counter trickle down with logic, asking if they are advocate open faucet or closed faucet instead? And then, ‘how’s that work’?
Men’s Health magazine says the Egg McMuffin is one of the healthiest breakfasts a person can consume.
I agree with you. Mooch-ells’s public scolding of Gabby was detestible. The child had too much good upbringing to retort or challenge an “adult” but she was clearly uncomfortable.
Mooch-elle’s comment was not in jest. The B is serious about controlling all behavior...and she wants PAID! to do so.

I tend to counter it using how does demand side economics work? The answer is put money in the hands of buyers and they will spend it to grow the economy. That begs the explanation that the money has to be take from someone before giving it to someone else. And that by eliminating the concept of producing something of value that can be sold, the cycle stops at giving away money someone else earned. Neither party wins.
Further....I used to make Egg McMuffins.
An English muffin, little butter, little square sliver of cheese, a small round of Canadian bacon....not a fatty meat. Fried egg, not even fried in butter.
About 250-300 calories I’d guess.
Moochelle....jeez louise I hope the American people get a clue about this silly woman.
No one wants to bring up the "choice" that seniors have to make about spending money to cover all or some of the medical expenses that Medicare does not cover. I spent some serious time in our local hospital this past year, and my only bills were for telephone/tv - because I also had chosen a very comprehensive Medicare SUPPLEMENT plan.
General impression; The Republican spokesmen need to hammer the the same points over and over and over;
Step 1 to recovery is to get Obama and his Regluation Zombies out of the Executive Branch,
Step 2 is to have adults run the tax legislation. We will not have an economic recovery that involves job growth until business owners (the golden gooses who actually are sitting on the cash) feel comfortable that they can reasonably plan, and Barack Obama does not understand that because he has never even run a lemonade stand, let alone met a payroll, and
Step 3 - we need to realize that it is not in our National Interest to have our cheap plastic crap made in China. It is, however, in our National Interest to have our cheap plastic crap made in Mexico. That way we can save on labor cost because we can't quit our regulatory addiction and if real jobs existed in Mexico all those illegals who don't have a nationality would just walk home and stay home with the jobs and opportunities they can't find at home now.
Regarding your drug costs, have you tried Kmart pharmacy, Fishtalk? Kmart has a prescription savings plan that costs $10 a year for the household. I was helping someone find a lower cost alternative to a generic drug that cost them over $100 at Walmart (they have no insurance). After paying the $10 fee for the drug plan, the cost at Kmart was about $25. Not sure if they carry generics for the drugs you take, but it might be worth a phone call to your local Kmart pharmacy to see what your regimen would cost compared to what you are paying.
