So Politifact just hit a new low. They fact checked the "Paul Ryan wants to end Medicare as we know it" claim and said:
I thought it was a joke until I saw the actual page. "Is the sky blue? Well, that seems more opinion than fact. See, color blind people don't see it as blue, so it's all subjective."
ouch. That's game changing

Fox News just outed the name and identify of the chief in the elite Navy SEAL Team 6 who was one of the first men in the room where bin Laden died.
Bin Laden was revered by Muslim fundamentalists everywhere. Now, this hero and his family members will forever be targets of Muslim fundamentalists that wish to avenge Bin Laden's death

I didn't really understand it until I started browsing GAF, crazy enough.Don't gloat.
It's unbecoming.
No one is born with the knowledge of how progressive taxation works (no one but the Jews that is) he just had the misfortune of learning it in public.
This calls for an abortion party.
If Democrats get off with only losing one seat (-NE/WI, +ME), that's still better than what anyone could realistically expect two years ago. And it's still possible for them to gain, although not by much.Missouri shouldve been a relative gimme for Republicans. But for strategic purposes, Akin was enough of a liability before the legitimate rape fiasco that Republicans had to approach the map under the assumption that McCaskill would hold on. Thats not a friendly map.
To net four seats, not including Missouri, Republicans would have to win four of the seven most-at-risk seats held by vulnerable or retiring Democrats Jim Testers seat in Montana, Sherrod Browns seat in Ohio, Bill Nelsons seat in Florida, and seats being vacated by Nebraskas Ben Nelson, North Dakotas Kent Conrad, Virginias Jim Webb, and Wisconsins Herb Kohl without losing a single one of their own vulnerable seats particularly those held by Scott Brown in Massachusetts and Dean Heller in Nevada and those being vacated by Olympia Snowe in Maine, Jon Kyl in Arizona, and Dick Lugar, who lost his primary, in Indiana.
Currently independent Angus King whos many expect to caucus with Democrats is favored to win in Maine. If his lead holds, Republicans will have to flip five seats.
Doing that without Missouri will be difficult. Democrats currently lead in polls of Montana, Ohio, Florida, North Dakota and Virginia. If their leads hold in Nebraska and Wisconsin, they still have to flip three races.
I just heard hannity claim Obama's campaign is the dirtiest and sleaziest in American history while changing channels.
Poor dude looked like he head was gonna pop off. lol
I'd love to the see the psychology of how one deludes themselves into believing such bullshit.I just heard hannity claim Obama's campaign is the dirtiest and sleaziest in American history while changing channels.

If Obama wins I hope he goes on Letterman and jokes about that, saying something like "I guess they've spent so much time wondering where I was born that they forgot I'm from Chicago."

Because this shit both fascinates me and terrifies me at the same time.

A new Rasmussen Poll has Akin down by 10 points.
Well . . .Mittens finally released his energy plan.
So basically, Drill Baby Drill Part Deux.
I like the part about nuclear, but I doubt that goes over well.
During the Obama administration:Mr. Romney set out several main goals for this plan:
It would cut federal permitting hurdles, contending that shift would vastly boost US oil and gas exploration both onshore and off. Nuclear energy would get fast-tracked reactor designs.
If he wins he should have someone play "Sweet Home Chicago" at his inauguration.
"Big business is doing fine in many places," Romney said. "They get the loans they need. They can deal with all the regulation.
"They know how to find ways to get through the tax code, save money by putting various things in places where there are low tax havens around the world for their businesses."
Medicare isn't being changed - how people pay for it is. I think it's time dems moved away from the "as we know it" jargon and simply call it what it is: a voucher. They are changing the way people pay for Medicare services. That's not as appealing as the "as we know it" line but imo dems should be more specific on this.
Everyone understands what a voucher is. The facts haven't changed since Obama's mini debate with Ryan at the republican retreat two years ago: you get a specific amount of money that does not scale with health care costs - so while the amount you receive from Medicare remains stable, health care costs continue to surpass. Meanwhile the GOP plan does nothing to address health care costs, and if they cut pre-condition coverage you're screwed. Hell, even if they don't cut pre-condition coverage you're still screwed as costs increase due to the lack of a mandate (or public option).
Means i get more money in my paycheck though.No, no, no, no, no. This is absolutely wrong. Medicare is a government-run insurance program. It has infrastructure and administration. Paul Ryan's plan literally eliminates it. The "as we know it" jargon is bullshit, because it is entirely too generous. Paul Ryan's proposal doesn't end Medicare "as we know it." It ends Medicare.
I can't believe even Democrats get brainwashed by Republican bullshit. Wake the fuck up, man, and use your brain.

But the program it's replaced by is also called Medicare, so it's totally the same.No, no, no, no, no. This is absolutely wrong. Medicare is a government-run insurance program.

Wasn't Biden also the poorest member of Congress? I can't blame him for not being too charitable with his money.

Let them speak so they can discredit their party further!I love the ad I keep getting in this thread about the tea partiers not being allowed to speak at the RNC
The guy makes a million dollars every five years since 1998. "Poor" Joe Biden.
200k+ AGI definitely aint poor. Thats a MIGHTY comfortable living, so yea, he can defintiely be called out on that
Huffington Post said:Booker has reportedly been taking meetings with party chairs in the weeks ahead of the Democratic National Convention, which begins on September 3 in Charlotte, N.C. During these meetings, Booker and adviser Mark Matzen have expressed interest in challenging Gov. Chris Christie (R) next year.
Sounds like Cory Booker's going to take the plunge on challenging Christie in 2013.

Just make sure not to record there or you might get gunshots on the mix.
I made three (nearly four) times less than him and donated about three times as much until 2007.Wasn't Biden also the poorest member of Congress? I can't blame him for not being too charitable with his money.
Exactly.lols. Even I gave more to charity than Joe, a lot of those years. In real dollars.
