Just watched Alex Witt and Karen Finney allow a republican strategist to spew dumb

talking points on our 16 trillion dollar debt........... that the young people he encounters
across the nation are very concerned that" retirement programs won’t be there for them”.

Since the subject matter was the liberalization of America, both Alex and Karen went back
to their original talking points and let this guy continue on about Young people and their
social conservative attitudes and the deficit....

Witt is just another moderate pretty face on MSNBC, but I’m surprised at Finney
She’s normally very good.

Point!!...... Fuck the original talking points... When Repubs. go off subject. Follow Them and
carefully dissect their fucking bullshit! Stick the Election results down their throats and
tell them the debt gets fixed with Jobs! Not fucking obstruction

My opinion of the seven biggest events which gave Obama a second term...during last 12 months

1) Gay marriage support
2) Moratorium on deportation.
3) Affordable Healthcare Bill.
4) Sandra Fluke
5) Akin Rape remark
6) Response to Sandy
7) Unemployment numbers drop

Did not include Bin Laden or Auto Bailout. Both happened last year.....

Just a normal everyday guy’s opinion.
Did I miss any which do not fit into any of these choices?

I’m not the brightest bulb in the tree, so please guys help me with this.....

With all thats going on. Why does Obama even have to hold another extravagant
Inauguration? I realize a lot of the money its raised privately(How Much?), however
doesn’t it seem a little tasteless for our party to throw a extravaganza such as this at
a time like this, especially since its the second time around?

Fucking Freedom Works and Americans For Prosperity are 2 groups paid for

and organized by the one per cent, are obviously using extremists and tea baggers
to carry the message concerning spending cuts. They can sit back and smile while
their dumb messengers in Congress try to instill as much havoc as possible upon the country.

This country is on the verge of great social change which scares the shit out of 1 per cent:
So this fiscal cliff bullshit is their last stand and they know it. Once the low information
voters ( excluding racists and extremists ) begin seeing the results of the Obama Changes
beginning with healthcare ( hopefully leading to single payor.), more stimulus etc, then its
all over for those arrogant pricks!

How sad is this? Talk about helplessness.......


My feelings are that men who suffer from the same thing,
act out and usually end up in prison. Too much shame for a woman....
Just an uneducated opinion....

I’m telling all again. If you’re dealing with private health carriers not through your employer.....

The years 60-65 are fucking brutal. And they're considering adding 2 more years on?

Fuck that! Big Time! With a huge deductible and out of pocket plan to keep your premium low
you can expect those two years ( without Obamacare ) to cost you at least an extra 12 thousand.
And thats if you’re healthy.

For all you people in your 40s and have private healthcare plans for you or your family,

the nightmare will begin ( just on the premium side) 2 months before you turn 50.
I’m talking just premium increases here, will average 15% as high as 25% until you reach 65.if
you think switching to a lower deductible plan will help? It might, but we just got hit for a minor
in and out hospital operation which out of pocket cost $7,000. So its a gamble...

No matter who you have as an private insurer, they all stink, you better be concerned right now
about getting our govt. to get into the single payor healthcare business. If not, be prepared to pay at
least $1,000 per month when you hit 60 with 15-25% increases per year until 65. And this only
applies to people who have had a clean bill of health for 20 years like us.... until that operation I
mentioned above. In short, the 60’s before Medicare kicks are awful if you rely on private healthcare, The minimum amount for a single person from years 60-65 will be around $75,000 per person. This
is based on my own experience, with lots of healthcare shopping experience.

Get involved now!

50% of Republicans hate Obama because of stupidity, the other 50% hate him because........

If they don’t stop him now they are literally fucked.
His fiscal policies of getting revenue into govt. hands to provide stimulus to an
already improving economy would spell disaster for the repukes. Obama care is another
arrow waiting to plunge into their existence.
This country is changing and the only service which republicans as a political party can play
is to act as the old grumpy accountant in the back office reminding us that we must be careful
on what we spend. But!!!! They will be so weak that they will have little power to decide what the
spending should be on........This is what I hope, and I like my odds!
