What's new

Paul Ryan thinks you're a ****ing retard

Politicians lie. Politicians stretch the truth. Politicians tell half-facts. It's what they do. All of them.

Not true. I have never lied, nor stretched the truth in my short, but crazy political career. My father in law, who is on the T-Ville city council has never either.

The combination of lies put forth by politicians and the media has lead to the most uniformed and uneducated generation in our country's history. Our society is going down the tube, but the people who can fix it only care about ratings and polls.

Edit: and if I were to assign portions of blame it would be 80% blame on the media and 20% blame on the politicians.

THIS is the root of the problem, imo.

Who hasn't, NAOS? I'm not being snarky, either .. who hasn't lied during their campaigns. Name one.

Already covered, but David P. Ballou.

I only got to page three of this thread because it had already deteriorated into a steaming pile of Pearl Watson, and I've had enough of that for one day. Cheerio.
 
^^ I meant Presidential candidates lie.
I too blame the media far more than the politicians.
I also agree this thread belongs in the trash.
 
OT:

Damn.

I would never put myself anywhere near the realm of "*** man", but oh... the things I might do to that. (draw it, photograph it, take it to the beach, etc.)

You back pedal better than Salty.

Don't know of this saltiness. No, I don't back-peddle, I clarify statements that would had otherwise been understood by even the most casual intellect.

That's a lot of words to just say, "You're dumb".

I'm hurt, actually.
 
@PKM,

I say this with all due respect (since I acknowledge you are a valuable contributor here), but what role would you say you played in producing a "trashy" thread?

I wouldn't call her trashy. Tight jeans are allowable on a woman, imo.


I agree I contributed to it. I agree I did so with my fair share. My defense, though, is that I actually didn't mean to. It just took me like a million pages to understand what you were trying to say. So, yes, I did, but this time, unintentionally. (which sucks, because it's far more fun to do it on purpose)

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

I've been pushy and adamant about a few things. Sometimes I forget this place is better for pure humor.

I enjoy the serious talk as much as the humor. Though sometimes it's somewhat difficult to get a point across with all the cross-fire and derailings.
 
I didn't see the speech, but this "fact check" by Ms. Madow is not accurate:

8 years of Bush:

Starting national debt - 5.728 T
Ending national debt - 10.627 T

10.627 T - 5.728 T = 4.899 T added

Obama in less than 4 years:

Starting National debt - 10.6257 T
Current National debt - 15.992 T

15.992 T - 10.6257 T = 5.336 T added

4.9 is pretty close to 5.0, and I'd guess that there are different ways to count the total -- unfunded future liabilities accrued , in or out?

and looking at the Obama totals is a bit unfair, without noting that he is spending money to support the economy the Republicans broke, no?
 
Creating debt is creating debt. Some day there may be some measure of whether it was effective/wise.

Dude, while Bush did so ****ing much to **** things up, you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE the deregulating bull**** that Clinton pushed through when you speak of this "broken economy." The blame isn't on one party.
