Wow. Spent $800B to give 110M people a $300 refund. Such brilliance. People might be able to afford a toaster.
George W. Bush--called one of the most divisive figures in US history by his opponents--worked on an education bill with Ted Kennedy. Barack Obama--hailed as the Great Uniter and a "transformational figure" by the media--can't even work with Olympia Snowe. I may not be impartial, but that doesn't mean I don't have the ability to set aside my biases to evaluate the facts of the situation. As I've stated before, I've known of President Obama for well over a decade, when he was my State Senator. He didn't bother to hide his real aims when he was standing up against Whitey on the South Side.
who spends $300 on a toaster? it sounds kind of excessive. u might spend $300 on the world's most sophisticated toaster but a single mother might spend that money on daycare for a few extra hours a month so that she could enroll in night school or take on some more shifts at work but again those stories dont resonate with u because u are going to spend $300 on a toaster.
That clearly went over your head. You need me to explain it, apparently. When Bush first was president, he and congress gave everyone a tax rebate to stimulate the economy and get us out of the recession he inherited from Clinton. $300, exactly. Your kind pooh poohed it because $300 is only enough to buy a toaster. What comes around goes around. FTW.
i know about bush's tax rebates that disproportionately benefited high income earners. i was merely pointing out the absurdity of your assertion that $300 was only good enough to buy u a toaster.
"Teabaggers," eh? If we're going to call repulsive language by its right name, maybe we should start with the title of this thread.
Update on the original story: http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2010/03/24/dollar-bill-throw.html?sid=101 Sounds like he was just some dude who got swept up in the mob mentality. Sucks to be him.
The weak link in democracy is education. If you don't educate the voters properly, they will fuck up everything. The Tea Party might as well be renamed the critically stupid party. They are just a bunch of hotheads with no logic who try to bully everybody to run things how they want, which of course is just a front for what they really want. They want "that Black president out of office".
I don't think that's any more true than the notion that most people who voted for Obama wanted "the Black guy in office." There are some extremists on either fringe who feel Obama's race is a defining issue. But I think that most Americans of all political stripes either don't care or are kind of proud to see a black guy in the White House. I know several tea party types, and few of them strike me as racist.
Thanks. Of all the party affiliations out there, my mix of a strong foreign policy and a limited government most likely aligns closest with the Tea Partiers. So, by your measure I'm racist and uneducated. That's a remarkably stupid position for you to hold. Good luck with it.
