State of the Union Address

Cat's Weasel #1 --





Cat's Weasel #2:





And biggest weasel of all...completely changes bet to discussion on another thread --
i saw a weasel present within that post

it was NOT catawba
 
the Romney tax thread proved that some posters are not only going to lie over this they are going to engage in premeditated dishonesty.

comparing all the taxes a 50K a year earner pays-state and federal (who has about a 4% effective FIT rate) with only the 15% rate a rich investor pays (which does not count property taxes, state income taxes, state sales taxes and of course the death tax at the federal and state level which often can be millions up millions) is patently dishonest
 
Boehner looks like a man who realized that the assclown in front of him is ruining america and that Obama's fawning toadies are too enamored with Obama's bashing the wealthy to realize that the clown is pissing on America
Yes, it's tearing him up.

Asks for a bill to ban insider trading by congress and he'd sign it tomorrow.

For those of you who do not know about this...






A bunch of other proposals of getting money out of politics that sounded great. Not expecting much on it though.

Just a couple of points 1) Insider trading is already illegal ask Martha Stewart.
2) Is this NEW law to ban Insider trading by members of Congress? or simply an extension of the law for everyone else who is not an elected politician or Union Boss?
 
Yes, it's tearing him up.

the left hates Boehner-he's a guy who became a millionaire on his own. A guy born to a large poor family who became successful without having the government holding his hand or patting his ass along the way.

no wonder you hate him
 
So are we going to keep talking about Boehnhead or what the thread actually suggests?

Whatever you say about Boehner, he is no leader. Gentlemen's bet that Cantor takes the Speakership this year?

Why would I hate him? I think he's a cry-baby dork.

Obama claimed exactly the same thing about Buffett's tax rate, as I did about Romney earlier today.

And I stand by the claim - Anyone that gets their income primarily from investment, like Romney and Buffett, due to the low capital gains tax rate, and virtually no payroll taxes is going to be paying a lower rate than the average person of middle class who is required to pay both income tax and payroll tax on their entire income.

Can you refute this, or not?
 
Are you too stupid to know that's a HIGHLY EDITED video?

Forgive me for thinking a president should be more than just a good orator.

Guess thats pretty much all you elected huh?

Hint: My boss isn't a good orator either, but he's created jobs and made a lot of people wealthy. And....he's never been indicted for anything illegal! Does that make him a good presidential candidate? No, no more than Obama's ability to flap those big purple lips of his.

No doubt, this is your idea of a great speech ...

Since insider trading laws don't apply to congressmen, you can save the 'on his own' crap. He had nothing when he came to congress, just like Newt.

Both are classic examples of pigs feeding at the trough, gaming the broken system to their advantage.

Apparently defending a person's speech means that all you care about is people who make good speeches. There's something new I've learned today.

Awww, you don't like that one? How 'bout this one ...





... that's your idea of a great orator, huh?
 
I'll repeat myself AGAIN since someone seems to be a bit too DENSE to understand:

I DONT GIVE A RATS ASS HOW GOOD HE CAN TALK. I CARE ABOUT HOW GOOD OF A PRESIDENT HE IS. Apparently I expect more out of a president than you do.

Shall I remind you which idiot can't count the number of states in his nation?

Get a life dude.

P.S. Bush was more of a down to earth guy than Obama will ever be. Great president? Nah, but he cared about this nation more than Obama ever has or will. You don't see photos of Bush floating around with a turbin on his head. That says A LOT.

If wearing a turban, or being able to spell it for that matter, means you hate the U.S., then I tip my hat to our nation's haters. You just keep hating, and don't care about what we say. Cheers, or in this case, hates!

So what else makes you a hater of the U.S.? Not being a white Catholic? Guess that makes me unpatriotic as well. >_>

Don't get mad at me because Obama is an empty suit with big fat purple lips and no ability to be a president. It's ok, we forgive you for voting for the moron, just don't do it again.

I spell turbin like this: B-52.

Bush doubled unemployment.

That's your idea of a good president, right?
 
Try reading what I say before you try to shoot it down. I'm not mad at you for anything concerning Obama. I'm mad at you for associating turbans with evil. And you don't have to forgive me. I didn't vote for him. I wasn't 18 yet. ;)
You can forgive me come November.

How does one measure one's ability to be a president? It seems like Obama has succeeded, since you know, his "big fat purple lips" seem to be in the white house atm.

And I don't believe your English teacher would be proud of your inability to spell turban properly, since when were numerals in words anyway?
 
I'm about half way through it. Pretty great so far. I very much like the "we are still a country that can do big things" kind of angle. IMO that's the most central distinguishing point for the Democrats. The Republicans seem to just want to drag their feet and slow the country down, oppose everything, scale back, give up. The Democrats still have a vision for a future that is better than today and they still want to aggressively go after it.
